 * → Psychedelic rock (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Acid blues currently redirects to Psychedelic rock, which itself doesn't otherwise mention "acid blues". I'm thinking this could be deleted as an unlikely redirect, and/or as per RfD criteria 8 and 10. Most of the links to this are via Template:Psychedelic music and Template:Funkmusic (I'd already removed this from both, but it seems the server cache [or whatever] hasn't yet caught up.) Prior to being a redirect, the article consisted of OR and lacked sources. Gyrofrog (talk) 23:37, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete There's a discussion on Talk:Acid blues from a point 2 years ago when a formerly OR article full of questionable examples (Velvet Underground "acid blues"?!) was replaced by the redirect. That was an improvement but as pointed out above it is redirecting into an article which doesn't mention this supposed genre. Better without it altogether. AllyD (talk) 23:46, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Target makes no mention, and the connection seems tenuous. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:18, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Yep that was me who made it a redirect and I have seen no evidence of its existence since. Time to clean up an unlikely search.--  SabreBD  (talk) 18:53, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

 * → WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Cross-namespace redirect that could easily be switched to be "WP:AUTOCONV". MZMcBride (talk) 20:52, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 21:49, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Move without redirect per nom. Some cross-namespace redirects (CNRs) have value, but links to WikiProjects are not often among them and shortcuts even less so. The target in this case is clearly intended for editors, and it is not going to be of use to any new editors who have not yet learned about namespaces (which knowledge would typically be acquired before learning of shortcuts), so there is no value in retaining this redirect in article space. Thryduulf (talk) 13:27, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Move without redirect and do the same to Autoconv. TimBentley (talk) 16:39, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

 * → WikiProject Northamptonshire/Assessment (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Cross-namespace and just generally kind of goofy. Currently classified as a shortcut, but it's not very short. I think this redirect should be deleted. MZMcBride (talk) 20:51, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 21:50, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * move without redirect to WP:Northamptonshire Assess. The page gets uses, and so despite not being very short is obviously useful. However there is no benefit to this being a CNR and so we should move it to the correct namespace. Thryduulf (talk) 13:34, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Delete - Lawrence J. Cohen IMDB is not the Lawrence Cohen (politician) of the article Jim1138 (talk) 05:52, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Good find. Ego White Tray (talk) 13:35, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep This redirects to Larry Cohen, a film director. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 21:51, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Wrong. Larry Cohen, the film director, is a Larry G. and doesn't seem to be the same person as the Larry J. mentioned on IMDb. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:19, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
