- Delete waay too vague to be useful. Could easily be referring to Pitcairn Island, which was mislocated on Royal Navy maps, thus "hidden", and refuge for the mutineers from the Bounty, so "hidden pirate island". Or any island hosting a hidden pirate base for pirates of any age or era, such as several such locations in the Caribbean. --

LGBT rights are not the same in the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands and the rest of the UK (as can be seen here:
LGBT rights by country or territory), so simply redirecting is misleading. In addition
LGBT rights in the United Kingdom makes no reference to the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. I therefore propose deleting this redirect as the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands have no native population. I think it is unlikely an editor has knowledge of the specific LGBT laws of the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands who can themselves create an accurate page on the issue.

Bindrune Recordings is a record label which signs numerous artists, including
Celestiial. As such, a redirect is inappropriate and misleading. The page was created because of a user's
distaste for redlinks based on a
rejected proposal. Our
guidelines on redlinks, of course, say nothing about how redlinks should be avoided- quite the opposite, in fact.

- There is no appropriate page for a redirect- that's why I've nominated it for deletion. A redlink is appropriate, and for that, the page needs to be deleted. That's why I'm frustrated, here- you seem to be committed to the idea that a redlink is a bad thing, and that anything is better than a redlink, but that simply is not the case. Please, take a look at
our guideline on redlinks.

Consensus at
WP:Articles for deletion/Involuntary celibacy (2nd nomination) was to Merge this article to Celibacy. However, the consensus at
Talk:Celibacy was to not keep any content after the merge on that page.
Tarc and
Mythic Writerlord have both expressed the opinion that a retarget to the author of the concept,
Denise Donnelly, makes more sense. Tarc requested that I post the RfD for him. IMHO, the redirect to celibacy makes more sense since our readers are better served by reading about the mainstream usage of the word than by reading one sentence about the topic in a biography.

- Note - The 'article'(
Denise Donnelly) that it's currently being redirected to
was supposed to have been deleted. This all seems very disturbing. Especially considering
this article at Salon and
this plea from one of the supporters of these articles. Perhaps it should be redirected to someone more appropriate, like
Antisocial personality disorder or
Psychopathy. Or someone should delve more deeply into this type of behavior and find psychological texts to find out where it should be directed to. I do not believe Wikipedia wants to be used a promotional tool for the people described in the Salon article. Disturbing.

- This case is very, very confusing to the unfamiliar eye and involves deletes, restores, moves, sockpuppetry, unusual AfD proceedings, etc. Here is a summary of events: An IP created
Involuntary celibacy in 2004. It was
nominated for deletion in January 2014, which
Coffee closed as merge. Then the block-evading sockpuppet Candleabracadabra moved
Involuntary celibacy to
Denise Donnelly and created an article on top of that. Coffee then closed
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Denise Donnelly as delete per
WP:CSD#G5, but because of the move, thousands of edits in the history of
Involuntary celibacy were ensnarled in the deletion. I cleaned up the mess made by the sock and moved the article history back to where it belonged, preserving the redirect to
Celibacy per the original AfD.
RHaworth then deleted the page, which I'm not sure why as 1) there is no XfD which supported deletion of
Involuntary celibacy; and 2) even if the editors at
Celibacy rejected the complete content of the page afterwards, it still has been merged once before and contains publicly visible revisions using content from
Involuntary celibacy. To comply with licensing, either the revision history of
Involuntary celibacy must be visible, or all of those intermediate revisions at
Celibacy must be suppressed. I don't really care about this particular redirect, but I just wanted to say that if this RfD is closed as delete, a simple delete won't do. In such a case the closing admin should either take those revisions and move them to some random place or suppress the intermediate revision history of
Celibacy. In the meantime, I have restored the history so that it is clearer to participants here what is going on. --

- Two clarifications: there are alternate attribution workarounds listed at
WP:Merge and delete, and
WP:Revision deletion, not the more opaque
WP:Oversight (shortcut WP:Suppression), is sufficient.
These are the affected revisions in
Celibacy.

- I am of the opinion that the events of the last few months have shown that the material is deemed unfit for Wikipedia by the majority of editors involved in these various articles the content found refuge in. The Celibacy article's editors are of the overwhelming opinion that the term is both a fringe theory as well as largely un-encyclopedic, and that it does not belong as a section of that article. The Denise Donnelly article was created by a known vandal for the sole purpose of creating a page in which to store the content; Donnelly herself and her supposed notability wasn't what inspired its creation, it was merely a ploy to include the material. A stand-alone article was also deemed undesirable. This makes me wonder: why should the term "involuntary celibacy" be linked to the article
celibacy still, even after consensus among the editors of celibacy has shown they consider the two terms unrelated? There is no mention of the term in the entire celibacy page, they have nothing to do with one another. Donnelly's article is the only one on the entire Wikipedia that mentions the term "involuntary celibacy", as being part of one of her researches. Therefore if there is going to be a redirect rather then a full delete, I believe the redirect should be to Denise Donnelly rather then celibacy. Although I personally would not be opposed to a full delete of the entire article seeing as though wherever it gets posted for discussion, consensus usually agrees the term is a fringe theory unfit for stand-alone articles or even to be included as a section some where else.

- I really don't see what the big deal is in regards to history preservation. If the current
Denise Donnelly stub was written from scratch, as attested to by the creator, and if the current
celibacy article contains no merged material from the old incel article (i.e. the merged content was deleted entirely), then what licensing provisions would be violated by this redirect's outright deletion?

Denise Donnelly looks fine to me. The merged content in

- Redirect to
celibacy and salt. Why is this matter provoking such endless discussion? A redirect to
Denise Donnelly is inappropriate since that article does no more than mention the term. A redirect to
celibacy is almost as inappropriate for the same reason. But if someone in the future felt that a little more should be said about Donnelly's study then the celibacy article would be the appropriate place to do it. —

- Delete - There is simply no place in this project to point this to. The previous AfD found consensus to merge to
celibacy as an alternative to deletion, but editors at talk:celibacy decided to ax the merged material as it was deemed fringe pseudo-science. There's no point in redirecting the reader to an article where they cannot find any info on the term, and an AfD result cannot force merged content to remain in a target article. The term has a single name-drop at
Denise Donnelly, but at the moment, the consensus form that AfD determined that the incel stuff should be extremely minimal if her bio is to remain. If it has no home, then the only option is deletion.

- Delete - per Tarc. A fringe theory redirected to a page of which the editors overwhelmingly agree it has nothing to do with, it seems more then a little fishy to me. Whether the articles past revisions get deleted or not is of little concern at this point as all the past revisions proof is the utter lack of encyclopedic value there is to the topic. The debate has dragged on long enough and is still endlessly being repeated over and over again, despite the conclusion always being more or less the same: either it is merge (and consistently lacking in a good location for such a merge) or delete. And this delete has already been carried out, after which inexplicably the material was restored to be redirect to a page it has nothing to do with. The longevity of the issue is baffling and I'd welcome a strong delete making and keeping it a protected red link, if possible. At least for the next year or so.

Celibacy target, because celibacy is voluntary by definition, and even unfortunate and misleading wording of this term does not make target article helpful here. —
