The result of the discussion was Keep as Redirects are cheap and has some potential for use and no obvious harm.--Salix (talk): 10:59, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Walk away Renée ! → Walk away Renée (film) (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Incorrect punctuation. Redirect leftover after page-move to MOS compliant title. Unlikely search term. Livit⇑^Eh?/_What? 18:00, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep because it's a left-over from a valid pagemove. The new title is better but the original title was neither confusing nor obviously harmful to our readers. The redirect points the original readers/editors to the place where their content can be found and preempts the problem of editors who re-create content (inadvertantly forking the article) because they think that the first version was somehow eaten by the server rather than simply moved. Redirects are cheap and do more than merely support the search engine. Rossami (talk) 18:53, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy close as keep: this redirect [arguably] could be deleted if it was useless. Still, we can't be sure that nobody already bookmarked this, as we don't have usable usage stats. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 22:44, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong delete as malplaced redirect. The apostrophe exclamation mark is not commonly used. ApprenticeFan ^work 11:24, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you refer to U+00E9 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE as "apostrophe", then I strongly disagree: it is used at least as wide as the French language. And my keyboard layout ("us(hbs)" xkb symbol set) is capable of it. Actually, as of xkeyboard-config 2.5.1 48% (318 of 657) layouts are capable of this letter, which is nowhere close to "not common". — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 11:36, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Здравко Георгиев Здравков → HIV trial in Libya (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

The original version of this redirect was an autobiographical article that should have been speedily deleted per A7; compare it to User:Zzdravkov. It should be deleted because the title (Zdravko Georgiev Zdravkov) is the name of a non-notable Wikipedian, not the name of the doctor (whose name is Zdravko Georgiev). Gorobay (talk) 16:07, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy delete per WP:CSD § A7: criterion applies and no good target exists. I see no other options, actually. Note: in Slavic languages the name which comes after the first name is the father's name, so written in short form the subject of the article is Zdravko Zdravkov, and the doctor is Zdravko Georgiev. — Dmitrij D.

The result of the discussion was Housekeeping keep per WP:MALPLACED. As already advised, please use WP:RM to move the disambiguation page to the base name instead. JHunterJ (talk) 14:54, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Big Bang Theory → The Big Bang Theory (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

• Retarget to Big Bang Theory (disambiguation). Many users aren't aware that Wikipedia searching can be case sensitive, and a capital T on Theory isn't enough to disambiguate this term from the other options. 117Avenue (talk) 14:31, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy keep. We don't redirect "Foo" to "Foo (disambiguation)". If there's no consensus that the television program is the primary usage of the variant with an uppercase "T" in "Theory", the disambiguation page should be moved to Big Bang Theory. The correct process through which to propose this is WP:RM. —David Levy 14:48, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Like spinning plates → Amnesiac (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Should be deleted as Like Spinning Plates already redirects to Amnesiac. What a pro (talk) is on fire. 13:15, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as long as Like Spinning Plates points to the same place. Redirects for capitalization variants are routine. While the Wikipedia search engine is (now) case-insensitive, several of the other techniques that our readers use to navigate the wiki remain case-sensitive. It should probably be tagged with ((R from capitalization)), though. Rossami (talk) 18:47, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why do you always suggest redirected versions of these templates? Is there any benefit to use ((R from capitalization)) over ((R from other capitalisation))? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 22:30, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Why? I guess because I'm old and "R from capitalization" was the one I first learned. I am also a native American-English speaker and the s instead of z is not intuitive. Since it's redirected, the issue is moot. Whether I am mistaken, forgetful or merely lazy, the redirect insulates the project from my choice. By the way, that makes this a terrific case study for the value of redirects generally. Rossami (talk)
      • Indeed it is a terrific case study for use of redirects. Though I don't think we should mark pages with redirected tags in Redirects for discussion... — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 23:30, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Rossami. Actually, my means of navigation are not case-inensitive. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 22:30, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Macadoshis (rapper) → Tupac Shakur (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Only a one-sentence mention in target. Macadoshis and Tupac only collaborated once, so redirecting him to Tupac's article is coatracking. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 02:45, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom 70.24.251.71 (talk) 08:24, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and salt: a leftover after move to Macadoshis (the article back then), which was then redirected to Tupac Shakur. The Macadoshis (rapper) had quite a lot of hits until recently; given the quirky name it seems to be linked from somewhere off-wiki, and thus deleting this redirect would do a good job of avoiding confusion. I propose salting, as the source of traffic may bring some people willing to re-create the article when facing an empty page, and the WP:AFC would be a better place for this activity. — Dmitrij D.

• The Old Times Building → User:Nhlarry/Work-in-Progress/The Old Times Building (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Redirects to a user page. Hghyux (talk) 01:37, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Accidentally created the page. Meant it to be created within my user page for a work in progress. You can delete it. --Nhlarry (talk) 01:40, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
