The result of the discussion was Re-targeted to Thirtysomething. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:47, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because of this redirect, I'm not sure how someone could possibly find their way to the TV series, if they didn't know it was a compound word (and we should never expect people to know this kind of distinction). This should probably redirect to Thirtysomething (a disambig page) instead D O N D E groovily Talk to me 17:40, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to Thirtysomething per nom. We needn't try to guess whether someone searching for this title is searching for the term, the TV series or the album. -- Black Falcon (talk) 17:53, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Thirtysomething - plainly correct. Bridgeplayer (talk) 17:40, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:48, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Implausible typo redirect: we cannot hope to and should not try to account for every possible accidental pressing of the "Shift" key. A39 road (Great Britain), which is properly capitalized and thus possibly useful for linking, exists. Note that stats.grok.se shows c. 60 hits per month for this redirect, but the tool does not distinguish between different capitalizations, so most of the hits likely are for the properly capitalized redirect. -- Black Falcon (talk) 01:34, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Kept full URLs and Deleted partial ones. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:49, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Implausible redirects from domain names to their respective wikis with little in page view stats. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 01:36, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Uncyclopedia.wikia.com and Www.c2.com. Redirects from an url to an article on the relevant page is a foreseeable search term and just fine. Delete C2.com/cgi/wiki and C2.com/cgi-bin/wiki; partial urls which are of no benefit. Bridgeplayer (talk) 17:32, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:51, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

True, but not exactly an encyclopedic search term. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 01:36, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - possible search term and the target is relevant. Bridgeplayer (talk) 17:22, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - This is an "X is an instance of Y"-type redirect, not unlike redirecting the name of a painter to the article Painter. If "Wikipedia is the worst" was a quote or something mentioned in the target article, then I would support the redirect; it appears, however, just to be a random criticism (and, therefore, an unlikely search term). -- Black Falcon (talk) 22:19, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Actually, it's not even a criticism per se, but merely a negative assertion. -- Black Falcon (talk) 22:21, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Kept & made more specific. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:54, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What do republics have to do with Perl? :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 01:36, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - the nominator's question would be better posed to Larry Wall. Meanwhile, this phrase appears both in the Perl logo and in the body of the target. Bridgeplayer (talk) 17:46, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Bridgeplayer, and perhaps target directly to the section where the phrase is mentioned: Perl#The camel symbol. -- Black Falcon (talk) 22:23, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Pp-editwar

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was Deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 23:27, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Little to no incoming links or page view stats to warrant this template redirect. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 01:50, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. No incoming links, very few pageviews (less than 15 per month), and no essential page history (the target page was created earlier and nothing appears to have been merged). -- Black Falcon (talk) 22:28, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

User:Addhoc/monobook.js

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was Kept. Not causing harm & user doesn't wish them deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 23:31, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

User renamed, no longer any need for any of these. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 01:50, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think this should be up to PhilKnight (if, of course, User:Addhoc is now a doppelgänger account and not some other user), and I have notified him of this discussion. Also, none of the pages are tagged (I'd recommend not tagging them at this stage now that PhilKnight has been made aware). If Addhoc is a doppelgänger, then I think it should be up to PhilKnight to decide; if it is not, then control of the account probably should be transferred to PhilKnight. -- Black Falcon (talk) 22:43, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks to Black Falcon for notifying me of this discussion. I created Addhoc (talk · contribs) purely to prevent impersonation. I don't see any benefit in deleting any of these redirects, but I don't object either. PhilKnight (talk) 00:19, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
