Discussion
Regarding db-talk, I note that CSD has very broad exceptions, including "deletion discussions that are not logged elsewhere" and "talk page archives". How is your bot going to determine if a talk page is actually deletable under G8?

Regarding db-r2, I'm not clear on what you intend to do. It sounds like you are intending to place db-r2 on redirects from one talk page to another that are left after a move. However, CSD applies to cross-namespace redirects from article space, not redirects from one talk page to another, so that would make no sense. Anomie⚔ 18:37, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
