List of several redirects which their targets have a name and the redirect seems to not be an alternative name for the target. Steel1943 (talk) 22:20, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unnamed TBS Counter-Strike: Global Offensive league, it was created before the name "Eleague" was unveiled and as customary procedure for these things the ad hoc original title is deleted. I'm neutral on the other ones but note that in the future the redirects could become WP:XY--Prisencolin (talk) 23:17, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A greeting in Sinhalese redirecting to Greeting. To my knowledge there's nothing particularly Sri Lankan in the general topic of greeting so I suggest deleting per WP:RFOREIGN. Uanfala (talk) 22:20, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have absolutely no recollection of creating this, and can't imagine why I would. bd2412T 22:31, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
@BD2412: Does that mean you are okay with this being deleted per WP:G7? Steel1943 (talk) 22:47, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No objection whatsoever. I'm guessing - and this is just a guess - that it was a redlink in an article somewhere, and that I created the redirect to resolve the redlink, and then the term got unlinked (or retargeted to Wiktionary, which would be more important for a dicdef usage). bd2412T 00:53, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Delete per nom. Every team and band is unnamed at some point in their existence. That this occurred in 1968 makes it an unlikely search term. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:27, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 15:24, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This redirect is ambiguous since it does not refer to what unnamed project this redirect refers to. This redirect was created as an article back in 2007, but at some point, was redirected to the series article as shown here. Disclaimer: As someone who knows a bit about the series, the series has had several "unnamed" or "untitled" projects during the last decade, probably to build buyer excitement (or disappointment) for the still unreleased Kingdom Hearts III. Steel1943 (talk) 22:06, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple issues - term doesn't appear in target article, nor does it appear to be actually used as a term per either the article or per Google; "Grand Cross" seems to be much more common, so I can't imagine it being a valid search term. MSJapan (talk) 23:31, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, Grand Collar is used multiple times in the article...I counted 11 times. The fact that "Grand Cross" is more common is irrelevant. --Tavix(talk) 19:32, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sliding doors

The result of the discussion was keep. --BDD (talk) 15:21, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Odd scenario here, so here's a discussion. Should this term refer to the plural of Sliding door or an alternative capitalization of Sliding Doors? This redirect gets about 15–20 views a day, whereas the film article Sliding Doors gets about 1000 views a day. So, most likely if a reader is looking up "sliding doors" with a lowercase "d", they are not trying to locate the film. But, then again, is there a WP:DIFFCAPS issue with the film article's title Sliding Doors? (There's a lot going on here, and it all seems to originate from the confusion presented by the nominated redirect.) Steel1943 (talk) 21:03, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. "What links here" shows the term being used for the plural and none for the film so the dab page would suffice. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:43, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment from nominator: My ultimate question with this nomination is "Does a disambiguation page need to be created over the redirect because the two subjects Sliding door and Sliding Doors could be confused for one another per WP:DIFFCAPS?" Steel1943 (talk) 22:09, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Still WP:PLURALPT. Even if there was a disambiguation page, it would be at the "Foo (disambiguation)" title, and the lowercase plural would continue to point to the kind of door. bd2412T 00:54, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Delete - The target neither explains the particular term nor even mentions it at all. Really, this should just be trashed. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 05:47, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as plausible neologism and as per nom --Lenticel(talk) 05:50, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 15:20, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The name variant and extended topic phrasing of these titles makes them improbable to occur with this misspelling during searches which leads to implausibility. —Godsy(TALKCONT) 04:21, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - We don't have a specific article about criticism and controversies related to Clinton that discusses different ones in the same page. There's 'Hillary Clinton e-mail controversy', 'Hillary Clinton cattle futures controversy', et cetera but no general criticism page for her. I don't think that such a page would be a particularly good idea anyways. For the other redirect, it's just too clunky, and I question whether keeping it is helpful at all. I do want to note that if some better worded redirect such as 'Cultural depictions of Hillary Clinton' or something like that comes along, then we could just go to 'Hillary_Clinton#Cultural_and_political_image'. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 05:56, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@CoffeeWithMarkets: I didn't make it clear before, but all that along with the misspelling of "Hillary" as "Hilary", is the reason I nominated these. I've amended above.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 07:07, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep we did have Hillary Rodham Clinton controversies and Cultural matters related to Hillary Rodham Clinton for some time. Neither redirect is new or harmful. Nothing to be gained and a little to loose by deleting them. All the best: RichFarmbrough, 06:35, 1 June 2016 (UTC).[reply]
Delete This would set a precedent for "Cultural matters related to (person)" of which only Hillary Clinton has a link for. As for controversies, the existing format of "(person) (type of contoversy) controversy" seems to work fine. It doesn't need a generic page of controversies unless there's a fully developed article listing them. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:19, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirects don't set precedent. All the best: RichFarmbrough, 22:54, 3 June 2016 (UTC).[reply]
Yes and no. Precedents don't have a formal role in most of the project (though note that WP:RFDO could easily be added to that page). But almost anything can start a precedent. For this, or anything, to start one, an editor would only need to cite it in a related argument. So it's not true that if we do X, we're automatically setting a precedent, but neither is it true that we can do X and insist that it never will be one. That said, I did just assert the latter the other day. --BDD (talk) 16:50, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 15:18, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think this redirect should be deleted. It replaced an article trying coin or popularize the abbreviation "isab" to mean "I smiled a bit." I can find no evidence on Google that anyone actually uses this abbreviation. The initial article should have been deleted. People may be searching Wikipedia for "ISAB" due to recent news articles about the International Security Advisory Board and confusingly winding up at "Internet slang." That's how I found it. -driver8 (talk) 19:24, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nominator. Isab is not mentioned at the target. We have an article about one thing whose lede says it's called ISAB (Ionospheric absorption), but ISAB is red and doesn't redirect there (and personally I don't think it should, roughly per WP:ONEBLUELINKDAB). Search results are the best thing we can offer readers at this point until we get more articles created. 210.6.254.106 (talk) 03:42, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless someone wants to update United States Department of State to include the mention of this board. Even then it would be the caps version. No notable people named Isab at the moment. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:43, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think I've ever known anyone to spell "Castle" as "Kastle", I appreciate some may not be able to spell but the moment you search "Bouncy" - "Bouncy castle" then appears, And I'd imagine most people in the world would (or atleast should) know how to spell "Castle", so all in all I fail to see how this is of any use, As always I'm always happy to withdraw, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 17:20, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The redirect doesn't seem to be an alternate or likely make for the target article. (If search engines return a connection between the redirect and the target article, it is most likely because of Wikipedia mirrors saving the connection since the redirect has existed since 2004.)

The result of the discussion was no consensus. --BDD (talk) 15:15, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Per the redirect's target article, it seems that the target subject has been known as "...the only predominantly Baptist state in the world..." as cited by a reference, but I'm not sure if that warrants the nominated WP:NPOV-violating redirect (unless this is an official term for the target article's subject.) Steel1943 (talk) 17:15, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This doesn't seem like a POV redirect; it concerns a objective demographic attribute, which is correct and referenced. -- Beland (talk) 19:55, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Unless repeatedly sourced, I object to any redirect using "the most X in the world" or "the most X ever". Bataaf van Oranje (Prinsgezinde) (talk) 21:05, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: is "most baptist" necessarily the same as "highest proportion of baptists"? I'm not sure that that's at all obvious, and if we are going by absolute population then Texas has approximately ten times as many Baptists as Nagaland. I'm also not at all sure that someone looking for the most baptist state in the world would obviously be interested in subnational states rather than nation-states. For both of these reasons, the redirect is potentially confusing. It's not POV, but nor is it helpful. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 11:14, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep is used by reliables sources to refer to Nagaland and not just in the "it's pretty Baptist" sense but as an alternative name (see: [1], [2], [3]). ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 22:58, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In Special:Diff/723132940, K.e.coffman (talk·contribs) blanked the redirect with the edit summary Redirect not useful, and the user later moved the redirect to the draft namespace. We don't blank inappropriate redirects or move them to another namespace, so I reverted these actions. However, if the allegation that the redirect isn't useful is correct, then the redirect should be retargeted[where?] or deleted. Stefan2 (talk) 10:40, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Generally, the word Reich means empire, but generally refers to Nazi office, as they put the word Reich on everything. Although, reich can refer to earlier German empire that came before World War 1. Perhaps a target at List of German economics ministers, which includes both German Empire and Nazi entries? Oiyarbepsy (talk) 13:37, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The history section, pertaining to Reichswirtschaftsministerium contains only: "The historical predecessor of the current Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy was the Reichswirtschaftsamt (Reich Economic Office), founded in 1917. In 1919, this became the Reichswirtschaftsministerium (Reich Ministry of Economy), which existed until 1945." The de.wiki article option is superior in this regard (please see my comment below). K.e.coffman (talk) 20:58, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: the reason that I made the edit that lead to this discussion was that I was trying to use the template ((illm|Reich Ministry of Economics|de|Reichswirtschaftsministerium)), to direct the readers to Reichswirtschaftsministerium on the German wiki, and instead was getting a redirect to the subsequent, 1949+, agency on the English wiki. I think it would be more helpful to readers to see the de.wiki article (one can always use Google translate), vs the current solution. K.e.coffman (talk) 20:48, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
We don't redirect users to other language editions of Wikipedia. --Stefan2 (talk) 00:17, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
My suggestion is to delete the existing redirect (i.e. no article by this name), so that the inter-language template can be used as needed, and encourage editors to create an article. Same suggestion applies to the Reich Economics Ministry. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:37, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but encourage article creation. Since "Reichswirtschaftsministerium (Reich Ministry of Economy)" is discussed in the target article, it's useful to have the redirect. An interwiki link can still be used in articles by direct link inclusion (de:Reichswirtschaftsministerium) if we want to do so in particular articles. Deryck C. 16:48, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak retarget to Education since Teaching redirects there. Otherwise, delete as vague and ambiguous. Steel1943 (talk) 17:38, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to school of thought per Abductive. Probably a better target since teachings in the plural usually refers to the collected lessons of some figure. This gets 121 views over the last 90 days, so it does see use. If "school of thought" isn't good enough, soft redirect to Wiktionary. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 23:04, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I created the redirect because 'Oz rock' was a term used by friends in Australia but which I could not find on Wikipedia. To me it makes sense to include a term that is used commonly but which is already described under another page. Richard Stephens (talk) 13:32, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
