I didn't get a hit that this is a foreign language, but it does seem to be in the implausible range as far as typos go. Stats are negligible. -- Tavix (talk) 22:01, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was WP:SNOWball keep. (non-admin closure) Si Trew (talk) 23:28, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not plausible, I can't imagine how one could make this sort of typo. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 21:50, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, "Melania" isn't a common name, so we should be a little more lax as to what we allow. 160 pageviews over the last 90 days puts this into the realm of plausible as far as typos go. The typo seems common enough in the wild, a few examples being [1][2][3]. Besides, deletion would just make it harder for those using this redirect to get to where they want to go, which is harmful. -- Tavix (talk) 22:08, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It's actually not that hard to imagine how someone could make this sort of typo; "Melania" is an unusual enough name to North American English speakers that I can easily see people being incorrect about how it's actually spelled (or even knowing how to spell it correctly but mistyping it anyway because their fingers were working a bit faster than their brains), and as Tavix demonstrates above there really are real-world examples of it really happening. Not at all implausible. Bearcat (talk) 22:18, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • According to this site the name "Donald" as a baby name has risen 74 spots since 2015 but "Melania" has dropped, I don't 100% trust the accuracy of this site, but I don't get how this is inconsistent, however, I agree it is not a common name at least currently, but I expect it to get more popular, also "Ivanka" has hugely risen. I still have not changed my opinion on the redirect, but not sure if it will become any more plausible by the end on 2017. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 22:44, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What more evidence of plausibility do you need than the links Tavix has shown above in which this exact error has already happened? Bearcat (talk) 00:30, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Predicting that Melania will become more popular as a baby name has no bearing on the plausibility of Meliana as a misspelling. — Sam Sailor 14:31, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As with Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 October 16#VF2477, this is an unnecessary and unhelpful redirect from the call sign of a specific low-power radio transmitter to a broad overview article about the general concept of radio call signs in Canada — the article certainly provides a general explanation of what "VF" stations are, but the target contains no information at all about this VF station in particular. Which means the redirect is virtually pointless, because in the remarkably unlikely event that anybody actually searches for this at all the target isn't going to tell them anything about it.

The result of the discussion was withdrawn by nominator (see comments below). (non-admin closure) Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:26, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User Herostratus posted about this redirect at WT:NOT some time ago and didn't get any input, so they boldly redirected the shortcut to its current target. This has broken some old discussions, but "fixed" others, however its historical use as a shortcut to NOT seems as though it ought to be preferred. Suggest therefore that it should be retargeted back to Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:16, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Nom comment - the use of WI as a shortcut seems to be an initialism for "Wikipedia Isn't", per this discussion. Maybe that's stretching? Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:17, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The redirect should never have been created in the first place, my bad. Wisconsin seems a more reasonable target to me. If you're worried about old discussions, that could be fixed with a bot. ··gracefool 💬 22:33, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I checked that the only links were to discussions, mostly archived discussions. I wouldn't worry too much about letting archived discussions control our actions going forward. "Wikipedia Isn't" is too much of a stretch IMO. IMO having a redirect that is so non-obvious is more confusing than helpful, and a net negative. Other redirects are to state projects, e.g. WP:IL goes to WikiProject Illinois and so forth. Herostratus (talk) 01:11, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment whichever target is chosen there should be a hatnote to the other, noting historical use if Wisconsin is chosen as this will reduce confusion for anyone following links from old discussions. Thryduulf (talk) 11:50, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Withdrawn - assuming there to be consensus for the change(s) I have gone ahead and done them. I went through the "what links here" for WP:WI, where there are a series of discussions which I think don't need to be corrected (it's just a shortcut) but there are also a handful of lists scattered about where users have tried to compile lists of the two-letter shortcuts which provided a link with context indicating it linked to this policy, which it no longer does; I removed those entries. I've also added a hatnote at Wikipedia:WikiProject Wisconsin regarding the shortcut. @Herostratus: I noticed while doing this that you've changed some other two-letter shortcuts with historical usage (WP:MI, at least) which I'm sure is fine, but I think you should do these checks for any others that you've retargeted.

  • Delete. as WP:RFD#D8 per WP:RFOREIGN. No particular affinity to Portuguese. Euromilhoes is a Eubot creation from the other. We don't have it in any other language (not that that matters, but just for info: I checked.) Euromilhões was used in one article, for a TV show of that name: I've unlinked that because the show and the lottery are not the same thing. The other has no article links. Combined page views are 16+31=47 in 90 days. Si Trew (talk) 16:35, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tomas Cardinal O Fiaich

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was Withdrawn by me. (non-admin closure) Si Trew (talk) 06:34, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all. The two without diacritics are Eubot creations; the other two are {{R from page move}}s. Nevertheless, they seem rather unlikely search term with the "Cardinal" after the "Tomás", Google gives me just one hit: APPLICATION FOR MEMBERSHIP ANCIENT ORDER OF HIBERNIANS IN AMERICA, INC where it's the "Tomás Cardinal O'Fiaich Division". Is it reasonable to put "Cardinal" after someone's first name? Because we've already a redirect such as Cardinal Tomas O Fiaich so it's not as deleting these will make it harder to find the man; hits are 37 combined in 90 days, no article links to any except three to Tomás Cardinal Ó Fiaich (which contributes 33 of the 37 hits). Si Trew (talk) 15:21, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all. Per Cardinal (Catholic Church)#Title_and_reference_style, Cardinals sign by placing the title "Cardinal" (abbreviated Card.) after their personal name and before their surname as, for instance, "John Card(inal) Doe". Some sources also recommend that format when referring to them in English, tho this appears not to be the majority view. It is surprising that the nominator appears not to have checked this before making the nomination.
    Additionally, this name format is more widely-used than the nominator claims. A search for the string "Tomas Cardinal O Fiaich" gives 27 hits on Gbooks and 7 hits on Gscholar. JSTOR gives 4 hits. It is always a good idea to link to Google searches so that other editors can verify the results, and it would be helpful to see what Google searches the nominator conducted in this case to obtain only one hit.
    Note that other Cardinals also receive a significant number of Ghits for the format:
  1. Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin: 33 Ghits for "Joseph Cardinal Tobin", despite being in office for less than one month
  2. Cardinal Basil Hume 121 ghits for "Basil Cardinal Hume".
So I see no basis for the nom's claim that this format is an "unlikely search term" for a cardinal. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:15, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment the claim that these are unlikely search terms is supported by the stats I gave. It's pointless to give either the Gsearch search term or its results, because gsearch is dynamic and others are unlikely to reproduce them. I did an exact-term match and discarded the results that didnát exactly match (gsearch does not actually do a verbatim match.) Si Trew (talk) 06:34, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that Deryck, I looked at the wrong name on that side of the diff (i.e. yours in the edit summary rather than Lmmnhn's which, on my screen, appears immediately above it). Si Trew (talk) 20:59, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete none of the so called "middle-of-the road" parties actually are centrist parties. In the Hong Kong context, the "middle-of-the-road" means an alternative path between the pro-democrats and pro-Beijing camp and it's not what "centrism" is about.

The result of the discussion was keep. -- Tavix (talk) 03:03, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(eubot) Delete. "Duesseldorf" is not used in the target, and "Dusseldorf" would be the normal English spelling. Duesseldorf is an {{R from other spelling}} but this one is pushing it. No internal links, three hits in ninety days. Si Trew (talk) 10:07, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that follows: the stats and links seem to show that very few (if any) people, render Dusseldorf-Pempelfort as Duesseldorf-Pempelfort when searching or linking. The whole premiss of these Eubot redirects is that "anything with a 'ü' can be transliterated as 'ue'"; I don't accept that premiss (even for German ones) when there's a well-established anglicised form. In this case, the anglicised form of "Düsseldorf" is Dusseldorf, not Duesseldorf. When we have place-names that have been truly anglicised, I don't think it's helpful to keep them in some bastardized half-German, half-English variant. It's a different matter for place-names that have not gone native, which are the vast majority.
In fact, even the Duesseldorf R only averages six or seven hits a day (with a massive spike to 199 on 22 September, for some reason), and is linked from precisely nowhere, although it is used in quite a few articles. But I'm not suggesting to delete that, I'm nominating this particular redirect. Si Trew (talk) 10:22, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(Eubot) Weak delete. Another Swedish one. I've been hanging off of listing the Swedish ones, as Swedish is a Germanic language, but I don't think they really make much sense.

Vandalism redirect. Team Fortress 3 is non-existant. Not related to the target at all. The1337gamer (talk) 09:32, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as WP:RFD#D2 confusing, not at target. Not at Team Fortress 2 or Team Fortress Classic, either. Incidentally, Team Fortress targets the latter, but I'm not sure whether that's WP:XY: perhaps hatnotes in the two articles would be good? I'm no gamer so I don't know if one or the other would be the "primary topic" for the redirect. Si Trew (talk) 09:36, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I'm no gamer, but when searching for "Team Fortress 3" I did find several articles saying "Overwatch is basically Team Fortress 3" (in various ways) so clearly there is some logic to the current redirect, but there is no mention of the exact phrase anywhere in article space other than the title of this redirect so I don't think it's good as it stands. I'll leave a note for the video games project though as subject experts may be able to offer alternative suggestions. Thryduulf (talk) 09:57, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment It's a joke redirect. Valve, the developers behind Team Fortress 2 are infamous for never releasing 3rd installments for their franchises, and since Overwatch has similarities to Team Fortress 2 in terms of art style and gameplay, some gamers think of it as a spiritual successor to Team Fortress 2, despite being made by a different company. So the joke is that Overwatch "is" Team Fortress 3 since Valve will never release the real Team Fortress 3. CurlyWi (talk) 10:53, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete While a Half-Life 3 has been discussed (and its non-existence an actually point of discussion in media), TF3 is not anywhere close to the same level of interest. And I've also not seen any serious talk that OW is effectively TF3 and even if that was the case, SimonTrew's point on confusion would be 100% appropriate. --MASEM (t) 15:22, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, and warn the creator of the redirect that any further creations of such redirects may result in a block. Gamingforfun365 (talk) 18:11, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There is no evidence that OW is TF3. IF OW was TF3, they would have climbed the highest mountain and shouted it to the world. But it's not. This is a erroneous redirect and should be deleted to help stop the spreading of this rumor.Toplar Scarre (talk) 18:22, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Obviously erroneous. The Team Fortress series and Overwatch aren't even developed or published by the same companies. Steel1943 (talk) 21:59, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Taken to WP:CSD as {{db-xfd}} (WP:G6), remarking that it's a WP:SNOW delete. I note that on creating its talk page to add the SNOW explanation, I got a warning that I was recreating a deleted page, so I imagine the target itself has been deleted previously. Si Trew (talk) 22:09, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Right, I forgot that I've PRODed it once and RfD it once previously: Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2015_May_8#Team_Fortress_3. Someone should salt the page to prevent it being recreated again. --The1337gamer (talk) 22:22, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. -- Tavix (talk) 16:54, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete. The second one is a Eubot creation from the first. They both have a mix of "de" and "of" so are not very good transliterations. "Borbon Dampierre" is not used at the target, with or without the accent. Si Trew (talk) 09:30, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment translating "de" → "of" in a title but not in a name is not uncommon in English language sources about nobility so these should not be deleted solely for that reason. I don't currently have a view on whether or not they should be deleted for other reasons though. Thryduulf (talk) 10:04, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with you, we often keep "de" in the English name (e.g. de Montfort, d'Urberville and De'Ath, let alone Delevingne); but here we don't actually have the name "Borbon Dampierre" or "de Borbon Dampierre" at all (nor versions with the accents, Borbón Dampierre and de Borbón Dampierre), so I'm not sure this is actually part of a name... I was more really going for WP:RfD#D2, not at target; it's "Borbón y Dampierre" so I suppose "Borbon and Dampierre" makes more sense. "Si Trew (talk) 10:15, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was no consensus. There is clearly no appetite for deletion, but no consensus on whether it should point to the current target or not. I find the arguments in favour of keeping slightly stronger but not enough for an outright keep result, particularly since a non consensus closure results in the same experience for a user of the redirect.

(Eubot) Delete. Not how we spell Zurich, in fact it's not even how Zurich spells Zuerich except in a couple of Web addresses, so this is a weird transliteration. No doubt used "Zuerich" is used this way in the wild, but this is the English Wikipedia and if the transliteration is there to help English readers then it's not really sensible to disambiguate with "Zuerich". These have come by way of Mönchaltorf (Zürich) and Volken (Zürich) (which are marked as {{R to Swiss municipality (canton)}}: these aren't). Si Trew (talk) 08:35, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(Eubot) Delete. Not Germanic umlaut but transliteration of Chinese or Tibetan? Oddly, the target doesn't use the accent in the lede but just calls it Puncogling, but its title, and use in the navbox, is with the accent. Si Trew (talk) 08:31, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(Eubot) Delete as WP:RFD#D5 nonsense, not a Germanic umlaut but a letter in the Hungarian alphabet. "Fueloep Beck O" also has very weird word order, while in Hungarian this would be "Beck Ö. Fülöp" (as the article states), that doesn't make "O" part of the surname here: it's actually the initial of the first name, and "Fülöp" is the middle name. For example my name in Hungarian order would be "Trew S. Mark", not "Trew Simon M" (but foreigners' names keep their usual order). Si Trew (talk) 08:14, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(Eubot) Delete per WP:TITLE, we don't have titles in titles, and Mīr is a title (honorific). Since this is not a title familiar to an English-speaking audience, and we haven't an article about it, its presence is WP:RFD#D2 confusing. We don't have M. Mitterand for example. I'm not sure that whacking the accent off of "Mir" makes it more understandable. Si Trew (talk) 02:42, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. "Mīr" isn't a regular title like "Mr" or "Revd". I'm used to seeing pre-modern poets or religious leaders referred to with "Mīr" prefixed to their names in contexts when a title wouldn't have normally been used. Also, "Mīr" appears in several variants in Navoi's name in his LC authority record. – Uanfala (talk) 12:25, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I just guessed wrong: definitely no affinity to German, then! I did try to find the language for this, but obviously not very hard since we have sv:Kräftor. Still, no particular affinity to Swedish either. Incidentally, User:Hegvald, there are a lot of redirects created by User:Eubot from Swedish that have been transliterated with "ö" as "oe", e.g. Christer Sjögren as Christer Sjoegren. I don't know if these make sense (in general) or not; Swedish_alphabet#Accented_letters is silent on the subject and I didn't get much joy from a wider gsearch. Can you help? Si Trew (talk) 09:56, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
While in German, ö>oe is standard and sometimes used for indexing in a way it isn't in Swedish, one will still on occasion see oe, ae and aa (for å) used in Swedish, mostly when there are technical limitations (as in the early years of the internet; I remember using these spellings in the 90s when writing e-mail through a system that couldn't handle the letters with diacritics, and I wasn't alone in doing this). There are also Swedish surnames that use ae or oe; this was originally probably limited to latinized, "learned" names, such as Læstadius or Thermænius (which may be written with or without the ligature, dependent on technical limitations and personal preference) or names of families of Danish origin, but one does see ae or æ used in names with a Swedish etymology, such as Bæckström (=Bäckström), where it is a purely cosmetic issue (like using the spelling Smythe for Smith), although no doubt often of significance to the identity of the family or individual in question.
Sorry if this was a less clear-cut comment than you wanted. As for the redirects, I find them harmless at worst, and they may sometimes actually be useful. Unless they are needed for a title of another article or problematic in some other particular way, I would think it better to keep them. --Hegvald (talk) 12:15, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @Hegvald: I'll stop listing them here then, unless they're a particular problem. I'd already skipped listing them until I had more consensus on whether we should keep them. Nevertheless, they should probably be rcatted as {{R from other spelling}}, not {{R from title without diacritics}}. Si Trew (talk) 15:01, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I hadn't realised that was U+0451 : CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER IO, I had assumed it was U+00EB : LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH DIAERESIS.

(eubot for the non-diacritics one). This is a bit of a weird disambiguation, because we don't have an English article for sl:Občina Tišina, so really we don't need to disambiguate that we're talking about the town but not the Občina. I find it odd we don't have an article for it, when French, German and Spanish etc (i.e. other large Wikipedias) do... I wonder if it needs retargeting somehow. The one with the diacritics is an {{R from move}} of 2006, but in other WPs the town and the občina are distinct, so I wonder if this is just WP:RFD#D2 confusing to have them as the same thing.

(Eubot). I have come over with a dose of the Windischgratzes here. This is a mix of German ("Ernst"), English, and English transliteration of German ("Lueneburg"). We have forty-seven more redirects to this target, which I'll argue is far too many. (It's not a question of WP:RCHEAP, it's a question of "clutter": having forty-seven different ways to refer to the same person in an article encourages editors to be inconsistent: and things like elision and so on are what pipes are for). I better batch them, but will start with this one. It is not, as proclaimed, a {{R from title without diacritics}}. Si Trew (talk) 00:14, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
