List of Shopping malls in Thailand[edit]

This was redirected to List of shopping malls, hypermarkets and department stores in Thailand, but consensus seems to be that that was too much like a trade directory (and there's no precedent for it in anything similar). So I've pruned a lot of that and moved it to List of shopping malls in Thailand (different capitalisation), and this redirect isn't needed any more.

I've just re-read this and I realise I didn't explain it very clearly (I note the Speedy Close comment below, and it seems sensible to go to Redirects for discussion, but I'll explain here to keep it all in one place - and can copy over there later).

What I've effectively done is mess up an attempt to reverse a previous page move. It appears that in the beginning, there was a page called List of Shopping malls in Thailand (with a capital S). Over time that also accumulated dept stores, hypermarkets, etc, and was then moved to List of shopping malls, hypermarkets and department stores in Thailand, turning List of Shopping malls in Thailand into a redirect. That has no real precedent, and the consensus seems to be that the resulting unwieldy list was a mistake, so I removed all the unwanted dept stores etc. But then, which I think was my mistake, I moved List of shopping malls, hypermarkets and department stores in Thailand to List of shopping malls in Thailand (with a small s - I hadn't spotted the big S version at that time), creating another redirect. So now List of Shopping malls in Thailand redirects to List of shopping malls, hypermarkets and department stores in Thailand which in turn redirects to List of shopping malls in Thailand. I *think* that deleting the first two (the two redirect pages) will solve the problem, or maybe just remove the intermediate redirect? Boing! said Zebedee 17:29, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't mess up the page move. This was a different page with a separate history from the beginning. No real need for deletion (via whatever route), since redirects are cheap; just fix the double redirect. --Paul_012 ^(talk) 06:26, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, yes, thanks - I see it was a separate page all along, and just a double-redirect to sort out. Boing! said Zebedee 12:56, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy close, this belongs at Redirects for discussion. Nyttend (talk) 16:23, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural close it's a redirect, this is articles for deletion. Further, a bot corrects double redirects anyways. 70.29.210.242 (talk) 06:21, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural close. It was me who requested this, and I accept this was the wrong avenue and there's no AfD issue (and thanks for the explanation - I've now learned more about Wikipedia). I'm happy to leave it to the bot, or do it manually if that doesn't happen. As the originator, can I request a speedy close of this? Boing! said Zebedee 12:56, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
