[phone]

The result of the discussion was Delete. Ruslik_Zero 15:33, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• [phone][phone] → Soulja Boy Tell 'Em (links to redirect) (stats) 

A phone number seems like an unlikely search term for an individual and may be potentially in violation of that person's privacy. — ξ^xplicit 21:19, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• • This doesn't seem to be a real number; it was mentioned in one of his songs. Either way, Delete as obscure search term. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 02:32, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - It was mentioned in his song "Kiss me thru the phone", and apparently it goes to a recorded message left by him which changes periodically. Not sure if it is a reasonable enough search term to keep, but if so I'd say a retarget to the song page would make more sense, with a mention of the number.

• Delete. Worrisome precedent to start using phone numbers as redirects (even if it is fictional). -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 14:45, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to Kiss Me Thru the Phone. This should not be treated as precedent for future discussions about phone number redirects (besides possibly 867-5309), as this is clearly a fictional number. GlassCobra 14:48, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - there's a difference between a title (or subtitle) of a song and its lyrics. Since the phone number is not mentioned in either the target or in the Kiss Me Thru the Phone, deletion would be a better option. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 16:16, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Soulja Man

The result of the discussion was Delete. Ruslik_Zero 15:31, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Soulja Man → Soulja Boy Tell 'Em (links to redirect) (stats) 

Unlikely search term. The rapper, Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, has never used Soulja Man as a stage name or a nickname. — ξ^xplicit 21:13, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as per nom. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 14:45, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Roman provinces 120 AD

The result of the discussion was Delete. Ruslik_Zero 15:29, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Roman provinces 120 AD → Template:Roman provinces AD 117 (links to redirect) (stats) 

The 'Template:Roman provinces 120 AD' was used to list all Roman provinces and used by the majority of articles. The '120 AD'-part created an unavoidable problem: the maximum extent was in AD 117 during Trajan. I moved the template towards a better name and improved all relevant articles. I propose the deletion of the useless redirect asap, provided someone improves the other language wikis first. Could a bot do this work? Flamarande (talk) 12:53, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
