James r kirk → James T. Kirk

The result of the discussion was Retarget to James R. Kirk per Blanchardb. Non-admin closure. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 00:17, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Captain Kirk is never referred to as James R. Kirk in the Star Trek universe, as far as I can tell.  Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 00:08, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks to Google I've found out what this is referring to. Apparently in the first episode they spell out Kirk's name on a tombstone, and it does say R, but this could just be a simple mistake. Deletion would be fine with me, but I should point out that we actually have an article for an unrelated James R. Kirk. Maybe retarget? -- Ned Scott 08:05, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Retargeting would be a great idea. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 10:53, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Lisa Druck → Story of My Life (novel)

The result of the debate was Retarget to Rielle Hunter. Lenticel ^(talk) 23:33, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Lisa Druck is a living person, the redirect is to a work of fiction, a novel that the author states was inspired by Lisa Druck. A novel inspired by someone is the author's personal spin on a person, and a fictional treatment. The novel is about a coke-addled booze guzzling floozy. Novels do not have the same guidelines as Wikipedia's biographies of living persons; this redirect violates the "Do No Harm" policy on living people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Macduff (talk • contribs) 14:56, 4 August 2008 (UTC) *Delete for BLP reasons. We should consider removing the names from the article as well. Terraxos (talk) 02:49, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. The redirect should be edited to point to Rielle Hunter, not the fictional work. The Rielle Hunter article would have to be written. Rielle Hunter, née Lisa Druck, is a woman who has apparently gained some level of notoriety on the coattails of a political scandal. Binksternet (talk) 03:47, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
• Redirect to either Rielle Hunter or John Edwards extramarital affair. Kelly ^hi! 22:04, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. The redirect now points to Rielle Hunter. AdamKesher (talk) 23:07, 8 August 2008)
• Opinion changed to Keep. Now that there is consensus to have an article on Rielle Hunter, I don't see what additional harm is done by having this name redirect there. Terraxos (talk) 03:01, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
