December 27

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on December 27, 2012

Australian head of state

Nominated the redirect for deletion, because it's being used to promote the target article. Also, there's no Canadian head of state, British head of state, New Zealand head of state etc etc. GoodDay (talk) 19:53, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep A useful and practical redirect. This was the old title of the target article. There is a dispute over the identity of the Australian head of state, and the target article provides the various views and arguments without promoting either Queen or Governor-General. Perhaps there should be similar articles (and redirects) describing the similar moves away from monarchy in Canada, New Zealand and so on. But that's a matter for monarchists and Canadians such as GoodDay, I guess. As an Australian, I'll stick to what I know. --Pete (talk) 21:32, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I'm not sure I fully understand the nominator's objection, but as far as I can see, redirects are cheap and this seems like a reasonable search term that would be useful as long as the target article exists, especially since it was the prior title of the article. --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:53, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Skyring has been promoting the 'dispute' throughout Wikipedia (example:Head of state) for years & so this redirect is just apart of that agenda. Redirects shouldn't be used for PoV pushing. GoodDay (talk) 22:01, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The redirect is clearly a useful search term, and is pointing at the article that describes the contemporary situation where there is no agreement about who holds the position, and I would support articles/redirects for the other terms listed. If you believe that another editor has been engaging in inappropriate behaviour then you should discuss it with them and get other opinions as part of the dispute resolution process. RfD is not part of that process, and whether the redirect is being used inappropriately is irrelevant to it's usefulness as any page can be misused.

14. amendment

There is no article named 1. amendment, 2. amendment, 3. amendment, 4. amendment, 5. amendment, 6. amendment, 7. amendment, 8. amendment, 9. amendment, 10. amendment, 11. amendment, 12. amendment, 13. amendment, or 15. amendment, so suffice it to say 14. amendment is a typo and only has traffic from the search box suggest result when the user types "14 amendment" the suggest list result generates misleading traffic where this redirect should not exist due to implausible typo, which can be easily determined with logicall analysis. Second nomination. JBrown23 (talk) 18:32, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Erick (TX)

Erick, Oklahoma is not in Texas. This was created to turn an erroneous link in Interstate 40 in Texas blue, but is nonsense. Erick is the second town (the first is Texola, pop 36) after leaving the lone star state. K7L (talk) 15:53, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Eliza Allen Houston"

Unlikely search term, because it would require the user to actually double type the quotation marks, as in ""Eliza Allen Houston"" in order to search for the exact phrase. Additionally, the proper search term already exists: see Eliza Allen Houston. Senator2029 “let's talk” 10:52, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was wrong venue - see Wikipedia:Requested moves. Thryduulf (talk) 14:46, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Ministry of Finance and Economic Development (Mauritius), to move the page Minister of Finance of Mauritius to Ministry of Finance and Economic Development (Mauritius), to comply with the original name of the Ministry Kingroyos (talk) 08:51, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page.

Template:Other people1

Unused redirect. A TfD some time ago was between delete or redirect due to some transclusions. I suggest that we delete it now (or redirect it to {{Other people}}). Magioladitis (talk) 07:36, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Man with the Bag (Song)

Delete the article "The Man with the bag (Song). I created this on 27 Dec 12, but it's unnecessary given that a page titled "The Man with the Bag (Christmas Song)" also exists. We don't need both. EdJF (talk) 15:01, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
