Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

This term has multiple domain-specific meanings in Arabic, but in current use for non-Muslims it is a slur. A literal equivalent of "non-Muslim" is used in mainstream discourse instead. This is like redirecting "black people" to the N-word. Just because the term was once commonly used in this way and is still being used in this way in some quarters doesn't mean that it's acceptable to equate the two in an encyclopedia. Eperoton (talk) 18:26, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In Islamic theology the term refers broadly to "unbelief" and related notions and it has been elaborated in various ways in application to both Muslims and non-Muslims. It is certainly used by some in everyday conversation as a derogatory term for non-Muslims. Eperoton (talk) 16:57, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to be an idea in anthropology, especially applied to the Indian caste system, but it's not discussed at the target article. (There is an external link to a paper with this title.) There's a handful of search results for the phrase on Wikipedia, so there might be potential for an article. BDD (talk) 17:38, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You can easily dislike something without it rising to the level of disgust or revulsion. Delete, or retarget to Like as ((R from antonym)). BDD (talk) 17:35, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

not hyphenated terms, not useful in search as the search engines just ignore these. Still working on the Neelix list Legacypac (talk) 05:06, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

The result of the discussion was retarget to Confusion. JohnCD (talk) 21:04, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What else could this be directed too? Seems like a poor redirect. Legacypac (talk) 11:38, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved that article to just plain Confusion, which redirected there. As opposed to what? Physical confusion? --BDD (talk) 16:07, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
A country or group of people can be in confusion too. Legacypac (talk) 03:57, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete as there's currently no feasible target that is useful for the reader. Deryck C. 21:27, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is one of thousands of similar redirects to hangul, which is a rather unhelpful target: it doesn't actually mention those redirects.

I'm not entirely opposed to deleting these, but in the discussion three years ago there was some mention of the idea that all Unicode codepoints are likely search terms and should point somewhere. In the case of the nonsense syllables, there's only two better targets: hangul consonant and vowel tables (which explains how they're theoretically pronounced - but only if you know which of the collapse boxes to open, you can't use Ctrl+F to find it) and Hangul Syllables (which has an uncollapsed a table listing everything in the Unicode Block, but it tells you only the codepoint and no other information). Which one do you all think is better? 210.6.254.106 (talk) 12:56, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Civil war in Yemen

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 speedy retarget. This was created as a redirect to the disambiguation page, and all edits since have been bots fixing double redirects, as related pages have moved. And that's about right—this should target "Yemeni Civil War" whatever it is. No human has tried to make it do anything else. --BDD (talk) 16:21, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Should be redirected to Yemeni Civil War, a disambiguation page. George Ho (talk) 08:16, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Zhengyin" and "chaowen" are Chinese words written in pinyin. The target is unrelated to Chinese and is not called "zhengyin" or "chaowen" in Chinese anyway. There's no better target; a user who enters these strings is best served by seeing the search results & all the partial matches therein, which consist of topics which are actually related to Chinese. 210.6.254.106 (talk) 08:00, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non-existent title. Not a plausible misspelling, as the correct title is Baron MacLeod of Fuinary. The Traditionalist (talk) 03:27, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
