 * An RFD for a redirect? Seriously? – Adrignola talk 12:07, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Why not? In Wikipedia, RFD stands for Redirects for Deletion. :) Kayau ( talk &#124; email &#124; contribs ) 13:52, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess since its been brought up, I'll bite. I think the book should not of been renamed like it was. "Tomato (firmware)" is a Wikipedia convention that isn't used at Wikibooks, and might perhaps even be against policy. The book should be moved back to the "Tomato Firmware" title. The decision to move also appears to be based on discussion that happened at Wikipedia which might also be a problem. --dark lama  14:24, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I think even Tomato will work, because we don't have a book about tomatoes. Yet. Kayau ( talk &#124; email &#124; contribs ) 14:34, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Could I just chime in - there are a lot of disorganised links to 'Tomato Firmware' on static pages. If we delete the page people will be lost. As it is, the page is quite confusing without the automatic redirect. 121.45.253.46 (talk) 15:40, 2 August 2010 (UTC)


 * The book should be renamed back to Tomato Firmware, per darklama. The current title is not a book-style title.  IMHO Tomato is needlessly ambiguous.  The Wikipedia article settled on Tomato (firmware) in 2006 on the grounds that it was a Wikipedia-style article name, with Tomato Firmware as the runner-up on the grounds that it was the name used on the project main page.  There was apparently no consensus discussion about renaming the wikibook (not even an out-of-order one at the WP article).
 * Re deleting redirects, IIRC it's been suggested that while subpage redirects are generally eliminable (though it's been suggested they be left for a week or more until search engines have caught up with the new arrangement), top-level redirects tend to be kept around indefinitely. --Pi zero (talk) 16:58, 2 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I also don't see a good justification for the rename. The reason stated on the comment "Moving to maintain naming consistency with Wikipedia article, as per discussion on Wikipedia Tomato (firmware) Talkpage." should have ringed some bells, a discussion at Wikipedia doesn't validate any decision here, and I didn't find any reference to it on the book's talk page.
 * I took the chance also to look to the user (that moved the work) contribution history in Wikibooks, the move ought to have been challenged. The problem seems that most contributors to that work are not registered Wikibookians. By these facts and the opinions expressed on this discussion the move should be reverted. --Panic (talk) 05:53, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
