• Ɡ → Voiced velar plosive  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The character itself is a script G. It's a capital script G, but the page has a lowercase tag on it. The page

  Ɡ. It is more useful for a character that is only used as a phonetic symbol to redirect to an article about the phoneme it represents than to an article with a brief mention of the symbol’s typographical design. Also, the capital ⟨Ɡ⟩ itself is only used as a phonetic symbol, in contexts where the IPA is modified to include capitalization. Gorobay (talk) 15:44, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply

• Keep. I don't know of any uses for this symbol other than in phonetics, so redirecting it to a list of letters seems unnecessarily convoluted. Glades12 (talk) 08:57, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy keep. Disruptive nomination. Last RfD on this redirect was closed barely a few hours ago.

Not really understanding the purpose of these redirects. In theory, these are meant to refer to a sort of prefix of the subject of the target article, they could equally refer to the Czech Republic. Steel1943 (talk) 21:53, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

These two were the results of moves to modify their target's titles to the correctly spaced format in their disambiguators. They don't seem to be getting very many pageviews nowadays, so I'm not sure why we still need them here. Regards, SONIC⁶⁷⁸ 21:52, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: With the Umayyad Caliphate and later Caliphates in Al-Andalus as well as the cities of Ceuta and Melilla's being Spanish adminstered cities claimed by Morocco whose only land borders are Morocco, I would argue there's an affinity between Spain and the Arabic language. TartarTorte 22:17, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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

Does not seem like a plausible misspelling. Also, third-party search engines do not return any results of any webpages that use the spelling specifically. (In theory, the existence of this redirect could rationalize the need to create additional redirects using a lowercase Q instead of a lowercase A ... but that's

• Delete: While it's a typo one could make, so is Frznce but that doesn't (and shouldn't) exist. TartarTorte 22:18, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, it is not a typo in the sense of hitting the wrong key, or not knowing how to spell it; it's what happens if you hit the right key but are using the wrong keyboard. I switch back and forth from the QWERTY and the AZERTY keyboards all the time, and this is a very common happenstance with me. "Frqnce" is exactly what you get if you forget to switch; I do it all the time. A very natural misspelling, and very helpful if we don't force the user to type a second time, just to get to the article they obviously wish to see. Frznce is no more likely to occur than many other unlikely misfires (from two rows away) that do not need a redirect here. Mathglot (talk) 00:43, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  I completely forgot about AZERTY keyboards. Striking my delete and changing to keep based on AZERTY. TartarTorte 15:49, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Per Mathglot and the AZERTY/QWERTY A→Q mapping. TartarTorte 15:50, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Mathglot and TartarTorte, due to the keyboard mapping. I agree with the nice statement mentioned. 49.228.139.154 (talk) 05:30, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Mathglot, makes sense. Backed up by views and the redirect's creation request. J947 † ^edits 22:05, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
