Redirect of user with changed name. ~ &#8658;TomTom  N00  @ 17:09, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

 * → Turks in the Arab world (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

The article has been moved to Turks in the Arab world, the term "in the Middle East" is not an appropiate redirect for the subject in matter (given that Turkey itself can be considered Middle Eastern).  Turco  85 ( Talk ) 15:39, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article existed at the old title for almost 2 years prior to your pagemove.  The new title is better but the redirect from the old title serves to prevent link rot and helps the prior editors and readers find the new location of their content.  Rossami (talk) 17:19, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. We generally keep old redirects for the reasons that Rossami gives; as well, please note that erroneous redirects for which people might search are still appropriate.  Even if they haven't previously seen it, we know that people might search for this title simply because an article existed there.  Nyttend (talk) 15:40, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: harmless redirect with documented plausibility. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 14:44, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

This redirect is, more than anything else, confusing. It was created by a pagemove (move history is preserved in the page history of the target page) but there is no revision that contains any mention of 'Strange Information'. Deletion would not break any incoming links and, since the move took place eight hours after page creation, it is highly unlikely that any external links would be broken. The title is not a likely search string for the target page and the redirect is virtually unused: only eight hits in the last six months, most of them from me. -- Black Falcon (talk) 00:24, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, easily could have been speedied after the move, and the lack of hits since then shows that it's not a likely search target. Nyttend (talk) 15:41, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: title is completely irrelevant, history preserved. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 14:46, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
