 * The result of the discussion was Keep. Non-admin closure. — The Man in Question  (in question)  06:13, 23 December 2009 (UTC)


 * → Naming law in Sweden (links to redirect • [ history] • )

Delete consensus in recent AfD for delete not redirect. also very unlikely search term. LibStar (talk) 23:14, 16 December 2009 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Keep I can certainly see a situation where someone would come across this name somewhere else and search for it on Wikipedia for more information. faithless   (speak)  07:32, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, searches will end up at the target anyway, and the redirect stops people from writing an article about the person. Can't see any advantages of deletion. — Kusma talk 09:35, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep definitely a target by cut and paste. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 20:27, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Redirects which point to list entries are quite standard per WP:REDIRECT. The supposition that no-one will search for this seems quite erroneous.  If you look at the stats from the past such as September, you will see that the name gets lots of hits and has a remarkably high rank.  Colonel Warden (talk) 18:45, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Faithless. — The Man in Question (in question)  00:10, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - this seems exactly something that might be searched for. Pseudomonas(talk) 18:35, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Tony "Mommy" Eggmonterorer
The result of the discussion was retarget Tony "Mommy" Eggmonteror to Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography and delete Tony "Mommy" Eggmonterorer (misspelling). –B LACK F ALCON  (T ALK ) 22:53, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

 * → List of A Series of Unfortunate Events characters (links to redirect • [ history] • )

No mention in target article. Only three and twelve pageviews in November, respectively. Anyone searching Google for information on this topic will not find it on Wikipedia. — The Man in Question (gesprec)  ·  (forðung)  19:33, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * One of these has some history, but what about retargetting to either Animals in A Series of Unfortunate Events or Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography? Personally I prefer the latter since it is currently more useful, but I'm not sure that information is going to last. ~ Amory ( u  •  t  •  c ) 16:28, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * If the autobiography ever becomes a Good Article or better, it will undoubtedly lose the "Hidden Anagrams" section in the process, as you've suggested. Honestly, it seems so trivial. I understand the worries about page history, but still…especially the first (Tony "Mommy" Eggmonterorer), which is not notable, not mentioned in the target article, and not spelled correctly at all. Some editors have frowned on my use of analogies before, but still, it's like creating a Billy Ray Cryrus redirect to List of 30 Rock characters or something. It just makes you say, "What?" — The Man in Question  (in question)  20:29, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, –B LACK F ALCON  (T ALK ) 22:58, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * 'either retarget, or add the character to the target article Upgrade rather than downgrade. There should be a link for every named character in a more than ordinarily notable fiction to the fiction, or to some subpage of it.   DGG ( talk ) 02:51, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * According to what? — The Man in Question (in question)  06:17, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete as nominator. "Tony 'Mommy' Eggmonteror" is not a character in the series. It is an anagram of the name of the author of a fictional book appearing in a supplementary book to the series. Articles should ideally contain third-party published sources. There are no such sources that mention "Tony 'Mommy' Eggmonteror", and never are there likely to be any. "Tony 'Mommy' Eggmonterorer" is a misspelling of this unnotable aspect of the series. — The Man in Question (in question)  07:10, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

TSOTL
The result of the discussion was delete. –B LACK F ALCON  (T ALK ) 22:44, 24 December 2009 (UTC)


 * → The Shock of the Lightning (links to redirect • [ history] • )

Initials for a target of inerest to a limited subculture. May cause confusion with other subjects that happen to share the same or similar initials. No indication that any existing subject is referred to by these initials enough to justify creation of a disambiguation page. --Allen3 talk 21:06, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Dabify. Neutral. Could dabify between The Silence of the Lambs, The Shock of the Lightning, The Song of the Lioness, The Sword of the Lord, and (The) Spirit of the Land. Other things which share these initials include The Scuffle of the Legends, The Secret of the League, The Shadow of the Lion, The Story of Three Loves, The Sinking of the Lusitania, The Song of the Lark, The Sword of the Lictor, and the spirit of the law—but I don't know if anyone ever abbreviates these "TSOTL". — The Man in Question (in question)  00:56, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete; can cause confusion and will not produce a useful disambiguation page (unless reliable sources show such terms to be in widespread use). — Kusma talk 12:13, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep, typos are one of the reasons for having redirects. It seems plausible enough. --Taelus (talk) 11:40, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as above. LibStar (talk) 02:54, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
