There isn't a gallery on this article, so the redirect isn't correct or needed. Tavix |  Talk  22:46, 6 December 2009 (UTC) reply

Lake of Venezuela

The result of the discussion was Retarget to List of lakes#Venezuela ~ Amory ( utc) 13:22, 13 December 2009 (UTC) reply

It is not the official "Lake of Venezuela" or the only lake so this redirect is incorrect. Maracaibo is not known as the Lake of Venezuela Tavix |  Talk  22:42, 6 December 2009 (UTC) reply

List of things described as headless

The result of the discussion was Delete ~ Amory ( utc) 13:26, 13 December 2009 (UTC) reply

This page should be deleted because it suggests that the disambiguation page to which it redirects is an indiscriminate list to which partial title matches may be added. Neelix ( talk) 16:55, 6 December 2009 (UTC) reply

  • Delete; unlikely title, and no mainspace incoming links. -- JHunterJ ( talk) 18:05, 6 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Delete; presumably an article in the past, has solid view history; no edit history now. I can't think of anywhere to send the external visitors Josh Parris 04:24, 7 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Keep from the target's history "12:17, 27 November 2009 JHunterJ (talk | contribs) m (2,503 bytes) (moved List of things described as headless to Headless (disambiguation): return to dab, clean up) (undo)". Two weeks after a page move is far too soon to get rid of the redirect without a really good reason. Keep it for now, reassess in a couple months.

    When I wrote that edit summary, I believe there were still incoming mainspace links to it. It was a dab page posing as a list, now it's a dab page and the links have been fixed. -- JHunterJ ( talk) 12:46, 7 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Delete as nominator I don't see what good it would do to put off the deletion for a couple months. It seems to me that really good reasons have already been provided for why the redirect should be deleted. Neelix ( talk) 16:53, 7 December 2009 (UTC) reply

No, Luke, I am your father

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.
The result of the discussion was Keep Luke's father, Retarget others to Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Non-admin closure. — The Man in Question (in question) 05:22, 11 December 2009 (UTC) reply

This should be deleted, along with Luke's father, Luke I am your father, and Luke, I am your father. Implausible, can't see why anyone would expect these string of words to have articles. Fail to see why a line of dialogue should redirect to a character. Declan Clam ( talk) 01:40, 6 December 2009 (UTC) reply

Rh blood group system

The result of the discussion was Keep Josh Parris 10:48, 8 December 2009 (UTC) reply

Deletion; I moved the article Rhesus blood group system to Rh blood group system since the latter is the correct name and the former is a misnomer. All steps are clearly explained in the talk page of the article. I did not realize that there was already a redirect from Rh blood group system to Rhesus blood group system, which created a cycling dual-redirect. I temporarily renamed the target of the Rh blood group system redirect to itself which would work as a work-around; however, I undid this myself to allow you the proper solution. Please delete the Rh blood group system redirect to Rhesus blood group system without deleting the original article page with the content. Thank you.

Additional note: In contrast to many people's believe, Rh is not an abbreviation of Rhesus. It is the real name of the blood group system. Therefore, it makes sense to keep this name as the name of the article and keep Rhesus blood group system just as a redirect as currently implemented. -- Firefly's luciferase ( talk) 07:19, 6 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Tag it with {{ db-self}} and it will all go away. Josh Parris 04:24, 7 December 2009 (UTC) reply
  • This is exactly what happened. I would have asked an admin first to delete the redirect and then move the page (move request) if I had realized that there was already a redirect from the new name to the old name. I learned something: check first. So, if you have already seen a bot running around, then it hopefully will be at this no longer used redirect soon. :-) Otherwise I am glad if an admin can solve the problem manually. Thanks. -- Firefly's luciferase ( talk) 07:33, 7 December 2009 (UTC) reply
