Papuan flycatcher → Canary flyrobin (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Term not found in target article: nothing to indicate that this is a useful redirect. PamD 21:45, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Papuan flycatcher is another common name for this species (which I've just added to the article), currently used by the eBird/Clements checklist of birds of the world, one of several widely-used global bird checklists; Wikipedia uses the IOC checklist as its main source for bird taxonomy, but eBird/Clements is also popular (especially in the Americas), so it's not a bad idea for differing common names to have redirects. Spizaetus (talk) 00:29, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, redirects from all common names are important - but they should all be listed in the article too, not least to show the reader why they've landed on the page. Thanks. PamD 00:40, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree that every common name should be listed, especially those that are archaic, or used locally. Seldom used common names or historic names are more useful to aid in web searches than in linking between current Wikipedia articles, and principles of good writing may preclude exhaustive listtings of colloquial names. --Animalparty! (talk) 01:48, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If they're really obscure or archaic, shove 'em in a footnote to avoid WP:UNDUE problems, but they should be verified somewhere at the target with sources. With redirects, there's no way of separating out the two functions "aid in websearches" and "linking between current Wikipedia articles" anyway. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 01:42, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Implausible search term PamD 21:43, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, it's cheap, harmless, and meets no rationale of WP:R#DELETE. Would you propose deleting Donald trump and George washington too? Just slap {{R from miscapitalisation}}} and {{R unprintworthy}} on it and call it a day. --Animalparty! (talk) 01:59, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

George Branković, Prince of Serbia → Đurađ Branković (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Term not found in target article: nothing to indicate that this is a useful redirect. PamD 21:42, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This should help: Google Books Search: George Branković, Prince of Serbia - hundreds of hits are pointing precisely to Đurađ Branković (1427-1456). Sorabino (talk) 21:52, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please add that name to the article, using one of the hundreds of sources you've found. Thanks. PamD 00:43, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I added this: Andrić, Stanko (2016). "Saint John Capistran and Despot George Branković: An Impossible Compromise". Byzantinoslavica. 74 (1–2): 202–227. {{cite journal}}: Invalid |ref=harv (help) Sorabino (talk) 16:24, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Territorial acknowledgement → Welcome to Country and Acknowledgement of Country (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Term not found in target article: nothing to indicate that this is a useful redirect. PamD 21:35, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is intended as a more general term to describe the practice outside of Australia. The title is long, highly specific, and unlikely to be thought by people only familiar with the general concept of acknowledging the indigenous inhabitants of a territory, making a redirect a useful addition. --Varavour (talk) 22:37, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So could you please incorporate the term into the article, with an explanation of what it means (sourced)? Thanks. PamD 22:52, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- I will do that.--Varavour (talk) 18:55, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Winter of 1978–79 in the United Kingdom → Winter of Discontent (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Implausible search term for this topic. PamD 21:18, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Why do you say implausible? It's the definition, a near exact synonym, often following or preceding the metaphorical allusion, and could plausibly be used in a source without the Shakespearean epithet. See [1], [2], [3], [4]. I don't think it's likely to be confused with an article on weather, e.g. Winter of 1981–82 in the United Kingdom. --Animalparty! (talk) 02:11, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I say it's implausible because the "Winter of Discontent" is a term for a series of strikes and other events, while "Winter of 1978-79 in the United Kingdom" is a purely chronological term. PamD 09:19, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Implausible search term for this topic. PamD 21:17, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per my argument at Winter of 1978–79 in the United Kingdom. It's cheap and harmless. --Animalparty! (talk) 02:16, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
