This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on December 17, 2014.

Musée des beaux-arts de Quimper

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 converted to an article. Fram (talk) 07:36, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Probably deserves an article, but doesn't make sense as a (double) redirect, as the target has no information on the subject. Redirecting a specific subject to a general disambiguation rarely is useful. Fram (talk) 20:49, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've created a stub for this museum, and added it to the dab page. PamD 00:09, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you kindly, @PamD:, constructive as ever! All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 00:25, 18 December 2014 (UTC).

The result of the discussion was Delete the redirect, allow a dab page if a suitable set of targets can be agreed. Guy (Help!) 21:46, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This name is not restricted to Canada. - TheChampionMan1234 03:05, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unless there are specific examples of competing destinations I say it is fine as it is. If there are specific examples with articles then we can do something like at Constitution Act. Chillum 18:40, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Considering the examples given I suggest we Disambiguate. Chillum 04:08, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Relisting comment: It would be helpful if someone could draft what this disambiguation page would look like below the redirect.

I appreciate that, but this somewhat confirms my fears. How many of those meet WP:DABMENTION? It's all well and good to say other countries have laws regarding their national anthems, but if we don't discuss those topics, what's the point? Navigation aides, like redirects, should be only concerned with what we already cover, not with what we should. --BDD (talk) 20:12, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Most do, though most are also very brief mentions. Still, that's the info we have, and the dab page points readers to the info they're looking for, either the page on national anthems generally, or the page on the anthem of a particular country which uses this name for its defining statute. It's worth noting that all of these articles have informative external links. In other cases, for example Star Spangled Banner and God Save the Queen, the statutes defining their status are not known as "National Anthem Act", so I didn't include them. I doubt we'd actually be able to write articles for any of these Acts separate from the anthems they refer to. Japan seems to be an exception. I wouldn't write an article about Canada's National Anthem Act, it makes more sense to discuss it in the O Canada article (which we do). Ivanvector (talk) 20:43, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm wary of redirects that point to only trivial mentions. And I don't think this is a good candidate for a WP:CONCEPTDAB. But perhaps a short section at National anthem (#Legislation ?) on the legal establishment and recognition of national anthems? We could then redirect this there, and link to articles where the concept is better developed as a way of giving examples. --BDD (talk) 02:09, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Virginia State Route 638

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 delete all the county-specific redirects. Virginia State Route 638 (and VA 638/State Route 638 (Virginia), which now redirect there) was converted to a disambiguation page by the nominator, and there's a consensus to delete the rest.

Delete all. These redirected to a section of the list that listed seven different routes as if they were one continuous route (and which I spent several minutes trying to locate before I realized they were discontinuous). I removed the section because all but the one in Scott County are very minor roads (in Virginia, practically every public road has a state route number, and numbers over 600 are only unique within a county). So now these redirect to nowhere. (I wrote a better description for the one in Scott County, so did not list those redirects here.) NE2 04:55, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No connections with German. - TheChampionMan1234 01:12, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The argument is that there is no affinity with German, and I think it's consensus now that WP is not a (translation) dictionary.
Additionally, it is not mentioned at the target. So anyone using this redirect unexpectedly (e.g. if hidden under a pipe) wonders how they got there. Those using it expectedly might be surprised, too. Even the German de:Tadsch Mahal is an R to de:Taj Mahal, so presumably the correct German term is indeed "Taj Mahal".
Which readers? Stats show a mean average of three hits a week. The redirect de:Tadsch Mahal exists with a mean average of 4+1⁄3 hits/day. The article de:Taj Mahal has a mean average of 385+3⁄5 hits/day. Si Trew (talk) 13:18, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's not an argument, that's a statement of fact unrelated to the discussion at hand. Similarly, although it's true that Wikipedia is not a translation dictionary, that statement has nothing to do with this redirect. Three readers a week is not a ton, but that there's only a few of them is no reason to make the encyclopaedia harder for them to use where there's no apparent encyclopaedic benefit.
