*'''Weak keep''' - for those unfamiliar with the spelling it's a plausible error. Some apparently reliable sources make the error, as does [http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?pos=3&intObjectID=4323073&sid= Christies].

non-existent entity, improbable redirect. Minor nuisance for searching, as the redirect comes up before the actual entry, minor, non-zero potential for causing confusion [[User:Jd2718|Jd2718]] ([[User talk:Jd2718|talk]]) 07:04, 13 October 2008 (UTC) |

*'''Keep'''. As a former proposal, this is a plausible search term. See [[User talk:NE2#Forked River Borough, New Jersey]]. --[[User talk:NE2|NE2]] 07:18, 13 October 2008 (UTC) |

He publishes in the following areas: crime and policing, religion and ethno-religious conflict, the sociology of the Bible, peace processes and post-violence adjustments, qualitative research methodology, especially ethnography, Adam Ferguson and the Scottish Enlightenment, and interpretative sociological theory. |

*'''Delete.''' Based upon [[User talk:NE2#Forked River Borough, New Jersey|the discussion]] that NE2 (the redirect's creator) cited above, the redirect's usefulness depends on the following:<br/>1. Someone must be unfamiliar with Forked River, New Jersey.<br />2. He/she must nonetheless encounter the text of or a reference to an 85-year-old failed proposal to incorporate Forked River as a borough (something so obscure that it has zero Google web hits and that I was entirely unfamiliar with despite residing in Forked River for 23 years).<br />3. He/she must somehow do so without realizing that said proposal pertained to an existent (both then and now) unincorporated area called "Forked River, New Jersey" (which he/she otherwise would type instead).<br />4. He/she must decide to type "Forked River Borough, New Jersey", despite the fact that Wikipedia never uses this format for the title of an article about a New Jersey borough unless there is a separate incorporated New Jersey municipality with the same name. (This applies to six of our 294 articles about past and present New Jersey boroughs.)<br />5. He/she must have JavaScript disabled. (Otherwise, the article's actual title would appear before he/she could type more than "Forked Ri".)<br />It seems substantially less plausible for all of the above to occur than it is for someone to be confused by the incorrect reference to Forked River as a "borough" that appears before the article's actual title for most users performing a search. —[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 07:30, 13 October 2008 (UTC) |

non-existent entity, improbable redirect. Minor nuisance for searching, as the redirect comes up before the actual entry, minor, non-zero potential for causing confusion Jd2718 (talk) 07:04, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. As a former proposal, this is a plausible search term. See User talk:NE2#Forked River Borough, New Jersey. --NE2 07:18, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. Based upon the discussion that NE2 (the redirect's creator) cited above, the redirect's usefulness depends on the following:
1. Someone must be unfamiliar with Forked River, New Jersey.
2. He/she must nonetheless encounter the text of or a reference to an 85-year-old failed proposal to incorporate Forked River as a borough (something so obscure that it has zero Google web hits and that I was entirely unfamiliar with despite residing in Forked River for 23 years).
3. He/she must somehow do so without realizing that said proposal pertained to an existent (both then and now) unincorporated area called "Forked River, New Jersey" (which he/she otherwise would type instead).
4. He/she must decide to type "Forked River Borough, New Jersey", despite the fact that Wikipedia never uses this format for the title of an article about a New Jersey borough unless there is a separate incorporated New Jersey municipality with the same name. (This applies to six of our 294 articles about past and present New Jersey boroughs.)
5. He/she must have JavaScript disabled. (Otherwise, the article's actual title would appear before he/she could type more than "Forked Ri".)
It seems substantially less plausible for all of the above to occur than it is for someone to be confused by the incorrect reference to Forked River as a "borough" that appears before the article's actual title for most users performing a search. —David Levy 07:30, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
