• Caroline Henry → Carol Henry  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete as misleading. Unlikely that any English first speaker would confuse the two variants. Page stats show that the few views that have occurred are consistent with Caroline Henry (wife of Conservative MP Darren Henry) being announced as a candidate for Police and Crime Commissioner. I checked per BEFORE when updating the PCC article. For me, there's nothing more frustrating that arriving at an inappropriate link. Old RfD = delete on 11 August 2018 refers to a non-notable Caroline Henry [journalist), can't understand why this was created 16 February 2019?

Rocknrollmancer (talk) 00:22, 9 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Keep. Name redirects are common — Jonathan may redirect to Jon, William may redirect to Will, Katherine may redirect to Kate, Charles may redirect to Charlie, Robert may redirect to Rob, etc. "Carol Henry" is contained entirely within "Caroline Henry", thus it may be of help to some users searching for similar names. On the other hand, no one would benefit if "Caroline Henry" were to become a redlink. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:16, 9 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Delete per nominator. No such person is listed on the disambiguation page, and we regularly delete "name variant + surname" redirects where there is no evidence that any person in Wikipedia actually uses the variant name: see e.g. RfDs for Samantha Leach, Billy Bentinck, or this whole bunch. Meanwhile, per WP:R#D10, a redlink is a valuable signal to readers & editors alike that we lack an article about the potentially-notable Police and Crime Commissioner Candidate. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 05:49, 9 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Russian Automobile Federation → List of FIA member organisations  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Nominating for deletion. The target provides no information on the subject. Literally nothing apart from confirmation that this is the official name and that it exists. This redirect therefore serves no purpose other than to remove red links. Given there is a draft, WP:RfD#D10 also applies.
SSSB (talk) 07:55, 8 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Delete per nom. No information whatsoever in the article about the Russian Automobile Federation other than perhaps what can be gleamed from the name anyway. Definitely better off as a redlink. A7V2 (talk) 12:49, 8 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Weak keep given the nomination premise is false. Redirecting to List of FIA member organisations doesn't give the reader a fount of knowledge, but it does show that the RAF is an FIA member responsible for sport and mobility. While that isn't a great deal, it certainly isn't Literally nothing apart from confirmation that this is the official name and that it exists and it is more informative than a red link. While WP:RfD#D10 could certainly apply here, the draft does not currently meet the WP:GNG threshold and isn't going to anytime soon. Simply that a draft exists is a pretty weak reason to delete a redirect if you ignore the quality of the draft.

• Delete It just wasn't necessary to create a redirect to avoid a redlink. That could have been simply done by implementing a piped link to the section in the article that mentions this subject. However since the text is a really self-explanatory and the subject does not appear to have the notability to warrant a standalone article, a link was really necessary at all.Tvx1 22:12, 10 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Weak keep. As Nikita Mazepin competes in Formula One under an "RAF" flag given the WADA ban on the Russian flag, readers would wonder what the Russian Automobile Federation is. Reminder of WP:OTHERSTUFF - just because many other automobile federations don't have redirects doesn't mean this one should go. The redirect is here out of a need to remove an outstanding red link that has 32 mainspace links to it. Spa-Franks (talk) 12:41, 13 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Spa-Franks: To remove red-links is not a valid reason to keep a redirect. Redlinks are desirable in cases where an article could plausibly be created as it makes it clear that no such article exists. Hence reason to delete a redirect number 10. A7V2 (talk) 22:55, 13 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No, but RAF is a viable search term, and addressing potential search terms is one potential role of a redirect. As I noted above (and Joseph2302 has mentioned below), the RAF draft is not showing promising signs so while RfD#D10 is applicable to the letter, it isn't useful in practice (WP:NOTBURO).
5225_C (talk • contributions) 07:17, 15 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I wasn't responding to the claim it is or isn't a viable search term, Spa-Franks says "The redirect is here out of a need to remove an outstanding red link" which is a bad reason to keep or create a redirect. In any case, of course someone could search for "Russian Automobile Federation", but I do not feel they are well served by being taken to a list with no real details about the organisation (including a circular link, too). To me the quality of the draft is not relevant to the spirit of reason to delete number 10. There is "virtually no information" about the RAF in this article, so why should we redirect to it? Perhaps a better option if you feel that these organisations will never satisfy notability requirements would be to include short blurbs about the non-notable organisations on the list article? A7V2 (talk) 00:15, 16 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Nor am I saying "it should stay because there's 32 links to it", I'm just saying, as a statement of fact, why the redirect was created: I would humbly suggest removing all of the links if the redirect is deleted. Spa-Franks (talk) 22:55, 16 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Keep: It serves purpose so people know what RAF means. Normally, I would suggest delete to encourage article creation, but there's no evidence the RAF passes WP:GNG- there's a draft article, but it's nowhere near showing non-inherited notability of this organisation. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:11, 14 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Comment as people are bringing up that WP:RfD#D10 doesn't apply because it is a redirect, I wanted to clarify that I had not looked at the draft, or checked whether it would pass WP:GNG when I mentioned it in my rational.

• Alex Oliveira → Alex Oliveira (footballer)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Nomination to delete the page to make space for a move of Alex Oliveira (fighter). A speedy deletion request was contested and denied. Rationale: The fighter is the more notable person under this name. The fighter competes in the premier organization of his sport, and was at least for a time being listed at least among the top 20 fighters in his weight division globally (as per this site). He has headed a main event in the UFC organization (UFC Fight Night: Cowboy vs. Cowboy). These appear to be overall more notable achievements than those of the footballer. The footballer played his career in 2nd and 3rd tier leagues in different countries. There seems very little media coverage on the footballer, despite competing in the overall far more notable sport. Recency should not be the issue as the footballer played well into the internet age, so digitally available media coverage should exist aplenty. It is difficult to evaluate as the footballer never competed in the English-speaking world, my research may indeed be biased. D-M (talk) 06:28, 16 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
