September 19
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on September 19, 2008

Hop-by-hop → Onion routing
The result of the debate was Re-target to Hop-by-hop transport. -- JLaTondre (talk) 14:45, 27 September 2008 (UTC) Utterly useless redirect which points to an ostensibly unrelated article; seems to be a remnant of an attempt at an article on OR created in mid-2005 by a misguided user who didn't know the proper terminology. It should either be deleted or converted to disambig like End-to-end. 82.1.177.170 (talk) 22:59, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * speedy delete per nom. DiggyG (talk) 03:36, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 *  Speedy delete as meeting WP:CSD. 99.238.45.79 (talk) 02:15, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oops, forgot to log in, the above is me. By the way, I don't think it meets R3 anymore as it states Recently created... However, still delete as being implausible. Pie is good   (Apple is the best)  02:19, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Retarget to existing article Hop-by-hop transport. It can still be disambiguated later if seen fit.--Tikiwont (talk) 08:55, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Retarget per Tikiwont. Proposed target needs work on its citations, but it's a more logical landing than the original target article. 147.70.242.40 (talk) 18:56, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

CFB:OFFSEASON → WikiProject College football/Please Refrain from Spamming History AfDs during the season
The result of the debate was Delete the redirect left over after the move and update the shortcut reference. Tikiwont (talk) 08:22, 26 September 2008 (UTC) Redirect from the article namespace to a subpage of a Wikiproject.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 19:30, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Curious what would you recommend?--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:37, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as being an unplausible typo/misnomer. Pie is good   (Apple is the best)  20:47, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Not disagreeing but what would you recommend?--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:51, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Such redirects should begin with Wikipedia: and not have a colon anywhere else in their names. For example, Wikipedia:CFB-OFFSEASON (which will automatically create WP:CFB-OFFSEASON) would be fine.--  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 23:04, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * What would I recommend of what? I don't understand your question, but I don't agree with Blanchard as is isn't really that much shorter than the title of the target. Pie is good   (Apple is the best)  01:59, 22 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Should not be redirecting from mainspace to project space. -Djsasso (talk) 21:12, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. There are a whole bunch of redirects to that WikiProject that begin with CFB:. It's like it has a reserved namespace, which, of course, is not the case. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 23:04, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Response After thinking, I'm pretty sure that there is an editor in the project working on a bot to handle that and make the translation. I don't mind deleting, but can you hold off until his bot cycles through?--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:11, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as a cross-namespace redirect. For future ones, you should (if you haven't already) ask the project to just move them to some Wikipedia:xxx... location. Protonk (talk) 05:54, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, unneeded cross-namespace redirect --Church of emacs (Talk | Stalk) 13:37, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete So much "Wait, what?", so little time. Does any other Wikiproject create links like this (in a psuedo-name dedicated to itself) ?  Is this page really suggesting AfD stop for football half the year?  --Phirazo (talk) 03:19, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Response this is about the redirect itself, not the content of what is redirecting to...--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:31, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I know. The psuedo-namespace is the main reason I voted delete.  I was just commenting that the content at the target is strange and unreasonable. --Phirazo (talk) 17:46, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Boldly moved to WP:CFBOFFSEASON. Stifle (talk) 11:21, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * So we have the shortcut under discussion... to a page whose title needs to be discussed. The original name seems to be following a precedent (see MOS:DAB), albeit being a link to an essay rather than an editorial guideline. As it is mentioned as a boxed short cut on the target page, I'm inclined to recommend keeping the redirect as proposed. 147.70.242.40 (talk) 19:43, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The page move created a new cross-namespace redirect, so the problem remains whole. The newly-moved page should be kept, but the redirect at its old location should be deleted. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 20:43, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes it should. I think there's consensus here to do it. Stifle (talk) 09:04, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Doon Heritage Crossroads - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia → Doon Heritage Crossroads
The result of the debate was Speedy Delete. Lenticel ( talk ) 12:44, 19 September 2008 (UTC) This page was created through an editing blunder on my part. Can someone please zap it? Thanks.Kelisi (talk) 12:34, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I've replaced the content with the to show that you've requested deletion (under the speedy deletion criteria G7) - hopefully that will draw an admin's attention to it sooner.  Booglamay ( talk ) - 12:37, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Manele gratis → Manele
The result of the debate was Delete, taking into account that it had also been blanked once by the original creator.Tikiwont (talk) 08:59, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I know I'm the one who made it into a redirect.. A user created the page which consisted of one sentence and a link to the Manele article (see history), I made it into a redirect, But I'm questioning if even that is appropriate. Brougham96 (talk) 01:35, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

 * If you want to delete it 100% sure, you can tag it with db-author, but since you're not 100% sure, I want won't tag it as such. While I'm at it, delete as not being mentioned in target article. Pie is good   (Apple is the best)  20:49, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
