 * Fidél Castro → Fidel Castro (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fid%C3%A9l_Castro&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Not a valid alternative spelling. -  C HAMPION  (talk) (contributions) (logs) 23:28, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. While it seems a likely typo, my quick Google search reveals that it's not actually made very often, and when it is it's usually in languages other than Spanish. While it does little harm, nothing links to it beyond notifications for this RfD, it averages one hit a month, and the search engine is ignorant of diacritical marks so deleting it will do no harm: keeping is mildly harmful in that it means editors can link through it unwittingly, although presumably from time to time those of a gnomish tendency look through the category for, with which I have just marked it.

 * The result of the discussion was 'delete. JohnCD (talk) 15:49, 4 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Fishing Creek (South Carolina) → Fishing Creek (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fishing_Creek_(South_Carolina)&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

A redirect, with one incoming link, to a DAB page on which there is no relevant entry other than a circular link. I suggest deletion to turn the links red, or the article will never get written. Narky Blert (talk) 22:27, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * (Alternatively - and better - someone could write the article instead. I wouldn't have the first idea where to start. Narky Blert (talk) 22:36, 26 November 2016 (UTC)}


 * Delete per WP:REDLINK. Thryduulf (talk) 19:49, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete to encourage article creation. — Gorthian (talk) 22:36, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Round table tennis

 * 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 all.     Deryck C. 16:09, 8 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Round table tennis → Table tennis (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Round_table_tennis&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]


 * Round corner table tennis → Table tennis (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Round_corner_table_tennis&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]


 * Rounded corner table tennis → Table tennis (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rounded_corner_table_tennis&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Round-cornered table tennis tables do exist, but there's not much to say about them, and in particular the target article says nothing. A reader searching for rounded tables specifically will be misled and disappointed; a reader who isn't searching for that style of table specifically will simply search "table tennis". 64.105.98.115 (talk) 21:16, 26 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, unless there's a decent section at target that discusses other shapes for table tennis courts. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 15:45, 27 November 2016 (UTC)


 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page.

 * The result of the discussion was keep and create BTA drill. JohnCD (talk) 16:00, 4 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Bta drill → Drill bit (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bta_drill&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Weak delete. According to the section, it's sometimes called a BTA drill, but the caps here is wrong, and that's red... Si Trew (talk) 18:51, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep and create the correctly capitalised version. and  are valid combinations so there is no reason to delete. Thryduulf (talk) 19:51, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Drag bit → Drill bit (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Drag_bit&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]
 * Bit drag → Drill bit (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bit_drag&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Delete both, WP:RFD confusing. No mention of drag at the target. Si Trew (talk) 18:48, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete all - I agree that these seem confusing and not particularly helpful. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 19:44, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was delete. -- Tavix ( talk ) 01:52, 9 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Forstnerbohrer → Drill bit (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Forstnerbohrer&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Delete as WP:RFOREIGN. No particular affinity to German; WP:RFD confusing, not at target. An article exists at de:Forstnerbohrer (which IW's to Drill bit, not via this redirect: that's done the old-fashioned way and not via Wikidata). Si Trew (talk) 18:37, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I've IW linked the German article to this via Wikidata but I can only do so because it's not a redirect... I tried to link it to the redirect {[-r|Forstner bit}}, but Wikidata won't have that. Si Trew (talk) 18:42, 26 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - The topic isn't specifically related to Germany, the German people, et cetera at all. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 15:50, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page.

 * Concealed hinge drill → Drill bit (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Concealed_hinge_drill&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]


 * Delete, not at target (in the given section or any other), thus WP:RFD confusing. There are quite a few redirects to this target, so I may add others. Si Trew (talk) 18:27, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

Delete as WP:RFD confusing, not at target (nor at its previous target, Non-denominational Muslim). Si Trew (talk) 01:50, 16 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Retarget to Ahl-i Hadith. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 14:56, 16 November 2016 (UTC).

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Retarget to Taqlid. Literally translated, it means non-taqlidist and could refer to a variety of such Islamic movements. --HyperGaruda (talk) 15:47, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, BDD (talk) 05:47, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Taqlid (where the term is explained) per HyperGaruda., do you think this is a better target than Ahl-i Hadith? – Uanfala (talk) 10:00, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Taqlid per HyperGaruda -- Lenticel ( talk ) 02:24, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Not linked from anywhere, not plausible for a typo. -  C HAMPION  (talk) (contributions) (logs) 02:22, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep, seems a likely mis-bracket or cut-and-paste error. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 18:01, 26 November 2016 (UTC).


 * Delete per nom. Steel1943  (talk) 18:53, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete – Where shall we stop?!#,: — JFG talk 13:59, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. While adding commas within the link happens often, it shouldn't be encouraged as it is WP:COSTLY. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 15:52, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was delete. Someone needs to clear this trainwreck.

Discussion
These whole lot of redirects are very inconsistent with one another for some are WikiProjects, others redirecting to a template on the topics, yet others to administrative divisions, and worst of all, some point to a template about a narrow and certain topic about the country, thus, these should all be deleted. PS, some of the entries at the list I have at User:Champion/Template:(country)_redirects are actually templates rather than redirects, so I'm not sure what to do with them, anyway, they are beyond the scope of RFD. -  C HAMPION  (talk) (contributions) (logs) 00:35, 26 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Why not just make it a redirect before nominating for deletion? Jon Harald Søby (talk) 03:37, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete all: This is a confusing mess and has been one for years, and worsening all the time. After bot cleanup of the use of all of these redirs, it might make sense to replace these with disambiguation pages that present all the templates with each country name in the title, and which throw a big red error (the way broken citation templates do) if one attempts to transclude the DAB page. Even without that suggestion being implemented, these confusing redirs needs to go away.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  01:27, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * PS:, please combine all these into a single nomination. You can use to create anchors for the removed redundant headings if you don't want to manually update the "straggler" RfD notices to point to the combined section. This will obviate any perceived need to add redundant support/oppose comments to each of the sections above.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  01:27, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I have just ✅ it all, thank you. -  C HAMPION  (talk) (contributions) (logs) 01:29, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * This might be better off as an RfC. At the very least, the relevant WikiProjects should be notified of this RfD. Patar knight - chat/contributions 03:00, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * One site-wide process like TfD, in which anyone can participate, and which is relevant for the issue at hand, is already appropriate and adequate. An RfC, or an RM, would not be any more or less likely to reach a satisfactory conclusion; they're all exactly the same kind of general consensus discussion intended to draw in a broader, not narrower audience. Canvassing country wikiprojects will just artificially narrow the input to that from parties with a penchant for special exceptionalism and against consistency.  These redirs are being used totally randomly, often counterintuitively, and many were created without any wikiproject input of any kind, and in different periods (e.g. before  was a standardized wikiproject banner naming convention, after the invention of navboxes, during the creation and spread of ISO country code templates, and on).  It's routine for our namespace issues to be cleaned up toward consistency without begging buy-in from particular special interests. If you invite commentary from 100+ country wikiprojects, as input that is somehow especially sought over that of Wikipedians who actually focus on template and redirect naming as a systematic matter, it's very likely to be unhelpful. Many wikiprojects consist of only 1–3 active editors (if that), often resistant to anyone messing with "their" pages, so we'd probably get a boatload of unproductive bickering.  This is not a country-related matter; it's simply coincidental that this batch of messy template redirects happened to be about countries (the next one could be about something radically different). This is a namespace cleanup and template logistics and infrastructure matter, like many multi-redir noms are, and as we commonly see at CfD and other venues where internal page naming consistency arises frequently. That's an all-Wikipedia issue, not a "will parochial wikiprojects, that often have scope-overreach and proprietary-behavior problems, all agree with each other and will that voting bloc in turn agree with everyone else?" matter. PS: I say all that as founder and co-founder of numerous wikiprojects; I'm simply aware of their limitations and territorial tendencies, especially when they're geographical, ethnic, or linguistic in scope. It's no accident that a high percentage of ArbCom cases are centered on politco-cultural topics.
 * delete and salt all of them. editors frequently use these instead of standard wikilinks or flags and get unintended results in the articles. Frietjes (talk) 14:05, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete all because they are confusing. Such redirects could refer to various kinds of templates, as demonstrated by nom's list of RfDs. --HyperGaruda (talk) 18:44, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: Some of these redirects have transclusions, some in the article namespace. The transclusions will need to be resolved prior to these redirects being deleted. Steel1943  (talk) 18:56, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt to prevent further errors. — JFG talk 14:02, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Retarget all to their respective wrapper templates of Template:Flag to call a link to the country as well as its flag. See Category:Flag template shorthands for more details. This alternative seems more useful than straight out deletion. However, if this option is pursued, I would recommend that all of the redirects received template protection afterwards. Steel1943  (talk) 15:02, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep all. These are basically niche template shortcuts. I don't see why standardising them or deleting them will be of overwhelming benefit over just letting each of them point to a relevant template of a slightly different description. Deryck C. 16:07, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Retarget per Steel1943. This solves the nominator's issue of inconsistency without the nuclear option of deletion. My second choice would be keeping as-is, since I don't think inconsistency alone is an argument for deletion. -- Tavix ( talk ) 01:46, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
