March 27

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on March 27, 2008

The result of the debate was delete. Black Falcon (Talk) 01:13, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unusual spelling for a redirect that is unlikely to be a common spelling error. An appropriate redirect from "Foxford School" to "Foxford School and Community Arts College" is in place. Snowman (talk) 23:36, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Very weak delete. It is not unprecedented to keep a redirect with a title with improper capitalization, but in this case the improper case occurs in the middle of the word. Highly unlikely search term. B.Wind (talk) 03:40, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. See [1] for how this redirect came to exist: another author created an article about the school misnamed as FordFord School, which I first corrected to FoxFord School and then Foxford School. (That article has since been merged into the existing article for Foxford School and Community Arts College and is itself now a redirect.) This redirect was automatically created by the page renames I performed and I agree it serves no useful purpose whatsoever. Ros0709 (talk) 10:22, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Not a useful redirect ("FordFord" vs. "Foxford") as it is a most unlikely search term. B.Wind (talk) 03:34, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect is a result of vandalism Chris! ct 18:00, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Calling it "vandalism" is actually assuming bad faith as "Phœnix" is the actual name of the mythological bird, but nothing links to the redirect in question, and "œ" appears to be available only in the links below the editing window. Thus it is a highly unlikely search term. Delete. B.Wind (talk) 03:58, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since the mythical bird is not related to the team and the word "Phoenix" on the team name is always spelled out like its namesake city, so this redirect is plain wrong. Sorry if I sounded mean, but looking at the high level of vandalism on the team article, it is quite logical to assume that this redirect is a result of vandalism.

Redirects to an article that was merged per afd discussion.--Tdl1060 (talk) 03:13, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did exactly this already, so this can probably be closed. Gavia immer (talk) 14:48, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect is the fallout from a move-and-move-back exchange; I don't think anyone really wanted bad habit to redirect to anti-pattern, which doesn't make much sense. Anti-pattern is a term specific to computer programming, so links to or searches for bad habit are rather unlikely to intend the anti-pattern meaning.
