• Janni Lee Simner → Wikipedia:WikiProject Abandoned Drafts/Janni Lee Simner (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

A redirect from the mainspace to a draft article in the project space. Yaksar (let's chat) 20:41, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Currently the page doesn't exist, which is probably the way it should be as per WP:RED. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 02:04, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Move project draft over redirect without prejudice to an AfD discussion. I see no net WP:RED benefit in deletion when we have a workable stub already. Moving the draft to article space is the subject's best chance of getting attention. I am far from convinced as to notability but that can be resolved at AfD.

• IOUs → IOU (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

I don't think there should be redirects just for pluralized forms; article titles are usually singular and this does not fall into a class where they should be plural. Internally the only thing that linked here was Foreign-exchange_reserves#Purpose which could just as easily, and now does, link as [[IOU]]s. Si Trew (talk) 14:00, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Google search throws out no search results linking to the redirect. Si Trew (talk) 14:03, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as per WP:R#KEEP reason #2. The target page contains the plural form, so it may be used in a wild and thus can be usable. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 02:07, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, this is a standard {{R from plural}}. Thryduulf (talk) 20:38, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as a standard {{R from plural}}. Bridgeplayer (talk) 20:50, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
