March 29

The result of the debate was delete. John Reaves (talk) 17:24, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is a cross-namespace redirect to the Wikipedia namespace that lacks a useful edit history and has no incoming links from the article namespace. There are a total of 9 non-trivial incoming links from the "User:" and "Wikipedia:" namespaces which I can easily disambiguate upon request.

The article's title is potentially confusing and I doubt its usefulness as a search term. Only experienced users are likely to know about "Navigation popups" and there already exist various shortcuts to it. Moreover, the title "navigation popups" may be confused with "popups during navigation/browsing" (i.e., pop-up ads). I thought of redirecting to pop-up ad, but that gives a bad name to a valuable Wikipedia tool. I think the least problematic solution is to delete the redirect. -- Black Falcon 22:16, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PKK is not only Kurdish separatist organisation and there is no page for Kurdish nationalism nor Kurdish separatism. Francis Tyers · 09:32, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

POV -- I suppose this is the Turkish word for 'Terror'. Francis Tyers · 09:32, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - As POV and overly general based on tr:Terörizm. —dgiestc 04:58, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as a foreign-language POV redirect where the foreign-language term has no particular affiliation with the concept. I oppose retargeting to terror as, political issues aside, the Turkish word for "terror" has no particular association with the general concept of "terror" compared to any other language. For instance, redirecting "cosmonaut" to "austronaut" is justifed because of the USSR's heavy presence in space exploration and because cosmonaut is a term that has wide use even outside of Russia. The same does not apply to the Turkish translation of "terror". We should not have a redirect for every foreign-language translation of a term. We have 1.7 million articles in en.wikipedia and Ethnologue identifies more than 7000 main languages. That comes to nearly 12 billion redirects, not counting redirects for alternate foreign-language spellings, misspellings, plural forms, and so on. Granted, allowing this one redirect to stay won't spawn millions of others, but the general principle applies equally to the millions as it does to this one. -- Black Falcon 05:24, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How weather affects PSI → Pollutant Standards Index

The result of the debate was delete. John Reaves (talk) 17:21, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:Weatherers created an article at How weather affects PSI, which was moved by User:Dweller to Pollutants Standards Index. I observed that there was already an article at Pollutant Standards Index and suggested merging the two. However, after discussion at Talk:Pollutants Standards Index, it was decided that the new article contained only OR. Therefore both Pollutants Standards Index and How weather affects PSI were redirected to Pollutant Standards Index. However, the target article does not actually discuss the effect of weather on PSI, so I believe that the redirect at How weather affects PSI is confusing and should be deleted. The significant page history is at Pollutants Standards Index and would not be lost by this deletion. EALacey 20:36, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
