The result of the discussion was speedy deleted WP:CSD#G8 redirect to a deleted page. JohnCD (talk) 18:53, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this *technically* qualifies for speedy, but it's a redirect from a user to a mainspace page for a musician. Regardless of whether they are the same person or not, it's not an appropriate redirect. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 23:13, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

History of persecutions by Christians

The result of the discussion was no consensus. In both of these discussions, numerous reasonable ideas were brought to the table. While there was no consensus on what type of change should be implemented, there's certainly no consensus for keeping it as is either. While this defaults to keep, there's no prejudice against future changes. Swarm X 20:03, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Another bad redirect to a random sub-topic. See my rationale in the discussion on the "#Persecution by Christians" one. Tijfo098 (talk) 15:43, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing "random" about it. The only decent content in this WP:POVFORK was related to the persecution of paqans. The rest was on the crusades (which belongs in an article on religious wars, and some very badly miscourced and plain wrong stuff on the Inquisition which read like it was written by a ten year old and cited to some militant atheist blog (yup, that's right). Given that the redirect makes perfect sense. Volunteer Marek  18:42, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
How is Persecution of Jews in the First Crusade which happened in Europe (not in the Middle East) not part of the "History of persecutions by Christians"? Tijfo098 (talk) 19:20, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
As for the Inquisition being described as persecution, see this academic book written by a historian, for instance. There are plenty more who describe it in those terms. Tijfo098 (talk) 19:26, 6 October 2012 (UTC) PS: Author's page is [http://www.history.upenn.edu/faculty/peters.shtml here. Tijfo098 (talk) 19:32, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You should actually read that article (Persecution of Jews in the First Crusade). For starters, because it was "Persecution of Jews by Crusaders", who were of course Christians. Note the bishops mentioned in the article. Basically, articles like these just don't make sense ("[[Persecutions by xyz") unless they have a more narrowly defined topic like the first crusade one. Volunteer Marek  19:30, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
They make even less sense as redirects to a random sub-topic. Tijfo098 (talk) 19:32, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Make it a disambig page then. Volunteer Marek  19:34, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
As far as that Inquisition source you link to is concerned... well, I'm not sure what to say, except that you should perhaps read the source yourself first before recommending it to others. A good chunk of that book is about the construction of the myths surrounding the Inquisition, which don't really jive with your position. Volunteer Marek  19:34, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"What made it possible [...] to distinguish The Inquisition from other similar forms of religious persectution was [...]" That means it is considers by that historian to be form of religious persectuion. That issue is not part of the myths about the Inquisition the book is challenging. Duh. Tijfo098 (talk) 19:46, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It helps if one reads the entire chapter rather than just a sentence cherry picked via google books search. Volunteer Marek  19:55, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, here's another [1]: "Originally designed for the express purpose of examining the sincerity of Jewish converts (called marranos), the Inquisition quickly gathered momentum and eventually led to the persecution of the entire Jewish population of the peninsula [...]" Still you claim it wasn't persecution? Tijfo098 (talk) 19:57, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, now do you have a source which discusses the Inquisition and "persecution of Pagans by Christians" together? If not, then it's SYNTH. We already have an article on the Inquisition, there's no need for this POVFORK. Like I said, make it in to a disambig page. Volunteer Marek  20:37, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the (former) article was ill advised precisely because of your concerns (SNYT). But the redirect—which is what we're supposed to discuss here—is silly too because many topics qualify as "persecution by Christians" and no Wikipedia article has a full history of those. (To my knowledge no academic effort to compile such a history has been attempted; the topic fails WP:N because it's apparently too broad.) "Persecution by Christians" might possibly be a dab (although not a usual one, see WP:DAB), but this one certainly not because the name implies a comprehensive history. Tijfo098 (talk) 21:40, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Seems a bit weak for a "high-level" article. Kind of an excuse (as one tagger put it) for coatrack. Might be better served by a Portal or "see alsos" or navigation template in the other articles. Student7 (talk) 20:07, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural nom. Original nominator is User:HowardStrong. Nominator has listed this pages incorrectly at WP:AFD and then attempted to speedy them with an invalid speedy tag.

Reasoning at WP:AFD is "Flagrant,vandalistic,spam, not notable, etc." Reasoning at speedy was implausible typo.

Procedural nom only. No opinion about these articles. Redfarmer (talk) 12:47, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
