June 10[edit]

IBM REXX → REXX[edit]

The result of the debate was Kept. -- JLaTondre 12:21, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Page was moved from REXX to IBM REXX and then back on the same day (today) by the same editor, this redirect is left over. There is no need to keep it for search avoidance, as searching for IBM REXX pulls up REXX in the top four articles. I recommended it for speedy deletion, Pascal.Tesson objected. RossPatterson 00:59, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I objected to the speedy deletion and still object to the deletion. Anybody looking for IBM REXX on Wikipedia will want to go to REXX so it's clearly a useful redirect and I can't say I see any advantage to deleting it and I don't think any such advantage is provided by the nominator. Pascal.Tesson 00:13, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This does no particular harm, and can potentially help with both searching and linking. No reason to delete it. -- Gavia immer (talk) 14:09, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Redirects are cheap. --Aarktica 23:59, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the previous comments. mattbr 11:48, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dositheus → Agasias[edit]

The result of the debate was Deleted. -- JLaTondre 12:22, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The target article is a dab, between two sculptors of that name. One of them is Agasias son of Dositheus, but there is no evidence that we know anything else about that Dositheus. Better that anyone who links here should have a redlink, than that he should link to what is certainly the wrong article. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 19:25, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Darklock/User boxes → User:Darklock/User boxes[edit]

The result of the debate was speedied. Johnleemk | Talk 11:46, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is a page of userboxes erroneously created in the mainspace. I moved the page from the mainspace to userspace, but that left a cross-namespace redirect. Metropolitan90 06:25, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, I am so sowwy. :( Darklock 06:30, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete - Cross-space redirect. I'll put it up for speedy right now. Cool Bluetalk to me 11:34, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Geosgaeno → Spira (Final Fantasy X)[edit]

The result of the debate was Deleted. -- JLaTondre 12:19, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Geosgaeno is the name of a minor boss in Final Fantasy X. It's not notable so information about it was probably erased at some point; as a result, Geogaeno is not mention in the Spira article nor anywhere else. This redirect should thus be deleted because it has nowhere to point to. Kariteh 08:20, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I'm familiar with the game, and I agree the redirect is not suitable. Ideally, it could point to a list of FFX bosses, or similar list, but not to Spira. Since no relevant article exists, and no article mentions this term, then its better to delete. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 21:25, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I too am familiar with this game. Geosgaeno is a completely trivial Boss. Negligibly minor role in the first encounter, and the second encounter is an optional sidequest. No relevance to the game whatsoever. Wikipedia is WP:NOT a place for storing minutiae. --—ΔαίδαλοςΣ 17:28, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am a crazy rabid squirrel → Over the Hedge (film)[edit]

The result of the debate was Deleted. -- JLaTondre 01:56, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uhh, I don't really see the need for this redirect. --AAA! (AAAA) 08:46, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • It is a notable quote from the movie, but an unlikely search term. Anyone typing that in would know what the title of the movie was, probably type in Over the Hedge, and see the note to see Over the Hedge (film). Delete Cool Bluetalk to me 11:32, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. per Cool Blue. This redirect is suitable for Wikiquote, not Wikipedia. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 14:16, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - the phrase is not particularly significant in terms of the movie. GracenotesT § 20:07, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: the claim "anyone typing that in would know the title of the movie" makes no sense. Do you automatically recognize the source of every quote you stumble across? If this were a more widely used quote, I would strongly argue to keep (hey, redirects are cheap, so why not?), but I can't find any evidence that it is widely used, so I'll stay neutral. But we do have many existing redirects from particularly notable quotes, and for good reason. Xtifr tälk 09:28, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Role of women in religion → Women as theological figures[edit]

The result of the debate was Disambig until an actual article written. While I agree an article would be appropriate, we have a number of articles that cover women in specific religions and a disambig provides people searching by this term with information. -- JLaTondre 00:28, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest recreating as a stub article with links to Role of women in Judaism, Christian views of women, etc. rather than an outright deletion. The problem with the current redirect is that the two topics appear to be distinct. The Women as theological figures article focuses on women who play a prominent role in religious writings, while the "Role or women in..." articles that exist for various specific religions focus on religious law, practice, and beliefs about women and women's roles. Since the topic is potentially controversial, would appreciate comments prior to taking any action. --Shirahadasha 22:37, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • The one thing I can say from experience is that redirecting to any target is likely to be controversial for reasons Shirahadasha articulated. Rewriting from scratch seems like a valid idea to me. YechielMan 03:51, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I support a rewrite. I just went here from a link (on the Women and Islam page, which covers much more than women as theological figures) and was surprised at where it sent me. Calliopejen1 03:45, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rewrite the page, because the redirect should--if anything--go the other way. DGG 04:15, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
