Just a note that I have boldly reverted to the previous target. Per other discussions on this log page, I have restored sections that Superdadsuper deleted without discussion.

  • Delete no content from the former stub exists in the article, and this specific Wiki is not notable. There isn't a list of Wikia wikis to target it to, and nowhere else we have coverage either. Thryduulf (talk) 13:16, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. This person was apparently an employee in the "Community Team" at Wikia, but they weren't even mentioned in the article when the redirect was created. As CatherineMunro they were also admin here, but haven't edited since 2015. IMDB knows of two different actresses with this name, neither at first glance notable enough for an article, and multiple wives of various minor Scottish nobles.

  • Delete this is a very common phrase used in many different unrelated contexts related to various studies of and theories about "peace" in at least two different senses.

The result of the discussion was Procedural close. This is not a redirect, and one cannot be created at this title, so there is nothing we can do here. If you want that to change you will need to make a request at phabricator. Thryduulf (talk) 18:40, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. The discussion has shown that these two team names don't refer to the same franchise. None of the suggested solutions involve keeping the redirect as it is, so I'm deleting it. Editors can write a new article or add information to a related page. Deryck C. 10:57, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not the same minor league franchise. Two teams 30 years apart. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 02:41, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Same town, and 30 years is a long time, but minor league teams change names and affiliation all the time. Including both under the town with the redirect seems reasonable, especially if there isn't a Highlanders page now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skilgis1900 (talk • contribs) 21:52, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
They aren't the same franchise. A problem this editor has shown on at least one other occasion here[2] where he put a totally different team's players on a page....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 02:28, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsensical redirect. 8T = album? 8-track? 80? Those can't be it. Nothing in 8T would suggest this to have anything to do with albums. Why use something nonsensical when {{album}} exists as an option? StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 02:06, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  1. "Unless a WikiProject [or anyone else, for that matter] has actually expressed interest in usurping [this redirect], I don't see [it] doing any harm." To date, no other use for {{WP8T}} has been suggested at all. Per WP:R#KEEP, "If someone says they find a redirect useful, they probably do".
  2. Alleged confusion is not very plausible at all. So absent evidence of any harm there is no reason to delete.
  3. "There seems to be no evidence of confusion, just conjecture on the part of nominator, and no argument grounded in WP:R. Laziness is the exact purpose of redirects, to be perfectly honest, and the creator of a useful redirect that saves one or two characters should be commended. We don't delete redirects based merely on conjecture. Someone obviously found these useful given they were created."
  4. "One of the lowest things one can do is steal another mans tools. So you have no use for it. That it's being used on [talk pages] is good enough, and there is zero reason to take away something that has no higher use. Such Nominators should be required to be the one to hand edit and remove any deleted tags."
  5. "Redirects are not only cheap but this is a redirect from and to template namespace. That would tend to indicate to me that anyone using it is an editor rather than a general reader and they are hardly likely to get it [confused]. There are lots of little abbreviated things pulled up over the years such as {{tlc}} or {{tlx}} or whatever as useful shorthand for editors."

Typical copy/paste argument from Jax, who has done this countless times and doesn't address the concerns of the nomination. It's not about confusion but about not making any sense at all. There haven't been 8-tracks for this use in over 30 years and were only popular for a short time and no one has ever called an 8-track "8T". This implies Template:WPCD would be just as obvious a choice (it's not). This one makes less sense than all the others that you created this year which have been deleted. Maybe I should create Template:WPSTAN as a redirect to {{WikiProject Comics}} or Template:WPMM to {{WikiProject Disney}}. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 16:21, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
