 * NOMINATION WITHDRAWN JMHamo (talk) 09:30, 13 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep. If you read the guideline you referenced, it instructs that we should only delete redirects that are from a language that has no affinity to the target. This term is mentioned and used in the article, so it's a perfectly cromulent redirect. -- Tavix ( talk ) 19:41, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * It also says "This is the English Wikipedia, and we serve English speakers. Having a large number of foreign language redirects presents problems for both our readers and editors." JMHamo (talk) 19:50, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * You're taking that quote out of context. It's meant to set up the next paragraph (the Dutch example) to explain why foreign redirects with no affinity to that language present a problem. Since the nominated redirect is used in the article, that problem doesn't exist because we can check the redirect against what is used in the article. I can see where you're coming from though so I've added a qualifier to that sentence to mitigate confusion in the future. -- Tavix ( talk ) 19:58, 12 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep per Tavix. "The major exception is for [foreign language] redirects where the language of the redirect relates strongly to the content of the target", "... such [as] redirects [that are] discussed at their target page" per WP:RFD/CO. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 22:15, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep since this was his name in his native language. Curro2 (talk) 22:11, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep the nominator clearly missed the first line stating that we don't keep foreign language redirects not related to the subject meaning thus related redirects can be kept.--65.94.253.160 (talk) 03:33, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep original language name; clearly subjects should be searchable by the original language name, if you don't know the correct romanization, or you're doing a cut-and-paste search. -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 06:50, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

While it appears the creator was trying to describe a type of psychic vampire, it doesn't appear to have any notability. Since there's a strange disambiguation, this doesn't appear to be a plausible search term anywhere either. -- Tavix ( talk ) 03:59, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * delete. If we had any coverage of robotic energy vampires, I suspect it would be at the Psychic vampire article and I would argue for retargetting this there. However, neither that article nor any others that I can find have any coverage of robot vampires of any kind, so there is nowhere suitable to point this whether it is a useful search term or not. Thryduulf (talk) 10:31, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not mentioned in article, and I cannot imagine anyone searching for this. sst  ✈  14:43, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete due to the odd disambiguation. "Robot Vampire" is nothing, but Robo Vampire is a 1988 film featuring what looks like a Robocop-zombie. We don't have an article about it although is mentioned very briefly at List of zombie short films and undead-related projects. According to the article, it has no zombies. This has been a disappointing tangent. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 18:42, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
