 * Speedy Delete per the nom, and the Snow Delete of the last batch. If anyone locates any more of these they should similarly be listed here and included in the deletion. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 20:23, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

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

This redirect has been around since 2010 so it is not recently created and the author while now banned was not banned when the redirect was created. Frank Donlavey is not mentioned anywhere within the article Canada men's national soccer team so it is an implausible redirect. GB fan 21:25, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete He wasn't even Canadian. All the information I've found says that he was Scottish. Ego White Tray (talk) 03:59, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Shirley temple's pussy

 * The result of the discussion was keep. JohnCD (talk) 10:33, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

This supposed possible expansion of STP (for the band Stone Temple Pilots) wasn't even remotely verified in the article, and a Google search reveals it as a useless search term. Drmies (talk) 21:50, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, by all means, but shouldn't this be at WP:RfD? —Ignatzmicetalkcontribs 04:55, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Note. This was initially created incorrectly (as an AfD instead of an RfD). Then, the AfD discussion was not linked to the redirect itself. I am about to delete the AfD itself and leave this as the only discussion.--Bbb23 (talk) 10:11, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. The only support in the main article was a citation to a list of the band's gigs. I don't know what that had when it was originally created, but now it has a list of current gigs and no reference to the term Shirley temple's pussy. However, the story that is told in the article appears to be valid, meaning they did at one time want to call it Shirley temple's pussy but were pressured into coming up with something else - one assumes because of the vulgarity. The one reasonably reliable source I could find for this was a book, and you can see it here. I'm not necessarily saying that means we should keep the redirect as this was many years ago, and it seems unlikely to me that anyone would use it as a search term now, but the amount I know about the band business and people who go to band concerts you could put on a head of a pin. Of course, if the consensus is to keep the redirect, then logically, per the source, we should also create Stinky toilet paper.--Bbb23 (talk) 10:28, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Note I've added the alternative capitalisation Shirley Temple's Pussy to this nomination. Thryduulf (talk) 10:46, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a well used redirect (in the past year the two capitalisations have been viewed between 44 and 141 times every month between them (stats are case insensitive), which is unsurprising as the story that the band used to be known as "Shirley Temple's Pussy" is well known (whether it is true or not) and so should be mentioned at the target. In addition to the reference above, is an interview with Scott Weiland that appears to imply it is true. Thryduulf (talk) 10:33, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep as it would appear that this redirect is not without merit.

 * Wait--how does "we couldn't call it Shirley Temple's Pussy" make this a helpful redirect or a valid search term? Drmies (talk) 17:29, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * By itself, it doesn't. The fact that so many reliable sources have written about it (this is only three I quickly picked from a google book search) means that it is at least plausible that others would search that term, due to the coverage from those sources. I agree that it is an offensive term, but some people might actually use it, and according to Bbb23, they have.  I don't think it is important enough to hurt us either way, honestly, but I can't help but be inclined to keep if it has been covered in multiple sources.

 * Keep. Valid search term. Steel1943  (talk) 07:35, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Delta function (disambiguation)



 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.


 * The result of the discussion was Speedy keep per WP:INTDABLINK (section WP:HOWTODAB) policy that says ""To link to a disambiguation page, link to the title that includes the text "(disambiguation)", even if that is a redirect" and "If the redirect does not yet exist, create it". Thryduulf (talk) 08:46, 14 April 2013 (UTC)


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

Seems pointless, since Delta function is itself a disambiguation page. RockMagnetist (talk) 04:28, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. This convection is correct per WP:DABNAME. Steel1943  (talk) 04:37, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * WP:DABNAME says that "The title of a disambiguation page is the ambiguous term itself, provided there is no primary topic for that term". There is no primary topic for Delta function. RockMagnetist (talk) 05:37, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * That's not the section in WP:DABNAME where I'm focusing. Here's where:
 * "In addition, when a disambiguation page exists at the ambiguous term, there should also be a redirect to it from the "(disambiguation)" title; in other words, if "Term ABC" is a disambiguation page, a redirect from "Term ABC (disambiguation)" should be created if it does not already exist. This type of redirect is used to indicate any intentional links to the disambiguation page, to distinguish them from accidental or erroneous incoming links that should be disambiguated to the appropriate article."
 * Hope that helps. Steel1943  (talk) 05:55, 14 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep WP:INTDABLINK -- 70.24.250.103 (talk) 05:25, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * WP:INTDABLINK is about linking to an existing disambiguation page, not whether it should exist. RockMagnetist (talk) 05:40, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * See WP:HOWTODAB (a section of WP:INTDABLINK), "To link to a disambiguation page (rather than to a page whose topic is a specific meaning), link to the title that includes the text "(disambiguation)", even if that is a redirect—for example, link to the redirect America (disambiguation) rather than the target page at "America".
