• The Sea Capital → Varna, Bulgaria  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Varna is indeed seen as a "maritime capital" of Bulgaria, but – even allowing for the fact that such descriptions may not be as common elsewhere – it's still odd to have such a general term redirect to one specific place. – Uanfala (talk) 15:50, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Consistent page views across the years, and plenty of Google hits for The Sea Capital which bring up Bulgaria-related pages. Also, it's not clear under what criteria this has been nominated for deletion. Jay (talk) 18:52, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry, I thought it was commonly known. Generally, it's bad to have terms with broad reference redirecting to articles about specific instances. This has the potential to mislead readers into thinking, in this case, that the only sea capital is the Bulgarian one. – Uanfala (talk) 22:13, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Which of the points under Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion#Reasons_for_deleting would that be? Jay (talk) 18:40, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Technically, point 2. Not sure I agree that it should be deleted, but creating reader confusion is definitely an acceptable reason for deletion. Tamwin (talk) 19:30, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • Point 2 is about confusion definitely, but not the kind nom was referring to which is General term > Specific article. However, in case if #2 is the reason, then I would say Disambig the page if there is another candidate that claims to be the sea capital. Jay (talk) 19:56, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

          The only other claimants to the title I can find are an investment company and a hotel; neither seems notable. Certes (talk) 20:32, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

          When I search on Google Books, I find all sorts of places referred to like that, such as St. Petersburg [1] and Tyre [2] – Uanfala (talk) 00:15, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

          I tried the two links, one took me to International Scientific Conference Energy Management of Municipal Facilities and Sustainable Energy Technologies EMMFT 2019, and the other gave an error from Google Books - No results in this book for "the sea capital of". However, if you were referring to Saint Petersburg, Russia and Tyre, Lebanon, then there is no mention of sea capital in the articles. Jay (talk) 05:24, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

          The first book, p. 400: "Throughout the history, the brand 'Sea Capital of Russia' is actively formed and supported in St. Petersburg.". The second book, p. 13: "Tyre had grown in importance until it was the sea capital of the world".
          My point was not that any of those two particular places should be mentioned as a "sea capital". My point was that the term has been used for a variety of places besides Varna (as made clear by even the most cursory look on Google Books). – Uanfala (talk) 14:13, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

          Agree that Saint Petersburg is a suitable candidate for "Sea Capital of Russia". Tyre as a candidate, not so much. For the generic "Sea Capital" Google still prefers Varna. We can revisit this Rfd for a DAB in future when the target artcles Varna and Saint Petersburg mention them respectively as the sea capital. Jay (talk) 05:22, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

          Well, I see roughly equal number of hits on Google (c. 120 actual results) for both Varna and St. Petersburg [3] [4]. Otherwise, yes: neither article mentions the exact phrase "sea capital", though Varna, Bulgaria does note the city is perceived as a "maritime capital". I don't think dabifying will be viable due to the vague nature of the term and the broad set of the applicable targets (the two cities above were just examples). – Uanfala (talk) 01:34, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep searching for "Sea capital" on google brings up mainly partial title matches for non-notable financial institutions. For actual places, Varna is the clear primary topic - I didn't get any hits for St Petersburg or Tyre, but I did get 1 each for Tallinn and Stockholm. I agree that disambiguation is unlikely to be viable here, but I do think a set index for places named/nicknamed "sea capital" or "maritime capital" (the latter title seems to be most frequently applied to Singapore and Rotterdam about equally with less frequent occurrences of London and Dubai) along the lines of Paris of the North would work.

• Weak keep: Little-used (though not completely unused), but the WP:UNNATURAL rationale rings false. A comma in an article title with a comma in it is different to a full stop ending an article title that doesn't; I can confirm myself that accidentally hitting enter after typing a comma is not infrequent. For a very long name like that, it's a believable redirect. Vaticidalprophet 17:29, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. This redirect that is a portion of the target page title is still WP:UNNATURAL. Mdewman6 (talk) 03:00, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. WP:UNNATURAL is inapplicable. It applies to "Titles with punctuation, obscure errors, additions, or removals that have no specific affinity to one title over any other" (emphasis added). Here, the punctuation has affinity to this article because it is part of the full article title. Tamwin (talk) 19:27, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Arguing over the applicability of an essay is unlikely to bear much fruit.

• Wikipedia:WikiProject Afar translation → incubator:Wp/aa  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Cross project redirect that takes editors searching for a wikiproject to a dead wiki in the incubator. I think this is an inappropriate redirect for 4 main reasons:

1. The target is not a wikiproject, or anything related to the English encyclopaedia for that matter.
2. As we recently saw with the scots wiki controversy often the last thing these small encyclopaedias need is an influx of well intentioned English speakers trying to translate content into another language. This project needs an active community of native speakers to get started.
3. We don't make this style of redirects for any other language projects, so this is more likely to surprise editors than help them.
4. The project is dead, it had only 7 pages when closed in 2007, none written by a native speaker, and currently has 21 pages, most of which contain a single word or single sentences. There is no benefit to the English Wikipedia arising from our editors being sent there. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 17:04, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. (I suddenly go from bleeding heart inclusionist-delusionist to chainsaw-wielding deletionist when the issue is microprojects.) Well aside from the fact this blatantly isn't what people are searching for, even if someone follows that link, as 86 so eloquently notes, the most likely outcome is bad for all parties. Projects lacking native speakers rapidly turn into embarrassments or even wide-ranging dangers to the stability of the language (scowiki was literally in Scots machine learning corpuses, lest we forget).
