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

Delete. Per the discussion at Reference desk/Science, the term appears to have an obscure definition that is unsuitable for expansion, and currently redirects to an article that doesn't mention it (although I suppose the definition could be added to Diode logic if it's significant). Clarityfiend (talk) 21:47, 7 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. Searching Google for "mickey mouse logic" turns up an acronym "M2L" used beside it in 36 pages.  One of these is apparently a CMOS textbook by Butterworth and Heineman that uses it as a chapter title.   I suspect that further research would prove the redirect to be notable enough for its own article, but until someone with the expertise and inclination applies him to the task I'll be content to keep a redirect (I don't know whether the current target is the best option, but that's not at issue here).  The Science Refdesk discussion has barely been started; we're not all that fast there, and this might be a better question for the Computing Refdesk anyway. Wnt (talk) 22:20, 7 March 2012 (UTC)  Oh, and it looks like "MML" is actually more popular than "M2L". Wnt (talk) 22:47, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep as a redirect to Diode logic. Although it's a bit broader in that you can make MML from transistors too, the redirect certainly serves to explain the term to anyone who may have encountered it in context. It's probably a good idea to make a section in Diode logic for the term to elaborate the connection for people who don't know what a Micky Mouse watch is. Npmay (talk) 06:54, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep only if a bit of cited content is added to the target in order to explain what it means. I disagree with part of Npmay's premise though: a redirect to a target that does not mention the term and that is a quite different set of words from the term misinforms if the target is not synonymous with the redirect. DMacks (talk) 14:55, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: harmless and useful as shown above. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 14:48, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

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

Unnecessary and unused redirect. We don't need redirects from professions to the main infobox. Magioladitis (talk) 19:18, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: it's a clutter that is harmful just because of its existence. The infoboxes are not that difficult to find anyway. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 14:49, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was retarget to Frayne. JohnCD (talk) 15:22, 18 March 2012 (UTC)


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

Delete this redirect. This is on behalf of an OTRS request. But, after looking at the Bruce Frayne article, there is no mention of his "alternative name" (the reasoning for the creation of the redirect) anywhere in the article. Sarah (talk) 17:55, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Frayne. That would allow people to find Bruce Frayne and also the famous playwright Michael Frayn.--Salix (talk): 10:42, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Frayne per Salix. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 14:51, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was delete all. JohnCD (talk) 15:20, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Delete this redirect for the same reasons given at Лиbераlно-Демократска Партија's RFD. These all include the Latin "l" where they should have the Cyrillic "л", or "b" for "б". Gorobay (talk) 14:09, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Fine with this, these redirects were created in error by my bot (I'll be addressing that separately). Rjwilmsi  22:16, 7 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete per Rjwilmsi. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 14:54, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
