Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2006 October 4

Atomic Betty (character) → Atomic Betty
The nominated redirect was Kept. Redirects tend to discourage more than they encourage article creation. -- JLaTondre 22:49, 12 October 2006 (UTC) Anyone conducting a search for Atomic Betty, the character could reasonably be expected to enter the search term "Atomic Betty", in which case they would be pointed to the main article which contains character information.

 * Keep. Does no harm, and may possibly do good. Gavia immer (u|t|c)  16:41, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Retention invites embellishment of (character) page to originator's (cf. MascotGuy) article. --Ricksy 22:14, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Listed below numerous Miyazaki location redirects
The nominated redirect was Deleted. -- JLaTondre 22:48, 12 October 2006 (UTC) Aki, Miyazaki → Aki, Oita Higashikunisaki District, Miyazaki → Higashikunisaki District, Oita Himeshima, Miyazaki → Himeshima, Oita Kakadi, Miyazaki → Kakaji, Oita Kunimi, Miyazaki → Kunimi, Oita Kunisaki, Miyazaki → Kunisaki, Oita Matama, Miyazaki → Matama, Oita Musashi, Miyazaki → Musashi, Oita Nishikunisaki District, Miyazaki → Nishikunisaki District, Oita Oota, Miyazaki → Ota, Oita Ota, Miyazaki → Ota, Oita None of the above places actually exist in Miyazaki Prefecture: they are all places in Ōita Prefecture. As far as I can tell, they were created erroneously in February 2004. At the moment, the only service they are performing is to spread misinformation on Wikipedia's downstream sites and on Google.

See its entry below. TimBentley (talk) 02:22, 4 October 2006 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'

Petropower → Gulf war
Same as below. Heimstern Läufer 00:44, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Petropolitics → Iraq war
POV, suggesting Iraq war was motivated by petroleum-related politics. Heimstern Läufer 00:39, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Ask him what freedom is → United States
Unless I'm missing something, it's pure nonsense. May be vandalism, as this user has created other odd redirects to the same article. Heimstern Läufer 00:03, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Aurdiere → Audiere

 * If he spelled it wrong, someone else might too, so it's a good redirect Ashi b aka tock 16:34, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

History of Science → History of science
<div class="boilerplate mfd" style="background:#FFEEDD; margin-top:0.5em; padding:0 10px 0 10px; border:1px solid #888888;">The nominated redirect was Kept -- Cyde Weys 22:47, 9 October 2006 (UTC) This seems to be a needless and confusing redirect page, however I am not sure if it is not needed, so I have listed it here. Holdek <sup style="color:Green;">(talk) 06:32, 4 October 2006 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Keep. This is a harmless redirect. --Metropolitan90 07:49, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The problem is that it sets people up to accidently set up a double-redirect. For example, on my first attempt at making a redirect, I tried to redirect Arab contributions to science to History of Science and couldn't figure out why it wasn't automatically redirecting to History of science since capitalizaion usually doesn't make any difference.  --Holdek <sup style="color:Green;">(talk)  23:27, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: Some people use title case, so why not have a redirect. Heimstern Läufer 14:21, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Single-use only, scrap redirect. Notice wiki-search gets to article direct, even with caps lock! Ricksy 21:37, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Metropolitan90. 70.48.111.186 21:04, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Harmless redirect. Besides, some people are prone to capitalize "Science".-- Hús  ö  nd  23:41, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Pavel Vozenilek 23:33, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Spoken Wikipedia → WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia
<div class="boilerplate mfd" style="background:#FFEEDD; margin-top:0.5em; padding:0 10px 0 10px; border:1px solid #888888;">The nominated redirect was Deleted. -- JLaTondre 22:35, 12 October 2006 (UTC) It leads from the article namespace to a Wikipedia project page. Newbies could be confused and a future article about the Spoken Wikipedia is avoided at the moment. As there are enough shortcuts and you can also find the project site with the search function, I think this redirect can be deleted. --CyRoXX 23:16, 4 October 2006 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete as annoying cross-name space redirect. &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 23:59, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete cross-namespace, no incoming links, no history. Khatru2 04:36, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete; cross-namespace links are bad. Ral315 (talk) 05:26, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as a self-referential cross-namespace redirect. --Core des at (talk) 20:48, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
