Redirects for discussion (RfD) is the place where potentially problematic redirects are discussed. Items usually stay listed for a week or so, after which they are deleted, kept, or retargeted.

  • If you want to replace an unprotected redirect with an article, do not list it here. Turning redirects into articles is wholly encouraged. Be bold!
  • If you want to move a page but a redirect is in the way, do not list it here. For non-controversial cases, place a technical request; if a discussion is required, then start a requested move.
  • If you think a redirect points to the wrong target article, this is a good place to discuss the proper target.
  • Redirects should not be deleted just because they have no incoming links. Please do not use this as the only reason to delete a redirect. However, redirects that do have incoming links are sometimes deleted, so that is not a sufficient condition for keeping. (See § When should we delete a redirect? for more information.)

Please do not unilaterally rename or change the target of a redirect while it is under discussion. This adds unnecessary complication to the discussion for participants and closers.

Before listing a redirect for discussion

Please be aware of these general policies, which apply here as elsewhere:

The guiding principles of RfD

Shortcut
  • The purpose of a good redirect is to eliminate the possibility that readers will find themselves staring blankly at "Search results 1–10 out of 378" instead of the article they were looking for. If someone could plausibly enter the redirect's name when searching for the target article, it's a good redirect.
  • Redirects are cheap. They take up little storage space and use very little bandwidth. It doesn't really hurt things if there are a few of them scattered around. On the flip side, deleting redirects is also cheap because recording the deletion takes up little storage space and uses very little bandwidth. There is no harm in deleting problematic redirects.
  • If a good-faith RfD nomination proposes to delete a redirect and has no discussion after at least 7 days, the default result is delete.
  • Redirects nominated in contravention of Misplaced Pages:Redirect will be speedily kept.
  • RfD can also serve as a central discussion forum for debates about which page a redirect should target. In cases where retargeting the redirect could be considered controversial, it is advisable to leave a notice on the talk page of the redirect's current target page or the proposed target page to refer readers to the redirect's nomination to allow input and help form consensus for the redirect's target.
  • Requests for deletion of redirects from one page's talk page to another's do not need to be listed here. Anyone can remove the redirect by blanking the page. The G6 criterion for speedy deletion may be appropriate.
  • In discussions, always ask yourself whether or not a redirect would be helpful to the reader.

When should we delete a redirect?

This page is transcluded from Misplaced Pages:Redirect/Deletion reasons. (edit | history)

Shortcuts

Further information: Misplaced Pages:Redirects for discussion/Common outcomes and Misplaced Pages:Moving a page § Moving over a redirect

The major reasons why deletion of redirects is harmful are:

  • a redirect may contain non-trivial edit history;
  • if a redirect is reasonably old (or is the result of moving a page that has been there for quite some time), then it is possible that its deletion will break incoming links (such links coming from older revisions of Misplaced Pages pages, from edit summaries, from other Wikimedia projects or from elsewhere on the internet, do not show up in "What links here").

Therefore consider the deletion only of either harmful redirects or of recent ones.

Reasons for deleting

Shortcut See also: Misplaced Pages:Criteria for speedy deletion § Redirects

You might want to delete a redirect if one or more of the following conditions is met (but note also the exceptions listed below this list):

  1. The redirect page makes it unreasonably difficult for users to locate similarly named articles via the search engine. For example, if the user searches for "New Articles", and is redirected to a disambiguation page for "Articles", it would take much longer to get to the newly added articles on Misplaced Pages.
  2. The redirect might cause confusion. For example, if "Adam B. Smith" was redirected to "Andrew B. Smith", because Andrew was accidentally called Adam in one source, this could cause confusion with the article on Adam Smith, so the redirect should be deleted.
  3. The redirect is offensive or abusive, such as redirecting "Joe Bloggs is a Loser" to "Joe Bloggs" (unless "Joe Bloggs is a Loser" is legitimately discussed in the article), or "Joe Bloggs" to "Loser". (Speedy deletion criterion G10 and G3 may apply.) See also § Neutrality of redirects.
  4. The redirect constitutes self-promotion or spam. (Speedy deletion criterion G11 may apply.)
  5. The redirect makes no sense, such as redirecting "Apple" to "Orange". (Speedy deletion criterion G1 may apply.)
  6. It is a cross-namespace redirect out of article space, such as one pointing into the User or Misplaced Pages namespace. The major exception to this rule are the pseudo-namespace shortcut redirects, which technically are in the main article space. Some long-standing cross-namespace redirects are also kept because of their long-standing history and potential usefulness. "MOS:" redirects, for example, were an exception to this rule until they became their own namespace in 2024. (Note also the existence of namespace aliases such as WP:. Speedy deletion criterion R2 may apply if the target namespace is something other than Category:, Template:, Misplaced Pages:, Help:, or Portal:.)
  7. If the redirect is broken, meaning it redirects to an article that does not exist, it can be immediately deleted under speedy deletion criterion G8. You should check that there is not an alternative place it could be appropriately redirected to first and that it has not become broken through vandalism.
  8. If the redirect is a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name that is not mentioned in the target, it is unlikely to be useful. In particular, redirects in a language other than English to a page whose subject is unrelated to that language (or a culture that speaks that language) should generally not be created. (Implausible typos or misnomers are candidates for speedy deletion criterion R3, if recently created.)
  9. If the target article needs to be moved to the redirect title, but the redirect has been edited before and has a history of its own, then the title needs to be freed up to make way for the move. If the move is uncontroversial, tag the redirect for G6 speedy deletion, or alternatively (with the suppressredirect user right; available to page movers and admins), perform a round-robin move. If not, take the article to Requested moves.
  10. Shortcut If the redirect could plausibly be expanded into an article, and the target article contains virtually no information on the subject.

Reasons for not deleting

Shortcut

However, avoid deleting such redirects if:

  1. They have a potentially useful page history, or an edit history that should be kept to comply with the licensing requirements for a merge (see Misplaced Pages:Merge and delete). On the other hand, if the redirect was created by renaming a page with that name, and the page history just mentions the renaming, and for one of the reasons above you want to delete the page, copy the page history to the Talk page of the article it redirects to. The act of renaming is useful page history, and even more so if there has been discussion on the page name.
  2. They would aid accidental linking and make the creation of duplicate articles less likely, whether by redirecting a plural to a singular, by redirecting a frequent misspelling to a correct spelling, by redirecting a misnomer to a correct term, by redirecting to a synonym, etc. In other words, redirects with no incoming links are not candidates for deletion on those grounds because they are of benefit to the browsing user. Some extra vigilance by editors will be required to minimize the occurrence of those frequent misspellings in article text because the linkified misspellings will not appear as broken links; consider tagging the redirect with the {{R from misspelling}} template to assist editors in monitoring these misspellings.
  3. They aid searches on certain terms. For example, users who might see the "Keystone State" mentioned somewhere but do not know what that refers to will be able to find out at the Pennsylvania (target) article.
  4. Deleting redirects runs the risk of breaking incoming or internal links. For example, redirects resulting from page moves should not normally be deleted without good reason. Links that have existed for a significant length of time, including CamelCase links (e.g. WolVes) and old subpage links, should be left alone in case there are any existing links on external pages pointing to them. See also Misplaced Pages:Link rot § Link rot on non-Wikimedia sites.
  5. Someone finds them useful. Hint: If someone says they find a redirect useful, they probably do. You might not find it useful—this is not because the other person is being untruthful, but because you browse Misplaced Pages in different ways. Evidence of usage can be gauged by using the wikishark or pageviews tool on the redirect to see the number of views it gets.
  6. The redirect is to a closely related word form, such as a plural form to a singular form.

Neutrality of redirects

Shortcut

Just as article titles using non-neutral language are permitted in some circumstances, so are such redirects. Because redirects are less visible to readers, more latitude is allowed in their names, therefore perceived lack of neutrality in redirect names is not a sufficient reason for their deletion. In most cases, non-neutral but verifiable redirects should point to neutrally titled articles about the subject of the term. Non-neutral redirects may be tagged with {{R from non-neutral name}}.

Non-neutral redirects are commonly created for three reasons:

  1. Articles that are created using non-neutral titles are routinely moved to a new neutral title, which leaves behind the old non-neutral title as a working redirect (e.g. Climategate → Climatic Research Unit email controversy).
  2. Articles created as POV forks may be deleted and replaced by a redirect pointing towards the article from which the fork originated (e.g. Barack Obama Muslim rumor → deleted and now redirected to Barack Obama religion conspiracy theories).
  3. The subject matter of articles may be represented by some sources outside Misplaced Pages in non-neutral terms. Such terms are generally avoided in Misplaced Pages article titles, per the words to avoid guidelines and the general neutral point of view policy. For instance the non-neutral expression "Attorneygate" is used to redirect to the neutrally titled Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy. The article in question has never used that title, but the redirect was created to provide an alternative means of reaching it because a number of press reports use the term.

The exceptions to this rule would be redirects that are not established terms and are unlikely to be useful, and therefore may be nominated for deletion, perhaps under deletion reason #3. However, if a redirect represents an established term that is used in multiple mainstream reliable sources, it should be kept even if non-neutral, as it will facilitate searches on such terms. Please keep in mind that RfD is not the place to resolve most editorial disputes.

Closing notes

Details at Administrator instructions for RfD

Nominations should remain open, per policy, about a week before they are closed, unless they meet the general criteria for speedy deletion, the criteria for speedy deletion of a redirect, or are not valid redirect discussion requests (e.g. are actually move requests).

How to list a redirect for discussion

Shortcut
STEP I. Tag the redirect(s).

  Enter {{subst:rfd|content= at the very beginning of the redirect page you are listing for discussion and enter }} at the very end of the page.

Does this look too complicated?
Try this semi-automated process instead: (note only confirmed users can use this)
  1. Enable Twinkle in the Gadgets tab of your preferences.
  2. Go back to the redirect page, and choose "XFD" from the new Twinkle menu.
  3. Fill in the form and submit it.
  • Please do not mark the edit as minor (m).
  • Please include in the edit summary the phrase:
    Nominated for RfD: see ].
  • Save the page ("Publish changes").
  • If you are unable to edit the redirect page because of protection, this step can be omitted, and after step 2 is completed, a request to add the RFD template can be put on the redirect's talk page.
  • If the redirect you are nominating is in template namespace, consider adding |showontransclusion=1 to the RfD tag so that people using the template redirect are aware of the nomination.
  • If you are nominating multiple redirects as a group, repeat all the above steps for each redirect being nominated.
STEP II. List the entry on RfD.

 Click here to edit the section of RfD for today's entries.

  • Enter this text below the date heading:
{{subst:Rfd2|redirect=RedirectName|target=TargetArticle|text=The action you would like to occur (deletion, re-targeting, etc.) and the rationale for that action.}} ~~~~
  • For this template:
    • Put the redirect's name in place of RedirectName, put the target article's name in place of TargetArticle, and include a reason after text=.
    • Note that, for this step, the "target article" is the current target of the redirect (if you have a suggestion for a better target, include this in the text that you insert after text=).
  • Please use an edit summary such as:
    Nominating ]
    (replacing RedirectName with the name of the redirect you are nominating).
  • To list multiple related redirects for discussion, use the following syntax. Repeat line 2 for N number of redirects:
{{subst:Rfd2|redirect=RedirectName1|target=TargetArticle1}}
{{subst:Rfd2|multi=yes|redirect=RedirectName2|target=TargetArticle2}}
{{subst:Rfd2|multi=yes|redirect=RedirectNameN|target=TargetArticleN|text=The actions you would like to occur (deletion, re-targeting, etc.) and the rationale for those actions.}} ~~~~
  • If the redirect has had previous RfDs, you can add {{Oldrfdlist|previous RfD without brackets|result of previous RfD}} directly after the rfd2 template.
  • If appropriate, inform members of the most relevant WikiProjects through one or more "deletion sorting lists". Then add a {{subst:delsort|<topic>|<signature>}} template to the nomination, to insert a note that this has been done.
STEP III. Notify users.

  It is generally considered good practice to notify the creator and main contributors of the redirect(s) that you nominate.

To find the main contributors, look in the page history of the respective redirect(s). For convenience, the template

{{subst:Rfd notice|RedirectName}} ~~~~

may be placed on the creator/main contributors' user talk page to provide notice of the discussion. Please replace RedirectName with the name of the respective creator/main contributors' redirect and use an edit summary such as:
Notice of redirect discussion at ]

Notices about the RfD discussion may also be left on relevant talk pages.

  • Please consider using What links here to locate other redirects that may be related to the one you are nominating. After going to the redirect target page and selecting "What links here" in the toolbox on the left side of your computer screen, select both "Hide transclusions" and "Hide links" filters to display the redirects to the redirect target page.

Current list

June 26

C:WPCVG → CAT:WPCVG

New (2006-06-12) cross-namespace redirect moved to CAT:WPCVG, common style is Special:Prefixindex/CAT:, see also m:Help:Namespace manager. -- Omniplex 05:12, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

The nominated redirect was speedily deleted as attack. Kusma (討論) 05:13, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Giant douche → George W. Bush

This redirect only points to George W. Bush and previously pointed to John Kerry. Silly and pointless either way it originally pointed. Basically its an offensive redirect. Kevin_b_er 05:06, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.

C:UBT → CAT:UBT

New (2006-06-17) cross-namespace redirect moved to CAT:UBT, common style is Special:Prefixindex/CAT:, see also m:Help:Namespace manager. -- Omniplex 05:01, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Sorry for being dense, but what exactly in m:Help:Namespace manager says that we shouldn't have C: shortcuts? Why do we even use CAT: instead of the shorter C:? Kusma (討論) 05:07, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
  • I think it says that "pseudo-namespaces" (like WP: or WM:) might be transformed into real namespaces. I can't tell you more about it, all I know is that help page, and from my POV Special:Namespaces is either invisible, or not (yet) enabled. No idea who invented CAT:CAT, check the history. It got some traction, see the "Prefixindex" link. Belatedly adding C: would only confuse it more than necessary, one vs. three characters is no huge gain. CAT for category could be also slightly more obvious than C for somebody who doesn't know it. -- Omniplex 05:23, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

June 25

Doweld → List of botanists by author abbreviation

Redirect would have its merit if there was actually such an entry in the list. Otherwise, if the linker/crator cannot be bothered to check the proper botanist, the redirectshould not exist. Circeus 01:43, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Louisville Communist Journal → The Courier-Journal

Not a plausible search term (if anyone actually does call the paper this, I really doubt they'd ever search for the nickname over the paper's real name). Seems to exist just to disparage the article it redirects to, see recent POV insertions into that article, which mention this phrase . W.marsh 23:15, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

C:CSD → CAT:CSD

redundant cross-namespace redirect, common style is CAT:, technical background at m:Help:Namespace manager -- Omniplex 19:56, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

"augustus greely" → Adolphus Greely

really unuseful title (was stub), article since moved twice Zigger «º» 07:52, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

The nominated redirect was deleted per previous RFD (Jan 2006) — sjorford++ 10:46, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Ugly bags of mostly water → Human

umm... yeah. i was checking "what links here" and this stuck out as rather odd.

This has already been deleted once, so I've speedied it. — sjorford++ 10:46, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

The most annoying thing in the world → Crazy Frog

Yes it is annoying, but not that annoying. This redirect represents someone's non-neutral point of view. Omphaloscope » talk 08:35, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep; "The most annoying thing in the world" was actually the former name of the crazy frog, before it became a ringtone. smurrayinchester 08:44, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Smurrayinchester. As a side note, if you look at the beginning of the music video (approx 11th second to 17th second) you will see WANTED - the most annoying thing in the world. TheJC Contributions 09:11, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
The nominated redirect was deleted by KimvdLinde, per Mboverload/Digitalme's request. ~ PseudoSudo 23:18, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

WP:0FA → User:Mboverload/Zero Featured Article, WP:*FA → User:Digitalme/Any Featured Article

WP redirects pointing to userspace essays; see WP:1FA's RFD. ~ PseudoSudo 22:01, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Delete, sure, I see.--digital_me 22:49, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

The nominated redirect was Converted to disambig until an actual article written. -- JLaTondre 17:13, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Autopista → Autopistas de Puerto Rico

Autopistas are found in others countries, including Spain. Autopista really deserves its own article, but until it has one, redirecting to a list of only Puerto Rican ones would be confusing. smurrayinchester 10:03, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.

Devarajan/Filmography → Filmography of G. Devarajan

together with G. Devarajan/Filmography these are pointless and undesirable redirects left over after I moved the page to a more policy complient title. Eluchil404 03:47, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

BATTLE OF HALDIGHAT → Battle of Haldighat

Doesn't quite meet CSD R3, but I think it's unnecessary and implausible. –Dicty (T/C) 12:49, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

The nominated redirect was Deleted by EWS23. -- JLaTondre 22:25, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

James Brady (disambiguation) (disambiguation) → James Brady (disambiguation)

Nobody is going to type "(disambiguation) (disambiguation)" in the search box. —EdGl 18:52, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

The nominated redirect was speedy delete per WP:ASR. Cross-namespace, reposted redirect with no incoming links. AmiDaniel (talk) 22:02, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Articles for deletion → Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion

Self-referential cross-namespace redirect. Deleted by Cyde (talk • contribs) on 15 June 2006, recreated by Calsicol (talk • contribs) on 22 June 2006. There was one incoming link, which I have now changed to point directly to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion – Gurch 14:01, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

The nominated redirect was Deleted by Jimfbleak. -- JLaTondre 11:41, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Plant Vagina → Flower

Not a term one would use to find "flower"; nor is it biologically accurate. Flowers contain both male and female organs; and platns have nothing resembling a penis or a vagina. Looks like someone being naughty to me. If anyone with better biological knowledge than I thinks this is appropriate, though, I'll quickly change my mind. EngineerScotty 05:52, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Cross namespace redirect Yanksox 05:09, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

June 22

Aetherometry → Aether theories

Aetherometry isn't mentioned at all on the Aether theories page, and it is very different from the theories discussed there. It doesn't really have too much in common with aether theories at all, concentrating more on things like leukemia early warning kits and measurements with no uncertainty. Philosophus 21:07, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Pearland JROTC → George W. Bush

No apparent connection, former target was deleted, see Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Pearland Army JROTC. Rory096 08:22, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Path integral → Talk:Line integral

Path integral has been rewritten as a disambig, so this seems unnecessary. (I reverted blanking of the redirect, as I feel that it would be better if it were deleted entirely, and it's better discussed as an RfD than an MfD.) — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 00:34, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Swirl → Swirl (band)

Since the addition of the swirl (organization) page there are now two swirl pages. I'm thinking that the Swirl redirect shouldn't direct to just one of them because if you search for swirl meaning to find the organization you won't be able to find it. Rugadh 21:32, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Schlong → Penis

I don't beleive that this should be deleted, as it is conceivable that someone might search "Schlong" on Misplaced Pages; however, the {{rfd}} tag was placed on it by 194.66.185.193 at 10:29 on 19 June 2006, so I feel duty-bound to list it here.

The Monopoly template was just a copy of the London game board layout of the board game Monopoly, copied from the Monopoly (game) page.

Bartholomew (Spyro charcacter) → Bentley (Spyro character)

Typo by the Wikipedian creating the article. Actual article was Bartholomew (Spyro character), which has since been merged into Bentley (Spyro character) for lack of notability. No further edit history or apparent internal links to the old redirect. Stratadrake 12:56, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Clarifying: I've already merged the Bartholomew article's info into the article for Bentley and changed the old article (Bartholomew (Spyro character)) into a redirect. That was when I noticed the redirect in question, Bartholomew (Spyro charcacter). --Stratadrake 00:24, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Protologism → Misplaced Pages:Avoid neologisms

There's a bit of history here. Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Protologism was closed as delete on 23 March this year. The article was recreated as a redirect a couple of days later, and the redirect was listed here immediately. The RfD did not lead to a consensus, so when I closed it I decided to make the article a soft redirect to wikt:protologism, which I judged to be a good compromise between the various positions taken at the RfD debate (see Misplaced Pages:Redirects for deletion/Redirect Archives/March 2006#March 27). However, this soft redirect did not last long. I'm bringing the redirect up again in the hope that we now do manage to get a consensus.

Personally, I think cross-namespace redirects are to be avoided. I don't think this one is useful enough that it merits ignoring the rule. Thus, delete. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 14:15, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

"Road safety" → Road-traffic safety

I don't think we need to retain redirects that are quotated terms such as this; its not a likely search or direct URL-use term nor would I anticipate uses in the context of articles to require retention of the quotated redirect (there is a single such use now, Seat belt legislation, which I will leave intact pending resolution of this discussion.

Keith Richard → Keith Richards

Currently it redirects to Rolling Stones guitarist, while there is a notable footballer with exactly this name. MaxSem 17:13, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Nomination withdrawn since it looks like that there were no Keith Richard the footballer. MaxSem 16:34, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keith Richards was known as Keith Richard in his early days. If there is another Keith Richard, then this should be turned into a disambig page. I would do that except that a quick Google search on Keith Richard or Keith Richard football didn't produce any hits that stood out to me. Can you provide more details? -- JLaTondre 17:51, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
See 1958 FIFA World Cup (squads). MaxSem 19:27, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
Just to confuse matters further, FIFA suggests the footballer was actually Richard Keith (which is a redirect to somebody else again :) — sjorford++ 20:34, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
This site (have to expand next to last arrow) also shows his name as Richard Keith. It looks like 1958 FIFA World Cup (squads) should be changed to Richard Keith and Richard Keith changed to a disambig. If there is no disagreement, I'll do that. -- JLaTondre 22:48, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
Absolutely. MaxSem 16:34, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Revise as follows ... If there is a person who is notable enough for an article who goes by the name 'Keith Richard', that article should be entitled 'Keith Richard' and a {{Distinguish}} template used to point at the Keith Richards article (I don't think a reciprocal one would be necessary). If there is not a person who is sufficiently notable for inclusion who is named 'Keith Richard', keep the redirect and tag it with {{R from alternate name}}, as long as the note that 'Richard' was 'Richards' former name is included in the article; if it turns out that this name change did not take place, then tag it with {{R from misspelling}}. In addition, perhaps a {{Distinguish}} template should be added to Keith Richards pointing at Richard Keith, but that might be unnecessary. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:18, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Frank bennett → Frank Bennett

Same as below. Personally I'll be more careful creating articles, but I'm not sure I understand the procedure for capitalization redirects (it seems below that this type of request for deletion is generally denied). I'd imagine that many users don't use any capitalization in searches, and thus an intermediate redirect would be sort of pointless. Inarcadiaego 16:49, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep The first letter is automatically capitalized, so if someone entered 'frank bennett' as a search term, it would give you the first article. Cowman109 17:53, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete unneeded redirect as "frank benett" will go directly to "Frank Bennett" without this, and with it simply uses a redirect. (Mixed captialasation issues in WP:REDIRECT do not apply for this as they did for the CoES (below) (This redirect was up for afd, which I closed as a speedy close) Regards, MartinRe 21:29, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as "frank benett" will not go to "Frank Bennett" when it's typed into the address bar (i.e. http://en.wikipedia.org/Frank_bennett). Not everyone uses the go button and since it's already created, there's no need to delete. Redirects are cheap. -- JLaTondre 22:54, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
    • I understand what you're saying, but do enough people search for articles by typing in the address bar that it's worth it to keep a redirect that we all seem to agree is pointless (and unnecessary according to WP:REDIRECT and MartinRe's comment)? I don't think (m)any other similar titles have redirects on here. Inarcadiaego 01:48, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
      • Some do, some don't. john smith does, for example. Having the redirect allows entry from the title bar, and lower case wiki-links, but also uses a redirct if typed from the go bar. nothing significant either way, I wouldn't create one, but I also wouldn't rfd one if I found one. But as it was rfd'd I lean towards delete, as while redirects are cheap, doing lots of unneeded cheap things can mount up. Regards, MartinRe 11:22, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and tag with {{R from other capitalisation}}. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:20, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Although unlikely, this redirect is not confusing or offensive in any manner, and redirects are cheap. Grandmasterka 05:45, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Acucullophallia → Circumcision

Made-up term does not exist in any dictionary, save dubious 'web dictionaries' Jakew 13:39, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

  • After looking at websites I never want to see again, it's a slang term meaning sexual arousal by circumcison. :\ It probably should be deleted'. And if notable, gain a page. Yanksox 05:05, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above - not a sensible redirect. PJM 05:11, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. Lose the extra weight, it's not needed... Shenme 19:31, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per User:Dabljuh/teusp and discussion at Talk:Circumcision. — Scm83x 20:08, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. The word appears in at least one well-known printed book (cited at circumcision, unless Jakew has recently culled it). Also, note that above there seems to have been some confusion between acucullophallia (the redirect page) and acucullophilia, a different word which means "sexual arousal by circumcision." Acucullophallia means "the state of being circumcised", so the redirect is quite sensible. Further, the redirect seems to be needed, as it was created as a requested article. Wizard @ 07:07, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep Both web and print citations show that the word exists and is a synonym for "circumcised". The hostility towards this term stems from confusion with "acucullophilia", which refers to a fetish for circumcised men. This confusion has been cleared up on the circumcision page, which now briefly mentions both terms in the lead. Of course, this mention is further reason to keep the redirect. Al 14:18, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Actually, the 'hostility' stems from no such thing - there's no indication that there is or was any confusion between the two. The objection to the term is as stated - that no definition can be found in any credible dictionary (the term is mentioned in passing in one book, but is not defined). So we are left with the situation that we have no reliable source telling us what it means - hence it should not be included. Jakew 15:54, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
      • Unfortunately, this is simply false. We know exactly what it means and there is no doubt whatsoever on this issue. Worse, you know it's false, so this appears to be intentional deception. Al 16:26, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
        • If there is no doubt as to what it means, then why are you unable to cite a WP:RS giving a definition? Why do you insist instead upon citing a 'source' to support the claimed definition that does not even define the term? Jakew 16:32, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
      • I listed three on the talk page. Your response, of course, is to deny that they're WP:RS and then to ignore the etymology on top of that. This is not an honest response. Al 18:48, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
        • I agree - I did indeed state that they were not reliable sources. Furthermore, the theory of the etymology is original research (partly my own), and cannot therefore be included. Finally, please review WP:CIVIL and WP:FAITH. Accusing me of dishonesty is unacceptable behaviour, whether you agree with my views or not. Jakew 18:58, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
      • Whatever. There is clearly no consensus for deletion, so I'm not going to debate this further. Al 23:10, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

No. Kepone is not a toxin. This redirect is activly harmful, because it claims that kepone is a toxin. The redirect should be deleted and the page protected to prevent recreation. Polonium 23:20, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, the toxin article says people use the word to describe all poisons, whether they be organic or synthetic. If some people think that should be discouraged, I think the redirect (which deletes an occurrence of "toxin") actually helps in this case. --KJ 02:06, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
So we should delete Dubya to discourage references to Bush as Dubya? Terminological errors like these are the reason we have redirects. Saying this title endorses the categorisation of Kepone as a toxin is like saying the existence of Dubya endorses calling Bush by that nickname or that the existence of misspelling redirects endorse the misspelling of certain names.

Kady Goldlist → ONE Family Fund

A bit of a mess. The creation of the redirect was a result of an AFD, but in hindsight there seems no benefit (indeed, no rhyme or reason) to the redirect since Ms Goldlist is not mentioned in the article (and seems not notable enough to be added). The redirect has already been blanked once by another contributor (I found it as an empty page). Arguably the AFD's "merge" consensus has been satisfied, because one of the external links on the ONE Family Fund article has a reference to Kady Goldlist as a donor.
