August 6
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on August 6, 2008

Punishment horse → Spanking
The result of the debate was Deleted. If the content is restored to Spanking, then the redirect can be recreated. In the absence of any matching content, this redirect does not serve a navigational aid. As for the restoration of the content, that is an editorial issue that needs to be worked out on the article talk page. -- JLaTondre (talk) 11:45, 18 August 2008 (UTC) Redirect to a section of Spanking that no longer exists, and for content (namely, information about a "Punishment horse") that was contentious and may have been OR in the first place.

See the old version of Spanking. Also see Fastifex' Talk page, the user who created the redirect, who had received complaints about the information at the time of its addition. &mdash;/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 22:04, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep and restore that section of the article. Seems some babies got thrown out with the bath water. -- Ned Scott 22:28, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Arguably, yes, the recent changes do look like they're eliminating a bunch of good information, but the article as it was had been little more than a coatrack article, biased towards "why spanking is wrong". But that aside, which version of the Position section would you prefer to see re-added? &mdash;/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 03:34, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Not sure, but likely some very basic and easily verifiable information. What seems like common knowledge to us now might not be so common in the future, or even just to someone who comes from a very different background. -- Ned Scott 07:13, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
