Redirects

Due to the large volume of nominations, the redirect deletion nominations that occurred on 11 June 2006 will be discussed here. Please leave comments listed under the opening statement. Please leave your vote in the appropriate keep or kill list for better tabulation. --Lint 18:53, 11 June 2006 (BST)

Lowercases

Advanced tracking, Expert tracking, Firearms training, First aid, Natural medicine

Not necessarily bad lowercases. Thery are common enough for use with the search bar and the "go" feature. (Note: Per example provided by Elembis, the author has removed their initial Keep vote.) --Lint 19:29, 11 June 2006 (BST))

  1. Keep
  1. Kill. "Go" and "Search" appear to be case-insensitive. For example, Native knowledge doesn't exist, but typing "native knowledge" in the search box and hitting "Go" takes me to Native Knowledge (which redirects to Skills). Also, searches for "native knowledge" and "Native Knowledge" give identical results. — Elembis (talk) 19:16, 11 June 2006 (BST)

Plurals

Clans, Herbs, Huts, Spirits

Not necessarily bad plurals. They are common terms useful when using the search bar and the "go" feature.

  1. Keep. --Lint 18:53, 11 June 2006 (BST)
  2. Keep. I made all of these deletion requests without "Go" in mind. Plurals are indeed useful enough to be worth keeping. — Elembis (talk) 20:37, 11 June 2006 (BST)
  1. Kill

Common

Sword, Trading post

Ingame terms or conceivably common player-used alternatives.

  1. Keep. --Lint 18:53, 11 June 2006 (BST)
  2. Keep. The game itself says "It looks like this hut is some kind of native trading post", at least in Raktam, and "sword" is a close synonym for "heavy sword". However, I think we should be careful to only allow articles for terms that are actually used by the game or other players, rather than open the door for all terms players might use as synonyms ("shop", "market", "merchant's store", etc.). — Elembis (talk) 00:49, 12 June 2006 (BST)
  1. Kill

Clans 1

RE, Mercenarys Guild

Clan acronyms and workarounds to punctuation (periods, apostrophes and so forth) should be acceptible.

  1. Strong Keep. --Lint 18:53, 11 June 2006 (BST)
  1. Kill
  1. Whatever. =) — Elembis (talk) 00:49, 12 June 2006 (BST)

Clans 2

Order of York Patriots, The Order of Patriots, The south shartak trading company, The Wailers, York Patriots,

A bit spammy perhaps, but they help mainly with use with the search bar and the "go" feature.

  1. Keep. --Lint 18:53, 11 June 2006 (BST)
  1. Split. Redirects consisting only of a clan's name prefixed by "The" are okay and likely to be searched for, so we should keep The Order of Patriots and The south shartak trading company (moving it to The South Shartak Trading Company). However, we should kill greater deviations like Order of York Patriots because they are (1) probably searched for rarely, if at all, (2) extremely likely to give the correct page as the top hit in a search if the redirect doesn't exist (e.g., search for "order of patriots york" or "headhunters wiksik"), (3) likely to point people to the wrong clan page, or be contested, without a vagueness limit (e.g., does "york protectors" refer to the Colonial Police or the Order of Patriots?), and (4) likely to cause additional (if limited) article bloat as more clans are formed. — Elembis (talk) 00:49, 12 June 2006 (BST)
  1. Kill
