Delete as misleading. These are redirects to a river, but the non-standard disambiguation may confuse someone into thinking this is a locality by the name. As an aside, the Missouri redirect is wrong, the river is not located in Missouri (see map) -- Tavix (talk) 21:40, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

These are all Eubot versions of originals which contained the same phrase (the article title, or a natural redirect to the article title) in both Cyrillic and Latin alphabets. As can be seen, Eubot Latinized the Cyrillic, creating reduplicated redirects (albeit with varying spellings). All of these seem very implausible; the Marsh na Drinu one has received semi-respectable hits (2 per month), but that's likely just because Marsh na Drinu is a plausible search term. Marsh Na Drinu exists and will take the search box hits if the reduplicated version is deleted.

Intuitively, the originals of this group feel fairly implausible in their own right, but some of them have received surprisingly many hits, which probably makes them keepers. Imago (Имаго), in particular, is at >400 hits in the new tool's DB; Марш на дрину/Marš na Drinu and Весна священная, Vesna svjaščennaja are both around 60 hits.

These are all redirects from faux Cyrillic originals that Eubot mistook for real Cyrillic and transliterated accordingly. All of these are very implausible, and many are also cluttering since they resemble real search terms for unrelated topics. TETIaIS, a similar redirect with a similar history, was deleted in this discussion in January, and the same deletion arguments apply here. Bordt! may be the strongest candidate for non-deletion here; it's received 2-3 hits/month (not much, but something), and the exclamation mark means those hits likely came from readers who were actually looking for the movie. Most others should be easy deletes.

In this group, the originals were (and are) good, valid, intentionally mixed-script redirects from stylized titles and should not be nominated for deletion. Sideways713 (talk) 19:31, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Eubot's Cyrillic-based redirects 3

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 except unbundle "Ruckii" WP:NPASR per discussion. @Sideways713 and Thryduulf: Feel free to nominate "Ruckii" in a new request as you see fit. Deryck C. 09:40, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

These are all redirects created by Eubot from an original mixed-script title that (whether through vandalism or good-faith mistakes) contained both Latin and Cyrillic characters. All of these are very implausible search terms, although Charlotte Brontio has somehow received a significant number of hits (76 in the new tool's DB), including a spike in July. Kion and Anniio Plank is the worst of the worst here, being based on an already deleted original created by a banned user. Tiranio, a similar redirect of similar origin, was deleted in this discussion in December, and the same deletion arguments apply here.

Most of the originals still exist, and I considered nominating them for deletion as well; but they're fairly harmless, generally seem to interfere with searches less than the Eubot ones, and (strangely enough) many of them are former article titles.

No evidence that "states" was ever in the name. Unlikely search term, apparently stems from a hoax. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 19:58, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have a feeling that Bill Bryson states somewhere, in Made in America (book) I would guess, that Colonel Sanders started to become the archetypal Southern Colonel after being granted honorary membership of the Confederate States Air Force at the rank of Colonel. (That rank does not exist in the regular USAF or RAF, I am aware; the article states he was awarded the title of Kentucky colonel, which I believe is indeed the case.) Will check; if he does in fact say Confederate then User:TenPoundHammer's statement of "no evidence" is weakened, but not beyond repair; could have just been a mistake on Bryson's part. Si Trew (talk) 20:24, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Not in Made in America (book). Perhaps I am thinking of Notes from a Big Country, but so far I am on User:TenPoundHammer's side. Can't find that one on my bookshelf right now. Si Trew (talk) 20:31, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
..because I have the American (original) version called I'm a Stranger Here Myself. D'Oh. But I appear to have mislaid that or lent it to someone. Si Trew (talk) 20:33, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Bear in mind also that names are changed sometimes in British editions. That would still be RS but they may have changed the names which is why I may have mixed up US and UK editions and have trouble finding it. It's good if RS, crap otherwise. Dont rely on my say-so on this one. Si Trew (talk) 22:42, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. User:Thryduulf tends to do a lot more checking than I do; I do basic checks as requried, but Thryduulf tends to look into these things. In case of any doubt of WP:COI, which I'm expecting, no more has Thryduulf asked me to say this than Champion has asked me to list Eubot nominations. Facts are still facts, though a hundred times you tell them so. Si Trew (talk) 13:14, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it was Bryson, I am unsure on my facts there. A journalist had a flight over with them, and it may have been P. J. O'Rourke. I've been racking m brains on where I read this because he was took up on an airplane, actually it was a B-52 for the southern confederate airforce, and kinda admired that they had their own airplanes. It may have been the Texas Air Force but referred to it as the Confederate Air Force, I am trying to track that down. Si Trew (talk) 22:39, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
GBook searching isn't turning up a plausible candidate: I get eight hits on the phrase, of which only one is genuine— another alt-hist thing. Mangoe (talk) 14:44, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:RFD#DELETE #10. Redirect from actor's name to article (stub) on one movie he acted in, and that contains no information on the person. Better to have this name be a redlink that might eventually be turned into an article. Xover (talk) 15:54, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have absolutely no idea what is going with this over 10-year-old redirect. It's pointed towards its current target for about 10 years now. The history of the redirect hints that it targets the wrong target, and may be a WP:REDLINK candidate; the subject of the redirect seems to currently hold the Guinness Book of World Records' record for hairiest ears.

The result of the discussion was retarget to Delta Connection with a recommendation to disambiguate when other things named "Delta Connection" or "Delta connection" get separate articles. Deryck C. 10:20, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Not sure) There is an overly long hatnote at the target, and there is also Delta Connection and Delta Connection (Kenya), not sure if the latter is notable or not, but I'm not sure if we should create a disambiguation page or trim the hatnote. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 08:09, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This looks like the wrong target for that redirect (not incorrect, just not the best). We could also use more categorization for Category:AC power and for Category:three-phase AC power, as both are massive topics.
Given that the redirect target is unclear, I'd be happy to see this converted to a disambig. Andy Dingley (talk) 08:53, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Younger Brothers. (non-admin closure) Anarchyte (work | talk) 13:04, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if this should target Birth order since Younger brother redirects there (per WP:DIFFCAPS), or if this redirect should target Younger Brothers, a disambiguation page. Either way, I don't think that the current situation is not helpful since the redirect's title is ambiguous. (For the record, my "vote" is "retarget to Birth order" due to capitalization differences.) Steel1943 (talk) 22:00, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That would be ((R from plural))}. We don't usually distniguish the singular from the plural unless there is good reason to do so. It's not a question of caps, "Brother" and "Brothers" doesn't differ by caps. Little Women and Little Woman both are articles. I don't understand the point here. 22:14, 10 April 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by SimonTrew (talk • contribs)
@SimonTrew: I'm unclear what you mean by "I don't understand the point here." When you say that, are you referring to the current situation of the redirect or are you referring to this nomination? Steel1943 (talk) 22:20, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand why you are unclear why I am unclear. I thought I put it plainly. WP:RCAPS says keep different spellings of the same title together. That would argue for retargeting, but you are after a DAB. Shall we draft a DAB under the R for now, for discussion? Si Trew (talk) 22:56, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@SimonTrew: There's already a DAB at Younger Brothers. Steel1943 (talk) 03:00, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(eubot) Not sure. You should think that Eubot added an E, but in this case, the bot took one away (the second in "praeeem..") I guess from an R from "PraeAEmen" with the ligature. I can't find it on reasonable basic search because it doesn't exist. Si Trew (talk) 21:42, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
