This page is an archive of the discussion surrounding the proposed deletion of the page entitled Albert III, Elector of Saxony.
This page is kept as an historic record.
The result of the debate was to redirect the article to Albert, Duke of Saxony.
The text previous in this article was merged with Albert, Duke of Saxony since the person in question was duke and not elector, which is quite a difference. There is no one styled like this so there are no redirects to be made. As it is, its causing confusion in the already confusing successions of kings, grand dukes, dukes and electors of Saxony and its derivates. And, while we are at it, Albert III of Saxony, the redirect - again, there is no one named like this. MvHG 08:27, 22 May 2004 (UTC)
- Keep as redirs. I don't see the harm in keeping redirs like this--if one person looked for a certain different form of the name, others likely will. Niteowlneils 13:56, 22 May 2004 (UTC)
- Keep harmless redirects. (Just make sure they all redirect to the right title.) Rossami 03:19, 24 May 2004 (UTC)
- Hei!! Have you read what i said? There is not a single soul in History with this name. Redirecting an elector to a duke is about the same as Albert, King of Whatever to Albert President of Whatever. MvHG 10:35, 25 May 2004 (UTC)
- Here is an harmless redirect to enhance my point of view: Henry IX Pumpnickel, Duke of Pupkewitz MvHG 10:37, 25 May 2004 (UTC)
- Firstly, redirects should be listed at WP:RFD. Secondly, if you read the deletion policy, you'll see that "merge and delete" is not a valid option as it destroys page history, so the merged page should be kept as a redirect. Finally, please don't disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point, thanks. - Lee (talk) 15:00, 25 May 2004 (UTC)
- Instead of lecture me, try to read a history book and learn the diference between an elector and a duke. And before acusing me of disrupting wikipedia, which i take personal, go to my user page and calculate the percentage of disrupting articles amongst my contributions. That will keep you occupied for a while. MvHG 08:03, 26 May 2004 (UTC)

- Comment: I have now changed this to my best guesses about the appropriate redirects. Rossami 21:59, 26 May 2004 (UTC)
- If this is going to stay as a redirect, at least redirect it to an elector, not a duke. Thanks, MvHG 07:51, 27 May 2004 (UTC)
