Talk:Giovanni Lonfernini (I)

Although this is a nonstandard article name on English Wikipedia, it's the article name format used in other languages, and has been used in redlinks here as well. See also Talk:Giovanni Lonfernini. Andrewa (talk) 21:28, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Andrewa. This redirect was just nominated for speedy deletion by and I have declined it for the moment. However, I have to admit it is very unusual and I would have considered deleting it if I hadn't recognised your username. Can you recall why this was created? (There is some discussion at Talk:Giovanni Lonfernini (1976).) Currently this redirect currently serves as a circular link at Giovanni Lonfernini where you're simply redirected to the same page if you click it. Standard practice would be I think to have it as a redlink instead. Jenks24 (talk) 06:57, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, . The explanation is now at Talk:Giovanni Lonfernini (1976), and in that it's about ten years ago lots has changed in the meantime. But as the discussion there indicates, it was messy even then.
 * In that this talk page will possibly also be deleted, I'll discuss further at Talk:Giovanni Lonfernini (1976).
 * I'd hold off for the moment until we clarify whether there's any reason for either the redirs from Giovanni Lonfernini (I) or Giovanni Lonfernini (II) to exist, and then probably delete either both or neither. But I can't see any great damage in deleting them at present. Andrewa (talk) 10:28, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
 * One possible argument for keeping both is that Wikidata is I gather in a mess so far as interlanguage links is concerned. Of course we should fix Wikidata, but in that one of the key aims of Wikipedia is to be multilingual perhaps we should also be a bit flexible in the meantime, in the interests of reader experience.
 * Or it may be more help to those fixing Wikidata to delete these redirs. I'm not sure who to ask. Andrewa (talk) 11:26, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
