Cross-namespace redirect. — Rebelguys2 ^talk 21:58, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirects of this form have been deleted in the past. There are currently 39 of them. Some consider them to be a bad idea, while others think they are harmless (see here). I would personally prefer them to be deleted – Gurch 12:45, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• I on the other hand think that it's helpful to have these types of redirects. I vote for keep. --Kimon^talk 15:29, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as violation of WP:ASR – Tivedshambo (talk) 15:42, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  comment - WP:ASR is a guideline and not policy. In any case, the guideline does state They should at least be acknowledged or marked as self-references but not necessarily be deleted as they serve their purpose here on Wikipedia[1]. --Kimon^talk 15:48, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per precedent of bundled nom Wikiproject Foo → Wikipedia:WikiProject Foo. These shortcuts are unnecessary and not very helfpul given the search feature. They also run the risk of giving casual users the mistaken impression that we write articles about our own projects. WjBscribe 14:09, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  Comment I accept that there is precedent. But, as you stated in that RFD, consensus may change :) --Kimon^talk 14:49, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect created by page move, unlikely anyone would type this in, and contains a typo anyway  – Tivedshambo (talk) 08:26, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I think these type of redirects are sometimes useful in combination with certain templates, but the misspelling rules out that possibility, so just nuke the thing. "Disambigulation" does sound like an interesting activity, though. :) Xtifr _tälk 20:54, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, but god that typo made me laugh out loud --Closedmouth 16:09, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I should write a song titled "Disambigulation discombobulation." :) 69.201.182.76 00:40, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete redirect "Coastal Indians" could refer to Native Americans or natives of India or the West Indies in numerous coastal places around the world. No reason to assume a visitor to WP would be looking for Washington tribes. If they were, the "search" button is sufficient. -Pete 19:54, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• This should follow the result of the AFD. If the AFD keeps the target, then the redirect should be kept. If the AFD deletes the target, then the redirect would be deleted as a db-redirnone. There is no need for this RFD. -- JLaTondre 17:09, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
