December 12
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on December 12, 2008

Great Depression of 2008-2009 → Financial crisis of 2007-2008
The result of the discussion was Deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:15, 21 December 2008 (UTC) "Great Depression" is still too speculative to describe the crisis. I don't think anyone would type in the whole phrase "Great Depression of 2008-2009" either. There was no merge, as far as I can tell, just a bad article that got redirected to spare it from deletion. Wkdewey (talk) 23:13, 12 December 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete -- The length of the present recession is a matter for speculation. It fails WP:CRYSTAL.  Peterkingiron (talk) 23:07, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - this pushes a point-of-view fairly aggressively. - Richard Cavell (talk) 12:43, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep  I think this  at least plausible enough to make it a reasonable redirect.  Any ordinary person not knowing the official criteria might quite reasonably think it a depressionDGG (talk) 00:04, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Etheron, California → Atherton, California
 The result of the discussion was Deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:17, 21 December 2008 (UTC) Unlikely misspelling, besides, "etheron" is a term of fringe physics subquantum kinetics and nothing indicates that this town has anything to do with that. meco (talk) 16:59, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: if it is so unlikely, then how did I come to make it? --Gwern (contribs) 17:35 12 December 2008 (GMT)
 * By that line of reasoning no misspelling can ever be considered unlikely since at least one person has made it. __meco (talk) 14:19, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete, unless it can be shown that this is a somewhat plausible misspelling (which, from a quick Google search, doesn't seem to be the case). Terraxos (talk) 16:45, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

TF:LFC → WikiProject Football/Liverpool task force
The result of the discussion was Deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:18, 21 December 2008 (UTC) There is no TF: pseudospace, only WP and WT, therefore this is an inappropriate CNR that does not link to content.  MBisanz  talk 15:11, 12 December 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Neutral As the creator I have no problem with it being deleted, I wasn't aware this is a problem, I simply copied another task force. Either way the taskforce has another redirect at WP:LFC anyway. John Hayestalk 23:01, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete (and I would say the author's comments above would make speedy deletion under WP:CSD possible here). Terraxos (talk) 16:43, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

NYCPT/L → WikiProject New York City Public Transportation/New York City Subway/Lines
The result of the discussion was Speedy Delete, G7 by Orangemike. Lenticel ( talk ) 00:30, 13 December 2008 (UTC) 

There is no NYCPT: pseudospace, only WP and WT, therefore this is an inappropriate CNR that does not link to content.  MBisanz  talk 15:10, 12 December 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete redirect from article space to project space. Even if it were an article, the title of the page violates WP:NAME as indicating it to be a subpage. Improperly-named shortcut was created eight months ago. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 18:35, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I marked it db-author. A redirect named WP:NYCPT/L already exists. I cleanup the target page. --DRoll (talk) 19:01, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

WPP:SCR → WikiProject Sports Car Racing
The result of the discussion was Deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:18, 21 December 2008 (UTC) There is no WPP: pseudospace, only WP and WT, therefore this is an inappropriate CNR that does not link to content.  MBisanz  talk 15:10, 12 December 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete - WP:SCR exists as a redirect to the same target and is now shown there as a short cut. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 18:43, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

WPT:OREGON → Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Oregon
The result of the discussion was Deleted. If anyone wants the recommended version, feel free to create. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:20, 21 December 2008 (UTC) There is no WPT: pseudospace, only WP and WT, therefore this is an inappropriate CNR that does not link to content.  MBisanz  talk 15:09, 12 December 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Replace with WT:OREGON short cut, then delete this one. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 18:40, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Move it to WT:OREGON as per 147.70.242.54. --DRoll (talk) 19:16, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with the above two - move to WT:OREGON then delete original redirect. B.Wind (talk) 07:03, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Forfeiture → Asset forfeiture
The result of the discussion was Re-targeted to Forfeit. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:21, 21 December 2008 (UTC) Forwarding to Asset Forfeiture from Forfeiture prevents the user from taking advantage of the search function to find more relevant articles related to the term. This is limiting the Forfeiture search term to a very small range of its practical application. CobraGeek CU owns USC jr. 00:45, 12 December 2008 (UTC)


 * FWIW, I think I made the original redirect to search and seizure simply to fill a hole in the dictionary article list or something. (Someone else apparently moved it to "asset forfeiture")  At any rate, if it is possible to make a more in depth article about forfeiture then, by all means, go for it. -- EmperorBMA|&#35441;&#12377; 04:44, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Retarget to forfeit disambiguation page as "forfeiting" and "forfeiture" both have wider applications in the English language than their legal meanings. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 18:29, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Retarget to forfeit disambiguation page as well. I was searching for articles related to sports forfeitures, which is a relatively common event.-- CobraGeek  CU owns USC jr. 14:47, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Retarget to forfeit, definitely. - Richard Cavell (talk) 12:45, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
