• Z Street (Portland, Oregon) → Northwest District, Portland, Oregon#Z Street  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Redirect to a street that has never existed in Portland, Oregon. (When streets in Portland were given alphabetical names in 1891, what would have been Z street retained its existing name of Reed Street.)[1] No other alphabetical streets in Portland have articles or redirects. A Google search doesn't bring up any relevant results, so this is unlikely to be a common search term. This redirect was created to try and prevent Z Street being deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Z Street John B123 (talk) 19:44, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy close/administrative close This is attempt to split or bypass discussion in progress at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Z Street. User:John B123's has behaved badly, in my opinion, over several days relating to several disambiguation pages on "Z Street", "Y Street", etc., including accusing me of incivility for asking them at their Talk page to stop templating me and to accept having a central discussion. Their accusation here suggests they might believe that the existence of that redirect would somehow cause the AFD outcome to go differently is far-fetched. And everything there is above-board, no matter what John B123 might want to insinuate. Anyhow, allow the regular AFD process to continue. And John B123, please don't wp:CANVASS more here or elsewhere. --Doncram (talk) 21:08, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How else would you describe calling somebody a jerk on their talk page? As documented at the AfD discussion, the page was nominated as a disambiguation page that doesn't disambiguate any existing articles, your creation of a flimsy redirect is clearly an attempt to save the page. If by "behaved badly" you mean I nominated several disambiguation pages you created for G14 because they didn't comply with the guidelines then guilty as charged. Please stop bending the truth and as requested yesterday, stop these personal attacks. --John B123 (talk) 21:36, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• delete Leaving aside the bickering, the fact remains that the source being used by both sides of this argument doesn't actually support either the claim above or that made in the article. I'm having difficulty getting a good picture of the situation, but the one thing that no source I've found supports was that there was ever a Z Street. It's not even clear to me that the original lettered streets went beyond O Street. The fact that they were renamed 130 years ago, and that none of the streets appears to be notable in its own right, leads me to question any redirects to the Alphabet District for individual letter street names. Mangoe (talk) 22:43, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete The first few pages of my searches turn up a design agency and an apartment letting agency, along with a brief mention on a blog about how z street does not exist. This does not seem to be a common way to refer to Reed Street, and I don't think it's particularly plausible that readers will be searching for street names that don't actually exist. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 15:27, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I doubt anyone searching for information on why Z Street has never existed in Portland will type "Z Street" followed by the given parenthetical, so this is not a meaningful redirect for navigation purposes. Ultimately, while some article titles for non-existent members of a sequence or list might be worth a redirect to somewhere (Pope John XX comes to mind), this is not one of those. --Kinu ^t/_c 21:40, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment/Update. At Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Z Street which User:John B123 was trying to fight about, by expansion to other venues like here, it looks like the resolution is that it will be accepted that "Z Street" shall redirect to Street or road name#Z Street. I set that up, and redirected it already, and John B123 indicates there that is okay, except they maybe want to fight about my having redirected it already. About me calling them a jerk on their Talk page, I did not. I probably did say please don't be a jerk by continuing to template me. Due 50 percent to their incompetence with their editing tool, they were in the middle of applying 20 unnecessary sections and/or templates to my Talk page. The other 50 percent was due to being unwilling to stop and discuss principles/facts/whatever involved, when asked (or they should simply have known better). And then wanting to complain about civility.

About the redirect from Z Street (Portland, Oregon), I don't think anyone should care one whit. Redirects are cheap. This one is just like previously existing one Z Street (Washington, D.C.). No purpose served by deleting it. But I also don't care if it is deleted. What a waste of editor attention this is, brought on by one editor exhibiting wp:BATTLEGROUND behavior. --Doncram (talk) 22:53, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Alimena, Palermo, Sicily → Alimena  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This redirect was created in error by another editor, who carelessly made this slapdash redirect on one of the articles on my watchlist; he made it without even checking for the already-existing Alimena article, let alone how to properly format a geographical article title, and to top it off, he had originally redirected it to a completely wrong place (Pistoia, wtf) hundreds of miles away. No pages link to this misbegotten thing. It has no reason to exist. Please get rid of it! Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 19:01, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't quite understand the issue here. Regardless of the original target, it now redirects to Alimena.

• Bay of Eldamar → Valinor#Eldamar  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Extremely obscure search term. Not mentioned anywhere on Wikipedia as an obscure geographical feature of a non-notable location. Jontesta (talk) 18:52, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Nazi → Nazism  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Merriam-Webster and Oxford dictionary list the word "Nazi" as referring to the people that followed the movement rather than the ideology itself. [2][3]. I think that redirecting this to the ideology is a bad redirect. I am suggesting either changing the disambiguation page to just the word "Nazi" without "(disambiguation)" (requires an article move of the DAB also) or potentially creating a new article about the people that followed the ideology with a brief mentions of modern Nazism (Neo-Nazis). Or lastly, we can go the route of the redirect Soviet that leads to the former country of the Soviet Union by changing the target to Nazi Germany. What are your thoughts for this redirect? PyroFloe (talk) 16:15, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Move Nazi (disambiguation) to Nazi. This is a tough one, but I'd say that "Nazi" in isolation is at least as often used to refer to Nazi Germany, the Nazi Party or indeed Neo-Nazism as it is used to refer to Nazism, the ideology. Therefore, Nazi would be better suited as a disambiguation page in its own right. I'm opposed to creating a new article about "Nazis" as a group of people, as it would likely only duplicate Nazism and Neo-Nazism with no added value. Lennart97 (talk) 17:42, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as is given that we don't have an article on "people who are Nazis" - we only have Nazism - a redirect there makes the most sense. Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 17:54, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Elliot321: Are you sure that Nazism makes the most sense? Just for example: in the context of WW2 (which is arguably the most common context that the word Nazi is used in), when people talk about "the Nazis" or use "Nazi" as an adjective, they usually refer to the nation of Nazi Germany and the people who fought for it - not necessarily the ideology of Nazism and its adherents. I think that this alone is sufficient reason make Nazi a disambiguation page. Lennart97 (talk) 18:29, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I do think Nazism makes the most sense. Otherwise I could see an argument making it a topical page, since "Nazi" as a word is often used to describe people who are authoritarian in general - like Grammar Nazi. Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 18:31, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep this as it is per Elliot to be consistent with stuff like Capitalist, Communist, Fascist, and Socialist. Nazism makes the most sense as a redirect, as it can also refer to the movement, the ideology itself, among other things. Regards, SONIC⁶⁷⁸ 19:18, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quire sure if the analogy makes sense - none of the words Capitalist, Communist, Fascist or Socialist, in isolation, are ever used to refer to a specific nation, while Nazi is widely used to refer to the specific nation of Nazi Germany. Lennart97 (talk) 19:28, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Lennart97: Yes, it is true that none of those four terms refer to a specific nation, but as nouns or adjectives they can refer to anything associated with those ideologies-a believer, a movement, a nation, a policy, even the ideologies themselves. That's why I was using my analogy above (I didn't mean a specific nation, but rather the fact that they're potentially ambiguous). Does this answer your question? Regards, SONIC⁶⁷⁸ 22:53, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Sonic678: Thanks for the reply. It does and doesn't - it actually makes me wonder whether I'm getting my point across, so I hope you don't mind if I give that another try. Nazi differs from the other terms in that it is very specifically tied to the nation that is, at least in common speach, named for it: Nazi Germany. "The Capitalists" or "the Communists", even in the specific context of WW2, can't be used and aren't used to refer to specific nations and the same is true for e.g. "a Capitalist soldier/officer" or "a Communist soldier/officer" - we don't divide the fighting parties by ideology. However, "the Nazis", used in a general sense, will usually refer to the nation of Nazi Germany, and similarly, "a Nazi soldier" or "a Nazi officer" always refers to someone in the military of that nation, even though that doesn't necessarily mean that soldier or officer adheres to the Nazi ideology. So there's the difference, and what I think makes Nazi Germany as valid a target as Nazism and thus justifies a disambiguation page at Nazi. Sorry for the wall of text!

• Comment: I'm of two minds on this. Neither keeping nor deleting it seems to do very much harm. No articles link to it, so the only real impact of deleting it is that incoming external links will get a page not found error. Is that the best we can do for these readers? Maybe. The harm of keeping it seems even less. We have a policy of keeping redirects from page moves regardless of how inappropriate the original name was, but that assumes that there's some content there... exactly the question here. But the logic of keeping these redirects is to better serve the reader. Doesn't that apply here? Especially as it seems to be good topic that we hope to cover some day? So meantime, isn't it better to end up at the spoken language article rather than nothing? Interested to see how this one goes, it raises some interesting issues either way.

• John D. O'Brien → John O'Brien  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

A redirect to a DAB page on which no-one has the middle initial "D". He was a state senator, see 1997–1998 Massachusetts legislature. Delete to encourage article creation. Narky Blert (talk) 13:06, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to 1997–1998 Massachusetts legislature#Senators, and tag with "R with possibilities". This seems to be the only John D. O'Brien mentioned on Wikipedia, so retargeting in this way will allow people to at least find some information on him (i.e. what legislature he was a part of and what dates). 86.23.109.101 (talk) 16:05, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• List of borderless country → List of island countries  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

An ip bold change the redirect target to List of countries and territories by land borders. That ip was reported to ANI for related issue, but assume good faith on the change in redirect target anyway and I open this RfD instead. The redirect is similar to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of borderless countries BTW (closed as delete). Matthew hk (talk) 11:37, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: That ANI is irrelevant is it? Can you explain why you think that's relevant? Have you actually got any concrete, valid evidence that there have been off-site canvassing or meat/sock or hopping? 220.246.55.231 (talk) 15:59, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it is now relevant since you was blocked for more than a day exactly due to that ANI. Matthew hk (talk) 14:31, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to List of countries and territories by land borders. Borderless is not the same thing as Island, Ireland for example is an island country but has a border with northern Ireland, and the united kingdom is an island country but has land borders e.g. in Gibraltar. The article this probably should target was Deleted 5 years ago as a non notable concept not covered in reliable sources, but the proposed list article contains basically the same content, just sort the list ascending. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 12:13, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Gibraltar is another country so their border with Spain isn't an Anglo-Spanish border. Other similar examples would be, e.g., Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Brunei, Papua New Guinea, Greenland (if the border runs across Hans), the Åland Islands (land border over Märket) and so on. (Tasmania is likewise an island state with a land border with another Australian state. But that isn't a country anyway. On the other hand Bahrain would be such a case where there's a land border on an artificial island.) 220.246.55.231 (talk) 15:59, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is not relevant....Since the redirect is not redirected to List of borderless countries. Matthew hk (talk) 03:07, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and retarget per 86.23.109.101 above. Move List of borderless countries back to the main namespace and retarget that per 86.23.109.101's comment too. A user moved that to their own user space and claimed that they would work on it but nothimg had so far happened. 220.246.55.231 (talk) 15:59, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Since i am not the actual editor that bold change the redirect and i am not sure i should count as a nominator, i would say if List of borderless countries was deleted via Afd, List of borderless country should treat as the same as Delete. Island countries does not have land border but i am not sure it should be defined as "borderless". Also countries is the correct article title and country is not. People should got to WP:Deletion Review or somewhere else for the Afd. Matthew hk (talk) 18:42, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget or delete. The current target is suboptimal. CMD (talk) 12:51, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, having already been tried at AfD. "Borderless country" seems like a whimsical, novel, and probably wrong way to refer to an island country (the borders of an island country are much more clear and real than most national borders!). It may be because of the current ArbCom case I'm working on, but "borderless country" instead makes me think of something like Kurdistan, that's not a nation-state with clearly defined boundaries. --BDD (talk) 16:03, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• delete as, well, complete BS. There's no good reason to create a redirect for a nonsensical idea. Mangoe (talk) 05:22, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete There are too many ways to interpret "borderless country". --Un assiolo (talk) 14:01, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as a potentially ambiguous or confusing, ungrammatical term. I would be okay with retargeting as an ((R from singular)) if we thought we needed List of borderless countries, but it seems like we do not. Mdewman6 (talk) 21:28, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Friedhof cemetery → Friedhof Wilmersdorf  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Mistranslation of the target: Friedhof means cemetery in German, making this redirect mean "cemetery cemetery", a title that could refer to virtually any cemetery in a German speaking location. A correct translation would be Wilmersdorf Cemetery. Delete unless a justification can be provided. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 12:30, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Friedhof. If a reader is looking for a specific cemetery that they mistakenly believe to be named Friedhof (not unlikely), the disambiguation page Friedhof will tell them that Friedhof simply means cemetary as well as present them with List of cemeteries in Germany (which I just added to that page) plus some more specific entries, potentially helping them find the specific cemetery they are looking for. Lennart97 (talk) 14:32, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
