[edit] Academy of Medicine

Page points to stub on the French institution; considering that the articles which point to the page suggest that the intended target is an American institution, for which a page does not exist at the moment. Folajimi 18:25, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment This should probably be listed at Redirects for Deletion, where I would vote speedy keep, since it is the English name of a notable French org. Youngamerican 18:45, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Fair enough. Considering the literal translation that you have alluded to, perhaps it would be more useful to make it a disambiguation page instead? Just a thought... Folajimi 18:51, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Actually, that probably is not a viable option, as that is the name of the institution in Atlanta, Georgia. You can confirm this for yourself at http://www.academyofmedicine.com/. If you see any qualifiers for the name, please let me know. Folajimi 01:46, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I can't find any evidence this English term is ever used for the French organization it currently redirects to. If someone is interested enough to write up an article about the Atlanta, Georgia historical site of the same name (and can demonstrate some notability) I might support a keep.--Isotope23 17:31, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Seeing that I have yet to submit an actual vote, I shall do that now: "I support giving the page the deep six." While I might eventually write a stub for the historical location, I shall refrain from committing myself at this time. Folajimi 21:21, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep the english version got redirected to the french article Académie Nationale de Médecine. This is a real institution [1] worth keeping. Elfguy 13:48, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Just out of curiosity, why all the fuss about deleting a page that simply serves as a redirect??? Perhaps there are technical aspects/mechanics of Wikipedia that I need to be apprised of? Folajimi^(talk)
• send to WP:RFD. This is actually an inappropriate/confusing redirect and should be handled with at RFD and not here. Peyna 20:30, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Done Thanks for providing detailed instructions about the proper course of action. Cheers. Folajimi^(talk)
