• Season of the Pumpkin (album) → House of Krazees (links to redirect) (stats) 

Page doesn't exist, redirects to band's page Львівське (talk) 21:24, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Redirects of albums to the article covering the band that recorded/released it is standard procedure; this precedent has been repeatedly reinforced by RfDs over the past few years. The redirect can be easily overwritten with/by a standalone article at any time if the new article can demonstrate the notability of the album. B.Wind (talk) 00:55, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. While Season of the Pumpkin should (and does) exist for the reasons B.Wind points out, the "(album)" disambiguator makes this one an unlikely search term and as such an unneeded redirect. Jafeluv (talk) 09:14, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• It Is What It Is → It Is What It Is (ABN album) (links to redirect) (stats) 

Deletion; on the grounds that the redirect serves no purpose. There used to be an article here, which didn't have any sources. It was deleted and turned into a redirect to a page that didn't follow naming conventions and also didn't have sources, which was recently PRODed.

Delete all Redirects like 2009 Malaysian Formula BMW Pacific Round aren't encyclopedic, and redirects like Singapur Grand Prix, 2009 Japanese GP or 2009 Australije grand prix are incorrect with the Grand Prix standard style. --Francesco Betti Sorbelli (talk) 09:58, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Mainstream Chart → Rock Songs (links to redirect) (stats) 

Confusing redirect. There are two charts with Mainstream in the name: Mainstream Rock Tracks and Top 40 Mainstream, both of which are markedly different from each other and Rock Songs. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 01:50, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Wouldn't it be sensible to make Mainstream Chart a disambiguation page that includes all three links? — ξ^xplicit 03:42, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • The problem would be twofold: none of these titles have "Mainstream Chart" in its title, and there is no consensus definition of what makes a "mainstream" music chart, which makes the creation of a possible list article problematic. B.Wind (talk) 00:59, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete these chemistry-related "temporary" redirects. I am not sure if I have all the "temps", being that there are 116 known elements (with one more in dispute), but these were the ones I've found in Wikipedia so far... 147.70.242.54 (talk) 01:25, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've appended Niobium/Temp -- that should be all the Element/Temp redirects. -- ToE^T 23:23, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• History merge, per this edit at cobalt. Probably all the pages need to be treated similarly, and I plan to work on these either later today or tomorrow. Graham87 01:39, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Done up to nitrogen for now. Graham87 09:13, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Retarget to Quantum mind/body problem. This article at least mentions the subject. Ruslik_Zero 08:06, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Consciousness causes collapse → Quantum mysticism (links to redirect) (stats) 

Consciousness causes collapse, a supposed interpretation of quantum mechanics, was previously AFD'd with a consensus to merge to quantum mysticism. While many argue that CCC is an example of "mysticism", the relevant material is no longer in the target article. Given the number of incoming links (from articles that tend to treat CCC as a viable interpretation), the redirect is now uninformative. Another article with information about "consciousness causes collapse" has been created at Quantum mind/body problem. All of these articles seem to be contentious, but something needs to be done about this redirect. Either Delete or Retarget to Quantum mind/body problem. 140.247.103.56 (talk) 01:07, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatively, allow recreation of the article, which should never have been deleted in the first place.Likebox (talk) 01:25, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Consciousness causes collapse for how the redirect got here in the first place. On reconsideration, my preference is to Retarget to Quantum mind/body problem, as long as that article exists. Actually, I'm not sure anyone actually objects to that, but the redirect is full-protected. 140.247.103.56 (talk) 02:23, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I believe that our license requires that the CCC history be kept as long as the relevant material is in the history as having been merged to QM, even if subsequent editing removes it or changes it beyond recognition. The matter of targeting the redirect is being discussed here, here, and a little bit here. As nobody is arguing for outright deletion, just retargeting, can we speedy close this? - 2/0 (cont.) 15:47, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

While deletion appears not to be the issue anymore, we still have a discussion on the fate of a fully protected redirect and a proposal to retarget it. Since no retargeting has occurred, the redirect has not been overwritten, and there has been no withdrawal by the nominating editor, this discussion must run its course. WP:Speedy keep does not apply to this right now. B.Wind (talk) 16:00, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I feel it should be directed to Quantum mind, just as Quantum consciousness redirects there as well. The phrase "Consciousness causes collapse" is a central discussion to the metaphysics and theories of people that study that field, including notable professors, such as Dr. Penrose. While there are particular theories based on the subject, the Quantum mind article is broader than just one theory, such as Orch-OR. To redirect CCC to any other place would be uninformative. For example, the opening phrase of quantum mind: "Quantum mind theories are based on the premise that quantum mechanics is necessary to fully understand the mind and brain, particularly concerning an explanation of consciousness." The article's subject is theory that relates to consciousness, mind, and quantum mechanics. If the original authors of CCC and Wigner's interpretation wish, they should cross-link and reference their material in relation to the Quantum mind article, rather than attempt to "bait and switch" through a redirect. Deleting it would be pointless as well, since those interested parties would recreate it or something similiar. --☯Lightbound☯ ^talk 20:44, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all. Another collection of "temporary" redirects whose expiration dates have long passed. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 00:38, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Treat on a case-by-case basis - The fate of some of these redirects is unimportant because they have no significant history or incoming links. But some of them, such as Venus/Temp, have long page histories that could be moved to other places or history merged. In the case of baseball/Temp, which is on my watchlist, it has several incoming links. Deuterostome/Temp was part of a complex history merge I did several months ago, and I'll speedy delete it now; I usually try to delete any "/Temp" pages I create because they usually contain junk revisions, but I obviously forgot about it that time. Graham87 01:58, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete those with trivial history; histmerge the others into another redirect, then delete the "temporary" pages.B.Wind (talk) 04:15, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• I just shuffled the order so that the eight which have never been anything but redirects, and can be safely deleted without further inspection, are at the bottom of the list: Baseball/temp, Nirvana (temp disambiguation), Savin temp, Webcam/Temp, Closeted/Temp, Meglenites(temp), Temp Seastar, Muenster (temp). -- ToE^T 02:38, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Afridi (temp) → Afridi (links to redirect) (stats) 

Delete - a year is an awfully long time for a temporary redirect to exist. Nobody will look for it by this name. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 00:13, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - since the redirect was formed by a move to the current target, no significant history would be lost by the deletion of this temporary page. B.Wind (talk) 16:04, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Ciara's 3rd Album: Untitled → Fantasy Ride (links to redirect) (stats) 

Unlikely search term. The title of the album, Fantasy Ride, was revealed quite some time ago and the album itself was released back in May. No reason to keep this redirect around. — ξ^xplicit 00:03, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Essentially the nomination is asking for the deletion of a temporary redirect. Since Ciara's third album has a title, this name is now redundant and misleading. Deletion is best here. B.Wind (talk) 07:18, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
