2010-11 A1 Grand Prix season



 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.


 * The result of the discussion was Keep. Useful information in the target, as pointed out, could inform readers.  Just because it doesn't exist doesn't mean it isn't worth mentioning. ~ Amory ( u  •  t  •  c ) 03:31, 29 March 2010 (UTC)


 * → A1 Grand Prix (links to redirect • [ history] • )

Delete. 2009-10 season was cancelled and series assets broken up and sold. Future seasons will not now be held. --Falcadore (talk) 20:48, 19 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. The section linked at the target article claims that the actual circumstances are a bit more complicated than this. I think it's reasonable for anyone searching for information on a possible future season to be redirected to the information we have on the matter. — Gavia immer (talk) 00:28, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Strong Delete. Completely irrelevant now the series does not exist anymore. Jonathan McLeod (talk) 14:56, 26 March 2010 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Keep, were I a fan of the A1 Grand Prix and wondering why I hadn't heard of it in a while, I could reasonably look up the current season, and via this redirect find the answer. Yes, the series has indeed been cancelled but it's a reasonable enough search term. ~ mazca  talk 13:16, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Redirects from mainspace to userspace. ScienceApologist (talk) 16:58, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Speedy delete CSD R2 as a redirect from mainspace to user space. Tagged. B.Wind (talk) 18:27, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was delete. An abbreviation of a very uncommon nickname, consensus here is that it's not worth a redirect. ~ mazca  talk 13:18, 27 March 2010 (UTC)


 * → New Kids on the Block (links to redirect • [ history] • )

Another useless redirect, from the unlikely acronym for "New Skids on the Jock" or something like that (see below). Drmies (talk) 06:05, 19 March 2010 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete, I can't find any evidence that "NSOTJ" has ever been used to refer to NKotB except in this redirect.  Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 06:44, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - an apparent prank redirect - a google search of "NSOTJ Kids" (no quotation marks) yield only 61 hits, mostly catalog numbers and assorted abbreviations; the only ones connecting NSOTJ and NKOTB are this entry, this page, and pages on DBpedia. B.Wind (talk) 16:50, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

New skids on the jock



 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.


 * The result of the discussion was delete. A very uncommon derogatory nickname, not widely used enough to justify a redirect that was obviously a prank to start with. ~  mazca  talk 13:20, 27 March 2010 (UTC)


 * → New Kids on the Block (links to redirect • [ history] • )

This is a really, really unlikely "search term" for New Kids on the Block, as this Google search suggests. Drmies (talk) 05:51, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

I beg to differ, as this was a common nickname for NKOTB back in the day, and many of the articles in the google search above refer to NKOTB.--Jax 0677 (talk) 05:57, 19 March 2010 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * No it was not a common nickname, and there aren't any reliable sources among those hits. Drmies (talk) 06:04, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, joke/hoax.  Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 06:46, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per discussions here and for NSOTJ above. B.Wind (talk) 16:55, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

 * → List of school pranks (links to redirect • [ history] • )

Delete. Unsourced prank, not in target article. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 03:58, 19 March 2010 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete, unless it can be included and sourced in the target article there isn't much use in directing people there. Not a helpful redirect. ~ mazca  talk 13:12, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Russians in India

 * → Central Asia (links to redirect • [ history] • )

Delete --- the redirect title has almost nothing to do with the target article. Central Asia is a large region including only a small portion of modern-day India, and Russia's historical influence in the region was not concentrated in India anyway. The title also promotes confusion, since all other articles/redirects in the form Russians in Xland discuss migration of actual Russian people. cab (talk) 00:24, 19 March 2010 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete. If there's actually a significant Russian population in India, then this can probably be sourced and formed into an actual article - in that case, a redlink is preferable. If there isn't, then randomly redirecting people to a very loosely related article helps nobody. In either case it's better to have a redlink / search result page rather than this singularly unhelpful redirect. ~ mazca  talk 13:14, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
