Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/About gordon wilson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Non-notable (Google doesn't even put this guy at the top of its search for his exact name). The page should be Gordon Wilson if there is someone notable of that name. Only thing of note is that his daughter was killed by terrorists. --Rory 17:49, Jun 13, 2004 (UTC)
  • I made it a redirect to Gordon Wilson, which already mentions this Gordon Wilson (and two others). Since he later became a senator in Ireland (which I added a note of to the article), he may deserve a separate article, but this isn't it, nor is it a valid title. PS Google "gordon wilson" ira or "gordon wilson" senator Niteowlneils 19:38, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)
    • Does it not need to keep the VFD notice? I don't think we should have this, even as a redirect, simply on the basis of the article title. It's just wrong. --Rory 19:51, Jun 13, 2004 (UTC)
      • Not as far as I know--I've seen plenty of VfD entries redirected--Inter alia looks like the most recent example[1]. Niteowlneils 21:41, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • It's not a useful redirect. Should still be deleted. -- Cyrius| 20:16, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)
    • The reason I generally lean towards keeping user-created invalid titles as redirects is to reduce the chances of it getting re-created (as an article) in the future--I figure if one person expected to find it there, someone else may, too. Niteowlneils 21:41, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Useless redirect. Keeel eeeet. DO'Neil
  • Delete. No useful information or therefore history to keep, useless as a redirect. Andrewa 09:51, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)
