1990 Bangladesh Anti-Hindu Violence (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete
]

Made up title near as I can figure, the article sources call this "Anti-Hindu Violence" Which is where the article now resides. Darkness Shines (talk) 07:46, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Yes. The old article was a stub with no valid source to establish it as pogrom. -

- Delete but Rename the existing article to 1992 Bangladesh Anti-Hindu violence, as only Hindus were attacked in this case too [1] [2]. -

Autocunnilingus → Cunnilingus (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Better to have this as a redlink, and thereby encourage someone to write the article. Autocunninlingus is currently mentioned at no point in the cunnilingus article. —

Delete While we should be as flexible as possible, I support the nominator's proposal. Someone seeing the redlink can then lick a new article into shape. Fiddle Faddle 14:00, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sigh. You really bent over backwards for that one, didn't you? I mean, it's as if you were salivating at the chance to make a dirty joke. I can almost picture you sticking your tongue out pensively as you pondered the perfect phrasing. —

Would one not have to bend forwards? There is, of course no such thing as a 'dirty joke' unless one empowers words beyond their meaning. I confess I stuck my tongue out, but was wholly unable to reach anywhere near the target, let alone a conclusion. I must take up Yoga. Fiddle Faddle 16:51, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cumment. Two possibilities:

Autocunnilingus → Oral sex, where it is munchioned, or

Delete and red link it in Oral sex to stimulate writhing about it. – Paine Ellsworth ^CLIMAX! 00:01, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. If it isn't discussed in the target article, it certainly should be.

Delete. If the target page doesn't discuss it, it should be a redlink (per nom). Also, can we please be a little bit more mature here? Jackmcbarn (talk) 02:08, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Also, include it in the target article, but don't link it because that would be a form of autoredirection. – Paine Ellsworth ^CLIMAX! 07:11, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete until the target explains what it is. Siuenti (talk) 11:50, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia as a press source → Wikipedia:Wikipedia as a press source (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ]

I'm fine with XNRs to projectspace based on things that are really important to readers or editors (e.g. creating a new page), but I don't think this meets that bar. I doubt this is a particularly likely search term, and thus this redirect does more harm than good. —

Ahren Elessedil →
Druids (Shannara) (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete

Propose deletion. Ahren Elessedil is not even mentioned on the page the redir points to, and there is no source indicating notability, nor connection with that set of characters in the fictional series. N2e (talk) 02:56, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE: I am proposing deletion of
Ahren Elessedil; but it's not clear that the subst code I put in was correct. Please help if you can. Cheers. N2e (talk) 02:58, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply

Punch! (Canadian TV series) → Punch! (TV series) (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ]

This is an implausible redirect due to its use of excessive parenthetical disambiguation.

The scenario you mentioned is highly unlikely, and it's a slippery slope - should Wikipedia be littered with redirects that were definitely unnecessary originally and would have been deleted but for the fact that they weren't noticed until it was too late to apply

Highly unlikely? This article existed at that title for four years. Four years in which countless people may have linked to it, bookmarked it, remembered its title, or the like. And, umm,
^{(Je vous invite à me parler)} 07:18, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply

There isn't a single link to this redirect from mainspace, and there are barely any links to it from other Wikipedia pages. Of course, links to this page may exist outside Wikipedia, but given the extremely low number of links within Wikipedia, I find this highly unlikely to be the case.

Keep - the default is to keep redirects unless harmful (
WP:RFD#DELETE) which this is not. Conversely, as explained above, deletion could be harmful. The Whispering Wind (talk) 15:24, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply

Keep per PinkAmpersand. That says it all. No harm in keeping, possible harm in deleting. Not saying it's likely, just that it's a matter of weighing the options. --BDD (talk) 05:32, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is an implausible redirect due to its use of non-standard parenthetical disambiguation.

Keep per my comments above. To elaborate slightly, the circumstances under which it would be appropriate to delete a redirect from a previous title are, in my opinion, only the following: if the move was bad-faith (i.e., vandalistic); if the move was in error (e.g., a typo), and was quickly fixed, and the error is not itself a likely search term; or if the move was good-faith but severely problematic, due to major content policies like

Keep per PinkAmpersand. Generally, former titles should be retained as redirects; I see no circumstances here that would warrant an exception. --BDD (talk) 17:44, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
