June 11
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on June 11, 2008
This redirect appears pointless, as this spelling is not mentioned in the article, nor does it seem likely that it would be searched for. The term also applies to Acheri (legendary creature) Kivar2 (talk) 16:44, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Unlikely search term. I'm moving this discussion from AfD to help the user who mistakenly nominated it there, The Founders Intent, and am expressing no opinion. Deor (talk) 16:38, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Imposible search term. It is highly unlikely for an English language user will search for Shōnen using its Kanji form. --Farix (Talk) 15:04, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Keep, harmless. And why shouldn't you cut&paste the kanji and search for them? Kusma (talk) 15:17, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Not mentioned in target article - not surprising since Ice Age 3 (Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs) is scheduled for a 2009 release. I am also adding Ice Age IV → Ice Age (film), with the same justification. B.Wind (talk) 05:38, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. Per WP:CRYSTAL. The third film is still in production; it can't be verified yet whether or not there will be a fourth installment. --Mizu onna sango15/水女珊瑚15 08:28, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Delete per Mizu.--Lenticel (talk) 13:18, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Incomplete title (should have been "Pi to the millionth decimal place") and too long to be a useful search item even if the "correct" name were indeed used. While the article mentions that Pi has been calculated to trillions of places, nowhere in the article does it show the first million places of the irrational number, or even discuss the first million decimal places of pi (π). B.Wind (talk) 05:17, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Delete per nomination. --Mizu onna sango15/水女珊瑚15 08:30, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- There's precedent for this at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pi to One Million Digits, though I don't think either makes a particularly good redirect. Since this actually started as a listing of the first million digits, not a redirect, it should be deleted; redirecting only makes sense as an alternative to salting. —Cryptic 08:42, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- I agree that a redirect is a better answer than salting the page. Keep and protect with a comment on the Talk page to the prior discussion to make it very clear to future editors that we've already considered the question and that this is not content appropriate tot he encyclopedia. Rossami (talk) 14:39, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Not mentioned in target section (or target article at all). The article previously here was deleted at AFD; it was re-created so many times (here and at Spyware Terminator) that the title was salted for most of a year. —Cryptic 04:59, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
No mention of "hood rat" at all at the target, which is a disambiguation page B.Wind (talk) 03:54, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Not only is "Vennsenne Klan" not mentioned in the target, the only mentions of the phrase turned up by a Google search are here in Wikipedia. B.Wind (talk) 03:46, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Too general a target to be a useful redirect ("Trimmed in Furs" is nowhere to be found in destination article) B.Wind (talk) 03:34, 11 June 2008 (UTC) With the same justification, I add to the nomination:
B.Wind (talk) 03:34, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Delete as implausible redirects. Both are 1930's American films with sound mix set to mono according to their entries at the IMDB.--Lenticel (talk) 04:39, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Most highly unlikely that the entire title of the redirect - including quotation marks - would be used for a search when Billy Zane would be sufficient (most likely the occurrence of the nickname inside the quotation marks would be bluelinked would be if there is involvement of a piped link. B.Wind (talk) 02:56, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Citing the same justification, I add the following to the nomination:
William "Bill" Clinton → Bill Clinton
Tip "T.I." Harris → T.I.
Antonio "Tony" Montana → Tony Montana
Victor 'Vic' Vance → Victor Vance
Luciano "Lewis" Liberatisciolli → Richard Liberty
Captain Joseph 'Joe' Grusinsky → We Own the Night
Robert "Bobby" Green → We Own the Night
Deputy Chief Albert "Bert" Grusinsky → We Own the Night
Edward "Eddie" Frank Plank → Scott Plank

- Keep all. I agree that the redirects wouldn't be helpful in a search, but names are often given in formats like these in Wikipedia articles (mainly lists). I have seen names like this as redlinks in lists, even though there was an article about the subject. Since then, I've started to create redirects like this when appropriate. Eugène van der Pijll (talk) 12:00, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Keep These redirects are clearly there for a reason and the assertion that they are unlikely is not supported by any evidence. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:31, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Target article does not have a list of episodes of the series, thus making the phrase most highly unlikely to be a useful search item. B.Wind (talk) 02:29, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Citing the same justification, I add the following for additional consideration:
List of Pacific Palisades episodes → Pacific Palisades (TV series)
List of USA High episodes → USA High
List of Undressed episodes → Undressed (TV series)
List of American Family episodes → American Family

I believe this redirect is erroneous: the target article doesn't say anything about the 1894 strike. It's marked as "R from alternative spelling", which makes me think that the redirect creator got it confused with 1891 Australian shearers strike. —Paul A (talk) 01:56, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
