October 16

Masaya Nakamura

This term can refer to more people than just the photographer. In particular, it is used to refer to Namco's founder. 212.219.11.216 15:05, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I orginally boldly deleted Last measure after the close of this RFD per the closer's notes. It was later restored as a protected redirect per the outcome of an earlier AFD. I don't think that AFD is necessarily applicable at this point because it was predicated on the idea that the content from Last measure had been merged to Shock site so the redirect needed to be retained for GFDL purposes. That content no longer exists in the article and given the fact that the site is apparently not overly notability, there isn't any reason to retain a redirect at this point. As with several other redirects to Shock site that were recently deleted, this just dumps anyone looking for information on Last measure out to an article that doesn't mention the topic, and there is no reason to believe this will change any time soon.--Isotope23 ^talk 11:58, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and salt if there's no reference to it in Shock site then there's no reason why it should be redirected. Salt it due to its vandalism potential. --w^L^{<speak·check>} 13:16, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Public Enemy → Public enemy

Why does Public Enemy (which should refer to the band) redirect to Public enemy (the term)? There is no way to get to the band page (even from Public enemy (disambiguation)). I assume there is actually a Public Enemy page with info about the band. Or am I missing something (bit of a Wikipedia Editor Newbie over here)? TallGuy 08:46, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a broken result of an edit war involving a user who seemingly wanted Public Enemy (band) to be at Public Enemy (which isn't a bad idea) but did so by compying-and-pasting the page contents into the redirect page (not such a good idea). I've fixed the redirect.

I'd recommend changing your RfD to Public Enemy (band) → Public Enemy to discuss moving the page to the de-parenthesised title. I'd support this. Chris Cunningham 10:44, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stin gray → Stingray

It doesn't seem likely that this page is necessary at all. "Sting ray" yes, but this particular spelling I don't think is enough to merit a redirect. WDavis1911 17:45, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Boston sucks → Yankees-Red Sox rivalry

It was a good faith pre-emptive redirect to avoid article creation, but titles like this shouldn't return anything. It's an inaccurate redirect anyway and the section it links too is no longer there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rocket000 (talk • contribs) 21:51, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

→ User:Cyde

I wasn't sure where to list this one, because it is an image, but also a redirect, and redirect is the issue. The image itself it fine (except it has no license info.) This image currently redirects to a userpage because the user uses this as a signature which violates Wikipedia:Signatures#Images. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rocket000 (talk • contribs) 22:07, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
