Unlikely redirect, a reader will either look for Horse Island Light, or Sacketts Harbor Light

- Keep - this was the target's title until the nominator moved the page. Harmless, so there is no benefit from deletion which could cause harm by breaking links in external sites. Since deletion does no good, leave well alone. Bridgeplayer ( talk) 19:41, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
- Is there a policy I am unaware of about preserving links in external sites? I thought unlikely targets are removed, but please let me know so I'll stop nominating unlikely redirect targets. -- Muhandes ( talk) 09:21, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- There is some explanation at WP:RFD#HARMFUL. We have a cooperative relationship with the mirrors and don't take actions that might break their links without good reason. The grounds for deletion, and reasons not to delete, are given in the subsequent sections. As you will note, for established titles being an 'Unlikely redirect' is not a grounds for deletion. Redirects are cheap so they should only be deleted when they are harmful. Bridgeplayer ( talk) 23:32, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks, that was me misunderstanding the policy. Withdrawn.-- Muhandes ( talk) 06:11, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

- List of books by title → Wikipedia:Wikiproject Books/List of books by title ( links to redirect • history • stats)
This cross name space redirect leads to a set of lists which were deleted from mainspace 3 years ago Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of books by title: 0-9 (2nd nomination). Deleted material should not by accesible from main space via a redirect. Yoenit ( talk) 17:56, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
- Delete Improper cross-namespace redirect. -- Cybercobra (talk) 20:13, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was retargeted by Rammer and agreed to by the nominator. NAC. Bridgeplayer ( talk) 22:47, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
- Scott Perrilloux → District attorney ( links to redirect • history • stats)
- Scott M. Perrilloux → District attorney ( links to redirect • history • stats)
Delete both. Apparently Scott M. Perrilloux is the name of the district attorney in a particular district of Louisiana. An enthusiastic user even added his picture to the District attorney article. However, that does not make these redirects useful to readers. An article about this particular individual might be useful, but the district attorney article is not about him, and the redirects are misleading. R'n'B ( call me Russ) 13:49, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
- Delete and Fix. I am moving the picture and redirecting the redirect. I am not "enthusiastic" about anything. I did not intend to mislead. I agree with everything else above. Thanks for the reminders. Rammer ( talk) 14:57, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
- Retarget as implemented by Rammer. Bridgeplayer ( talk) 20:56, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't see how "GAG" has to do with the banning policy. Very implausible. — Train2104 ( talk • contribs • count) 01:59, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
- Retarget to Category:Wikipedia humor, a plausible search term for appropriate humor categories. JJ98 ( Talk) 07:58, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
- Retarget to Category:Wikipedia humor. This was obviously created as a pointy redirect by an indef blocked sock. However, it is potentially useful for the suggested retarget. Bridgeplayer ( talk) 21:01, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
- As nominator, I propose retargeting to Wikipedia:Good article criteria, but I think further input is necessary given the comments above. — Train2104 ( talk • contribs • count) 23:58, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, I don't see this as a good redirect to Wikipedia:Good article criteria but Category:Wikipedia humor looks useful. Bridgeplayer ( talk) 19:34, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
