- Keep: Non-free content criteria policy explicitly allows such redirects, and there is no deletion rationale presented or obvious from circumstances. Note, "CXWMS" appears to be common abbreviation for Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School, so this redirect is compliant with WP:SURPRISE. — Dmitrij D.

Delete; no primary target. Article on a clearly non-notable player created specifically to get the first edit on the page. Met with both PROD and PROD2 tags, causing creator to simply redirect it to a random related article with no clear evidence that this particular article is better than 2014 NHL Entry Draft, Sweden men's national junior ice hockey team, 2014 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, 2014 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships rosters or 2014–15 Arizona Coyotes season. Dolovis has pulled this stunt before, e.g.: Victor Rask, Eamon McAdam, Yan-Pavel Laplante. As with those examples, this page is better off as a redlink until the player gains notability.

- Also going to add Matthew Mistele, which was redirected the same way by the same person with the same problems. Reso lute 15:05, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Anton Karlsson (ice hockey, born 1996) with extreme prejudice: we don't have a page at

WP:BADIDEAs.
KeepDon't delete Matthew Mistele: he is mentioned in the target article, so this redirect is OK. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff ( talk• track) 16:22, 6 July 2014 (UTC)- Mistele is mentioned in several articles, actually. What makes this random page more appropriate than any other page?

- The result of the discussion was retarget to Linux. -- BDD ( talk) 20:42, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
GNU/Linux redirects to Linux, and "GNU+Linux" is basically another way to say the same thing. At the same time, while "GNU/Linux" is commonly used, "GNU+Linux" is mostly used by Free Software Foundation and friends, so retargetting to GNU variants#Linux variants may also make sense. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff ( talk• track) 10:51, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
- Should redirect to Linux. GNU+Linux refers to the operating system formed by the GNU operating system and the Linux kernel. Wikipedia's article about that combined operating system is Linux, so that's where GNU+Linux should point to. (The Linux article should be titled GNU/Linux, but that's a different discussion; regardless of the current name of that article, the content of Linux corresponds with GNU+Linux.)
