 * Universal ruler → World domination (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Unlikely search term for the current target, "universal ruler" is a term that is used in various physical sciences and design fields to refer to measuring-rulers with universal properties. Even in the context of rulers as in "those who rule", "universal ruler" has been used to refer to various leaders who ruled far less than the whole world (e.g. Henry_VI,_Holy_Roman_Emperor, Genghis Khan, Vikramaditya), and it is also a term that can have theological implications beyond world domination (e.g. Chakravarti (Sanskrit term)). In the absence of a suitable redirect target, I think that this redirect should be deleted. signed,Rosguill talk 18:15, 18 December 2021 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * To the extent that there are multiple possible meanings covered in the encyclopedia, disambiguate. BD2412  T 18:32, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Except these terms are underdeveloped at their respective Wikipedia articles, they briefly mention "universal ruler" but otherwise do not provide much information about the phrase. In such a scenario, internal search results seems more helpful IMO. signed,Rosguill talk 19:41, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. If there is no specific meaning with significant coverage on WP to point to, or set of such possible meanings to disambiguate, defer to search results. Mdewman6 (talk) 21:06, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete as ambiguous. A Search reveals 58 other mentions with no common article. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 18:07, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. I would expect the phrase to be discussed somewhere on Wikipedia (Emperor? Universal monarchy? Sovereignty?), but it doesn't appear to be. In the absence of such content, I don't think it would make sense to create a dab page that just lists the various other terms (like Chakravartin or Gurkhan), that have sometimes been translated into English as "universal ruler". – Uanfala (talk) 19:27, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Mercator projectoin → Mercator projection (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

The only redirect with this typo for "projection". This typo is handled well by the search engine; this redirect may make it marginally quicker for readers making the typo while searching for Mercator, but it makes it a lot harder for readers who make the typo while searching for all other projections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uanfala (talk • contribs) 15:05, 18 December 2021 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Template:Chemical infobox → Template:Chembox (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Delete. Unused. Improbable variant name; incorrect variant name&mdash;the infobox is not (adjective) 'chemical'. Unused for a reason then, no need to keep non-intuitive name variants. DePiep (talk) 07:12, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Quite reasonable alternative name for the template, given that it is an infobox used in articles about chemicals. Mdewman6 (talk) 08:36, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * No, the alternative name would be (btw, that name is discussed elsewhere ie not available now). wrt 'reasonable', I wrote about in my OP. -DePiep (talk) 08:53, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Gonnym (talk) 13:38, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep I fail to see what's implausible about this. Putting the word infobox at the end was deemed plausible at Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 October 29 (although in that case the nominator was a sockpuppet). * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 04:55, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't see how sockpuppetry is an argument in this. Anyway, as you wrote there: "infobox after the title". As noted, the title (or object) is not "chemical (adjective) infobox". iow, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. And declaring this mistake as reasonable, would that apply to ~all infoboxes? -DePiep (talk) 05:47, 30 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep If I recall correctly, I created that redirect because I typed Chemical infobox instead of Chembox at least twice when creating pages, then I got confused why the template wasn't working when previewing the page, so I made that redirect so that that substitution wouldn't mess anything up if I made that mistake again then forgot to preview the page. I therefore think that the substitution is reasonable. Care to differ or discuss with me? The Nth User 21:06, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. The fact that it's unusued casts doubt on it being that helpful in practice, but it's plausible and unambiguous. To answer DePiep's question, I wouldn't have a problem with creating Foo infobox for every Infobox foo, although I don't think that that would be a good use of any editor's time. Furthermore, while OTHERSTUFF may nominally apply to all deletion discussions, both its wording and its common usage are largely about AfD. RfD frequently looks to past RfDs, existing redirects, and such to determine whether a redirect is appropriate. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 02:36, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
