 * Was Bodincomagus → Moneu da Po -- I created this with the wrong name (should have been simply Bodincomagus) Ian Spackman 09:49, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as author request. I have tagged it as db-author. Kusma (討論) 15:38, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
 * John Thomas Daniels → John W. Daniels, the redirect is left over from a misidentification. --Cheesemaster 11:04, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

The nominated redirect was made to redirect to Married and maiden names. Johnleemk | Talk 10:23, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Married name → Maiden name -- Article tagged in January, but probably never listed here or not properly closed. Listing here out of deference to original nomination. -- JLaTondre 19:18, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. The title of the Maiden name article is a bit misleading as it discusses married names and the customs related to changing name upon marriage. A redirect to that is better than providing no information. -- JLaTondre 19:18, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Maiden name and married name are opposites. I can't see how one can be a redirect to the other. --Asbl 23:22, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Easily. Over half of the Maiden name article actually discusses various alternatives for married names. As I think about it, a better solution might be to rename Maiden name as Maiden and married names and have both as redirects to it. -- JLaTondre 23:47, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I like JLATondre's suggestion. JoshuaZ 20:10, 2 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I've been bold and performed a move to Married and maiden names. On expriry of this nom pls rm tag from the rd (which I have snapped). John Reid 04:35, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

The nominated redirect was deleted and replaced with a redirect to Maiming. (Confusing, no useful history.) I have taken the liberty of ending the discussion early. - Mike Rosoft 19:17, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Maim -> MAME - "To maim" means "to cripple", and all incoming links are in this meaning. (I don't understand why it's supposed to redirect there, but perhaps somebody can explain it to me.) - Mike Rosoft 20:05, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I think it is supposed to be in case someone doesn't know how to spell MAME. But too confusing and not terribly useful. JoshuaZ 20:10, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - looking at the comments on the user page of the editor who created this one, s/he seems prone to questionable edits and this one is particularly unhelpful. How many times would someone search for "Maim" when they mean "MAME", versus how many times would someone search for "Maim" when "Maim" is actually what they mean? The earlier Wiktionary link is far more helpful - this should perhaps be reinstated. IMO, Gingerfield rocks' reversion of the Wiktionary link back to the earlier unhelpful redirect is, if anything, vandalism rather than an attempt to help build an encyclopdia. CLW 08:11, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete for the reasons give above. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 09:03, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

 * 0000 → year zero (originally → 1 BC) -- Implausible as use as an actual year, and there seems an advantage to having unsubstituted templates showing a red link. &mdash; Arthur Rubin | (talk) 03:11, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Perhaps, instead of deleting the redirect, it should be a disambiguation page between the ISO 8601 1 BC and the common usage which would be year zero. This doesn't help the red link problem, though.  &mdash; Arthur Rubin | (talk) 03:22, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment 0000 → 1 BC was originally created as a fix for a bug in the Wikipedia software that converted the valid ISO8601 date of 0000-01-01 into 1 January 0000 instead of 1 January 1 BC as it should. However, since then the software appears to have been changed so that now 0000-01-01 is changed to 1 January 0, where 0 does not go to any year but instead goes to the numeral 0, which has also been changed in the interim into a disambiguation page. Thus the original redirect now serves no useful purpose. Note that the ISO8601 date -0000-01-01 now is correctly converted to -0000-01-01, where -0000 is converted to 1 BC as it should. (ISO8601 uses astronomical year numbering where the astronomical 0 is the historical 1 BC.) Appearently the only way to fix the ISO8601 date format problem now is via a Bug report. — Joe Kress 09:31, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Date redirects. These were nominated for speedy deletion as improbable typos, but they seem perfectly reasonable to me. - EurekaLott 02:22, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * 08 Dec → 8 December
 * 08 Jan → 8 January
 * 09 Jan → 9 January
 * 09 January → 9 January
 * Delete (and actually to December 8, January 8, January 8, January 9), per WP:DATE). I could go either way on 09 January and 9 January, etc., but all appropriate redirects should be created by a bot in that case.  09 Jan and 9 Jan are implausible -- but all appropriate redirects should be created by a bot, if we decide those are appropriate. &mdash; Arthur Rubin | (talk) 02:52, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Further study shows that 08 Dec in plain text autolinks to Dec 08, so these redirects only are visible if someone does 12-08, rather than 08 Dec . It's not confusing in and of itself, but does produce linkcruft in "pages starting with" special pages.  &mdash; Arthur Rubin | (talk) 02:52, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico → GEICO -- It looks as though this redirect was created only to facilitate an entry in BJAODN. I doubt that anyone will ever search or look up this redirect, and it is only linked to from BJAODN.  I'll conceed that it's funny, but still utterly useless :)  (Note: There is no useful history on the redirect, and it's new -- only 8 days old) CanadianGuy 16:13, 3 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment. I created the page, but I was completely unaware that it was even ON one of the many BJAODN pages, most of which I have not read. I agree that it may be unlikely that anybody would use it, so if there is consensus to delete it, then so be it. Firestorm 21:11, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.' The nominated redirect was deleted. Johnleemk | Talk 10:29, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Aeroperiod → Middle dot -- Originally nominated on AfD by here with the following concern:
 * This redirect is a bit of redirection vandalism, I've deleted the reference to an "aeroperiod" (which doesn't exist) from the article it directs to, but since my removal of the redirect was reverted by a bot, I'm asking for it to be deleted.

I am bringing this discussion to the appropriate project page. Roy boy cr ash  fan   00:39, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Omaha the Cat Dancer vandalized by Nutz → Omaha the Cat Dancer -- a title unlikely to be entered, no links to it, seemingly nothing in edit history worth keeping. Шизомби 04:02, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Skull Trap → Spells of Dungeons & Dragons -- Discussion carried over here from AfD. LtPowers wrote:
 * This is a page for a D&D spell. The spell was never notable enough for the encyclopedia to begin with.  It is now a redirect to Spells of Dungeons and Dragons, and the list at that article now includes the skull trap spell.  The spell isn't significant enough for inclusion in that list, however (we're trying to keep the list to the most iconic), but I'm told I can't remove the spell from the list as long as this page redirects to it!  So I'm asking for this redirect to be deleted so I can remove its merged text from the target article.  I'd previously proposed the deletion of this article but User:TigerShark removed the tag.

 * Delete per nom. --Hetar 18:50, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
 * None as of yet → Decision -- Ostensibly because the article United States presidential election, 2008 gives "none as of yet" (an imperfect locution, to be sure) in place of a list of prospective candidates from Socialist Party USA, an anon editor has created a page for "None as of yet" and has, on two occasions, linked the phrase on the presidential election page. I PRODded the page when it was essentially a dicdef, but it's now been changed to a redirect to "decision", which seems a bit of a non-sequitur; in any case, it's surely an unnecessary redirect.

 * Which is why it's a redirect...I was under the impression we had to keep the redirect for the page history? NickelShoe (Talk) 17:57, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * The AfDs (plural) stated to merge the articles, because the article name was too minor. A redirect means keeping the article name, too. Besides, nobody types in "minor characters of". -- infinity  0  18:14, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Er, I asked about the licensing problems with deleting the page history of what how now been merged elsewhere. WP:MM says merges should always leave redirects in place, for instance. NickelShoe (Talk) 18:21, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I see; but the consensus was split between "delete" and "merge and delete" (on "things in", but applies to all subpages). -- infinity  0  20:58, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Again, Deletion_policy: "Note that merge into article and delete is only a valid option if the information on authorship of the content is somehow preserved, or for public domain text." I don't understand what it's hurting to have the redirect when it gives acknowledgement to editors whose contributions remain in Wikipedia in a different article. NickelShoe (Talk) 21:15, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per NickelShoe. Besides merge history, the article title conforms to Wikipedia "standard" so the redirect would be usesful if someone adds that link to an article (i.e. avoids creation of a duplicate article). -- JLaTondre 23:00, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Nupedia, the old free encyclopedia → Nupedia
No one is going to look for that particular string. Created by serial redirector, so even if he (they) say they will use it, it's still implausible. &mdash; Arthur Rubin | (talk) 01:09, 16 April 2006 (UTC) 'The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.' <hr style="display:none" />
 * Keep. If somebody does search for it, it will be useful. It does not confuse the person using the redirect, as they are unlikely to expect anything else except an article on Nupedia. It's a damn unlikely redirect, but it might serve one out of every ten million people or something. Redirects are cheap. There is no reason to delete a redirect. "Nobody's going to use it" isn't a valid reason. Johnleemk | Talk 05:53, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. "Nobody's going to use it" is a perfectly valid reason to delete it, in my opinion.  We shouldn't have redirects for random phrases just because "they don't hurt anyone".  Especially when they are more complicated than the article name itself. -- Renesis13 22:45, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: You realize that your delete vote will take more space on the server than the redirect would have. savidan(talk) (e@) 05:26, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * That's not my point. If it is a real title of the encyclopedia, then I would vote to keep it.  But as it looks like it's not, then I feel the reason to remove it is to control disorganization and pointlessness.  I could create a redirect that say "Nupedia, the ancestor to Wikipedia" or "Nupedia, founded by Jimmy Wales" and it wouldn't use much disk space or processor time, but it would be totally pointless.  Keeping that under control, is to me a large part of the goal for Redirects for Deletion. -- Renesis13 17:49, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Pointless, yes, but would it hurt? That is the major question. If it does not hurt, it can only be one of two things: neutral or helpful. Neither is totally bad. Looks like we'll have to agree to disagree here. Johnleemk | Talk 18:42, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * If it doesn't hurt anyone, does it not make sense to retain it? Just because something is more complicated than the real name does not mean we remove the redirect; someone with the wrong information could justifiably find it useful in the future. I see nobody has bothered actually reading the policy relating to redirect deletions, which clearly states that if a redirect doesn't hurt anyone (e.g. it's not misleading, it's not confusing, there's nothing else the page could conceivably redirect to, etc.), it shouldn't be deleted.

Armenian Terror → Armenian allegations
User Kayaakyuz created several redirects on 16 April to a POV article Armenian allegations they had copied from Turkish govt website, currently listed on AfD. The redirects obscure attempts to find the NPOV Wikipedia article. It is possible the title of the established article Armenian Genocide may change, so the redirect will not have a valid target. The names of many of the redirects and articles involve are themselves either insufficiently descriptive or contentious to one of the parties. Also Armenian Allegations, Armenian issue, Armenian Issue, Turkish Genocide, Turkish genocide, Armenian problem, Armenian terror, Armenian Terror, Armenian relocation, Armenian Relocation, Tehcir, Ottoman Armenians, Ottoman armenians --Cedders 15:38, 17 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment. Isn't it better to wait for the closure of the AfD discussion on Armenian allegations, and reopen the discussion when that issue is settled? I did not check all, but for most nothing links to there, so if the main article goes they can be speedied, I suppose. (I agree that the names are contentious, but this is one of those topics where any name and/or content will be objectionable to one of the sides in the conflict.) I'm afraid I don't quite get how a possible name change of Armenian Genocide (which, as far as I know, is not under any kind of formal discussion) is supposed to have an impact on these redirects. Lambiam Talk 23:33, 17 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment. I guess you're right, and suppose that's how these things are usually done (I'm a newbie).  But maybe should they remain nominated (a) because redirecting from most of the terms to any conceivable article would cause confusion and/or be contentious (although I guess Ottoman Armenians could redirect to Armenians); and (b) to avoid readers being redirected to the POV fork and Google listing each 160K redirect instead of giving PageRank to Armenian Genocide.  There's no formal discussion to move Armenian Genocide, but I think it's been moved before, and my Macmillan has the topic as 'Armenian massacre', which may be raised later about how the article summary can be presented more objectively before getting onto the opinion of genocide scholars, the UN, etc. --Cedders 01:20, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

 * User:Jaimemrm2002, who is a newcomer, conversed with me regarding this RfD. The rationale was that Yumiko Kokonoe is the real name of the actress, and not Usako Kokonoe (The article page on Usako Kokonoe also refers to her by Yumiko Kokonoe). As of now, Yumiko Kokonoe redirects to Usako Kokonoe. But it should be the other way round. So this redirect is to be deleted so that the article may be moved to that page. This is what User:Jamiemrm2002 said. Since I am not well versed with this subject, I am not voting. Just I put up his rationale.

Fuck Truck → Wellesley College Senate Bus
If we're going to have an article of this name, then it should be related to Passion Wagons in general not a particular school bus. Why should that school have monopoly on the term? jmd 11:11, 21 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Then why not edit the article to discuss the subject of cars equipped for sex (or at least create a stub about that subject), adding a link at the top to the Senate Bus article? Catamorphism 12:20, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * STRONG KEEP See the long history of deletion debates on this subject. Quite simply, this is not a "passion wagon" (a car equipped for sex). This is a shuttle bus that has come to be known as the "fuck truck" and so referred to in numerous notable media sources (again, see all of the deltion debates on this matter) because it is the means by which some students travel from one college to another when they are meeting up with someone at the latter school in order to engage in sexual activity . As for this redirect, it is unclear why this redirect would be a candidate for deletion. As it stands, there is an article about the Wellesley College Senate Bus and that article provides multiple reliable references for the fact that the bus is widely known as the fuck truck. Quite simply, it is reasonable to think that a sizeable portion of users interested in this bus will in fact type in the term fuck truck. Without this redirect, those users will not find what they are looking for. Thus, this redirect serves the fundamental purpose that redirects are supposed to serve -- it reduces confusion. As for alternate meanings of "fuck truck", I just did a quick google search and fuck truck does not seem to be a particuarly widespread synonym for passion wagon -- the few sites I found using the term in this context were porn sites and user-editable sites. Interestingstuffadder 13:13, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Keep, of course. Mattergy 13:39, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Interestingstuffadder. The Senate bus has been known as the "fuck truck" since antiquity. Why should the United States have a monopoly on houses that are white?

 * You're making the assumption that these two have been actively kept. Since neither has been previously nominated, that's not the case. They probably just weren't noticed by anyone. Since you have pointed them out, I've nominated them for deletion as well. It's as easy to use the Wikipedia page titles themselves or the short-cut links already provided (WP:MEDCAB & WP:3RR) as it is to use the article space redirects. There's no need to confuse article space and Wikipedia space. Especially since using as WP: named link clearly indicates to everyone that you're talking about a Wikipedia adminstrative topic without them having to click on the link. -- JLaTondre 01:41, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. I found out about this redirect delete proposal by entering 3rr.

 * There's a reason for having a seperate article and Wikipedia name space. Why confuse that with redirects? -- JLaTondre 02:26, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * What's the reason? --Serge 03:21, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * There are two reasons: 1) To avoid confusion and to clearly indicate when we're talking about adminstrative content and not an article. Most users of Wikipedia (i.e. our readers) do not care about adminstrative details. We shouldn't confuse them by mixing adminstrative topics with articles. 2) More importantly, redirects from article space to Wikipedia space remove potential article titles. While it may not be likely someone would write an article titled 3RR, it's not unconcievable and the prescence of the redirect is likely to detour them if they wished. -- JLaTondre 13:14, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd also like to note that Redirects_for_deletion states that "You might want to delete a redirect if one or more of the following conditions is met..." Nowhere does the page state that you must delete such a redirect. This term is already linked, as stated earlier, in more than 300 pages, and as such it would break quite a lot of them as well. Is there evidence of a wikipedia policy page stating that cross-namespace redirects must be deleted? This might be one of the exceptions to the rule as it has already been labeled as useful by Serge. I also tend to forget to use the WP tag as well. I also believe that users less knowledgeable on the WP tag may use this link as well for reference, as people often use this term. Perhaps a redirect may not be the proper option here if it is causing so much controvery, however. Perhaps the page should simply be a sort of 'altered' redirect that clearly states it links to a non mainspace article, stating what the page they were likely looking for is. Cowman109<sup style="color:darkgreen;">Talk 19:08, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * JLaTondre, with all due respect, those don't seem like compelling reasons to me. 1) I still don't understand the purpose of making the line clear between the two namespaces.  The beauty of Wiki is that it's all one namespace, and you can get to anything from one search box.  If it crosses into the area of Wiki admin, so what?  Why is it okay for a user to inadvertently stumble onto, say, an obscure technical medical page in the Wiki space but not okay for him to stumble onto some obscure Wiki admin concept?  If that division is important to maintain, why not create and maintain countless other namespace divisions?  In short, what makes Wiki admin stuff so special that it needs to be isolated in a separate namespace such that no one can unintentionally stumble onto it?  2) If someone comes up with a legitimate use of the title 3RR in the Wiki namespace, then a disambiguation page might be appropriate.  Or, they can use 3RR for their article, and put a disambiguation link to WP:3RR at the top of their article.  Nothing is necessarily permanent in Wikipedia.  I just don't see what problem is solved by removing this redirect, or any like it. --Serge 23:54, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd also like to point out Redirects_for_deletion/Precedents showing pages similar to 3RR being kept in the past due to their high usage. I believe it can be agreed that, as 3RR has 300 links, it can be considered in high usage. Cowman109<sup style="color:darkgreen;">Talk 19:11, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Soft redirect per Sikon and Dijxtra. Edit: More in favor of a soft redirect. When I did a search for '3rr', WP:3RR did not show up until after 16 search terms. As I've stated above, this makes it too difficult for newer users unfamiliar with WP shortcuts. Cowman109<sup style="color:darkgreen;">Talk 16:44, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

 * From what I've seen, there is no wiki policy that states that all cross-namespace redirects should be deleted. In fact, policy (from what I've stated up above) suggests the near opposite that should a redirect be helpful and heavily linked to, such that removing it would break many links, the redirect should in fact not be deleted.

 * Delete Don't mix namespaces. It makes reusing material or changing its format very difficult: how will legitimate forks and mirrors know what to use?

 * Veldean, please explain. How does having a redirect from 3RR to WP:3RR make "reusing material or changing its format very difficult"?  What material is made difficult to reuse by such a redirect?  Changing the format of what is made very difficult by such a redirect?  What is a "legitimate fork or mirror" and how does such a redirect make it impossible or difficult for it to know what to use?   I don't understand the analogy with misusing html, which inevitably leads to web pages that cannot be rendered properly in some browsers.  How does a redirect from one namespace to another lead to breaking something?  --Serge 23:53, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. The goal of the project is to make an encyclopaedia. As such, we should try to keep a separation between the encyclopaedia under construction (the pages in the main namespace) and everything which is not an encyclopaedia, but useful in the process of building the encyclopaedia (all other namespaces). Three-revert rule clearly falls in the latter category. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 08:03, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
 * As per WP:ASR, there is nothing wrong with Wikipedia articles that refer to Wikipedia in the appropriate context. I cannot imagine a more appropriate context to refer to Wikipedia than something so Wikipedia specific as the Three-revert rule.  What am I missing?  See the Talk page.  --Serge 16:53, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
 * If Wikipedia were any other website, AfD would have deleted an article on 3RR for being cruft. As a result, this argument is invalid, since the 3RR is not an encyclopedic topic. The whole point of ASR is to make life easy for our mirrors -- raising the "barriers to entry" in this case may well reduce the number of people interested in mirroring or reusing Wikipedia, which in turn reduces the number of people who can use the information in our encyclopaedia.

 * Keep - why can't we have every article with a redirect in capitals? Someone with their caps lock key accidentally on would find this useful. The redirect is not confusing or misleading. Please refer to the policy at the top of this page -- redirects like these exist for a reason. Johnleemk | Talk 14:48, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Someone can be stuck with a capslock key, but the solution is not a redirect page, but a smart automatic redirect at the MediaWiki level.--Amir E. Aharoni 16:07, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Then file a bug report (or vote for it if it already exists). Even so, making article titles case-insensitive is a bad idea for probably obvious reasons. Furthermore, even if they were case-insensitive, this redirect would not be caught. Whatever the case, until then, this redirect is useful. Johnleemk | Talk 16:42, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * If you're going to cater for people with caplock keys on (well, they should know better, but anyhow), then there's no point having isolated cases - it's got to be site-wide. Isolated cases only encourage more erratic cases. Consistency is helpful in these matters. Tyrenius 02:36, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I entirely concur that redirects are cheap. However, please realize that some people in reality call Louisville "Lousiville" (reads: Lousy ville) as a derogatory statement.  I thought that derogatory redirects were disallowed in the Wikipedia. &mdash;  Stevie is the man!  Talk 08:42, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * What counts is common usage. This appears to be a plausible typo, and if Louisville is commonly referred to this, this redirect would appear to be as justifiable as Dubya is. Johnleemk | Talk 11:36, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * "Dubya" isn't derogatory though. It's just a way of pronouncing "W".  Calling Bush "The Chimp" (which many do)--now, that's derogatory. &mdash;  Stevie is the man!  Talk 14:47, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Read the next to last paragraph ("For example, redirecting Dubya...") in When should we delete a redirect? above. In any case, the plausible misspelling seems to outweigh any offensiveness. Google shows quite a few cases of it being ligitimately misspelled. -- JLaTondre 11:43, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, plausible misspelling. -- JLaTondre 11:43, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

 * If the "Lousiville Technical Institute" (first result on Google search above) couldn't even get it right when Google last indexed them, I don't think it's that uncommon. -- JLaTondre 15:51, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
