This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on May 1, 2008

Prince of Persia 3 → Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

The result of the debate was Withdrawn, non-admin closure by Lenticel ^(talk) 22:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC)}}[reply]

The redirect implies that the game is a direct sequel to Prince of Persia 2 (which is not). It's true that it's the third part of a separate trilogy in the Prince of Persia series but it's misleading nonetheless. Mika1h (talk) 19:45, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn, I redirected the page to Prince of Persia 3D, which is a direct sequel to Prince of Persia 2 and has a number 3 in its title. --Mika1h (talk) 19:51, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Multiplayer online game → Online game

The result of the debate was RFD not applicable as it's a move request. WP:RM to be used instead. -- JLaTondre (talk) 01:19, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Need to delete this redirect, so that Online games can be renamed to Multiplayer online game. Online means a feature on the web, and can refer to browser-based solo games. the article Online game clearly is meant to focus on multiplayer games.

This is a prior request which i am now reopening, as there has been no dissent at all during several days at the target article, and i would like to get things ready to do this rename. thanks.

Requested move request is now undereway. I think we can close this now. --76.66.182.45 (talk) 23:14, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Fapfapfap → Masturbation

Very unlikely search term, Fap already disambigs to the target, no links in articles. Was previously discussed, ending in no consensus, but it really does seem rather useless. We don't need to have redirects for every 4chan meme created, especially ones that are unlikely to be searched for. RichardΩ612 Ɣ |ɸ 06:13, May 1, 2008 (UTC)

~~Rub it out~~ Delete Unlikely search term indeed. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 17:37, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, and it's not a 4chan meme, it's just something you do when you see Anna Kournikova. -- Ned Scott 05:29, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You just made me shoot Dr Pepper out my nose. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 18:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Nonsensical attempt at humor that apparently works with some Wikipedia editors, but has no place here. It is definitely an unlikely search item (which, by the same reasoning, could be redirected to flat tire). B.Wind (talk) 06:03, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a likely joke and unlikely search term. Olaf Davis | Talk 17:21, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
keep The term is used in a variety of different locations (such as on IRC and webcomics) as a noise made when masturbating. Someone could reasonably type it in looking for a meaning. JoshuaZ (talk) 13:59, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kitten huffing → Uncyclopedia

Unlikely search term. Even though kitten huffing is mentioned in the article, I doubt someone's going to do a search for it here (given that it's not really known outside of Uncyclopedia). And for the record, I have nothing against Uncyclopedia. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 04:49, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Previously discussed about 3 months ago. Search term is a significant Uncyclopedia meme, likely to be searched for, and it is discussed in the target article. Would support full protection of redirect though. Gimmetrow 04:59, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per previous RFD. --UsaSatsui (talk) 10:20, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - actual phrase appears in target article. Because the article mentions it as a form of kitten abuse, the phrase would likely be an easily remembered one. Is kitten puffing far behind? B.Wind (talk) 06:08, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
While I still think that the page should be deleted and maybe salted, the consensus was fairly clear last time. Renomination now seems premature. Rossami (talk) 22:19, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
keep per Gimmetrow and arguments made in previous RfD by JayKeaton. JoshuaZ (talk) 14:00, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Goa Tse → Goatse.cx

This is not a widespread (pardon the pun) spelling; that spelling is used only in a silly Uncyclopedia article. I doubt anyone's going to type it in that way on Wikipedia. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 04:47, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete- It's possible, given Uncyclopedia, and the omission of the dot as a pun. Still, it's not an incredibly likely search term. Mizu onna sango15/水女珊瑚15 16:13, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cracklings → Pork rind

"Cracklings" refers to any crisp animal skin, on a roast or made as a byproduct of rendering fat, including chicken, goose, etc., not only pork. See gribenes, for example. 75.57.125.155 (talk) 00:47, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as the target article displays both US and UK uses of the term. If the IP (or anybody else) can find other documented uses of the term (enough to insert into already existing articles or write new ones for the other uses), I'd strongly urge replacing the redirect with a disambiguation page... but not before.
