T52 class
- 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 retarget to T52 (classification). Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 15:40, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
The target article mentions an E-52 class, but I don't see anything about a T-52 class either there, on the linked French article, or in an online search. Delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 20:16, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris talk! 22:10, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to T52 (classification). It's a bit of a stretch, but in that article classification and class are used close to interchangably. Class would seem to make sense in this redirect's grammatical construction when referring to the class of athletes rather than the classification of this class itself. — J947 [cont] 23:20, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to T52 (classification). The World Para Athletics organization uses "class" to refer to the different classification levels sometimes. See [1]. Hog Farm (talk) 02:33, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

- Pomeranian(dog) → Pomeranian (dog) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
The disambiguator is connected to the word here; not useful. TheAwesomeHwyh 20:52, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. There needs to be a space between the title and the disambiguator. CycloneYoris talk! 22:14, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep; useless to nominate or delete. Also, this has fair pageviews. — J947 [cont] 23:14, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Is a missing space really THAT implausible of a typo? Or is there something harmful about this redirect I've completely missed? Thegreatluigi (talk) 23:51, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per K4. It's not ridiculous, it gets some pageviews, and it's rather old. Hog Farm (talk) 02:35, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete this error. It only gets page views because it's there in the Search box. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 18:05, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Football(soccer)
- 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. This entire discussion is more costly than either creating or deleting this redirect. signed, Rosguill talk 06:17, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- Football(soccer) → Association football (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
The disambiguator is connected to the word here, which makes it somewhat less useful. TheAwesomeHwyh 20:49, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. There's no space between the title and the disambiguator. CycloneYoris talk! 22:15, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep, *cough*. — J947 [cont] 22:59, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- But if we delete this, Football (soccer) (which is the correctly spaced counterpart) will still appear on the search bar, so readers will still get redirected where they want to go regardless of deletion. CycloneYoris talk! 23:53, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah, readers will still get redirected where they want to go regardless of deletion a large amount of time but in the end deleting this just unnecessarily slows down the process of finding the wanted page. Why do that? — J947 [cont] 05:11, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

- Keep Plausible typo and redirects are cheap. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:48, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete as useless clutter. @J947: Why support creating useless and costly clutters like this? --Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 07:23, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Soumya-8974: I don't support creating this, but at the same time I don't see what will be gained by deleting this. Why is this redirect costly? — J947 [cont] 18:53, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Not useful. TheAwesomeHwyh 20:40, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Without commenting on the merits of this redirect, we need to keep this around somewhere. :) — J947 [cont] 23:01, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Doesn't just refer to this, maybe a better target is History of games#Pre-modern? TheAwesomeHwyh 20:29, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to History of games#Pre-modern per nom, it has plenty of information on this topic. — J947 [cont] 22:44, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

- Englische Sprache → English language (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Appears to be Dutch. Besides both being Germanic languages, I'm not sure that the English language has any real ties to Dutch. TheAwesomeHwyh 20:24, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Or at least, not enough ties to justify a redirect. TheAwesomeHwyh 20:24, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. This is the German for "English language", a perfectly reasonable search term for German-speaking people tying to navigate our encyclopaedia – see Englische Sprache. The Dutch is Engels. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:05, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

No German speaker reading English WP will need this redirect
: why would that be the case? — J947 [cont] 19:00, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Not sure what this is. Maybe it's "goat" in another language? In any case, I'm not sure its useful. TheAwesomeHwyh 20:18, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete apparently in Hindi, it means "goat". Or "canvas water bag". Or "silver anklet". [2]. So we have an WP:XY problem, and the title isn't suitable for disambiguation per WP:NOTDIC. Also it was created in September 2019 by a sockpuppet of a user who was blocked in March 2019, so it qualifies for WP:CSD#G5 too. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 06:00, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per IP. Narky Blert (talk) 08:26, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Implausible typo for Astronaut. Jalen Folf (talk) 19:17, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Implausible and useless. CycloneYoris talk! 22:16, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to astronaut; been a plausible misspelling in my experience. CNN have made this mistake. What is to be gained by deleting this? — J947 [cont] 22:56, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget per J947. This is one of the useful clutters. --Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 07:26, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to astronaut as {{R from misspelling}}. Narky Blert (talk) 08:27, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to astronaut as a misspelling as CNN making the mistake makes it plausible as CNN is a well known website and not user generated 🌸 1.Ayana 🌸 (talk) 20:33, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was keep. There is no need to create Baaaa pages with other lengths of a's, per Hog Farm's comment. signed, Rosguill talk 06:12, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
Overly-specific amount of a's. TheAwesomeHwyh 18:49, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Nice formulation for "now this one's really stupid" :p Yeah, unless we want to also have Baaa, Baaaa, Baaaaa and Baaaaaa - Baa may just have to suffice for the onomatopoeia-minded reader. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 19:45, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. This is exactly the length of a sheep's bleat. -- Tavix (talk) 20:52, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- I'm not sure I understand. TheAwesomeHwyh 20:54, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep as unambiguous and evidently helpful. — J947 [cont] 22:32, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep I wouldn't encourage making this, but since it exists, I see nothing detrimental about this. There's no real reason to delete this. It's unambiguous and not harmful. Hog Farm (talk) 02:36, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Conditional keep if Baaa, Baaaa, Baaaaa and Baaaaaa are created. CrazyBoy826 (talk | contribs) 04:07, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete; this page has had only 475 pageviews over a 5-year period, and most of those pageviews probably resulted from people jokingly typing in "Baaaa" in the search box and looking at the results. --Stay safe, ◊PRAHLADbalaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 17:12, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Unlikely. TheAwesomeHwyh 18:37, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep as a variant of aeroplane. -- Tavix (talk) 20:55, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per wikt:æroplanes. Wiktionary only accepts common misspellings so them having an entry for the word is telling in the evaluation of this redirect. However, the deletion log of wikt:æroplane gives bad vibes at first but that entry has only been deleted as a redirect (under wikt:WT:REDIR#U2) and as a fatuous definition – it hasn't been deleted as a misspelling page. — J947 [cont] 22:39, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per above.
- Keep, despite it being an archaic and unusual spelling. HopsonRoad (talk) 02:00, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure that this is particularly useful, there are tons of beaches in the state of New York. TheAwesomeHwyh 18:32, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- We have List of beaches in New York and New York Beach Ferry as options. -- Tavix (talk) 20:54, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- I think List of beaches in New York is the better option of the two. TheAwesomeHwyh 20:55, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to List of beaches in New York. Readers can select their preferred one when they're there (a rare opportunity to employ the pedant's trifecta). Narky Blert (talk) 08:41, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to List of beaches in New York as the best we can do for the readers. — J947 [cont] 19:05, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. New York Beach is a proper noun and there is no such thing; no such beach is listed at List of beaches in New York, so it's somewhat misleading to target it there. New York Beach Ferry is a redirect and is the name of a ferry, not a beach. This averages zero hits per day with no incoming links and will not be missed. Station1 (talk) 06:15, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Not mentioned at the target. Searching online I could confirm that McPeak is/was an athlete at this university, but without any information about her at the target I don't see a reason for this redirect to exist. signed, Rosguill talk 18:30, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

- Retarget to New Yorkistan#Hiphopabad where mentioned. It's about a New Yorker cover art piece which seems to be the origin of the term. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 21:07, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

- The history of the redirect indicates this magazine article. — J947 [cont] 22:28, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete unlike with #Hiphopabad above, we don't have a Wikipedia article about the magazine article that originated this term, and I don't know of any other place where it would be WP:PROPORTIONal to add it. It probably meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion, and I'll go create an entry when I get some time, but I don't think it's worth a soft redirect from over here. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 00:26, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

- Keep per CrazyBoy826. What is to be gained by deleting this redirect? — J947 [cont] 23:41, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Weak Keep. It's a one letter typo, and a rather plausible one at that. It's not the most likely of misspellings, and admittedly, it's not getting a huge amount of use, but it certainly seems to be reasonable enough to avoid deletion. Thegreatluigi (talk) 00:07, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Already tagged as {{R from misspelling}}. Single letter typo, adjacent key; not implausible. Narky Blert (talk) 08:45, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Erroneous disambiguator, was an article. TheAwesomeHwyh 18:04, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- To clarify, its erroneous because the disambiguator has no space between it and "King Kong". TheAwesomeHwyh 18:06, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- And only the uppercase one was an article. TheAwesomeHwyh 18:10, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. Answer me – what is to be gained by deleting this redirect? — J947 [cont] 23:46, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

- @CrazyBoy826: COVID literally stands for coronavirus disease. — J947 [cont] 22:23, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- COronaVIrus Disease 2019 is different than Coronavirus disease 2012, and it's very unlikely anyone could get confused. 2020 coronavirus's official name is COVID-19, while 2012 coronavirus's is established as MERS. CrazyBoy826 (talk | contribs) 23:34, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Retarget to Taichō. This redirect was created by a bot as a diacriticless variant of “Tåîchô”. “Tåîchô” is mojibake for “Tłı̨chǫ”.[1] Since “Taicho” is two steps removed from “Tłı̨chǫ” but a plausible Anglicization of “Taichō”, it should be retargeted to the latter.

The target article contains no information whatever about this software, and the existence of the redirect prevents the upper-right Wikipedia search box from working (which is the precise reason why the RFD process exists at all).

delete; it's a misspelling of Palearctic (not an alternative spelling, like Palaearctic), and has no links. Tom Radulovich (talk) 06:33, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete "Balearctic" does have a few results on Google that are not derived from Wikipedia. In particular "Balearctic Islands", which looks to me as usually a mistranslation of Balearic Islands/Illes Balears. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:52, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was keep per K4. Redirect was created from a page move in 2014, so deleting this would risk some breakage of links (maybe not internally, but more likely externally). Misspelling also seems plausible. (non-admin closure) Pandakekok9 (talk) 07:46, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. Tom Radulovich, what is to be gained by deleting this harmless and slightly helpful redirect? It's a valid {{R from misspelling}}. — J947 [cont] 06:57, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Also – the redirect was created as the result of a page move, as such K4 applies. — J947 [cont] 07:00, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

- Keep per J947 and Shhhnotsoloud as a plausible misspelling. Regards, SONIC678 17:56, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep and tag as {{R from mispelling}}. It's not at all unlikely; Appenine exists, and got 170 pageviews in 2019. Narky Blert (talk) 18:37, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

- Intendo Entertainment System → Nintendo Entertainment System (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
This redirect created back in 2007 seems to get A LOT less pageviews (the difference being in the millions since July 2015), possibly because of the misspelling of "Nintendo" here...which I'm not sure is very common or plausible. Regards, SONIC678 04:52, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. This appears to have been created in error rather than a common misspelling. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:54, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Even though you'd need to add 'Entertainment System', Intendo is already a thing, an album by Scottish band Bis. Captain Galaxy (talk) 15:48, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was retarget to Gay-related immune deficiency. Gay-related immune deficiency literally mentions this term (though the pneumonia here is capitalized), and is a better target per the IP and SpicyMilkBoy. (non-admin closure) Pandakekok9 (talk) 07:36, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
