• Asters → Aster (genus) (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

I would like to move Asters (Schevchenko, Didkovsky and Partners) here and stick a hatnote on the article re: Aster (genus). Nikthestoned 11:36, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• A Google search shows "Asters" is more likely to refer to the plant. I do think it would be appropriate to add a hatnote to Aster (genus): {{Redirect|Asters|the law firm|Asters (Schevchenko, Didkovsky and Partners)}} – Quadell ^(talk) 11:49, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - the present target is the overwhelming prime use. I have added the hatnote to Aster (genus). Bridgeplayer (talk) 13:36, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Slightly off topic but shouldn't Asters (Schevchenko, Didkovsky and Partners) be at something like Asters (law firm) because looking at the article it states that Schevchenko, Didkovsky and Partners was part of the name but was later changed to Asters. I also think that (law firm) would make it clearer to people what the article is about.--76.66.186.54 (talk) 16:58, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree; I thought so as well but forgot to mention it when I commented. Doh! Bridgeplayer (talk) 17:19, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Bridgeplayer.--Lenticel ^(talk) 01:02, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• User:Dchai → Illumina Methylation Assay (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Since when do we have redirects from users to the articles they have written?. (note:the user talk p. shouldn't be deleted--it's a discussion of the person's article) DGG ( talk ) 03:52, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's just a result of a move to mainspace, as per the history. I believe a userpage can simply be a redirect (it's not mentioned in WP:USER, only user talk pages are...) should the user so wish. I've moved the talk page also, The talk should be moved the the article also, this should have been completed when the page was originally moved. Nikthestoned 11:41, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy delete as G6, housekeeping, and tagged as such. The user hasn't been on since he completed the page in February 2009 and I don't believe this was a deliberate decision; the redirect was simply not deleted after the page move. Bridgeplayer (talk) 13:24, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
