Editorialized article title. The target of the redirect would not be the article people would associate with renouncing citizenship (FATCA). Mrfrobinson (talk) 22:48, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, but Americans ARE renouncing citizenship in records numbers, and if I start an article about this phenomenon
wp:AfD. So does this mean consensus or censorship? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ottawahitech (talk

The fact you are stating is part of an article already, this redirect is actually extremely misleading because it points to ONE cause of the phenomenon and uses an editorialized headline. Secondly would this justify a standalone article? Thirdly, just because consensus doesn't agree with you doesn't make it censorship! You have some phenomenal edits to Wikipedia however not every single news article warrants a redirect nor is every topic/subject/event notable. Mrfrobinson (talk) 23:52, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the phrase you're looking for is "record numbers", not "records numbers". English doesn't inflect adjectives to match the nouns. 58.176.246.42 (talk) 17:39, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget - I'd be ok with retargeting to Renunciation of citizenship#United States if there were some info there about the recent trend. The stats show that this is very actively used, 74 hits in just the last few days. That's more than the noise usually generated by Rfd. However targeting it to a theorized cause is unwarranted editorializing, and the source used to make the connection doesn't really say that FATCA is the cause. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 18:01, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Actually the phenomenon is specifically mentioned there, so this is now my !vote. I'm not fussed over the grammatical error. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 18:03, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Still POV, news headline like and may or may not be true next week, year, or decade. So yes I would object. Legacypac (talk) 21:13, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unexpected redirect. Looks like an attempt to create a redirect from a subspace in the user namespace, but with the wrong namespace name, making it into a redirect from the article namespace instead.

Benutzer is the German for User - and the page was created by User Marcroelans - I moved the page from Benutzer:Marcroelans/Falko Steinbach to Falko Steinbach - don't know why I didn't request deletion of the original - it was 18 months ago - Please delete now - Arjayay (talk) 19:36, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Another literal translation of a Greek word that has many other meanings and will not help search. We've deleted hundreds of these translations. My hotel could be on the (traffic) circle. We could draw on the circle and so on. Legacypac (talk) 16:12, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. n.b., an AfD for this church closed as merge to the target article, but it looks like that didn't take place. Please contact me if there are attribution concerns. --BDD (talk) 20:05, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per

WP:REDLINK). Manchester is not mentioned at the target section, or indeed at all in the article. Considering that Metropolitan Community Churchis
also a redirect to the same target, anyone typing (or AutoCompleting) this specific title presumably wants info about the church in Manchester, specifically.

For now, I've marked as {{R to section}}. Si Trew (talk) 08:38, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

highly unlikely search term, including small k kansas. No real reason for it to exist - it was created via several strange page moves [1] . Basically housekeeping to delete it. Legacypac (talk) 02:18, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just being pedantic: the search engine is not case sensitive. If "...from Kansas" is useful then the current title is equally useful. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 21:45, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Renaming a redirect only compounds the issue by creating another redirect. If this is useful, then we really should have a similar redirect for every state, and then start on regions like Southeast, Northwest, and large cities like LA, Chicago, Boston etc. till we have 398 obscure redirects like a former admin. created to a window article. I also see this as a slippery slope toward more of these slice and dice longevity lists. Legacypac (talk) 23:14, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
More such lists would be fantastic. I agree we wouldn't have much use for lists for each state, but having a redirect in place can have the effect of discouraging creation of an article. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 18:06, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply

There's a couple currently living as well. Just for completeness' sake. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 22:02, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Are you sure? I double checked the 'living' list and still didn't see any Kansasians there. Although I did miss
Benjamin Harrison Holcomb earlier (oldest man from Kansas). -- Tavix (talk) 22:08, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply

Oops, I was looking at the "oldest by state" list. So, three total. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 22:18, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
