Counting Days (British Band)

 * 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 speedy deleted, WP:R2, redirect from mainspace to userspace. -- Tavix ( talk ) 23:59, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

No need for redirect, "british band" doesn't seem like a very common search term ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 22:41, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as this is now a double redirect to user:Counting Days (band) (the author moved it to userspace). If there was still an article though I would argue to keep based on and . Thryduulf (talk) 23:21, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

No incoming links, nor are ever there any likely to be any. Misguided idea of what a redirect is. I say delete. Narky Blert (talk) 22:38, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment having no incoming links is explicitly not a reason to delete a redirect - whatlinkshere shows only current links from pages on the English Wikipedia and not from any other projects, history pages, anywhere else on the internet, bookmarks, etc. Thryduulf (talk) 23:23, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep "Whoa wow wow!" is apparently the name of the tumblr blog where the dress originated, so it's a vaguely plausible search term. Joe Roe (talk) 02:02, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Confusing and vague phrase not mentioned in the target article. There are too many possible other reasons to search on this phrase or something similar. On Google, I see Twitter hashtags about a Dilbert episode, an album by Renee Spearman, and World of Warcraft add-ons, among scattered other results. — Gorthian (talk) 21:43, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per Joe Roe. Patar knight - chat/contributions 13:01, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per Gorthian. -- Tavix ( talk ) 14:07, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per Gorthian. I don't think the name of the originating Tumblr is well known, nor a likely search term for the dress itself. --BDD (talk) 16:25, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Too vague per Gorthian's research. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 06:18, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Wills Campbell

 * 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, with the second item already retargeted. --BDD (talk) 16:22, 6 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Wills Campbell → William Campbell (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wills_Campbell&action=history history] · [//tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews?start=2016-07-31&end=2016-08-29&project=en.wikipedia.org&pages=Wills_Campbell stats])     [ Closure:  ]

Delete as misleading. There is no one notable by the name of "Willis" or "Wills" Campbell and it's not a common nickname for someone named "William." -- Tavix ( talk ) 21:36, 30 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Can always add William Campbell as a "See also" AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 22:50, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose deletion. "Wills" and "Willis" are, indeed, variations of "William". The other argument — that name variations are misleading if "[T]here is no one notable by the name" — is weakened by the selection of these two variants for deletion while leaving other variants, such as Will Campbell, Willy Campbell, Willie Campbell or Billie Campbell, although there are no notables attached to those names either. &mdash;Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 07:11, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * If you have evidence of any of the people in the list being called "Wills" or "Willis," then a redirect would make sense. Until then, this is nonsense. -- Tavix ( talk ) 14:27, 31 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect Willis Campbell to Willis–Campbell Act and delete Wills Campbell as most likely target. Will/Willy etc. are all common shortened versions of William but Willis is not (and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS but that isn't relevant to this). Boleyn (talk) 15:16, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Good catch, I've gone ahead and retargeted it since it seems obvious. It's a perfect example though of why we shouldn't be creating these redirects willy-nilly (pun intended), but only when there's evidence of people/things going by those names (along with common spelling variants). -- Tavix ( talk ) 16:11, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Inappropriate WP:RFOREIGN - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 06:27, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

 * any objection if I add all the other Chinese-language redirects for the same target to this nomination? Namely &  → Aelita Schaeffer,  &  →,  → Odd Della Robbia,  → Ulrich Stern,  → Franz Hopper, and  → X.A.N.A..
 * (There's also &  → Yumi Ishiyama; not sure if the character being notionally Japanese makes those worth keeping or at least worth discussing separately.) 58.176.246.42 (talk) 04:33, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * No, not at all, add them. I currently have no opinion on the last one you mentioned, but I'd say it's worth a discussion. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 04:36, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Not mentioned at target (as far as I can tell, his nickname is "The Shark", not "Big Shark"). No idea if there's a better redirect target. ansh 666 03:45, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

WP:REDLINK, we can have this article as for both North and South Korea, but current target is misleading. National symbols of China is now an article, and has previously been discussed at an RfD. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 00:14, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. <strong style="color:#606060;">AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 03:46, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep: It's not misleading in the way that redirecting National symbols of China to National symbols of the Republic of China, because the primary topic for China is the PRC and not ROC. That would be like redirecting National symbols of South Korea to National symbols of North Korea, which is not the case here.


 * The primary topic for Korea is neither South Korea or North Korea but Korea. It's a geographically ambiguous term without being particularly misleading. It's a redirect with possibilities (for a disambiguation page, probably). The current target page even briefly discusses symbols common to all of Korea, and symbols of South Korea. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 04:00, 30 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete per nominator . Regardless of what is covered at the target, Korea and South Korea are not subtopics of North Korea. Causes mislinks without aiding searches. 58.176.246.42 (talk) 04:52, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Disambiguate The redirect was a bad idea and similar redirects should not be created in the future, but now national symbols of South Korea exists thanks to Prisencolin. Later on National symbols of Korea could be made into an article about national symbols throughout Korean history, but for now a disambiguation page is fine, same as e.g. Korean Navy or Korean national anthem. 210.6.254.106 (talk) 09:05, 1 September 2016 (UTC) same guy as 58.176.246.42
 * Delete per nom, misleading. ansh 666 05:21, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Disambiguate. Either Korea is equally likely but this is a very plausible search term. Thryduulf (talk) 23:29, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * What would such a disambiguation look like? National Symbols of South Korea doesn't exist. -- Tavix ( talk ) 23:58, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Given there are 9 articles and a sub category in Category:National symbols of South Korea I think that turning that link blue, or linking to the more prominent of them should be pretty easy for someone who knows the topic. Thryduulf (talk) 00:18, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I've just gone ahead and created a barebones article for South Korea. --Prisencolin (talk) 23:40, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Create disambiguation page or new article, Considering that both Koreas claim that there is only one "Korea", it may also be approriate to create a list that combined the two and also adds symbols from pre-1954 Korea.--Prisencolin (talk) 23:40, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
