Charles Freeman appointment controversy

Garlic Belt
Moved from an at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Garlic Belt. I have no opinion, I closed it over there since AFD is not for Redirects. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 20:06, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Asprin
I believe that the page should go to Asprin, the drug, instead of Robert Asprin, if people were looking for ROBERT ASPRIN, they would probably type ROBERT ASPRIN instead of asprin, whereas if they were looking for ASPRIN, they would expect to find the drug as the result Gamersedge (talk) 13:05, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- Yup, I agree - I believe it used to do that, or at least exist as a disambig page. Bob talk 13:34, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- Keep the redirect is the correct spelling of the target's family name but would be a misspelling of Aspirin. An appropriate dab template already exists at the top of the Robert Asprin article to point people caught by the misspelling to the appropriate article. --Allen3 talk 14:08, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- Make sense. Unless someone can provide evidence that a average person is more likely to be mityping Aspirin than correctly typing in the person's last name we should keep it as is since the hatlink can direct anyone making a mistake to the article they want to find.--207.236.151.102 (talk) 17:41, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- Change to the drug I am admittedly a worse than "average" speller, but I was pretty puzzled by it until I read the whole thing, because it looked like a perfectly likely spelling to me for the drug. How many people know the man, how many people know the drug? 500,000,000 to 50,000, probably. If there's a 1:100 chance of mis-spelling, then the the drug redirect is 100 X more useful. DGG (talk) 06:27, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
- Dab or retarget to ASA. The most prominent usage is a misspelling of the drug. 76.66.202.139 (talk) 03:49, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- No. We wouldn't do a dab when a hatnote can work better. Tavix | Talk 21:23, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- Retarget to the drug, per DGG. Tavix | Talk 21:23, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
The hardest metal known to man
Delete redirect based upon an inherently POV and peacocky claim about this band. Redirect also has potential for confusion from people looking for information related to metalurgy or fictional substances.--Allen3 talk 13:20, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- Delete highly biased. If you watched one of the recent blockbuster movies, then this should be about adamantium, or it could be about unobtanium... 76.66.202.139 (talk) 05:29, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
- Delete. -Zeus-u|c 05:46, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
- weak retarget to Metal#Density as that gives an answer to the statement posed by the redirect or alternatively delete. PaulJones (talk) 21:46, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
