Divided into 5 subgroups which may have different possible reasoning. I'm recommending delete on all. Any comments related to all of the groups might be placed here, instead of in the individual subgroups.

Withdraw most as ((R from Unicode)). I don't have a script which will put them back (actually, I pasted all of these in manually). Would the closer (JA, if you want to) please include ((R from Unicode)) after the redirect. As no one else has "voted" Delete, those could be speedy keep, so any who wants to could fix it. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 00:04, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They don't look misleading to me. SchmuckyTheCat 00:02, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep all of them. Arthur Rubin is on some strange and disruptive campaign to delete useful redirects. The redirects can be useful for those who don't know what a character is. Some browsers do not properly display characters. For example, ① (which is a 1 with a circle around it) might be displayed as a square. Someone who wonders what it is, pastes it into the URL, and follows it would be redirected to 1 (number). Then they will realize that the character has something to do with the number one. I do this frequently with characters that I encounter on the Internet and do not display on my browser or that I wish simply to learn about. There is no merit whatsoever in deleting them. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 01:30, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The ones mapping to Anarchist symbolism are wrong, to begin with, and I have doubts about the ones pointing to Diaeresis and to Quotation mark. I'm trying to WP:AGF, but JA has created thousands of redirects which have at most marginal value. (It should also be noted that not all of the ones I tagged are his — and I only tagged those of his which could not qualify as ((R from alternate language)) or ((R from mispelling)) or ((R from title without diacritics)) or one of the other plausible R from ... tags .) If I create Wikipedia:Unnecessary redirecting user redirecting to User:JarlaxleArtemis, would there be any objection? There's no dispute that the redirects are necessary, so — — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 07:12, 30 August 2006 (UTC) (Italics added 23:20, 30 August 2006 (UTC))[reply]
  • Comment It should also be noted that pasting into the URL will generally fail; one has to paste it into the search box for it to work. This is minor, except to show that JA doesn't know what he's talking about, in general. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 23:22, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or retarget the redirects to Anarchist symbolism as being misleadingly overspecific (I don't have a good suggestion for retargeting, but if one is offered, that is better than deleting). Keep all others; they seem to be good redirects, and at the least User:Arthur_Rubin has not given any good reason to mass-delete them. --Gavia immer 14:38, 30 August 2006 (UTC))Delete remaining nominations that Arthur Rubin has not withdrawn.

• Arthur Rubin, you are the one who doesn't know what you are talking about. Pasting into the URL always works. Pasting into the search engine rarely works. You should research your statements before saving bullshit. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 01:47, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Pasting into the URL works in some browsers, but not all. (It doesn't work in the browsers I use at home, for example.) I haven't had any trouble with pasting it into the search field, though. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 20:00, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

However, it probably isn't worth the database space to delete this, as it's doing no harm. --ais523 13:32, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
