Kerri price



 * 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 ~  Amory ( u  •  t  •  c ) 03:42, 6 June 2010 (UTC)


 * → Man-E-Faces (links to redirect • [ history] • )

This redirect does not appear to have anything to do with the target article. It may possibly have been a joke edit someone created so that when their friend typed in their own name, it would suggest that he or she had many faces. In any case, it should be deleted. Neelix (talk) 13:09, 29 May 2010 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete - I agree; seems a failed attempt at humour. Bridgeplayer (talk) 14:50, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete or Retarget to Carey Price as being much more plasuable.--76.66.180.142 (talk) 23:36, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Filosofy

 * The result of the discussion was Keep ~  Amory ( u  •  t  •  c ) 03:42, 6 June 2010 (UTC)


 * → Philosophy (links to redirect • [ history] • )

The intent appears that this is a mis-spelling. But it's completely implausible. ╟─ Treasury Tag ►  voice vote  ─╢ 11:39, 29 May 2010 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Keep - that diff was tidying up by a subsequent editor. The creator Monedula is still around from time to time so I have alerted him to the discussion. The RD gets over 100 hits per month so it is not totally improbable. Harmless. Bridgeplayer (talk) 14:39, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep "Filosofy" as a deliberate mispelling is not unknown (see, for example, Flapper Filosofy). It is not inconceivable that someone might see the term, not understand its nature, and then try to use Wikipedia to learn more; certainly, the redirect gets hits.  (Additionally, "Filosofy" is also the West Frisian word for "philosophy", but I'm not going to argue that that points to where the hits come from.) --Ibn (talk) 14:50, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was Keep An interesting result ~ Amory ( u  •  t  •  c ) 03:42, 6 June 2010 (UTC)


 * → Role-playing video game (links to redirect • [ history] • )

Delete - the title is a highly unlikely search term in and of itself and most of the redirects should now point to the right location. The relevant info has been preserved. Finally, the article, for the foreseeable future, is unlikely to be recreated. 陣 内 Jinnai 00:22, 29 May 2010 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Strong keep - absolutely cannot be deleted. Since content has been merged, the history must be kept for GFDL reasons. Apart from that overriding consideration, there are many incoming links and, as can be seen here, it is widely found in the mirrors. As an article it had regular traffic but it is, of course, too early to see what hits it gets as a redirect. Bridgeplayer (talk) 03:43, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Per WP:MERGE, the page history needs to be preserved for proper attribution. This cannot be deleted.  --Ibn (talk) 14:57, 29 May 2010 (UTC) It's the path of least resistance. --Ibn (talk) 15:31, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The above two !Votes are somewhat incorrect. While the history does need to be maintained, it does not need to be maintained at the current location. There are ways to maintain history and delete a redirect (history merges, moving to target's talk page, etc.). However, the easiest solution is to leave it where it is and in this case, I don't see anything making it worthwhile to implement a harder solution. -- JLaTondre (talk) 15:04, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
