Talk:AIDS Kills Fags Dead

This is the talk page of a redirect that targets the page:
• Anti-LGBTQ rhetoric
Because this page is not frequently watched, present and future discussions, edit requests and requested moves should take place at:
• Talk:Anti-LGBTQ rhetoric

Will we ever be able to end this pointless discussion? I am sorry, but I just don't understand why anyone would want a redirect to be deleted. Could someone please explain that to me?

Secondly, CheeseDreams has just redirected the page to Nazi, claiming that this is "appropriate". What are you people doing here? <KF> 11:17, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)

All I did was revert CheeseDreams' edit. I tend to agree that there's usually no reason to delete a redirect. Some cases do need to be deleted, such as redirecting insults to people's user pages. It's pretty clear to me that this redirect should stay and point to Anti-gay slogan. Rhobite 22:52, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)

This topic has been discussed to death at Talk:AKFD and subpages, particularly Talk:AKFD/redirect. The end-result (with votes) on a whole raft of similar redirects seemed to be a community decision to keep only this one, and Slogan 'AIDS Kills Fags Dead'.

(I personally would concur in this particular case, because of the need to prevent the creation of a new article if this is deleted, but that's purely a practical concern, and not an overwhelmingly strong one. With the increasing number of new editors here, that's a real issue. I suppose we could have agreed to blank it, and leave it protected in that state, which would accomplish much the same thing, but the practical difference between the two solutions is minimal.)

I have no dog in this hunt (i.e. I don't give a hoot one way or the other what is done with this, other than the purely practical concern above), I'm simply the admin who wound up dealing with this after it was brought to WP:RfD. All I am doing is implementing that prior carefully considered community decision. All of which is a long-winded way of saying that if anyone does mess with it, I will revert and protect it in the blink of an eye. If you don't like the current state, get a community consensus to do it, and it will cheerfully be changed. Noel (talk) 00:47, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
