The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 16:38, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ravenhill is a part of the Lonely Mountain in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. However, this mountain no longer has it's own article, and it is not important enough to be mentioned at the target article (an overview of Middle-earth). Redirects are WP:CHEAP, but sometimes, deletion is better than having a maze of redirects that do not lead to applicable content. Hog Farm (talk) 20:36, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dominant majority

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. Though the decision will not please a numerical majority (!) of discussion participants, I see no other reasonable outcome. There are fair arguments why the status quo is not optimal, but neither does it seem to be clearly wrong. Some alternatives discussed, such as Ochlocracy, are considered subtopics of majoritarianism. I don't discount the possibility that a broad-concept article could be written here, though I do doubt the possibility of an effective disambiguation page—there's a difference between describing something as a "dominant majority" and treating it as a (near-)synonym. --BDD (talk) 16:37, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

While there's some overlap between the search term and target here, they're not synonymous. Majoritarianism describes a political philosophy advocating for the political primacy of a majority demographic, whereas "dominant majority" is a phrase used in many different contexts, often simply describing a very large majority. If we were to assume that the political understanding of "dominant majority" is the primary topic, then Majority rule would be a more appropriate target than Majoritarianism, as it discusses the actual incidence of political primacy of a demographic majority, whereas Majoritarianism describes a political philosophy that encourages this mode of governance. That aside, searching Google Scholar and Wikipedia suggests that "dominant majority" is more frequently used for non-political contexts; on Wikipedia, the most common usage of the phrase is to describe the dominant majority of male editors on Wikipedia, a situation that is neither political nor intentional. I think deletion is the most appropriate action at this time. signed, Rosguill talk 19:46, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • There isn't one "primary meaning" that could be the topic of a broad-concept article.—S Marshall T/C 13:34, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any mentions of this Middle-earth river in Wikipedia. There appears to be no history that would need to be kept for licensing purposes (article was redirected, content not retained). If a user finds a reference in the Wikipedia I missed, I will support a redirect. Otherwise, this should be deleted. Having redirects not mentioned anywhere is like having terms in a book's index that aren't actually mentioned there. Hog Farm (talk) 15:46, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was article created. Votes went every which way, but everyone seemed to essentially agree that creating an article was the preferable solution. signed, Rosguill talk 03:41, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Those are stenters, redirecting to Tenterhook. please look.

Tenterhooks do have an historical relationship to Stenters, but to redirect "Stenter" to a pre industrial revolution cloth hook is stretching things. The article Stenter doesn't exist (yet) Roxy, the PROD. . wooF 12:57, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Tenterground is related to Fulling in that iit was the area in which tenters were used. that would be too misleading. -Roxy, the PROD. . wooF 14:05, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
