P Doradus
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.
Implausible typo; the letters "P" and "R" are not near each other on a standard keyboard, and there is no reason that somebody would get the two letters confused.

Strong keep "P Doradus" is not a typo. It is the
Bayer designation for this star. It is also the name that SIMBAD uses for this star
[1]. "R Doradus" is the
Variable star designation for this star (indeed, "R Dor" is equivalent to "V1 Doradus" if you were to number all variable under variable star designation, as the very first star in Doradus designated with that scheme). --

Designation does not exist, and is not a plausible typo. "G Canis Majoris" is a latin letter Bayer designation, which Canis Minor lacks, and there is no way somebody would forget the "50" before the G. In addition, even if that were not the case, G Canis Minoris could refer to any number of the over 50 stars designation in Gould's catalogue.

This page should be deleted - for the same reason that
like this one doesn't exist, this one shouldn't exist either. Most links are example text, and I recently found a malformed redirect pointing here, which would be detected much quicker if such a redirect were red linked. Not tagged as page is fully protected.

Delete and Salt I think some of the article wizards use this as a sample name, so can result in creation of articles at the wrong location. In any case, articles exist outside of Wikipedia, and "article" can mean parts of laws, which can be related to naming. --

Query. If the wizard tries to create a salted page, does it fail gracefully? I don't know how to see if a redlink is salted, to try to do it myself as an experiment. Presumably the wizard runs under the privileges of the editor, so the creation would generally fail; but would it
fail gracefully?

This doesn't matter anyway. The wizard creates a redirect to a salted page, not creating a page at this title. Creating a redirect to a salted page is not a problem. I feel this title should be salted though to stop creators accidentally creating articles (for example
here and
here), in the same way as
Article name was salted.

You've lost me. I accidentally listed an article at AfD with Twinkle that I meant to list an R to it here. (That's fixed.) Which tool or wizard are you talking about?

The result of the discussion was delete. For future reference,
Koavf, deletion for category redirects should take place at CfD. If it helps you remember, category redirects aren't true redirects (and are, technically, categories). I'm comfortable deleting this one, however. --

There is no mention of Howard Dill on Atlantic Giant. However, the redirect includes an external link to the man's obituary. (Of course, no one will find this unless they specifically look at the redirect page.) According to the obit, Dill grew prize-winning pumpkins. If that makes him noteworthy, the information might be added to Atlantic Giant, but if he doesn't satisfy BIO perhaps the redirect should be deleted.

Delete to encourage article creation. According to my cursory search, it seems that Dill is notable although we someone more familiar with pumpkin raising could draft an article for him.--

Comment. My hackles are raised when my search results for "howard dill pumpkin" return for the first six, www.howarddill.com.
