This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on June 23, 2013

Template:Deleted



 * 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 overwrite the redirect. Comment:  While I did participate in this debate, I am exercising discretion to close the debate and clear out the backlog because the decision was unanimous and had more than enough time for objections to surface.  I also note that Beeblebrox could have boldly made the change without bringing it here.  Rossami (talk) 18:09, 15 July 2013 (UTC)


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

Just put of curiosity I tried adding deleted in a discussion to see if it would work similarly to ✅ or other such discussion templates. Imagine my surprise when adding that caused he entire protection policy to be transcluded on to the page! Luckily for once I remembered to preview and the change did not go live. I think the creation of such a template would be better than having this not-very-useful redirect, which I guess is supposed to direct users to WP:SALT. Why there would be a template that was only a redirect to a policy section is a bit obscure to me, and I considered just being bold and doing it but the redirect is fully protected and has been for about six years, so we should probably discuss the matter first.

 * Looking in the history it seems this used to redirect to a different template, which makes some sense. That template was deleted itself, but the current redirect was imposed without discussion before that. What I am proposing is to change it to something like this 

for use in discussions. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:28, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Convert per Beeblebrox. -- 65.94.79.6 (talk) 22:16, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep, though not necessarily as-is. This title has significant history across the project which should be preserved.  Repurposing the page seems reasonable as long as the page-history is retained for those who need to see how it was used back when.  Rossami (talk) 22:41, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Per Beeblebrox. — This, that and the other (talk) 07:40, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Convert per Beeblebrox. The history will still be there. --BDD (talk) 22:55, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Template:Sweden-noble-stub



 * 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 unclear.  There is a consensus that the pages should not be left as is but the arguments to delete are weak.  In this case, I am going to exercise admin-discretion to override the stated opinions and keep the pagehistory after overwriting the current contents with a draft of what the stub notice ought to look like.  I have cribbed the drafts from Template:Germany-noble-stub but they are only first drafts and could use the attention of someone with more template experience.  Rossami (talk) 19:52, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Delete both (they are the only two templates which redirect here). If I add a template Sweden-noble-stub I expect that either it will fail because there is no such template, or it will categorise the article into sub-cats of both Category:Swedish people stubs and a Nobility category. The present situation does not link in to the Sweden-bio-stub hierarchy, so is misleading. Someone looking for Swedish biographical stubs would not be led to this article. Better to delete both these templates, so that the editor knows to use both Sweden-bio-stub and Europe-bio-stub - as I've just done for Margareta Dume. I wondered whether redirect templates came here or to TfD, but a note there says to come here. Pam  D  08:15, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
 * → Template:Europe-noble-stub (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]
 * → Template:Europe-noble-stub (links to redirect • [ history] • )    [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]
 * Where I say Europe-bio-stub above, of course I meant to say Europe-noble-stub! Sorry for any confusion. Pam  D  22:13, 30 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, though the best option would probably just be creating actual templates. --BDD (talk) 22:53, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
