Legacy
I need to move Legacy (format) here, without losing the history (as Legacy redirects there anyway). In the past I moved some articles "manually" but their history were lost when the first page was deleted. This is probably a bad thing, hence my request. Oracle of Truth 12:13, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
- While we are at it, Standard, Extended and Vintage probably need the same treatment. Oracle of Truth 14:36, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure I understand what you are asking? Move the Legacy (format) to Legacy while retaining the history for Legacy? or for Legacy (format)? --GeoMike 15:15, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I'd like to move Legacy (format) to Legacy. Unfortunately this is not possible since Legacy was edited several times. If Legacy was deleted then we could move Legacy (format) along with its history. Now Legacy (format) would be save to delete later on since all the revisions went to Legacy. I hope this clears things up :) . Oracle of Truth 15:26, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for clarifying what you wanted to do, I deleted all 4 and moved the respective pages to occupy what was deleted. --GeoMike 01:04, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks :) . Oracle of Truth 07:46, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Various
I have tagged a number of redirects that are imo unnecessary, either because they contain typos (meaning speedy delete), or because they are unlikely to be searched for (such as "Sisay, Captain of the Weatherlight"). This should take care of the majority of our double redirects. The book-related ones may still have links pointing to them. I'll correct them the next couple of days. Oracle of Truth 00:55, 8 May 2008 (BST)
- And I thank you for not listing all of them - that would have been a long list, thanks for all your work in spotting them and taking care of the book renamings. --GeoMike 01:36, 8 May 2008 (BST)
- Speedily deleted most - some had pages that were linked to them and shouldn't be deleted until those pages were fixed. --GeoMike 03:39, 8 May 2008 (BST)
- Phew, I think I have corrected all those links. Oracle of Truth 13:51, 8 May 2008 (BST)
- Result: Deleted all requested --GeoMike 00:46, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Delete:Joe Foss
Biography about an unknown person, no search results link to this person. As far as I know it is a made up name or some user. --GeoMike 15:38, 26 April 2008 (BST)
- Result: Deleted --GeoMike 05:14, 27 April 2008 (BST)

Delete:Template:Arcanaref2
Nomination: Superseded by Arcref (see User talk:Magic Mage/Templates). Oracle of Truth 01:09, 20 April 2008 (BST)
Result: Deleted per user's request. --GeoMike 11:37, 24 April 2008 (BST)

Delete: image:Rhys2.JPG
Sry, forgot to nominate. Should be deleted because it's a duplicate. Oracle of Truth 23:51, 11 April 2008 (BST)
Result: Deleted per user's request. --GeoMike 00:46, 15 April 2008 (BST)
Delete: template:Setlinks
Apparently this does not work with parameters. This is a bug that has been around for a while, so I'll make templates for individual blocks instead. Oracle of Truth 16:50, 12 April 2008 (BST)
Result: Deleted per user's request. --GeoMike 00:46, 15 April 2008 (BST)
April 9, 2008
Delete: Accumulated Knowledge (card)
Nomination: I really don't see any use for this stub of a page. --GeoMike 02:25, 10 April 2008 (BST)
Result: Delete - stub of a page with no information beyond what a card link would provide. --GeoMike 11:35, 24 April 2008 (BST)
Delete:Lotus Bloom (card)
Nomination: This card can be mentioned on the Black Lotus page, no reason for it to have its own page for such little information. --GeoMike 17:10, 10 April 2008 (BST)
- Result: 2 for delete, so deleted --GeoMike 21:29, 26 April 2008 (BST)
April 4, 2008
Delete: Magic:The Gathering
Nomination: typo, missing a space. Oracle of Truth 02:48, 4 April 2008 (BST)
- Support, but not as per nominator's reason, but because there are too many redirects, and this one's unnecessary. "Missing a space" or "typo (missing a space)" isn't a reason, by the way; and, as this is a redirect, it's okay to have typos, otherwise there wouldn't be a point to redirects. You may wish to consider the rationale for deletion. =) MM (talk!) 08:05, 4 April 2008 (BST)
- You mean, except for the fact that being a typo has been a reason for speedy delete without any voting (see archives and below). Oracle of Truth 12:53, 4 April 2008 (BST)
- I restored the original text which I think I accidentally deleted myself. This was originally a redirect to a cagegory. The game should have its own page and the category was deleted. Everything that was categorized to that category has been recategorized to a new category. --GeoMike 21:39, 4 April 2008 (BST)
- Actually you did not delete it, Magic:The Gathering is now a duplicate of Magic: The Gathering. Oracle of Truth 22:10, 4 April 2008 (BST)
- As for the category, I weren't you merging it with category:The Game of Magic recently? Oracle of Truth 22:14, 4 April 2008 (BST)
- Yes the category got merged with category:The Game of Magic then the category:Magic The Gathering was deleted, but I accidentally deleted the text on Magic: The Gathering also. --GeoMike 23:47, 4 April 2008 (BST)
- I finally realized that this one was missing a space - so deleted it. --GeoMike 02:28, 7 April 2008 (BST)

Everything that was categorized to that category has been recategorized to a new category. --GeoMike 21:39, 4 April 2008 (BST)
Result: Deleted. Didn't think this was a good redirect, who is going to search for it with it missing a space? --GeoMike 22:41, 11 April 2008 (BST)
Delete: Magic the Gathering
Nomination: typo, missing colon. Oracle of Truth 02:51, 4 April 2008 (BST)
- Oppose: Typo-redirects tend to have a purpose. If this were a page, you'd think about moving it, wouldn't you? Before proposing the deletion of certain articles, consider it seriously; when nominating the deletion of redirects, also mull over that. MM (talk!) 08:05, 4 April 2008 (BST)
- I cannot agree with that, Wikipedia strongly opposes typo redirects, and in the past we have deleted a bunch of those, when all links have been changed. There are "soft redirects" for frequent typos though. In this case there were no links to that to begin with. Oracle of Truth 12:52, 4 April 2008 (BST)
- I kind of think we should keep this one. I don't know how it will look if someone searches for Magic The Gathering. Would the correct page pop up or not. --GeoMike 02:30, 7 April 2008 (BST)
Result: Keep this redirect.
March 30, 2008
Delete: A bunch of pics
Nominations: I have tagged a bunch of unused duplicate images, please see below. Oracle of Truth 19:26, 30 March 2008 (BST)
Result: Speedily deleted tagged duplicate images --GeoMike 19:57, 30 March 2008 (BST)
March 25, 2008
Delete: Morgan, Thelonite Druid
Nomination: — Didn't realise this created when I created Morgan off the numberous red links to him. There no pages pointing to this page including the prior versions before I messed with them. As such it's a a duplicate article with far less information and a bizzarre title. per User: Cashew
- Just remove the text from this article, and move "Morgan" to it. --MORT (T) 21:32, 25 March 2008 (GMT)
Result: — Redirect created from Morgan to Morgan, Thelonite Druid. --GeoMike 12:23, 26 March 2008 (GMT)
March 19, 2008
Delete: Farrel's Mantle
Nomination: — Not much more information here could be expanded on. This information is already put just as well in Oliver Farrel, Tev Loneglade, and Sianna. No further merging to be done, this could be straight up deleted. per User: Cashew
- I'd leave it as it is. It's might be short, but it's a distinctive object in Storyline, that even shouldn't be merged. It belongs to Artifacts category. --MORT (T) 21:30, 25 March 2008 (GMT)
- Farrel's Mantle was an enchantment on the card, seemed to be just merely an enchanted cloak. User: Cashew
- Oups! Right. Then I'd change the category to Category:Spells and Magics. --MORT (T) 12:18, 26 March 2008 (GMT)
- Farrel's Mantle was an enchantment on the card, seemed to be just merely an enchanted cloak. User: Cashew
Result: Changed category to Category:Spells and Magics. --GeoMike 12:21, 26 March 2008 (GMT)
March 17, 2008
Delete: Derelor
Nomination: Derelor is merely a type of Thrull. This article contains incorrect information on it's origin and merely recounts a single page from a comic page as an encounter. This should be merged into Thrull and/or Endrek Sahr and expanded on. (from User: Cashew) --GeoMike 01:10, 18 March 2008 (GMT)

Delete: Deca-millennial, Decamillenial
Nomination: These are typos and should be deleted. The former is not used anymore, the latter is still linked on a lot of pages though. Oracle of Truth 02:11, 11 March 2008 (GMT)
- Delete - I speedily deleted the first one since there was nothing linking to it, the other one though cannot be deleted until all of the pages linking to it are fixed. --GeoMike 10:51, 11 March 2008 (GMT)
- Done. Oracle of Truth 23:09, 11 March 2008 (GMT)

What is the difference between Category:The Game of Magic and Category:Magic: the Gathering? Can one be deleted and merged with the other? Why does Friday Night Magic have both categories? --GeoMike 13:15, 9 March 2008 (GMT)
- I think merging would be a good idea. I, for one, can see no difference. Oracle of Truth 17:28, 9 March 2008 (GMT)
- Good idea, used the Category:The Game of Magic so there would be no confusion with the Magic: The Gathering article and a category named such. --GeoMike 20:56, 9 March 2008 (GMT)

Merged the two categories into Category:The Game of Magic, changed Magic: The Gathering from a redirect into its own article.

Delete:Template:Infobox card
Nomination: Nothing in this template that can't be viewed using card tags. Might have been a good idea at one time, only used on 3 pages (out of how many magic cards? - and no we've pretty much shot down the idea of making an article for every single magic card). --GeoMike 03:11, 2 March 2008 (GMT)
- Agreed, it is unnecessary and Black Lotus and the basic lands are the best proof for that. Oracle of Truth 03:17, 2 March 2008 (GMT)

Delete:Searing Rays (card)
Nomination: There was a long discussion going on but in the end nothing was added to the article. Besides, there is more information in the autocard. The included image should also be deleted. Oracle of Truth 20:00, 28 February 2008 (GMT)
- Delete — I didn't like the idea of articles for every single card either. The autocard reference says more then enough on non-notable cards. --GeoMike 21:04, 28 February 2008 (GMT)

Delete: Three-guild_alliances
Nomination:I presented my arguments on the talk page. Oracle of Truth 02:48, 28 February 2008 (GMT).
- Delete - No articles link to this page besides the author's page. It is theory, not been expanded upon and like you said the thread is dead. --GeoMike 11:18, 28 February 2008 (GMT)
- Move&Delete — It's fanfiction and author put some work into it. I propose to delete this article, but first copy it to author's subpage (for example User:Polyjack/Three-guild alliances). --MORT (T) 19:54, 2 March 2008 (GMT)

Delete: Basetypes
Nomination: This article is problematic in several ways: The title is "Basetypes" while in the text it is referred to as "base type", the term is undefined in the CR and finally it overlaps with card types. Oracle of Truth 15:44, 20 February 2008 (GMT)
- Delete - I agree, I don't see what the difference is between base type and card type and think card type is more appropriate. --GeoMike 17:37, 20 February 2008 (GMT)
