Cross-namespace redirect from article to category. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 18:47, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Keep for a number of reasons. First, there's a huge amount of history on this article that we shouldn't lose and which seems potentially useful and or even has been used on the category page. Second, I don't share the allergy that some people have about CNRs. They should be avoided in general but purging them is not necessary. Third, this gets a bunch of traffic. This has been around for a long time and people are using it. Fourth, it quite obviously goes to the correct place. It's helpful. — m a k o ๛  01:26, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

YES or NO! Tsunade's answer
The result of the discussion was Withdrawn. -- JLaTondre (talk) 14:17, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
 * → List of Naruto episodes (seasons 3–4) (links to redirect)
 * → List of Naruto episodes (seasons 3–4) (links to redirect)

There is no third or fourth season Naruto episode called "Yes or NO! Tsunade's answer." These redirects are nonsense; they should be deleted. Neelix (talk) 18:44, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I am not sure it is nonesnse since it could be a English translation of the Japanese title. That title would YES ka NO ka! Tsunade no kaitō" (YESかNOか!ツナデの回答). Now wheether or not we need and english translation of the Japanese title may be questionable but I don't think this or the redirect above is a nonsense redirect. Also looking it was originally an article created in November 2006 and the dub episode aired June 2007. Once again I don't know if we need to keep and english translation of a Japanese title but this is not nonsense.--70.24.178.75 (talk) 01:05, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep -- This seems to be a translation of an episode's title that a bunch of anime communities have used to refer to the Japanese title. If you search for the redirect title you get loads of hits to pages discussing the episode in question. This seems like a very plausible search term and should be kept. — m a k o ๛  14:57, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn - Thank you for pointing out that this is a possible translation of an episode title. Neelix (talk) 19:48, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Conservative Party of the United States
The result of the discussion was Deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 14:19, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
 * → Republican Party (United States) (links to redirect)

Misleading: the Republican Party has never been known by this name. Should be deleted or maybe retargeted to Conservative Party of New York. – Hysteria18 (Talk • Contributions) 16:30, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Note: I've had a look at whatlinkshere and found that there is one more similar redirect: so this should be deleted too. --Deyh (talk) 15:54, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * → Republican Party (United States) (links to redirect)

'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete both. Not an alternative name of the party. Deyh (talk) 15:54, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete -- (a) The redirects goes to the wrong place. (b) There is no right place. (c) The redirect as stands is likely to confuse people more than it is to help. — m a k o ๛  01:27, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete both per nom and Mako. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:02, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Egyptian Wikipedia
The result of the discussion was Kept. -- JLaTondre (talk) 14:20, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
 * → Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia (links to redirect)

Delete unnecessarily misleading redirect. The Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia is written in Egyptian Arabic language. Since versions of Wikipedia are named after the languages they are written in, calling it "Egyptian Wikipedia" might give the impression that it's written in Egyptian language, which is not the case. Deyh (talk) 09:47, 23 October 2009 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Keep -- Redirects don't need to be correct. One important thing they do is take confused people to articles that then help illuminate the issue at hand and that speak directly to the confusion. We don't hold redirects to the same standards that we hold article names. This seems like a solid example of this phenomena. Someone looking for Egyptian Wikipedia is almost certainly be looking for this article. — m a k o ๛  01:20, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - while most of the wikipedias are named for the languages in which the articles are written, "Egyptian Wikipedia" can also be interpreted as referring to the country of Egypt (before anybody claims that this is a justification for deletion, it is fact a demonstration of the usefulness of the redirect). 147.70.242.54 (talk) 17:08, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

 * → Efforts to impeach George W. Bush (links to redirect)

This is a mouthful. Completely unnecessary. RWR8189 (talk) 04:23, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. This is of no use to anyone and will never be used by anyone. — Gavia immer (talk) 04:55, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. As above. Cs-wolves  (talk)  19:19, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete -- As per nominator and because gets basically no traffic. It's not just unlikely to help anyone. It doesn't help anyone in practice. — m a k o ๛  01:21, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per all above. Efforts to impeach George W. Bush was once known by the title Actions and commentary within the public and private spheres tending towards support for the impeachment of George W. Bush ... but for only 17 minutes in March of 2007. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:07, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
