The result of the discussion was delete. Deryck C. 13:49, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There's no information about this in the target page, or in

Vehicle registration plates of British overseas territories, and it looks like there was nothing there when this redirect was created. Peter James (talk) 22:51, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply

Delete no information to provide. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:16, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete with no civilan government and no way to drive to the BIOT I'd be surprised if they have plates. Maybe... but if they have them a redlink is better. Legacypac (talk) 01:38, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a useful redirect? I can't see anyone using this as a search term here. Adam9007 (talk) 22:38, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This was just created today, so there's no search history. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:17, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not sure about this - not much of a reason to keep or to delete. I think that anyone who wants to know is more likely to look at the Mars article and find information and a link to the target page there. Peter James (talk) 23:42, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Zach Gage was a/the programmer for Ridiculous Fishing, but ultimately, they are not related. He also worked on other games, such as

  • Retarget to SpellTower, the game for which he's best known. (I wrote that one years after RF.) "Ridiculous Fishing article holds no information on the redirected subject." Then you didn't search, as his name appears five times. I have plenty of sources for an article on the developer at User:Czar/drafts/Zach Gage (they're also in the page history) had you asked. Going overboard with these repeated noms. I am no longer watching this pageping if you'd like a response czar 15:24, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Search results are better in this situation as they're able to give articles on several games he's worked on, rather than funneling our readers into just one game. As Czar has shown that he's likely notable, this would also have the added benefit of
    WP:REDLINK deletion to encourage article creation. -- Tavix (talk) 21:05, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply

"Just one game" for which he's best known... I don't see how removing the redirect does the encyclopedia any good, or how creating a redlink in place of a redirect somehow stimulates article growth. czar 18:23, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Let's say someone searches "Zach Gage". Right now, there's a redirect in place and they are redirected to

  • Delete per nom, he has worked on more games than just that so it'd be incorrect to redirect to an arbitrary game. Should be deleted unless notable enough for an article.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 03:14, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Obama bin laden

The result of the discussion was speedy keep. Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 June 4#Obama Bin Laden was less than a month ago, and that discussion was well participated. There's little point in rehashing that discussion so soon, and it seems others agree with me. -- Tavix (talk) 01:46, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is nof a redirect from a misspelling, it is an insinuation that President Obama is a terrorist. I see no value to the reader or the project here. Obviously Osama bin Ladan never used this as an alternative name. It could also be read as an XY situation where it could refer to either person equally. Delete it. Legacypac (talk) 19:13, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware that it has been both kept and, I understand, deleted before. I don't think these are helpful, a view shared by a number of other editors at the linked RfD. Legacypac (talk) 19:27, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging Legacypac, just in case. BTW, I share your concerns as well, but we must be consistent, i.e. either "keep all" or "delete all". Also, nominating one of the serial redirects after nine days of closure seems too soon. George Ho (talk) 20:31, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Although the nomination is not without merit, I really don't see the point of rehashing a discussion a week after it was closed. – Uanfala 20:33, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Agree the 3 redirects should be nominated together. I'm not near a computer and very hard for me to add the other two on my phone. I would not have closed that last discussion as keep but rather no consensus. Legacypac (talk) 21:39, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all per

WP:FORRED as there is no strong affinity I have found between Norway and respectively Dutch, Spanish, French (accented and R without diacritics), German and Polish/Indonesian. Germany did occupy Norway during WWII but I don't think that makes it sufficiently likely that people will be using the German name to look up information about Norway in English.

The result of the discussion was delete. There is little desire to keep the redirects as they are and a set of retargets cannot be agreed upon. Deryck C. 13:54, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

At the very least these two redirects should point to the same place (they were created as-is about a minute apart by

WP:FORRED applies. If kept (and I'm presently neutral about whether they are useful), I think that the disambiguation page at Norwegian is possibly the best target. I'll alert the Norwegian and Icelandic wikiprojects to this discussion. Thryduulf (talk) 13:23, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply

Ancient human

talk page or in a deletion review
). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was disambiguate. There is agreement that no one article is the most suitable target (although there are stronger arguments against Ancient history), and creating a disambiguation page is the lowest common denominator of the opinions expressed. The particular form of the disambiguation page is not tied to the result of the discussion, I've tentatively created one at Ancient humans. I haven't included all of Thryduulf's suggestions, but editors are welcome to do so. (non-admin closure) – Uanfala 09:57, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

These redirects from Ancient to archaic seem problematic. Ancient doesn't usually refer to the early species and subspecies of what would later be modern humans, but the early recorded history of modern humans. I think a retarget would be appropriate here.

  • Disambig as noted by Joe above this is a common way to refer to human ancestors, and a search for "ancient human" in Google returns almost exclusively results about human ancestors or prehistoric humans, rather than humans who lived in the period covered by the
    Ancient world article. I do also think it's a plausible search term. There are several possible targets for this usage so a disambig page makes the most sense. Hut 8.5 21:21, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply

Can't find anything out there or in recent versions of Street football about this supposed variation. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:55, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • For most of its history the target contained a lengthy section with descriptions of various street football games, Richard being one of them [5]. It was removed in 2013 by Longwayround [6], who doesn't appear to be active anymore. – Uanfala 11:52, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Thanks Clarityfiend for inviting me. I wrote the original description of richard. It's a street game in Uruguay, so it's nearly impossible to find proper sources in internet. The closest is this twit by a football news website, asking people how they pronounce the word. Since all descriptions of variants have been deleted a long time ago, there's not much left to do. Perhaps some day I'll do a video interview to some kids. --NaBUru38 (talk) 22:37, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
