November 23
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on November 23, 2008

Xiu Xiu Larsen → XXL
The result of the debate was Retarget to Xiu Xiu and make connection clearer. Tikiwont (talk) 09:50, 2 December 2008 (UTC) No reason to have a redirect that targets a dab page, which does not mention the redirect UnitedStatesian (talk) 23:27, 23 November 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete. Probably someone's idea of a joke. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 18:30, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * retarget to Xiu Xiu. Xiu Xiu and Larsen are both bands which apparently combined to form a group called Xiu Xiu Larsen which released at least one album (¡Ciaütistico!). Given this info it probably could be it's own wikipage, but since there no page for Xiu Xiu Larsen right now, and given that all this is on the Xiu Xiu page, I say just retarget it there. --Bachrach44 (talk) 03:30, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Huggle → Huggle
The result of the debate was retargeted to Glossary of anime and manga. Please don't point it back to projectspace again. -- Gurch (talk) 12:46, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Do we really need this? And if so, I don't think it should redirect to WP:HG, as people using an encyclopedia are more likely to be looking for hug. David WS (contribs)  23:00, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete These sorts of cross-namespace redirects are almost always problematic. UnitedStatesian (talk) 23:07, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Something was there before. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Huggle .  I am not an admin so I dont know what it was.  Also, there's quite a few links to Huggle on talk pages and such, though not in mainspace.  Soap Talk/Contributions 00:12, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Just a comment, you can see what was likely there at huggle. David WS  (contribs)  00:47, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. "What links here" shows mainly talk pages and WP:ANI entries, so a cleanup wouldn't be problematic. By the way, the article Huggle that was discussed in the abovementioned AfD has nothing to do with the Wikipedia anti-vandalism tool. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 18:38, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Soft redirect to huggle at Wiktionary. It's not an extremely common term for a hug, and a soft redirect there seems appropriate. Soliloquialtalk 04:02, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Cure for autism → Autism
The result of the debate was Nomination Withdrawn. Lenticel ( talk ) 01:00, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

This was apparently meant to be a redirect to Cure Autism Now, which is an organization that is now a part of Autism Speaks. But these organizations are not the cure for autism, any more than the Susan Komen foundation is the cure for breast cancer. I currently have set this article to redirect to Autism, which I think is the most appropriate place for a redirect to go, but since there are no links anywhere on Wikipedia to Cure for autism I think that it would be better if it could simply be deleted. Soap</FONT> Talk/Contributions 15:15, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I just found Autism therapies, which I think would be a good place to redirect it to. I'm not sure if I can withdraw my own RfD but I am changing my "vote" to not supporting the deletion anymore. <FONT COLOR="#800000"><B>Soap</B></FONT> Talk/Contributions 18:43, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, you may withdraw the nomination, especially if you've boldly retargeted the redirect or overwritten it. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 19:52, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

William Hart(actor) → William Hart (actor)
<span id="William Hart(actor)" > <div class="boilerplate mfd" style="background:#FFEEDD; margin-top:0.5em; padding:0 10px 0 10px; border:1px solid #888888;">The result of the debate was delete. It should also be known that the newly improved search functions allow a user to get to William Hart (actor) quite swiftly should the space be omitted.  bibliomaniac 1  5  02:47, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Implausible typo in name of page Snowman (talk) 15:03, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * ' Speedy delete with R3. Delete' as an implausible typo -- Magioladitis (talk) 18:00, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Question Does R3's "recently created" apply to a page created over 2 years ago? UnitedStatesian (talk) 22:51, 23 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. Plausible typo. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 18:46, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - too old for R3, but this is a probable typo (people forget a space before the left parenthesis with some regularity). For this reason, it is a useful redirect and should be kept. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 19:49, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Without a doubt a useful redirect: I've missed spaces like this rather often. Nyttend (talk) 22:30, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Are we going to keep every redirect that lacks spaces? What's the chance someone types the actor's name, forgetting the space and adding "(actor)" next to the name? The search box helps to avoid these problems. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:01, 25 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Similar to Rent (musical boelow, this is apparently the ONLY redirect missing a space. If it were recently created, it would be deleted under R3 no problem; this is not the kind of redirect that R3's recently created carveout was designed to keep. UnitedStatesian (talk) 14:45, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete unless we plan to add several thousand similarly structured typos. - Jmabel | Talk 20:56, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete:As per the rationale stated at Rent (musical deletion below. -- KnowledgeHegemony  talk 12:30, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

(Smt) Sharda Sinha → Sharda Sinha
<div class="boilerplate mfd" style="background:#FFEEDD; margin-top:0.5em; padding:0 10px 0 10px; border:1px solid #888888;">The result of the debate was Delete. Ruslik (talk) 08:13, 3 December 2008 (UTC) <span id="(Smt) Sharda Sinha" >

Procedural. Redirect was prodded. Rockfang (talk) 03:14, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Reason for PRO-D given was ''Smt is equivalent of Mrs (or Madame in French). Placing it in and prefixing to the name is not required. This is one and only biography entry in Wikipedia that has (Smt) prefix. Hence delete''. VasuVR ( talk,  contribs ) 06:09, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It should be noted (per WP:PROD) that redirects are not to be prodded, but to be taken here instead if speedy deletion is not an option. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 19:58, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete:Yes Smt is another term for Mrs. in Hindi. Useless redirect. -- KnowledgeHegemony  talk 12:28, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Template:Heroescharacterbox → Template:Heroes character box
<div class="boilerplate mfd" style="background:#FFEEDD; margin-top:0.5em; padding:0 10px 0 10px; border:1px solid #888888;">The result of the debate was Delete. Ruslik (talk) 08:11, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

What's the reason for that? Magioladitis (talk) 02:05, 23 November 2008 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Keep seems feasible enough. If nothing else it preserves history, as the template probably started out with the bunched-up name. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 02:17, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete There is no history; it is all in the target. UnitedStatesian (talk) 02:28, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Rent (musical → Rent (musical)
<div class="boilerplate mfd" style="background:#FFEEDD; margin-top:0.5em; padding:0 10px 0 10px; border:1px solid #888888;">The result of the debate was Delete. Magioladitis (talk) 12:54, 2 December 2008 (UTC) <span id="Rent (musical" >

Implausible typo UnitedStatesian (talk) 22:57, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't think it's that implausible. I've seen parentheses at the end of URLs get cut off before through no fault of the user. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 08:58, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - people forget right parentheses all the time. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 19:49, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Then why is this apparently the ONLY redirect in all of WP that has an open parenthesis? Those that happen to be created are deleted under CSD:R3 all the time; this one was simply missed while R3's "recently created" expired. UnitedStatesian (talk) 03:17, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete, unless someone proposes adding several thousand similar redirects. - Jmabel | Talk 21:00, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete:People tend to make all kinds of errors. You can't have a redirect for every damn typo. -- KnowledgeHegemony  talk 12:27, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
