Both this site and Francisco Javier Solana should be speedily deleted. They were created as vandalism in order to portray Javier Solana as the Beast, and have since been re-used in order to target Solana. The redirect serves no purpose other than to set up a target for further vandalism. This subtle vandalism need st be stopped now. --SqueakBox 20:48, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

Keep as redirect. The vandalism/edit wars won't go away if you'll leave it as a blank article and probably would make it more easier for anyone new to Wikipedia to do so. Megan1967 00:10, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Keep as redirect. It's a perfectly valid redirect, regardless of the original creator's motives for creating the page. Note also longstanding redirect at Javier Solana Madariaga, not created by the same user. -- Curps 00:49, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Keep as redirect if this is indeed his correct full name. We may need to protect it.-gadfium 01:02, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Delete (proposer). It may be valid but it is unnecessary, and needs policing continuously. Solana was left in a vandalised state (fixed older version) without being noticed asnd reverted until I discovered it this morning. All 3 redirects are vulnerable. While Solana is necessary as common usage. I don't believe anyone is going to search for either Francisco Javier Solana or Francisco Javier Solana Madariaga. Neither of these terms are common use. The only reason they should be on wikipedia are if they are common usage, and Solana was set up by a legitimate source. Neither of these names would be on here were it not to facilitate vandalism. Leaving them here is purely an encouragement for the offender(s) to do it again. We can only speculate how many readers typed in Solana and unknowingly read and outdated and possibly doctored version. So I hope those who say keep these not common usage terms are always willing to police this. --SqueakBox 01:04, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)

I would support if the pages were permanently protected--SqueakBox 01:04, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)
