Both are redirects to an article about a video chip in Atari computers, called Color Television Interface Adaptor. I'd like to see both redirects deleted because as a longtime Atari enthusiast I'm pretty sure that the chip was never called "Complex..." in any literature, and the existence of these redirects would only cause confusion. I have never seen this chip called "Complex..." in any Atari-related documents, technical manuals or literature. A quick search on Google  shows only 8 results, all of them pointing to either a Wikipedia mirror, or a single user-comment on engadget.com. The redirects were both created in 2004 by the same person, and they don't contain useful page history - soon after creation they were both redirected to a CTIA article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Krótki (talk • contribs) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination.

 * Keep both. While I agree that the pages were probably created as an error, the redirects do not cause any confusion.  Since most references are only to the acronym CTIA, "complex" for "color" is a plausible bad guess.  The existence of a redirect is explicitly not an endorsement of a particular title.  (If it were, we'd have to get rid of all the redirects from spelling mistakes - and that would be a huge disservice to our readers.)  Rossami (talk) 20:47, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

The first letter is the Greek letter nu, not a Latin "n". Already deleted, along with many other similar redirects: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2010_January_6 — the Man in Question (in question)  18:02, 28 January 2011 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination.

 * Delete, completely implausible that anyone would type one Greek letter and all the rest English letters in English Wikipedia. —Anomalocaris (talk) 20:32, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, a textbook example of implausibility. Thryduulf (talk) 18:16, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

 * → Morley Byron Bursey (links to redirect • [ history] • )

Remove the redirect since it prevents users searching on the name Bursey from seeing more than the one article - there are now at least two Timbuk3 (talk) 14:39, 28 January 2011 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Replace with a disambiguation page or add a hatnote, as that's what they're for. You don't need an RfD to do either. Thryduulf (talk) 15:32, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
