Scottish Students

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 converted to disambiguation page so out of scope for RFD. NAC. Bridgeplayer (talk) 02:53, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I found this redirect looking for a Scottish students' organisation. I am not aware of "Scottish Students" being a nickname for the women's rugby team, and as searching online does not bring up any connection I would assume it to be some kind of joke. The Celestial City (talk) 23:47, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Doing a bit more investigation, I found there was apparently a team competing under the name "Scottish Students" in the plate competition of the 1994 Women's Rugby World Cup, which was hosted in Scotland, presumably now defunct. The team was not the same as the main women's team, which competed separately in the competition and came fifth. Redirect may be worth keeping, I'm not sure.

The result of the discussion was boldly retargetted to NuGet. The concerns of the nominator have been met. NAC. Bridgeplayer (talk) 20:00, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Microsoft have released a new package manager tool called NuGet. This redirect prevents search results returning this article by redirecting to Nougat. Also, is "nuget" a plausible miss-spelling of Nougat? Teh klev (talk) 11:10, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. I do not recall why I redirected this. :) --BorgQueen (talk) 11:25, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Madison-Woolford, Maryland

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 No consensus to delete. Elen of the Roads (talk) 17:48, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Madison, Maryland and Woolford, Maryland are separate communities, and they aren't combined for census purposes, as neither is part of a census-designated place. The redirect is left over from a pagemove but doesn't really serve a purpose. TheCatalyst31 ReactionCreation 08:23, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - "Madison-Woolford" is a name formulation used locally; see here for example. Consequently it is a plausible search term. The fact that it may not be strictly correct is a different, and not relevant, issue. Bridgeplayer (talk) 19:20, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

The result of the discussion was keep. Nominator has been confirmed and blocked as a sockpuppet, and while other delete votes were made in good faith, the clear consensus is to keep this redirect. Elen of the Roads (talk) 17:24, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

this does not make sense at all SunHwaKwonh (talk) 05:35, 10 November 2010 (UTC) Note, SunHwaKwonh has been confirmed as a sockpuppet of User:Aisha9152 --Elen of the Roads (talk) 17:18, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't have known of this discussion if Michaeldsuarez hadn't notified me; for this I thank him. riffic (talk) 05:08, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
then he should have notified everyone on wikipedia who might vote on it right? no i dont think so. thats why they have watch list and afd listings. SunHwaKwonh (talk) 05:10, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia:Canvassing#Appropriate_notification, this states that it is appropriate to send notices to inform of a particular discussion 'On the talk pages of individual users, such as those who have participated in previous discussions on the same topic (or closely related topics), who are known for expertise in the field, or who have asked to be kept informed.' I was notified simply because I've participated in other related discussions regarding this topic. riffic (talk) 05:17, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
i did read it has something about partisan vs nonpartisan. since he only notify 2 people who he must have known would vote keep it sounds like canvas to me . if he did right he would notify people who vote delete on afd too. SunHwaKwonh (talk) 05:20, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"The audience must not be selected on the basis of their opinions – for example, if notices are sent to editors who previously supported deleting an article, then similar notices should be sent to those who supported keeping it. " SunHwaKwonh (talk) 05:22, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I only noticed two users because it would've been extremely time-and-energy-consuming (in other words, impractical) for me to notify the hundreds of users when participated in all of the part AfD's and DRV's, especially since I don't have access to a bot. Your demands on me are unreasonable. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 05:26, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
i dont think so you violated policy pretty obvious even if you dont mean to SunHwaKwonh (talk) 05:29, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, he followed the precedent. Please do not throw baseless accusations. LiteralKa (talk) 06:23, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
what precedent? where? SunHwaKwonh (talk) 14:11, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Christ, there's precedent for notifying heavily invested editors. LiteralKa (talk) 18:23, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
please dont curse. according to policy he canvassed his notification was partisan. SunHwaKwonh (talk) 20:38, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't curse. You need to familiarize yourself with the policies here before trying to enforce them. LiteralKa (talk) 21:54, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
i ask you not to take lord name in vain SunHwaKwonh (talk) 21:55, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No. Just no. I will not alter my language, CENSOR myself even, to avoid hurting your feelings. LiteralKa (talk) 21:57, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Additionally "i am confused" is not a very good reason for deletion. LiteralKa (talk) 21:40, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The GNAA are a real Internet troll group and are notorious for posting offensive shock content on web forums, however their link to Goatse Security is tenuous at best. I believe the GNAA should be given a wikipedia page that actually describes them rather than linking them to Goatse Security. Unixtastic (talk) 06:03, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The association to Goatse Security is documented in numerous secondary sources. Please read the references michaeldsuarez provided above riffic (talk) 08:54, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The GNAA have a website at http://www.gnaa.eu/ ( warning - offensive and members tag tries to run exploit code ) which fails to mention any link to goatse security. However they do complain that their wikipedia page was removed. Unixtastic (talk) 07:16, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Wrong. Go to http://www.gnaa.eu/ , press CTRL+F, type "Goatse Security". If you look at the footer, you'll see some #BBBBBB text (difficult to see, I know), and that text includes a link to Goatse Security. Here's the source code:
    <div id="footer">

The link between the GNAA and Goatse Security is far from "tenuous" as you've claim. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 13:54, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Futbol

edit
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 Delete. Arguments for deletion are more convincing - this isn't a Spanish word and it isn't widely used in English speaking sources. Elen of the Roads (talk) 23:57, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Same rationale as the Futbolito redirects, recently deleted. Redirect name in spanish for a term not originating in spanish language. --uKER (talk) 13:05, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why would anyone (mis)spell "football" as "futbol" when in English "futbol" doesn't sound even remotely like it's supposed to? --uKER (talk) 13:41, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, it sounds very similar and is impossible to mix up with any other word. "fut" could be a homophone of "foot" or rhyme with "mutt", but by reading "futbol", the former is obvious. McLerristarr | Mclay1 07:58, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - this is the key point. The long-established consensus on here is keep non-English language redirects only in two specific case, where:
