This page is about the newspaper based in Michigan City, Indiana. For the Valley News Dispatch published in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, see
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
We have Valley News Dispatch that redirects there, created on 18 Jan 2009 by
User:Dissolve. So the hatnote was more complicated than it needed to be, and with this edit I have changed it to:
This page is about the newspaper based in Michigan City, Indiana. For the newspaper published in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, see
Valley News Dispatch.
Jeanette is 30 miles from Pittsburgh, whether that counts as a suburb I am not qualified to say: but certainly the article doesn't.

These are unnecessary yyyy.mm redirects. Three of them, namely 2002.11, 2002.12, and 2006.04, redirect to a month in the wrong year.

Weak keep seems reasonable search terms. Correct the erroneous redirects to point to the right months. --

Keep It's not one of the most used ways to write dates, but it's helpful nevertheless. The advantage to formatting them this way is that any sorting or alphabetizing of the set puts them in chronological order. The incorrect redirects have been fixed so that should no longer be a problem. --

Oh, we have
collation orders for that.
WP:MOSNUM would grind its teeth at this. Why not have
1976.03 then? I suppose it is the
User:Thryduulf argument that "it shouldn't be created but if it has been, it shouldn't be deleted". (Paraphrasing Thryduulf). But
MOS:NUM applies and
WP:TITLE to. Sorry to grind the same stone, but why should titles have a
Get out of Jail Free card when content hasn't? These are not just useless, but harmful and blocking searches for common terms like 2006.16 (kilohertz).
Si Trew (

That sounds like my concept of "RfD zen", though I'm sure Thryduulf has said similar things, perhaps even earlier. --

Keep all. These are over 9 years old and deletion carries a real risk of breaking external links. They are plausible search terms and per
WP:RFD#HARMFUL they should be kept unless real harm can be demonstrated (the only example above,
2006.16 (kilohertz), is not referred to in any page I can find and thus no harm is being caused).

The result of the discussion was delete, and I'll do the same for
Adam's ale. It seems there are places this name could be discussed, but right now, it isn't. --

Delete as vague and due to it not being mentioned at the target. It seems to be an obscure synonym for water and/or a
Liquor store in

Weak Keep- Water is sometimes called
Adam's ale or
Adam's wine. This epithet refers to the fact that the biblical Adam had only water to drink. If this is deleted I think
Adam's Ale should go as well. My keep is weak because this term is generally used for humor, and in most cases it would be better to simply refer to
water.—

Weak Retarget to
Temperance movement. It seems that the biblical connotations aren't just for joke. The Temperance movement have religious roots. It seems that their statement about water boils down to "hey if water's good enough for Adam then it ought to be good enough for you". Unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with Western history to confidently include this entry in said article.--

Useless redirect. Unlikely to be searched.

Delete, WP:RFD#D7 broken, target does not exist. Any possible retarget e.g. to
California Air Resources Board would be
WP:CNR, will take as CSD
WP:G8. No internal links, oddly has peak of 4 hits on 24 May 2005, otherwise at bot noise level.
Si Trew (

Comment. Ah, which is why there are the stats for 24 May 2015 when it was only created on 25 June 2015, i.e. four days ago, as stats.grok.se is a bit perverse in giving stats for the target when there are notices in place on the R page.
WP:RFD#D8 kicks in as well then, which again suggests taking to CSD if recently created.

Keep. I created this redirect when someone mentioned the phrase "SanFranBan" in a discussion and I had no idea what they were talking about. I did, quite literally, search for this. Obviously this redirect is not useful to our readers, but may be useful for some editors. Redirects are cheap.

Delete, disparaging neologism with very little currency. Guy (

Delete. Only visible on forums and self-published content. Not even one hit on a truly reliable and independent source to make it stick.
Ritchie333(talk)(cont) 12:15, 1 July 2015 (UTC)reply
Delete Unless I missed it, "SanFranBan" isn't mentioned at either target. In Wiki context, this seems like either a topic ban of
San Francisco related topics, or a ban of everyone from San Francisco; neither one of those seem likely to happen. Especially since that's unrelated to a global ban, I think this redirect is confusing at best. --

Delete all as misleading and a
WP:CRYSTAL violation. The target is the 5th film in the series, not the 6th. (I believe that the nominator meant to add that point ... because I almost voted "keep" until I saw what the issue truly is.)

I don't 100% agree with "retargetting" this redirect as mentioned below, but it's enough to neutralize my previous opinion.
Steel1943 (

Retarget as above. Though generally I would say
WP:CRYSTAL, this is mentioned and referenced, if not by a very
WP:RS source, it doesn't claim to be.

Delete. Misleading, a
WP:CRYSTAL violation, and possibly ambiguous, given the amount of subjects on
Lucy (disambiguation), especially given that
Lucy (film) targets the disambiguation page, and none of the films listed there are in the same film series.
Steel1943 (

Delete per
Steel1943 - "Lucy 2" can refer to anything but either way it's too early atm, No objections to recreation once more stuff crops up. –

The result of the discussion was restore the previous version of the target article. Random86, while this was technically correct, I suspect many readers would not distinguish between bands and groups like this. It sounds like there's consensus to maintain separate lists, whether that involves resurrecting the old article or simply merging the content you previously removed. Let me know if assistance is needed with any of this. --

Comment so exactly where is the information for all-female vocal groups now? --

Comment. Looks like they disappeared with
User:Random86's sequence of edits between 23 June and today. I think we should restore version 668306530 and keep this or at least, do as Random86 suggests, and create a separate list (nobody's stopping anyone turning the redirect into an article).
Si Trew (

Comment - a not-recent edit at
all-female band defines a
girl group as distinct from an all-female band, supposedly on the basis of whether or not its members play instruments, though also that this definition is not universal (and thus potentially POV). I'm with Si on this one, we should revert Random86's edits, but without prejudice against creating a new
List of girl groups based on the existence of these distinctions. If someone else wants to punt that to AfD well that's their choice; the eight-year-old AfD ignored the (maybe more recent) guideline that lists and categories are not automatically redundant.
Ivanvector (

I'm willing to create a new
List of girl groups page with the groups I removed. If my edits on
List of all-female bands are reverted, the lead section there will have to be removed.
All-female band doesn't discuss girl groups, so should the list article?
Random86 (
talk) 19:18, 29 June 2015 (UTC)reply
I think we have rough consensus here that the information removed from the target should go somewhere, rather than be deleted. Over the last day or so I obtained a copy of the old deleted list from a friendly administrator, and I've posted
a question over at WP:AN about having the old version restored so that the content that Random86 removed could be added to it instead. The question is about whether it's technically possible, not a request to actually have it done, and not meant to bias this discussion. If you're interested, have a look. At any rate if we go this way, it would not be necessary to revert the deletion, we can just pull the info from the page history.
