Concarril → (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

The result of the discussion was speedy delete approved and performed by RHaworth for criterion R2. Cross-namespace redirects fall under this criteron. Steel1943 (talk) 20:15, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects to foreign language wikis are generally not useful to readers of the English Wikipedia. TexasAndroid (talk) 18:33, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I just posted a message about this redirect on its creator's talk page, when I saw this "redirects for discussion" notice there (it was not yet there when I started writing my message to him). There is no article about Concarril on English Wikipedia, but "Concarril" exists as a redirect on Spanish Wikipedia – to the same article that this redirect points to – and therefore, using Template:Ill can accomplish the exact same thing in this instance, once this English-WP redirect has been deleted (it won't work as long as this redirect exists). An editor need only replace "Concarril" within the relevant English WP articles with {{Ill|es|Concarril}}, after (or if) this redirect is deleted. Then, "Concarril" would revert to being a redlink, which is preferable in cases like this, while retaining a link to the Spanish article (in parentheses).

Speedy Delete. From what I'm seeing about this redirect, it might actually qualifiy for speedy deletion due to criteria {{db-r2}}. In fact, I'm going to go ahead and place that tag on the article to see if that is the case. Steel1943 (talk) 19:34, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

George ladas → George Ladas (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ] Tentinator (talk) 17:45, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep no reason has been offered for deletion and these types of redirects ( first letter in the second word lowercase instead of uppercase) are usually if not always kept when they are at RFD. I see no reason foe this to be any different.~~----

Needlewoman (disambiguation)

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Needlewoman (disambiguation) → The Needlewoman (painting) (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

The result of the discussion was Retarget to Needleman (disambiguation). Steel1943 (talk) 20:10, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This redirects to an article that is not a disambiguation page, and there are not enough articles on Wikipedia to turn Needlewoman (disambiguation) into a disambiguation page. Steel1943 (talk) 09:24, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Needleman (disambiguation) and add the painting to that page. Thryduulf (talk) 11:39, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I've now added it and also the other entry from The Needlewoman. Thryduulf (talk) 11:43, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Retarget. Thryduulf, I'm not sure why I did not think about that in the first place. I support the retarget. Steel1943 (talk) 19:29, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
