"Feku" deletion
Thank you for contacting me about the issue. Allow me to explain the reasoning: I did check the deleted revisions before deleting the redirect in question, and there was a deleted article that explained that this is a Twitter hashtag, or a common nickname, that is used to refer to a specific politician.

However, I deleted the redirect because the article about the politican does not actually have a reference to the nickname at all. Redirects should have some relevance to the target articles, and if the article about the politician had documented the use of the nickname or hashtag through reliable sources, then the redirect would have been justified. Observe, for example, how "Dubya" redirects to "List of nicknames of United States Presidents", which in turn includes a reference to a press reference in "Oklahoma City Journal Record" (and I'm sure more could be found).

This kind of situation probably needs extra care because the nickname is derogatory in nature, and Wikipedia's policies require good references on that kind of things. So please, if you want this to stick in articles, the claim should be demonstrated through reliable references in press. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 16:56, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
