Delete per Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 November 28#Wwwmyspace.com: " misspellings involving websites that aren't owned by the target are more harmful than helpful. These can be owned by domain parkers or other malicious sites and it is not something that we should be promoting." -- Tavix ^(talk) 22:08, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment is "Yahoo!.com" even a valid address? If not, then the reason for deletion does not apply, and {{R from typo}} does apply, since it is a similar character off, and that character is used in the logo as "Yahoo!" and plugging in a ".com" -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 06:14, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Yahoo!.com as a valid erroneous name for the company's web page since "Yahoo!" is the name of the company. I'm neutral on the rest. Steel1943 (talk) 23:37, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Why is water green → Color of water  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Not sure if this is a plausible redirect, or if it has any encyclopaedic purpose. It was originally an article about algae and water. Adam9007 (talk) 16:16, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• I question whether there should be redirects in the form of a question in this encyclopedia, but there are already a fair number of them floating around (no pun intended). Consequently, I think we should retarget this to Ocean color, which explains: "phytoplankton [in the ocean] preferentially absorb the red and blue portions of the light spectrum and reflect green light." -- Notecardforfree (talk) 16:56, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That wouldn't be a good idea, as there can be green water that's not ocean water: ponds, rivers—even artificially like the Chicago River this time of year. -- Tavix ^(talk) 17:10, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I've tossed this around my mind and, upon further reflection, I think deletion is the way to go here. Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 17:18, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:NOTFAQ, compounded by the fact that there isn't a perfect target that addresses the question. -- Tavix ^(talk) 17:20, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Tavix.—Godsy^(TALK_CONT) 23:50, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete wP:NOTFAQ] -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 06:15, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - we did previously determine that redirects from questions of this sort are acceptable if the target provides a definitive answer to the question. This one does not, and we don't have a better target without creating a Q&A-like article. For one, not all water appears green, and even if it does there are many reasons why that might be the case. Delete per WP:XY then. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 17:37, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per above --Lenticel ^(talk) 00:27, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Amy Brett → Gurl (Amy Brett song)  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Non notable artiste; link is to non-notable song which is at AfD TheLongTone (talk) 14:02, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Moot: TheLongTone, if the song gets deleted, all redirects to that article will automatically be deleted per WP:G8. You don't have to take this redirect to RFD since it'll share the same fate as the song. -- Tavix ^(talk) 17:16, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy delete. I note that there may be a real topic here, though. Marxist archaeology and Socialist realism both touch on the intersection of Marxism and culture. --BDD (talk) 00:07, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Marxist culture → Frankfurt School  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Most sources mentioning Marxist culture do not identify it with Cultural Marxism - this seems to be either pov or confusion by an editor who has made a lot of redirects that are not always appropriate Doug Weller talk 10:02, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• I presume that this redirect was created in reference to the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theories (see Frankfurt School#Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory, which is currently the target of Cultural Marxism). If the article about Marxism had any discussion about its impacts on culture, then I would vote for retargeting it there, but I would also support deletion. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 17:06, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Creator of this redirect now blocked both as NOTHERE and as a sock. Doug Weller talk 21:22, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy delete WP:G5. The creator is a sock of Bozo33, and blocked users are not allowed to contribute. -- Tavix ^(talk) 22:10, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Ruiqi Zhang → List of Chinese films of 2013  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

"Ruiqi Zhang" is obviously a personal name, and I don't see how it can be redirected to that page. I also don't see that person's name on the page (I did find a "Zhangjue Ruiqi") Timmyshin (talk) 03:55, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. Though a majority of voters favored deletion, the continued hits and the fact that the redirect only has one error (missing space) make the keep voters' arguments stronger. Identifying external links is always going to be difficult, but perhaps another site is linking to this and can be corrected? --BDD (talk) 16:32, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Jordan,Michael → Michael Jordan  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete. Unlikely search term or spelling error. Note there already exists another redirect at Jordan, Michael. 1985Chapa (talk) 03:37, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as implausible. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 17:08, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Anyone looking for Michael Jordan will have the common sense to correct their spelling. Colonel Wilhelm Klink (Complaints|Mistakes) 01:40, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete If you are going to make the mistake of searching last name first, we expect that you do so with correct spacing.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:24, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete I say 'weak' because I can imagine someone typing this, but if we had a whole bunch of these, I would go "weak keep". - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 04:37, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong keep - this redirect averages 15 hits per day over the last 90 (which incidentally is several times more than Jordan, Michael). It's being used by someone, and it points at the correct target. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 17:38, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Ivanvector. It's now at 11/day but it's obviously being used, so it's helpful. -- Tavix ^(talk) 18:46, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Caety Sagoian → Bowser Jr.  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Caety Sagoian is the voice actor for fictional character Bowser Jr., but that's basically it. She is not discussed in the article in any way, thus bringing potential confusion, and there's no sense in redirecting a BLP to a fictional character.

• Delete - per nom. Sergecross73 msg me 00:47, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I cannot see any other mention on Wiki that isn't in the context of Bowser Jr. and since this person is likely not notable the current target seems fair. MelanieLamont (talk) 17:18, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - this redirect provides readers with information which is not incorrect. I don't think this is a BLP issue. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 17:44, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per the similar discussion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 December 24#Kenny W. James. If this is the voice actor's only notable credit and the subject of the redirect may not be notable themselves, the connect makes sense. Steel1943 (talk) 23:41, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep She's mentioned in the article's infobox, so I don't see any confusion issue. Meters (talk) 22:53, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
