The result of the discussion was Wrong forum. Discussion moved to Talk:Turner (disambiguation)#Requested move. (non-admin closure) Steel1943 (talk) 20:53, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Turner should redirect to Turner (disambiguation). While I agree that J. M. W. Turner is one of the most notable artists of history, this situation differs from cases like Picasso or Beethoven. Turner is an incredibly common name, belonging to notable figures such as Prime Ministers, award winning actors, and one of the most well-known media moguls, among hundreds of others. Additionally, google search, news, and book results to not indicate that the artist dominates in the use of the last name. Yaksar (let's chat) 20:41, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not a proper name for a redirect. Noone is going to be looking for anal cancer by searching for ass cancer. -- CFCF 🍌 (email) 19:38, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • I could only partially agree with that rationale if the article "Donkey cancer" existed, and it doesn't. Also, I don't understand why "schoolboys" getting a laugh out of the redirect has any impact on whether or not it should be deleted; we don't censor a term just because it may get some laughs ... so WP:NOTCENSORED really does apply. In fact, stating that "schoolboys" may look this this term up proves that it is useful redirect, and thus meets WP:RFD#KEEP reason 5. Steel1943 (talk) 20:29, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
So we should add new redirects, such as Asshole cancer and Bunghole cancer, and Boob cancer (and perhaps dozens of others) for breast cancer? The Fat Man Who Never Came Back made a career of lampooning the insular ways and occasional sophistries of wikipedians. Years after he created this redirect, Wikipedia finally bit. TFM would be pleased with the commotion his redirect has caused. Kablammo (talk) 13:20, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • To provide some clarity on my stance, I, more or less, agree with Thryduulf's statement below. Steel1943 (talk) 13:23, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Anyway, for a medical topic it would be far better to avoid making assumptions about what exactly the reader is trying to find. I don't know whether this should seriously be a disambiguation page, or whether we should delete it (effectively telling searchers that they need to use more precise terminology). 61.10.165.33 (talk) 02:23, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It would promote the term inasmuch as when someone Googles "ass cancer", they're likely to get a dab of that name as one of the top results, rather than the encyclopedic target article. (The RfD has been around long enough that the template text now shows in a search.) Calling the term juvenile in mainspace is POV. And at a glance through Google results, at least, the term does more likely refer to anal cancer. --BDD (talk) 00:52, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That is no more relevant than any other case where someone googles a topic that has the disambiguation page primary. I haven't done the research again, so I'm a little fuzzy on the detail, but my recommendation is based on my findings when removing as much of the irrelevant results as I could.

What does this mean. I am getting Google search results about unrelated islands in Indonesia among other stuff. - TheChampionMan1234 23:55, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It probably means ‘canoe’, but in what language I don’t know. A Carib dictionary spells it ⟨kanawa⟩. A Paumarí lexicon spells it ⟨kānāʹwā⟩. Many online dictionaries, which all share a single source, spell it ⟨kana:wa⟩ and claim it is Carib. Gorobay (talk) 21:34, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy retarget to St. Andrew's Church with the agreement of the nominator and no contrary views. NAC. The Whispering Wind (talk) 14:58, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to delete the redirect to create future disambugation page for churches named after St. Andrew. Following WP:Commonname, the article Paranaque Cathedral does not need any redirect. Carlojoseph14 (talk) 12:51, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sorry, I did not see that there is an existing disambugation page. I agree with a retarget. --Carlojoseph14 (talk) 13:06, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No affinity for Romanised Japanese - TheChampionMan1234 07:22, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment According to jawiki (yes, yes, WP:CIRCULAR, but the paragraph cites sources) Japanese stopped using the name Kankoku during the colonial period:
韓国併合によって大韓帝国が消滅すると、日本は韓国の地名を朝鮮に戻し、朝鮮に本籍地を有する日本臣民となった者が法律上、「朝鮮人」と称されることになった。
Due to the annexation of Kankoku, the Korean Empire disappeared and Japan went back to using the name Chosen for Kankoku, and people domiciled in Chosen who became Japanese subjects were called "Chosen people" under the law.
Probably it's because Kankoku contained the character koku (country). Anyway, it's yet another reason why redirecting Kankoku to Korea under Japanese rule makes about as much sense as redirecting Repiblik dominikèn to Unification of Hispaniola. 61.10.165.33 (talk) 03:38, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: I read the above arguments as having approximately equal weight for retargetting and for deleting. Obviously we cannot do both, so more input would be helpful

I did. I wonder if my doing inside a (subst-ed) template had anything to do with it? Thryduulf (talk) 09:38, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
