 * → Template:Attached KML/Whitefish Bay National Forest Scenic Byway (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

This is an unnessary redirect to a 'KML file'. See the discussion at Template talk:U.S. Roads WikiProject. – Allen4names (IPv6 contributions) 21:20, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * CSD G6—this is left over from a page move. Since I'm not an administrator, I couldn't suppress the redirect. Just delete it under houskeeping and call it a day. An RfD for this is overkill.  Imzadi 1979  →   21:30, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was delete. Consensus is that the present target is inappropriate, there does not appear to be a better one, and there may be potential for an article on the Lorenzen/Janich theory, which would be better encouraged by a redlink. JohnCD (talk) 14:41, 4 August 2012 (UTC)


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

I suggest deletion of this redirect. Protophysics is a theory suggested by Paul Lorenzen and Peter Janich, two notable persons in the philosophy of science. The theory is not widely accepted. However, their argument is made on the level of methodology, an area where science seldomly is unified. To me, the redirect seems to be saying "protophysics is pseudoscience" – a gesture, I guess, that is not supposed to be the function of redirects. 130.235.172.127 (talk) 17:55, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete or disambiguate "proto-physics" can and has also been used to refer to a period in physics history, natural philosophy that lead to physics, and a number of other things. -- 76.65.131.160 (talk) 22:31, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete or disambiguate 130... is right. Not pseudoscience. See Protophysik & google translation. Probably should be article here eventually, or per 76.., disambiguation including link to Paul Lorenzen. John Z (talk) 22:57, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Would either of our articles History of physics or Natural philosophy make good targets for this redirect? If not they should probably appear not a dab page. I agree the current target is inappropriate. Thryduulf (talk) 06:07, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was Disambiguate. Ruslik_ Zero 17:28, 23 August 2012 (UTC)


 * → Why create an account? (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

"Why" can mean many things, not only "Why create an account?" 2011wp (talk) 02:26, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Converted to dab I found a lot of Wikipedia pages that may be used as targets for this redirect-- Lenticel ( talk ) 05:59, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment you might want to add Why? to this rfd. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 06:00, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep as-is. This has been the redirect for that page as long ago as 2005. Project pages don't need to have easily-guessed shortcuts. If there are other project pages that seem to be appropriate targets, we should just put some hatnotes on Why create an account?. Note to closing admin: if this is kept as-is, the target needs a shortcut tag. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BigNate37 (talk • contribs) 08:32, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * keep as is per BigNate. Changing the target, even to a dab pag, of such well-established shortcuts as this will break countless old discussions by changing or introducing ambiguity into the meaning of people's comments. Just ass hatnotes to the target. Per Lenticle, WP:Why? should point to the same place as this. Thryduulf (talk) 09:24, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Disambiguate I find that about 10% of very short shortcuts point to the wrong article at the time they were actually written. WP:GFDL was almost always pointing to the wrong page until I disambiguated it, for example. I would expect that the majority of uses for this shortcut or similarly pointing to the wrong page. Only posts at user talk pages or help desks are probably going to the right place. Thus, disambiguate. Ego White Tray (talk) 20:16, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

 * → Golden Gate Quartet (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Redirect for non-notable person, appears to be autobiographical. This person is not notable, and there is no mention of them at the target entry (there are several mentions of his father, Caleb N. Ginyard jr.). Hairhorn (talk) 01:11, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. JohnCD (talk) 14:45, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
