Delete because previous AfDs (
1,
2) have resulted in delete or redirect and this is an unlikely, recently-created redirect that is replacing a biography. —

- Weak Keep, it is a plausible search term, but the destination of the redirect may not be that informative. --

- Delete as I don't think it is plausible.

- Note: There is a similar redirect here with different capitalisation: [
[1]] (
My apologies if they both resolve to be the same page. However, on my browser, the page without the capitalisation shows the RfD tag, whilst the one with capitalisation does not, so I am presuming they are two different pages.) I checked and they are different pages, as they have unique talk pages assigned to them. Sorry for the confusion. --

Deletion—Loewenstein is a contestant who appeared on the program and no other article contains a link to the Michelle Loewenstein redirect

This redirect was viewed
over 3,000 times in June, but the average is about 800-900 times per month. Nonetheless, the current target does not seem to be a particularly good one... The question "Now what?" is too generic to assume that people searching for the term will be searching specificially for the
meaning of life. Delete or retarget to
Now What. –

Delete.

Implausible search, no significant
incoming links, and
zero traffic. Compare with
What is the purpose of life? (
19 pageviews),
What is the meaning of life? (
320 pageviews), and
What is the meaning of life (
229 pageviews). The existence of these three redirects, and about
20 others, make the existence of this one unnecessary. Delete. (Redirect creator notified using {{
RFDNote}}.) –

Meaning of life? As

Wikipedia is not
Wolfram Alpha. The redirect is not a plausible search, has no history worth preserving, no significant
incoming links, and
zero traffic. See related precedents
here and
here. Delete. (Redirect creator not notified because: hasn't edited since 2007.) –

Delete.
Lenticel (

Wikipedia is not
Wolfram Alpha and "Palestinian" is misspelled. Does not qualify for
CSD R3 because it was not recently-created. The redirect is not a plausible search, has no history worth preserving, no significant
incoming links, and
no traffic (the one view was by me). Delete. (Redirect creator not notified because: shared IP). –

Apparently, this refers to a glitch found in the target game. However, we don't have any content on the glitch, we're not likely to do so in the future, and this isn't a likely term for the target in general. Deleting this will avoid implying that we have (or want) content on the glitch specifically. —
Gavia immer (
talk) 16:26, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
reply
- Delete per nom. The glitch is not discussed in the target article or, as far as I can tell, anywhere else on Wikipedia. The redirect was originally created to direct readers to
Super Mario 64 Glitches, until that page itself was deleted and redirect. –
BLACK FALCON (

- Delete as a misleading redirect. No information relevant to the topic is on Wikipedia, having been previously deleted. --

Nonsensical redirect. Term not even found in article to which it redirects.
Drawn Some (
talk) 02:11, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
reply
- Keep that would be because Kmetija is a Slovenian word roughly meaning "farm". There is a popular tv show about agritourism, called "Kmetija". Highly appropriate redirect.

reply
- Delete as a non-English redirect which does not satisfy the criterion of: there is a direct cultural, geographic, or other connection between the language of the redirect and the topic of the target article. I do not think that it is useful to redirect the titles of television programmes to articles about the topics of those programmes, regardless of whether the title is in English or another language. –

Nonsensical redirect. Impossibly unlikely search term.

- Keep "Hi Li" is how you pronounce Jai alai. It's a useful redirect for someone who doesn't know the proper spelling for Jai alai.

- Delete The excuse that a misspelling should be used as a redirect opens up a huge can of worms -- do you know how many misspellings are possible? We have enough "normal" misspellings without adding one which I had not even seen before.
Collect (

reply
- Keep despite Collect's presumption that misspellings should not be redirects, a very large proportion of them are, and have been regarded by the Wikipedia community as a very helpful use of redirects.

- The only place I had seen "Hi Li" was as a trademark on a game similar to jai alai.
Collect (
talk) 15:45, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
reply
- Delete. Redirects from plausible misspellings are generally desirable, but this is a redirect from an ambiguous phonetic spelling. Because pronunciation varies across languages and across contexts within languages, "Hi li" is not a "useful redirect for someone who doesn't know the proper spelling for Jai alai", since "Hi li" could be phonetically equivalent to "Hee lee", "Hai lai", "Hee lai", "Hai lee", and so on. –

- Keep. This is certainly a plausible misspelling for English speakers. ---
