• Athletics(sport) → Athletics  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I would have used "R3: Redirects as a result of an implausible typo or misnomers that were recently created" but its not recently created. We already have

• Delete - I can see somebody typing this in, but I would think that he or she would immediately correct things. It doesn't appear really useful. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 20:11, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete – implausible. Note that I have also made a bot request which should end up with Athletics (sport) being a redirect to disambiguation anyway SFB 21:05, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment – I tidy up a lot after other editors and some have no concept of spaces whatsoever; they put them where they don't belong or they simply omit them where they do belong. Hence, I don't think it's an unlikely typo. Case in point can be found in this conversation. Schwede66 00:42, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. No such usage without the space. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:00, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Markus Gerbrandt → Bemidji State Beavers men's ice hockey  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

• Comment how is it XY? Could be deleted for not meeting
  Sparta Warriors. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:42, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply

• Delete: That's exactly why, Angus: there is no redirect target that's overwhelmingly more appropriate than any other. The redirect creator did hundreds of these garbage redirects to bump up his new creations count (something for which he was eventually community banned both from redirect and new article creation), and they followed this exact pattern: redirecting from some desperately obscure NN hockey player to one of the teams he once played for. Frankly, I'd also consider this an implausible search term. Ravenswing 18:58, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

* Delete then. I've also removed the redlinks on the Sparta Warriors page so that more aren't created. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:01, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Definitely XY. -DJSasso (talk) 12:48, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Transatlanticism (politics) → United States Mission to the European Union  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

While the United States Mission to the European Union could be considered part of transatlanticism in politics, the target is far too narrow. Without a target that adequately explains the term, I recommend deletion. -- Tavix ^(talk) 03:03, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Tavix: "transatlanticism" as a political initiative in reliable sources/Gbooks refers primarily to the TEP/NTA both of which fall with the remit of the United States Mission to the European Union. What other areas outside United States Mission to the European Union do you see the term covering in a political sense, NATO? In ictu oculi (talk) 07:53, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - Does anybody else think that this as a broad concept should be detailed in the article 'Atlanticism', particularly in terms of 'Atlanticism#History' or some other section? Then, we can retarget over to that particular section. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 20:13, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good find! The descriptions at Atlanticism are pretty much exactly what I was thinking of when I was researching this term. Retarget there (and there's no need to target the section). -- Tavix ^(talk) 20:32, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Atlanticism. It's a synonym and a plausible redirect.[1]--Cúchullain ^t/c 17:59, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as this could plausibly retarget to more than one article and isn't very useful anyway, or retarget to Atlanticism as the least bad target. Station1 (talk) 17:48, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• 2027 Southeast Asian Games →
  Southeast Asian Games  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete

• Delete per nominator. The article gives no information beyond the 2025 games (and even that is just that it is scheduled to be held in Thailand). Thryduulf (talk) 16:26, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
