Pons facere,Pons Facere →Pontifex Maximus

(The first of these was created as an article, which I redirected; the second was created as a redirect to the first by the article's author.) These are highly implausible search terms. AsPontifex Maximus explains, one theory of the etymology of the termpontifex is that it is based on the roots of the wordspons andfacere; but as an expression,pons facere is meaningless in Latin.Deor (talk)21:13, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep. While the reasoning for the deletion seems valid, the phrasedoes appear in the article (with a "+" in between). While it is an unlikely search term, it is not an unreasonable possibility for someone to remember the phrase out of context, and, thus, should be kept as a redirect.B.Wind (talk)01:18, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I'm looking at this phrase: "...the term pontifex literally means "bridge-builder" (pons + facere)" This appears to be the origin of the word; it doesn't seem like a useful redirect.JeremyMcCracken (talk)17:09, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, unuseful redirect.Stifle (talk)10:58, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User:LoserNo1/The Game (game) →The Game (game)

Reason for deletion: Cross namespace double(!) redirect (caused by moving a userfied page into mainspace following adeletion review) - page now serves no purpose.Guest9999 (talk)17:24, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom.--h i s^{s p a c e}_{r e s e a r c h}17:43, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. In addition,The Game (game), the redirect's target article, is not only a redirect: it's a redundant redirect that should be deleted as well.B.Wind (talk)01:23, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, but disagree with the cross-namespace reasoning. IIRC, the only cross-namespace no-nos are onesout of article space, is that right?Dansiman (talk|Contribs)06:21, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Danisman (sort of). I don't think cross-namespace redirects are a problem from User to Article either. I can picture a user making redirects like this to keep track of things; I don't see the problem with letting the user have a redirect in their userspace.JeremyMcCracken (talk)17:12, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Porn law →Child Protection and Obscenity Enforcement Act

I think this would be better redirected toPornography#Legal status as I have just done withpornography law. The current target does not cover all porn law, and is thus an invalid redirect, and is US-centric.h i s^{s p a c e}_{r e s e a r c h}16:16, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Agreed - Redirect should be toPornography#Legal status. --Pmedema (talk)20:01, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect as suggested by nominator - I can't argue with the logic presented above. Of course, it could have beenboldly redirected, but I hesitate to do so while it is under RfD.B.Wind (talk)01:12, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect, per rationale already stated above.Dansiman (talk|Contribs)06:22, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Fix redirect per nom. I don't think the existing one is necessarily invalid, but the new target is much broader.JeremyMcCracken (talk)17:14, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Yup, go and change it.Stifle (talk)10:58, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Television channels and stations established in 1978 →Category:Television channels and stations established in 1978

Procedural nom. Listing this forNew World Man (talk ·contribs) who, through a malformed AfD (see this redirect's talk page) said "This just redirects to a category page and clutters the category."Ten Pound Hammerand his otters •^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)}04:07, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as a useful redirect. This is not a cross-namespace redirect; searcher might not know that there is a category that has a list of television channels and stations established in 1978. There has been plenty of precedent for keeping a useful redirect to a category page.B.Wind (talk)13:25, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I don't think a redirect from article space to category would be useful; if every category had a similar redirect it would cause a massive mess.JeremyMcCracken (talk)17:16, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
