The result of the discussion was speedy keep. Justification provided, withdrawing nomination. (non-admin closure) signed, Rosguill talk 21:37, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned in the target. Searching for the redirect term on Google Scholar returned zero results. I would suggest deletion unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 19:58, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. While that book doesn't appear to make any mention of "Yaoluoge" being equivalent to Qaghan, I see that we have some content in Wikipedia articles that does make that comparison. I'll withdraw this discussion. signed, Rosguill talk 21:36, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 14:45, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No indication that the target article's subject has ever been known by this name, unconventional capitalization aside. I would suggest deletion unless evidence can be provided that this was a name used for this subject. signed, Rosguill talk 19:54, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps as a ((R from misspelling)), otherwise delete. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:33, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
KeepThat doesn't mean someone looking for his article won't use the wrong name. He's Andreas Bessette in Latin, and someone seeing that name on the calendar or in the books might look under Andrew. It's common for saints' names to be translated; John Vianney is better known in English as John, even though his name was Jean, since he was French. The reason for the lower-case b is that many people type search terms in lower case for words normally capitalised, and if the redirect is at Bessette, the lower-case search goes to the search page. PaulGS (talk) 21:38, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
A Google search for "st andrew bessette" turns up numerous churches and schools named for him, using Andrew, not André, and church bulletins listing the saints for the week. Seems common enough that people would search for him under that name. PaulGS (talk) 06:51, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The only two backlinks are from Bruce Schneier and Cryptography newsgroups, both of which are references to books by Schneier, whereas this redirect targets a section about the general concept. LFaraone 13:51, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading redirect. OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences (ISSN 1608-4217) is not Journal of Biological Sciences (ISSN 1812-5719). Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 12:18, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Headbomb, thanks. They are plausible miscapitalizations, but unlike other editors, I'm fine with ignoring whatever rules. I don't see them as particularly likely typos. I'll keep my vote as delete for you. Doug Mehus T·C 02:48, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
They are plausible miscapitalizations of a journal that isn't the Journal of Biological Sciences. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 02:51, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Headbomb, come again? What am I missing here? The current target is The Journal of Biological Sciences.Doug Mehus T·C 02:53, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's the current target. Which isn't The Online Journal of Biological Sciences. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 02:57, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Headbomb, True, but I can see what someone would do, they'd think because it's a digital journal, they need to precede it with "online." However, per WP:CRYSTAL or WP:PANDORA or whatever, we could add redirects for "Internet Journal of Biological Sciences" and even "Interweb Journal of Biological Sciences". Concur with the nom.

Allegations of state terrorism against the United States

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 20:27, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The use of the word "against" kind of throws this redirect into ambiguity compared to other redirects that target United States and state terrorism. The target is about supposed acts that the United States has carried out, but the redirect sounds like its target should be about acts where the United States is the target rather than the actor.

The result of the discussion was retarget to Debate over the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. (non-admin closure) feminist (talk) 12:17, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The target section is not in the target article, and the only mention of the word "Japan" is in an entry in the references section. Maybe retarget it to its former target, Debate over the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Steel1943 (talk) 06:19, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was move Austin Martin (baseball) over the redirect. --BDD (talk) 20:21, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Per Yankees10 in the WP:CSD tag I just declined: "Unnecessary re-direct. There is zero mention of this name on the re-direct target.". It's not a valid reason to WP:CSD, but I do agree that it's a good reason for deletion, so I'm bringing it here. In addition, this redirect may be a WP:BLP issue. Steel1943 (talk) 05:16, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wonder if it could be repurposed to a typo of Aston Martin. Either way, it's a useless redirect its current form, so delete. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 12:30, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguate to Austin Motor Company and Aston Martin per Thryduulf above.

(Friendly ping to Thryduulf, LionMans Account, Headbomb, Yankees10, and Steel1943, as the nom, in light of this new comment and direction.) --Doug Mehus T·C 16:03, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think primary disambiguation is correct here, but if it is then Austin Martin (baseball) needs to be listed. Thryduulf (talk) 16:28, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 20:17, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect was originally an article, and converted to a redirect as a result of an AfD in 2015. While Hallowell was mentioned at the target at the time, since then the Personalities section has been edited to remove mention of individuals who do not meet notability guidelines. Hallowell was specifically removed in 2017 by this IP edit [3]. This redirect has recently been blanked twice, which may have been attempts to delete the redirect. As the article no longer mentions Hallowell, I see no reason to keep this redirect and would suggest deleting it. signed, Rosguill talk 05:13, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was resolved. Thanks to PamD for drafting the name article. Whether Sancha should be created, and its relationship to Sancia, can be dealt with via the normal editorial process. --BDD (talk) 20:13, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not the only person named "Sancia". See Sancia of Majorca. It seems to be a modified version of "Sancha" a name that used to be more common in the Iberian Peninsula. There should be an article on the name "Sancha" and "Sancia" should redirect to it. It should not redirect to an individual person, unless said person is mononymous without qualification.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  02:27, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am the original creator of the redirect, and I don't object to changing it to take into account multiple Sanchas/Sancias with a disambiguation page. I made the redirect many, many years ago because at that time there was no other plausible target I could think of. I do object to this RFD itself, because in this case, it's an unnecessary bureaucratic procedure. You're not asking for the redirect to be deleted, just changed to take into account multiple Sanchas/Sancias, and no one ever stated any objection to the redirect getting changed that way, so in such a case of no-deletion-necessary and no-objections-on-record, you could have just gone ahead and made the change without the need for this unnecessary RFD. —Lowellian (reply) 15:10, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The original creator of Sancia of Majorca in 2007 should have added a redirect from Sancia as this was then the only use of the name in the encyclopedia. When the name "Sancia" was added to the Sancha of Aragon article in 2011 that redirect should have been made into a dab page (instead, the redirect was created at that time). I have now drafted a dab page on the redirect page, including also an opera with an eponymous heroine Sancia di Castiglia. I suggest that we need this dab page instead of the redirect. It's perfectly reasonable to create a redirect from a surname or given name to the unique holder of that name ... and then later to overwrite it by a dab page when another nameholder materialises. Agreed, no need for this to have come to RfD: just update the redirect into a dab page (which is effectively a multiple-choice redirect). PamD 23:44, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
