The result of the debate was
- Delete. Old redirect page to Praetorians Guards Philip Baird Shearer 20:09, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
It does not make sense to keep it. It is like creating a link from Imperials to Imerial Guards.
Before I put it up for deletion I spent time moving a link from it to Praetorian Guard so nothing links to it (apart from Wikipedia:Votes for deletion) . I am in the process of doing the same thing for Pretorian Guard and Pretorian guard.Philip Baird Shearer 21:14, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- I speedy-deleted it - it's an empty page, with nothing linking to it. No point debating the issue. - DavidWBrooks 20:15, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Restored. next time you delete an article, please look into its history. Some editors blank an article without giving it much thought. The word "praetorians" is searchable, hence redirect makes sense. Mikkalai 20:40, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- In a perfect world, nothing is supposed to link to a redirect page. Keep. (And thank you for immediately restoring it. This should never have been considered a speedy candidate.) Rossami 21:10, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Redirects should be handled on Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion. -Sean Curtin 23:13, Sep 8, 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. The "deleter" seems to ignore my siggestion to look into Wikipedia:Redirect article. It goes in great detail what and which redirects are for. Mikkalai 23:28, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Keep as appropriate redirect. -- Jmabel 00:40, Sep 9, 2004 (UTC)
Philip - Can we remove this listing from the VfD page? On this page we don't deal with redirects. -- Netoholic @ 00:27, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
