December 13
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on December 13, 2008

Pubic goods → Public good
The result of the discussion was delete. mattbr 17:07, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

While possibly counting as misspelling, it doesn't really help those interested in public good and is rather misleading for who types 'pubic' to find related subjects. Tikiwont (talk) 19:59, 13 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Fine. I was just trying to be helpful. but i frequently have mispeled public as pubic, so I figured I could help ppl out by changin it. But since u have to be a WB about it (since you are one, maybe you can help delete it), do what you will with it. Wilkos (talk) 04:18, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't see why I should shut up or where i am the one whining here or what else you're trying to tell me. I agree that it can be misspelled, just not that it helps to have a hard-coded redirect. --Tikiwont (talk) 10:37, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

 * This is a very common typo, but it should be deleted as a potentially confusing redirect (before someone gets the bright idea to retarget it to prostitution or something similar). B.Wind (talk) 06:56, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Public goods would be fine, but pubic goods? Nuh-uh. -- Dylan 620  Contribs Sign! 19:42, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete While the redirect was clearly created to address a common misspelling, the fact that it is also a valid English expression with multiple potential meanings makes this redirect a point of confusion. --Allen3 talk 04:43, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Penghus → Pescadores
The result of the discussion was keep. mattbr 17:10, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Id like to add this page for deletion... Penghus is a bastardized for of the correct Pinyin form (Penghu). Hanyu Pinyin has its own rules.. I just think we should respect that, considering that this is an encyclopedic site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.43.124.203 (talk)

 * Keep. "Pescadores" seems to be the most common form in English, but "Penguhus" doesn't seem implausible as a search. In particular, English pluralization of a group noun doesn't seem at all implausible. — Gavia immer (talk) 15:54, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Gavia immer. Seems like a possible search term.-- Ashb e y ₮ 16:04, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep -- REdirects are harmless. As a group of islands, applying a plural form (even if incorrect) is not an improbable mistake.  Peterkingiron (talk) 23:05, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Jeff D'Amico (left-handed pitcher) → Jeff D'Amico (Royals)
The result of the discussion was speedy deleted by Jerry per criterion R3 (implausible typo) (log). — Gavia immer (talk) 18:23, 14 December 2008 (UTC) 

Page was improperly moved. D'Amico is not left-handed. -Dewelar (talk) 11:22, 13 December 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete. And I loved the Inigo Montoya edit summary. :)-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  13:11, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - If D'Amico isn't left-handed, then who's going to type "left-handed pitcher"? Per nom.-- Ashb e y ₮ 16:06, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * R3 Unlikely redirect as he's not a southpaw. So tagged. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 00:53, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Edward D. Murphy → Eddie Murphy
The result of the discussion was speedy deleted by Jerry per criterion R3 (implausible typo) (log). — Gavia immer (talk) 18:20, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

According to Eddie Murphy, Eddie Murphy's name is Edward Regan Murphy, so the intitial "D" is inappropriate. According to IMDB, Edward D. Murphy is a completely different actor, who doesn't appear to have a WP article at the moment, but whose name should be reserved for an article if anyone wants to create one. Deor (talk) 04:28, 13 December 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete - Unless this was a clerical error, the redirect should never have been created in the first place. Ward3001 (talk) 04:40, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete WP:CSD. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:15, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - R3.-- Ashb e y ₮ 16:08, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

TF:ROCKO → WikiProject Nickelodeon/Rocko's Modern Life task force
The result of the discussion was Deleted. WP:NICK/RML already exists. If someone wants to add WP:ROCKO, they are welcome to. -- JLaTondre (talk) 16:02, 22 December 2008 (UTC) No TF: pseudospace exists. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 03:15, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: Actually, yes it does. -- Dylan 620  Contribs Sign! 03:23, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, there's at least one more TF space that exists. Does that mean they should? Judging from precedent, it seems not. (And wow, even Zim has a task force now? Maybe I should help with that one just for Treelo. But after I've watched an episode or six to satisfy her and Yngvarr.) Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 03:36, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Good luck with anything besides Turbo Nick; at this point in time, that's the only way I can see watching it. (OK, let's end the Zim conversation before it gets out of hand. -- Dylan 620  Contribs Sign! 12:10, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete, and find an alternative shortcut in keeping with namespace guidelines. Terraxos (talk) 16:47, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * WP:ROCKO would work here. B.Wind (talk) 03:23, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

CHERRY → Cherry picking
The result of the discussion was Re-targeted to WP:Coatrack which is a Wikipedia: namespace version of the same thing. Redirect from wikipedia space to article space. Is this needed? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 02:43, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * This redirect was created to generate a WP shortcut to the definition of the issue and include it in the issue-tag . In case this is not the right way to go about it, kindly fix the issue or guide me. Deletion will mess up the tag. Thanks, --Road Ahead  =Discuss= 07:49, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Keep while a stub is prepared. I am willing to help User:Roadahead in this. Colonel Warden (talk) 23:31, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Retarget to WP:Coatrack; more appropriate.--Aervanath lives in <b style="color:green;">the Orphanage</b> 01:40, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

"Ass Burger Syndrome" redirects → Asperger syndrome
<div class="boilerplate mfd" style="background:#FFEEDD; margin-top:0.5em; padding:0 10px 0 10px; border:1px solid #888888;">The result of the discussion was G10 as attack-y redirects, NAC. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 02:56, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Completing incomplete nomination for this disparaging term. --Allen3 talk 01:55, 13 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete -- Dylan 620  Contribs Sign! 03:22, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I've added a trivial capitalization variant that should also be deleted. Note: Previous discussions of a similar nature are at Redirects for discussion/Log/2007 January 23 and Redirects for discussion/Log/2007 August 21. I remain convinced that any variant of "ass burger" should go. — Gavia immer (talk) 15:44, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Added and nominated a third variant. -- Dylan 620  Contribs Sign! 16:13, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Added a fourth variant.-- A<font color= "#0099ff">s<font color= "#00ccff">hb e y ₮ 16:16, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - Disparaging term.-- A<font color= "#0099ff">s<font color= "#00ccff">hb e y ₮ 16:09, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * There are also the two redirects that I have just added. <font color="#006600;">It Is Me Here  <font color="#CC6600;">t / <font color="#CC6600;">c 21:12, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Deleted per TenPoundHammer's nomination as attack redirects. Nyttend (talk) 02:44, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
