 * Aura Soma → Chromotherapy (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aura_Soma&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

This is the second RfD for this redirect, see Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2012_April_28. Writing about Aura-Soma on en.wp has been disallowed because of WP:FRINGE (Articles for deletion/Aura-Soma). Articles on Aura-Soma still exist on the Slovak and Hungarian Wikipedias. Until recently those articles were listed on WikiData as interwikis for "Chromotherapy", which is probably why this has been created - as on de.wiki "Aura Soma" redirects to "Farbtherapie".

However this is inaccurate and not helpful. Aura-Soma is a company, not a synonym for Chromotherapy, and our article on Chromotherapy does not mention Aura-Soma once. I finally fixed the Wikidata issue and created a new entry just for sk:Aura-Soma and hu:Auraszóma and removed them from the one for Chromotherapy, so let's finally stop misdirecting users to places where the information they're looking for isn't. The result of that AfD was pretty clear, if someone wants info on Aura-Soma, they'll have to look somewhere else than en.wikipedia. – filelakeshoe (t / c) &#xF0F6;  14:13, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. "Aura-soma" (with a hyphen) is mentioned in passing at Aura (paranormal) but only in the sentence "Many New Age techniques that aim to clear blockages of the chakras were developed during those years [1980s and 1990s], such as crystal healing and aura-soma." As this wont help someone looking to learn even what this is it is not a useful target either. Thryduulf (talk) 20:17, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Himalayan languages → Pahari languages (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Himalayan_languages&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Himalayan languages are simply the languages of (the broader area of) the Himalayas. This includes the Pahari languages, but also other Indo-Aryan groups (like Dardic) and, more significantly, also a large number of Tibeto-Burman languages. In recent decades, the topic has received treatment as a language area, so this is an eligible title for an article. I'd rather have it deleted to encourage the creation of such an article rather than try redirecting to a place (like Himalayas, or Languages of South Asia) that doesn't yet have any relevant content. – Uanfala 12:21, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
