This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion on February 22, 2008
Kowari (software) → Mulgara
Hard to see what one has to do with the other. Was blanked by another editor, bringing it here. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 22:37, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- Delete It seems Kowari software has forked with a new name of Mulgara [1]. But this isn't an appropriate redirect.-- Crossmr ( talk) 02:55, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Re-target to Mulgara (software). -- JLaTondre ( talk) 12:15, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Retarget per JLaTondre. The Mulgara (software) page could probably use a mention of the forking, but that's not an issue for RfD. Alternately, if someone is willing, it could be fleshed out into an article. — Gavia immer ( talk) 14:20, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Tower defense → Desktop Tower Defense
Several editors have expressed concern that they don't feel that the name of a genre should be redirected to a specific game in the genre. The genre article was previously deleted because no reliable sources could be found for the genre itself. When it was recreated (which it often is) it was redirected to try and curb the WP:OR creation. Deleting the redirect would curb the fears, but I think its going to only end up being redirected again as another new user attempts to create an unsourced article in its place. It might be worth salting the earth with a note pointing people to Deletion review. Crossmr ( talk) 16:49, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- Salting? Better to just add some sources and clean up the article. So I did. That's a Keep. Colonel Warden ( talk) 03:07, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
The Talking Asshole → Naked Lunch
Pointless and unused 80.5.156.202 ( talk) 12:03, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. There's a whole paragraph on this topic at the target page. It's a good redirect. — Gavia immer ( talk) 14:32, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Timmy's World At Night → The Pebble and the Penguin
This has nothing whatsoever to do with the film it redirects to. Besides, it's not even heard in the film itself! Slgrandson ( How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 05:05, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy delete as G3 (pure vandalism). This is a leftover of a spurious page move, nothing more. I have tagged it. — Gavia immer ( talk) 14:30, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- Delete Very obvious that this has nothing to do with the film.-- Crossmr ( talk) 02:53, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Ween (slang) → Penis
It has nothing to do with the target page. David Pro ( talk) 18:11, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- Delete improbable search term. Adding parenthetical comments usually serves the purpose of disambiguation, so it seems unlike to me that someone would type that in the search box. Perhaps it is a regional variant, but I am not familiar with the term. The entry on Ween (disambiguation) should be removed or at the very least (of this gets deleted) not hyperlinked.- Andrew c [talk] 02:05, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Delete Unless there was ever an article there, there is no reason for this redirect. I can't imagine anyone ever searching for the term like this.-- Crossmr ( talk) 02:57, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Comment. I think that terms like this are unlikely and confusing. David Pro ( talk) 15:20, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Delete Enigma msg! 03:20, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
