The result of the discussion was retarget to Andorra#Military. (non-admin closure) Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:33, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Andorra is a landlocked mountaneous country with no navigable rivers that doesn't have any navy. This redirect was created to reduce the number of redlinks in a navbox created by ((Europe topic)). Now we can, however, disable selective countries in the base template, so this misleading redirect is no longer needed.

I just noticed that it was actually ((European topic)) (note the "an" suffix) that triggered the creation of the redirect. But I have requested that the same functionality of link selection be added to this template too. Anyway, the redirect currently serves no purpose but filling a redlink in a navbox while the target article does not even mention the "navy" topic.

Landlocked countries can have navies, however, though in that case they're generally limited to lakes and rivers. Bolivia is one such country. --BDD (talk) 18:09, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Recently created, improbable redirect. Probably an anomaly in WP:TOPRED, listing \x code instead of the actual Unicode characters. If the actual Unicode characters could be determined, that redirect might be possible, if objectively probable. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 11:38, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Recently created, improbable redirect. Creator claims it's "probable" because it appears in WP:TOPRED. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 11:38, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Besides, these are unlikely to be typos. Most likely there's a technical problem on the users end, and that technical problem may well prevent a reader from correcting the mistake anyway. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 21:47, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
We don't know they are real people. Could be a broken bot or a broken app, in which case supplying the redirects would make it less likely the bot or app would be fixed. "Redirects are cheap", but "m" and "n" redirects for all articles would be expensive. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 01:01, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Deleted per WP:CSD#G7 speedy deletion G7. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 16:01, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No evidence that that is a likely target, even if it were commonly used, as it is claimed that WP:TOPRED claims. The group above suggests USB is as likely a target. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 11:38, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently the person who created the redirect thought the film was non-notable and linked to the DAB page so that incoming links would learn the film exists but has no Wikipedia article. That strikes me as an illegitimate use of redirects and DAB pages. (There was at least one incoming link, from Patricia Velásquez, until I removed it just a moment ago.)
