November 16
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on November 16, 2008

Tropical rock - to be swapped with Trop Rock → Tropical rock
The result of the debate was Speedily deleted by me as non-controversial housekeeping; one author who requests deletion; newbie author trying to do the right thing; no problem here. - Richard Cavell (talk) 08:14, 16 November 2008 (UTC) I speedily closed Articles for deletion/Tropical rock - to be swapped with Trop Rock as being in the wrong forum. The nominator of this redirect, says that this redirect should be deleted because, "This page was created for temporary storage in an effort to swap article names." I have no opinion on whether or not this redirect should be deleted. Cunard (talk) 07:55, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I am also nominating the following related pages because [This page was similarly created for temporary storage and is not only an artifact of an effort to swap article names]:

 * Comment: I think these redirects may be speedy-able under WP:CSD. I've tagged them as such. Cunard (talk) 08:07, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

WPP:WPND → Portal:North Dakota
The result of the debate was Delete.Tikiwont (talk) 09:44, 25 November 2008 (UTC) Improper CNR to a portal, the portal pseudospace is P: and WP would not be used in the title.

 * Delete - inexplicable redirect. 'Wikipedia portal: Wikiproject North Dakota' doesn't sound like the appropriate acronym, and we should not create a precedent. - Richard Cavell (talk) 12:17, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Caribbean/Selected music/Layout → Portal:Caribbean/Selected music/Layout


The result of the debate was Delete.Tikiwont (talk) 09:44, 25 November 2008 (UTC) Unlikely subspaced CNR to a portal, no history to preserve  MBisanz  talk 02:51, 16 November 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete as an unlikely cross-namespace redirect. &mdash; Mizu onna sango15 Hello!  18:33, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete malformed one-year-old redirect with a title that appears similar to old subpages. Most unlikely search item here. B.Wind (talk) 03:59, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

P:ar → Portal:Ancient Rome
The result of the debate was Delete.Tikiwont (talk) 09:44, 25 November 2008 (UTC) Inappropriate lower case pseudo-space redirect.  MBisanz  talk 02:43, 16 November 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete - inappropriate redirect; there is no 'P' namespace. Terraxos (talk) 04:43, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

H:RV → Help:Reverting
The result of the debate was Delete.Tikiwont (talk) 09:44, 25 November 2008 (UTC) No H: pseudospace, 2007 creation, no history to preserve, inappropriate CNR.  MBisanz  talk 02:38, 16 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment: H: is short for the Help namespace, therefor, H:RV is a shortcut to Help:Reverting just like WP:3RR is a shortcut to Three-revert rule. What's next? H:IOUF (Help:Images and other uploaded files), H:MMP (Help:Merging and moving pages), H:MW (Help:Magic words), H:SUMMARY (Help:Edit summary), H:TABLE (Help:Table), and H:US (Help:User style)? I'm surprised that those are the only shortcuts to Help: namespace pages. --Lightsup55 ( T | C ) 02:59, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * According to this, there is no "H" psuedo-namespace. --UsaSatsui (talk) 22:51, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
