This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on August 6, 2009

Getallthefacts.com

The result of the discussion was Speedy delete (G11). Looks like an advertisement to me. Ruslik_Zero 16:06, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Originally nominated at Afd by mistake, here, by User:Sme3. The rationale was "This page appears to have been set up by User:Boyhere for the purpose of promoting the Comcast web site getallthefacts.com. See other edits by Special:contributions/Boyhere" This is a procedural nomination on my part. Olaf Davis (talk) 19:25, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unexplained symptoms

The result of the discussion was Delete. US does not seem to be a full synonym of MUPS. It may also have meanings outside medicine. Ruslik_Zero 16:16, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request delete because redirect is inaccurate, misleading, and over-reaching. The common term (unexplained symptoms) isn't a common synonym for Medically unexplained physical symptoms nor is it particularly accurate according to a literature review pg 829, Table 2. Consensus on talk page discussions they are not equivalent here and here. Ward20 (talk) 18:57, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Separation of males and females in Jewish law

The result of the discussion was no consensus. King of ♠ 06:15, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Implausible search term and not discussed in the main article. Tavix |  Talk  15:31, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Just wondering Apoc; are you actually aware of the guidelines at WP:REDIRECT or are you just making the reasons up as you go along? After all this search term would be both extremely hard to just randomly type in and the redirect target doesn't even have anything to do with the redirect in question.

Wikipedia talk:SANDY

The result of the discussion was Delete. Consensus is clear. Ruslik_Zero 15:55, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be a little used redirect which I think falls under the same umbrella policy that was applied during the deletion of WP:JJB at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2009_June_22#Wikipedia:JJB. If there is a consensus to delete all project-space redirects to userpages, then we should apply it to all. There is both WP:SANDY and WT:SANDY, created separately by different authors. I am not aware of SandyGeorgia having ever used these redirects herself. Soap Talk/Contributions 04:25, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think the point was that you can't tell when a specific person uses a redirect, as Soap seems to think he/she can (of SandyGeorgia having ever used these redirects herself.) Woody (talk) 08:50, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Usually the stats.grok.se site is reliable, but I think it has trouble with redlinks and certain redirects, and will only record a "hit" if someone views the page in a certain way. So I assume, anyway, if Andy Walsh says he uses these links several times per day. And to clarify, when I said Sandy wasnt using them herself I meant she wasn't using them as a signature, as the previously deleted WP:JJB had been. Sorry, I should have been more clear. My deletion rationale still stands, however, and I'm just posting to get rid of any misinformation in the nomination. -- Soap Talk/Contributions 13:51, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • That site is wrong. I actually have bookmarks in my browser to several pages here and WP:SANDY is one of them. --Andy Walsh (talk) 16:20, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I assumed your keep !vote was because 'WP:SANDY' is quicker to type than 'User:SandyGeorgia' and you use it a lot, Andy - but obviously it makes no difference for a bookmark. Given that is there actually any advantage? Olaf Davis (talk) 22:08, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't agree with special dispensations for users either—I wouldn't care if anyone had one of these. What is the harm? Of all the comments here, I don't see anything approaching a demonstratable harm. --Andy Walsh (talk) 16:17, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I truly have no opinion. (And I'm often on the wrong side of deletion discussions.) It it's convenient for other editors, it's their decision. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:53, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • That only applies to mainspace → userspace redirects. –Juliancolton | Talk 02:38, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Deleted. - Rjd0060 (talk) 20:40, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Had this been created within the last month of so, I'd ask for a speedy deletion as it is a most improbable misnomer (assuming good faith of the creator of the redirect). But this was one of the last edits its creator made... in 2005! I don't see the usefulness in this at all. B.Wind (talk) 04:23, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of conferences

The result of the discussion was Delete. Ruslik_Zero 15:49, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading and vague, "Conferences" can mean many different things, not just college athletic conferences. œ 00:39, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, it could still be useful for something in the future. Notice I did not even recommend deletion, I simply put it up 'for discussion'. Thank you for actually providing a useful alternative. -- œ 23:21, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
