 * The result of the discussion was delete.  Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 02:51, 5 May 2011 (UTC)


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

Nothing links to this, nor is this "alternate way" of "spelling" the word "fuck" ever mentioned in the article. — Preceding signed comment added by Cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 18:37, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete; Wikipedia is not a game for spelling out the names of letters. —Anomalocaris (talk) 17:54, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. This is getting 15-30 hits a month and is neither inaccurate nor harmful. Thryduulf (talk) 19:05, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Those hits are probably because it shows up in the search prediction pull-down, and it is harmful because this redirect is playing games with foul language. Wikipedia does not play games with swear words or bathroom talk; for example, there is no article on poopy diapers or other talk that makes some four-year-olds laugh; when such words are required, whether in direct quotes, or in discussions about the words themselves, or in discussions about the topics themselves, we go ahead and use the words. We don't use asterisks or ellipses or talismans such as "H-E-Double-Toothpicks" to avoid using a word. This redirect is an avoidance of a word, and calls extra attention to it, like a four-year-old giggling about poopy diapers. Not encyclopedic. Delete. —Anomalocaris (talk) 22:47, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * How do you know where these hits are coming from? Thryduulf (talk) 23:30, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Anomalocaris didn't say s/he knew for sure where they came from but I agree with his educated guess. Even if you ignore that first sentence, though, his/her entire argument still stands. — Preceding signed comment added by Cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 03:07, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

ALT-F4 Scam

 * The result of the discussion was Deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 14:14, 30 April 2011 (UTC)


 * → Cheating in online games (links to redirect • [ history] • )

This was a result of a 2006 AfD when this was still an article. However, it seems that now it is meaningless, as the cheating at the MMORPGs section does no longer exist today. No references to this trick were mentioned now, so I call it deleted. The Junk Police (reports|works) 17:36, 16 April 2011 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete as the term is not used in the Cheating in online games. Alt F4 is a redirect itself so I really don't see anywhere that would be a good candidate for a retarget. Tavix | Talk  18:08, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was delete.  As the admin who confirmed the subject's identity and recognizing that this is now a unanimous decision, I am going to take the unusual action of closing this debate even though I participated in it.  Per the subject's request and in keeping with the spirit of our privacy policy as it applies to non- and semi-notable people, I am also adding the "hide" code to this debate so it will be ignored by bots and search engines.  Please contact me if you have any questions.  Rossami (talk) 22:17, 22 April 2011 (UTC)


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

Delete redirect. A mention in the target article, which itself is about an obscure game, is enough. User:Cyclometh (talk) 11:27, 16 April 2011 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Keep in accordance with the prior deletion discussion. It is not obviously harmful or confusing.  "Unnecessary" is a value judgment and not a reason to delete a redirect.  Rossami (talk) 13:49, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: The nominator in this discussion aliased his/her name as "Joosa Riekkinen" via piped link.  I find no evidence, whether on the userpage, Talk or via contributions that this is in fact the same person and have removed the piped link.  If this is the subject and you wish to exercise privacy rights, you need to follow the established procedures at WP:BIOSELF.  RfD is not the proper forum.  Rossami (talk)
 * Same person, but I don't know how to proceed with articles written by others about me. I talked with a Wikipedia admin and he saw no reason not to nominate it RfD and he was supportive. But it's more about how the rest of the internet links to it, not about Wikipedia itself. I guess I should feel pride for having my name on Wikipedia, but sadly I don't. By the way, WP:BIOSELF isn't entirely clear either. RfD is the proper forum, but right now I don't see it getting deleted. Joosa Riekkinen (talk) 12:41, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * To add an example, when I deleted my Facebook profile some time ago, an automatic page was created. It wouldn't be there if the redirect never existed. It's pretty aggravating. I realise it's not Wikipedia's fault. Joosa Riekkinen (talk) 13:20, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The subject's identity has been confirmed offline to my satisfaction. Delete in accordance with Wikipedia's privacy policy as it applies to non- or semi-notable persons.  Rossami (talk) 17:39, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete redirect. There is little or none useful history in the article and also, it looks a bit spammish to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattijus (talk • contribs) 13:03, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

MAHAA TV

 * The result of the discussion was Re-targeted to List of Telugu language television channels. It is not mentioned at the current target where as the new one at least provides context.   -- JLaTondre (talk) 14:11, 30 April 2011 (UTC)


 * → Media of India (links to redirect • [ history] • )

Mahaa Tv is only a TV channel and redirection to media of india doesnot make sense (This redirect should be deleted or a proper article should be written) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bssasidhar (talk • contribs) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Keep. First, there is a prior AfD decision that this subject is not sufficiently notable to support an independent article.  Redirects from a non-notable sub-topic to a more notable parent topic are routine.  Second, if the situation has changed and the topic is now more notable, content can be overwritten onto the redirect without the need to delete the pagehistory.  That hypothesis should probably be tested via drafts and requests for comment in the userspace, though.  Rossami (talk) 13:40, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was Deleted by Peripitus . -- JLaTondre (talk) 14:01, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Delete Topics not covered in the article and google searching doesn't reveal any reason why they might be. Tassedethe (talk) 01:21, 16 April 2011 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'

 * Delete per nominator — Preceding signed comment added by Cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 06:10, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, nonsensical. I'm going to take a look at a few of the user's other redirects too.  Glenfarclas  ( talk ) 04:19, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
