 * → Kazakhstan (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Delete. Unlikely search terms, and there's no "in popular culture" section at the article (countries do not usually have such section anyway) Cambalachero (talk) 13:57, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete it was an article created and then moved to, which was subsequently merged to Kazakhstan, and then later eliminated from the article... The edit history is at , so this redirect doesn't need to be around. 76.65.128.198 (talk) 05:35, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Disambiguate to actual entries of Kazahstan in popular culture. &mdash; Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 09:16, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Disambiguation is not for topics, it's for multiple articles that may share a common name. What you propose is part of Outline of Kazakhstan Cambalachero (talk) 13:37, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
 * No, Outline of Kazakhstan is definitely the wrong place. I would prefer a list. &mdash; Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 14:09, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
 * That is not a disambiguation page, that is a list article, and there should not be a list article if the article is called "Kazakhstan in Popular Culture", it should be a prose article. Further a "List of popular culture with Kazakhstan in it" or somesuch is sure to be deleted as being trivial (as would a category of such). 70.24.244.248 (talk) 05:14, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

 * → Two-phase commit protocol (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

This redirection makes no sense. Two-phase method is as method created by Jan Węglarz for operations reasearch, it has nothing to do with 2PC protocol. It is confusig and just not right. 178.37.175.28 (talk) 12:17, 20 December 2011 (UTC)


 * delete. "Two-phase method" is too generic. I have never heard of Two-phase commit called that.  Many things can be 2 phase and it needs qualification, e.g. "Two-phase simplex method".  I made this page a redirect to 2PC in 2006 because the body of the page was in fact describing the commit protocol. Best to have no page at all (not blank!). -R. S.

Flag of Taiwan

 * The result of the discussion was Keep. Ruslik_ Zero 14:46, 30 December 2011 (UTC)


 * → Flag of the Republic of China (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Since Taiwan is not always synonymous with Republic of China, and there were other flags of Taiwan and there are also other proposed flags for Taiwan, Flag of Taiwan should better be retargeted to Flag of Taiwan (disambiguation), rather than Flag of the Republic of China. 61.18.170.58 (talk) 05:03, 20 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. "Flag of Taiwan" primarily and commonly refers to the "Flag of the Republic of China". Under 61.18.170.58's assumptions, Flag of Taiwan (disambiguation) would have to be moved to Flag of Taiwan, but I disagree with such a move in light of the prevailing meaning of "Flag of Taiwan".--Jiang (talk) 11:26, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
