Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 April 20

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 as basic housekeeping. The original declination of speedy deletion for this redirect was a triumph of nitpicking over common sense. If you want to take this decision to DRV I won't stand in your way, but I really think we have better ways to spend our time. — Scott • talk 16:13, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Sunnyhillselementary → Issaquah School District (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

This is otherwise speedy-deletable under WP:CSD#R3. However, what happened was, this page was nominated for deletion at this title, then moved to Sunny Hills Elementary school one minute later. The article was ultimately redirected at AfD. The CSD was declined due to this technicality. Propose deletion as an implausible redirect.

• Delete per Mz7. WP:COMMONSENSE comes in to play here and I don't understand why the CSD was declined. We're not in the business of being jobsworths but of making a better encyclopaedia. Si Trew (talk) 04:35, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete if the article were are Sunny Hills Elementary or Sunny Hills Elementary school then this would not be a CSD-R3 candidate (G7 though would have been absolutely fine, and G6 possibly so). Given that that title remains as a perfectly good redirect, and that it has now existed for the best part of a month then I can find no fault in the declining of an R3 speedy deletion for this title, nor can I even come close to endorsing the "jobsworth" epithet used by SiTrew. R3 is a time-limited criterion, and all CSD criteria must be interpreted narrowly based on the letter of the rules, so while "recent" and "implausible" are not defined, if there is doubt that either condition applies then it is not eligible for speedy deletion. That said I do not think that this is a useful redirect, and so I am recommending deletion - but only after the full listing period. Thryduulf (talk) 10:54, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  It would seem to me, Thryduulf, that if someone proposes a CSD but happens to put it in the wrong category, then to decline it on that basis is detrimental to improving the encyclopaedia. Nevertheless, I was not criticising the individual administrator, and I don't even know how it was, but simply that things require judgment (and I get things wrong often enough). If that administrator felt I was criticising them personally, I absolutely completely apologise for that. I was simply making the point that we need to exercise judgement rather than strictly following rules: WP:IAR essentially. I expressed myself very badly and for that I apologise.

• Delete as per above. It is unlikely that some one would search for such a name without spaces. -- Fauzan^{✆ talk} _{✉ email} 11:17, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
