Really confusing since Talkpageheader redirects to Talk header. Either delete or retarget. I suggest to do the first since we have a lot of redirects to talk header. Even Talkpageheader is a bit useless. Magioladitis (talk) 23:16, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete or retarget (I created said redirect) per nom. This redirect is the result of a move.  Speedy may apply because I'm the "author" of this redirect.  -- Thin  boy  00  @671, i.e. 15:06, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Retarget to Talk header 76.66.192.35 (talk) 05:33, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Mediation (biology)
The result of the discussion was delete. –B LACK F ALCON  (T ALK ) 23:03, 16 December 2009 (UTC)


 * → Mediator (coactivator) (links to redirect • [ history] • )

I think this redirect is based on a misunderstanding. The word mediation is widely used in biology for its usual meaning, is doesn't have a special meaning to do with the mediator. (so delete) Narayanese (talk) 16:09, 5 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, which is essentially the same reason I gave for prodding this when it was a stub . Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 15:05, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Boxxy
The result of the discussion was Keep ~ Amory ( u  •  t  •  c ) 00:04, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * → List of Internet phenomena (links to redirect • [ history] • )

Nothing in the target list about Boxxy, highly unlikely there will be in future, article deleted at AFD, this redirect is just confusing for people searching for the term "Boxxy". Closedmouth (talk) 13:48, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * There is a sentence at List_of_Internet_phenomena. I would rather have one sentence and a redirect here, than have a Google search for Boxxy start with Encyclopedia Dramatica and some stalker blog. --Apoc2400 (talk) 01:33, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yay, somebody added that after I nominated this. :-/ --Closedmouth (talk) 03:23, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Re-added, actually; it was removed in this edit after having been on this list for since February. As a side note, I'm not sure that edit was much good in general. ÷seresin 05:47, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Esmeralda Squalor
The result of the discussion was delete as the nomination was not contested. –B LACK F ALCON  (T ALK ) 23:06, 16 December 2009 (UTC)


 * → Esmé Squalor (links to redirect • [ history] • )

This simply is not the character's name. It would be like creating the redirect Thomas Bombadil to Tom Bombadil, or Tabitha cat to tabby cat, only with a much less common name that is not even the full form of the name to which it purports to belong. (While "Esmé" may be used by some as a nickname for "Esmeralda", the names are not etymologically connected.) Anyone who has read the books will furthermore be familiar with the fact that Esmé Squalor summarily introduces herself by her full name—Esmé Gigi Geniveve Squalor. Not helping anyone. Perhaps even Speedy Delete per WP:G3. — The Man in Question (gesprec)  ·  (forðung)  02:26, 5 December 2009 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
