June 3

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on June 3, 2015.

S.p.A.

• S.p.A. → S.A. (corporation)  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete per WP:RFD#D2 "may cause confusion", WP:RFD#D5 "makes no sense". The Italian formation of a limited company is not the same as the French one. Si Trew (talk) 15:47, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Harijs Poters

• Harijs Poters → Harry Potter  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete per WP:RFOREIGN. Harry Potter has no affinity with Latvian. Pickuptha'Musket (talk) 15:30, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Kieran Wallace

• Kieran Wallace → Denis O'Brien  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Kieran Wallace (footballer) is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC JMHamo (talk) 13:20, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

I beg to differ. I find it hard to see how a third division footballer could take precedent over a figure at the centre of a political scandal involving a billionaire businessman and his country's courts, banks, parliament and media. In any event (and in the spirit of WP:BOLD), I moved it to the common disambiguation 'footballer' thus preserving the page history. This seemed the simplest move yet the nominator instantly undid it, came here and then, to top it all off, had the cheek to accuse me on my talk page of a "cut-and-paste move" while attempting to discredit me with a notice telling me what I could and could not do when my account was more than four days old (which it certainly is). --Inother (talk) 15:48, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Memory space (computational resource)

• Memory space (computational resource) → Computational resource  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This redirect should be deleted per WP:RED. It's a notable concept that should have a dedicated article. Currently the computational resource article only provides an unreferenced half-sentence. Redirecting to it gives the readers a mostly useless articles, and decreases the chance that the article will be properly created. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:43, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

I made it a redirect because some links that were changed, which used to redirect to Computational resource via Memory space, now seemed to point into nowhere. It wasn't my intention to prevent the creation of an actual article, just to make sure visitors could find the original target information until that happens. My apologies if I interrupted a cleanup in process. --Ørjan (talk) 02:59, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

• Keep as a redirect. What, pray tell, is the difference between this and space complexity, and why should they be treated as if they are separate topics? And if you think it should be expanded, appropriate responses are to tag it with {{R with possibilities}} or, you know, actually expand it. But for now DSPACE might be a better redirect target than computational resource since it's actually about (a specific type of) space complexity. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:09, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

@David Eppstein: I don't understand. Nobody's disputing it should go somewhere, well OK User:Piotrus, the nom, is but leave that aside. Your argument is really, I think, as a retarget (I think that is what you mean by Keep as a redirect) but where? Are you going for DSPACE or space complexity? (Actually, most computer memory is limited by time not space: that's why people invented things like zero wait state memory). Si Trew (talk) 07:47, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

• Comment. At first glance, I would have gone delete, and certainly the DAB at Memory space encouraged me that way. (That is a WP:TWODABS, one for computing and one for the arty fartysocial sciences.) There is more to this than meets the eye: I presume that neither was considered primary so we made a WP:TWODABS, but I haven't checked the history of all those to untangle it. It could be {{R to section}} but there is no section about memory, and Resource (computing), a DAB, doesn't mention memory either. Perhaps it's so cheap these days that we forget it is a resource! 15:14, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
