• Delete – phonetic misspelling, possibly a joke, per my rationale at the RfD for kloreen. ComplexRational (talk) 18:28, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, I find phonetic misspellings useful. If you are looking for Bromine, but you've heard it and don't know how to spell it, this is a reasonable guess. -- Tavix ^(talk) 18:44, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Hmm...I can dig that, but this (or more so chlorine) is not very uncommon and -ine seems like the usual spelling. Are there any rhyming words in English that end with -een? ComplexRational (talk) 19:36, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  I guess there are no rhyming words for chlorine at all; however, there are words like queen and teen (as well as adjectives like green) that end with -een. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 19:55, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  @Narky: What do you want to say? This does not rhyme with bromine. Did you just want to give another -een example? 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 11:56, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  They were providing an example that rhymed with "chlorine" (like you mentioned). Also, I think you pinged the wrong user ("Narky" instead of "Narky Blert"). Paintspot Infez (talk) 03:59, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Typing "brom" into the search bar lists "bromine" as the second result in the autocomplete menu. --Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝) 19:04, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • If the searcher assumes "Bromine" sounds like a frat bro wanting his stuff back, it's not going to click that Bromine is actually the article for "Bromeen". -- Tavix ^(talk) 20:55, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • That is, however, a legitimate alternative pronunciation according to the infobox. Double sharp (talk) 02:28, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • ...I'm not understanding how that is rationale for deletion. That just proves that the "Bromine" is most likely the page readers are looking for if they type in "Brom", which in no way addresses the existence of the nominated redirect, especially if someone attempts to look up or link to the title of the redirect. In respect to the utility of redirects on Wikipedia, the "delete" rationale provided in this comment is a red herring. Steel1943 (talk) 20:08, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - It it useful? It is. Does it do any harm? It does not. This is a perfectly reasonable guess for how to spell the specific element.

This phrase isn't mentioned in the article...neither is Bill Gates. I don't know if I can find any history between Hawkins and Gates on the Internet, either.

Minor fictional region no longer mentioned in its target article. No merges have occurred, so no WP:ATT issues. A Google search indicates real-world usages of this term, but they mostly appear to be non-notable country clubs. Hog Farm (talk) 02:39, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Well, we're down to very minor details, but Tolkien's whole approach was to work from names up to stories, so details are significant, and redirects are cheap. Tolkien lived at Sarehole and walked along Green Hill Road to visit his grandparents, the likely origin of the name. I've added a footnote with citation.

• Ben Nyaumbe → African rock python#Danger to humans  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Not sure what the appropriate venue for this is. It went through an AfD in 2009: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ben Nyaumbe, which was closed as "merge to snake". I can't believe that the original content would survive an AfD in 2020, and am somewhat shocked that it was kicked down to a redirect rather than deleted outright as recently as 2009 (seems more like 2007 or earlier Wikipedia behavior). No mention of this term at any target, nothing encyclopedic to retain. Plantdrew (talk) 02:07, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:47, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to Man bites dog#Man bites snake (!) - IMO a better target than one proposed in the AFD. I've added the information and a citation. The story was picked up by, among others, Reuters, the BBC and several national newspapers around the world, and was "improved" along the way. Definitely WP:BLP1E, but IMO worth noting somewhere.

Unlikely search term that does not necessarily mean "fear of germs", I would suggest deletion. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 20:32, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The redirects go where everyone would expect they should and they're clearly useful (receiving about a dozen or more hits per day). Corona in these contexts is obviously a somewhat informal term, but it's widely used and unambiguous – no other coronaviruses are called that, and none of the other things called corona are remotely plausible in a phrase like Corona in [Country]. Of course, this use of the word may start to get obsolete once it's all over, and it might be that one day the redirects will be seen as unlikely, but that day is not now. On a lighter note, it's exactly the situation described in https://xkcd.com/2275/ – "It's like, you know the giant spider downtown that sits on the buildings and sometimes eats cars? I think technically it's a mutant T. annexa wolf spider, but everyone is just calling it "the spider" and we all know what they mean." – Uanfala (talk) 02:21, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Adding that the first two can be deleted: Corona in sweden and Corona in norway are redundant given that we've already got the correctly capitalised Corona in Sweden and Corona in Norway. – Uanfala (talk) 12:10, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Hugbunter → Dread (forum)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

By having this and the actual name HugBunter as redirects, it lead to HugBunter only being a search recommendation when both of these were nominated March 11th, even when I typed HugBunter in the search box with the B capitalized, which also makes more sense having looked at the page history of HugBunter and Hugbunter. I suggest we delete Hugbunter so the actual name, HugBunter, can appear in the search box. OcelotCreeper (talk) 17:21, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. If a title makes a good redirect, a no-caps version of the title also makes a good redirect. You might not remember the precise capitalisation, or you might simply be lazy. If you type https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hugbunter into your URL bar or produce a link to Hugbunter, you won't find the target even though it still exists.

• RTL marker → Bidirectional text#Unicode support  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Retarget? I'm wondering if this would be better as a redirect to Right-to-left mark, but I don't know much about this field, so I wanted to come here and get extra input instead of being bold. The current target covers mechanisms for encoding right-to-left text (this is the purpose of the right-to-left mark) and links the right-to-left mark as a see also at one point, so it's obviously relevant. I'm just not sure whether a "mark" and a "marker" are close enough to be treated simultaneously, which in this case is what a redirect would do. Note that we have no corresponding LTR marker redirect or article. Nyttend backup (talk) 14:28, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Keep Afgjanistan, delete Afeganistao, no consensus for what to do with Avghanistaun. The discussion for Avghanistaun was split between keep, redirect and delete with a few editors even stating that they weren't sure what to do with it.

• Mix of K/D per Narky Blert. Good find on Avghanistaun; I would have agreed with LaundryPizza on its implausibility if I'd come here before Harlan's book was linked, but since we know about it, we shouldn't trash it. For those not using QWERTY, "h" and "j" are next to each other, and it's not implausible that you'd switch them. And yes, Portuguese typos aren't something we should be supporting.

  Relax I only said retarget or delete because I was not completely sure. Now knowing one should not make typos where the typo comes from the word disambiguation, I have changed my vote to delete. OcelotCreeper (talk) 23:16, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  @Shhhnotsoloud: The PSIM one actually was created by a page move based off of the error so I CSD'd that one. OcelotCreeper (talk) 23:32, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  I removed the tag; I think it's best to leave it be for now considering an K4 defence. It is a bit useful anyhow. Also, please adhere to MOS:LISTGAP. — J947 ^{(user | cont | ess)}, at 23:41, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We could just widen the scope of correct links recognised by DPL bot though. These don't have high views but the search page is highly unhelpful.

Electron configurations do not use uppercase letters, and I think it highly unlikely that one will search using the full electron configuration (which here are not even fully correct, as they should end with s1). I recommend deletion. ComplexRational (talk) 00:45, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Can you add 1S2 2S to this nomination? OcelotCreeper (talk) 02:14, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Neither this nor the redirect I asked to add are mentioned in the target articles so people search up the electron configurations to remember what atom has that configuration will get absolutely nothing. OcelotCreeper (talk) 02:16, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The electron configurations are listed in the articles in an abbreviated form — respectively, [​Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s¹ and [​He] 2s¹ — but not in this nonstandard format. I'm not sure if the standard form would be plausible, either. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 03:52, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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

Tagged as ((R from alternative language)), but I don't see how chlorine has a special affinity for German. Also, one typing "chlor" in the search bar could be looking for anything listed at Special:PrefixIndex/chlor (or even something else misspelled like chloe), no way of knowing which. ComplexRational (talk) 00:42, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete although Germanophone Carl Wilhelm Scheele discovered this element, he did not name it "Chlor" -- 65.94.170.207 (talk) 03:20, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Update: 'Keep per CoffeeWithMarkets -- 65.94.170.207 (talk) 20:32, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also, the ((R from alternate language)) should be stripped; replaced with ((R from related term)) or somesuch. (abbreviation? (abbreviated prefix) adjective? (adjectival prefix) ) -- 65.94.170.207 (talk) 15:54, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - This is used a variant of 'Chloro', the scientific prefix for some compound that contains chlorine, as stated by different dictionaries. It appears to be reasonably justifiable so long as we accept the premise of using prefixes as valid redirects in the first place. And I think that we should. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 05:07, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment chlor- should probably also be created in that case -- 65.94.170.207 (talk) 15:51, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per CoffeeWithMarkets. Plausible search term. Note that DAB pages fluor and brom mention the respective elements/prefixes. Narky Blert (talk) 08:23, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, tentatively. Seems like CoffeeWithMarkets has a good argument, so that's probably where my !vote shall stay. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 03:34, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
