Template:Talkheader2

The result of the discussion was delete. Jafeluv ( talk) 07:51, 6 October 2009 (UTC) reply

Like Talkheader3. No reason to keep a redirect like that. The non-trivial history consists of tests that should be in a sandbox. Created by the same editor and shortly became a redirect. Magioladitis ( talk) 23:17, 23 September 2009 (UTC) reply

We can just subst the template in the archive or replace it with talkheader. No big deal. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 21:40, 30 September 2009 (UTC) reply
I just noticed. It's not even transcluded in archives. It's just linked. Useless. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 21:41, 30 September 2009 (UTC) reply

Terri Smith

The result of the discussion was delete. Magioladitis ( talk) 11:10, 3 October 2009 (UTC) reply

Subject's name is nowhere to be found in the target. Most of the time this has been a redirect, but early in its history it was a one-line "article" about a Weather Channel meteorologist; the "article" was quickly merged into The Weather Channel, but nobody bothered to give the new redirect any context. 147.70.242.54 ( talk) 19:39, 23 September 2009 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - although Terri Smith worked at the Weather Channel (see here), she left them in 1995 to work at other stations (including WALB & WXIA) and currently works at KXNT. It would be far better for her name to appear as a redlink/search page to encourage creation of an article. Besides, a search page will yield more information on her than if she were to be retargeted to any of the sites I've linked. — Zach425  talk/ contribs 04:11, 26 September 2009 (UTC) reply

Delete - No talk about "Six Sigma Pricing" in Six Sigma. And that's a non-notable term made up by a self-promoting author. Damiens.rf 14:25, 23 September 2009 (UTC) reply

  • Huh? (as creator of said redirect) I was under the impression redirects were cheap, and redirecting a "non-notable" neologism to its parent concept was a perfectly valid thing to do. Nifboy ( talk) 16:22, 23 September 2009 (UTC) reply
The redirect needs to have something to give it context... and there's none here. If there were a mention of "Six Sigma Pricing" in the target article, then the redirect would be closer to valid (if not already there). The words "price" and "pricing" are absent from the Six Sigma article. 147.70.242.54 ( talk) 16:32, 23 September 2009 (UTC) reply
I never heard of a "valid" redirect, only invalid ones. Hence "redirects are cheap." Nifboy ( talk) 17:13, 23 September 2009 (UTC) reply
Well, if they're not invalid... 147.70.242.54 ( talk) 19:00, 23 September 2009 (UTC) reply
And I'm not under the impression this redirect is invalid by those criteria. Nifboy ( talk) 23:11, 23 September 2009 (UTC) reply
I'm still not convinced one way or another. If there is some context in the target article I'd be wholly in agreement with your point. 147.70.242.54 ( talk) 01:32, 24 September 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - this appears to be an appropriate redirect: it seems to give partial information on the term (i.e., the methodology behind it), and there's the possibility that an article on the topic will meet notability criteria in the future. Of course, as IP mentioned, the keep would be much stronger if "Six Sigma Pricing" were mentioned in the article. — Zach425  talk/ contribs 17:12, 23 September 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - If you do a Google search, Six Sigma pricing is a real concept. It's based off the Six Sigma approach to system and process control. It would be helpful if the article noted this, but it's not a reason to delete the redirect. I also wish to know what proof Damiens.rf has that the creator of the redirect is engaged in self-promotion. Nothing in his edit history suggests a vested interest regarding Six Sigma. Such groundless accusations add nothing to the Wiki and I have duly noted this on his talk page. 141.214.37.134 ( talk) 19:57, 23 September 2009 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. A valid redirect, unless it falls under criterion "If the redirect could plausibly be expanded into an article, and the target article contains little information on the subject.", in which case an article should be substituted for the redirect rather than deleting the redirect. - R. S. Shaw ( talk) 07:12, 24 September 2009 (UTC) reply

This is not a standard article title. We're redirected to an example of the villanelle. It's pretty useless. JIMp  talk· cont 14:28, 23 September 2009 (UTC) reply

Wtc

The result of the discussion was Retarget to WTC. Magioladitis ( talk) 09:50, 25 September 2009 (UTC) reply

Delete. Creates confusion with disambiguation page WTC and is not a common abbreviation.    Cs32en  04:23, 23 September 2009 (UTC) reply

Unnecessary redirect; not a common misspelling, and the project should not be taking positions on subjects via use of judgmental pagenames. Nathan T 02:22, 23 September 2009 (UTC) Nathan T 02:22, 23 September 2009 (UTC) reply
