April 24
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on April 24, 2008

I Feel Asleep → Engrish
The result of the debate was Deleted. There are two separate uses within Wikipedia. It is not significant enough for a dab page and relying on the search tool is a better approach. -- JLaTondre (talk) 13:11, 4 May 2008 (UTC) "I Feel Asleep" is an example of Engrish from a video game. It is not discussed at all in the Engrish article. We don't need random examples of Engrish to redirect to the Engrish article when they are not discussed therein. Mike R (talk) 23:04, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Metal_Gear, the source material. Pretty common one.  --UsaSatsui (talk) 01:07, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete early and often. Most highly unlikely search term that is not mentioned in the target. 147.70.242.40 (talk) 01:38, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I think that the retarget suggestion above is a better choice since the line I Feel Asleep is mentioned in in the Metal Gear article. --76.69.171.134 (talk) 22:01, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It clearly is better than status quo, but it would still be an improbable search item for Metal Gear. A mention in the section is sufficient, and it's already there, as previously noted. Not everything that is mentioned in passing in a single article merits a redirect. Delete. B.Wind (talk) 02:09, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Retarget to Metal Gear per UsaSatsui. This is a relatively well-known example ('I feel asleep' gets 800,000 hits on Google) so probably should exist as a redirect. Terraxos (talk) 22:01, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * In fairness, a lot of them are typos, and there's just as many references to Homestar Runner as Metal Gear. Maybe Engrish is the way to go... --UsaSatsui (talk) 22:12, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Search results show it is used in several different articles. None are especially deserving of a redirect. Richard001 (talk) 00:10, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

To push start only 1 player button → Engrish
The result of the debate was Deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 01:13, 2 May 2008 (UTC) "To push start only 1 player button" is another example of Engrish from a video game. It too is not discussed at all in the Engrish article. Again, we don't need random examples of Engrish to redirect to the Engrish article when they are not discussed therein. Mike R (talk) 23:04, 24 April 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete. It may be an example of "Engrish", but no one would use the phrase as a search term. 147.70.242.40 (talk) 01:40, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Queen Britney → Britney Spears
The result of the debate was Two deleted and Pinkey re-targeted to Pinky. -- JLaTondre (talk) 01:15, 2 May 2008 (UTC) No links and seem to be nonsense redirects. No mention of these terms in the target article.  RichardΩ612  Ɣ |ɸ 18:03, April 24, 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * - No links in articles.
 * - No links
 * Delete/change target, could refer to multiple things, I don't think anybody searching for Britney Spears would search "Pinkey" though I think that one could be redirected to a more useful place like little finger, as a possible misspelling of "Pinky"? Queen Briney is bull, there are many people with the name "Britney". Could "La spears" go to Spears (surname) or Spears? The DominatorTalkEdits 00:25, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete 'Queen Britney' and 'La spears'; retarget 'Pinkey' to Pinky as a plausible misspelling. Terraxos (talk) 21:59, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Hesperia comma → Silver-spotted Skipper
The result of the debate was Not applicable. I've fixed the copy-n-paste move. -- JLaTondre (talk) 13:03, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The common English name is used both sides of the Atlantic—in the British Isles for Hesperia comma, and in North America for Epargyreus clarus. Meanwhile, Hesperia comma is known under a different English name in North America. The current page is all about Hesperia comma—GRM (talk) 17:14, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Then again, this might be the wrong place to post this request, which is actually a request to delete an existing redirect page in order to move an existing page to that "index". Please advise—GRM (talk) 17:19, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * If the same name is being used for two or more different species, disambiguate. 147.70.242.40 (talk) 21:35, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I've fixed the heading to show the currect direction of the redirection. 147.70.242.40 (talk) 01:46, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Right, create a disambiguation page for words with more than one meaning. The DominatorTalkEdits 00:26, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Dabify per the anon.-- Lenticel ( talk ) 06:36, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅—GRM (talk) 19:43, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

The British School of Guanzghou → The British School of Guangzhou
The result of the debate was Kept. Article was originally created under this title & moved. -- JLaTondre (talk) 13:06, 4 May 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete unlikely typo (Guanzghou v.s. Guangzhou). If we consider swapping two letters a "common" typo, then an article name with n letters would automatically have (n-1) redirects. ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 11:40, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * n(n-1), actually - and that's not counting permutations with spaces. Weak delete. 147.70.242.40 (talk) 15:02, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep likely typo--TrueWikimedian (talk) 09:44, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Pepsimax → Pepsi Max
The result of the debate was Kept. -- JLaTondre (talk) 13:05, 4 May 2008 (UTC) Implausable typo? – ThatWikiGuy (talk | life) 10:49, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry for what I did wrong. Delete it if nobody using or search with this word. -- Love Krittaya (talk) 10:51, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Let's see what the community think first. I wasn't sure if it was implausible so, it put it up to see what the community think. If i was sure it would have put db-r3. – ThatWikiGuy (talk | life) 10:55, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Spacing errors (or misapprehensions) are reasonably common typos, so I think this one's reasonable. — Gavia immer (talk) 13:23, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Unlike the one above this entry, "Pepsimax" is a foreseeable search item, like "Superbowl" (actual name: Super Bowl). 147.70.242.40 (talk) 15:04, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Keep. That's a very plausible typo.  --UsaSatsui (talk) 20:23, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep This is plausible. The Dominator</tt><tt>TalkEdits</tt> 01:38, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep certainly plausible. Redirects are cheap, and it is not out of the question that a person may be unaware of the spacing for "Pepsi Max". EJF (talk) 17:27, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

C.O.P.S. (Comics) → C.O.P.S. (comics)
<div class="boilerplate mfd" style="background:#FFEEDD; margin-top:0.5em; padding:0 10px 0 10px; border:1px solid #888888;">The result of the debate was Kept. -- JLaTondre (talk) 13:04, 4 May 2008 (UTC) Unneeded search term, like Andrew Nolan (Comics) was. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 03:17, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak delete- eh, it's definitely a possible search term; I didn't even notice the difference between the redirect title and target page title until I noticed the capital 'C' in comics. Just the same, if it's unnecessary and unneded, I don't suppose there's much reason in keeping it. Mizu onna sango15 / 水 女 珊瑚15  04:00, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - foreseeable typo makes it a plausible search item. Redirects are cheap, and in this case, does no harm. B.Wind (talk) 04:44, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, completely standard redirect, done on many article, why does this need to be deleted? Redirects are cheap. <tt>The Dominator</tt><tt>TalkEdits</tt> 00:28, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I recreated Andrew Nolan (Comics) if nobody minds, "implausible typo" is not valid in this case, alternatively capitalising is not implausible for anyone except those who know Wikipedia naming conventions well. <tt>The Dominator</tt><tt>TalkEdits</tt> 00:30, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment what about William Kaplan (Comics)? Should it also be recreated? And I think I'm starting to understand: should such redirects be categorized like COPS (Comics) is? I also found Non (DC comics). Thoughts? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 05:21, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think there are really any set standards, just redirect what you think people might search, I, for instance, would find it annoying to end up with search results just because I capitalized one letter incorrectly. Personally, I create redirects to my newly created articles whenever I can, as long as their plausible. The philosophy is that "redirects are cheap", meaning that you don't have to create a redirect to anything, but if somebody does, leave it be, I say, unless it's harmful or just blatantly unhelpful. <tt>The Dominator</tt><tt>TalkEdits</tt> 05:40, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
