I don't really see a need for such a redirect - and I'm sure there are many who would find it offensive (And, as the original pagemover pointed out, not NPOV.) We don't have
Wife beating in Christianity or any other religion - in fact, we don't have any other pages/redirects that begin with "Wife beating in". The topic is also not covered in any great detail in the article this redirects to.

Retarget to
Deletion. Hmm; I really, really, don't like redirects from article space to project space because it can allow inexperienced users to get lost in the pipework. So, what's to be done? We could just delete it but it won't be long before someone comes along and recreates it. The best of some poor options is the retarget; it will inhibit recreation, it might be marginally useful and if someone wants the Wikipedia policy then that can be reached through the hatnote.

Keep -
Cross-namespace redirects are discouraged by not categorically disallowed. Indeed, there are
many many exceptions. These kind of CNRs are generally allowed when the phrase in question is common search term, is unlikely to be confused for an article in the encylopedia, or if the redirect have been around for a long time. The stats shows show consistent daily usage of this redirect. My guess is that almost all of these people searching for "speedy deletion" would be annoyed if they were redirected to the article on
Deletion instead of
WP:CSD. Let's not let uncritical adherence to a normally very sensible policy of avoiding CNRs lead us to doing things which are bad for the encyclopedia. —mako๛04:28, 14 September 2011 (UTC)reply
Keep I use this regularly when I don't have the direct page in my memory. I tried to use it now - and ended up here. Please restore it!!! 13:23, 16 September 2011 (UTC) Delete I could have typed "Wikipedia:Speedy delete"Secondarywaltz (

Keep per
WP:IAR if nothing else. How many people type "Speedy Delete" and want the information included on the "Deletion" page? I don't remember seeing this term commonly used outside Wikipedia, so it's reasonable to assume that the majority of those who use this title want information on Wikipedia's speedy deletion process.

I do not believe it is a necessary redirect. I would expect people just to search Speak Up if they wanted to read the article on it.

Keep - Hard to tell because it's new and linked if it's really so useless and it seems that people really do refer to the organization based on its phone number which is, after all, very central to its activities and its public presence. The fact it might not be the most common way to search for
SPEAK UP doesn't mean we should do delete it. Redirects are
WP:CHEAP after all and I really don't see the harm in leaving this one around. —mako๛01:08, 14 September 2011 (UTC)reply

The result of the discussion was Speedy delete. The redirect was tagged for CSD R3, and though the tag had been removed (without explanation) it was perfectly valid.

Should be deleted: quite simply, the redirect's name is not a good description of the article linked to, at all, due to a major change of focus early in the article's life, followed by a page move. The redirect goes from an extremely general topic name to an extremely specific article on a single organisation, and, as such, doesn't direct the user to useful content.
