This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on January 11, 2010

Bob dole memorial ocean

Bob dole memorial ocean → Pacific Ocean (links to redirect • history • stats)

Nominating "Bob dole memorial ocean" for deletion, this makes no sense whatsoever and the only google hit I get for the literal string is a comment on the wiki redirect [[::User:Usrnme h8er|Usrnme h8er]] ([[::User talk:Usrnme h8er|talk]] · [[::Special:Contributions/Usrnme h8er|contribs]]) 13:19, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Fake or real

Fake or real → Moon landing conspiracy theories (links to redirect • history • stats)

Completely implausible redirect, could go to any number of things. ╟─Treasury Tag►Speaker─╢ 08:51, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Foxit_PDF_Editor

Foxit_PDF_Editor → Foxit_Reader (links to redirect • history • stats)

Suggest deletion. The redirect makes no sense. Foxit Reader and Foxit PDF Editor are distinctly different products. Affinemesh94464 (talk) 07:33, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As noted at Foxit_Reader#Foxit_PDF_Editor, they seem to be packaged together. However, I would also support deletion as Category:PDF readers is distinct from the editing software. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:26, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"’Til Death Do Us Part"

Films and television series surrounded by quotes. Confer WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2009 December 28#"it's a small world" and WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2009 December 28#"almanac of british politics". As with WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2009 December 29#"Alexander R. Bolling", quotation marks have no place around a name (or around almost any article title, for that matter). Illy conceived and in danger of setting precedent. A violation of Wikipedia:TITLE#Article title format. Most if not all are artefacts of pagemoves. Searching for something in quotation marks will turn up the same result anyhow (for example, searching for "United States" will take you straight to United States). (No works which actually use quotation marks in their names have been listed here.) — the Man in Question (in question) 04:50, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete having checked all the episodic redirects, there are better redirects in place/more likely search hits for all. Violate "Article title format". Josh Parris 05:21, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't recall why I would've created a redirect for Til Death Do Us Par with quotes, but I agree there's no reason for it. Nightscream (talk) 08:27, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yogesh Atal, Sociologist

Yogesh Atal, Sociologist → Yogesh Atal (links to redirect • history • stats)

Redirect left over from a page move. The article doesn't need a "(sociologist)" disambiguation, which makes this a relatively unlikely search term. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 04:44, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Implausible. — the Man in Question (in question) 04:56, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, I've bypassed the only use in mainspace. There are quite a few hits per day going through it, let's see what removing that mainspace link to it does to the traffic. Josh Parris 05:00, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Unlikely. Timotheus Canens (talk) 05:04, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"A World Away, the Quest of Dan Clay"

Written works surrounded by quotes. Confer WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2009 December 28#"it's a small world" and WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2009 December 28#"almanac of british politics". As with WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2009 December 29#"Alexander R. Bolling", quotation marks have no place around a name (or around almost any article title, for that matter). Illy conceived and in danger of setting precedent. Most if not all are artefacts of pagemoves.

(No works which actually use quotation marks in their names have been listed here.) — the Man in Question (in question) 03:45, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as violations of Wikipedia:TITLE#Article title format; I was concerned about entries that appeared to be parts of series (specifically "Tests and Jests" - Jane and the Dragon - for which there is a correctly formatted redirect) but investigation reveals that my fears were unfounded. Josh Parris 04:41, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, that's not a written work. Oh well. Still fits the rest. — the Man in Question (in question) 04:49, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BATTLES Prophet Muhammad Fought

BATTLES Prophet Muhammad Fought → Template:Campaignbox Campaigns of Muhammad (links to redirect • history • stats)

Improper cross namespace redirect. MBisanz ^talk 03:14, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and the fact that the caps and lack of a definite article are implausible. — the Man in Question (in question) 03:22, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
