• Keep - this was originally an article that was subsequently redirected. As such, it should be kept to preserve the history. It is also a conceivable search term as shown by the smattering of hits. Bridgeplayer (talk) 21:39, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Too-short → Template:Expand ((Lead too short))(links to redirect • history • stats) 

Ambigious redirect like this, per the other "too short" noms. "Too-short" could refer to ((Expand)), ((Stub)), ((Expand section)) or ((Lead too short)) depending on where it's used, thus we're better to delete this unused redirect rather than creating confusion by its existence.

• Template:Too short → Template:Lead too short (links to redirect • history • stats) 

Ambigious redirect like this. "Too short" could refer to ((Expand)), ((Stub)), ((Expand section)) or ((Lead too short)) (where it currently redirects) depending on where it's used. As it's mostly unused (besides some talk pages, where it should simply be removed), should be deleted to avoid misuse of the redirect. The Evil IP address (talk) 21:28, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Too Short → Template:Lead too short (links to redirect • history • stats) 

Ambigious redirect like this. "Too Short" could refer to ((Expand)), ((Stub)), ((Expand section)) or ((Lead too short)) (where it currently redirects) depending on where it's used. As there's currently a navbox with the same title, suggest deleting this completely unused redirect to give the navbox a clearer title. The Evil IP address (talk) 21:24, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There's a rapper called Too Short. Deleting this allows something to be recreated here that will conflict with ((too short)). Causing confusion. Rich Farmbrough, 21:28, 23 May 2010 (UTC).[reply]

((too short)) is also proposed for deletion. While I recognize it's not an ideal situation, this solution is the least confusing. --The Evil IP address (talk) 00:32, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was First two kept and remaining three deleted. -- JLaTondre (talk) 14:06, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Methionylthreonylthreonyl...isoleucine → Titin (links to redirect • history • stats)
• Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylarginyl...isoleucine → Titin (links to redirect • history)
• Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylala… → Titin (links to redirect • history)
• C132983H211861N36149O40883S693 → Titin (links to redirect • history)
• Titin (full chemical name) → Titin (links to redirect • history)

Suggesting deletion of all these redirects associated with Titin. The first three are truncated versions of the very long verbal formula (not really a word), and are not even specific to this protein (some other proteins will have the same form of name due to the truncation). So per deletion reason 7: "If the redirect is a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name, it is unlikely to be useful" I suggest deletion. The same argument applies to the chemical formula, and the only reason for keeping the "full chemical name" one is if you want to have the full name in the page history there. Some of the pages have discussions, which should be copied over into the archives of Talk:Titin where this issue has been discussed in depth. The latest discussion is here. All of the redirects except the chemical formula one have page history as well, and while I would usually suggest retaining such page history, the redirects themselves are not needed. Finally, the valid redirects connectin and Q8WZ42 exist, as can be seen here, and the TTN symbol is listed at TTN. Carcharoth (talk) 11:09, 23 May 2010 (UTC) Have notified those who edited and discussed these redirects in the past - 17 editors notified - plus note left at Talk:Titin. Carcharoth (talk) 12:13, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have different opinions for different redirects:

• Delete Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylala… because of the misspelling and Titin (full chemical name) because of the unhelpful parenthetical. (Also, both of these appear to have originally been created as novelty articles just to list the full name.)
• Keep Methionylthreonylthreonyl...isoleucine and Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylarginyl...isoleucine because they are likely oft-cited forms.
• No opinion on C132983H211861N36149O40883S693. If we normally redirect chemical formulae (cf. H2O, C6H12O6), then keep. If not, then delete. —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 11:25, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all: None of the redirects are specific to titin. There are an infinite number of proteins whose amino acid sequence starts with "Met-Thr-Thr-Glu-Arg" and ends with "Ile". There are also close to an infinite number of proteins with the molecular formula C_132,983H_211,861N_36,149O_40,883S₆₉ (just scramble the titin sequence). In addition, the truncated chemical names that are used for these redirects are arbitrarily chosen. Why stop with redirects names formed from the first three or five amino acids and the last amino acid? Why not redirects formed from the first three and last three amino acids. There are close to an infinite number of redirects that could be formed. These redirects are neither practical nor useful. It is extremely unlikely that someone would be searching exactly for "Methionylthreonylthreonyl...isoleucine". Boghog (talk) 11:45, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The "formula" redirect would be worth keeping if not for the argument Boghog2 has given; the full name of the chemical is on the Sarah McCulloch site, and if an internal link is desired, we might be able to use wikisource, but it isn't really necessary to have it on Wikipedia. It's also preserved in the edit history of the page due to long-ago edit wars, and just for fun I've typed it out on my talk page as well (which, I assure you, I will soon archive, as it was getting pretty long even before today). —Soap— 14:55, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all, except for maybe the formula, per Boghog2. XXX antiuser ^eh? 20:40, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Methionylthreonylthreonyl...isoleucine and Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylarginyl...isoleucine - foreseeable search terms as shown by the stats. Keep others with a merged history for GFDL reasons. Bridgeplayer (talk) 21:42, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Which stats are you referring to? Carcharoth (talk) 00:47, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • See here and here, for example. Bridgeplayer (talk) 01:56, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Only delete harmful or new redirects. Rich Farmbrough, 22:14, 23 May 2010 (UTC).[reply]
  • Do you think the mis-spelt one should be deleted? And would you agree to protecting the other redirects to avoid the periodic edit wars that spring up on them? And then salting the other redirects that will be created in the future (there are quite a lot of variations in truncated names that could be created in good-faith here, all completely useless). Carcharoth (talk) 00:47, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • The fact of a misspelling is absolutely no grounds for deletion. We have many misspelt redirects. The purpose of a redirect is simply to enable readers to find to find information they seek. If the misspelling is common then they should be kept if the stats show they are used as a search term. If any of the redirects that have a history, together with old content that has been merged, then deleting would breach our GFDL obligations. Consequently, before any redirect with a history is deleted, the deleting admin would need to check through the histories to make sure that there was no merged content.

• Keep C132983H211861N36149O40883S693 as is the chemical. 70.29.210.155 (talk) 04:49, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge Titin (full chemical name) (content before redirection) to the article. 70.29.210.155 (talk) 04:49, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylala… and Titin (full chemical name) per GPHemsley. Sideways713 (talk) 10:05, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Having redirect pages like this [1] [2] for proteins is ridiculous.Biophys (talk) 19:19, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination. Please do not modify it.

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was expanded into an article, no longer a redirect. Non-admin close. —  Glenfarclas  (talk) 07:40, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Walter Girardi → Graziano Girardi (links to redirect • history • stats) 

Delete. Apparent mistake since 11 September 2006. All incoming links refer to the Italien skier it:Walter Girardi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael Bednarek (talk • contribs) 13:55, 23 May 2010
