• Sint Maarten (Netherlands) → Sint Maarten  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

I propose retargeting this redirect to Sint Maarten, North Holland, since "Sint Maarten, Netherlands" redirects there too. The current target is not appropriate, because Sint Maarten is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and thus not a part of the Netherlands itself. To avoid possible confusion, a disambiguation hatnote has been added at Sint Maarten, North Holland, per WP:ONEOTHER. — Ætoms ^[talk] 14:58, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• I feel like this nomination is inappropriate at this time due to the ongoing move discussion. eviolite (talk) 15:17, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose, DEPENDENCY (STATE) is a very common map convention, and so the Caribbean Sint Maarten is a much more likely intended search result. The bright line Netherlands/Netherlands distinction is technical and does not reflect common use. CMD (talk) 15:23, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to a new Sint Maarten (disambiguation). Starting with a bit of history. In 2006, the article on the village north of Amsterdam was created at Sint Maarten (Netherlands). In 2010, I moved Sint Maarten (Netherlands) to Sint Maarten, Netherlands (and virtually all dabbed Dutch geo articles) per Enwiki convention that was not observed until then for Dutch geographies. Since, the village has moved Sint Maarten, North Holland and, as the creator of the original (different) Sint Maarten (Netherlands) redirect, I was notified of this discussion. To the present: since we need to cancel out the better claim of the village against many more searches for the territory, Sint Maarten (Netherlands) and Sint Maarten, Netherlands are best redirected to Sint Maarten (disambiguation) that would contain links to the village, the overseas territory, and to "the" Sint Maarten, a hospital in Belgium without an article right now. gidonb (talk) 17:57, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can also be linked to Saint Martin, already a disambig page. Both have advantages! gidonb (talk) 00:57, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget per gidonb. While I understand the nominator's concern, I feel that a general reader would not know the difference between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Netherlands per se.

• Run away balloon → Balloon boy hoax  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Like Balloon incident nominated below this seems like a rather vague and ambiguous title to redirect to a specific event. Google results are dominated by a meme, but searches show no specific affinity between this title and the Balloon boy hoax. I reccomend deletion. There is an unsourced single line stub in the page history, but it could have been A10 deleted at the time and no content from it was ever merged anywhere, so it shouldn't need keeping. 192.76.8.77 (talk) 19:47, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Hello, I was the creator of this redirect. I initially heard this person's name from the History of Byzantium podcast, the host there has a British accent and the person's name sounded phonetically like "Italiartes." Figured this redirect would be useful for others like me who heard that name that way and was looking phonetically. Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 19:54, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• There's room for an amount of redirects from plausible mishearings, but this one is too particular to one person with one accent's best guess at transcribing something said by another person with another accent. Assuming this podcast host pronounced it something like /ətæliːɑːtiz/, I can think of half a dozen ways that might be transcribed, and that's without getting to the assumption that the /ɑː/ is a British non-rhotic /r/. So, delete as too arbitrary. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 03:39, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Balloon incident → Balloon boy hoax  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Seems like a rather broad and ambiguous title to redirect to such a specific page. There have been a number of other balloon related incidents that could also be plausible targets, e.g. Balloonfest '86. My !vote is for deletion. 192.76.8.77 (talk) 19:40, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as ambiguous per nom. Part of me thinks a list of some sort would be viable here, but I think "balloon" is a broad enough term that a list trying to cover all kinds of incidents with all kinds of balloons would go down in flames. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 03:45, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to List of ballooning accidents and tag as {{r from hypernym}}. If that doesn't find favor, delete.

• Delete RFD is much simpler than other deletion processes because there is really only one simple rule: "will this redirect help readers find content they are looking for?" In this case I think the answer is a clear no as this is written in a dead language that is going to be on any keyboard. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:52, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: This is his name in Akkadian, the language of an empire which the target's father Nabopolassar worked to connect his rule to, as explained in the article. It might be worth considering since this text was mentioned in the target at the time of the redirect's creation. Regards, SONIC678 00:49, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Because lots of people are logging on to Wikipedia with their devices that support an Akkadian keyboard, and those people only know his (alleged, unsourced) name in Akkadian and will type that in looking for this article instead of "Nebuchadnezzar II" which they somehow don't know is the common name now? Seems kind of unlikely to me. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:33, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
