Delete These are unused (15 views, or less, in a year) redirects that are associated with the now defunct name of "Xceed." Withdrawn

- Keep all. Having redirects from former names helps users find relevant articles, and deleting them would be counterproductive. In addition, the article was at Xceed Financial Credit Union until the nom moved it today and removed all mentions of Xerox from the article. That's WP:TROUT-worthy behavior. - Eureka Lott 21:18, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- Retarget
all 1 & 2 to Kinecta Federal Credit Union, to where Xceed Financial Credit Union now redirects. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:26, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Shhhnotsoloud: note that retargeting the 3rd one (as you propose) would create a cross-namespace redirect from Talk to main namespace. I have not nominated the :Xceed Financial Credit Union redirect since that redirect does have a purpose. SLV100 (talk) 14:05, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Fixed - thanks. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:19, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Keep all and undo the article move. Xceed was an entirely different org from Kinecta prior to the merge. I don't know what the motivation for expunging all mention of Xceed and its history from Wikipedia is, and don't want to start throwing around accusations of bad faith, but it looks highly suspicious on the face of it. I certainly agree with Shhhnotsoloud that this deserves a trout. SpinningSpark 19:38, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Spinningspark: How about asking for an Admin to WP:HISTSPLIT? And after the history split put the following templates at the beginning of :Xceed Financial Credit Union:
::{{tld|about|the defunct credit union, Xceed Financial Credit
Union, prior to its merger with Kinecta Federal Credit
Union||Xceed}}
::{{tld|short description|Defunct American credit union (1964–202
1)}}

::* I am an admin, so I can do the history split myself, but we need this discussion closed down first. Does this comment mean you are withdrawing the deletion nomination? SpinningSpark 21:47, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
:::*I have withdrawn the nom for #3. For 1 & 2 the ongoing discussion doesn't necessarily interfere with the history split.
::::* Yes, it does interfere. 1&2 are currently redirects to redirects which are not allowed. So what to do with them heavily depends on what we do about the article move. We just don't start moving articles around while there is an ongoing deletion debate. Honestly, I'm struggling to understand why you won't withdraw. If you now support the restoration of the Xceed article, then there is no reason not to have these redirects to it. SpinningSpark 13:18, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
:::::*@Spinningspark: OK, I have now completely withdrawn the nom. SLV100 (talk) 14:50, 6 December 2021 (UTC) P.S. You incorrectly attributed the earlier mention of trout. It was first brought up by Eureka Lott.
