• Erdogan fried rice cake → Ear-hole fried cake  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This apparantly was created as a result of machine translation from Chinese. But I still don't get it. Erdogan is zh:埃尔多安. It was subsequently moved. I don't get it, even if the creator had some sort of political motif, it doesn't make sense. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 22:28, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete it's a half-assed translation job. Ěrduǒ is Chinese pinyin for ear. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:17, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• @AngusWOOF and SimonTrew: "耳朵干" appears to be Chinese internet slang for Erdogan. I've never heard of that until just then though. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 01:24, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, searching for 耳朵干 gives me a bunch of pink bunny hats, nothing even close to the food. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:34, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a specific example [1]. Just searching for 耳朵干 alone these reveal pages about dry ear symptoms, because 干 means dry and 耳朵 ear. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 01:36, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well there's always dried Pig's ear (food). If you order 耳朵干 in China you'd probably get that instead of the cake. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 13:09, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• 'Delete I don't know Chinese at all. were I searching for Erdogan I doubt I would want to find an article about cake. I don't know any Chinese, so as an ignorant but intelligent reader I would be WP:SURPRISEd it goes this way. I seem to remember we had a discussion recently about Erdogan whether it was the primary topic for Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, but anyway, someone looking for a Recep recipe is unlikely to find it at this target. I'll try to find the Erdogan discussion and add here. Si Trew (talk) 02:18, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To continue. It doesn't matter whether Erdogan is the primary redirect to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Since I know absolutely nothing about Chinese, I am not really capable to decide whether this is a good or bad translation: that puts me in the same position as about 99.99% of our English-speaking readership. I note the pinyin is as Ěrduǒyǎn zhà gāo, which is red, as is Erdoyan zha gao without the diacritics. This is just a leap too far. I think I wlll PROD the article, then it all falls out. The article is a stub well-sourced but a one-sentence stub nonetheless. In English, we sould say "Number 68 please, with special flied lice." Si Trew (talk) 02:24, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@SimonTrew: It has previously been prodded and I spotted it at PNT and thus rewrote it from a stub on zhwiki. AfD it if you want to. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 02:27, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I see that now but still, I shall prod it again. Yeah, PROD is probably the wrong forum, now. The initial PROD was by User:Jac16888, who is a stalwart over at WP:PNT. That probably means it came up at PNT and I would not know that because I only look at articles I could possibly translate, at PNT, not Chinese ones. Leave my PROD as it stands and let's discuss it there, because it's not really the Rs that are the problem but the article, Champ. I do realise in good faith you translated it, but really there is nothing to translate. Ear-ole is cockney for an earhole by the way, but more generally means to be nagged, "Giving me the ear-ole". Si Trew (talk) 02:34, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My prod was because the original version was badly translated to the point it was essentially nonsense but it has since been rewritten--Jac16888 ^Talk 15:49, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's far enough away from Erduoyan to be WP:RTYPO Erdo and Erduo is close enough, but mixing yan and gan outside of the OCR reader doesn't make sense. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 13:07, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. I've improved the lede of the article, with User:Champion's help, from a slightly fuller version at French Wikipedia. Champ is right so essentially we rescued the article. I am still not sure of the redirect: In french in the lede it says Erdoyan. Champ is good at Chinese stuff, but User:Lenticel may have a second opinion, I think.

Rostix is red so I probably for some reason substituted "x" for "ks" but that is not something I would usually do, so I am doubting myself now. Perhaps I was hypercorrecting, because of the apostrophe S wouldn't be used that way in Hungarian native words (it would be Rostiki), or something like that, as the possessive noun but frequently is found on loanwords, usually without the apostrophe.(Even in English we're losing the apostrophe, e.g Sainsburys, Lloyds Bank have officially dropped the apostrophe).

Ohhh that's tricky, Champ. By my own lights Kentucky Fried Chicken rebranded to KFC not to lose the "chicken" but the "fried". Yet they never said so (and I have been on the hunt for an RS for that for years, in my fiing cabinet under K with a family bucket underneath). If you look in your Yellow Pages zou will find many impostors, in the genteel town of Letchworth where I lived there was a Southern Fried Chicken for example, which just sails past the common law of passing off.

I hadn't seen that, no, but it doesn't entirely surprise me. I heard somewhere, I think this was on the BBC News Channel's "Click" programme, that in China, somewhere, they have built an entirely fake Apple Store to sell fake Apple Computer products. I think it was in Szenzen or soemwhere, sorry they hadn't the good transliteration of where it was. It doesn't surprise me with the rather weak enforcement of copyright law etc in China, one thing the "West" is rather grumbly about. (And why do we Europeans call ourselves the "West" when apart from the majority of the UK, Ireland, and a bit of Portugal, most of us are "East" of the greenwich meridian? I mean, we the British put the bloody line there, you'd think we;d afterwards have got it right what to call ourselves) There was an interesting one the other day because in Romanian the word for "eastern" is "orienti" (I think I have the declension correct there), but "oriented" rarely means "turned to the east" nowadays in English, and one cannot be "disoccidented" if one is knocked off a westward course. I am annoyed also because Richard Osman on Pointless said that "Keleti" is Hungarian for "East" (the clue was Keleti pályaudvar). It's not, it's "Eastern". The -i tends to indicate the posessive noun or means kind "of", so "of the east", "Eastern". Hey-ho. Rambling again. Si Trew (talk) 00:15, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

hahaha. I would like to know how a Chinese pronounces "Kentucky Fried Chicken". The L-R confusion is not just a stereotype, it does exist. I have the same in Hungarian because to me "O" is just "O" and not "o" with one accent, "O" with an umlaut, "O" with two accents, "O" with a tilde, all of which are distinct sounds in Hungarian and are listed separetly in dictionaries. To me they just sound like "O", and I am led to belive again, Japanese and Chines it's not because they can't say it, but because they can't hear it. From my personal experience I would agree with that, I can write in Hungarian not too badly but sometimes I can't hear it well. I am not deaf, I just don't hear the distinction. But then I come from where it is usuall to have dropped aitches and glottal stops on Ts so when I say "hotel" it is something nearer to, "oh (stop) well", because in English we tend to stop a lot ratther than say French where it is more glissando. English is a really ugly language, Si Trew (talk) 13:45, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

They have KFC in China so they don't need to sound out the original name. You can google image that.

I can understand that. I have had quite a campaign about saying "Neelix redirect" when listing here of being somehow anti-Neelix, even though the guidelines for admins closing Neelix redirecs is specifically to say "Neelix redirect" in their closing rationale. I can go into that more fully but I can understand why you would prefer not to, and exactly why of course I did. I've had the flak already so I don't mind saying it. And to reiterate, I don't think at all that Neelix acted in bad faith, the search engine was not as good then as it is now, and I genuinely believe Neelix was trying to make Wikipedia better with all his redirects. he was wrong but not bad. Show me a man who has never made a mistake and I shall show you a liar. Neelix is not even banned from WP, although I think he is banned from creating redirects, but otherwise is free to edit and even that ban has probably expired by now. He has himself paid enough penance and he made very many great contributions to Wikipedia, real genuinely good articles and well researched, it is very much a pity that he is not still editing. Si Trew (talk) 00:34, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, I have received a few RfD nominations myself, but have just ignored them (ie. not commented) because I believe that I'm also doing it in good faith.

Well I am not an admin and do not want to be, but I would fully support your being one, you are a good editor and contribute enormously to RfD, I don;t know what other stuff you do because I see you mainly through RfD. Admittedly... you told me off for something that you saw as being hostile to User:AngusWOOF, when I meant it ironically, but you should have done just as another friendly editor because I genuinely could not have seen that it would have been taken seriously, so now I now am a bit more careful in how I put things (though not too careful, I do push it a bit sometimes). I would be a terrible admin because I would be making spot decisions to make Wikipedia into my world-view rather than being dispassive, it is quite hard both to be enthusiastic and passionate about the Wikipedia project and at the same time stand back and say nah, WP:IDONTLIKEIT but it is right. I can do it most of the time but you can do it all of the time. You'd make a great admin. Go for it. Si Trew (talk) 00:54, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Technically I would like user rights to be a bit more refined than just "admin" and "non-admin" essentially. It is an encumbrance to tie up admins with deletion requests, for example, which is why we end up having to have WP:X1 and now WP:X2 and stuff like that, and there was a discussion about allowing non-admins to delete things at RfD, I forget where, but is closed, it went on while I was on my self-imposed Wikibreak over the summer and having read it I can see the pros and cons, but really what the problem is, is that user rights are too coarse-grained and should be enabled more finely so that "poor old trew is allowed to do what he likes on these kinds of things which he knows about, but not on these which he knows nothing about".

• Delete all. There might be something to be said about Australocentrism (like Eurocentrism or US-centrism and so on) and I was going to start to knock up a stub at Australocentrism but beyond a WP:DICDEF and some usages on non-RS such as Twitter feeds I can't find much. There are some references in books but always "in quotes" as "Australocentrism" i.e. that it is not an established word, in those books, but kinda what we would say WP:MADEUP. It's not madeup, it does exist in the wild (or the bush?), but as far as I can see its use in RS is usually simply a mention of the term and not much more, from its obvious meaning of being "Someone who regards Australia as the centre of the Universe" or whatever you want, i.e. a WP:DICDEF. That's fine for Wiktionary but I don't think any good for here. WP:NOTDIC. Wiktionary doesn't have it. It probably should, but that's a job for Wiktionary and I usually cock it up there when I try to add something there. Someone more competent than me can maybe put a request in to have an entry added?

It is all a bit WP:RFD#D5 nonsense, this one, with the slash and so on. Was it just me that spotted that the creator may have been aiming for "barbaric" not "arabic"?

@SimonTrew: We have Barbarism_(linguistics), but not sure if "Barbaric language" is a plausible search term for that. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 06:50, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nice call, thinking about that. I think Fowler uses the exact term "Barbaric language" but I can't remember where (it certainly won't be under a headword, Fowler didn't do it that way). Let me check the woodware. Si Trew (talk) 07:20, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My Fowler (first edition) has "Barbarian, Barbaric, Barbarous" as one headword with two cols including in second para Barbarism, barbarity, barbarousness. All of which Fowler distinguishes in meaning. The next headword is for Barbarism which starts "it is a hard word to fling about, apt to wound feelings; though it may break no bones"... I think best off deleted. WP:NOTDIC after all. The two entries take up three columns so I think Fowler was really rather miffed about these. Si Trew (talk) 07:25, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Quite right. I an rather a prescriptive grammarian meself, bu I couldn't see an article on Barbaric language being anything but WP:NOTDIC or WP:NOTGUIDE. Now I need to follow up where all the ones I linked go, I bet there are a couple of suprises, so expect a couple here. We have Berber and Berber language, but I think that is too far astray. Many people think that moderners have interpreted "Barbar" i.e. someone with a beard as a misinterpretation of "Berber" from the Roman conquests of North Africa. I would spend ages to source that of course but that is a prime source of the confusion. The folk etymology that it meant "People with beards", barbed, I think is largely discounted, it was just a bad translation really. Si Trew (talk) 07:41, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is illegal in Hungary to refuse to go into an ambulance, appparently. So when I still refused, they called the police out. It was just a minor cut that needed a bit of Superglue.

@SimonTrew: This term is clearly used in this form, see [16][17]. Still don't get why anyone would vote to delete this. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 10:26, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever. So are DPPs but we don't have that. I think it should go WP:RFD#K5 Keep someone finds it useful. Champ does. Closer, please mark as ((R from plural)) as suggested and no argument about that. Si Trew (talk) 10:31, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

SimonTrew I've already marked it. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 10:37, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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 Procedurally closed by (non-admin closure) Si Trew (talk) 12:19, 14 October 2016 (UTC). User:Tavix has converted the redirect to a WP:SIA after full discussion at RfD. No longer a redirect, and thanks to Tavix for doing it[reply]

• Štefan → Stephen  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I was holding off on this one becaue of the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#Redirects from foreign languages. Well, now, this is a foreign-language word and it could go

1. to Stephen, its current target, catted as ((R from other language|cz))
2. to Stefan , a (DAB that should be inzstead a ((given name)) but isn't), as ((R from title without diacritics))

• I've drafted an anthroponymy index at the title. I move to close this discussion. -- Tavix ^(talk) 02:24, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I move not to. What about István and all the litle Steves and Stephens who will be left behind? Si Trew (talk) 02:34, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What about them? -- Tavix ^(talk) 02:36, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

they're cognate. Which language do you want to have "Stephen" in> English or every language? {[ec)) but I move not to, the SIA you made below the first redirect is scraped from search results, I imagine. So just let the search engine do it. You let the search engine do it to scrape into the SIA. Believe me, I have about 19 variants of "Stephanie" on Neelix list 4 coming your way. Si Trew (talk) 02:41, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's a name, so an article on the name is standard procedure per MOS:APO. Similar/cognate names go in the see also. -- Tavix ^(talk) 02:47, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Don't see al but two at the "See also" at yorr draft SIA below the redirect. Doesn't say see also István, Istvan, Stephen, Steven, Stephan, Steffen, Stefan. Don't see any of those others in the "see also" section. I also don't see "Štefa" listed in any of the ones I said, in their "see also" sections. Surely, Tavix, you could have added a see also sexction to the other seven and did forty-nine more links to make it nice and neat. I mean, that combinatorial explosion is not beyond a good editor's talents. But I have another thirteen stevens coming your way, so I hope you are ready to make the explosian over a thousand in the "see also"s. Your policy, you do it. Si Trew (talk) 03:04, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And we also have ((R from title with diacritics)). Your bet is that way. I shall wait for others. Your motion is declined by me. Let's get WP:CONSENSUS shall we, that's what we usually try to do. User:BDD, are you up for the gamble? You were gambling on FORREDs earlier but I think I won at the CSD discussion to get them all to RfD. What's your bet, ties pays the dealer. Si Trew (talk) 02:57, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a redirect from a foreign language, it's a name. Here's the difference: if someone's name is Štefan, that's their name no matter what the language. They don't become Stephen or Istvan or Estaban depending on the language. -- Tavix ^(talk) 03:11, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So this is why my friend Karoly in English is known as Charlie? Yes of course names are translated. 06:20, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

• 1) There is a see also section. Here's a link for you: Štefan#See also. 2) If you want those other names listed, go ahead and add them, it's really not that hard. -- Tavix ^(talk) 03:11, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Right so you want me to add essentually a List of cognates of Stephen to the "see also" section every cognate of Stephen? I can, it's not hard, it's just makework and stupid to do that. Presumably you should then like me to do the same for John, David, Peter, Paul.... Si Trew (talk) 07:13, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please. That seems useful to me, I'd love for someone to help out with anthroponymy articles. -- Tavix ^(talk) 21:04, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'd love someone to help me out with the Neelix redirects. I'd also love to win ten billion quid. I still think that adding these to the see alsos is just making it worse, not better. Try combining Steven, Steven, Stephan, Stefan, István into one DAB. Do that, that makes more sense. Not splitting them but combing them. Si Trew (talk) 05:59, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

{@Tavix: that was fun, I really enjoy arguing with you. I am going to close this now because you have made the SIA and it's no longer a redirect, so out of the scope of RfD. It was good fun arguing it though, and I think valuable because we now have a kinda WP:CONSENSUS on what we do with "foreign" name redirects (your saying "It's not a foreign name"). I still disagree, nobody is going in English to write it that way, my wife Mónika in Hungarian is Monika without the accent when she is anywhere other than Hungary, but I lost, you won, on this one, others might feel, but I don't mind that I lose, we have made Wikipedia better. Isn't that what we're all trying to do? Si Trew (talk) 12:16, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
