NBC (fictional)

 * The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 13:07, 15 May 2015 (UTC)


 * NBC (fictional) → NBC (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=NBC_(fictional)&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Umm, as far as I know, NBC isn't fictional. This looks like it was created as a joke. Tavix | Talk 15:03, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete since the history of the redirect shows it to be a copy-paste copy of NBC, and all entries on NBC (disambiguation) seem to be non-fictional. Steel1943  (talk) 17:53, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Perhaps refers to the NBC within works of fiction, such as Seinfeld and 30 Rock? Probably not encyclopedic, though. If it's a copy-paste (or was) then it's possible a history merge is required. Otherwise, delete. Ivanvector (talk) 18:22, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Well that's about as much use as a snake in an arse-kicking competition. Delete. I did cast around but couldn't find anything better. Si Trew (talk) 21:27, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * It could possibly go via CNBC, since most of their news seems to be fictional, but I think that would be WP:POV. Si Trew (talk) 21:30, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * do you mean MSNBC? -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 04:40, 9 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete Utterly useless and not even accurate redirect. Elassint  Hi 04:22, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per above findings. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 09:13, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Flexible sanding tools → Sandpaper (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Flexible_sanding_tools&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

This looks overly promotional to me, and I don't think sandpaper is known as "flexible sanding tools." It was created by a WP:SPA, as a way to advertise their tools. Tavix | Talk 14:56, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment (reserving !vote for more discussion): all sandpaper generally is flexible, and there are tools designed specifically for employing sandpaper in applications which require a flexible abrasion surface (as well as perfectly flat or at particular exact angles, and such) but I don't think any of this is particularly encyclopedic. I think that the redirect is harmless, though. Waiting for someone to convince me one way or the other on this one. Ivanvector (talk) 15:01, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. I'm reserving judgment too, you would somehow expect this to bee WP:PROMO but it isn't. Sandpaper really isn't very flexible, at leat not the stuff I get from Poundland. Emery cloth is certainly more flexible, but that is not under discussion. Si Trew (talk) 21:34, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete sandpaper isn't the only flexible sanding tool -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 13:51, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Subjective, and not likely to be searched for on an encyclopedia. Elassint  Hi 04:10, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Team Fortress 3

 * The result of the discussion was delete. This should probably be salted if created again without good reason. --BDD (talk) 13:05, 15 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Team Fortress 3 → Team Fortress Classic (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Team_Fortress_3&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Deletion per WP:CRYSTAL. Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation. There is not a single reliable source that indicates this video game is in development or will exist in the future. The1337gamer (talk) 12:45, 8 May 2015 (UTC) Well, the game itself has spawned numerous internet memes and gags, isn't that notable enough? It's ok though if you think you should delete the article. Instant hits, not to bits. 15:30, 8 May 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrkenjiex24 (talk • contribs)
 * D1337 per WP:CRY5741 (per nom). Unverified speculation. Ivanvector (talk) 14:55, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * This is a non-existent game, I doubt any coverage, meme-wise or not, would be significant. A restricted google search gives 16,300 non-useful hits, and zero reliable hits. There is no third-party coverage from reputable sources. -- benlisquare T•C•E 11:01, 9 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete Memes mean nothing here. No serious confirmation of this game can be found. Elassint  Hi 04:22, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

2016 French Open



 * 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 delete. --BDD (talk) 13:04, 15 May 2015 (UTC)


 * 2016 French Open →French Open (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2016_French_Open&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Too early, last French Open'sn't started yet. 333-blue 12:03, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Double fault per WP:REDLINK. When there is something to write about this, someone will. The redirect points to a page with no information about this topic. Ivanvector (talk) 14:56, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete, not at target. Excuse me gathering myself together after tripping over Ivanvector's pun. (which was nicely done.) Si Trew (talk) 22:18, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just so we know it isn't a Wikiproject quirk, we don't have 2016 versions of the other Grand Slams: 2016 Wimbledon Championships, 2016 US Open (tennis), and 2016 Australian Open (which was deleted before. See: Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 December 28). Tavix | Talk 21:15, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Close undone: it's customary when undoing another user's non-admin close to leave a comment explaining why you did so. Can we assume this is because the proposed result (delete) can't be carried out by non-admins? Or do you object to the result? Ivanvector (talk) 18:19, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 * The explanation was in the edit summary, so I don't see the point in dirtying up this discussion. Si's closure violated both points in WP:BADNAC. He's not an admin so he can't close something as delete. He is also WP:INVOLVED in the discussion so it's just bad all the way around. Tavix | Talk 18:25, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Utica greens



 * 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 procedural close as it is actually an article. I've moved the discussion to Articles for deletion/Utica greens. (non-admin closure) Tavix | Talk  19:30, 9 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Utica greens → Endive (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Utica_greens&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Creator made this Utica Greens page. Having made almost 100kb worth of edits on Utica, New York, I think it's safe to say this should redirect to Cuisine of the Mid-Atlantic United States, which would be a prose list I suppose, or Endive or something. I just don't believe it should be an article. Buffaboy talk 04:36, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep article - I think there's enough here for an article, but the current one needs much work. I don't know what notability guideline to refer to for local cuisine, so I'm judging GNG by the diversity of search results, and the fact that Rachael Ray has published her own recipe for this dish. As a side note, this should probably be at AfD since an article was created. Ivanvector (talk) 08:15, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
