The result of the discussion was Delete as unopposed nomination. ~ Amory (utc) 01:11, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion - currently linked from {{Castle class corvette}}, but all other blue links are to articles. I see no point in this redirect, which may actually dissuade an editor from creating an article on the ship in the belief that it already exists. Mjroots (talk) 19:47, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable location within the game. Not mentioned in target article, not suitable for inclusion in target article. As such, it doesn't strike me as aiding readers/users at all, instead only making them believe we hold the relevant information, when infact we don't per our notability policies. Taelus (talk) 18:28, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note bundled these four nominations together as they are all basically the same, each a location within the game which is not mentioned in the target. Thanks, --Taelus (talk) 18:31, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete, not mentioned in the target and potentially confusing for someone who types in one of these terms and then has to figure out for himself why he wound up at a WoW article. These are hardly among the most useless redirects I've seen around here, though, as they would at least indicate which expansion pack these levels belong to.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 20:41, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Only for those who are already somewhat in the know. For some readers, these pointing to a game page with nothing relating to the topic may be confusing. The way I see it, is that there are two ways these redirects may be stumbled upon: Firstly, by a user in the know, who will search the terms, be redirected, and go "Yes they are related to the game... I knew that, but where is the information on the topic?". Secondly, by a user who doesn't know where the exact term is from, who will end up going. "So its a game... But what about this game has anything to do with the thing I typed in?". My personal opinion is that we shouldn't have such redirects, as they mislead readers into assuming we provide content which we do not, and will not due to our policies. A non-existant page will be more likely to help readers by sending them to google to look up the terms, rather than them trying to use the Wikipedia search tool in the hope the information for their search term is hidden away somewhere, and that the redirect they used is broken. --Taelus (talk) 21:46, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect only makes sense for Seinfeld geeks (such as myself). In the article, the joke is only discussed in footnote 10. Very unlikely search term and title of a potential article on the hit song by Little River Band. Pichpich (talk) 12:57, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. - generally seems to be accepted that this quote is famous and iconic enough to warrant a redirect, and that the specific film it appears in is the most appropriate target. ~ mazca talk 19:12, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Sufficiently iconic quote to warrant a redirect, and per both this discussion and the one a few months ago, the specific movie it relates to is felt to be the most appropriate target. ~ mazca talk 19:16, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete, consensus here is that it is too ambiguous to point to one target, and that it is very difficult to retarget. It isn't suitable for disambiguation per the Manual of Style. --Taelus (talk) 15:20, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete if he was already banned when he created the redirect. Otherwise, no comment. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 02:09, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep - I closed the previous RfD of this redirect (a "keep") a mere four weeks ago. This should not have returned here so quickly after the last closure. B.Wind (talk) 17:42, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It was an article renaming mistake on my part, and I think that it is an unlikely search term. If it ever were searched, the actual article would come up anyways. 117Avenue (talk) 00:26, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. We've discussed before the case of redirects from incorrect capitalization, and the fact is that, unless there are two different articles with the same name but different capitalization, you can type any capitalization into the search box (e.g., "lIsT oF aLbErTa SeTtLeMeNtS") and you will be taken to the article. Having redirects from alternative capitalizations is generally counterproductive because they clutter up the search box. Since your redirect was created today, there will be no incoming links from other sites to the wrongly capitalized title.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 21:08, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete as the creator of the redirect nominated it for deletion. Tagging. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 00:20, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
