The result of the discussion was no consensus. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 23:27, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - implausible search term for an incorrect middle initial. We don't need potentially 25 redirects from every wrong letter of the English alphabet. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 23:57, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - not only not implausible, this is a widespread typo that even appears in Senate proceedings - here, Library of Congress - here, news report of 9th Circuit decision - here, Harvard Law Record - here, etc. Many more uses can be found from a Gsearch. In addition, the hits stats show that it is a searched for term. Bridgeplayer (talk) 00:29, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: the first link above is a third-party report of a Senate proceeding, not the actual Senate proceeding itself. And question: where do you get the hit stats? Bwrs (talk) 17:16, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment - the point is that since this name formation appears in a significant number of sites it is plainly a foreseeable search term. To get the hits, click the stats link by the heading; you can use the resulting result to search on other months. Bridgeplayer (talk) 20:30, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Keep. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:34, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Implausible redirect; no one's likely to search for this monstrously long title, and if they do they'll likely reconsider and just shorten it to "Raped on the Railway" anyway. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 07:06, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - this is the correct title of the story. It doesn't meet any of the deletion criteria - WP:RFD#DELETE. It is quite the longest redirect I've seen but people don't type in such titles; they copy and paste from other sites. It has had about 400 hits since it was created, at the end of April, so it is used for searches. Bridgeplayer (talk) 12:18, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Articles shouldn't be located at long titles like this, but they are perfectly fine as redirects. No harm is caused by keeping this. — Gavia immer (talk) 22:42, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - the likelihood that anyone searching for this is not going to twig that "hey, this 'Raped on the Railway' article that's popping up as I search for 'Raped on the Railway: a True Story blah blah blah' is probably the article I'm looking for!" is nil. Extremely implausible search term, serves no purpose. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 00:01, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm sure there are innumerable people who copy exactly "Raped on the Railway: a True Story of a Lady who was first ravished and then flagellated on the Scotch Express" from some other source and paste it into a WP search engine. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 05:24, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Should someone improbably type "Raped on the Railway: a True Story of a Lady who was first ravished and then flagellated on the Scotch Express" into the search box and not stop at or select the actual article title, in the absence of this highly unlikely redirect the first search result will be...the article.. No need for a, quote, redirect, end quote, that's twice the length of the first article that will turn up as a search result. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 06:30, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Bridgeplayer. Should probably be kept even if it really was implausible, which the statistics heavily indicate it isn't. Sideways713 (talk) 10:45, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reluctant keep - redirects are cheap; no harm done. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:30, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - redirect title is the official, formal, actual title of the book. "Raped on the Railway" is a - no doubt handy - abbreviation: but still an abbreviation. If anything "Raped on the Railway" should be the redirect to the actual, real, formal title of the book, viz: "Raped on the Railway: a True Story of a Lady who was first ravished and then flagellated on the Scotch Express".

The result of the discussion was speedily deleted by User:JamesBWatson per WP:CSD#R3. NAC. —  Glenfarclas  (talk) 14:50, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Implausible spelling error; I think most people, if not everyone, realise that "Fucksia" isn't a colour. A google search almost exclusively produces hits on social networking sites for usernames. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 07:02, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Retargeted succesfully. Jclemens (talk) 02:25, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect points to no-longer extant section of target page, and there's simply nothing appropriate within that article (no reference to the term at all) to indicate to a reader why they landed at that article. No objection to a retargeting of the redirect, but I don't see that it's useful pointing to its current destination. Jclemens (talk) 05:24, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Inappropriate disparaging term being used as a redirect. It's a term used to disparage a number of different Australian universities, depending on state. It's not necessarily identifiable to any one uni, and would not be reasonably used to search for any of them. (Note that I currently work at the target, so I have a COI - however, I'm not connected with the previous target). - Bilby (talk) 03:55, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
