Magik(disambiguation) → Magik
The result of the debate was delete. —Centrx→talk &bull; 05:57, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

We alreadyhave Magik (disambiguation) as a redirect, surely we don't need this one (without a space) as well? PC78 15:57, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Cairo (dab) → Cairo (disambiguation)
The result of the debate was delete. —Centrx→talk &bull; 05:59, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I can't for the life of me think why we'd need to keep this redirect. PC78 14:38, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete - nobody is going to type "dab" instead of "disambiguation"  Kamope  ·  talk  ·  contributions   19:04, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I did once! :( JuJube 00:52, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep See my comment above. JuJube 00:52, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Sorry, but I think you are the rare case :) Dar-Ape 02:44, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Mass Transit Railway → MTR
The result of the debate was Move request so belongs at WP:RM not here. -- JLaTondre 13:45, 14 January 2007 (UTC) An acronym shouldn'tbe the name of an article, per WP:NAME. It should be the other way around. -- Selmo  (talk) 03:33, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This belongs at WP:RM, not here. See also a similar proposal at Talk:MTR, where a counterargument was that the holding company is called MTR Corporation. Kusma (討論) 10:00, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Move Mass Transit Railway to MTR and move MTR to Mass Transit Railway so then MTR redirects to Mass Transit Railway. Kamope | userpage | talk  |  contributions 13:44, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

WhiteList → Whitelist
The result of the debate was retarget to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. —Centrx→talk &bull; 05:58, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Unneeded and unlikely cross-namespace redirect. 58.178.75.117 11:01, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Re-target to MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. -- JLaTondre 13:42, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Re-target per JLaTondre-- would be useful. Dar-Ape 02:46, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Questions: is there a reason why the L is capitalized? Would we want to use Whitelist as well or instead?  delldot | talk 07:42, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

X-traterrestria hurricanes → X-traterrestrial hurricanes → Extraterrestrial hurricanes
The result of the debate was Re-targeted to fix double redirect. -- JLaTondre 15:11, 15 January 2007 (UTC) This redirect should be deleted because it's a double redirect. Kamope | userpage | talk  |  contributions 13:37, 14 January 2007 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Fix it. The solution for double redirects is to skip the intermediate one and direct it at the actual article. Deletion isn't the answer. For instance, nypd is a lowercase version of NYPD and should redirect there, however NYPD redirects to New York City Police Department so nypd also points there.  Big Nate 37 (T) 03:21, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Motion to close - I went ahead and fixed the double redirect to point to Extraterrestrial hurricanes. Kyra~(talk) 13:06, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Palma de Mallorca Province → Balearic Islands
The result of the debate was delete. —Centrx→talk &bull; 06:00, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Palma de Mallorca is not a province of Spain, but the capital of the province Illes Balears (Balearic Islands). Redirect existed because another article linked it incorrectly, but they have all been corrected. Article Palma de Mallorca exists referring correctly to the city, and also states that the province is Illes Balears. John C PI 21:18, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
