July 1[edit]

The Beatles' miscellanea → Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles/The Beatles' miscellanea[edit]

The result of the debate was Deleted by Riana. -- JLaTondre 12:22, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cross-namespace redirect. I would just delete it, but I see there's already a reversal in the logs, and I don't want to wheel-war. Chick Bowen 04:06, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Delete - Cross-namespace redirect. I'll put it up for speedy right now. Cool Bluetalk to me 13:15, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Frank Beaumont → Francis Beaumont[edit]

The result of the debate was delete. -- Black Falcon (Talk) 03:30, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Frank" was not a nickname for "Francis" in the Renaissance. The Frank Beaumont linked to from Hermann Göring is obviously someone else; I'd write an article about him but I can't find anything about him. Chick Bowen 02:18, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. My editorial opinion is that Goring's Frank Beaumont is not notable outside the context of his master, so no new article should be written about him. Shalom Hello 05:52, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GAY → Wikipedia:Friends of gays should not be allowed to edit articles[edit]

The result of the debate was retarget Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies. WjBscribe 15:49, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The hope is to have this redirect point to Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies instead of the potentially offensive essay. As a precedent, note that WP:JEW redirects to Wikipedia:WikiProject Judaism. - Gilliam 18:49, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget as in nom. No need to delete, although incoming links should probably be corrected.--Fyre2387 (talk • contribs) 19:47, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget - But we're going to have to recreate another redirect to point to the meta essay if there already isn't one. I'll check... Cool Bluetalk to me 20:37, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget as above. I'll join Cool Blue in trying to make this work smoothly. Shalom Hello 01:44, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: If this redirect is to be retargeted, the existing links to it will have to be updated so that the linking pages don't become actually offensive. — The Storm Surfer 05:30, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • And someone familiar with meta might want to think about renaming that page. DGG 22:15, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • I don't think anyone's getting it renamed... It's been around for so long, and it's meant to be humorous. Cool Bluetalk to me 12:09, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Electro-Mag Rod → Turks (Final Fantasy VII)#Reno[edit]

The result of the debate was Kept (no consensus). -- JLaTondre 02:06, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The term is mentioned nowhere in the target article. Kariteh 21:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But the term is mentioned nowhere in the article! If it's (apparently) too minor to mention, why have a redirect? Kariteh 09:58, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirects are cheap. --Aarktica 02:22, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
