• Talk:Queen of spades → Talk:Queen of spades (disambiguation) (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Visiting this and neighboring talk pages yesterday was confusing for me. Queen of spades should have its own Talk. So should the disamb page (under purview of a relevant administrative WikiProject?). Talk:The Queen of Spades (opera) begins with some of the relevant discussion; perhaps it was the first of neighboring articles. Talk:The Queen of Spades (story) does not include any such content. Other Talk for pages disambiguated at Queen of spades (disambiguation) may include material that belongs either here or at the target; I haven't checked. --P64 (talk) 23:59, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• You don't need deletion for this, just remove the redirect syntax. Leaving a blank page is be fine (which I'm about to do), but in this case I suggest you leave a note linking to where the relevant old talk is. Thryduulf (talk) 16:57, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Indian → Template:User India (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

This redirect is commonly misused in articles where editors think that {{Indian}} is what goes in the |nationality= field. it would be better to just delete the redirect, rather than have a userbox appear in the infobox. Frietjes (talk) 19:50, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. Especially with the variant uses of "Indian" (all South Asians, American Indians, the motorcycle) -- 76.65.128.43 (talk) 02:02, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Fear appeal → Appeal to fear (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Request deletion of redirect. Fear appeal has an entirely separate page from Appeal to fear, and they are two different concepts. Re-directing the search query "fear appeal" is likely to prevent users interested in the academic concept of fear appeals from reaching said information. Arkhetypon (talk) 17:05, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, primarily so Fear appeals can be moved there per WP:SINGULAR. Note that there is a merge discussion concerning Fear appeals and Appeal to fear, but as long as the articles are separate, the nominator is correct that the redirect is misleading. --BDD (talk) 00:53, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
