The result of the discussion was keep. The arguments for usefulness are convincing. -- Tavix (talk) 00:54, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unsure that this redirect is necessary since someone searching for this title would already have typed and been pointed towards Bernard Lafferty. Home Lander (talk) 23:16, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

While we do have ((R from sort name)), are these worth it? We don't have Dillard, Tramar and that isn't his common name. And even if you were to make a sort name of his stage name (e.g., Rida, Flo), which is questionable, one of these has a capitalization error and the other has a hyphen, which really ruins the point of a sort name. --BDD (talk) 19:02, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy delete per G7. -- Tavix (talk) 21:26, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

While this is Flo Rida's actual middle name, it's not a common way of referring to him. It also appears to be the name of a Brazilian dairy group. We've typically deleted First-Middle name combinations as redirects due to their being implausible synonyms, so I think the argument here is even stronger.

The result of the discussion was Delete both. Ruslik_Zero 20:39, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am unable to confirm that this plant is known by this name. If not, probable delete. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:40, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Uanfala: Do you have an English-language source calling Polianthes tuberosa "bone flower"? That might help resolve this discussion. -- Tavix (talk) 00:19, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I remember seeing quite a few gbooks results, but I'm not sure if there were any that use "bone flower" as a term of reference by itself (as opposed to just the meaning of the Nahuatl term/s). The latter are common, and there is one that has been added to the article, but I'm not sure this is what you're after. – Uanfala 08:06, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural decay

[edit]

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 retarget to Decadence. -- Tavix (talk) 00:53, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of this term in the target article, so no indication of relevance of the redirect. PamD 22:17, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The Cultural diversity article states that monoculturalism is "cultural decay", analogical to how multiculturalism is "cultural diversity". From the article: "Cultural diversity is the quality of diverse or different cultures, as opposed to monoculture, the global monoculture, or a homogenization of cultures, akin to cultural decay." I have edited the Monoculturalism article to reflect this in both articles. 93 22:25, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New Yorke

[edit]

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 no consensus. We can't agree on anything here. Some say "New Yorke" is a plausible misspelling of "New York"; others disagree. Some say the two titles should point to the same location; others say WP:SMALLDIFFS apply. Some say the HP "New-Yorke" model is worth keeping a redirect for; others say it isn't. I don't see strong arguments or any consensus swinging one way or another. Deryck C. 14:16, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this as unlikely misspelling; New-Yorke (with hyphen) was redirected to HP Saturn#New-Yorke per discussion — JFG talk 01:41, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think New Yorke is a likely misspelling for New-Yorke, and I would prefer to keep it but redirect it to HP Saturn#New-Yorke. Tea2min (talk) 09:13, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Good catch, Tea2min, I hadn't noticed that one. Actually, "HP New-Yorke" makes perfect sense as a likely search term for this admittedly obscure HP product; does no harm at that title. Knowing this, I would now move to delete both "New Yorke" and "New-Yorke". — JFG talk 15:50, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly not! It would be mindless to destroy carefully constructed and established infrastructure elsewhere not interfering with the restructuring of the New York disambiguation page at all. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 21:34, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
--Matthiaspaul (talk) 21:34, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
While "Yorke" is a bona fide old English spelling of "York", "New Yorke" is not a likely misspelling of "New York". As the processor prototype is correctly addressed by HP New-Yorke, we should delete "New Yorke" and "New-Yorke" which only cause confusion in search results. — JFG talk 22:33, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dried citrus peel

The result of the discussion was No consensus. Ruslik_Zero 20:23, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think this redirect can be misleading. Many dishes utilize dried citrus peel and Zest (ingredient) can also be dry. Classicwiki (talk) (ping me) 00:00, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Because this discussion was listed in June, I read and re-read this discussion several times to attempt to ascertain consensus, but could not determine a solution. However, in my opinion, in the discussion's current state, closing the discussion to "no consensus" with no changes made may actually be against consensus; there seems to be consensus for change, but at the present time, I'm not finding consensus for a specific change. I hope that another 7+ days higher on the RfD board will help consensus, but I am not sure. (But, of course, if anyone disagrees with my stance on this, feel free to close this discussion early per WP:RELIST.)

The result of the discussion was procedural close. I've converted this into a list article, similar to a few existing lists for other states. --BDD (talk) 21:03, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A redirect about fire depts in all of Virginia should not redirect to that of one county. —azuki (talk · contribs · email) 12:57, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

Delete. No mention of Hinduism at the target, nor at Religion in Greenland, nor at Greenland#Religion. Someone searching this is not going to be able to learn about (the lack of) Hinduism in Greenland, and would end up confused or disappointed. -- Tavix (talk) 02:03, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
