• Fine Life → Debby Ryan (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

A rumored, never confirmed album title for Debby Ryan's debut album, that has yet to materialize. QuasyBoy 22:23, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete could easily mean the high life, or the rich life. 70.24.244.198 (talk) 06:12, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep So long as it's a possible title for the album and there's no other article which could plausibly be the intended target, I don't think this does any harm. – hysteria18 (talk) 16:00, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• List of banks of the United States of America → Banking in the United States (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

No such list exists in the target. Nor is there any reason to. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 20:48, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• This page has history going back for years. It used to be the list of banks. It was a monstrous and unmaintainable list. The effort to build the page was finally shut down and turned into a redirect because there was reasonable consensus that the page was unworkable. The page can't be deleted, however, because of the liklihood that content was used in other pages. For compliance with GFDL and CC-BY-SA, the conservative approach is to keep the pagehistory. Hiding it behind a redirect like this seems entirely reasonable to me. The redirect is neither confusing nor harmful and has created no controversy in the almost 4 years it's been a redirect. Keep both for the pagehistory and to avoid link rot.
  Note: I would also be okay with turning this into a cross-namespace redirect to Category:Banks of the United States. I believe some of the content was used to find and tag the articles in that category and that is a list (or at least, a list of lists) that the reader might be looking for.

  • Comment shouldn't it be tagged with {{R from merge}} and {{R unprintworthy}} ? 70.24.244.198 (talk) 06:14, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep due to the page history/merge issue. Furthermore, given the proven difficulty of maintaining a list under this title, the long history of this title's existence, and the fact that someone looking for a list of banks wouldn't be thoroughly unsatisfied by the target article, we'll be better off keeping the redirect than we would either deleting it or restoring the list.

• Howard Wright biplane → Howard Wright 1909 Biplane (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Change to disambiguation page: there are two aircraft this could refer to, the target & the Howard Wright 1910 biplane: I'm not sure if I can simply overwrite the page myself TheLongTone (talk) 19:15, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Infobox musical artist 2 → Template:Infobox musical artist (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

No reason to have a redirect that adds a "2" after the infobox's name. I suggest delete. Magioladitis (talk) 13:07, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. This was because there were once two forms of the template and one supplanted the other.. However, everything has been overwritten properly, so no history will be lost. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 21:26, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Singles infobox → Template:Infobox single (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

It doesn't follow the {{Infobox xxxxx}} scheme. Most likely all Wikipedia editors are now familiar with this scheme and this template will remain unused. Magioladitis (talk) 13:06, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Redirects are cheap. This redirect has plenty of incoming links and transclusions (though not in the mainspace). Don't see how deleting would be beneficial. Jenks24 (talk) 08:07, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Speedily delete all per WP:CSD#G8 (pages dependent on a deleted page). As a normal editorial actions I have created Baliff as a redirect to Bailiff and marked it as a {{R from misspelling}}, others are obviously free to create new redirects at these titles if they know of suitable targets.

• 2$G → Two Dollar Grey (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Delete. Goes to redlink. duffbeerforme (talk) 08:42, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

and

• Speedy-delete all per CSD#G8 (pages dependent on a deleted page) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Two Dollar Grey. No alternative target presents itself. Rossami (talk) 13:36, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
