RFD? Sounds to me like a convention of UFO
fanboys. Terrifying!
Redirects are useful. If you see a really silly one, nuke it. Why should RFD
even exist?
To give people a page to feel powerful on?
Make it part of misc for deletion again?
- d.
Or just simply list it on MFD. I still don't get why we have this page for
redirect discussion. Redirects are fundamentally useful, fairly unimportant
things that should be included wherever possible. Redirects are the obvious
exception to my usual deletionism. Delete offensive and silly stuff wherever
found - why the need for RFD?
I share David's sentiments on this. Some
practices are mysteriously
guided by something greater than rationality. Keeping these people
occupied with looking for pots of steam is a means of keeping them away
from things that really matter. ;-)
