 * → Transportation Security Administration (links to redirect • [ history] • )

Not a very useful link, it is not used anywhere. Either delete it altogether, or maybe a different redirect such as to airport security.  Grsz 11 23:16, 22 November 2010 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete - Nothing in the target, so confusing, and no ready retarget. Better as a red link. Bridgeplayer (talk) 00:43, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was '''Speedy Delete, G7" whew, that was long ;).  Lenticel  ( talk ) 01:54, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

My bot created a number (66) of wrong redirects to language articles due to a bug (in short, I didn't realise that one of the data file had multiple languages with the same names). Bot already stopped. This probably qualifies as a speedy (G7), but rather than manually adding 66 speedy templates I'll ask here first. Perhaps the redirs can be deleted by a bot. I'm really sorry for the trouble. ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 16:13, 22 November 2010 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'

 * The result of the discussion was Kept. -- JLaTondre (talk) 15:52, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Implausible, incorrect search terms. Note that 0.9 &ne; 0.999... nor do any of the long line of nines listed above, which expands into infinity (0.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 is definitely not plausible), nor are they representative of "multiple decimal representations", which are better covered in Decimal. :| TelCo NaSp  Ve :|  03:58, 22 November 2010 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination.

 * Keep all. First of all, these redirects have been around for several years, and secondly, they are quite plausible search terms for someone who's trying to find the 0.999... article. 0.(9), for example, is mentioned in the lead paragraph of 0.999... as another way to represent that number. Proof that 0.999... does not equal 1 is another quite obviously plausible search path for this article. We're supposed to be helping readers find our articles. 28bytes (talk) 07:10, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * And as a procedural note, it appears none of these have an RfD template on them. 28bytes (talk) 07:19, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, [ 0.(9)] was a mistake. But the others are still incorrect as, before, 0.9 &ne; 0.999... and 9 repeating is not the same as 0.999... :| TelCo  NaSp  Ve :|  07:39, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure you're following me. I'm not claiming that 0.99999 is equal to 0.999..., I'm claiming it's a plausible search term for someone wanting to find the 0.999... article. 28bytes (talk) 07:59, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh for goodness' sake! How long do you expect the reader to hold down the  key in order to find the magic combination that will get xem where xe wants to go? Uncle G (talk) 09:31, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep all - Long-standing redirects with no policy based reason for deletion. These were not suitable for bulk nomination; several have been kept at previous RFDs, for example, and this has not been addressed. In addition to not being RFD tagged, editors with previous involvement have not been alerted. Any that are considered harmful, the only basis for deletion of long-standing redirects, can be individually relisted, with the specific ground that they are harmful, specified. Bridgeplayer (talk) 18:09, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete 0.9, .99, 0.9 equals 1, 0.99, 0.99 = 1, 0.99 equals 1, 0.999., 9 repeating and 0.9=1 – implausible redirects and just plain wrong. The larger numbers are more plausible but I wouldn't care if they were deleted too. By the way, some have been listed twice in the nomination.  McLerristarr &#124;  Mclay1  07:11, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The wrong title redirecting to an article giving the right information is a good thing, and an entirely proper use for a redirect. Do you, like TeleComNasSprVen, expect the reader to know the exact mathematical description of what xe is looking for, and to hold down that  key?  Wikipedia is here for readers that do not know things, after all.  Uncle G (talk) 09:31, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment - none of these redirects have been templated by the nominator so editors who may have watchlisted any of these redirects may not be aware of these RFDs. Bridgeplayer (talk) 17:21, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep all, retarget 2147483648 (number) and 4294967296 (number) to Power of two, where both numbers are referenced. 275305224 (number)'s existing target is fine since it's discussed there. 28bytes (talk) 17:43, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, a better target for 275305224 (number) would be Orders of magnitude (numbers). 28bytes (talk) 17:52, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Retarget 2147483648 (number) to Power of two where it is mentioned. Bridgeplayer (talk) 17:56, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - 275305224 (number) and 4294967296 (number) - former articles with content merged so deletion would breach our GFDL licence; a consideration not addressed by the nominator. The existing target is better for 4294967296 (number) than Power of two since there is more content; it was also the original merge target. Bridgeplayer (talk) 17:56, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
