"national association for science fiction" → National Association for Science Fiction
The result of the debate was Deleted. -- JLaTondre 20:01, 25 November 2006 (UTC) Is there a reason for quoted redirects like this that I am unaware of? There seem to be a large number of them ... some are actual quotations, but most are just random people or topics that for whatever reason have a quoted redirect.

 * Delete as implausible redirect. I'd say most of the time, quote-redirects are bad, although there are occasional appropriate uses. This one was the original location of the article, but Deb moved it to its current title, and this was left behind. Picaroon9288 02:57, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Simon the Zealot → Simon the Apostle
The nominated redirect was Page move requests belong at WP:RM. -- JLaTondre 02:40, 18 November 2006 (UTC) Page moved without notice or consensus. Want to move page back and retain history. --evrik (talk) 17:16, 17 November 2006 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Comment: Requested Moves is over there. &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 19:51, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I've posted it there, but the redirect needs to be deleted to have the page moved back. --evrik (talk) 20:33, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * FYI, anyone can move over top of a page that is only a redirect and has never been anything else ... although, ironically, now that you have tagged the page with rfd, that's no longer possible. ;) BigDT 21:50, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Logic-system → Logic system
The result of the debate was All kept. Wikipedia is for lay people also not just for a researcher who's already familiar with the subject. -- JLaTondre 20:06, 25 November 2006 (UTC) Hyphen is only used by the article created and author. I think the target name is a neologism, and should be deleted rather than redirected, but this hyphen is bad. Please orphan and delete. &mdash; Arthur Rubin | (talk) 17:02, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

 * keep. There's no reason to think searchers wouldn't occasionally use a hyphen here, and that's a valid function of a redirect.   Un  focused  18:00, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It is unreasonable in the field of mathematical logic and proof theory that a researcher who would understand the material would use a hyphen. I can't speak for the computer science people.  (And my Ph.D thesis was a field generally related to this topic, so I can speak with reasonable authority.) &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 17:02, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Red Link → WikiProject Red Link Recovery
The result of the debate was Deleted. -- JLaTondre 20:01, 25 November 2006 (UTC) Cross-namespace redirect, plus I think it should be a red link. oTHErONE (Contribs) 08:49, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete - not an encyclopedic topic, and even if a user were specifically searching for the meaning of red links on Wikipedia, this is not what they would would be looking for. Plus, it should be a red link. Gavia immer (u|t|c)  17:49, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, no useful incoming links. Plus, CNRs are useless. 202.67.87.166 23:14, 23 November 2006 (UTC) Retarget to Dead link. 202.67.87.166 23:32, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. Broken links are not often red .  &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 17:06, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
