This seems like slang or jargon at best. There are other titles containing this word, and it seems like defaulting to search would be better in this case. There are 5 inward links, 3 of which are user pages. Mkcmkc (talk) 21:47, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I meant "slang or jargon" in the sense that most people in the world would not immediately assume that "Concomitant" (noun) refers to "Concomitant drugs". Nor should they. This would be like redirecting "residue" to "amino acid"--it makes a lot of sense in one particular context, but is misleading for readers in general. Also, a search for Dabify produces nothing--I have no idea what this is. Mkcmkc (talk) 17:07, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
To dabify, in Wikipedia terminology, is to turn into a disambiguation (a.k.a. "dab") page. Also, note that "concomitant"'s primary use is that of an adjective, not a noun, and in this context, the above counterexample is an improper (and incorrect) analogy. Reading the target article might abate any confusion as to the use of the word in the term (as an adjective). B.Wind (talk) 19:46, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yikes. Anyway, thanks for the definition. Mkcmkc (talk) 03:19, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Culpeper Star ExponentCulpeper, Virginia

[edit]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Media General#Virginia, the only place mentioned in the below discussion which actually mentions the newspaper. If the Culpeper, Virginia article is edited to mention the newspaper, then feel free to target it back there.--Aervanath talks like a mover, but not a shaker 11:08, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Culpeper Star-Exponent is the name of a newspaper based in Culpeper, Virginia, but I don't think that the name of the newspaper should be redirected to the article of the city in which it is based as they are two completely different topics. It would almost be as if the title of a company is redirected to the article of the city in which its headquarters are located. –Dream out loud (talk) 19:59, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Armenian Khojaly Genocide → Khojaly Massacre

[edit]
The result of the discussion was Delete. Ruslik (talk) 10:52, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not a term used even by Azerbaijan's media. A google search reveals hits only by Wikipedia mirrors and youtube. This redirect was most likely created such that it would get hits for searches for Armenian Genocide. Pocopocopocopoco (talk) 02:51, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:PLAXICO → Wikipedia:Complaints are not taken at face value

[edit]
The result of the discussion was Speedy Delete, G7 by Smashville. Lenticel (talk) 14:28, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect goes to a essay on complaints, and references shooting ones self. This is a reference to this article. BLP doing no harm being what it is, we should not be parading this living person's misfortune all over our wiki, making his last name into a joke, or essay regarding something negative. NonvocalScream (talk) 02:37, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as the essay writer...considering the entire essay is predicated on "Don't shoot yourself". The entire essay came about as a side discussion on ANI that we needed a WP:PLAXICO to remind people that being the first one to complain to ANI doesn't mean you "win". Also, Plaxico is his first name...and I highly doubt my essay telling people that complaints to admin noticeboards in anyway harms Plaxico Burress. How does this redirect harm him? --Smashvilletalk 04:12, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It pokes fun at his misfortune. It is directly in contravention of policy, states: The possibility of harm to living subjects is one of the important factors to be considered when exercising editorial judgment. Basically... it is just not the right thing to do. How does it bring him harm, I think it brings him undue attention, and I thought of him funnily when I saw it in this context.

Cream and sugar?
I should have asked on your talk page first... Would you be willing to consider deleting it author request in light of this, friend? :) NonvocalScream (talk) 04:35, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, since you asked nicely...--Smashvilletalk 04:45, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
