No chance anyone will type this intentionally, and the target article doesn't mention falafel in any way (nor is it likely to). Qwyrxian (talk) 23:30, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * comment, leaning towards keep. This is consistently getting around 30 hits/month suggesting people continue to find it useful. While the target page doesn't currently mention falafel, the last version of the original target before it was afd-merged into the present article does (see old revision), which combined with a satement in the afd (linked at the top of the old revision) about the importance of it to the case makes it quite possible that it will be mentioned in future. If this is not harmful (it doesn't appear to be, but I've never heard of the subject before now and its bleeping difficult doing the research on my increasingly senile phone) then I don't see a reaon to delete. Thryduulf (talk) 00:07, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've not found any evidence that this is harmful, so per my earlier comment there is benefit to keeping and none to deleting. Thryduulf (talk) 16:39, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Delete. "My little Brony" was added as the name of an episode, it was either vandalism or a rumour that turned out to be incorrect, and has now been removed. Peter&#160;E.&#160;James (talk) 15:01, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete seems to be a rumor that turned out false, considering the activity on it over the internet outside of Wikipedia. 70.49.127.65 (talk) 03:33, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as unlikely synonym.-- Lenticel ( talk ) 23:56, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Delete cross-namespace redirect. I've rewritten the previous target of the redirect, Block (Internet), as it was contrary to WP:SELF Nobody Ent 10:59, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I consider it borderline abuse of process to turn a page into a cross-namespace redirect, then immediately nominate it for deletion on that basis. Revert to prior target. This redirect was previously discussed in Oct 2008.  The decision then was "retarget to Ban (law)" though Block (internet) was presented as a viable alternative and an ordinary-editor update quickly switched the target to that.  I see no reason to overturn that prior decision.  I do not have a strong preference for which target is best but both are clearly associated with this topic.  The redirect is entirely plausible. I also reviewed the recent changes to Block (Internet) and disagree with the categorization of that content as violating WP:SELF.  While it does describe the mechanism used by Wikipedia (and could use expansion about other mechanisms), that mechanism is not unique to Wikipedia - that blocking mechanism is common to many pseudonymous websites.  Rossami (talk) 13:59, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Revert per Rossami. I'm also okay with a dab with links to Block (Internet), Ban (law) and List of banned users.-- Lenticel ( talk ) 23:59, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Revert per Rossami. I also agree that the original content at that target was not a violation of WP:SELF. Thryduulf (talk) 16:41, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Gap junction protein, alpha 1, 43kDa

 * → GJA1 (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

This page title has been entered with an error (the "43kDa" part being superfluous) - it was very soon moved by another editor to a more correct title Gap junction protein, alpha 1. However, the old title was not deleted; instead, simply a redirection has been made. As this is a wrong title, nothing links here and there is hardly an chance anyone would ever search for this erroneous title. Deletion requested.  kashmiri 08:51, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This article was created in Oct 2007 at GJA1. It was moved to Gap junction protein, alpha 1, 43kDa in Nov 2008 and moved to Gap junction protein, alpha 1 a day later where it stayed until earlier this week when it was moved back to GJA1.  I will grant that the content did not exist at this longest version of the title very long but the redirect has existed for 4 years without creating any evidence of controversy or confusion.  (And while there are no inbound links showing via WhatLinksHere, we have no way to know whether any links exist external to the project.)  According to the Nation Institute of Health, "gap junction 43 kDa heart protein" is a synonym for GJA1.  The jump from that recognized synonym to this redirect title does not seem at all implausible to me.  Keep because the redirect is unharmful and redirects are cheap.
