• Fox Business News → Fox Business Network (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Deletion of this redirect, as it causes confusion with Fox News (FNC) and the business programming thereon, e.g. Your World with Neil Cavuto. RVJ (talk) 14:33, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Fox Business (TV program), which seems to be the most relevant target. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 22:45, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Retarget to Fox Business (TV program), not exactly the best redirect IMO as this is not the program's title but the program does discuss business news.--Lenticel ^(talk) 05:23, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Men's singles → Single skating (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

This needs to be changed, since tennis has men's singles too. Not sure what the best approach is. 124.168.91.7 (talk) 01:08, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete lots of sports have these things, badminton, tennis, singles artistic skating, etc. 76.65.128.132 (talk) 03:23, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as useless (unless some useful target can be found). Hope someone of these ~30 people per month comes here to explain their real target. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 22:45, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete too vague to be useful --Lenticel ^(talk) 05:20, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Retarget to Tempest (band). Ruslik_Zero 18:26, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Tempest (rock band) → Graham Oliver (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Delete: Very confusing redirect becaues it points to the page of a musician where the word 'Tempest' does not appear at all. The term 'rock band' is also confusing because we have a different redirect called Tempest (band) that points to a current group who use rock elements in their music. 178.203.51.161 (talk) 08:18, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: see pre-existing article and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tempest (rock band) for how this happened to become a redirect to Graham Oliver. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 22:45, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: The discussion does not appear to address the issues I originally raised and it appears outdated. Primarily, the band 'Tempest' is no longer even mentioned on Graham Oliver's page. As a person who has never heard of Graham Oliver until this redirect, I was incredibly confused stumbling upon this page for this very reason. I believe others must be as well. If the band does not even merit the notability of a single mention on Graham's page, then should it deserve a redirect? 178.203.51.161 (talk) 07:17, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The AfD linked above had two votes of delete and one of redirect. That is not a consensus to redirect. Thus, we can delete it here. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 04:54, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is an issue of WP:NOTDEMOCRACY: deleting it had no sense. This reason still applies. Or would you prefer to re-create and delete this redirect every time someone adds or removes info about the band to the target article? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 10:05, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
