Teslarati, a fansite, isn't discussed in the target (though it is cited), and I don't see much scope for any such discussion to be added, so the reader who searches this will be left none the wiser as to what it is. I haven't been able to find any other articles that discuss it (though, again, several articles cite it), so there are no obvious alternative targets.

• Comment, I think Teslarati is probably a valid news site in the way the online news sites operate these days, albeit with a narrow-ish focus on SpaceX and EVs in general and Tesla etc. I have seen a number of news events covered my Teslatrai reporters first, ahead of other media. Having said that, a redirect to Tesla, Inc. doesn't make much sense as the news site is certainly not something that is operated by or the responsibility of Tesla, Inc. So unless someone creates a valid stub article for Teslarati that meets the general notability criteria with some coverage in other news media, then I'd be fine with the current redirects going away.

Useless cross-namespace redirect. The user created this redirect in 2008 as a redirect.

Soft redirect to 1, to remove it the subject redirect as a "redirect to this page" in the "Page Information" for "1". This would be an ideal alternative to deletion. Doug Mehus T·C 23:21, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy keep/nomination withdrawn. Per the added links and rationale by Xionbox, which expands on the rationale of WhatamIdoing, I'm more satisified now than I was when I first nominated this that there's likely little WP:XY issue between whether this should target to United States customary units or Imperial units.

• Fred Flintstone Units → United States customary units  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Not mentioned in the current target. Per my before procedures, I couldn't find any other suitable targets related to The Flintstones television series and film franchise. I tend to think we don't really know, definitively, what a "Fred Flintstone unit" is. It could be, conceivably, an Imperial unit, a Metric unit, the current United States customary unit, or some other measurement (i.e., Fred Flintstone's foot, perhaps?—the length of which we do not know). Without a mention in the target, ideally sourced by some sort of verification (including in primary sources), I think it's an WP:XY and WP:R#D2 thing and deletion is probably best. In terms of usage, it had 28 pageviews in the preceding twelve month period to yesterday, so per WP:R#D8, there's little to no utility or usefulness to this redirect. Thus, I'm recommending delete unless valid alternative option(s) are specified. Doug Mehus T·C 22:57, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Conditional delete. If there's such a thing as a "Flintstone foot" at all (is there?) I guess it could redirect to List of humorous units of measurement. Otherwise delete. Dondervogel 2 (talk) 23:10, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  I'm changing my !vote to keep. I am convinced by the arguments of WhatamIdoing and Xionbox, and by these Metric System faqs. Dondervogel 2 (talk) 17:32, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@WhatamIdoing: Thanks. That's reasonable, but still, there's the WP:XY issue on where to target. It shouldn't be targeted to United States customary units, I think, but rather either (a) Imperial units (if we add this reliable source mention there, which we could easily) or (b) List of humorous units of measurement (preferably with this reliable source mention). Given the humourous nature, I'm inclined to think the latter suggested by Dondervogel 2 would be better. Doug Mehus T·C 12:07, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@WhatamIdoing: is correct. The term refers specifically to the US customary units, which isn't a humorous system of measurements. It's a pejorative term to refer to these units, and sporadically used in the aerospace industry (which relies mostly on the metric system in the US). The FFU disambiguation page also had this redirect with an explanation up until October 2016: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=FFU&type=revision&diff=743544445&oldid=739877520 .

• USCU → United States customary units  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Noticed this redirect pointed to United States customary units, but I thought the abbreviation USCU would more commonly refer to a United States-based organization or corporation and, as it turns out, the U.S. Central Credit Union, commonly abbreviated as USCU or USFCU, seem like a more appropriate target so I'm recommending retarget-ing to U.S. Central Credit Union, with a one- or two-way hatnote as applicable. Note that CU is an internationally-recognized abbreviation for Credit Union. In turn, U.S. Central Credit Union was the central back-office credit union, which serviced credit unions regulated by and belonging to the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). Doug Mehus T·C 22:40, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Disambiguate. There's also University of South Carolina Union and University of South Carolina Upstate (not mentioned in our article, but it's used - link).

I would be likely to accept an argument that U.S. Central Credit Union is WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. Narky Blert (talk) 18:05, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Narky Blert: I suppose I'm not opposed to disambiguation here, as we do have three potential disambiguation page links. That said, though, since the two University of South Carolina articles are related to each other, one would be subordinate to the other, so we really only have two disambiguation links. We also have United States customary units, that's true, but couldn't we take the WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT argument for USCU, add hatnotes on the University of South Carolina page(s), and then create a separate UScu redirect for United States customary units per WP:DIFFCAPS? Doug Mehus T·C 18:10, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• I don't like the notion of "primary" topics very much (except for in very clear-cut cases), therefore I would suggest to use a disambiguation page for disambiguation rather than to disambiguate via hatnotes. In particular as this is about an abbreviation, it is extremely likely that there will be more than two or three entries over time. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 12:13, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Nom Comment I'm not opposed to disambiguating per the above, without prejudice, of course, to potentially retargeting to U.S. Central Credit Union, boldly or with a subsequent discussion on the applicable talk pages or at RfD with a primary redirect that Narky mentioned above, at some point in the not immediate future.

• Freedom unit → United States customary units  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Similar to the the RfD discussion, this redirect seems to be a silly neologism with no reliable, independent source verification. In terms of common usage, it doesn't seem to have common usage outside of online message boards like Stack Exchange. I didn't want to interrupt the existing RfD discussion and have to ping everyone for approval to add this one, so am starting a separate discussion. While we don't necessarily have to have reliable, independent source verification of information for redirects, this redirect is still problematic per WP:XY and WP:R#D2 in that it's vague, ambiguous, and confusing, and could potentially refer to multiple potential things/targets. Per WP:R#D8, it's only got 40 pageviews for the twelve months to yesterday (the day before it was nominated). So, that's showing only the most marginal level of utility and usefulness. Delete, unless valid justification is provided or alternatives suggested. ^Amended Doug Mehus T·C 22:16, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Per Freedom units. Dondervogel 2 (talk) 22:34, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Narky Blert: How come not "per nom" as well? Is my rationale per WP:R#D2/WP:XY not the same thing? As for your latter point, I completely agree! I hadn't thought of freedom fighters. ;-) Doug Mehus T·C 23:17, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

But that would be "freedom fighter units" or "fight units". I couldn't find "freedom unit" being used as a synonym for this, only for "US customary units". --Matthiaspaul (talk) 23:51, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily, as Narky Blert explained, a freedom unit could refer, potentially, to unit of freedom fighters just as freedom units could refer to multiple units of freedom fighters. Doug Mehus T·C 23:59, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Being an advocate of the metric system I find the term just as "stupid" and "backwards" as others, however, we are not here to judge if a term is "proper" or not. It is out there and actively being used by some (with Google I can find it being used in numerous net outlets within minutes, f.e. [1][2][3][4]). Therefore we, as an encyclopedia, have the very duty to educate our readers about it. This starts by helping those who run into the term somewhere and redirect them to the proper term and article about "US customary units" in order to give them a chance to leave their information bubble and start to use the proper terminology. In order to not give the term undue weight, I don't think we should discuss it at the target page, but this is not a requirement for redirects. I don't see WP:R#D2 and WP:R#D8 applying, it is not vague, ambiguous, or confusing, but specifically refers to US customary units, and it is not in the way to another article or redirect. 40 hits? Well, so the redirect already helped about 40 people. If it is of concern that the term shows up in the index, we might add ((R from misnomer)) to it, so that noone in WP will start linking to it and it remains unprintworthy. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 23:40, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Matthiaspaul: I get the desire to keep this redirect and, while it's true we don't need to have reliable source coverage to "keep" redirects in place, we need to have some sourcing which indicates (a) it's got fairly common usage and that (b) it doesn't ambiguously refer to two or more potential things (b being the more important of the two things). Unless you can provide sourcing, beyond a few online message boards threads, that this is a misnomer, as you suggest, to refer to United States customary units and not, say, Imperial units (since the U.S. also uses the Imperial system), it becomes an WP:XY thing in that it could refer to multiple potential targets. Similarly, because of the above potential colloquial reference to U.S. freedom fighters, it's also ambiguous and potentially confusing per WP:R#D2. Disambiguation would be an option, if we had multiple English Wikipedia articles which referenced this term. I'm not seeing that, so can't support retaining this redirect, unfortunately.

Latinish, a rare word, means 'Latin-like' ('of the nature of Latin' according to the OED, but there are current uses where the Latin is that of Latino).

  PamD's new list is an excellent solution, and it's consistent with the first preference of my nomination (that's why I assumed there was no need for me to add an explicit vote now). I'm not keen on withdrawing as we've got a clear consensus for retargeting (and an outcome of explicit "retarget" is preferable to one of "withdrawn"), so I'd wait for a bit, and if no passer-by closes this in a bit, I'll be happy to make an WP:INVOLVED WP:SNOW close. – Uanfala (talk) 21:10, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Noted, and I agree this target is a better target. Doug Mehus T·C 20:01, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment (was Keep) Per WP:R#K5 as ((R from misspelling)) as it has 68 pageviews from the preceding twelve months, to yesterday (before its nomination). We've kept similar redirects with quite a bit less pageviews. Sony used to have the film licensing rights for the Marvel franchise, and still shares with Disney some rights to some of the franchises, so "Sony's Marvel Universe" is a very plausible search term. Unviverse, too, is an equally plausible misspelling. In short, it's harmless and at least a bit useful. Doug Mehus T·C 20:00, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • ...Nope, Unviverse doesn't exist and shouldn't. (If it was such a likely misspelling, it would have been created at some point during Wikipedia's existence of almost two decades.) Having redirects such as the nominated redirect where one random part of the phrase is misspelled whereas the rest is spelled properly is WP:COSTLY. And the page views are most likely someone clicking this redirect on the search bar because it appeared when they started typing "Sony's Marvel"; this redirect unnecessarily clutters the Wikipedia search bar. All and all, it's more problematic that it is helpful, especially considering than its target is the properly-spelled version, letter-for-letter. Steel1943 (talk) 20:05, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    I disagree that it "clutters the Wikipedia search bar." The search bar is separated into two parts: in the first part, it is a list of bolded article titles (including redirects) that match the string entered; in the second part, it is a "contains query" part, which searches the full text of Wikipedia articles. It is very easy to search within the latter part. If it were the case that redirects were just cluttering up the search bar, we wouldn't have most redirects, I'd argue. Doug Mehus T·C 20:17, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    ...Well, if you care to start listing off some of those redirects, I'll happily nominate them for deletion for the same reason I'm nominating this one. Steel1943 (talk) 20:19, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Most should be listed under the category from ((R from misspelling)), among others. ;-) Doug Mehus T·C 20:20, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    (edit conflict) Also, "clicking a misspelling in a search bar" does not equal "usefulness", especially if the correctly spelled version appears as well. It just proves that it was clicked for the reason alone that it exists. Seriously, I wager that if this redirect was deleted, the page views would disappear. Steel1943 (talk) 20:22, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    @Steel1943: Sure, I'll take that bet, but let's keep it a friendly bet. If this redirect is deleted and in a year, it still has at least 50% of the pageviews as before, you will invoke WP:IAR (technically, not needed as there are no enforced rules regarding the service awards) and award me Grandmaster Editor (or Grand High Togneme Vicarus) earlier than the edit requirement. If, however, the pageviews fall to less than, say, whatever's reasonable, I will do whatever you wish of me. Doug Mehus T·C 20:34, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    FTR you can't view pageviews of pages that don't exist. J947 ^(c), at 23:52, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    @J947: You're right about that. But you know ... I think the page view tool showed page views for nonexistent pages before the update a few years back ... which may be what I was basing my previous comment on. (IMO, the previous version of the page view tool was a lot more helpful.) Either way though, I'm sure the princess process for viewing the page view statistics for nonexistent titles could be acquired somehow. Steel1943 (talk) 02:12, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Steel1943 Interesting points on the previous version of the pageviews tool, but sorry, can you clarify what you mean by princess? That's got me confused. Doug Mehus T·C 02:15, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Implausible misspelling. I don't care how many views it has had, it's still an implausible misspelling. We don't need to (and should not) have redirects for every possible typo someone might come up with. Narky Blert (talk) 21:03, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  @Narky Blert: And how do you objectively assess what is a plausible or implausible misspelling? The term is notoriously vague and can mean different things. To my view, the only way to assess plausibility is on pageviews. Doug Mehus T·C 21:21, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  We don't have the redirects unviverse, unviversal or unviversality, and quite right too. This is useless junk. Narky Blert (talk) 21:30, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Okay, fair enough. I see that we don't have any redirect misspellings beginning with -unvi, so that may be true. I'm going to wait to see what J947 says, though, if he or she says anything. Meantime, I'll change to a comment. Doug Mehus T·C 23:03, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per RHARMFUL, which says: Therefore consider the deletion only of either harmful redirects or of recent ones. My opinion on plausibility in RfDs is that it is all relative to the number of pageviews a redirect receives. Redirects are here to help the readers; and what the readers want is most adequately represented by pageviews. With the search-bar argument, I could argue an equally potent argument by saying that this redirect is helpful because it gives more space in the search results for Sony's Marvel Universe (which is what you're going to be searching for if "Sony's M" is what you have typed). It's completely harmless and demonstrably helpful. J947 ^(c), at 18:57, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, worthless redirect that should have been deleted the day it was created. —Xezbeth (talk) 21:26, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. I think the above illustrates why page views should not be used to determine the usefulness of redirects. Page views do not tell you that x people were helped by a redirect, simply that it was viewed x times (and potentially not all of those views may be human). And page views should certainly not be used to try to obtain service awards that have not been "earned". -- Tavix ^(talk) 21:56, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, we do not need to have redirects for every conceivable spelling mistake. One, because readers are not stupid, they can spot and fix a simple spelling error; two, redirects may be cheap, but no so much as to encourage creation of bazillions of potential spelling errors; three, readers are not stupid; four, human time is not cheap, and maintaining these take time (I am aware this one is somewhat circular reasoning); five, and foremost, readers are not stupid!

• Wikipedia:RFL → User:Zhaofeng Li/reFill  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Noticed this shortcut, with less than a handful of inlinks, which could easily be updated or piped, but I think this shortcut is woefully ambiguous per WP:R#D2, potentially confusing, and also an WP:XY thing. It could, potentially, refer to, but not limited to, ((reflist)) (whose RFL and Rfl shortcuts closed as "delete" on similar grounds), or to WP:RFFL/WP:RLOTE. Similar to WP:FORRED, I am recommending delete-ing this shortcut, updating the ~4-5 inlinks, and nipping this in the bud (or is it butt?) before it becomes too wildly used and we can't delete or retarget. Doug Mehus T·C 14:44, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment It's even fewer than first thought. Excluding the bot-created pages for tracking this RfD, there's only two, maybe three, instances of this shortcut. The other two or three are just wikitables that track whether a shortcut is in use as a page, as a redirect, or not in use. So those wouldn't need to be updated. In short, it's simply unused, and we should delete it, possibly with Sysop brand salt so as to ensure consensus is used to establish where best to target it. Doug Mehus T·C 14:58, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SALT is only used for things that are repeatedly recreated. Your salting suggestion would be a blatant misuse of that function. -- Tavix ^(talk) 23:44, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as ambiguous.
  SSSB (talk) 17:32, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I can't think of anything sensible RFL might stand for in Wikipedia space. Narky Blert (talk) 19:27, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, WP:RFFL, which was just renamed, by the way, following consensus to do so, and it already has three official shortcuts and one deprecated one. It doesn't need another one. But it would be the most logical target. But, it, too, is still ambiguous; hence why I thought salt protection could be useful. Doug Mehus T·C 19:43, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, it's short for REFILL. Shortcuts are usually ambiguous because they are meant to be, well, short—if we delete shortcuts for being ambiguous we would not have many shortcuts remaining. -- Tavix ^(talk) 23:31, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's true, to a certain extent, but for a user script, it's woefully being under-utilized for a three-letter shortcut. It would be better to establish community consensus more broadly on where this shortcut could be used. Since it's not being used outside of one or two userpages/user talk pages, it seems appropriate to repurpose it before it becomes more broadly used. Doug Mehus T·C 23:35, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And I disagree that it should be repurposed. If the redirect becomes more broadly used, then the shortcut is doing its job. -- Tavix ^(talk) 23:44, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Disambiguate (drafted below the redirect). That solves any possible confusion while not breaking the few links to this title (thus, we don't have to update them as well). I also strongly oppose salting as that is premature; this hasn't been deleted once yet. Glades12 (talk) 07:37, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, and I agree with you and Tavix that salt protection should normally only be used for repeatedly recreated pages, but my thinking was that since we have no rules, we could form consensus on an exception basis to use salt protection in order to decide how best to use the redirect, as part of a larger community process. Nevertheless, while my preferred option is deletion per the above, I can support your disambiguation proposal as an alternate option, if that's what others prefer. Thank you. Doug Mehus T·C 13:03, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:BOLD, that's not how consensus works... For what it's worth, I oppose disambiguation, because then it would cease to be useful as a shortcut. -- Tavix ^(talk) 02:07, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding disambiguation, though, we have 152 disambiguation pages for Wikipedia project namespace shortcuts at Category:Wikipedia disambiguation pages. Many are two- and three-letter shortcuts just like WP:RFL, including, but by no means limited to, WP:WPL. Doug Mehus T·C 02:14, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or Retarget. If the ReFill script is not worth this shortcut, then send it to WP:Reflist or WP:RFFL. We can always add hatnotes to the tops of the articles to make it clear in case somebody typed in the shortcut expecting to go somewhere else. There are definite possibilities for where this redirect could go. I also oppose disambiguation per Tavix, for that would cause the redirect's function as a shortcut to be negated. I see no problems with this being a shortcut to the ReFill tool, though. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 14:33, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or weak disambiguate. Either keep because this is a shortcut redirect with incoming links in the "Wikipedia:" namespace (so thus deletion is harmful since it breaks incoming links), or disambiguate if there really is a proven need to disambiguate (which I currently don't see.) Either way ... "strong oppose deletion". Steel1943 (talk) 20:14, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, or more radically, move User:Zhaofeng Li/reFill to Wikipedia:ReFill as this tool seems to be used by a fair number of editors. Disambiguation is also a plausible solution. Deryck C. 17:38, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I note there's a number of variant capitalizations and punctuations of PB as redirects targeted there. Even to peanut butter, it's an WP:XY thing, so it's ambiguous per WP:R#D2.

• Keep; it has got a huge number of pageviews so we can reasonably assume that there are external links pointing here. WP:R#K4 and WP:R#K5 both apply to major extents; K4 in particular says: For example, redirects resulting from page moves should not normally be deleted without good reason. J947 ^(c), at 19:26, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment for J947 I tend to think most of those pageviews were Wikipedia visitors visiting the page following its move. I'd like to see the pageviews for Nindu Manasulu. I agree it's a reasonable misspelling and, to be honest, it probably was a happy accident that it was a typo in Kailash29792's page move. Someone else likely would've created it. WP:R#K4 is a weak rationale here in that this was only a recently-created page move; thus, any external links would be bot updated and thus be bot updated if deleted. There's likely a strong case for WP:R#K5 here, but I'd prefer to take a
  keep and wait approach as you did in another RfD. Nevertheless... Doug Mehus T·C 19:50, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural move from an RfC discussion at a talk page in which editor Bait30 asked the following question, "Should this redirect target (a) Metal Hammer, (b) Classic Rock (magazine), or (c) neither? (same goes for LouderSound and Loudersound.com)"? For what it's worth, I am officially neutral until I've taken a position, if I take a position. Doug Mehus T·C 17:13, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• I created a couple of the redirects. I don’t really care where they target - they’re all interconnected - I’m only against outright deletion. Here’s the About Us page for consideration. Sergecross73 msg me 00:02, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I'm still decidedly neutral, but some observations, and I thank the creator Sergecross73 for the URL and insight...it seems that Louder is the publisher of these two magazines, so the question becames, to where do we target these, that is, to which magazine? In the case of loudersound.com, that can probably be kept as ((R from domain name)), assuming we have a suitable target. In terms of the others, since neither is an actual name for this publisher and because the term is somewhat ambiguous, I'm personally uncertain on what is best here. Doug Mehus T·C 00:11, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think it’s actually Future Publishing that does the publishing. LouderSound is more like...the umbrella term for their music topic areas. It’s all kind of confusing though, especially because they keep changing, rebranding, and renaming things too, due to financial issues. Team Rock was another one in the mix, which I think was the prior name for Louder. Sergecross73 msg me 00:25, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, if that's the case, I'd be more inclined to target to the parent publisher then as there's an WP:XY thing between these two publishers. The remaining question becomes whether there are other "Louder Sound"(s), at least in that capitalization. I tend to think not, though Louder sound would be a candidate for targeting to either Loudness or Louder probably per WP:DIFFCAPS. Doug Mehus T·C 14:31, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Fists pounding on the table Delete per WP:R#D8 because there were only 3 pageviews in the 12 months to yesterday, one of which was the redirect's creator and the other of which would've been the nominator of this redirect for discussion. It's simply unused. More importantly, though, this cross-namespace redirect is harmful for at least two reasons: (1) it's occupying a potential article title, potentially a broad-concept article, so deletion per WP:R#10 to encourage article creation carries a lot of weight and (2) readers/patrons, not familiar with Category: namespace, may appear confused as to where they are, so there's a potential WP:R#D2 case as well. Doug Mehus T·C 16:29, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comida → Food  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Spanish term not mentioned in article PamD 11:54, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This is a term with a clear translation in English. I see no reason to delete the redirect. Interstellarity (talk) 13:27, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: there are no suitable targets. Food (which is what Spanish comida means) is not a suitable target – Wikipedia:Redirects in languages other than English explains why (Interstellarity, this is the implied rationale for the other nominations as well). – Uanfala (talk) 13:58, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Tarea → Homework  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Spanish word for homework, but no mention in the target article and we do not provide redirects for all translations of titles. PamD 11:46, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguate - Agree with others as page creator. Interstellarity (talk) 22:20, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a term with a clear translation in English — it has multiple possible translations, as in es:Fuerza de Tarea Conjunta de Paraguay (which does not mean "Joint Homework Force of Paraguay").

• Crich Cualann → Cualu  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

No mention of "crich" in target article. No WP article on Crich (apart from Derbyshire village) which would show why this is a likely search term (eg if it was a term for a kind of territory). PamD 11:44, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw - see below. PamD 19:16, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Crích is an old Irish term for border or borderlands, or a territory in general. Oxford Reference Sheila1988 (talk) 11:45, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Rathdown Castle, where it's mentioned (and remove the link in that article). Narky Blert (talk) 13:56, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as an ((R from alternative name)) per Sheila1988 and the fact that the term is well attested (as evident by a search on google books). My assumption is that Crich Cualann is not a different entity from Cualu. Rathdown Castle is by no means a suitable target: the fact that this happens to be the only article currently mentioning this precise form of the name is entirely incidental (and the Crich Cualann referred to there is the same one as the topic of Cualu). – Uanfala (talk) 14:11, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• @Sheila1988: Could you please either add a note somewhere in the article referring to this term, or maybe create Crich (Irish term) or something like that, to explain it, for the sake of non-Irish-speakers unfamiliar with it? Thanks. PamD 18:47, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• OK, I've now created Crich (disambiguation): had I found it, with the link to Wiktionary, I probably wouldn't have nominated this for RfD. I think all the entries are just-about justifiable, so it's a valid little dab page. So happy now to Withdraw the nomination. (But my request to @Sheila1988: stands: as you've got that nice little source for it as an alternative name, please add it to the article. Thanks.) PamD 19:16, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Non-involved Comment Pinging @Narky Blert, Uanfala, and Sheila1988:, can all of you see PamD's added request? It seems she has created a disambiguation page, though it's unclear whether this request would be withdrawn as "speedy keep" or as "speedy retarget" to the new disambiguation page. Nevertheless, this can't be done whilst conflicting !votes are outstanding. This is not to suggest your !votes in any way need to change, but rather to encourage you to consider the new developments. Thanks. Doug Mehus T·C 21:57, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There's no hurry. This RFD was posted less than 12 hours ago. I can see no reason for truncating the usual 168 hours (7 days). Narky Blert (talk) 22:00, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Narky Blert: Nevertheless, I thought it was important for you to consider the updated comments, particularly Uanfala's response to you on retargeting. Doug Mehus T·C 23:24, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Freedom units → United States customary units  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

FYI

 – PamD, Dondervogel 2, Jc3s5h, erkinalp9035, Shhhnotsoloud, Narky Blert, please see the related RfD discussion for the singular version. I did not want to interrupt this discussion by requesting to combine them, so felt fyi pointers were more helpful.

No mention in target article. Edit summary on creation of redirect asserts "freedom units is a common alternative name for US measurement system". Googling suggests it does exist as a US meme, but there's no point redirecting to nonexistent content. Add the info, with a reliable source, and then create the redirect. PamD 11:30, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I've only ever heard this term used on Wikipedia. Sounds like a joke. Dondervogel 2 (talk) 14:04, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Snow keep as per https://english.stackexchange.com/a/378090/247311 (I wanted proper citations to be added to this answer in order to be usable as a reliable source). Erkin Alp Güney 19:10, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Q/A sites' reliability change based on answer. A well-written, well-researched, properly-cited Q/A answer may be more usable than a poorly-written refereed article in occasions. Erkin Alp Güney 19:34, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per above; I can find no usage extant to English Wikipedia; similarly, I even went looking at Wikibooks, Wikisource, and Wiktionary, but alas, found nothing. Personally, I think Wikimedia Foundation should just buy Urban Dictionary, so we could that as a potential soft redirect target. Alas, until they do, I see no alternative but to delete, mainly due to WP:R#D2 and/or nonsense. Doug Mehus T·C 22:04, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• XVIXII → 1613  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This is not the Roman numeral representing 1613, but a concatenation of the numerals for 16 and 12. I initially tagged it for speedy deletion, but made a typo in the criterion used (WP:R2 instead of WP:R3). – Uanfala (talk) 10:49, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. The only correct Roman numeral for 1613 is MDCXIII, as mentioned in the lede. Narky Blert (talk) 13:58, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom (Uanfala). It's a useless and confusing redirect per WP:R#D2. As the remover of the CSD tag, I still think you could've retagged as R3, but it's okay. It'll be better to have this discussion on the record. ;-) Doug Mehus T·C 16:45, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom, possibly speedy. J947 ^(c), at 19:30, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@J947: I declined it, and administrators often don't seem to like second attempts at speedy deletions, so letting it play out seems best. If, however, in a couple days, we're at 9+ "deletes," then I'll request early deletion per WP:SNOW. Doug Mehus T·C 22:06, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
