WP:Shortcut to failed proposal, with no accompanying talk page and very few linking pages. 12 hits in last 90 days John Vandenberg (chat) 16:35, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. The shortcut may have been useful back in 2008 when this was a hot topic but it's a moot issue now and nobody cares anymore. How many pages link to it, though? Server space is free, and we don't want to make it too hard for somebody who might be digging into the history of image use on Wikipedia. - Wikidemon (talk) 18:47, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Three pages link to it. (User:CBM/NFCC discussion 2007-9-17, Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria/Proposal & Wikipedia talk:Non-free content/Archive 28) I'll update those links to point to the full page name once this is deleted. John Vandenberg (chat) 02:47, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Prior to the nomination, the shortcut was only linked from three pages. It was created by Wikidemon created it. What does the nominator want to become of it? If there's another, more active page for which WP:LIP would be a good mnemonic, that would be a valid reason to retarget this. No such page has been mentioned, so I'm assuming the nominator wants it deleted. Is there a reason? If it's purely to free up a slot in the Wikipedia: name-space, please note that there are 17 576 (26 times 26 times 26) possible shortcuts of the form WP: followed by three letters. Looking at User:Scott/Notes/Shortcut table I see a lot of short shortcuts still available. With four letters after WP:, there are 456 976 possiblities. I took a quick look at the guideline linked from the nomination, WP:SHORTCUT, and the only text I found in it that discourages the unrestrained, profligate creation of shortcuts is the caveat that shortcuts are "usually from the Wikipedia namespace". If there's an impulse to conserve the name-space, changing the guideline would be a good place to begin. For example, requests could be made to only make shortcuts to project pages, to only create one shortcut per target page, or to wait until a proposal has attained consensus before making a shortcut to it. Keeping failed proposals, and the means to find them, is useful as a way to avoid repeating them. —rybec 03:02, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My God, somebody actually found that useful!! I think you're the first! :-) — Scott • talk 16:42, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SHORTCUT for a content category with ~10 articles. 17 pageviews in last 90 days. John Vandenberg (chat) 15:23, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Now you are pulling this individual XfD into some general policy one. Wasn't it you who disallowed exactly that some weeks ago, as a closing admin at that? You seem too pick your way by the day. -DePiep (talk) 07:37, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CNR without a prefix; has a shorter shortcut CAT:SVG. John Vandenberg (chat) 12:50, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This doesn't look like the title of a regular article, nor like something someone would search for when looking for non-project content. The name makes it obvious that this has something to do with an image, or images that is/are in raster format but could be converted to SVG. If it were tagged with ((R to project)) then someone forking or mirroring Wikipedia could easily identify it as Wikipedia-specific and deal with it, if desired. —rybec 03:24, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

no point having this redirect, it was only created so 2014 BDO World Darts Championship has no red links. Koppapa (talk) 12:35, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to David Molina. (NAC) Armbrust The Homunculus 11:14, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Should be deleted to make room for potential use by someone actually named David Guerra. IMDB has seven of them. Another editor recently had to move a redlink in the Spinal Tap film article to point to "David Guerra (actor)" instead. Disambiguation shouldn't be needed. InedibleHulk (talk) 02:51, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

agree with 70.50.148.122, also WP:REDNOT advises that "red links to personal names should be avoided" —rybec 06:54, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good to me, too. InedibleHulk (talk) 07:03, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dead template redirect. Redirect left by a move in 2007; no pages use, or will ever use, this template redirect. The Bushranger One ping only 01:32, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

At one point, this redirect may have made sense, to a since-removed section of a since-redirected article. It's pretty literally cruft now. BDD (talk) 00:40, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the version of that article at the time the redirect was created. It was apparently a working title for The Simpsons Movie, but it's not mentioned there either. --BDD (talk) 17:34, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That blue Harvest is a different article. Blue Harvest was originally an article about the working title for Return of the Jedi. The other article was recently moved form its original title Blue Harvest (Family Guy) as being the only article with that title meaning the the orginial Blue Harvest much have in fact been deleted unless I am missing something.--174.93.163.194 (talk) 23:36, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That article was moved to Blue Harvest (Star Wars). As mentioned above, it has since been redirected to Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. The normal process of fixing double redirects is how we ended up with "Yellow Harvest" pointing there. --BDD (talk) 23:58, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
