January 8
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on January 8, 2015.

Starman (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 Wrong venue. This is actually a request to move the page, which would be requested through WP:RM. Also, I would like to note that per WP:DABNAME, disambiguation pages do not normally get moved from the base title to a title that contains "(disambiguation)" unless there is a claim for a primary topic somewhere (such as another article moving over the base name or the base name redirecting elsewhere), and I do not see that information in this request.

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

Starman needs to be moved here, but since there's already a page here, the move won't work. Supernerd11 Firemind ^_^ Pokedex 22:41, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Sorry about this, but I don't see in the box here who closed it. Judging by the history, User:Steel1943 closed it. Si Trew (talk) 22:49, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Si Trew, your above edit was essentially an with me in this section: I realized that I didn't sign it, and signed it about 3 minutes prior to your above comment.  Steel1943  (talk) 22:51, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * User:Steel1943 No worries. Others get annoyed after the "do not modify it", which I take literally not to modify the contents of the box – but have been told off even for adding technical detritus after, so delete this stuff after the box if you want. Si Trew (talk) 22:55, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Improper redirect after moving. GZWDer (talk) 06:52, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per similar discussion at Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 November 20. In fact, this title is now restricted by the title creation blacklist. Unfortunately, the blacklist entry that restricts this title didn't go live until 2014 December 17, and this title was created before that. Steel1943  (talk) 20:37, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per precedent set by the CSD at, below, (and my reasons at its talk page Talk:A World Transformed for my CSD, but they were deleted along with the page, of course). Si Trew (talk) 22:46, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Improper redirect after moving. GZWDer (talk) 06:52, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * delete. Although redirects from moves should almost always be kept, this is one of the rare exceptions. The title with wikimarkup is not useful and the article was only located there for 43 minutes after creation (4 days ago), so there is very little chance of incoming links being broken if this is deleted. Thryduulf (talk) 14:57, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per similar discussion at Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 November 20. In fact, this title is now restricted by the title creation blacklist. The blacklist entry that restricts this title didn't go live until 2014 December 17, but this title was created after the blacklist entry was added; most likely, this title was a result of the software that enforces the title blacklist having intermittent fuctionality problems. (See T85428.) Steel1943 (talk) 20:37, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Dekete per today's precedent (and my reasons) at below. Si Trew (talk) 22:42, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Improper redirect after moving. GZWDer (talk) 06:50, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * delete. The article was only at this title for 3 minutes so the usual reasons to keep redirects from moves do not apply. Thryduulf (talk) 14:59, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Taking speedy per WP:RFD, "Implausible typos or misnomers are potential candidates for speedy deletion". What other reasons? I can find no other. Si Trew (talk) 20:03, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Republic of China → Taiwan (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Bold text will not be shown as title. Also there're no such section. GZWDer (talk) 06:49, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. I was expecting to recommend straight deletion, but looking at the stats this is getting a substantial number of hits, suggesting that it is linked from somewhere external. It's not actually harmful or incorrect (the section link can and should just be removed) so it's worth keeping as people are using it. Thryduulf (talk) 15:04, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. Boldly, since it does not prejudice this discussion, with this change I've removed the non-functioning section link. I don't know why User:Thryduulf didn't, but I imagine the same concerns I have with others, of making it a fait accompli. Si Trew (talk) 19:51, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. Perhaps might know. It's a pity links to sections aren't put at RfD when one lists via Twinkle. Anything we can do about that? The actual link was to  . Not worried so much about the HTML quoting of the apostrophes (i.e. the link has "&amp;amp;#039" and not an &amp;apos; that gets Wikified to an apostrophe), but that the section is not listed at all. Si Trew (talk) 19:55, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * It isn't just Twinkle that does this, it's an issue (I guess) with the template. I've been meaning to bring this up for ages, I'll do so now - see template talk:Rfd2 in a couple of minutes. Thryduulf (talk) 20:21, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Si Trew, I recall that the section has never shown up in the link on Rfd2, but at some point did on Rfd2m. (Maybe it was vice versa.) Once upon a time, I also wondered why the section target did not show up in the nominations; I may take a look at it after the related TfM nomination is closed.

 * Delete. If an external site is linking to a redirect instead of an article, it's that site's fault, not ours. WP:NOTFINISHED. Si Trew (talk) 22:17, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per above -- Lenticel ( talk ) 00:25, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Strong delete wikimarkup in title of redirect --- 65.94.40.137 (talk) 06:43, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per unnecessary markup in title. Pageview stats are not compelling here; if the page was older I might be convinced but it would be an unusual concurrence of events for some website to have linked to this directly in the span of time that it's existed, without it having been done intentionally. Not that it's malicious, just incorrect, and we might as well correct it. My guess is a mirror site is responsible for the link noise, and it'll fix itself pretty quick.
