The result of the discussion was delete. A redlink may encourage someone to write an article. JohnCD (talk) 20:16, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Per this Help Desk thread, the Merchant Prince article now covers only the first game in the series. The link to Merchant Prince II needs to be a redlink until someone writes about the second game. John of Reading (talk) 20:59, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading redirect. Lamb is not involved in the group that is the subject of the redirect, he is only used as a source in the article. nableezy - 19:20, 4 May 2011 (UTC) 19:20, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete. Ruslik_Zero 18:35, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is oddly a Mandarin re-direct to a Korean name, and per WP:FORRED, we are advised not to create such re-directs. A potential historical, or even BLP, article (either is certainly possible) is a question for another time. Focus on the deletion discussion now –HXL's Roundtable and Record 16:07, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

From the page before it was redirected: "As of March Qatar has thus far not experienced any major protests on ground". Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and as such this is a misleading redirect. Can easily be recreated if newsworthy protests happen, but it's not a guarantee. Closedmouth (talk) 14:06, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also nominating this one, obviously:

Now-useless temporal redirect. Closedmouth (talk) 12:14, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • This would be a good target for an article about a list of past predictions, in this case a list of predictions about a period encompassing 2009 made prior to that period. We have a list of predictions and Timeline of the future in forecasts and an entire Category:Futurology, so it's the sort of article I would expect us to have, and I have a vague recollection of reading such an article, but I can't find one. I'll ask at the help desk. Thryduulf (talk) 22:11, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete. My enquiries and further searching led nowhere, so it seems my memory was playing tricks on me. Although I still think this should redirect somewhere I've been completely unable to find a suitable target, so I reluctantly must recommend deletion for the time being. Thryduulf (talk) 00:32, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, the current target is pointlessly overbroad and unhelpful, yet there seems to be no other suitable target. Thryduulf is right that theoretically a good article could be written on this topic; in that case, a redlink would be preferable.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 22:19, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unused redirect to an existing template, PD-art is clearer as to the nature of the license. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:11, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • General comment, looking at the history of these license template redirects, most of them seem to date from before the era of drop-down license selection. In the context of people having to manually type the template name at the time of upload, most of these make perfect sense (e.g. "Art-pd" -> "PD-art" is a very logical redirect). What part they play in today's image uploading world I don't know - do people still manually type license templates at all and, if so, do redirects get bypassed by bot?

Possibly unused redirect to existing template. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:52, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - helps editors type correct licenses. (I just typed this one--and I'm an experienced editor--and was terribly puzzled when the RFD notice came up.) The only reason I can imagine that this is not in use is that they have been repaired by editors or bots. Why would we delete these variants? Calliopejen1 (talk) 15:51, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Revert. Ruslik_Zero 18:23, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget/Revert to the version prior to 2011 April 30, when it targetted Bug river. The user who retargetted the redirect used a "minor" edit note, when this is in fact a major edit. "Bug river" seems to be going for a snow-keep, at the AfD that user started on it. According to that AfD, "Western Bug" is not clearly primary, and indeed "Southern Bug" seems primary if looking at Encyclopedia Britannica. So this should be restored as a dab page redirect. It has an incorrect redirect template if it points to Western Bug. 64.229.100.153 (talk) 06:09, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
