 * Antarctica in popular culture → Antarctica (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Recently created as a 2-line list of one user's interests, then re-directed to Antarctica. Seems an implausible redirect as 1: nobody is going to search for Antarctica using this since they'll already have the target typed out halfway through, and 2: the article on Antarctica has no popular culture section. Thus, as a redirect this is both implausible and incorrect. Crow  Caw 22:27, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete as a redirect that will never be followed, and incorrect as above.  22:54, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete as incorrect but not as implausible - Wikipedia has many articles and sections about topics in popular culture, and so the search term is an entirely logical one. Yes, it includes "Antarctica" already in it, but if someone is looking specifically for references to Antarctica in popular culture rather than information about the continent more generally then it is equally likely they'll use the whole search string. An article or section on this is distinctly possible given the existence of Category:Culture of Antarctica (e.g. Happy Feet is certainly popular culture with distinct relevance to Antarctica), but as we appear not to have anything at the moment this redirect has no viable target and so should be deleted as misleading.

 * David H. Melnick → List of The Wire episodes (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

redirects to a List of The Wire episodes. It should have its own bio article or be deleted entirely. Frankthetankk 19:57, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

No reason to exist anymore; no article links to this redirect. Kailash29792 (talk) 10:27, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. The redirect's title has existed for about a year and a four months; I cannot see the deletion of the redirect causing many, if any, external links to break. Steel1943  (talk) 18:04, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
