January 11
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion on January 11, 2008

Palatable → Toxin
The result of the debate was retarget to Flavor. WjBscribe 19:37, 19 January 2008 (UTC) Also Palatability → Toxin and Unpalatable → Toxin Although speedy deletion does not appear to apply to these three redirects, the redirects don't make a great deal of sense either, because food does not need to be toxic to be unpalatable. Either we should find better targets for these redirects or create a new article on Palatability or just delete them.

 * I agree that these redirect are incorrect. None of them have any useful history either.  I do not believe that you could ever write an article on Palatability that would ever be more than a mere definition.  You could soft-redirect them to Wiktionary but deletion is probably better.  Rossami (talk) 05:31, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * On reconsideration, a retargetting to flavor might be the best approach. Rossami (talk) 06:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

"This is Living" → PlayStation 3
The result of the debate was delete. WjBscribe 03:40, 18 January 2008 (UTC) Wikipedia is not Wikiquote. The redirect has quotes. Let's delete it Magioladitis (talk) 01:15, 11 January 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete per nom, unlikely search term.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 17:53, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --M4gnum0n (talk) 08:56, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Hamilton Predators → Nashville Predators
The result of the debate was keep. WjBscribe 19:30, 19 January 2008 (UTC) The Nashville Predators are not the Hamilton Predators. They will not be the Hamilton Predators. At some point in the summer of 2007, the owner of BlackBerry attempted to purchase the team and move it to Hamilton. It never materialized. No intelligent person would search for "Hamilton Predators" when looking for the Nashville Predators. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Smashville (talk • contribs) 00:20, 11 January 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Keep An intelligent person might search "Hamilton Predators" to look for information about the proposed move, which is documented in a large section in the Nashville Predators article. –Pomte 01:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The move was never proposed. It was a rumor. The team was never even sold to the guy who it was rumored had the intention of moving the team. --SmashvilleBONK! 18:13, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I stand corrected. –Pomte 05:50, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep-I disagree with the nom's statement that no "intelligent person" (which, as a side note, is a whole can of worms by itself) would ever search for this. Probably not many, granted, but I'd not call it impossible. Redirects are cheap enough that the potential value, however low, is enough to keep this one.--Fyre2387 (talk • contribs) 15:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment...now I'm not accusing the creator of bad faith, but I should also add that a lot of message board trolling was done referring to the Nashville Predators as the Hamilton Predators. It's kind of inflammatory. --SmashvilleBONK! 20:44, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Fapfapfap → Masturbation
The result of the debate was no consensus, defaults to keep. WjBscribe 19:34, 19 January 2008 (UTC) "Fap" is a slang dicdef not even in Wiktionary. Why we need it repeated three times as a redirect I don't know.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 17:53, 11 January 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Keep - "Fapfapfap" is sometimes used as an alternative to "fap", to signify vigorous or really fast masturbation, similar as how "lololol" (which redirects to LOL) is used to mean intense LOLs. Floaterfluss (talk) (contribs) 19:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not only do I highly doubt that anyone is going to search Wikipedia for Fapfapfap intending to find Masturbation, but Floaterfluss brought up the point about lololol which doesn't link to any articles, and I also find highly doubtful people will search Wikipedia for intending to find LOL since, from my experience, people tend to be lazy, and if they wanted to, they'd just type in "lol" or "LOL" into Wikipedia's search box and be taken to the same place. For this reason, I do not believe we need a redirect on "fapfapfap", when people will just be lazy and type "fap" and be taken to FAP, where at the bottom there's a soft redirect to masturbation with a good description of how it relates to masturbation.--  十  八  00:56, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - it got used so much that it was put on GameFAQ's blacklist of words. (of which the words mast(u|e)rbat(er|ion) were already there). Will (talk) 23:43, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, considering Will and Floaterfluss's statements. -- Ned Scott 04:46, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fap already has the link to masturbation in the disambiguation page. This one is a very unlikely search term. --M4gnum0n (talk) 08:56, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom. --Babedacus (talk) 15:19, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Where We Dine Tonight → Hell
The result of the debate was delete. WjBscribe 19:32, 19 January 2008 (UTC) Joke redirect, 300 reference/4chan meme. Floaterfluss (talk) (contribs) 18:58, 11 January 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete - Joke. Funny though. VegaDark (talk) 07:37, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 16:59, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --M4gnum0n (talk) 08:56, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Toss it off a cliff per this is Sparta. --Babedacus (talk) 15:18, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Redirects to Barack Obama
The result of the debate was delete. WjBscribe 19:32, 19 January 2008 (UTC) Obama! → Barack Obama

My.BarackObama.com → Barack Obama

Unnecessary redirects. Floaterfluss (talk) (contribs) 19:03, 11 January 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete per nom. its not needed--Hu12 (talk) 19:18, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Very bad redirects. -- 19:19, 11 January 2008 (UTC) -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Bad redirects. CarbonLifeForm (talk) 21:53, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Originally this redirect came as a result of discussion at Articles for deletion/My.BarackObama.com. It now seems to be unnecessary. -- Web H amster  22:43, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --M4gnum0n (talk) 08:56, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Ian Heuer → God
The result of the debate was speedy deleted - nonsense/vandalism. VegaDark (talk) 06:54, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Vanity redirect, delete. Floaterfluss (talk) (contribs) 19:07, 11 January 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete. Ian Heuer is not God. -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:10, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy-delete as vandalism. Rossami (talk) 21:20, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
