This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on December 28, 2011

Wikipedia:CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

• Wikipedia:CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC → Wikipedia:Confirmation bias bias confirmed (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Highly implausible CTJF83 22:27, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

• Ceep (do you see what I did there?) It is a humorous redirect to a humorous page, the number of "C" 's (30... I had to borrow an Arb to finalise the count. ps. this is a lie) in the redirect being the number of words starting with C in the essay - it is not intended to be found in the normal manner in which redirects are used, just a little joke for anyone who digs a little into the page, and is obviously a delete under strict interpretation of the rules... but that was never the intent. I should also note that the other page redirect WP:CXXX serves the same point, and likely fails the policy page and may usefully be included in the discussion. However, I claim WP:IAR is the policy that should be the one governing in this matter. LessHeard vanU (talk) 23:37, 28 December 2011 (UTC) ps. I would like to thank all here for following the link(s), and indeed the nomination - it is possible that my silly little page will double its readership.
• Keep Harmless jokes are useful for the community, and this is a lot more worthy than many other sillinesses. Johnuniq (talk) 00:36, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
• Keep but move to Wikipedia:CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC. This removes two C's from the name, which reduces the load on the servers. Herostratus (talk) 04:55, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Achilles (1903 Automobile)

• Achilles (1903 Automobile) → Achilles (automobile) (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

• Delete. Redirect is an unnecessary as the main article is reasonably titled and easily found via search or disambiguation. Warren (talk) 22:14, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
• Keep: relatively high hit count suggest that this harmless redirect is used by some external resource. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 09:22, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

User:EShakti

• User:EShakti → EShakti (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

• Delete. Redirect from user space to article space may be confusing. User account "EShakti" is not registered. – Wdchk (talk) 19:16, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as U2. Non-existent user. Looks like it was added by an inexperienced user.    Thorncrag  19:38, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
• Speedy delete: common use case of WP:SPEEDY. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 20:29, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Perferred sex

• Perferred sex → Love-shyness (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

'Speedy deletion criterion G1'.

This does not appear to be jargon or a misspelling of something that could make sense. Qwerty (talk) 06:06, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

I think R3 is the better choice.--70.24.207.225 (talk) 20:17, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

• Delete: This doesn't qualify for speedy deletion as it has more then 5 years. Still the wording doesn't make sense and the hit count is lower then one would generally expect from a long-living redirect. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 09:17, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Keep but redirect to Preferred sex. Nonsense as implemented, this does make sense as a typographical redirect, i.e., Perferred sex->Preferred sex->Sexual preference->Sexual orientation. byronshock (talk) 12:44, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

• Retarget per Byronshock above. Robofish (talk) 13:49, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

It would actually make more sense to redirect to Sexual orientation since the new proposed redirects already redirects there.--70.24.207.225 (talk) 19:19, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
