The result of the discussion was wrong forum: the problem the nominator tries to address is the technical problem of Mediawiki, and should be discussed at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) instead. Dmitrij D. Czarkoff ( talk) 14:06, 28 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Deletion. Pages that redirect to another page will redirect to an old version of the page for users who are not logged in with certain browsers e.g. Safari and Chrome. The redirected page happens to be an old revision that has incomplete and inaccurate information. This falls under reason 2 of Reasons for Deletion: "The redirect might cause confusion."

  • This is hopefully a temporary problem with the Wikipedia site. Many other redirects like this one exist and never were problematic until relatively recently. PleaseStand ( talk) 01:08, 28 February 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. That logic would require the deletion of all redirects, a result which would be a serious disservice to our readers. This particular redirect is a capitalization variant, one of the preferred uses for redirects. It has existed since 2008 and was the location of the content prior to a pagemove. While there are no remaining internal links, we have no way to know if or where there are external links. Link rot is a problem to be avoided whenever feasible.

The result of the discussion was keep. Arbitrarily0 ( talk) 02:02, 6 March 2012 (UTC) reply

This redirect has for 7 years pointed to Campaign for Real Ale, but there is now a suggestion that there should be a dab page at CAMRA. Pam D 18:04, 27 February 2012 (UTC) reply

  • Keep redirect pointing to Campaign for Real Ale: this substantial organisation is the primary usage, over a marginally-notable community arts organisation. (I brought the discussion to RfD because other editors were scrapping about it, not because I believe that the status quo needs to be changed.) Pam D 18:49, 27 February 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Keep redirect. Campaign for Real Ale is clearly the primary topic by checking page views and reliable sources. The article was started with the name CAMRA back in 2001 by Jimbo Wales, and moved to Campaign for Real Ale in 2005, leaving CAMRA as a redirect. CAMRA is accessed an average of 40 times a day; Campaign_for_Real_Ale is accessed an average of 120 times a day; while Canberra_Academy_of_Music_and_Related_Arts is accessed an average of 3 times a day. Even if all three of the Canberra_Academy_of_Music_and_Related_Arts readers came via CAMRA, that still indicates that 92% of readers are going from CAMRA to Campaign_for_Real_Ale.

The result of the discussion was keep as retargeted. Arbitrarily0 ( talk) 02:04, 6 March 2012 (UTC) reply

I believe 'Military History' does not solely mean chamar or chamar regiment and I think its misleading as well. Shriram ( talk) 14:42, 27 February 2012 (UTC) reply

AFAIK "allizom", "mozilla" in reverse, is used today as a name for Mozilla's testing website for early staging versions of its websites. Now it redirects to SeaMonkey. Maybe it had something to do with SeaMonkey in the past, but it's not clear what it was and the article doesn't say it. It should better be deleted. Amir E.

The result of the discussion was delete all. None of these redirects had incoming links, other than to this discussion. Cheers! bd2412 T 05:07, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

All of these redirects are misspelled. None of these have any incoming article space links, and all are unlikely search targets. WP:CSD G6 has already been attempted and reverted. I'm not sure if I'm technically allowed to group them all up myself, but I thought I'd be a little WP:BOLD. - Niceguyedc Go Huskies! 05:57, 27 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Delete all as misspellings of "disambiguation". These are just leftovers from moves for the most part. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ  τ ¢ 06:59, 27 February 2012 (UTC) reply
