February 7
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on February 7, 2015.

Parexocoetus brachypterus



 * 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 closed as moot. Lenticel has expanded this into an appropriately cited stub, so it's safe to say we're done here. Non-admin closure. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 15:13, 9 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Parexocoetus brachypterus → Flying Fish (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Parexocoetus_brachypterus&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Delete this redirect, as it is linked to only from a genus page and loops back to the family page. It is an unhelpful redirect. Astrofreak92 (talk) 23:12, 7 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep - valid bi-nominal and a Redirect with possibilities that according to traffic stats gets more hits than I had expected. It should maybe link to the genus, Parexocoetus, from where there is a link to the family by its WP:COMMONNAME, Flying fish. -- Sam Sing! 00:32, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Addendum: I have unlinked Parexocoetus brachypterus in Parexocoetus to avoid a WP:SELFREDIRECT. Parexocoetus brachypterus is also linked from List of fishes of India, List of fish in the Red Sea, and List of marine spiny-finned fishes of South Africa. -- Sam Sing! 00:38, 8 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Close I have already expanded it into a cited stub. Feel free to expand into DYK status if you want.-- Lenticel ( talk ) 07:10, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment Thanks! I had no idea whether there was enough info to turn this into at least a stub, but this would resolve the issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Astrofreak92 (talk • contribs) 21:51, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was keep. --BDD (talk) 21:08, 15 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Viking Stadium → New Minnesota Stadium (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Viking_Stadium&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Obvious typo. Mosmof (talk) 22:41, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't see this as a typo. Sometimes the S is removed from the team name when referring to the stadium by that name. Yankee Stadium and Dodger Stadium are examples that comes to my mind and I'm sure there's others. Tavix | Talk  00:09, 8 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep Skippypeanuts (talk) 02:22, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, it's quite reasonable to drop the plural when using a noun attributively. Siuenti (talk) 16:19, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak retarget to Viking Stadion, because it's a closer match for "viking". Hatnote as appropriate. Ivanvector (talk) 15:51, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * 3M Stadium → New Minnesota Stadium (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=3M_Stadium&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Redirect created under the mistaken assumption that 3M would buy the naming rights to a proposed stadium in Minneapolis. Mosmof (talk) 22:40, 7 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete please Skippypeanuts (talk) 02:21, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - unlike U. S. Bank Stadium above, there appears to be no source for this rumour. 3M is working on a bird-safe glass treatment for the stadium but I see nothing about naming rights. Ivanvector (talk) 15:59, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete please Skippypeanuts (talk) 02:22, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - unlike U. S. Bank Stadium above, this doesn't even appear to be a rumour, just something made up. Googling "3M Field" just brings up product guides, nothing about a sports facility in Minnesota. Ivanvector (talk) 16:00, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

I nominated a couple of teams for deletion a couple of weeks ago (Carolina Cheetahs & Atlanta Experience), and since they were both deleted without any major issues, I have decided to do the same to the rest of the teams that redirect to the ABA article. My rationale is based largely on WP:REDLINK (the fact that redlinks encourage article creation and show that the article doesn't exist), which is better than redirecting to the league article and get little to no information about the team.

 * Charlotte Allen → List of The Inbetweeners characters (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Charlotte_Allen&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

I think deletion is appropriate here, "Charlotte Allen" is not mentioned once on the list.  Amaryllis Gardener  talk 01:03, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. There is one Charlotte but no Allens in the article. The redirect targets to § Charlotte Hinchcliffe. Maybe it's an alt name for her or sorts used in the show, but that needs to be mentioned in the list (and sourced).  野狼院ひさし  u/t/c 14:47, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
