Deletion - the quotation marks make this a very unlikely search term Scog (talk) 15:09, 7 February 2010 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete per nom. This is not a quotation, so there is no need for quotation marks. Thryduulf (talk) 17:09, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per the above.  Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 00:27, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Per the nominator. Warrah (talk) 02:51, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per previous RfD consensus that redirects consisting of article names in quotation marks, when the article title isn't itself a quotation, are inappropriate. –Grondemar 03:56, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Quotation marks have no effect on the search function, Lord Spongefrog,   (I am Czar of all Russias!)  12:51, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Deletion (comma). Declined speedy delete because "not recently created"... Basilicofresco (msg) 09:32, 7 February 2010 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete - trailing comma makes it useless. Thryduulf (talk) 10:37, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, useless.  Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 11:31, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, absolutely no need for this. –Grondemar 03:53, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

 * 'Delete. Does not appear to serve any purpose. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 00:43, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. This was originally copied from Meta in 2005, and a page with this title still exists there, although it hasn't been touched since 2006 when it was placed in m:Category:Editor handbook (the redirect here is also in our Category:Editor handbook. The incomming links on meta are to m:Help:Redirect and the equivalent pages in French and Japanese. Following that link, we find the section that includes the link is m:Help:Redirect which states "Interwiki redirects and redirects to special pages have been disabled, try e.g. m:Help:Interwiki redirect demo and m:Help:Redirect to special page demo.", and indeed redirects to special pages do not work. The version of Help:Redirect on this project uses different phrasing to the meta vesion - "Note that a redirect will only work as intended [..] if the link is to an existing normal page (not a special page) on the same project (English Wikipedia)." and does not make use of these pages, but did do so until 24 December 2009 . As its usefulness has passed, and it can esily be recreated if need be, I think this can be deleted. Note, I've also added Help:Interwiki redirect demo to this nomination.
