December 29
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on December 29, 2009

Hum. Mutat.
The result of the discussion was Delete ~ Amory ( u  •  t  •  c ) 04:10, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * → John Wiley & Sons (links to redirect • [ history] • )

Delete. Entirely unhelpful redirect for Human Mutation (an academic journal, not yet created). It makes sense to redirect to publisher when they are small publishers strongly associated with the journal, but JW&S is a publishing giant with hundreds if not thousands of journals. Headbomb {{{sup|ταλκ}}κοντριβς – WP Physics} 21:08, 29 December 2009 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'

久下季哉
The result of the discussion was Speedy Deleted G1 by. Tavix | Talk  21:59, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * → United Airlines Flight 93 (links to redirect • [ history] • )

Foreign language redirect that has no use in the English Wikipedia. Tavix | Talk  18:51, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Speedy delete as nonsense. There is no "93" in that redirect, and GoogleTranslate can't make something other than gibberish out of it. 76.66.197.17 (talk) 05:10, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Deleting this as "patent nonsense" was wrong. The redirect is on-topic: As a short Google search tells you, this is the name of a Japanese passenger of the flight (Kuge Toshiya). See also United 93 (film). Now I am not certain that we should have redirects for every passenger of that flight, but I think the Japanese ones are just as appropriate as the American ones. —Кузьма討論 08:12, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Delta operated by Northwest Flight 253
The result of the discussion was Delete ~ Amory ( u  •  t  •  c ) 04:10, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * → Northwest Airlines Flight 253 (links to redirect • [ history] • )

Delete as an implausible search term. Both Delta Flight 253 and Northwest Flight 253 work as redirects so I don't see why we need to specify this information, especially when it should be the other way around. (Northwest is a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta). Tavix | Talk  18:48, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete for an overly long, incorrect, and oddly specific term. - Chromatikoma (talk) 01:58, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, at least for now. This was how CNN was referring to the flight the day of the incident. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 07:16, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Implausible, unhelpful. We have an internal search engine to perform this work. YouWillBeAssimilated (talk) 06:45, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

People's names put in quotation marks. What a bizarre and implausible concept. Furthermore, surrounding a name in quotation marks in Wikipedia search will turn up the same result anyway (for example, "United States" will turn up United States). (NOTE: Every article on this list is the name of a person, and the quotation marks are not around their nickname, but simply around their name in general, and around their entire name.) — The Man in Question (in question)  10:34, 29 December 2009 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Keep all, harmless, plausible type-in URLs. —Кузьма討論 10:37, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete all as implausible. Why would someone want or need to type in a person's full name in quotation marks? Tavix | Talk  18:52, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete all What proposer says is true. WP will find the topic whether or not you enclose the term in quotation marks, so these redirects are of no value. Yappy2bhere (talk) 07:31, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete all Implausible and useless. Reywas92 Talk 21:38, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete all. They have no utility whatsoever. If someone inputs names in quotes it will take them to the pages anyway even without the redirects. YouWillBeAssimilated (talk) 06:42, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

"Willie" William Lidstone McKnight
The result of the discussion was Delete ~ Amory ( u  •  t  •  c ) 04:10, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * → Willie McKnight (links to redirect • [ history] • )

Inappropriately worded redirect. Nicknames never go in front, in or out of Wikipedia. — The Man in Question (in question)  09:29, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Agree, the article title in question should be framed as William "Willie" Lidstone McKnight. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 12:11, 29 December 2009 (UTC).
 * Keep though Wikipedia does not place nicknames first, it does not mean that no one does. 76.66.197.17 (talk) 05:46, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It is not proper English, nor is it similar to any proper form in English. — The Man in Question (in question)  05:57, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete It's true, nicknames never come first. Yappy2bhere (talk) 07:28, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Implausible, unhelpful. Nicknames don't come first, and people don't input searches like this, either. YouWillBeAssimilated (talk) 06:52, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

"reality" television show
The result of the discussion was Delete ~ Amory ( u  •  t  •  c ) 04:10, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * → Reality television (links to redirect • [ history] • )

Perhaps a critical commentary on the genre? Either way, a useless redirect because it is 1) implausible and 2) immaterial since Reality television will be the first result even if quotation marks are included in search. — The Man in Question (in question)  09:06, 29 December 2009 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination.

 * Delete. Implausible, unhelpful. YouWillBeAssimilated (talk) 06:53, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

"illegal" rezident
The result of the discussion was Delete ~ Amory ( u  •  t  •  c ) 04:10, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * → Resident spy (links to redirect • [ history] • )

Poor use of quotation marks + misspelled word = implausible redirect. — The Man in Question (in question)  09:02, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Keep Illegal rezident (Google Books) is not misspelt - I believe it is Russian in origin though it may now have been (improperly?) anglicised. Likewise the quotation marks are commonly applied in references (and on Wiki - see What links here page) They are applied to contrast with legal rezident CyrilThePig4 (talk) 10:51, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * If it is Russian, then it's worth noting that Russian can be transcribed a variety of different ways. — The Man in Question (in question)  22:41, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - article (unreferenced) does not use quotations. But quotatiosn superfluous in any event. GraemeLeggett (talk) 12:04, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per GraemeLeggett Yappy2bhere (talk) 05:56, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Hairy hardon → Ubuntu (operating system) (links to redirect • [ history] • )

DELETE please. Sorry, I don't get the joke here. No mention is made within the parent article. JBsupreme (talk) 07:36, 29 December 2009 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete. While I do get the joke, this is potentially misleading. Erection would be a better target. —Кузьма討論 10:39, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't think such a joke should be used to exclusively redirect to that article. Erection would be a better target then that, and even then it would still be bad.-- Stinging Swarm  talk 09:14, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete this and all other quotation mark errors here on RFD. Reywas92 <b style="color:#45E03A;">Talk</b> 21:39, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Suppertime - "I Got My" appears to be some sort of musical composition by this Static Major. However, searching for it without quotation marks will take you to Suppertime, Static Major's debut album in which "I Got My" presumably appeared in. Individual songs are often written with quotation marks around them, for on Wikipedia itself, so I think this search term is plausible enough to keep. Well, not keep, retarget. But you know what I mean, Lord Spongefrog,  (I am Czar of all Russias!)  11:15, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I think that with the quotation marks, it doesn't matter if there's some place it can be retargered. It simply shouldn't be kept. — The Man in Question (in question)  20:59, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Implausible search term. Subject's real name is Brendan Éamon "Paddy" FitzPatrick Finucane. Nicknames do not ever go in front, and the use of "(Irish)" at the end is just weird. — The Man in Question (in question)  01:17, 29 December 2009 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination.

No mention in target article. Anyone searching for this will find no information here. — The Man in Question (in question)  00:07, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete No relevant content, no redirect. Yappy2bhere (talk) 05:46, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - I think this might (and this is only a might) be something to do with exported goods. According to this source, "Occupied Japan" was printed on pottery, porcelain, toys etc. which was made in Japan during it's occupation by America in the 40's and 50's. Still, I think the "figurine part" is too obscure and unlikely a search term, and Occupation of Japan (as far as I can see) gives no information on the subject, Lord Spongefrog,  (I am Czar of all Russias!)  11:38, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

No mention in target article. — The Man in Question (in question)  00:01, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The redirect's history shows that it used to be an article, which was redirected instead of just being deleted under CSD A7. Probably not worth keeping, but I don't see it doing any harm. —Кузьма討論 10:42, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete It wasn't an article for more than a minute or two. The harm in redirecting to an article that doesn't mention the search term is the time wasted reading the article looking for the term, then the time wasted re-reading the article more carefully looking for the term that surely must be in there somewhere, then the time wasted cursing Wikipedia for wasting your time. Yappy2bhere (talk) 05:38, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - I did a Google search with both redirect and target article, and I think the "Shhh Zone" is some sort of area within the library. There's a connection between the two, but it's not really a plausible search term, Lord Spongefrog,  (I am Czar of all Russias!)  11:33, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
