This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on April 27, 2015.

Power sharing in nigeria



 * 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 delete. I thought about relisting to give participants of the previous RfD some extra time to respond, but I see that two out of three have edited other articles without commenting here (they should've seen the WP:Notifications), so I don't think that's necessary anymore.

 * Power sharing in nigeria → Nigeria (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Power_sharing_in_nigeria&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

This began life as a non-encyclopedic essay that really just provided an overview of Nigerian politics. I've been unable to find any better target for this. If we can't find one, it should be deleted, as it will only mislead readers. --BDD (talk) 20:15, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I just noticed this was Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 June 27 last month. My argument stands, though. Pinging TheChampionMan1234, Czarkoff, and Cavarrone, who participated there. While I still think deletion is the way to go, Politics of Nigeria would at least seem to make more sense than the status quo. --BDD (talk) 20:17, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete, it was an unencyclopedic essay and really has no use as a redirect due to the the fact that "power sharing" isn't mentioned anywhere. It isn't even mentioned in the essay, so I really can't tell what it means. Were they referring to separation of power perhaps? Tavix | Talk 20:30, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Delete mojibake. Gorobay (talk) 18:32, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Not sure if they are that seems strange mojibake with the Scandinavian accent. Si Trew (talk) 21:17, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Nope, this is completely normal mojibake. The UTF-8 bytes for ⟨ŵ⟩ are 0xC5 0xB5, which represent ⟨Åµ⟩ in Latin-1. Gorobay (talk) 23:24, 27 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete as implausible misspellings. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 02:35, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was delete all. Just Chilling (talk) 23:54, 3 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Irish studies → Celtic studies (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Irish_studies&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]
 * Scottish studies → Celtic studies (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Scottish_studies&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]
 * Welsh Studies → Celtic studies (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Welsh_Studies&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

These redirects are only useful if the meanings and developments of Irish studies, Scottish studies and Welsh studies are briefly mentioned in the article Celtic studies. RekishiEJ (talk) 13:22, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:REDLINK - these are not synonyms. I'm sure there are fields of study relating specifically to these three languages/people/countries which are distinct from Celtic studies, but we don't seem to have articles on them. Ivanvector (talk) 16:54, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * 'Comment. English studies is its own article. We have to be very careful now as there is a general election coming up in the UK on 7 May (I just got my postal vote today) so that anything we say influences that election, which I am sure none of us wants to do. Voting is very important, people died for our right to vote. Si Trew (talk) 21:21, 27 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete to encourage article creation. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 22:07, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Enver Hoĝa → Enver Hoxha (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Enver_Ho%C4%9Da&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Delete. Not an Esperanto topic. Gorobay (tlytalk) 04:56, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Well it's at eo:Enver_Hoĝa as a short article, so it patently is an Esperanto topic. Si Trew (talk) 21:24, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * You can write about anything in any language, but some topics have intrinsic connections to certain languages. Hoxha has no such connection to Esperanto. Gorobay (talk) 23:32, 27 April 2015 (UTC)


 * delete Yet another cross-language redirect. Seyasirt (talk) 12:11, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Lord Billy → Bill Gates (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lord_Billy&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

I presume this was created as a joke. I can't find any notable uses of Bill Gates being referred to as "Lord Billy." Tavix Talk  04:06, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as unlikely synonym. I only found cites about a certain Billy Lord instead. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 10:37, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete, wrong. As an American he could never be a Lord (we have Lord William Bentinck who was rather an eccentric character, and Lord William Howard) but this seems very unlikely. On the other hand, I can see that a Bills ((DAB) and Act of Parliament passing its second reading in the House of Lords is just about possible, but still seems very unlikely. Si Trew (talk) 21:06, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking aloud, not really suggesting a retargeting, but if a reader did search for this term, it seems like King Billy would be the more logical place to send them, though I was also surprised to see that as a dab rather than a redirect to William III of England. --BDD (talk) 14:00, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Conservative news → Fox News Channel (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Conservative_news&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Fox News Channel isn't the only (or most prominent) place for conservative news. This redirect seems promotional to me, and could be a WP:SURPRISE for people in the List of countries that are not the United States (if I may use a SimonTrewism). Tavix Talk  04:00, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as vague. "Conservative" can mean | a lot of things -- Lenticel ( talk ) 04:05, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fox News is not the same as the more generic "conservative news". The redirect potentially violates WP:RNEUTRAL, also making it undesirable.- MrX 16:56, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as above. If we could take care of deleting the actual "news" channel as well, that would be ideal, but there's a chance that's outside our jurisdiction. Ivanvector (talk) 16:58, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete'. The Bellylaugh is ribbed by Private Eye for being rather conservative, newspapers are entitled to express free speech. Si Trew (talk) 21:27, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Planeguage → Delta Air Lines (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Planeguage&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

The name is not mentioned at the target. - TheChampionMan1234 02:39, 27 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete It's a marketing youtube series that Delta did on Airlines passenger etiquette. Personally, I think they're kind of cute but the Wiki isn't an avenue for promotions. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 03:46, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - marketing/neologism. Unencyclopedic. Or non-notable ad campaign, I guess. Ivanvector (talk) 16:55, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget' to Plain language. Si Trew (talk) 21:13, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I think it's "plane language" (pun intended) -- Lenticel ( talk ) 05:01, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
 * A quick gsearch for "aviation terms" shows a lot of sites, but Wikipedia is not one of them. (I appreciate the pun, I'm a great fan of them. Alan Bennett somewhere says that people who groan at puns are doing so either because they wish they had thought of them, or seen them coming and have had time to duck). I mean we could put it to Wingspan or List of aircraft (there are more specific lists such as List of large aircraft) or something but that seems quite a stretch. Si Trew (talk) 12:42, 28 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete. This is one the few times that I think saying "per nom." is appropriate. Redirects must lead people to authentic information. This one does not seem to be doing that. Fleet Command (talk) 14:09, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I agree, it could go to altimeter or artificial horizon or any other guage in a cockpit but that would seem simply pointless. Si Trew (talk) 09:18, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
