These redirects could be seen as misleading since the subject of the target article is a government agency, instead of a subject regarding air pollution controls, regulations or standards in California as a whole. Steel1943 (talk) 20:53, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget all to United States emission standards#California, which seems to be the best target. I oppose retargeting these to climate change in California, because these terms are not synonymous with that.— Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 05:46, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Bhután, delete Kingdom of Bhután. Seems to be a valid alternate spelling or maybe an old form? It's linked from a handful of articles. Of course it could be corrected but the likelihood of erroneous mirroring is high. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 12:59, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Bhután per Ivanvector. Noting (somewhat irrelevantly) that the links seem to be all coming from lists of habitats in botanical articles, and the information there seems to have come directly from whatever 19th-century text they were first described in. So, probably an old form. Diacritics were much more popular back in the day. – Uanfala (talk) 23:32, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I've just removed the links so there are no links to Bhután in mainspace left, still, I would !vote delete considering it is unlikely anyway. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 10:12, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete both. "Bhután" is correct in modern Hungarian ("Kingdom of Bhutan" being "Bhutáni Királyság", roughly "Bhutan-of King-place" if you want to split the agglutinatives), but that's irrelevant if we have use of these terms in reliable English sources. (HU:WP does not have that as its equivalent of {{R from full name}}, anyway.) I am not sure we should really preserve every old spelling, especially in the case of diacritical marks that are for the large part ignored by the search engine anyway. These are just clutter. Si Trew (talk) 02:40, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - Bhutan would have no affinity with Hungarian language as far as I know. The article's etymology section describes in fair detail the various names and spellings that the land has been called by Europeans, and none of those described use diacritics. Natively, Bhutan has its own name and writing script, so no help there. See Uanfala's comment above: it could be erroneous in whatever century-old texts were used as sources in those articles. Regarding repair of the links, there will still be inbound links from Wikipedia mirrors in that case, making this similar to an {{R from move}} situation. My !vote remains the same, not on its utility or appropriateness as a redirect but entirely on the likelihood of link rot. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 18:30, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, and not even in particularly old ones. Just the other month I had to sing that something was blesséd, where the diacritical marks in things such as Hymns Ancient and Modern are used as stress marks, which I imagine is what would have happened here... as well as all kinds of errors such as optical character recognition not being perfect and whatnot. Unless there is any firm evidence that this form is useful to an English-speaking audience I do not see that it is helpful to know that it is how it is written in Hungarian: that's easy to find out by clicking on the Interwiki link for Bhutan, which indeed was exactly what I did (Hungarian doesn't have a Bh- on native words any more than English does, but often preserves spellings of foreign words, as it seems mostly to have done in this instance but added the written distinction there is in Hungarian sounds between "a" and "á". I imagine this actually comes via English into Hungarian, otherwise it would be simply "hu:Butan". Unfortunately even the best Hungarian dictionaries – and I have them – haven't etymologies, so that's just an educated guess: since sounds or digraphs like sh and th and wh and ch aren't formed that way in the Hungarian alphabet, it's pretty obviously a loanword in Hungarian.) Usually this goes as "no affinity to Hungarian" (or whatever), and I can confirm first-hand that it hasn't. Si Trew (talk) 19:39, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Multi-Tool Notepad → Microsoft Notepad  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Obscure synonym, unsure as to what this refers to, a quick google reveals many obscure topics unrelated to one another. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 00:01, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. A quick "what links here" search would point you to the mention in Timeline of DOS operating systems. See also Multi-Tool Word. It's unclear to me whether this May 1983 InfoWorld article announced the actual product release or was another of Microsoft's many infamous vaporware announcements, but clearly this product predates the 1985 introduction of Windows 1.0. The initial release was a DOS product. Per this source (in the "Word Processors" section, page 25 of the pdf), apparently Microsoft marketing dropped "Multi-Tool" from the name in summer 1983, and some sources imply that the product wasn't actually released until October 25, 1983. Further research is needed to flesh out the details. – wbm1058 (talk) 14:52, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can that information be added to the article? That would ensure a keep. Even if Multi-Tool was never realized, if there's evidence that suggests it was a predecessor to the 1985 one, it could be used as background information. But if they're unrelated products, then nevermind. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:03, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
