We need to discuss what to do with these redirects. Now they all have different targets. Is it OK, or should we have a common policy for them? I suggest to redirect to articles about the countries themselves, with the exception of New Zealand, since the Realm of New Zealand also includes two associated states except for New Zealand itself. I did already the same with all 16 Commonwealth realms. But I don't know if this is the best solution? I want to listen to the opinions of more experienced colleagues. Somerby (talk) 15:38, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hmm. I think you have the right idea. I'm tempted by the "Monarchy of" articles, just because they're more specific, but ultimately, a kingdom is a place, and a monarchy is an institution. So the right targets are the geographic areas corresponding to the realms, which in all cases but one are coterminous with the country. --BDD (talk) 21:26, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Somerby, you have only just created
    Kingdom of New Zealand. I'm curious – why did you create it? Nurg (talk) 10:38, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply
    ]
    Nurg, this term is used in sources, where it denote the geographic area corresponding to the Realm of New Zealand. Thus I redirected it to the Realm of New Zealand. if you think that the target should be different, then let us discuss your proposal. Strictly speaking, the state is headed by a female, but there is no such word Queendom --Somerby (talk) 11:09, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks Somerby. Could you give references to two of those sources please. Nurg (talk) 20:40, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    No references have been provided for "Kingdom of New Zealand" so I am unable to verify what they might be referring to. In fact, I am left with the suspicion that "Kingdom of New Zealand" is just a name made up on Wikipedia. In that case such a redirect is not needed. If it is kept, it might as well redirect to Realm of New Zealand, in the absence of any information about the name. Nurg (talk) 07:34, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    There is a United Kingdom of New Zealand group, I'm not sure exactly what it is but it isn't anything recognised by the rest of the world. The sentence "The Kingdom of New Zealand also includes the self-governing autonomous states of the Cook Islands and Niue, and Tokelau." appears on many of the different websites operated by flagtheory.com which seems to be a private organisation dealing with small businesses wanting to do business internationally. Other than that I can't find any other uses of the term. Thryduulf (talk) 10:42, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks Thryduulf. We can ignore the UK of NZ one, as that is not the redirect term. I hadn't found the flagtheory.com use in my own searches so thanks for that one. They appear to be mistakenly using "Kingdom of New Zealand" when they mean "Realm of New Zealand", so that redirect is ok as it is. Nurg (talk) 02:27, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • WP:TRAINWRECK; each one of these is different and there's no point in discussing them together. The only really common element is that these are colonies of the British Empire which acquired responsible self-government in the 19th century while maintaining allegiance to the British Crown, but Britain used the term Dominion
    to purposefully avoid calling them Kingdoms. But since we're already here:
    • Keep Kingdom of Canada, and refine section per 85.67. That section best explains the origin and use of the term, and why it didn't become the name of the country. A see-also could be made there to Monarchy of Canada for interested readers but there really isn't a lot there on the "Kingdom of Canada" name.
    • Keep Kingdom of Australia. There is a Name of Australia article but the word "Kingdom" appears there only once, and as you would expect that instance is immediately preceded by "United"; that is, there is no information there and no apparently prominent uses of the term "Kingdom of Australia", except I did come across an anti-government and anti-vaccine Kingdom of Australia group on Facebook.
    • Neutral on Kingdom of New Zealand. This appears to be a situation like the Kingdom of Denmark redirects that came up recently, where the sovereign country consisting of the North and South islands is called "New Zealand", but there are related partially-self-governing territories which rely on the Monarchy of New Zealand for defense and foreign relations, as described in the Realm article. But I find that confusing and don't really want to give an opinion. Ivanvector's squirrel (trees/nuts) 15:27, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Don't see the rationale in this redirect, the only one of its kind, no other language has a redirect like this, and with good reason, I can't imagine anyone at all is going to be searching up this instead of just the article title. Loafiewa (talk) 16:57, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned at the target, doesn't unambiguously refer to it; a GScholar search suggests that this term often alternatively refers to the Roman Empire, the sphere of influence of the Roman Catholic Church, and/or the southwestern European region of Romance-language speaking countries and their colonies. In the absence of a clear target, deletion seems like it may be the best option. signed, Rosguill talk 16:03, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I personally made the page in reference to the work of the polish historian Feliks Koneczny, who used the term in his theory of civilisations, with the latin civilisation being characterised through its legal, ethical and cultural heritage gained from the Roman Empire and the Catholic Church (note: Koneczny did not view civilisation as inherently tied to religion, he did view it as being fundamentally tied to it. He viewed England as a country that kept much of its former Catholic heritage even when it became protestant.). His usage of the term aligns with what one would call the 'Western civilisation', with it being commonly synonymous in Poland. It also has a Polish Wikipedia page. Nonetheless I see that I failed to consider other usages of the term, as such I would propose to convert the redirect into a disambiguation page.

I'm liking the idea of a disambiguation page - it very clearly is an ambiguous term with multiple meanings. A disambiguation page would mean also that the reader would get some context about why they should be going to the western culture article (assuming that is where they wanted to go), even if nothing is added to that article. --Xurizuri (talk) 09:32, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that there is no obvious target (unlike, say,
Arabic civilisation, which would clearly go to Arab world). Western culture would be defensible, as would be Legacy of the Roman Empire (probably the closest to the sense Kanclerz describes). As would Roman Empire/Ancient Rome. Yeah, a most logical solution would be to have short disambig page with a longer than average write-up to explain the concept, and then links to the plausible targets.
