Note there were 10 people who voted Redirect and one who voted Delete -- No one wante the article kept as it then existed. I think the redir must be regarded as supported by a clear consensus. DES (talk) 03:41, 28 August 2005 (UTC)


 * A redirect vote is a vote to keep. I no longer purport to decide on disposition of a kept article as this is far better dealt with by discussion or being bold after the VfD, and it's unrealistic to attempt to enforce disposition. It's fine if such a consensus arises as a result of the deletion discussion but that is not the primary aim of a deletion discussion. --Tony Sidaway Talk 05:47, 28 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Actually, a redirect vote is a vote to delete. People who vote 'redirect' think the article's content is discardable. Whether the article is actually deleted or simply replaced with a redir is irrelevant; it's content does not remain visible to the average user. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 09:12, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

That is simply incorrect. A redirect keeps everything about the article, every single part of it. Absolutely no deletion occurs. The average user can see the entire history, so I have no idea what you mean by saying that the content does not remain visible to him. --Tony Sidaway Talk 09:23, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * You can argue semantics all day but that doesn't make you any less wrong. The average user doesn't use the history button, nor the "redirected from " indicator. WP:NOT a bureaucracy, so stop trying to make it one. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 09:38, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

I'm not arguing semantics, I've explained to you fully and completely that redirection is in no manner any kind of deletion. Nothing is deleted. One revert is all that is required to expose an earlier version; ia redirected article differs in no sense at all, semantic or otherwise, from one that has not been redirected, and it bears absolutely no resemblance, semantic or otherwise, to a deleted article. I notice that you've actually taken to editing the Guide to VfD in order to make it support your point of view. That is utterly beneath contempt. --Tony Sidaway Talk 10:08, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
