Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2011 November 20

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was Keep to maintain edit history, and is a reasonable typo. Malinaccier (talk) 21:09, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Daito Bunka Unversity → Daito Bunka University (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Delete.Spelling mistake. This redirect is meaningless. Japanmonthneed (talk) 09:51, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Reasonable typo. May be required to keep edit history from a 2003 merge or 2004 rename? — Arthur Rubin (talk) 17:18, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Keep. No consensus to delete, and is marginally useful. Malinaccier (talk) 21:01, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Kingdom Hearts II KeyBlade INFO → Sora (Kingdom Hearts) (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Basically CSD R3, except not recent. Unlikely redirect, used to be a gamecruft page then redirected to Sora (Kingdom Hearts), then to Characters of Kingdom Hearts#Sora section and wrongly propagated with section unlinking tools. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 09:25, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Cumbersome, oddly structured title. However, it gets 150-200 hits each month so some readers find it helpful and there is some relevant content at the target. As a longstanding redirect, deletion could adversely affect external sites etc. Sorry, I am not seeing any good reason to delete. Bridgeplayer (talk) 15:30, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • As I mentioned, that's because of the various assisted editing tools "fixing" the section redirect to this redirect (such as dablinks, which brought me to this one in the first place). So clicking "Sora" link on the pages I delinked ([1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]) is what caused visit hits. Regarding external sites, it's an implausible redirect title and I don't see how any Wikipedia mirrors benefit from it since search engines search by content and Wikipedia links are rel=nofollow anyway. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 21:54, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: if the page was absent, the search results instead would bring several relevant articles, which may happen to be a better solution. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 12:03, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Hopefully another week will produce something other than a "no consensus" closure

• Keep as per Bridgeplayer. Not to reach at least some consensus, but as he's actually right and the redirect seems to be used by external sources. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 14:26, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • It seems illogical that we ought to keep a clearly bad title just because external mirrors indiscriminately picked it up. I am yet to see any useful pages with this title: [9]. Is this useful [10]? Or sites that clearly just paste the redirect page [11] vs [12]? What external sites are adversely affected? A claim is made, but I see no sites that benefit from a wrong title. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 14:37, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
