Delete. The title means ‘comic strip’ in Portugese. The target article is about Brazilian comics specifically, not Portugese-language comics in general, so it is not appropriate. Comic strip is not appropriate either, because the Portuguese language is not especially relevant to the topic of comic strips. Since there is no appropriate target, it should be deleted.

“Quotatif” is not an English word. It is not a Chinese, Japanese, or Korean word either. In fact I can’t find any language in which this word means ‘quotation mark’. So I think it should be deleted. Gorobay (talk) 18:09, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Based on Google results "quotatif" is a French word, and "quoatifs" is the (or a) correct plural for that word, but I can't find what it means - google translate doesn't recognise it, and there is no entry in either English or French Wiktionaries (although the latter does have wikt:fr:Modèle:et-conj-kirjutama-quotatif, which is something to do with Estonian conjugations).

• Manny Taur (Monster High) → List of Monster High characters  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Extremely minor character in Monster High created and re-created by a Long-term sock-evading editor. I couldn't get rid if it with CSD G5. All the notable characters from the franchise have a doll and a profile on the Monster High official website, and would be listed already. This isn't the case for this one. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:38, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment The article has some history upon it. It was edit hijacked into some else's bio, but that person was deemed not notable and deleted. Then the sock editor copy/pasted Monster High wiki page to the article, and that was removed. Any major edits of content since have been from the sock editor in different incarnations. Bottom line is that the article history doesn't need to be preserved. As for whether Monster High characters should have redirects in general, the redirects for Monster High characters should only be for characters that have significant sections in the series as with Frankie Stein, Draculaura or Cleo de Nile, which for right now are the 6 main characters. You're looking at creating potentially 70 characters and 140 redirects for "name" and "name (Monster High)" of which Manny Taur is not even on that list of 70.

It appears ACWC did so at the same time they opened this RfD. In light of which I'd propose that this RfD be procedurally closed, to avoid redundancy/bureaucracy.

From a quick google search it appears that the subject is more notable now than it was when it was redirected (I'm seeing quite a few independent reviews for example).

• note I've added Democratic debates to the nomination as we'll want to do the same thing to both. Thryduulf (talk) 09:26, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Disambig. These redirects were both originally created for the 2008 debates, the Republican one was updated in late 2011 to point to the 2012 debates (there were no Democratic ones that year) and both updated in August/September 2015 to the present 2016 targets. They both get a lot of hits, even continuing after the election is over, so they are obviously useful search terms for their current targets but there may also be other debates about republicans/republicanism and/or democrats/democracy somewhere. My feeling is to disamiguate them between the US part debates for 2008/2012/2016 (and any others there are articles for) an other targets. This would also help prevent links going to the wrong place - I fixed one such at Duncan Hunter presidential campaign, 2008 which was obviously intended for the original target. Thryduulf (talk) 09:36, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Democratic Party presidential debates exists as a potential target (but not the corresponding Republican Party presidential debates). That still doesn't address the global perspective concerns, of course. - Eureka Lott 17:30, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• What would probably be best would be to have these redirect target List of Democratic Party presidential debates and List of Republican Party presidential debates. These lists would list all of the historic party debates but have a link in the infobox to the current electoral cycles' debates (similar to a sports team's current season). The list articles could have hatnotes pointing to other countries' Democratic and Republican parties' debates (which might redirect to the parties themselves if there is no page yet for the debates or the debates are not deemed notable enough for a standalone article). If there are more than three or so parties, the hatnote could link to a dab page. I think this is most appropriate because the US party debates are most likely the primary topic and for what people are looking. The only problem is that someone would need to write the list articles first. –Grondemar 21:45, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• We just might want to do different things to these. To my ears, "democratic debate" sounds like the process of talking things out in a democracy, which might get pluralized. "Republican debate" doesn't sound as natural to me, but might be used in the same way. But even then, those are Wiktionary-style "non-idiomatic phrases" that don't mean anything more than the sum of their parts. I think I'm leaning towards deletion. --BDD (talk) 17:55, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as vague. What's next? Republican press conferences? Also the target is too U.S.-centered.

• Retarget to Democratic Party presidential debates and Republican Party presidential debates, respectively (I'm in the process of drafting the latter article). I'm sympathetic to the disambiguation suggestion, but AFAICT there isn't any content on those debates to link to. -- Tavix ^(talk) 17:16, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Angus and Steel. I think I got too excited to create an article that I forgot to consider that "Republican debates" would encompass other parties and other debates outside of the U.S. Presidential election. For example, according to Republican National Committee chairmanship election, 2011, there was a debate between the candidates for the RNC chair. This seems way too vague to dabify/SIAfy/listify, but I'd love to see someone try. -- Tavix ^(talk) 17:35, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget per Tavix: the suggested target articles serve as general overviews and link to all the relevant articles, so a dab page would be superfluous. If there's a place on wikipedia that treats the French debates then it could be linked from a hatnote. – Uanfala (talk) 01:55, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • On second thoughts, I agree that these titles are too general and vague so had better be deleted. Republican Party presidential debates will still be easily found by readers as it appears at the top of the search results. – Uanfala (talk) 21:05, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget, thx Tavix for creating Republican Party presidential debates, which solved the issue elegantly. — JFG ^talk 02:43, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete both. One reason: In the United States (and probably most other countries that have similar elections), debates aren't exclusive to the United States presidential election. Such debates could happen at any primary election including governor, mayor, senator, etc. In addition, due to the complexity of these titles, I could see them becoming WP:SIAs, but not disambiguation pages.

I didn't see that any of the redirect targets worked well.  I also checked on Google books and Google news and see that the twins as a group continue to attract media attention in 2016.  "First twins" gets coverage, but doesn't seem to get as much as "Bush twins".

• The problem then and now is good factoring.  The problem then was the bundling of two distinct topics into one article.  The problem now is that there is no good place to discuss the smaller topic of the Bush twins as a group.  I say discuss, because we've also tried a dab page without success.  This is a separate topic that needs to be defined.  I suppose you could create a subsection at "Bush family".  Unscintillating (talk) 16:51, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget per BDD. No sense in restoring the old twin article, these two aren't THAT notable. Nohomersryan (talk) 18:20, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• I suppose I'm making the division worse here, but I stand by the idea that we should just get rid of these redirects. The individuals have a particular notability by themselves. I don't believe that we should necessarily lump them together. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 14:21, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  But who's doing the "lumping"? This isn't arbitrary, like us redirecting Tiffany and Barron Trump to Donald Trump#Family. Barbara and Jenna Bush were frequently discussed together, which is not surprising, given that they're twins. That said, Wikipedia remains inconsistent in its treatment of such pairs. See Talk:Winklevoss twins for an unsuccessful attempt I made to sort it all out. --BDD (talk) 14:33, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• The news media may have lumped them together more often because they are twins. Being at the same stage in life means they're doing similar things.— Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 21:15, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think it matters why the media have lumped them together, only that they frequently have. Thryduulf (talk) 15:06, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Friday and Saturday, US news channels, including NBC Today show, ABC Friday evening news, CNN, WSJ, Washington Post, and Time were talking about and showing pictures of the Bush twins for a letter they sent.  Next to the top on Google News right now there is "The Hindu" article on "Bush twins write heartfelt letter to Obama sisters".  "First twins" also got coverage, such as "Sasha (15) en Malia (18) kennen de Bush-tweeling al langer. ... Deze keer willen de voormalige "First Twins" de Obama's dan ook gepast ..." in the VRT Nieuws‎.  Doing a WP:BEFORE D1 on Google books for "Bush twins" on the first page shows books ranging from 2001 to 2016, with snippets such as 2007, "For instance, the controversial Bush twins' speaking role at the Republican convention was covered frequently by cable news providers, and they were lambasted by a number of commentators."  Like I said, I suppose this could also be done in a section at Bush family.  Unscintillating (talk) 02:27, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Restore as an article and point the other redirects to that per Unscintilating. They are notable individually but they are also notable together so we need three articles (in exactly the same way that we have articles on Bee Gees as well as Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb and Maurice Gibb), ditto The Corrs, Brothers Grimm, and countless others where people are notable both together and separately. There is no significant coverage of them in the Bush family article so that is not as good as a separate article. Thryduulf (talk) 18:04, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment in regard to restoration as an article - All of the examples provided above have done very notable things together. The Corrs made music together; the Brothers Grimm authored together. Barbara and Jenna Bush haven't done anything that rises to that level; no more than, for example, Malia and Sasha Obama have. I fear this would be a dangerous precedent to set, as it is common for the news media to refer to siblings as groups in the manner Unscintillating provides examples of above, which could spawn many other sibling group articles (below the "family" level) consisting of individuals that lack notable accomplishments together. This makes me think of Wikipedia:Notability is not inherited, but that isn't really applicable to what I'm trying to express. If only an article like Family of Barack Obama (with a section like Malia Obama and Sasha Obama custom tailored to this kind of redirect) existed for George W. Bush, so we could retarget these there. — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 18:38, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well if you want to merge Unscintillating's article draft to the Bush family article then I'm not sure I'd go against that, but as it might be a bit undue I'd want the opinions of the editors of that article before an actual merge. Thryduulf (talk) 20:57, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's something to consider. I'd thought of that as an option myself, however, I didn't make that suggestion because it doesn't fit with the style of that article.— Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 21:09, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yeah, I don't really think it fits either which is why my first choice is restoration of the article. As to not doing notable things together, they did when they were children and they still do occasionally today, e.g. the letter to Obama's daughters. Most important however is that they were notable as a pair, and that pairing remains notable (notability is not temporary) even if its mostly historical these days, so the article or section about them as a pair is what best suits our readers. Thryduulf (talk) 15:06, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Convert to set index (or dabify) for now - George W. Bush is currently a Good Article. Adding the section about the Twins may or would affect the article's GA status unless I'm wrong. The George Jr. article may need major improvements, even as a Good Article. I read Barbara Bush (born 1981) and Jenna Bush Hager; merging both is impossible as both are separately, independently notable. Id est restoring back to an article might risk duplicating both articles unless people agree to merge both articles. George Ho (talk) 00:31, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Next Alberta Senate nominee election → Alberta Senate nominee election, 2012  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete. 2012 is long gone, and neither the current target nor Alberta Senate nominee elections have any information about future elections, although the latter article does imply it should happen in 2018 previous ones have been rescheduled. In the absence of a good target I favour deletion. Thryduulf (talk) 00:50, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Since the Reference Re Senate Reform, these elections would require extensive constitutional amendments to re-implement, which seems highly unlikely. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 17:03, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Patar knight. Can always be recreated when one is confirmed. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:32, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
