Not sure why we have a soft redirect to Korean Wikipedia instead of a redirect to the corresponding English Wikipedia article, Olympic Boulevard Expressway. Stefan2 (talk) 22:36, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. The thing is in English this would make no sense so there's not much point redirecting it although User:Stefan2 is correct that would be the correct target but nobody in Engish is going to say Olympicdaero. WP:RFOREIGN. Si Trew (talk) 01:30, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Olympic Boulevard Expressway since some English/bilingual printed sources use Olympicdaero or Olympic-daero (or the old McCune-Reischauer spelling of Daero, "Taero") to refer to it . 210.6.254.106 (talk) 02:23, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Retarget per 210.6, taking the IP's word for it. I read it as "Olympicadero" and thought it was Spanish. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 02:25, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

This cross-wiki redirect seems useless for English Wikipedia. Stefan2 (talk) 19:47, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - what is happening here? Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 21:36, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. I am the creator. Because of a misconfigured centralnotice that had an internal link to Sciencephoto.wikimedia.gr/2016/02/21/awards-ceremony-espc2015/ instead of https://sciencephoto.wikimedia.gr/2016/02/21/awards-ceremony-espc2015/ . The soft redirect was needed there to route the readers to the intended page instead of just a blank page. It can be deleted now. - geraki  T L 06:15, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Do we really keep local redirects to articles on Turkish Wikipedia? Stefan2 (talk) 19:45, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - I don't know Turkmen Wikipedia's notability standards, but this person would fail ours. If they were notable I would suggest recruiting a Turkmen-speaking editor to translate the page. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 21:36, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. C'mon, we can't start doing Interwiki links like this, if it is WP:REDLINK it is redlink. We can't pretend to have an article then WP:SURPRISE people by jumping them across to a foreign-language Wikipedia. I might as well create a redirect and take Fidesz – Magyar Polgári Szövetség to hu:Fidesz – Magyar Polgári Szövetség. You just can't do that. Si Trew (talk) 01:32, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually we do have that in English or it is blue for me. That makes no bloody sense either but pisses on my bonfire. Si Trew (talk) 01:37, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

These escape sequences represent the bytes 0xFE and 0xFF, which together are the UTF-16 byte order mark, but separately are just bytes and can mean anything. Delete as too vague. Gorobay (talk) 00:54, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * If you can think of other meanings for those escape sequences, by all means we should convert the redirects to disambiguation pages linking to all possible meanings. Otherwise, removing the redirect is just doing a disservice for the readers who are actually looking for the meaning they currently point to, so I see no upside to deletion. I can be persuaded otherwise, but for now my position is Keep. --Waldir talk 08:52, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
 * 0xFE and 0xFF are not byte-order marks. They are just single bytes. They could just as well have been redirected to Design of the FAT file system or Extended Display Identification Data or ISO/IEC 8859-5, which use these bytes too. It would be impractical to list [ all their possible meanings]. I would not want to delete \376\377 or \377\376, because those byte sequences are notable as the UTF-16 BOM, but half of a BOM is too vague to redirect anywhere. The upside to deletion is that the current target is confusing for readers who are looking for any of these bytes’ many other meanings. Gorobay (talk) 13:40, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I see your point, but disagree that directing readers to one possible meaning is less useful than not directing them to any. I'd support converting the page to a disambiguation or a stub, but not deleting. --Waldir talk 02:40, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * This is a clear case of WP:XY, and the byte-order mark is not, in fact, a possible meaning of either of these terms. Gorobay (talk) 18:22, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak retarget \377 to 255 (number), since writing octal numbers with a preceding slash is a convention in a variety of programming contexts (not just Unicode), and that particular target actually discusses uses in computing. Delete \376, since 254 (number) doesn't have any similar content. (At risk of violating Wp:BEANS: please don't go and add a Wp:TRIVIA list of every single use of those two numbers in every file format or encoding on earth to the two number articles). 210.6.254.106 (talk) 07:41, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't object to deleting \377 either, seeing as we don't have the far more common 0xFF (same number in hexadecimal). 210.6.254.106 (talk) 16:29, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, BDD (talk) 18:23, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - If its a WP:XY problem and we currently have unhelpful uncertainty, it makes sense to just get rid of both redirects. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 00:21, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was no consensus. --BDD (talk) 14:41, 2 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Iranian Revolution of 2009 → 2009 Iranian presidential election protests (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Iranian_Revolution_of_2009&action=history history] · [//tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews#start=2016-04-15&end=2016-05-14&project=en.wikipedia.org&pages=Iranian_Revolution_of_2009 stats])     [ Closure:  ]

Simply there had been no revolution. WP:RFD#4 seems to apply here. Mhhossein (talk) 07:13, 15 May 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak Keep - I feel like if a revolution, revolt, social movement, etc is attempted and fails miserably, with no or little results achieved, then that isn't necessarily a reason to avoid using those terms in redirects. Redirects don't have to be strictly neutral or strictly accurate, they just have be helpful while meeting guidelines. Yes, Yoda did say "Do or do not, there is no try", but most political moves to get rid of a government end up as "Try or try not, there is no doing it". Failed Iranian Revolution of 2009, Failed Iranian Protests of 2009, Iranian Regime Victory of 2009, 2009 Iranian Wave of Oppression, and the like don't exist but those would be far better wordings. I still think the present redirect is helpful. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 07:31, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Week keep roughly per CoffeeWithMarkets. The creator has a bad habit of making up BS names for wars & protests by bad analogy to other events, but judging from Google News/Books this one (and "2009 Iranian Revolution") is actually used in a few reliable sources, though often with the adjective "abortive" or "failed". 210.6.254.106 (talk) 02:51, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, BDD (talk) 18:21, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Revolution is "an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed". No such things happened in 2009. I feel this redirect is an attempt to glorify the 2009 incident. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 11:36, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I feel this redirect is an attempt to glorify the 2009 incident well, that's likely a correct assessment of the creator's motives, especially given this recent failed move request, but it has little to with whether we keep the redirect. WP:RNEUTRAL is clear: if a redirect represents an established term that is used in multiple mainstream reliable sources, it should be kept even if non-neutral, as it will facilitate searches on such terms. 210.6.254.106 (talk) 04:00, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I understand. But even so, you yourself said 'often with the adjective "abortive" or "failed"'. That was partly my basis for what I decided. "Failed" and "abortive" are pretty much a synonym of "not a". —Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 11:46, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

We don't put "(disambiguation)" twice in redirects. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (disambiguation) already exists. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 16:34, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. (Apparently, I am the redirect's creator.) I have absolutely no idea why the "me of 2012" created this redirect. Anyways, I have tagged the redirect with a Db-g7. Steel1943  (talk) 17:27, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

There's probably not a good target for this redirect where it could not be seen as ambiguous. Also, the edit history of this redirect seems to only refer to one "place": Princess Peach's Castle (which is a redirect.) Steel1943  (talk) 21:30, 13 May 2016 (UTC)


 *  Retarget  to Super_Mario, but the way the search term is phrased makes it an unlikely search term. I would Rename the redirects to Super Mario locations or List of Super Mario locations. <strong style="color:#606060;">AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 16:03, 16 May 2016 (UTC) updated 14:11, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - There are various settings of interest in the games, but the use of the word "buildings" throws this off. Honestly, since people aren't going to search this and the wording is so clunky, best to just get rid of the redirect. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 00:11, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Administrators' noticeboard/Keeper76??? Some sort of reference to turn their talk page into a noticeboard ??? Steel1943  (talk) 20:49, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I know, I guess what I don't understand is the context, not the reference. Seems to me like an inside joke. If so, and there aren't any competing uses, then I think it's harmless. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 21:32, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Anyways, with all that being said... Steel1943  (talk) 21:38, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Just to add a bit of back story here. Waaaaayy back, a bunch of people including myself used to hold informal discussions quite frequently about random things on Keeper76's talk page, and at some point the redirect was created as a joke. Nothing there was ever official, and it was never intended to be. From my point of view at the time, Keeper76 and the other people on there were quite level-headed compared to the crazy impetuous youth I was then. So I would often run things by them, and join in various discussions, etc. This brings back quite a few memories actually... With regard to the actual subject at hand, I have no comment on whether the redirect should exist or not.

 * Delete as confusing and possibly misleading WP:CNRs. Steel1943  (talk) 21:38, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Adding on to my rationale: Also, "delete" per precedent set at Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 September 18. Inside jokes are not appropriate for general reader use. Steel1943  (talk) 22:11, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * ... that's a very different redirect discussion, and this is never going to be used by general readers. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 09:54, 21 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep er, because it reminds me of a happier, more enjoyable Wikipedia community. Although User talk:Drmies kind of fulfills this "watercooler of the sane" purpose now, WP:AN/K was much better (sorry Drmies but it's true). Admittedly, reminding me (and other even older oldtimers) of better days is a relatively small benefit, but the theoretical confusion of someone typing it / choosing it by accident and is even smaller. Lots of incoming links that won't make sense if this is deleted.  Keep per WP:Not everything has to be boring, grey, and conforming. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:02, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep anything that prompts J.delanoy to edit again. Also per directly above. There's no evidence of any harm or confusion having been caused, and if it makes a handful of retired admins from another decade marginally more cheerful for a moment, then it's something worth keeping. –  Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 23:05, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Given there's no tracking of visitors search terms and subsequent behavior, there can be no evidence. The lack of evidence of a thing doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it means reason must be used in lieu of deductive logic. There's no evidence of extraterrestrial life, yet reasonable folks expend money on it SETI. There was no evidence of a Higgs Boson between 1964 and 2012, yet clearly, as long suspected, it exists. NE Ent 15:20, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
 * ...that argument undermines literally everything that Wikipedia stands for. By the way, I can think of plenty of assumptions that have turned out to be wildly inaccurate throughout history. –  Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 01:44, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

(Neelix) this is a queer one it is probably OK as but need a second check. We also have } so patently that will go as this goes. It's the "ic" at the back of the target that gives me the nagging doubt but this is probably fine isn't it? Si Trew (talk) 15:29, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - "Neurolinguist" looks improper to me, but searching finds exactly this sort of spelling being used by reliable sources even if it is non-standard even in terms of technical English. Yes, it's a Neelix redirect, but I'd just let it be. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 06:43, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Is this the most appropriate target for this redirect? It is too ambiguous and could easily be confused with the specific language called German. It could redirect to German language, but it could also redirect to High German languages, the branch of the West Germanic languages that includes German. Or it could be a disambiguation page - who knows what the community will decide is the most appropriate course of action, but this term is, in my opinion, too ambiguous for its current topic. &#60;&#60;&#60; SOME GADGET GEEK &#62;&#62;&#62; (talk) 11:55, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep this is fine User:Some Gadget Geek. I can see where you are coming from but we do have Germanic languages and so on so this is absolutely fine. It could redirect to Old High German or whatever, but leave it where it stands, people translating use this to tag as translation when they put the translation tag on as  but are not sure exactly what variant of german it is. Absolutely fine. Si Trew (talk) 12:04, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Retarget to Germanic languages; only just slightly preferable to deletion. Yes, it's somewhat ambiguous whether someone typing this wants info on modern German language or wants info about a family of languages and are confused about the name of the group. Either way, West Germanic languages is the wrong target. My assumption is that the plural search indicates a search for the group, and there is a hatnote at Germanic languages that points to German language anyway.

You try doing about a hundred Neelix redirects a day and see if you don't want to sing or shout about them. I'm sorry about that but I am trogging through them, nobody else is, and sometimes I just have to let off steam. This was one of them. It is more relevant than you realise because this was first ssung on 1956. Which under the copyright law, makes it sixty years old but not after the death of Michael Flanders. So it was not brought completely irrelevantly it was brought as test case. I do have my wits about me sometimes.
