Delete – Redirect created by a move that was quickly reverted. It is an implausible search term. McLerristarr | Mclay1 16:25, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep all. — ξxplicit 00:38, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete. These redirects were created by a now banned user to link to sections of the main page. There are no incoming links. I fail to see how they would ever be useful. And the whole "MP:" pseudo-namespace (see here) just seems completely unnecessary and over complicates things. Mhiji (talk) 08:44, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Delete.  (per œ™) I wouldn't be surprised if the first time these were added to the Main page as a {{shortcut}} (if ever), they were immediately rm'd because they would look a bit tacky. Toss 'em.

PS. Pulled "delete" because some editors find these useful; however, I wouldn't want them cluttering up the Main page.
 —  Paine Ellsworth ( CLIMAX )  14:31, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Then I am inclined to pull my Delete per here, reason #2, and here. Since as I noted above, they would probably look a bit tacky on the Mainpage, and since others cannot see any useful purpose, could you say a little more about how you use them?
 —  Paine Ellsworth ( CLIMAX )  17:59, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, they have their uses in certain helpdesk situations. I've used MP:OTD before to point users to that specific section on the main page, and to quickly link to it. I can't say I've used the others though. That's not to say a situation won't arise where I might want to point a user to another specific section on the mainpage, like Today's featured picture (MP:TFP) -- Ϫ 16:11, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Underneath the Stars

The result of the discussion was replaced with disambiguation page. Non-admin closure. Erpert (let's talk about it) 18:17, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article was most recently listed at AfD last month. I was neutral on the discussion, but it resulted in a redirect to Underneath the Stars (album). The problem with that is that that article is about an album by Kate Rusby, and the original article was about a song by Mariah Carey (I would include a diff but for some reason it isn't publicly viewable anymore; was it deleted and then recreated?). If anything, the redirect should be retargeted to Daydream (Mariah Carey album). Erpert (let's talk about it) 08:18, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Boldly replaced with a disambiguation. Feel free to revert if you aren't happy with my solution. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 08:38, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cross-namespace redirects. "H:" shortcuts which links to the "Wikipedia" namespace rather than "Help:". Though little used "H:" redirects are normally to the "Help:" namespace. I'm proposing delete. Mhiji (talk) 07:56, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unused, unnecessary cross-namespace redirect. Also per the outcome of this discussion, Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2010_December_6#T:, and the comments there. Mhiji (talk) 07:45, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Meh. -- œ™ 10:52, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Really unnecessary redirect. If anyone wants to use Template:Ear, they can just put {{ear}} on the page, they don't have to put {{[[Template::T:Ear|:T:Ear]]}}. And if anyone wants to link to the template, it's easier to just to {{tl|ear}}

The result of the discussion was Speedy delete per R3. Mhiji (talk) 17:18, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Created at the same time as Transport in Round Maple which was deleted as a result of WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2010 December 9#Transport in Round Maple. Round Maple is a barely notable collection of houses (pop 20) on a country lane. It has no public transport. Redirects may be cheap but if we create a "Transport for ......." redirect for every group of dwellings in England (let alone the rest of the UK or world) it would rapidly become unmanageable.

Recently created as an article, but redirected to projectspace to get rid of it. Unnecessary cross-namespace redirect. Edited to add: And at another user's suggestion, I've added Wiki-Hopping (which was also redirected to eliminate an unnecessary article) and Wikiracing.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 02:45, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
