September 29

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on September 29, 2009

LeetIRC

• LeetIRC → Comparison of Internet Relay Chat clients (links to redirect) (stats) 

DeLeet. This article was redirected to circumvent notability guidelines. Wikipedia is not a directory of software, including chat software, and this product is not notable in any event. I suggest that the redirect be deleted and the list it is redirected to be cleaned up of non-notable products. JBsupreme (talk) 07:32, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Keep Abuse of process by User:JBsupreme. See AN/I Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Continued wikistalking/wikihounding and harassment. --Tothwolf (talk) 07:38, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Please try to keep to the subject at hand, your repeated personal attacks are uncalled for. The closing administrator will weigh out the arguments accordingly. JBsupreme (talk) 07:47, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Wikipedia is not for the promotion of products, free or not. The standards for the content of a list are certainly lower than the standards for an independent article, but lists need to have some kind of inclusion criteria in order to avoid becoming promotional vehicles. In the sense that this is a redirect, the product name is an unlikely search term so the choice to make a redirect is poor. The list article does not provide any context at all about this piece of software, so the choice of redirect targets is poor. Miami33139 (talk) 21:50, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Joe Coleman (actor)

• Joe Coleman (actor) → Joe Coleman (painter) (links to redirect) (stats) 

Unsure what to do with this; the Joe Coleman disambiguation page gives separate listings for Joe Coleman (painter) and Joe Coleman (actor), with different birthdates, so it is perhaps suboptimal to have one title redirect to the other.  Skomorokh  23:56, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Joe Coleman (actor): The actor has no incoming links and redirecting to disambig would simply create a a loop.--Labattblueboy (talk) 00:42, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete redirect and remove entry from Joe Coleman dab page (I have boldly done the latter) as it was Joe Coleman (painter) (born 1955) who appeared in Mondo New York (per his own bibliography and other sources). The IMDB page appears to be the source of the 1947 birth date. I don't know if they are simply in error or if they are conflating two people of the same name. -- ToE^T 07:41, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deletion as confusing. Possible retargeting options include (a)The Beatles: Rock Band (the actual game released 3 weeks ago), (b) The Beatles: Rock Band#Promotion (includes one sentence on industry rumors of Activision's attempt to license the material), and (c) Cultural impact of the Guitar Hero series#On the music industry (includes two sentences on the licensing attempt). The old, originally targeted material is here. The YouTube parody video would be a perfect target were it ever to received an article, but that seems unlikely.

• Delete - Clearly no evidence this title will exists. At the time that it was suggested for deletion, a youtube video parodying the Guitar Hero-approach as if they were doing a Beatles game, entitled "Guitar Hero: the Beatles", received some but minor coverage, and thus is not really going to develop into anything encyclopedia where this redirect(s) could be used. --MASEM (t) 00:22, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all but the first; retarget first to The Beatles: Rock Band as A) the actual name of the game is nowhere close to these, and B) The targeted sections no longer exist (nor should they). One redirect (Guitar Hero: The Beatles to The Beatles: Rock Band) should be sufficient as many people mix up the two franchises. I'd also suggest adding the correct names of the Rock Band offerings to the "See also" section of Guitar Hero.147.70.242.54 (talk) 16:23, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

German submarine U-233

• German submarine U-233 → USS Baker (DE-190)#Sinking of the German submarine U-233 (links to redirect) (stats)
• Unterseeboot 233 → USS Baker (DE-190)#Sinking of the German submarine U-233 (links to redirect) (stats)

Propose deletion of these two redirects. Although the targeted section of the target article does contain pertinent information about this German U-boat, it is highly likely that a full article will be written about this German U-boat, and having a non-redlink has (or will) probably discourage that effort. — Bellhalla (talk) 22:25, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kartzuli

• Kartzuli → Pest (organism) (links to redirect) (stats) 

I can find no evidence that kartzuli is used in English, beyond use in various Wikipedia versions based on the original, unreferenced Wikipedia article, which is now this redirect. I can also find no reference to the "Maxin Gouhshtein" mentioned in that original article. The concept seems to be unverifiable, and is, perhaps, a hoax. I believe that the redirect should be deleted. Tim Ross (talk) 12:22, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy delete CSD R3 - not only was the original article a hoax, "Maxin Gouhshtein" earns the Golden Doughnut award for having zero Google hits when being searched. Clearly it's an implausible misnomer, and having been created only 16 days ago, it's recent enough to qualify for speedy deletion. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 18:29, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Almost definite hoax. --JaGa^talk 20:33, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Two-pass encoding

• Two-pass encoding → Smart Bitrate Control (links to redirect) (stats) 

I think this article should be a separated article or redirected to Variable bitrate. (Multi-pass encoding is mentioned in Variable bitrate#Methods of VBR encoding.) It should not be redirected to Smart Bitrate Control (SBC), because the SBC article is more specific about multi-pass encoding software tool Nandub (video processing utility).

"Two-pass encoding" (2-pass encoding) also known as "Multi-pass encoding" is a variable bitrate encoding method and it is used by many codecs and encoders. Reference: [1]. See also articles about other encoders: Dr. DivX#Multi-Pass Encoding, Cinema Craft Encoder. Multi-pass encoding is also used by XviD [2], x264 [3], libtheora (Theora) [4], etc.

"Two-pass encoding" wikilink is used only in Windows Media Encoder article. [5] 89.173.68.106 (talk) 12:57, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
