• Count Fritz von Rosen → Gustaf-Fredrik von Rosen  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Christoher Lee wasn't engaged to Agnes von Rosen (1924-2001), daughter ofGustaf-Fredrik von Rosen (1895-1956, but to Henriette von Rosen (1933-2016), daugther of Fritz von Rosen ( 1899-1969) https://archive.org/details/lordofmisruleaut0000leec/page/220/mode/ https://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00663301&tree=LEO--QTHCCAN (talk) 19:56, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Unclear nomination. I honestly don't get what the nom is proposing. @QTHCCAN: Could you please clarify your rationale? Would you like to delete, or choose a new target? CycloneYoris ^talk! 08:20, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• I think what nom is saying is that this redirect, which is linked only from Christopher Lee, is incorrect because Count Fritz von Rosen is different from Gustaf-Fredrik von Rosen, and the confusion about similarity could be stemming from the fact that both had a daughter called Agnes. Countess Henriette Ewa Agnes von Rosen (Fritz's daughter and Lee's fiancee) is different from Agnes von Rosen (Gustaf's daughter). Delete since there is no better target. Jay 💬 08:59, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  You're absolutely right. I initially put the DB template for a speedy deletion, but I've been told it was more appropriate to pass through WP:RFD. The factual error about Christopher Lee swedish fiancée was also on the Agnes von Rosen article, but was basically reused the same reference than on the Christopher Lee's page. In fact, the page from the listed reference wasn't even right. QTHCCAN (talk) 16:22, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• 괌섬 → Hangul  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

When translated, these all appear to related to Guam. The first redirect translates to "Guam too", the second to "US Guam", and the third to "Guam Island". Unclear connection to the target and none of these appear to be useful redirect search terms, even if the target was changed to Guam (WP:RLOTE.). Hey man im josh (talk) 15:51, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The first one 괌도 is also just "Guam island" I think. (도 is 島...) Anyway, these serve no obvious purpose, and I suggest deletion. Imaginatorium (talk) 17:17, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Thomas Dickey → Lynx (web browser)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Redirecting to lynx isn't really great, because Dickey maintains tons of stuff, including some project that are probably more wide-spread and better known (xterm, ncurses); there isn't really an obviously "best" page to link to, so just delete it is better, especially since nothing links here any more anyway.

• Comment. The suggestion I made at the AfD was to make a disambiguation page along the lines of "Projects maintained by Thomas Dickey". I don't object to deletion either, I agree that the redirect adds little value at the moment. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 11:34, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with that too, if that's an option; I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other – I just really hate clicking links only to end up nowhere useful, which is what happened to me here. (sorry about the blanking earlier by the way – it's been a while and I forgot how MediaWiki works 🙃). Arp242 (talk) 12:10, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

After thinking about it, I think that delete is the better option. While Dickey is involved in several notable projects, he doesn't seem to be independently notable, and the maintenance involved in keeping lists currents doesn't look worthwhile. Meanwhile, redirecting to one of the projects is non-ideal. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 12:46, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep and refine to Massacres of Albanians in the Balkan Wars#Genocide classification. --BDD (talk) 22:01, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Albanian genocide → Massacres of Albanians in the Balkan Wars  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Not a helpful or useful redirect. The redirect name is vague and not one that's common or applied in sources for anyone to search for when seeking the target article, which itself is a descriptive title. Griboski (talk) 16:14, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Disambiguate Refine to Massacres of Albanians in the Balkan Wars#Genocide classification This is how the event is commonly referred to in some socialist and Albanian circles. If you have concerns about the name being ambiguous, then it can be turned into a disambiguator page or a disambiguator can be added to the directed article. PS: After thinking about it, I think turning it into a disambiguator is the correct solution, since the Expulsion of Chams, the Ethnic Cleansing in the Kosovo War, the atrocities in WWI and the interwar period, and the persecution of Kosovo Serbs in WWII could be referred to in this redirect. To make this term more specific to the 1912 massacres, a redirected can be created that simply include the year afterwards. PS #2: This term is mostly used for the target article, refining it to the genocide classification section seems like a better solution. Yung Doohickey (talk) 19:31, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yung Doohickey, could you add information about this in the article? I think we should keep the redirect only if such Albanian circles refer to it under the specific term "Albanian genocide". If they only call it a genocide, which happens to refer to Albanians, the term is WP:OR and WP:SYNTH and should be deleted. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 15:05, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is how the event was referred to in Juka's translation of Albania's Golgotha (a major source for the target article).[here] It is also referred like this in some socialist publications.[1][2] It's also somewhat common name in Albanian areas of social media. Yung Doohickey (talk) 19:43, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Social media is irrelevant. The two "publications" you linked to are random far-left/communist blogs and websites which wouldn't pass WP:RS. We need evidence that it is used commonly enough in an abundances of sources, not a few cherry-picked places. In this case, how historiography and reliable sources refer to a subject is important. --Griboski (talk) 23:06, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My point is that this redirect is probably common enough to be useful. One of the far left sources I listed is the third search result on google when "massacres of Albanians" is searched. It's not RS but it is relatively prominent. Albania's Golgotha isn't really cheery-picked, since it's a very prominently used source in the target article.

• Delete: The term is completely fictional and non-existent in scholarship. I agree with SD.Alexikoua (talk) 20:55, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  The third search result on google is a far-left article named the "Albanian Genocide". It is also a term used in Juka's translation of Albania's Golgotha. The term is also useful since there's an entire section discussing scholarly opinion on a genocide classification. Yung Doohickey (talk) 07:20, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  The war crimes against Albanians in the Kosovo War are also referred to as the Albanian genocide (or Kosovo Albanian genocide), which is why I changed my vote to disambiguate. Yung Doohickey (talk) 07:22, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: I can't find any RS citations that describe Massacres of Albanians in the Balkan Wars as the Albanian genocide. This is a term that is being pushed by one editor that isn't in line with the majority of scholars. A number of quotes were recently added to the page, however they too do not refer to this event as the "Albanian genocide". ElderZamzam (talk) 07:22, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Juka's translation of Albania's Golgotha at one point refers to the events as the "Albanian Genocide". A redirect doesn't have to be a term used by a scholarly majority. PS: You can access some of the content from Juka's translation, including the mention of the "Albanian Genocide" [[1]]. Yung Doohickey (talk) 07:18, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• A look at some of the redirect's targets that got moved over time: Landlord Classicide under Mao Zedong which was moved to Mass killings of landlords under Mao Zedong moved to Chinese Land Reform Movement (1947-1976) moved to Land Reform Movement. Also Class purges under Mao Zedong. The current target did not come about as part of the moves, but was a bold retarget by an IP in 2019. If any of the titles can be seen as similar to the redirect under discussion, then retarget to the appropriate target. Jay 💬 06:28, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
