Second Ossetian War → 2008 South Ossetia War
The result of the debate was Deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 00:09, 20 August 2008 (UTC) Blatant neologism. Absolutely no verifiable outside use. We should not be inventing terminology, especially when it's flawed (this is at least the third war). Superm401 - Talk 12:31, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Commenting: based on what I have read it looks like there have been many wars in Ossetia, and this one isn't the second if we want to count them all. NerdyNSK (talk) 23:18, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Comment: I suspect (speaking for myself if nothing else) that it's highly unlikely that most people would look up 'Second Ossetian War' when looking for the current hostilities, when many people had no idea that the place had had any wars before. The 'Second Ossetian War' page is rather pointless I think, it's highly unlikely that anyone would look it up. Ged UK (talk) 19:40, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - This template refers it as the 2nd South Ossetia. Pie is good   (Apple is the best)  20:14, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

List of major Street Fighter characters → Street Fighter (video game)
The result of the debate was Keep. (non-admin closure) Mastrchf (t/c) 16:16, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Such list isn't mentioned in the target article. See also: Articles for deletion/List of major Street Fighter characters. David Pro (talk) 00:07, 10 August 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * The list itself never would be mentioned. The relevant question is whether any of the content from the old list got merged back into the article.  If there was a merger even temporarily, then we would want to keep the redirect and its pagehistory as the easiest way to assure compliance with the attribution requirements of GFDL.  (And even if we can prove that no content were moved, we should probably still keep it as an easy way to provide a reference to the AfD and to preempt other from recreating the same content that the community has already decided it doesn't want.)  Rossami (talk) 02:11, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I think that this type of redirs must be redirected in a list article, not in a regular article. David Pro (talk) 15:49, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep It can't be deleted if any of the content was merged into the target article. -- Ned Scott 07:55, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Even though the word "major" is not used, the target article has a list of characters. --UberScienceNerd Talk Contributions 02:10, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
