The result of the discussion was Speedy Delete, G7 by Smerdis of Tlön. Lenticel (talk) 01:24, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominated at AFD with rationale of "Currently redirects to moral panic, but public outcry does not necessarily constitute a moral panic." Moving to proper venue. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:56, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I think I came across this redlink quite some time ago, and in the context it seemed like it was talking about a moral panic, so I redirected it. May not have been a good idea in retrospect, but this was 2003. "Public outcry" might support an article, or at least a disambiguation page, but I'd have to do some brainstorming to figure out what else might be disambiguated there. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 21:12, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as nom who wasn't previously aware of RfD. Let's face it, "moral panic" is a bit POV. It's well established enough in scholarly usage that we shouldn't worry about renaming it, but that does mean it has connotations that aren't readily ascribed to public outcry as such. In short, public outcry isn't necessarily panic and doesn't necessarily have anything to do with morality. --BDD (talk) 15:34, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Deleted. I agree. Speedily deleted per WP:CSD#G7. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 06:12, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Dabify. Ruslik_Zero 19:10, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed seven other pages containing "Shigematsu" in the title. Don't see why this one should have the honors...

  • Dabify (taking into consideration complexities regarding Japanese names) per nom. – hysteria18 (talk) 23:43, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Convert to disambiguation- done. A412 (Talk • C) 00:20, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Kristina Abernathy (meteorologist)

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 Delete. The article only mentions him in passing and the redirect in the current form is confusing as Abernathy is not employed by the Channel any more. Ruslik_Zero 19:17, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The redirect for Kristina Abernathy points to The Weather Channel article. Abernathy has not been employed by The Weather Channel since 2009. Furthermore, Abernathy is not a prominent topic on The Weather Channel article. At the very minimum the redirect should be removed. A discussion could commence whether or not Abernathy meets WP:BIO. ChadH (talk) 16:36, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Redirects like this are often created when there isn't enough sources or data to establish notability for a stand alone article. Her only claim to fame is that she read the weather on the Weather Channel. A stub was created for her, and later redirected. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 05:37, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • That (Weather Channel employment) does not meet WP:ANYBIO and would meet WP:SD A1. ChadH (talk) 17:45, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Actually, WP:ANYBIO is for articles- this is a redirect, notability for people does not apply here. Although, I don't mind it being removed, as the destination article does not mention her. A412 (Talk • C) 00:24, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Question So you want to keep a redirect to an article that no longer has relevance to the redirect's subject? WP:ANYBIO does matter in this case because if we remove the redirect, we need to know if the person (Kristina Abernathy in this case) can stand on its own, even as a stub. My reply to User:Ihcoyc is that it would not given WP:ANYBIO. In closing if we remove the redirect, we need to speedy delete because she does not meet WP:ANYBIO.

  • You're going to have to be a great deal more specific in your nomination. Exactly how do you think this redirect violate Wikipedia's notability standards? Rossami (talk) 03:03, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and/or expand into an article per point 10 of WP:R#DELETE. She appears to be notable in her own right: [1], [2], [3]. – hysteria18 (talk) 17:45, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
