Slog (blog)blog

The result of the debate was Deleted. -- JLaTondre 13:59, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect is a neologism that does not appear to be in established use outside of the blog post that coins the term. I suggest deletion per WP:NEO and WP:NOT#OR. Muchness (talk) 02:13, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

'99 Luftballons' → 99 Luftballons

The result of the debate was delete. John Reaves 09:31, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It has apostrophes in both sides. This is just for emphasis making it an implausible typo. Many similars cases t that have been nominated for deletion ans successfully deleted Magioladitis (talk) 01:25, 24 January 2008 (UTC) Delete there is absolutely no reason why it needs apostrophes.

Capitals of KoreaSeoul

The result of the debate was redirected to Capital of Korea. John Reaves 09:32, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This problematic page was PRODded by me, as it was completely redundant, then an IP editor turned it into a redirect to Seoul. Since Pyongyang is also the capital of the other Korea though, it doesn't make sense as a redirect and it's not that likely a search term - I just say delete here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HisSpaceResearch (talkcontribs) 13:45, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Is it even a necessary disambiguation page? I can't think of any countries that are divided in the same way as Korea is and still exist today with full international recognition of two sovereign states (like how Yemen used to be), but it's interesting to note that Capital of England, Capital of France and Capital of Germany are all redirects - so I presume this is standard practice in these cases, but it becomes problematic in this unique and unusual case.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 19:11, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mediterranean Grand PrixValencia Street Circuit

The result of the debate was editor is fixing? John Reaves 09:30, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect could not be more wrong. The Mediterranean Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held in the 1950s and 1960s. The Valencia Street Circuit is a Spanish racing circuit on which the 2008 European Grand Prix will be held. This race is not, nor ever has been, known as the Mediterranean Grand Prix, and is completely unrelated to the original event. There is no article on the Mediterranean Grand Prix, but there are red links here and there. As it stands, this redirect is meaningless and misleading.

  • The source on that old version of the page contradicts what the editor has written in that there's no mention of a revival of the 'Mediterranean Grand Prix' name, and I've never seen this new race referred to as anything but the European Grand Prix. But I much appreciate your comments, I will attempt to find out enough to put a reasonable article together on the Mediterranean Grand Prix.
