Created by User:Mac Lover and User:Flameviper, these redirects are a unilateral addition of another pseudo-namespace with no discussion. If we allow these to exist, there's no reason to think that we won't end up having thousands of these pages, at least one for each user who wants one, and then arguments over who should get what abbreviation and what user is more notable in the community. This is not a good idea, and a borderline R2 to boot. --Rory096 18:43, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cross-namespace-redirect from articlespace. By random coincidence, this redirect is very similar to a concrete example of when we should delete redirects (see number 5.) Picaroon9288 00:09, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
