This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page or, if the page was deleted, in the Senate Hall rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was Keep. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 03:00, June 19, 2014 (UTC)

'N Sync (talk - history - links - logs - delete - protect)

Ok, I was hitting the random links page and came across this page. I can't see anyone looking here specifically for 'N Sync, and when i DO search for "N Sync" (without the first apostraphe), the first result is the attack of the clones page. I can't see any reason why this redirect has to stay, so I added a delete tag. Tope pointed out the previous TC did not mention the redirect's deletion and that i should take it here.

  1. Redirects are harmless. JangFett (Talk) 15:54, June 4, 2014 (UTC)
    • The "harmless" surely has a limit no? Otherwise, we'd have redirects for every mispelling. Winterz (talk) 19:22, June 4, 2014 (UTC)
  2. I can absolutely see people potentially coming here to find out what the deal was with 'N Sync. Lucasfilm confirmed that the band members were seriously going to have cameos in the film, but then LFL decided to cut them because of the tremendous fan backlash. In this case, a redirect serves a worthy purpose. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 21:38, June 4, 2014 (UTC)
  3. N'Sync in Star Wars? uwotm8. But yeah, I guess if they were involved in the /project/ per se, they're worthy of a mention, even if it's currently just a redirect to the article that should have something on this issue. Winterz (talk) 22:57, June 4, 2014 (UTC)
  4. It's harmless, and a legitimate search term. Supreme Emperor (talk) 23:00, June 4, 2014 (UTC)

  6. Per Tope. I'd be OK with keeping this as an article (Bai Ling and Declan Mulholland get theirs...of course they're visible and recognizable in officially released deleted scenes.) —Silly Dan (talk) 23:10, June 4, 2014 (UTC)
    • It was originally an article, as you may remember, but it got deleted. KEJ (talk) 23:56, June 10, 2014 (UTC)
  7. Keep as a redirect, but redirect to Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones#Filming, as that is where the N'Sync info is located in the Bts. Trip391 (talk) 01:30, June 5, 2014 (UTC)
  8. Per Trip, and my own comment in the discussion section of the previous TC.

  12. Changed my vote based on aforementioned arguments. And to be completely honest, I never cared much either way and only voted delete so I could say "Bye Bye Bye." >.> - Brandon Rhea(talk) 00:02, June 11, 2014 (UTC)

  • For those saying we need it if people look for it, I just did a google search for "N Sync star wars" and the Attack of the clones page on the wook was the first result, followed by the same page on the normal wiki. Same results when I added the opening apostraphe. It seems only when you search "N Sync" or "'N Sync" at the search bar here that it appears as a result, again followed by the attack of the clones page. The only page that link to it are the TCs, JSarek's userpage, so no mainspace pages link there. So for those searching for it, they are being directed to the right place anyway.
