Assorted Wikipedia Maxims
The nominated redirect was Deleted, no useful edit history needed to be preserved. -- Cyde Weys 00:08, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Wiki is not paper → What Wikipedia is not
 * 2) Wiki isn't paper → What Wikipedia is not
 * 3) Wikipedia is not made of paper → What Wikipedia is not
 * 4) Wikipedia is not a crystall ball → What Wikipedia is not
 * 5) Wikipedia is not a mud wrestling pit → What Wikipedia is not
 * 6) Wikipedia is not a soap box → What Wikipedia is not
 * 7) Wikipedia contains spoilers → Spoiler warning
 * 8) Wikipedia does not give medical advice → Medical disclaimer

All eight of the above are unnecessary CNRs that are not encyclopedic topics. Gavia immer (u|t|c)  19:21, 12 October 2006 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete all per nom. Khatru2 20:01, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete all per nom. (Note that some of the source pages are misspelled, as well.)  &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 18:09, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep of Wiki is not paper and Wikipedia contains spoilers. These have history which predates the creation of the independent namespaces.  Keep Wikipedia is not a soap box and Wikipedia does not give medical advice because they have at times been in significant use on Talk and project pages - clear evidence that lots of people find them useful.  No opinion on the newly created and little used redirects.  Being a CNR is not inherently evil and there is no possibility that these links will ever be confused for anything but the policy pages that they point to.  Rossami (talk) 22:36, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. The two 'Wiki ...' redirects imply that the policy page describes Wikis in general, which is too broad. John Vandenberg 22:50, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete for all, as cross-namespace redirects. --Rbraunwa 15:59, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Move Wiki is not paper to Wikipedia is not paper or Is not paper and Delete Wiki isn't paper and Wikipedia is not made of paper. Move Wikipedia is not a crystall ball to Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. The redirect is used to construct prose so the spelling mistake doesnt need to be left to help people find the right page; WP:NOT is very easy to find. No opinion on the Wikipedia is... redirects as they are harmless CNR used for prose purposes. John Vandenberg 22:50, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Access denied → File system permissions
The nominated redirect was deleted. —Centrx→talk &bull; 21:18, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

There is more to "Access denied" than just file permissions!--Qu e ntin Smith 13:07, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Any alternatives you can suggest? CP/Mcomm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 16:10, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. This is a stereotypical computer error message that is indeed related to file system permissions. There is no reason to delete it for pointing it at that target, and if the nominator feels that some other target is warranted, no action is required here - it can simply be changed. Gavia immer (u|t|c)  17:50, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Also used on login screens, and (although I don't have a cite) possibly in general usage for any denial of access. If changed to a disambig page, it goes out of scope for RFD. &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 18:11, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm inclined to agree with Gavia, although it might be prudent to change to a small disambiguation page pointing to file system permissions and user authentication. However, that might be considered excessive and unnecessary. WhiteLightning 08:41, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not everyone is a computer freak, not everyone logs as a non-privileged user. Pavel Vozenilek 14:28, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. The redirect is not without merit; if it can be improved, be bold.  John Vandenberg 22:55, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan → William Davidson Institute
The nominated redirect was kept. — TKD::Talk 00:52, 23 October 2006 (UTC) Totally unnecessary redirect page, no non-trivial edit history, no links to redirect, all contents from both original articles now live at William Davidson Institute in a much nicer form ... my mistake, I could have avoided the whole situation had I looked closer for duplicate articles. JubalHarshaw 18:45, 12 October 2006 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Speedy keep to prevent a third duplicate article. — CharlotteWebb 20:46, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. The edit history is important to retain as content was migrated into the William Davidson Institute article. John Vandenberg 23:00, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Risk Management Information Systems - RIMS → Risk Management Information Systems
The nominated redirect was deleted. — TKD::Talk 00:50, 23 October 2006 (UTC) Misspelled redirect page with no real edit history, just cleaning things up after a page move, thanks. JubalHarshaw 19:40, 12 October 2006 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete per nom. John Vandenberg 06:40, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Editcountitis → Editcountitis
The nominated redirect was speedy deleted as a repost of deleted content (CSD G4). The previous RfD discussion is archived here, and the previous deletion is recorded in the deletion log here. Cross-namespace, no history. Khatru2 21:37, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Helfferich → Helf
The nominated redirect was deleted as part of the SU cleanup project by Kusma (討論) 12:45, 13 October 2006 (UTC) Helfferich is in several articles, such as Helfferich Glacier, various references, articles including information on German minister Karl Helfferich. There are variant spellings on the name, such as Helfrich, Helfrick, etc. But Helf? seems like a whole different group of names and people.
