June 25
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on June 25, 2008

Npov → Neutral point of view
The result of the debate was Retarget to Objectivity (journalism). Lenticel ( talk ) 15:15, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Per WP:REDIRECT, it is a cross-namespace redirect out of article space, pointing into the Wikipedia namespace. JPG-GR (talk) 17:07, 25 June 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete Per WP:REDIRECT. Maybe, if enough other items that are appreviated with "Npov" can be found, it could be turned into a dab with a link to WP:NPOV. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  18:28, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to Objectivity (journalism) as cross namespace redrect Anonymous101 (talk) 06:14, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Retarget per above. Neutral point of view points there, the acronym should probably too. --UsaSatsui (talk) 16:10, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Retarget per Anonymous DA PIE EATER (talk) 00:31, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Retarget. It's a plausible enough abbreviation that it should go somewhere meaningful.  --Mwalimu59 (talk) 14:44, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as is. After reviewing the inbound links to this page, every case I checked intended to refer to the Wikipedia policy page.  I found no instances if it's use within the article space nor any instances where it could have been confused with an article's content.  On the other hand, the accidental omission of the "wp:" prefix is clearly a plausible typo as evidenced by the number of current uses of the redirect.  The theoretical downsides of cross-namespace redirects are outweighed by the need to aid our own editors and readers.  Rossami (talk) 05:12, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

AAA → Admin Accountability Alliance
The result of the debate was Keep. Lenticel ( talk ) 15:11, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

At wikinews, AAA redirects to "Admin action alerts", seeing as our AAA redirects to a dead proposal, I suggest it be repointed at Requests for administrator attention  MBisanz  talk 08:11, 25 June 2008 (UTC)


 * With very few incoming links, I would be fine with retargeting, ...but I'm not seeing the third A in Requests for administrator attention. -- Ned Scott 09:29, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Keep No rationale for deletion (could have been boldly retargeted), but as Ned Scott said, there's no third A in the new target. That could get confusing. Since different wiki sites have different setups (e.g. Wikibooks doesn't appear to have an Administrator's noticeboard; at least not under that name), I don't think it's a good trend to try to match names up by redirecting. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 18:33, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - I'd have no problem with retargeting this if we had an active page with the abbreviation AAA, but as we don't, it's probably fine as it is. As JeremyMcCracken says above, it's not a good idea to try to get our shortcuts to synch up with those on other wikis. Terraxos (talk) 00:37, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
