 * → wiktionary:Appendix:Internet slang (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Redirect to Wiktionary with an implausible title; phrase isn't even listed at the target page.  — PublicAmpers &#38;  (main account • talk • block) 18:52, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. A speedy deletion was attempted in 2006, and it was decided to keep and redirect to the slang list pending a search for a reliable source.  Since the term "slm" or "selam" is not on the list at present, there seems to have been ample time to have found a reliable source and to have added it to the slang list.  I just spent some search time on it and could find no connection to either "slm" or "selam" as a common slang term in Internet chats. –   Paine Ellsworth   C LIMAX ! 21:26, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was dabify. Technically set-indexify, I guess. --BDD (talk) 16:30, 26 August 2013 (UTC)


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

Deletion; "Romina" is not an alternative name for Romania (not even in other languages), it is an italian given name (cfr.); the redirect is very old (2006), so I brought it here instead of proposing for speedy deletion  Syrio   can I help?  13:42, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Convert to disambiguation page - most likely someone using this redirect would be looking for a person with this as a given name. The Whispering Wind (talk) 17:00, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Convert to dab, per TWW. Should be fairly easy to do:


 *  — PublicAmpers &#38;  (main account • talk • block) 18:58, 12 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Disambiguate per The Whispering Wind and PublicAmpersand. Keeping "Romina" as a redirect to Romania is misleading, and not even a common misspelling. Whereas redirection implies the opposite, disambiguation elaborates on what a search of "Romina" is actually likely to mean.&emsp;&mdash;  | J  ~  Pæst  | &#8202; 00:06, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
 * (given name). Better than a disambiguation page, convert it to "Romina (given name)", similar to Prunella (given name) and aligned with WikiProject Anthroponymy (provided that the names on  PublicAmpers &#38; 's Extended content list are all given names and that some of them are not patronymic names). –   Paine Ellsworth   C LIMAX ! 19:27, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
