Soft redirects to other language wikis are, in general, not useful to users of the English WP. TexasAndroid (talk) 22:35, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:REDLINK. --BDD (talk) 22:51, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep and replace by a stub with interwiki link per the following post copied from the talk page. I agree with this post: This is an important topic related to history of France. D.Lazard (talk) 23:29, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Contested deletion: This article should not be speedy deleted as having no substantive content, because it is a soft redirect to an existing article in French Wikipedia. The alternative is to create a red link for Gibbet of Montfaucon which gives the reader nothing of value. The article in French Wikipedia is useful for those who do not read French because it has multiple explanatory pictures. I plan to prepare an article to replace this redirect in the near future. Thank you. SchreiberBike (talk) 06:27, 30 January 2013 (UTC) Copied from Talk:Gibbet of Montfaucon
 * I have just replaced the soft redirect by a stub.D.Lazard (talk) 23:46, 31 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Before I edited the Montfaucon disambiguation page it had a link on it to the article in French Wikipedia. I knew that inter-language links were inappropriate in a disambiguation page, so I deleted it. After I saw that a number of the links to the disambiguation page referred to the gibbet, I created the soft redirect and added that back to the disambiguation page. A look at the page on French Wikipedia shows that even without understanding French, one can understand what a gibbet is, how this gibbet is different from the norm, and where in Paris the gibbet was.


 * All that being said, I wouldn't really have any problem with deleting the redirect because I plan to replace it with a stub article in the fairly near future. I don't want to promise when I will do it, because I've got a number of other projects going on. Thank you. SchreiberBike (talk) 00:00, 1 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment if we're subbifying this, can someone transfer the image from French Wikipedia onto Commons, so we can use it? -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 05:08, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

 * → Secret societies at the College of William & (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

This is a WP:MADEUP "secret society" inserted in the target article by a WP:SPA. There are some inherent difficulties in finding coverage of secret societies in reliable sources, but there has to be something to go by. Note that "J1W" almost certainly refers to a certain section of a W&M residence hall (in this case, Jefferson 1st West), no doubt where the people who made this up live. This terminology is common at W&M. BDD (talk) 20:46, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Contested PROD. Searching ""Fluegelshank" on Google gives no results whatsoever except the Wikipedia article, so this word is either a not well-known neologism or just something the creator made up.  ~satellizer~ ~talk~  04:30, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
