January 12
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on January 12, 2009

Maggie (TV series → Maggie (TV series)


The result of the discussion was Delete, taking into account that article has been moved to the right title immediately after creation--Tikiwont (talk) 09:13, 20 January 2009 (UTC) Delete - malformed and unnecessary redirect. Otto4711 (talk) 19:48, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Very strong keep This redirect was created becuase someone typed in that and accidently left out the final bracket. It's fairly obvious where they want to be taken if they type that into the search box, so keep.-- Patton t / c 21:56, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * As we now have prompted searching, with this deleted anyone typing Maggie (TV will get Maggie (TV series) as their only prompt. How is this redirect useful in any possible way given that fact? Otto4711 (talk) 00:19, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete As per Otto4711, the existence of malformed search terms that are just one character short of completion (e.g. Michae[l], Jea[n], High Schoo[l], etc.) would lead us in the direction of keeping every possible search string. As it is, with this re-direct in place we almost encourage people to select the malformed heading. --RCEberwein | Talk 20:19, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Harmless enough, but it might start a chain of not quite complete redirects. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 19:39, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was Deleted. Proposal didn't succeed. Redirecting to an archived discussion has the potential to confuse folks. The current title implies it exists. -- JLaTondre (talk) 13:24, 22 January 2009 (UTC) No longer listed on proposals page. No history worth saving, project was long since declined.

 * Can't seem to find it in the archives, which is strange. Is the proposal still accessible? This, that and the other &#x5B;talk&#x5D; 06:09, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Doesn't seem to be, I tried looking too. Maybe it got blipped out. Either way, it should be deleted. Maybe G6? Found it:  Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 20:44, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

 * It seems to me that this proposal should have been archived under WikiProject Council/Proposals/Archive 1 or successor, but wasn't. If someone cares to fix that and there is a general practice to keep a redirect for rejected proposal, we could keep it. --Tikiwont (talk) 09:36, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
