 * Retarget gets about an average of 30 or so per month dips to 20 at times peaks around 60. I think those numbers are sinificant enough for a redirect Ottawa4ever (talk) 20:31, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

November 9, 1985
The result of the discussion was Retarget to 1985, although a larger discussion would indeed be useful. ~ Amory ( u •  t  •  c ) 19:26, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * → 1985 in music (links to redirect • [ history] • )

Propose deletion. There's nothing significant said about that date in the target article, nor was there any sourced material about the original creater's claim about it's the most Metal albums released in one day. Mistakefinder (talk) 16:27, 23 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete, if anything it should redirect to the year, not specifically it in music. But even in that state it seems silly to have navigational aids for every date in history pointing to year articles. --Taelus (talk) 16:30, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the year; I can understand trying to look up a specific date. --Cyber cobra (talk) 22:01, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Retarget to 1985. I would suggest retargetting to November 1985 but that itself is a redirect to 1985. I can see the benefit in having redirects from every specific day, certainly from the 20th Century to the current day, to the relevant month or year article. A very few days will merit redirects elsewhere, e.g. September 11, 2001, February 3, 1959, November 11, 1918, July 4, 1776, etc. Thryduulf (talk) 13:38, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete, I agree with Thryduulf's suggestions about those major dates that are significant in world events, including November 9, 1989 (not sure if this exists), but it seems silly to have ever single date in the 20th century to have a redirect. If we agree that it is to be done, then it'd become a big project and a rather low value one at that. Anyone looking for a specfic date can simply look in the year for the date they're looking for (unless they don't know what year). Besides, doesn't every day of the year have an entry? Someone searching for a specific date with year may often have the year wrong, so it may be helpful to redirect to the Day of Year entry (in this case, November 9 to help confirm the year or discover her/his mistake. In the case of September 11, a disambiguation link has been provided to the September 11, 2001 attacks. I guess the question is what constitutes signficant date in history. I'd say any date that is significant to the whold world, a continent, a large geographic region, or major contribution to knowledge or technology. For example the invention of the automobile, internet (if any one date can be pinned to that), the release of the first PC or Windows, etc. I'd say mainly for geopolitical events though. --Mistakefinder (talk) 00:03, 25 January 2010 (UTC)--Mistakefinder (talk) 00:03, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * We should probably be having the discussion about which dates merit redirects elsewhere (I'm not sure where though - feel free to start such a discussion and link to it here), but of the dates I used as examples February 3, 1959 relates to western popular music/popular culture, while all the others are geopolitical events. Anything that cannot be tied down to a specific significant date (e.g. invention of the motorcar was), or where the common knowledge isn't of a specific year (for example in Britain the Gunpowder Plot and 5 November are inextricably associated with one another, but the year in which is happened is not nearly as widely known, so November 5, 1605 (or 5 November 1605) should not redirect there). We also need to try and be NPOV in what we include, so for example if there is an equivalent of February 3, 1959 in say Russian popular culture we should allow that. Independence days get tricky - while the USA's was a significant international event (at least looking back at it from a modern perspective), can the same be said of 6 March 1957 when Ghana declared its independence? The partition of Ireland in 1922 was very significant, but does the specific day retain significance in popular knowledge? What about natural disasters - December 26, 2004 currently redirects to December 2004 on the same day a language-use survey was published in China and in the Ukraine it was the day of the run-off vote in the presidential election - are these as significant? The 1989 listing contains only one entry for October 17, 1989 should this redirect to the article about the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake? January 12, 2009 has lots of entries, is the Haiti earthquake the most significant? I don't know the answers here. Thryduulf (talk) 01:00, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep John Sydney McCain III as a plausible misspelling and delete the rest as implausible (I declined R3 taggings on two of these on the grounds that they're not recently created). I'm also tempted to create John Sydney McCain as probably even more likely, but I'll wait for the outcome of this RfD in case anyone wants to comment on that too.

 * very strong keep - this is the phrase that is displayed in articles to which the template is applied, therefore it is very likely to be used by someone who has seen it on other articles. Thryduulf (talk) 15:52, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, makes perfect sense to me, I think I may have even used it in the past. Whilst this may not see widespread use, it is beneficial to new users. We don't want to get to the point where new users have to sit learning lots of specific terms because we have deleted the intuitive options. --Taelus (talk) 16:32, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

I have never heard Kenneth Clarke referred to with the name Harry, ever. I doubt anyone ever has.

 * Delete as an implausible search term, combining an abbreviated honorific and full personal name. Ken Clarke, as he is perhaps best known, does not routinely use his middle name. Thryduulf (talk) 15:42, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Unless I'm failing to see something obvious, this is complete nonsense. No links. — the Man in Question (in question)  01:49, 23 January 2010 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Look at your keyboard- HP^ is what you get if you don't lay off the shift key trying to type HP6, which redirects to the Half-Blood Prince article, which is the 6th Harry Potter book. HP! should redirect to HP1, but the others seem plausible enough to me. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 03:01, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect HP! to the dab page HP1 and mark with R from mispelling then redirect the others to HP(number here) and create dab pages at those locations. 76.66.192.206 (talk) 06:42, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * All right, so there is a deeper meaning. Nonetheless, I find them entirely superfluous, a persuasion only ameliorated by the fact that the books aren't actually called HP1, HP2, etc., and that anyone who accidentally types HP!, HP@, etc., will see their mistake and type the correct term in the search box. — the Man in Question (in question)  04:41, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Redirects from HP1 etc, kind of make sense, but these are very unlikely to be useful. Jafeluv (talk) 09:08, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Apparently the name of a fan site. The deathly hallows have little to do with Hogwarts, and are never referred to by any such name.

Improbable and poorly spaced. Looks more like a convention than a book title. — the Man in Question (in question)  01:38, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

All implausible misspellings or paraphrases that redirect to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. None of these were working titles or rumored titles. — the Man in Question (in question)  01:26, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Keep the following: Harry Potter and the Relics of Death, Harry Potter and the Insignia of Death, Harry Potter and the Gifts of Death since they are official translations of the title in other languages (retranslated back into English; see Harry_Potter_and_the_Deathly_Hallows). Delete the rest. --<b style="color:#3773A5;">Cyber</b> cobra (talk) 10:29, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Are translations of foreign names valid redirects? That seems in contradiction with "Redirects from foreign languages". — the Man in Question (in question)  23:16, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * That's merely an essay and does not appear to apply to this particular case. TL;DR wrt the discussion page. I personally see no problem with the redirects in question; they're completely plausible, just not heavily used. --<b style="color:#3773A5;">Cyber</b> cobra (talk) 11:13, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Right you are (about the essay), and I should have worded it more clearly. What I'm really getting at is that I can't imagine why anyone would translate a name from a foreign language and then search it here, especially when the name belongs to a series. — the Man in Question (in question)  19:32, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I could see a fansite / magazine mentioning them and thus prompting someone to Wikipedia them. Again, not likely, but certainly possible; they are entirely official, and they aren't misspellings/typos, unlike the other redirects up for deletion. --<b style="color:#3773A5;">Cyber</b> cobra (talk) 19:59, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, well, if a fansite/magazine is mentioning them, then the reader already knows the proper name. — the Man in Question (in question)  05:33, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Harry Potter and the Deathly Hall, Harry Potter and the Deathly Halls, Harry potter and the Relics of the Dead, HarryPotterandtheDeathlyHallows, Harry Potter and the Relics of Death, Harry Potter and the Insignia of Death, Harry Potter and the Gifts of Death. Delete the rest. The ones I highlighted are plausible search terms in my eyes, and may exist as inbound external links. The last three as pointed out are translations, CamalCase redirects do no harm and may be used externally, Deathly Hall is a plausible search term, as is Deathly Halls, as I can see them being used. This nomination may benefit from unbundling as this could get complicated if each respondant keeps some deletes the rest. --Taelus (talk) 12:03, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Is there any evidence people link using CamelCase? I'm skeptical. --<b style="color:#3773A5;">Cyber</b> cobra (talk) 13:49, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Well we used to be forced to use CamelCase, although that was a long time ago. I can imagine external websites utilising them however, and I see no harm in keeping one so that all versions of capitalisation are able to be used as search terms. --Taelus (talk) 16:35, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Regardless of whether the Hall and Halls redirects are plausible (which I'm not really seeing), anyone who begins to type the name in the search box will be immediately provided with the link to the correct page. — the Man in Question (in question)  23:16, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep there are several articles linking to this redirect. It will have to be bypassed if deleted.  I suspect it will affect the readability of the articles too. Josh Parris 09:40, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The links were only used in infoboxes as clarification directly after a fully linked "Erin Hunter", and I just went through and replaced "Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry" with "Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry", with no detriment to readability.

 * I don't have an opinion about this particular redirect, but I frequently type "(disambiguation)" in search queries where I suspect that the usage of a term I'm after is not the primary topic and I don't know what the dismabiguator used is. This is actually more common than the description makes it sound. Thryduulf (talk) 20:39, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete as a violation of the WP:Disambiguation guideline for naming pages and redirects. Anything with "(disambiguation)" ought only point at a disambiguation page. Josh Parris 09:42, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment if you look at the history of the article, at the end of 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Erin_Hunter&oldid=257785890 it was a disambiguation page. Someone turned it into an article. Someone created this redirect in late 2007, so for over a year, it was a dab page... 76.66.192.206 (talk) 04:00, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Reply: Yes, but the page changed so much that we couldn't really count it as a disambiguation anymore.  Bramble  claw  x   15:06, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment how about moving the former dab pages content onto the redirect? 70.29.210.242 (talk) 04:11, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Reply Its not a dab anymore, so the disambiguation in the title would be misleading.  Bramble  claw  x   19:13, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * That is not what I meant, I meant the dab page (oldid 257785890) 70.29.210.242 (talk) 06:05, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Because the dab page is now unnecessary.  Bramble  claw  x   23:12, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Keep to avoid breaking incoming links (WP:RFD). It was a dab page for over a year; mirrors and other outside sources don't change their links instantaneously with Wikipedia. In addition, editors and other readers sometimes click links while looking at obsolete versions of articles. Keeping the redirect maintains the "user friendliness" of Wikipedia. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 17:56, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
