It is indeed an implausible typo, but according to User:GB fan's special:diff/808244704 I can't do SD, so I guess I should start RfD. -- SzMithrandirEred Luin 23:51, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. -- Tavix (talk) 17:48, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I created this redirect. I'm not sure whether it is plausible though. --Nevéselbert 21:04, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep term has been used recently on news articles: [5] [6] although a writer at The Guardian did question the term [7] Should be useful. Term has been around for at least several years now. [8] AngusWOOF (barksniff) 21:48, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I recall seeing this term in certain sources myself. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 23:37, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Whilst we all know that "Redirects are cheap", they do actually need to be useful. Too many unhelpful Search Wikipedia returns (and there are an awful lot for POTUS*) just makes the user less able to quickly find what they're looking for. This is one of them. With a daily hit average of zero since creation, and just 123 hits this year of which 41 have been since this RfD was posted - it's probable the rest just wasted their time following a link that took them to a List, not an Article that they probably didn't know they would be taken to. It should be observed that POTUS already contains a 'See also' hatnote to List of Presidents of the United States (400,000 hits this year). So I think this redirect just adds an unnecessary step and, most importantly, clogs up the Search Wikipedia drop down of genuine results (Point 1 in WP:RFD#DELETE). As a made up plural of an acronym that nobody apparently uses, it should go. Nick Moyes (talk) 13:25, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as this term has been used in media. feminist 15:04, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. -- Tavix (talk) 17:48, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This looks like another autocorrect redirect. Not sure whether this is plausible in other circumstances. --Nevéselbert 21:03, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. This redirect has existed for almost a decade, so I can't see it being eligible for WP:G10. Steel1943 (talk) 22:28, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete sounds more like a joke nickname than an earnest autocorrect. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 16:32, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and Comment. I agree that WP:G10 only applies to speedy deletes, not consensus discussions. No pages other than a host of current RFD alerts link to the Simon Cowbell page. I construe this redirect title to be a mildly disparaging and intentional mispelling that has long existed here (but would never be one accidentally mis-typed because 'B' is nowhere near the other letters of Cowell's name on a QWERTY keyboard). It has no significant page history, doesn't aid searching, and I cannot match it to any rationale to WP:RFD#KEEP, but its probably derogatory intent does fit it more closely to criterion 3 in WP:RFD#DELETE, so it should go.

Disambiguate? From a purely mathematical perspective, these redirects can potentially refer to Mac OS X 10.1. --Nevéselbert 20:54, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) Galobtter (talk) 14:22, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is no reason this would be a viable search term when all it does is add "list of" to the target title. Dysklyver 16:59, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete the remaining Vietnam redirect. -- Tavix (talk) 17:50, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

old unused redirect from the WP:WikiProject/ space. Pages should not stay in the WP:WikiProject/ space once the project has been established. Otherwise they still look like draft projects. Dysklyver 16:51, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

the same rationale applies to:

  1. Wikipedia:WikiProject/Vietnam Province and City
  2. Wikipedia:WikiProject/U.S. Roads/U.S. Routes/All-time master list
  3. Wikipedia:WikiProject/U.S. Roads/U.S. Routes/Completion list
  4. Wikipedia:WikiProject/U.S. Roads/U.S. Routes/Completion list/1-101
But I do not know how to include them in a joint nomination. Dysklyver 16:54, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Steel1943: - thanks, but to clarify, the correct redirect to that userspace is, Wikipedia:WikiProject Vietnam Province and City which makes Wikipedia:WikiProject/Vietnam Province and City a redundant redirect from the WP:WikiProject/ space. Dysklyver 19:19, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This has now been done, but I struck out the statement since I have "voted" for the nominated redirect below. Steel1943 (talk) 22:24, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Seems fine to me. Dysklyver 21:47, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I can't do that type of move, so will let someone else do this, and I just remembered why I moved this in the first place, it is a duplicate of Wikipedia:WikiProject Vietnam created by an editor with only 3 total edits. Dysklyver 21:53, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@A Den Jentyl Ettien Avel Dysklyver: I'll do it. Reverting the moves now... Steel1943 (talk) 22:00, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@A Den Jentyl Ettien Avel Dysklyver: Turns out that I cannot delete the leftover redirect User:Huutu/WikiProject Vietnam Province and City since I am not an administrator. (I had to retain a page that needed to be removed, and that was the one.) Is it okay if I tag that redirect with {{Db-g7}} (speedy deletion criterion G7) and refer the administrator to this discussion? Steel1943 (talk) 22:07, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I went for tagging it myself to avoid confusion since it said I created the page, I linked back here like you suggested. Dysklyver 22:12, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. Dysklyver 22:26, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
