Talk:Do not want!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What is the purpose of this page? --DakAD 04:34, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

It's a redirect page, my friend. [1] Serious Business 05:08, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

OK. What I meant was: what is the point of redirecting a page that is not linked to at all from within wikipedia, to an article that seemingly has nothing at all to do with the name of this page?

I is confused --DakAD 05:33, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Someone might come looking for it. I did. Serious Business 05:35, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

OK, fair enough, it just seemed highly odd. out of curiosity, whats the link between 'do not want!' and starwars? --DakAD 05:40, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

I gave you a link up there. This really awful sub of Star Wars. It was a kind of hip little internet thing awhile back. Fun was had by all. Serious Business 05:41, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Honestly this is a terrible redirect. It should be changed to an article about the sub, redirected to a page that mentions the sub, or deleted. People looking for "Do not want" in reference to other topics would be confused by the nearly unexplained redirect to Star Wars. It needs to be made relevent or deleted.

One option would be to add a brief description of this at Internet phenomenon and have the redirect point to that instead. Jokermage ^{"Timor Mentum Occidit"} 07:13, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Honestly? If someone comes here looking for "Do not want!" with the exclamation point on the end like that, they're looking for this. That's why I put the exclamation point on the end so that it wouldn't bollocks up the search.

But I guess you guys have already decided to delete it anyway. So, do as you wish. Serious Business 00:08, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

• Honestly, I came here simpy by following a few links after a search for various unique things at [2]. It took me quite awhile to understand how this could possibly be a redirect to Star Wars. Jokermage's idea makes sense for several reasons.Pattersonc 03:36, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Re:But I guess you guys have already decided to delete it anyway. So, do as you wish. I presented some alternatives to deletion. I was hoping that you'd at least consider them before abandoning all discussion. My main point still stands. This redirect needs to have it's relevance pointed out somewhere other than this talk page. Jokermage ^{"Timor Mentum Occidit"} 08:28, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

If I wanted to do all that crap I would have done it in the first place. It's not like I made the redirect page so I could sit here and wait for someone to come along and tell me how terrible it was. Internet : Serious Business 01:32, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect

• No offense to Serious Business, but if someone already knows what "Do not want!" refers too then why would they need a redirect to Star Wars. I hope you see the logic in that and don't take it as a personal offense. The new redirect links it to other such phenomenom and explain what the term means. I made the appropriate links to the Star Wars page, added a brief explanation, and added the link you provided in this discussion with furthur details and screenshots.
• I have made the redirect and updated Internet phenomenon with the appropriate information, though it may need to be cleaned up somehwat.
