Harry Potter : movies

The result of the discussion was Retarget to Harry Potter (film series)~ Amory (utc) 04:29, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget this one to Harry Potter (film series). David Pro (talk) 17:57, 23 January 2010 (UTC) David Pro (talk) 17:57, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Colon insertion seems to make it unlikely as a search query. --Cybercobra (talk) 21:58, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete: who's going to type "Harry Potter," space, colon, space, "movies"?  Glenfarclas  (talk) 04:26, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget per proposer, Harry_Potter_:_movies has been viewed 63 times in 200912. Josh Parris 09:26, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget gets about an average of 30 or so per month dips to 20 at times peaks around 60. I think those numbers are sinificant enough for a redirect Ottawa4ever (talk) 20:31, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget with the number of hits retarget to Harry Potter (film series) NativeForeigner Talk/Contribs 01:29, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

November 9, 1985

The result of the discussion was Retarget to 1985, although a larger discussion would indeed be useful. ~ Amory (utc) 19:26, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deletion. There's nothing significant said about that date in the target article, nor was there any sourced material about the original creater's claim about it's the most Metal albums released in one day. Mistakefinder (talk) 16:27, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, if anything it should redirect to the year, not specifically it in music. But even in that state it seems silly to have navigational aids for every date in history pointing to year articles. --Taelus (talk) 16:30, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to the year; I can understand trying to look up a specific date. --Cybercobra (talk) 22:01, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to
    July 4, 1776, etc. Thryduulf (talk) 13:38, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply

  • Keep vectorize - verb: "To convert an image into a vector graphics format." Which is what that the target template requests. --Cybercobra (talk) 21:56, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep seems like an appropriate synonym. 76.66.192.206 (talk) 06:10, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rt. Hon. Kenneth Harry Clarke

The result of the discussion was Delete ~ Amory (utc) 00:01, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have never heard Kenneth Clarke referred to with the name Harry, ever. I doubt anyone ever has. Totally implausible search term, especially with the overly complicated prefix SE7Talk/Contribs 13:46, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as an implausible search term, combining an abbreviated honorific and full personal name. Ken Clarke, as he is perhaps best known, does not routinely use his middle name. Thryduulf (talk) 15:42, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Equus (play) as metaphor for horse and man

Completely implausible search query Cybercobra (talk) 10:22, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete per nominator. Thryduulf (talk) 15:43, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Differences between book and film versions of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Not a valid redirect. — the Man in Question (in question) 02:11, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom --Cybercobra (talk) 10:31, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah, these were redirected instead of deleted not too long after the articles themselves were deleted, I believe. I think too much time has passed for anybody to still consider going there. Delete. --Fbv65edeltc // 17:38, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Snape kills Dumbledore

The result of the discussion was No real consensus for deletion ~ Amory (utc) 06:45, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Icklibõgg

The result of the discussion was Delete ~ Amory (utc) 23:51, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More fan fiction. Not mentioned in target article. — the Man in Question (in question) 01:54, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom --Cybercobra (talk) 10:33, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: part of a rumored title for book 6, Harry Potter and the Toenail of Icklibogg (see e.g. [1]); I think the fan fiction came later. Nevertheless, seems an unlikely search term, and since it isn't mentioned in the target article, I can't really see the sense in keeping this. Scog (talk) 13:51, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Harry Potter and the Green Flame Torch

Another work of fan fiction. — the Man in Question (in question) 01:46, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Harry Potter and the Last Horcrux

The result of the discussion was delete. Jafeluv (talk) 09:17, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A work of fan fiction. Not a name by which the novel is referred to. — the Man in Question (in question) 01:44, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hogwarts Hallows

The result of the discussion was delete. Jafeluv (talk) 09:16, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently the name of a fan site. The deathly hallows have little to do with Hogwarts, and are never referred to by any such name. The name seems to be confusing the Hallows with the

Horcruxes, which are indeed connected with Hogwarts. — the Man in Question (in question) 01:42, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply

All was well

The result of the discussion was delete. Jafeluv (talk) 09:15, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The final words of the novel are not famous enough to merit a redirect. — the Man in Question (in question) 01:39, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, I doubt it was the only series in history to end in these words. Potentially ambiguous or confusing to the end user. --Taelus (talk) 12:08, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The uber wand

The result of the discussion was Delete. NW (Talk) 19:14, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not a name by which the elder wand (to which it refers) is called. — the Man in Question (in question) 01:38, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom --Cybercobra (talk) 10:34, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as slang, possibly per
    WP:MADEUP. In a way it is also a matter of opinion as to what "the uber wand" would be, thus this is not a helpful navigational aid. --Taelus (talk) 12:07, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply

Harry Potter2007

The result of the discussion was delete. Jafeluv (talk) 09:14, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Improbable and poorly spaced. Looks more like a convention than a book title. — the Man in Question (in question) 01:38, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete, it could have possibly been used as an inbound external link, but the page view statistics contradict this possibility. --Taelus (talk) 12:06, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Extraordinary, improbable nonsense. Not to mention it is also The book where remus lupin dies, The book where tonks dies, The book where dobby dies, The book where bellatrix lestrange dies, The book where voldemort dies, The book where snape dies, and why not even The book where harry potter dies—and resurrects!. — the Man in Question (in question) 01:35, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom --Cybercobra (talk) 10:29, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is yet another question redirect. Delete per WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2010 January 2#What is wikipedia. — the Man in Question (in question) 01:30, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All implausible misspellings or paraphrases that redirect to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. None of these were working titles or rumored titles. — the Man in Question (in question) 01:26, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Erin Hunter Plopy

The result of the discussion was Delete. NW (Talk) 19:13, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not sure what Plopy means, and almost never used. Brambleclawx 19:32, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, historically got a couple of dozen hits a month, but I presume that was from an internal link as that has died down now and there are no internal links at the moment. No history other than creation. Josh Parris 09:37, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - every Google hit for this "pseudonym" is a link to Wikipedia or its mirrors. Nothing else supports its use. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 20:00, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry

The result of the discussion was Delete ~ Amory (utc) 06:40, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Rarely used. Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry are two of the authors who write under the psuedonym Erin Hunter, but I highly doubt anyone would look them both up at once. Brambleclawx 19:36, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. --Cybercobra (talk) 21:48, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep there are several articles linking to this redirect. It will have to be bypassed if deleted. I suspect it will affect the readability of the articles too. Josh Parris 09:40, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Cybercobra. No reason to link to a collective name when both authors have articles of their own. Jafeluv (talk) 09:34, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Erin Hunter (disambiguation)

The result of the discussion was Delete ~ Amory (utc) 06:42, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Rarely used. Also, nobody would type "disambiguation" into their search query. Brambleclawx 19:39, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't have an opinion about this particular redirect, but I frequently type "(disambiguation)" in search queries where I suspect that the usage of a term I'm after is not the primary topic and I don't know what the dismabiguator used is. This is actually more common than the description makes it sound. Thryduulf (talk) 20:39, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Implausible search query excepting power-user Wikipedians. --Cybercobra (talk) 21:48, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as a violation of the WP:Disambiguation guideline for naming pages and redirects. Anything with "(disambiguation)" ought only point at a disambiguation page. Josh Parris 09:42, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment if you look at the history of the article, at the end of 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Erin_Hunter&oldid=257785890 it was a disambiguation page. Someone turned it into an article. Someone created this redirect in late 2007, so for over a year, it was a dab page... 76.66.192.206 (talk) 04:00, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply: Yes, but the page changed so much that we couldn't really count it as a disambiguation anymore. Brambleclawx 15:06, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment how about moving the former dab pages content onto the redirect? 70.29.210.242 (talk) 04:11, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Reply Its not a dab anymore, so the disambiguation in the title would be misleading. Brambleclawx 19:13, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That is not what I meant, I meant the dab page (oldid 257785890) 70.29.210.242 (talk) 06:05, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Because the dab page is now unnecessary. Brambleclawx 23:12, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep to avoid breaking incoming links (
    WP:RFD#KEEP). It was a dab page for over a year; mirrors and other outside sources don't change their links instantaneously with Wikipedia. In addition, editors and other readers sometimes click links while looking at obsolete versions of articles. Keeping the redirect maintains the "user friendliness" of Wikipedia. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 17:56, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply
