These three redirects are all paintings by Francis Bacon. They are part of a six piece series. I, II and VI already have articles. These three do not yet have articles but they could plausibly be turned into articles. They are not discussed in the article on Francis Bacon at this time. They fall into
WP:RFD#DELETE #10.

- Keep. These redirects serve a purpose and are potential search terms. If "they could plausibly be turned into articles", then let's keep them! --- Another Believer ( Talk) 17:13, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Originally nominated for speedy deletion by Jon Kolbert with the reason: "unused redirect"; unused and overly generic redirect. FASTILY 07:58, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - I'll repost what I wrote in Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 March 24#File:Logo PVV.png, noting that a community discussion regarding file redirects may be due: The instructions for moving a file state, "After moving the file, please replace all uses of the old file link with the new one.", hence all file redirects should be orphaned. The guidance concerning file redirects states, "As when a page is moved, a redirect is left when moving files. In most cases the file redirect should remain on the original page, except if the original name falls under one of the revision deletion criteria (purely disruptive, grossly insulting, privacy breaching, etc.) or shadows a file on Commons."; they shouldn't be suppressed unless they meet one of the criteria for speedy deletion. This means that there are many redirects in existence that are no different than this one (I create them regularly when renaming files), hence I see no reason to delete this one in particular. — Godsy ( TALK CONT) 06:31, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Retarget to William Henry Gates primarily for caps. NasssaNser ( talk/ edits) 04:05, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
- Delete, this kind of miscapitalization is handled better automatically. Siuenti ( 씨유엔티) 04:20, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
- Retarget per nom. Automatic adjustment of capitals only happens for some methods of searching/browsing Wikipedia, other methods will lead to search results, invitations to search or invitations to start a page, none of which are helpful in this case. {{
R from other capitalisation}} and {{
R from incorrect capitalisation}} are very, very widely used in preference to deletion for exactly this reason.

- In most cases where there are multiple capital letters in an article title the lowercase only title should redirect there, however there are enough exceptions (e.g. WP:DIFFCAPS) that a bot could introduce significant errors (see also the well-intentioned eubot). There are also many other cases where additional different capitalisations are also good (e.g. Amy MacDonald (singer) → Amy Macdonald (singer), ) Thryduulf ( talk) 10:15, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
