The result of the discussion was Retarget to Five_elements_(Japanese_philosophy)#Sui. Tikiwont (talk) 20:21, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary foreign language redirect (mizu is the Japanese word for "water"). I don't think there's any chance we'd keep 水, みず, or ミズ (kanji, hiragana, katakana respectively) as redirects because there's no way anyone would come to en.wiki searching for water in Japanese, so there's no reason to keep this. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 19:44, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (as the creator of the redirect): Perhaps what you say has merit; yet many foreign words exist that either redirect or have an article that are originally foreign. For example, Café (Romance), Aqua (Latin), Baklawa (Turkish) or the Ellinika (Greek). Just because you might assume transliterated foreign words aren't used and don't belong on this Wiki doesn't necessarily mean they are. While I agree not all foreign words should be translated/transliterated and redirected to their English counterpart (in the case of redundant titles such as the Japanese equivalent for a small town in Hungary) common simple words in a foreign language should be able to redirect to our native counterpart to help someone who's not exactly fluent in our language. Ellomate (talk) 20:01, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
We're not talking about the same thing here. Cafe, aqua, and baklava are all loanwords, while Ellinika is Greek for Greek language. Except for mizuage (which has a meaning completely unrelated to water), where in English is "mizu" used for anything, and again why would we expect anyone to search for the term water in Japanese (in romaji, no less) on en.wiki? The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 20:14, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm glad you know your languages (or how to use Google Translate)! Cosmopolitanism is something I think we can all welcome here on Wikipedia. The last one I mentioned, and you bring up, "Ellinika", is in fact a transliteration from the Greek Language and not an original text either. Not to digress, but I wonder how the Greeks must feel about our transliteration of their language too. Actually, now that we have a discussion going, can I change my vote to Retarget? Ellomate (talk) 06:14, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, you can always reconsider; I have myself. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 06:14, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of this in the target article ZappaOMati 16:23, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looking around, most of the sources aren't reliable (Bleacher Report, League of Legends(?), etc), and the lone reliable source I found was the Baltimore Sun with the phrase, "petty soon the No Fun League will be a flag football or two hand touch league."[1] ZappaOMati 18:21, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Retarget to Vladimir Putin#Speeches and catch phrases. Ruslik_Zero 16:08, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dangerous precedent. We could have a soft redirect to Wikiquote from "quotes from" anything. A sisterlink in the parent article is fine. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 12:36, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • It looks like much of the material was copied to Wikiquote in 2007. Do we need to retain the page history for license compatibility? - Eureka Lott 15:50, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • If the transwiki was done correctly (I've not checked) then no we don't as the history will be at Wikiquote. However, this is an extremely well used redirect, with over 180 hits/month, showing that this is a very likely search term (which is hardly surprising). As I see it we can keep this as a soft redirect, but using a template equivalent to {{Wiktionary}}, but this is not especially helpful I don't think. Alternatively we can retarget it to Vladimir Putin, which has a Wikiquote link at the bottom, or better still retarget to Vladimir Putin#Speeches and catch phrases and add a hatnote at the top of the section pointing to Wikiquote. I note in the history that user:Dawynn retargeted this to Vladimir Putin in July, but reverted themselves a minute later without any obvious comments anywhere. I will invite them to take part this discussion. Thryduulf (talk) 18:15, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • I avoided using the word transwiki because it looks like one never happened. It was a copy and paste move. - Eureka Lott 18:33, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • In that case it looks like we have a far more serious issue then this redirect. It looks like the mover didn't give the Wikipedia editors credit, and, in the process, accidentally claimed these quotes as his own work, and possibly violated the GFDL/CC-BY-SA. Somebody should take care of this, and make sure the Wikiqoute article gives proper credit to the Wikipedia editors. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 09:50, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
          • The wikiquotes page was created in 2004, while this Wikipedia page was created in 2007. There was a large infusion at wikiquotes on 18 January 2007, the day before this article was created on 19 January 2007, this page was redirected to wikiquotes on 5 July 2007, without more additions at wikiquote, so whatever the attribution problem, it isn't because of this page. -- 76.65.131.248 (talk) 20:58, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
            • It's true that there was a large addition to the Wikiquote page on January 19, 2007, but there was another significant addition on on July 5, 2007. The material added to Wikiquote was copied from the above nominated page shortly after it was redirected. - Eureka Lott 00:43, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
              • Hmm... I seem to have misread that as small additions. In any case, the problem cannot be corrected with a transwiki, since the wikiquotes page pre-existed the wikipedia page, unless WikiQuotes uses subpage attribution. If it does, then there's no problem with transwiki-ing it now, because this page would never hav existed as part of the edit history of the quotes page, only as an additional page with edit histories. -- 76.65.131.248 (talk) 01:36, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Vladimir Putin, per Thryduulf. -- 76.65.131.248 (talk) 05:45, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Vladimir Putin. The article has a link section to Wikiquote so I guess it won't break the spirit of the redirect.--Lenticel (talk) 01:30, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dangerous precedent. We could have a soft redirect to Commons from "Gallery of" anything. A sisterlink in the parent article is fine. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 12:14, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merged nominations with identical rationales. Thryduulf (talk) 18:41, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • weak delete I don't see these as particularly useful soft redirects - pages starting "Gallery of" should really be only one of three things:
    1. Galleries of images here (e.g. Gallery of sovereign-state flags)
    2. Encyclopaedia articles about galleries (e.g. Gallery of Beauties)
    3. Internal redirects or disambiguation pages linking to one or both of the above (e.g. Gallery of Illustration, Gallery of Modern Art (disambiguation)). Thryduulf (talk) 18:41, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • weak delete If I recall correctly, the purpose of these galery pages was to present a sampling of flags with particular features (solid colors, et al) without publishing the grand lot of them within the gallery page on Wikipedia. A hatnote link in the parent article leading to a concordant Commons gallery was included for readers who wished to view more. It appears that tidy organizational structure has since been lost on later edits, so the Wikipedia gallery pages are once again a mess. Redirects to the lengthy galleries on Commons do serve the purpose of providing the relevant images, but galleries within WP are intended to be condensed and easier to browse. Less is more, after all. —Down10 TACO 22:51, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: When Wikidata comes in, it would be nice if it could be sortable in many directions depending on what the user wants. Anyway, originally it was a listing of manga, but sorted by the Japanese title. After an AFD in 2006 it was changed to a soft redirect. It may be helpful to review the page history so one can see if there are earlier versions of a page that may warrant keeping. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:46, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as redirects are cheap and even though you may not find it useful, other English readers may find it useful. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:45, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to List of manga licensed in English. In it's present form, this is not useful to English speakers. If the table at the list of manga article were not so huge, I'd say redirect this there and restructure the table so it is sortable on any field. As it is, it would be better to redirect users there and add a note in the introduction that a list sorted by Japanese title is available at the Japanese Wikipedia. This will give context to the link so that those who can read Japanese can find it useful while those who can't are presented with a page in English rather than a cryptic string of symbols.

  • Delete WP:REDLINK, if it has an article on another language wikipedia, then it is a viable target for creating one here. -- 76.65.131.248 (talk) 05:45, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for several reasons, a couple of which I'll list below:
    • First of all, I created this redirect because redirects are cheap. To quote the above: "Redirects take up minimal system resources, so it does not really hurt things if there are a few of them scattered around." To quote the project page: "deleting a redirect actually adds very slightly to the size of the database (since deleted pages are not really purged from the database, just hidden from public view). Unless a redirect is actively misleading or gets in the way of a pagemove, there is little point in deleting it."
    • I recently added the wikipedia translation template and a link to the French Wikipedia page under "Languages" on the left. If the community really feels that the French page for Espace Diamant is a viable target for creating an article in the English Wikipedia, I am an experienced English/French translator and would gladly contribute to the community's work on the translation. -- Tucoxn (talk) 12:04, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • If you think that Wikipedia should have an article but don't have the time/abiliy to translate one that exists in another Wikipedia, the correct course of action is to follow the advice at Wikipedia:Translation, namely either create a stub and tag it with the translation template or place a request at Wikipedia:Requested articles with an interwiki link to the foreign language Wikipedia. Blue links make it appear that we have an article when we don't, misleading readers and making it less likely that an article will be created. Thryduulf (talk) 14:07, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Why don't you just stubbify it, instead of keeping an external link redirect? Surely Google Translate or Bing Translate can provide you with enough to write an introduction and stuff a stub template and translation request template on it. This isn't a real redirect, since it doesn't redirect to something on en.wiki that covers the topic, it points to an external link, which isn't in English, so this redirect is not cheap. It requires people using it to understand French. -- 76.65.131.248 (talk) 22:36, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Nothing against a translated article being created here, but just simply a redirect to a foreign language article is not really useful to English speakers. - TexasAndroid (talk) 13:16, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fake namespace which uses the German title of special:watchlist. Plenty of "me too, useful" comments at the last RfD, but not a single actual use case (in 2009 it was actually linked to from a utility page, but that was three years ago and said page has long since been fixed). The argument that it's "useful" could be used to justify including German-language redirects for every single part of [[Special:]], not to mention [[Wikipedia:]], [[Talk:]] or any other part of infrastructure. We plainly survive with none of those. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 11:36, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Well, I use the URL, mainly by manual editing it in my browser. And I am still at a loss why it hurts. --Windharp (talk) 17:41, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Please keep, this is used by many people and it is difficult to understand why the redirect is a problem --Regression Tester (talk) 08:54, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's sitting in contentspace, not Special namespace or WP namespace; Tens of various languages used on various versions of Wikipedia, which would mean thousands of redirects like this to every SPECIAL:-space page, all sitting in contentspace, none of which are in English. -- 76.65.131.248 (talk) 11:27, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This redirect exists since 2008. It has not spawned "thousands" more in those 4 years. But of course it certainly will in the future... --Berntie (talk) 09:08, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And how can you tell? Special:WhatLinksHere/Special:Watchlist does not work. And I certainly don't know "special" or "watchlist" in every language on Earth, or the other special pages. -- 76.65.131.248 (talk) 14:18, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
IMO, the idea that someone has to prove that those redirects do not exist is silly. If you claim that they are floating around somewhere out there just provide the links. --Berntie (talk) 10:56, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was disambiguate. Merging with Lotte can be discussed on relevant talk or project pages if desired. Thryduulf (talk) 10:37, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from being an asteroid, Lottie is also a nickname for Charlotte, so I would recommend turning the page into a disambiguation page between 3489 Lottie and Charlotte (given name). It Is Me Here t / c 10:52, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No reason why this very common phrase should redirect to this particular article. Furthermore the phrase doesn't appear anywhere in the article. Ϫ 03:23, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
