Riverbed → Riverbed_Technology
The result of the debate was Converted to disambig. In addition to stream bed, wadi is also a valid option. -- JLaTondre 15:46, 3 March 2007 (UTC) Misleading. Redirects to an advert page for a company that has nothing whatsoever to do with rivers or riverbeds, except that its name includes the word. It makes as much sense as redirecting light to Light Yagami. Freederick 20:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Redirect to river unless there is some other term for riverbed that has an article. John Reaves (talk) 23:19, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect per John Reaves. I really don't think an RfD was required here. JuJube 01:04, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to river – Qxz 08:16, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. I found an appropriate article to redirect to: Stream bed. Freederick 11:15, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

PLDB → Power level (Dragon Ball)
The result of the debate was delete all. --Core desat  23:19, 6 March 2007 (UTC) Also covering:
 * PL(DB) → Power level (Dragon Ball)
 * PL (DB) → Power level (Dragon Ball)

All three of these are part of an attempt by User to create a shortcuts box on the article (not the user) Power level (Dragon Ball) even though shortcuts are for Project pages. This editor seems to be creating redirects just to create redirects, with no demonstrated need for them. (Grrrr. I didn't even see the Lists of XXX in Dragon Ball "shortcuts" until I started investigating this.) CovenantD 23:59, 27 February 2007 (UTC) Delete all oh yeah, sure, I love to create abbreviated redirects so much, yeah... Guess what? '''NO!!! NO!!! NO!!!''' I only began creating them because some redirects like LFRCDB, LFRC, DBZ:BT2 had already existed and were made by other users. So, I saw no harm in it and I began creating a few like LEDB, LADB and the PL one's. I didn't see anything that was wrong with making them since there was no policy/guideline against it and I still don't see any that say "No, you can't." At least I didn't do it on purpose, I simply followed protocal. "No more, no less", as I always say.

 * Why even bother lying? It's obvious you created it. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 00:34, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - oops, my bad. Didn't know I created it. How silly of me! Power level (Dragon Ball) 06:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - Didn't you used to make shortcuts to people's usernames? I could swear you made a shortcut for when you wrote to me. And I vaguely remember some were based on your misspellings. --Chris Griswold (  ☎  ☓  ) 18:57, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - Chris, in the words of Shakepeare: "What's past is past". The important thing is the present. Power level (Dragon Ball) 04:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * ''I don't care what Shakepeare said, you were given a second chance, and in my eyes, you've blown it. Despite the new account, you're still doing the same things you did when you were Dragonball1986. --Chris Griswold (  ☎  ☓  ) 05:24, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Google show that the use of these abbreviation is virtually nonexistent. Also, stop fighting here, or anywhere for that matter. John Reaves (talk) 01:15, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - There's no one fighting here. We're all adults, aren't we? Power level (Dragon Ball) 04:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
