April 16

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on April 16, 2012

Talk:SimCity (2013 video game)

Associated talk page, please see discussion that is pursuant below. JamaUtil (talk) 05:06, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SimCity (2013 video game)

Redirect is misleading, since game will only be on computer. Not even sure what "video" means in this instance. Did user perhaps mean console/phone/tablet? Also no relevant edit history on history page. JamaUtil (talk) 05:04, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Marquis Lí of Jin

The title is based on a misreading of the obscure Chinese character (釐). I've moved the article to the correct name, but the redirect remains and may cause confusion with Marquis Li of Jin, a different person. It should be deleted to prevent confusion. --Zanhe (talk) 04:38, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

JIMBO WALES

Not a plausible typo. There is no reason which I can see to keep this page. If anything, it should be deleted and create-protected ("salted") to prevent usage by vandals. I am also proposing that any similar redirects also be deleted. 99.70.103.243 (talk) 02:29, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Page protection and especially preemptive protection (salting) is inherently hostile and anti-wiki. We do it when we must but our Protection Policy directs us to keep it to the minimum extent and duration necessary to protect the project. If a redirect can successfully preempt vandalism (and this one evidently has), that's a better answer. As to this one, "Jimbo" is the subject's commonly used name and redirects for capitalization variants are routine. Rossami (talk) 03:54, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
