January 30
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on January 30, 2009

Marcia the Martian → Tiny Toon Adventures
The result of the discussion was retargeted to Marvin the Martian (non admin close) B.Wind (talk) 04:31, 6 February 2009 (UTC) Seems a bit of a stretch. All references to her were removed from Tiny Toon Adventures and List of characters in Tiny Toon Adventures since she was only a one-shot, and it seems kind of pointless to have a redirect that's not mentioned in the target.

 * Keep per GFDL (merge mentioned in links) and as these editors and these readers think it's a legitimate search term. Per WP:PRESERVE, redlinking is an extreme last resort, and there is no reason to do so at this point.  Sincerely, --A NobodyMy talk 21:11, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect instead to Marvin the Martian, which appears to be the only article in which the character is actually mentioned. Alternatively, delete per nom; unless I'm missing something, I don't see that any content from the article was ever merged to Tiny Toon Adventures or List of characters in Tiny Toon Adventures, so GFDL is not a concern. Deor (talk) 02:49, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * retarget to Marvin the Martian as that article mentions Marcia as being his apprentice. PaulJones (talk) 10:55, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Retargeting per above. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 20:25, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Sea kitten → People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
The result of the discussion was keep - with no suggestions to the contrary, closing per WP:SNOW (non admin close) B.Wind (talk) 06:45, 5 February 2009 (UTC) Promotional re-direct, used to advance agenda of political group. CalendarWatcher (talk) 11:50, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment Both Sea kitten and Sea kittens were originally created as redirects to fish. As there was no real evidence the neologism had fallen into common usage, they were redirected to the article on PETA, and later anchored to a section concerning PETA's campaign to give fish an image makeover.  While I appreciate there might be a NPOV problem had these redirects remained targeted at the article on fish, I'm not sure why we should rush to delete them as they currently stand – a quick look on Google News reveals third-party sources which cover the PETA campaign, so surely they function fine as redirects to sourceable info on PETA's recent activities? – The Parting Glass 12:07, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep the way it is. "Sea Kitten" links to a relevant section about the term on the PETA article here. Ryan 4314   (talk) 12:11, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Ryan4314. It is discussed neutrally in article. Mike R (talk) 15:41, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Valid redirect, is a likely enough search term and is mentioned in the target. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 21:06, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. I just encountered this term in a news article and typed it at Wikipedia in the hope of finding information about the PETA campaign.  No agenda is being advanced.  —David Levy 00:38, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

APBR School Gandipalem (1985-1991) → Gandipalem
The result of the discussion was Delete. Unlikely search term. Taking into account that APBR School Gandipalem (redirect) already exists, creation of another redirect with some arbitrary years in parentheses is an overkill. Ruslik (talk) 07:28, 5 February 2009 (UTC) 

Redirect for school to village exists. Redirects on a per-year-group basis are not necessary Mayalld (talk) 11:02, 30 January 2009 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of a RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete, I'm not even sure what this is supposed to be... Some persons time at the school? A period of school history? Usrnme h8er (talk) 15:04, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, highly unlikely search term. Terraxos (talk) 20:03, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
