July 4

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on July 4, 2013

Flushing-Main Street (New York Subway)

• Flushing-Main Street (New York Subway) → Flushing – Main Street (IRT Flushing Line) (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Implausible redirect. New York City Subway station articles are supposed to go by line name, not by system name (which is not even correct) per convention. Epicgenius^{(talk to me • see my contributions)} 16:18, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

• Keep for the same reasons mentioned in the two similar RFD's which so for have had no one support this position.--70.49.82.84 (talk) 16:23, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Richard Cooper (academic)

• Wikipedia:Richard Cooper (academic) → Richard Cooper (academic) (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Request deletion of this cross namespace redirect which I accidentally created in a botched (and now otherwise fully fixed) move from user space to main space - sorry! Jonathan A Jones (talk) 15:42, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Trigger tha Gambler

• Trigger Tha Gambler → Smoothe da Hustler (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ]
• Trigger tha Gambler → Smoothe da Hustler (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Misleading redirects. Trigger tha Gambler is the brother of Smoothe da Hustler, but a redirect somewhat suggests that they are the same person (until you read the later paragraph). He probably doesn't meet the notability requirement for an own article, so the redirects should just go. Don Cuan (talk) 10:22, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

• Keep. It's common practice to redirect nonnotable people to their notable relatives. Nyttend (talk) 14:33, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
  • Comment. It is common practice where it makes sense. Usually the target article would have a Personal Life section that the redirect points to. In this case, the brother is only mentioned passingly. The redirect is also confusing because it looks like "Trigger tha Gambler" would be an older performance name of "Smoothe da Hustler", until that passing mention. The redirect does more harm than good. Don Cuan (talk) 20:58, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

1st IIFA Awards

• 1st IIFA Awards → International Indian Film Academy Awards (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Why will we need this redirect? Should we create one for 2nd, 3rd etc.? Anshuk (talk) 17:22, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:REDLINK. --BDD (talk) 21:45, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
• Can probably be speedily deleted as {{db-g5}} as it's almost certainly the work of a prolific sockpuppeter who has been creating scores (hundreds?) of inappropriate articles and redirects over the past two years. —Psychonaut (talk) 07:39, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
• Keep and note as {{Redirect with possibilities}}. Having an article for each year makes sense, but for now, the redirect makes sense. Ego White Tray (talk) 12:37, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
