September 16[edit]

Potassium chlorochromate to Péligot's salt[edit]

The result of the debate was nomination withdrawn. — Gavia immer (talk) 17:39, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I created both articles. Please delete the redirect so that I can move Péligot's salt to Potassium chlorochromate. NerdyNSK 22:59, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Forget it, not needed anymore, I moved it to Potassium trioxo­chloro­chromate which I think is more correct name. NerdyNSK 23:13, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alli Joseph → Anthony D. Weiner[edit]

The result of the debate was Kept. She is mentioned in target. This is one the primary uses of redirects: to direct people to where content on a topic is contained. -- JLaTondre 17:02, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, this is a no-brainer (it should be "speedied," if there is such a thing). No reason exists for this person to be redirected to her ex-boyfriend. Macallan 12 01:12, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per above. --Macallan 12 04:15, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: Nominators generally should not add a "delete" opinion in the bulleted section of these discussions. Your opinion is clear from the nomination. Adding a bullet gives the impression that you're trying to have your opinion double-counted. It creates potential confusion for the admin who eventually has to close the discussion. Thanks.

  • Weak keep mainly because no valid argument for deletion has been offered. Subject is mentioned at the target, so the linkage is obvious (although the recursive link should be removed). No other references to this person on Wikipedia, but Google shows a lot of hits, which suggests notability. Obviously, there's no problem with converting the redirect into an article if the notability is actual. Should be tagged as {{R from subtopic}} or {{R with possibilities}} if kept.

  • Delete per nom. Marlith T/C 18:59, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. In this case redirect is used incorrectly. Google will find the name w/o it. Pavel Vozenilek 01:37, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The ex-boyfriend, unless notable in his own right, is a subtopic of the woman's biography. NeonMerlin 03:10, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm confused. The ex-boyfriend is notable and has an article. In his article, scant mention is made of Alli Joseph, and it does not look like she had a major effect on his political career. She is notable on her own merits (google hits), and is a strong candidate for a future WP article. There is no reason for her to be redirected to him.--Macallan 12 04:31, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. She is mentioned in the target article. These kinds of redirects are accepted as a way to keep us from having endless articles about people whose only claim to notability is an association with some other person. Note 1 - If she ever becomes clearly notable in her own right and that notability can be demonstrated, just overwrite the page. There is no need to delete the redirect from the pagehistory. Note 2 - Until that occurs, remove the circular redirect in the target article. Rossami (talk) 14:30, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
