). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was retarget to Ring structure. --BDD (talk) 03:26, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(Neelix) I am not sure on this one. There are plenty of other ring structures that are not heterocyclic but homocylic. I think. If you take a basic

benzene ring fairly basic building block, not sure that is heterocylic because it has three double bonds and three single bonds. Need a chemistry expert on this one. (Neelix) Si Trew (talk) 20:33, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply

The result of the discussion was keep. -- Tavix (talk) 23:13, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

An atticist lives in a loft or does he? I am not that soft to see that this would make sense, right, but it is not at the target quite. Someone practicising atticism would presumably be an atticist but it does not say that: Is this one OK? (Neelix) Si Trew (talk) 20:29, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, could also be someone from Attica, someone speaking Attic Greek, or practicing Atticism. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:16, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@
Hellenist someone from Greece?--The Traditionalist (talk) 13:21, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply

Possibly. but I can strike that one. However, Wiktionary points to the Attic Greek. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Atticist AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:20, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@AngusWOOF: But they are closely related. An Atticist was a user (usually not a native speaker) of the Attic Greek who thought it superior to other dialects of Greek.--The Traditionalist (talk) 14:29, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It is rather useful. If someone writes [[atticist]] orator [[Dionysius of Halicarnassus]] believed that... and the redirect does not exist, it will result in a redlink. The existence of this redirect prevents that.--The Traditionalist (talk) 09:50, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - sensible alternate construction. A thingist is a practitioner of or adherent to thingism, that's standard English. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 14:15, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This term is used in reliable sources to describe people or things associated with Atticism. See, e.g., this book. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 22:47, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Neelix redirect, speedy declined. On the always-ludicrous "etymology" argument. Wash against doesn't really mean anything, and certainly not alluvium.

Notwithstanding the fact that the Monarchy has fallen in my part-fatherland, (sadly, if you ask me) the current pretender is, actually, his father, who is alive and has not abdicated. Apart from that, there is no redirect Pavlos I of Greece for his grand-father, a fact which makes the existence of the first one rather funny. The Traditionalist (talk) 14:42, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - The man doesn't go by either of these names, nor do they seem to be applied by him by reliable sources, so these redirects seem to serve no purpose other than to confuse. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 19:15, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. More crystal stuff. There's nothing to say they won't change that particular name. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:55, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Calling

The Masses (Egyptian newspaper)... I can take the Egyptian one which I believe is nonsense can you take the Thai one. No problem with the target just the back translation. Is this nonsense or makes sense in English? I have no knowledge of Thai but you may make sense of it. Si Trew (talk) 15:10, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply
]

Thanks. To be honest I would have thought a better translation would be like
The People (newspaper) although as far as I can make out they were essentially Soviet propaganda sheets (and toilet paper could get very short in those days). I don't like these back translations as they tend to "stick" that Google Translate then thinks that is how to forward translate something. Then again I don't really like Google Translate because it piles a lot of its rubbish on our doorstep. Delete per Lenticel. Si Trew (talk) 01:40, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply

WP:REDLINK seems to be the dominant opinion here. Deryck C. 21:23, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply

Delete per

WP:REDLINK. There's no mention of this position at the target article. It has one mention, linking this phrase, at Government of Rhode Island. As a statewide elected official, the office is no doubt notable. --BDD (talk) 15:32, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply

Do we have Rhode Island and Providence Platantations General Treasurer for example? Seems not. Si Trew (talk) 18:56, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oh well Paymaster General seems to be only in the UK but I think we used to own it once upon a time. I have a nice cheque from Her Majesty's Paymaster General to the tune of
HMRC two pounds and sixpence explaining I had not the Sterling on me right at the moment the equivalent in Hungarian forint with a bit left over "for the noticeboard". The thousand forint somehow got converted to Sterling at HMRC's internal rate I guess, I do not imagine at a bureau de change but I was pleased to see it arrived successfully and maybe it made someone's day. I was out of pocket by about thirty four pence on that one but so far I am up by two quid and sixpence with them over the years. They then sent me a receipt for the two pounds and sixpence back to Hungary which cost three pounds fifty seven for them to post recorded delivery. Very reasonable people at HMRC.

Clearly irrelevant to the target, not used in reliable sources except on not-especially-reliable right-wing websites. Certainly doesn't belong in current state, but could be redirected elsewhere if there is another page that discusses this phrase in detail. I couldn't find any such page, so I think this redirect should be deleted.
