This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on January 8, 2014.

Copenhagen University College of Engineering



 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.


 * The result of the discussion was withdrawn. --17:30, 9 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Copenhagen University College of Engineering → DTU Diplom (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Based on comments on the target article's talk page, this institution has never been affiliated with Copenhagen University. If that's true, this redirect is misleading and should be deleted. BDD (talk) 19:33, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep it is apparently widely known in English by this name, including at a site that is "run by the Danish Agency for Universities and Internationalisation under the auspices of the Danish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Higher Education." which seems a pretty authoritative source. Thryduulf (talk) 01:29, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I misread on this one. The other institution is University of Copenhagen, so the old name was never the College of Engineering of Copenhagen University. It was a university college in Copenhagen that taught engineering. The comment on the talk page was about categorizing with the University of Copenhagen. --BDD (talk) 17:30, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Olfactory reference syndrome

 * The result of the discussion was wrong forum. Per the instructions, this belongs at Requested moves not here. Thryduulf (talk) 17:54, 8 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Olfactory reference syndrome → Olfactory Reference Syndrome (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Sentence case? Lesion ( talk ) 17:30, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * To clarify, I think the article should be on "Olfactory reference syndrome" and the redirect be "Olfactory Reference Syndrome". I tried to move the article to the sentences case title but it was not possible. So Xfd prior to move. Many thanks, Lesion  ( talk ) 17:32, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

 * ALIAE: Love & Girls, Linguafranc → Love & (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

I don't know what ALIAE is supposed to mean, but this is even further from a viable redirect. Also per delete decision at Redirects for discussion/Log/2013 December 17. Raykyogrou0 ( Talk ) 09:00, 8 January 2014 (UTC)


 * See also: Related discussion at Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 January 3. Raykyogrou0  ( Talk ) 09:01, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete unless an adequate explanation of "ALIAE" is found - google returns exactly zero relevant hits other than the redirect and this RfD for "ALIAE" in combination with either "Love & Girls" or "Linguafranc". Thryduulf (talk) 18:04, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Comment: Proposal currently lacks:


 * 1) Some (any) rationale that is not founded in/on the proposer's stated ignorance which, as such, in-and-of-itself seems to me: WP:OWN, not invented here, WP:HARASS and/or some-other contra-WP:NPOV
 * 2) and/or some less partisan selection of related links on the problem that the redirect is used to resolve (there are more than ten such links, excluding WP:EDITWAR-ish restatements / re-editing).
 * 3) assuredly including a link to the edit which was the proposer's first sight of usage. Ian, DjScrawl (talk) 19:53, 9 January 2014 (UTC)


 * @DJ: Care to elaborate on your accusations? "stated ignorance"? "not invented here"? "WP:OWN"? "WP:HARASS"? "contra-NPOV"? "Edit war"? I'd like to point out that this is a discussion about the redirect and not the content.


 * Gosh! Those would be serious accusations, to such I'd strongly insist on elaboration myself!


 * However, the well-known/of-weeks-standing,  WP:I'm called (in reverse preference order): Ian (or when quoted/paraphrased/pinging, DjScrawl) and Scrawl ( not DJ ) indicates you're addressing someone other than myself. If I'm mistaken in that assessment, please let me know.


 * I recall that you had issues with this Raykyogrou0, that might be described as he has^^Hypothetically, might it be you he's referring to?


 * Otherwise,  Weather Trio Zero (Raykyogrou0), I trust the purported assailant will furnish an explanation, with sufficient clarity/speed to regularise your 'good standing', soonest.  I fully appreciate that slander can be quite upsetting and, as such, may mitigate the continued delay in provision of MOS:/WP: based rationale, for your proposed redirect deletion. Irrespective, I trust that you'll endeavour to enjoy your weekend as much as I intend! Ian, DjScrawl (talk) 21:00, 10 January 2014 (UTC)}
 * @DJ (yes, you) Please keep your off-topic (excuse my language) blabber to your talk page or someone else's talk page. Raykyogrou0  ( Talk ) 01:17, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Facts:
 * On 22 Dec, I advised you that I disliked your addressing me as DJ) (and subsequently repeated that advice)
 * 19 days later^^ you addressed someone as DJ, and again directly above
 * Conjecture:
 * A. you're addressing someone else (covered 21:00, 10 Jan)
 * B. you're addressing me and being stubbornly obtuse (unless there's some other explanation I'm missing)
 * C. you're addressing me, with some other non-stubborn, non-obtuse and non-rude explanation.


 * If it's not A (addressing someone else), it is you who broached the tiresome topic of addressing me with a disliked epithet! Thus, please rescind


 * Meanwhile, if it's B, I again direct you to my 20 Dec, advice on holes, i.e. quit calling me DJ before expecting my cooperation in your following sub-topics, of your  private life dramatics.


 * If it's C, please elaborate.


 * Your erroneous use of  blabber a small problem, by comparison. If you insist in persisting to addressing me "DJ"for the sake of other readersI suggest you continue that, your topic, on your talk page and ping me in. In case it's some impediment to your provision of a MOS:/WP: based rationale (for your proposed redirect deletion), I do point-out that your "I don't know what ..." (o/p) is the beginning of a statement of  ignorance.Ian, DjScrawl (talk) 04:47, 11 January 2014 (UTC)}
 * @DJ: Feel free to hide your off-topic blabber with . Thanks.  Raykyogrou0  ( Talk ) 04:57, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

One can see how DjScrawl intended to use this by looking at this old revision before Raykyogrou0's reversion. Items 5 and 11 in the track listing linked to this redirect. It appears to have been intended for exactly the same purpose as Love & Girls (Linguafranc) (deleted in an earlier RfD) and Love & Girls, Linguafranc (still under discussion). Those had the advantage that the pipe trick would work.

A notation I've seen used for singles is to separate the titles of the A side and B side songs with a slash: Love & Girls/Linguafranc. In my opinion, it is recognisable as identifying a single, is a plausible search term, and could be used in a sentence. I hesitated to propose it before because the slash would make it a subpage. &mdash; rybec   21:00, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I see that has already created Love & Girls/Linguafranc as a redirect to Love & Girls. I suggest keeping it. &mdash;  rybec   21:03, 9 January 2014 (UTC)


 * @Rybec: " / " is commonly used only for a double A-side single, but in this case no since it is a regular A-side, B-side single. Raykyogrou0  ( Talk ) 12:14, 10 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the Love & Girls/Linguafranc suggestion/create. That is fine for me. Ian, DjScrawl (talk) 05:13, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. No credible explanation provided for this bizarre redirect (is it some kind of mangled use of Latin?). —  Scott  •  talk  14:02, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per Thryduulf, unless an explanation for 'ALIAE' is provided. John Vandenberg (chat) 07:44, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
