I don't see how the FIFA World Cup would be any more "real" (or Royal) than any other World Cup. -- Tavix (talk) 20:56, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Iranian folklore has no mention of "chicken amine" or anything about chickens, so the redirect seems unhelpful at this time. The article that User:Jac16888 replaced with the redirect was unintelligible over stretches of more than a few words, fundamentally useless, and hadn't been fixed in the few weeks since its creation. Therefore, despite the dePRODding conjecture of User:Kvng that "improvement is possible", I feel that WP:TNT would apply by now if the page had been left as an article. —Largo Plazo (talk) 15:56, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. The discussion below has found that this redirect is recently created and has a presumed purpose as an insult against other editors. There is rough consensus to delete on these grounds. Deryck C. 17:29, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

IMHO a pointless redirect as it only redirects to WP:DICK and then DICK redirects to Meta, Personally I don't think every swear word needs to be created and redirected to Meta, And the only wikilink to Prick is my talkpage. (The only reason this was created was so the creator could link the word and then kindly call me a prick [1]), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 04:06, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes but not every swear word needs to be redirected back to Meta, WP:DICK is more than sufficient, –Davey2010Talk 16:07, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"WP:DICK" is insufficient, since some people have an aversion to writing expletives due to having some sort of upbringing that is insufficient to use Wikipedia if DICK is the only choice -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 04:34, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
WP:DORK WP:TWIT WP:JACKASS WP:ASS WP:PUSSY which just shows gender bias in WP insults. Legacypac (talk) 01:45, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ha ha. I don't think twit is specific to one sex though, at least in British English; WP:TWAT, maybe. Si Trew (talk) 06:28, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Twit is not gender specific at all, I just think it is an excellent adjective for some people. Legacypac (talk) 06:33, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Further comment Not too long ago, I was called a dumb**** (uncensored) in an edit summary. No action was taken against that editor, other than a civility warning. That would be the appropriate action here. The editor who created the redirect and used it as an uncivil jab should be formally warned for civility and the redirect deleted. This was simple incivility, nothing more. Safiel (talk) 16:39, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedily retargeted to List of artists represented by the Simon Lee Gallery by nominator User:Legacypac. (non-admin closure) by Si Trew (talk) 07:08, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Xnamespace redirect from an illogical move of a decent article back into the namespace of a user that departed years ago. The subject reps a long list of bluelinked artists, which strongly suggests the gallery is notable by association. Legacypac (talk) 03:58, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

feel free to improve the article so it can be moved. As a stale userspace draft it will never help anyone. Legacypac (talk) 04:52, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Legacypac: I've moved the user space article to the list aforesaid and tidied it up a bit. That's still an unreferenced article, but I think it's reasonable to retarget this to there as {{R to list}} or some such. Si Trew (talk) 05:32, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've retargeted Simon Lee Gallery to the new list article. This RfD is now moot. Legacypac (talk) 05:36, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Speedily deleted by User:RHaworth per WP:G7 author requests deletion. (non-admin closure) by Si Trew (talk) 22:55, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:R#D6, as it is a WP:CNR out of article space. -- Tavix (talk) 02:19, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - learned something new. Still say delete. Legacypac (talk) 04:59, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
