Incorrect redirect. No evidence at http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1F300.pdf for even a close resemblance. Vandalism?? The Banner talk 23:31, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Okay, okay. Redirects for the similar symbols to gay and lesbian are no problem I see? No close resemblance, lol. Maybe my mind is so screwed if I made these edits reading symbols' descriptions from your link?

Superman Unlseashed

This was an article with a misspelled name, which was turned into a redirect. the correct redirect is now in place. this old redirect to the correct redirect is for a completely unlikely search term. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 18:55, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CSD-R2. Listing here as I see it's been CSD-declined previously. TB (talk) 14:21, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

History of the Palestinian territories

Shouden't this be retargeted to Palestinian territories#History? History of Palestine has a far broader scope then the Palestinian territories Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 14:09, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Longest Wikipedia Article

R2 or A7, take your pick. Listing here rather than speedy deleting as it's been edit-protected TB (talk) 14:04, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep again. This is the location that the article existed at before the creation of the "Special" namespace. The redirect preempts link rot for anyone that still has links to that old historical location and helps editors who are researching through old pagehistories. The link does no harm and has some small benefit. It is not a candidate for regular deletion and most definitely does not qualify for any speedy-deletion criterion.

    • Eeep; I failed to find any previous AfD/RfD's for this one, or for that matter any history prior to July 2012. Can you link the relevant info here for posterity please and I'll copy the previous conclusions and close this dupe off. Cheers - TB (talk) 16:42, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • The old history is at Wikipedia:Longest Wikipedia article, it was moved without leaving a redirect (one should have been left though, hence Rossami's creation of this redirect in its place). Thryduulf (talk) 20:28, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • Ah, I see the history now - the page did indeed have content at the old address for a few months in 2005 before it was moved to the Wikipedia namespace . However, unless I'm mistaken (which is quite possible), nothing in the main namespace redirected to this until the one under discussion here was created in July 2012. I'm not sure that the two contributors to the article in the mainspace intended it to be encyclopedic content; the page move without redirect seems to have been intended. Has there been an XfD that applies that I've missed? - TB (talk) 21:12, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Rossami, this is a beneficial redirect for several reasons so deletion would be harmful for no gain. Regarding speedy deletion, redirects are not eligible for deletion under article criteria (those prefixed "A") because they are not articles (hence the existence of redirect ("R") criteria. Further, as noted several times in the page history, redirects to the Special: namespace are not eligible for speedy deletion under criterion R2 and the edit protection was explicitly to prevent a bot nominating it as such. Reading you the page history would have told you all this and saved everyone the bother of this discussion. Thryduulf (talk) 20:28, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment if this was "restored", where's the past history? -- 65.92.181.190 (talk) 07:36, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to Wikipedia space (add a WP: to it) -- 65.92.181.190 (talk) 07:36, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • For clarity; the original article was moved from the mainspace to WP: as you suggest in December 2005. What's under discussion here is a new redirect from the mainspace created this year. The original version that was moved to WP: has evolved and become obsolete, and is now a redirect to Special:, hence the new mainspaace redirect's target. - TB (talk)

Bugha al-Kabir al-Sharabi

Delete as the name mixes up two different people, Bugha al-Kabir and Bugha al-Sharabi Constantine ✍ 10:50, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New Norway, British Columbia

Delete redirect as a "New Norway" community/place within the Province of British Columbia does not exist according the Canadian Geographical Names Data Base or Statistics Canada. Therefore, a redirect to a community in the neighbouring Province of Alberta is unnecessary and inappropriate. Nothing links to the redirect either. This is akin to Los Angeles, Oregon redirecting to Los Angeles. Hwy43 (talk) 06:05, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
