 * → Ministry of Health and Social Development (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

This redirect begins with a Cyrillic letter. No one will type it. It is only a month old. Delete it. Gorobay (talk) 19:00, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Move to "Ministry of Health and Social Development (Russia)" (i.e. with a Latin letter "M") and keep the resulting redirect for now. For some reason this has got a lot of internal links and consequently has a large amount of traffic. With a Latin "M" the title is obviously a very likely search term, so I suggest we move it to that title and clean up the internal links. After a couple of months the title with the Cyrillic "М" can be re-evaluated here if desired. Thryduulf (talk) 20:40, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I've bypassed the redirect in Template:Executive authorities of Russia. TimBentley (talk) 00:33, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
 * You beat me to it by just a few minutes. Anyway, now that the offending link has been expunged, there is no reason to keep the redirect. Gorobay (talk) 00:52, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually there is - we have no way of knowing how many external links are using this term (it's way too soon for even all the mirrors to have caught up), so I stand by my earlier recommendation. After a few months we can look at the traffic stats again and see whether it is still being used or not. Thryduulf (talk) 18:13, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
