Please don't damage the encyclopedia
When you over-wrote a redirect with a stub at Passion Killers you removed a navigational link which had existed for 6 years. Please don't do things like that. I've created a dab page and moved the band to Passion Killers (band). Pam D  23:56, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Please don't do things like what? I saw an issue, I boldly addressed it with the tools anons have available to them. If you want people to change behavior, try explaining why that redirect was a good thing in and of itself and what someone like me might have tried instead. No harm was caused that you couldn't address in moments.


 * "Passion Killers" is a generic term that imo ought not direct to a writer that isn't noted for that particular play (he's noted for a lot of other things, but not that specific thing). It shouldn't matter if the redirect has been there 20 years or 20 hours if it's not a useful redirect. At the very least, the redirect should point to the part of the article that actually mentions the play instead of linking to the author without any context.


 * The problem is that for someone who doesn't know wikipedia inside & out, that link comes up tops in a google search for "passion killers group," making it difficult to realize that wikipedia didn't have an article for the band that included members of once-heralded Chumbawamba. PK is at least considered notable by those who mention the band's cover of Cohen's Shipbuilding (song), which is what prompted me to search the wiki for the band's name.


 * I'm not saying that I had the best solution. I am saying that the existing redirect is an issue and that you completely overreacted by referring to my well-intended edit as "damaging" to the encylopedia. Do you equate my edit with vandals, who truly damage the wiki? With people imposing their POV? And even if you thought that, do you truly believe that single redirect was critical to the health of Wikipedia? You could have just fixed it and said, "hey, anon: I see what you tried to do. As a long-time editor, I prefer another solution. Therefore, I restored the six-year old redirect, moved the stub to a new article, and created a DAB page." (And, of course, you'd want to explain what a DAB page is, since you can't assume an anon would know that.)


 * If you plan to work on a crowd-sourced resource, it behooves you to learn to work with the crowd. In other words, be more constructive in your comments and stop attacking those who, at the very worst, had the best of intentions. 75.37.23.157 (talk) 03:41, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Passion Killers (band)


The article Passion Killers (band) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC. Article fails to indicate why this group is relevant, or even whether it ever performed or released anything. This band isn't mentioned at either Boff Whalley or Chumbawamba."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
