Not seeing these tied closely to accounting at all. A battle could be dearly won etc. Did Neelix even look at the target article? Legacypac (talk) 22:59, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dictionary word pointed at it's Italian equivalent which is used as a music term in English. Retarget to wikionary maybe? Legacypac (talk) 22:46, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, I'm not even sure that the target should have a diacritical mark in Italian, let alone in English. Spanish WP has it with the accent both as its article title and in the Italian etymology, translating as Spanish: servil. There's no article on Italian WP (or in Italian Wiktionary).

The result of the discussion was keep both. JohnCD (talk) 12:59, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Snake is called "yellow-jaw tommygoff" in one part of it's range. Is this enough to justify these redirects? Legacypac (talk) 22:32, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

These are just confusing and not helpful to reader pointed at a DAB (that I just merged four overlapping DABs together to make, check for any issues there while you are looking) Legacypac (talk) 22:14, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete all. JohnCD (talk) 12:57, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

These are problematic. See WP:INUSA for why it's a bad idea for X to redirect to "X in the United States", and similar discussions for West and Central Asians and Arabs.

(Note that since Latino redirects to Hispanic and Latino Americans, I haven't nominated Stereotypes of Latinos or Latino stereotypes. Note also that while the term "Mestizo" is mentioned at the target article, no stereotypes specific to Mestizos are even included.) --BDD (talk) 22:07, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Vague target, I'm thinking about a set-index, but not entirely sure. We can have List of iOS games and/or List of free and open-source iOS applications etc. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 22:01, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unused, and multiple RfCs and other consensus discussions at WT:LEAD have concluded to stop promoting "lede" in reference to WP article leads (encyclopedic leads have little in common with journalistic ledes, and the usage is misleading here).  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  04:04, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Shinbyu. By implication of Ivanvector's argument I have retargeted Novitiation as well. Deryck C. 23:03, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see an obvious retarget for this exceptionally rare word. You will not get any help understanding it at the target for It seems to be mainly used in describing Myanmar Buddhism but with only 301 Google hits including non-English results it is just so rare its not really a useful word. Another Neelix creation so could be G6 Housekeeping. Legacypac (talk) 05:47, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: It looks like a "novitiation" is the beginning of a novitiate, which is at least recognized in some strains of Buddhism. Could a different article on Novitiation be feasible?

I think this is one of those theoretical words that can be created within the way English works, but is not a real word in that it is not recognized in dictionaries and literature. Exactly the kind of mistake an ESL speaker might make. If the "fact" this word exists is not found in a RS we should delete just like any other "fact" not found in RS.

All nonsense compound words like so many others we have deleted aready. We don't just stick words together to make redirects. There are also redirects for these terms with spaces and dashes too. Legacypac (talk) 11:00, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, these two words have the same-ish etymology, but other than that, I'm at a loss of how these are related. -- Tavix (talk) 06:02, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete all. JohnCD (talk) 13:48, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This comes from a speech in which Hugo Chávez called George W. Bush a devil. It's not mentioned at his article and I have WP:BLP concerns about these redirects since it draws attention to this incident. (Additionally: Bush Devil seems to be the name of a monster truck.) -- Tavix (talk) 05:38, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. And let me take this opportunity to plug one of my favorite articles, ¿Por qué no te callas?. --BDD (talk) 15:28, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:RTYPO, all of these have multiple mistakes from "Hugo Chávez". Seems like someone was playing the permutation game to see how many typos they could come up with. -- Tavix (talk) 05:17, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

search engines are smart enough to get people where they need to go. If you search any of these errors you can see they multiply across the Internet from here so are actually doing harm.

Black education

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. Although several editors argued for keep on the basis that these phrases predominantly refers to African Americans in existing literature, there is a strong majority to delete based on reasons such as redlinking, that Wikipedia shouldn't propagate the US-centric use of these terms, and ambiguity of the terms. Deryck C. 23:35, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, as WP:RFD#D2 confusing (essentially, vague), WP:XYZ. I realise there are possible targets out there, but perhaps too many to try to DAB them. Si Trew (talk) 04:20, 28 January 2016 (UTC) Si Trew (talk) 04:20, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Most of those are specific to the United States or African Americans. It would be nice to have a good place to retarget those in the article if this is to be deleted. Black Poverty was previous an article; it was a contested CSD and then was changed to a redirect with this edit of 17 January 2012 by User:Daniel J. Leivick, and occasionally has been to section "Economic status" (but isn't right now).
Black poverty is also referenced at Talk:Jena Six#Links to articles that haven't been written yet (January 2012), and Black education at Talk:Female education#Inappropriate title (September 2015). I've left a courtesy comment at each of the talk pages, referring to here. There's references at a few WikiProjects but I don't think they need to be notified expressly. Si Trew (talk) 17:33, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Drmies stated, "God forbid we give the appearance that on Wikipedia rassling, K-pop, and manga are more important than black education." LOL! So true. I'm also not sure why we don't yet have an encyclopedic article on the topic. Sometimes...that's just the way Wikipedia is; things that should have Wikipedia articles don't, while things that shouldn't have Wikipedia articles do. That's not to state that our popular culture topics don't deserve space, of course. I like manga. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 22:25, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Target is only distantly related to redirect. Maybe better to target Happiness or something similar. Also this is not a dictionary so we could just delete. Legacypac (talk) 02:38, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Deleted as G6 Neelix cleanup. Legacypac (talk) 11:47, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Significant differences between these two feelings making this a misleading redirect. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. All the variations of deject listed here included in this nomination by reference. Neelix nonsense so if it looks like these should be deleted they can be G6 speedy. [4]. Legacypac (talk) 02:33, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
