The result of the discussion was no consensus. SchuminWeb (Talk) 16:48, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Correcting WP:TYPO: "lowa" (with a lowercase "L") should be "Iowa" (with an uppercase "I") -- I have already created a redirect page with the correct spelling and do not believe it is necessary to keep a redirect page to accommodate unusual typographical errors like this one.

The result of the discussion was Converted to Disambiguation. Xfd's are here to improve or delete things. There are a lot of pages improved during XfD. See the David Heymann article and the Wikipedia:The Heymann Standard. We don't use them to argue alone and leave the wiki pages that it discuss to rot. Please don't quench boldness.

I would like to retarget this redirect to a different page, preferably the article on Inequalities. Right now it seems only tangentially related to the article it points to. More appropriate towards mathematicians than "tech-savvies". :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 19:23, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • The essence of the discussion is whether or not this redirect should be retargeted to Inequalities. That is not affected by my suggested disamb which simply offers an alternative. If consensus is that the redirect should be retargeted, as you would like, then that will be the outcome. Bridgeplayer (talk) 00:52, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, that will be the outcome. But first consensus must be reached; the outcome cannot come before it, or any other cause. Look, let's discuss it here first, keep it as the redirect it once was, and if everything goes your way, we'll DAB it. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 00:55, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Whatever; for the record, this is the suggested disamb that you have just undone:

The result of the discussion was Keep for now. I suggest that the conflicting parties seek dispute resolution measures. Lenticel (talk) 00:55, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion. Non-notable individual redirected by editor who pulled a double redirect with Duane reasoner Atlantabravz (talk) 19:13, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy close as keep - edit dispute - this RFD is a collateral from an edit dispute, between the nominator and creator (who I have notified), going on at Jihobbyist. The nominator, here, has just removed a big chunk of sourced content referring to this guy. If that text stays out then the target is inappropriate; however, if the text remains in then the redirect is fine. People do not need to be notable to get a redirect; simply that we have something worthwhile to say. Such redirects also have the benefit of reducing the chances of a page being written on a nn person. There is, though, nothing we can do here until the edit dispute has been resolved. Bridgeplayer (talk) 19:54, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy close as keep - edit dispute Nominator is part of movement by other editors to remove all mention of a fellow who has been covered by many Jihad watch blogs as well as mainstream US press (ABC) and international UK press as the ONLY well known associate of Nidal Hassan who murdered 13 unarmed soldiers in the name of Jihad and defensive warfare of his religion. Any time an editor declares a person who has been mentioned by the international press as "non-notable" s/he is most probably trying to enforce a POV which so far has been partially successful in keeping this person from public scrutiny on WP, if not the world press and blogosphere. Reasoner was quoted as REFUSES TO CONDEMN the attack because it is against "soldiers sent to kills muslims", a position and wording IDENTICAL TO ANWAR AL-WLAKI AND REVOLUTION MUSLIM, and likely congruent with the views of Hasan himself, for whom there is no doubt what Nidals thoughts were about killing US soldiers. This person who is still at large, and is suspected to may have arranged Hasan to contact Revolution Muslim and then contact Awlaki who proclaimed it an Islamic duty to kill US soldiers. There are certainly more than a few editors on WP who have a taken a position on whether or not Fort Hood was a terrorist incident who do not want this information to be on WP for obvious reasons, and have been quite active in routinely nominating ANY article on suspected Islamic terrorists for deletion.

The result of the discussion was Delete. Lenticel (talk) 00:57, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion. Non-notable individual who is questionably quoted in the article. Has another redirect for Duane Reasoner, Jr. Atlantabravz (talk) 19:13, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - it is a real bad idea to have two redirects for the same person going in different directions. In this case the target is too tangential to justify the redirect. If Duane Reasoner, Jr. is ultimately kept then a new redirect, at the correct capitalisation Duane Reasoner, and to the better target, can be created. Bridgeplayer (talk) 20:39, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge Better solution is to have one redirect to another, then turn the link into its own article has some editors say that articles about Fort Hood and Hasan aren't relevant enough to include in much depth in either article, although there is certainly enough content in RS to creat a stand-alone article considering his possible role in the Fort Hood shootings as the only well known physical associate of Hasan who shared political and religious views concerning shooting US soldiers in defence of Islam.
