 * The result of the discussion was Keep. Ruslik_ Zero 19:04, 20 March 2011 (UTC)


 * → Grand Theft Auto (series) (links to redirect • [ history] • )

Delete. GTANet is an unofficial network of Grand Theft Auto fansites and services. It is not synonymous with the GTA franchise itself, and does not fall under any legitimate purposes for a redirect. It is also not notable enough to warrant an article (GTAForums, the most notable part of GTANet, has already had its article deleted for not meeting notability requirements) Suction Man (talk) 15:49, 5 March 2011 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Keep because it is successfully preempting the re-creation of deleted content. Redirects to not have to be "official" or synonymous, they just have to be useful.  Rossami (talk) 04:12, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Template:Invite members

 * The result of the discussion was Delete. Unused and too general to useful. Ruslik_ Zero 19:11, 20 March 2011 (UTC)


 * → Template:Northern Virginia invite (links to redirect • [ history] • )

Poor, overly general redirect. Anyone using this template name might be expecting a general-purpose invitation template. But such a template does not exist, and they would erroneously get the Northern Virginia invitation template instead. (Note: I just moved the template away from this name.) — This, that, and the other (talk) 01:31, 5 March 2011 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.'
 * Delete per nom, it is far too general.    Sophus Bie  (talk) 16:57, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep because it's the result of a very recent pagemove and the users of this template need the ability to find it at the new title. (Note that users of templates are frequently not merely the editors of the template.  Identifying the users may be problematic, especially if it was used via substitution.)  Not necessarily "keep-as-is", however.  While I also am unable to find a general-purpose invitation template, there are a number of specialized ones.  A search of the template space for the keyword "invite" turned up screens of hits.  This might be a good title for template-disambiguation.  Rossami (talk) 04:06, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete excessively generic. How did this relatively new WikiProject ever get to occupy such a generic position? 65.93.13.129 (talk) 04:48, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment an alternative is to convert the redirect into a generic invitation template for any wikiproject, which takes the wikiproject name as a parameter. 65.93.13.129 (talk) 04:48, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
