User:Electionworld/Electionworld


User sub-page that was the target of redirects from an external website called ElectionWorld, a site that transferred content to Wikipedia and is now defunct. Leaving aside the WP:NOTWEBHOST issues of that, in the years since, this page has effectively become a stale WP:FAKEARTICLE. It is unedited since 2007; no contributions by the user since October 2010. RL0919 (talk) 18:52, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment-- it appears that this page has received at least 1700 views per month for at least the past six months . If there are that many people being redirected from electionworld, perhaps we could come up with another solution.  If this page were redirected to the main page, or a politics portal, then people coming from electionworld would be sent there.  I am just not thrilled with the idea of sending almost 2000 people per month to a deleted user subpage, which is what would happen if this page were deleted entirely.  --  E♴  (talk)  20:24, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The ElectionWorld site itself appears to be dead, but a Google search shows direct links to this page from other websites and blogs. So a redirect to a more appropriate target is probably a good idea. Based on how those sites are using it, the best target may be the article on Elections by country. --RL0919 (talk) 20:42, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Then... Redirect to Elections by country per above. -- E♴  (talk)  16:36, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
