14:09, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]Extremely undescriptive title for any article, unrelated to the target. The article was originally at this title, but for less than one day in January 2006. No evidence that this is in use or likely to be useful for anything in the furure.—Gavia immer (talk)19:02, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

02:36, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]This is one example from a rather large set of redirects that were created by a now-banned editor (seeWikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2008 June 4.Mannyribera and the block of redirects below (all also nominated for consideration and comment) appear to be attempts for various variations of target names. While plausible misspellings lead to redirects that are justified to be kept, some of these are simply unlikely variations (such as "Jeffrey Daniel Phillips" which appears to be anextension of the actual name but not the actual name itself). The last one is added as the subject of the article was rarely - if ever - referred to by only his last name, and only then in the context of an article that mentions his first name at least once. Also nominated:
Haydin Christensen →Hayden Christensen
M.J. Mcdonnell →M.J. McDonnell
MJ McDonnell →M.J. McDonnell
Jessy Stroup →Jessica Stroup
Donald Lyman Shanks →Don Shanks
Katie Knighten →Ava Santana
Kathryn E. Knighten →Ava Santana
Jenn Tilly →Jennifer Tilly
Jeffrey Daniel Phillips →Jeff Daniel Phillips
Jordan Brewster →Jordana Brewster
Harison Ford →Harrison Ford
Walter Houghston →Walter Huston
Virginia Admiral-De Niro →Virginia Admiral
Damski →Mel Damski

- In order of listing:
- Mannyribera →Manny Ribera: weak delete, very unlikely to be useful.
- Haydin Christensen →Hayden Christensen: keep, plausible misspelling.
- M.J. Mcdonnell →M.J. McDonnell: week keep. Theoretically case is handled by the MW software, but this isn't true of URL type-ins, and though type-ins are fairly uncommon,"Mcdonnell" --> "McDonnell" is a very plausible mistake.
- Jessy Stroup →Jessica Stroup: keep, plausible search term.
- Donald Lyman Shanks →Don Shanks: tentative keep. IMDB refers to him as "Donald L. Shanks" so this looks like the proper full name, but I'm not certain.
- Katie Knighten →Ava Santana: keep, alternative name
- Kathryn E. Knighten →Ava Santana: keep, alternative name
- Jenn Tilly →Jennifer Tilly: weak keep, plausible search term.
- Jeffrey Daniel Phillips →Jeff Daniel Phillips: keep, plausible search term.
- Jordan Brewster →Jordana Brewster: keep, plausible search term.
- Harison Ford →Harrison Ford: keep, plausible misspelling.
- Walter Houghston →Walter Huston: keep, plausible misspelling.
- Virginia Admiral-De Niro →Virginia Admiral: delete, no need for "wife-husband" redirects.
- Damski →Mel Damski: keep, last name references are used pretty universally so this seems potentially useful. If we get another Damski the page should be disambiguated.

- Keep the following as plausible typos: Haydin Chritensen, M.J. Mcdonnell, MJ McDonnell, Harison Ford;keep as shortened (informal) versions of actual names (although informal versions should be discouraged as much as possible) Jessy Stroup (does anybody actuallycall her Jessy?), Katie Knighten, Kathryn E. Knighten, Jenn Tilley (I don't think even her own family calls her "Jenn");delete as potentially confusing extensions of names Jeffrey Daniel Phillips, Donald Lyman Shanks (I see no evidence indicating that the middle initial stands for Lyman), Virginia Admiral-De Niro (she doesn't use the hyphenated form; neither should Wikipedia);delete as implausible typo mannyribero, Walter Houghston;delete as potentially confusing Damski (no context - he is referred by last name only after his complete name is stated in an article) and Jordan Brewster (potentially confusing as a clearly feminine name has been tranformed into a masculine or gender-neutral one).147.70.242.40 (talk)20:12, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The result of the debate was
Deleted. If there is a notable magazine, then it should should up as a redlink on the dab page; not be redirected to the dab page. --

14:13, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]It looks like a valid redirect, but the dab page target doesn't contain any links to magazine articles, nor is there any mention ofJezebel magazine.B.Wind (talk)04:14, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Google search suggests the magazine deserves it's own Wiki-article so I've added a mention at the disambiguation page.[1]JaakobouChalk Talk07:50, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- A discription not including the URL would be less likely to be removed as linkspam. What makes it significant - and what separates the "new"Jezebel (as it's titled) from the (assumably) former magazine of the same name?B.Wind (talk)23:12, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I see no evidence of an onlineJezebel magazine that is worthy of its own Wikipedia article - the one at the just-removed URL has been around about a year, if I read the site correctly, and I see nothing there that separates it from many of the other picture sites on the Web.147.70.242.40 (talk)20:16, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
