Redirect that's an unused abbreviation for "wrong-way multiplex" which is a neologism. Neither the neologism nor the abbreviation are used in the target article (the better term based on reliable sources is "wrong-way concurrency") nor does a Google search turn up the WWM abbreviation as connected to the neologism. (Rather, it turns up several search terms and even a company's stock ticker, and those terms don't have articles.) Imzadi 1979 → 19:28, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • yep, there should be a "WWM" page, as there is one for ABC or CDA... - 84.227.76.140 (talk) 06:22, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I can't find anything notable that uses this abbreviations. Someone can create it when there is something. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 19:29, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Acronym Finder returns, among others,
    1. "Wigner-Weyl-Moyal" a theory in quantum mechanics which is alluded to in Wigner quasi-probability distribution but not directly discussed
    2. "Waste water management", a concept discussed at Sewage treatment
    3. "Woven wire mesh" which is described in other words at Chain-link fencing
    4. "Widowed White Male", a parallel to SWF described here
    5. "Working With Men", a UK-based charity which does not appear to have a Wikipedia article yet
    and some others that appear less notable. (Even by their loose standards, though, there's no listing for "wrong-way multiplex".) I think there is probably enough to support a disambiguation page but have no strong opinion about the contents. Rossami (talk) 23:01, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. JohnCD (talk) 15:13, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see that this one is helpful, but decided that the speedy probably wouldn't apply here. Calabe1992 19:13, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep 西山朝 was the official written name of Tây Sơn Dynasty. 梁棚元 (talk) 19:16, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete non-English characters, this redirects will never be typed English. ༆ (talk) 19:25, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • If non-English letters are never typed, why are so many European articles at names that are not English? 70.24.248.211 (talk) 06:41, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • "༆", is that supposed to be intentionally ironic? -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 14:33, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as the native name and therefore plausible synonym of the Tay Son Dynasty.--Lenticel (talk) 06:13, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep original language name of the topic, therefore likely to be used for searching for it. 70.24.248.211 (talk) 06:41, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Some users of the English Wikipedia do use alternate keyboards. More importantly, however, many of us use copy-paste to look for concepts we don't recognize. As long as the title is not confusing or actively harmful, the redirect is allowed. Rossami (talk) 04:13, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: There is no specific policy prohibiting non-English or non-Latin redirects. I'm too lazy to look for the past discussion myself, but I remember CaliforniaAliBaba mentioning that within the days following the death of Roh Moo-hyun, the search hits on the English Wikipedia for his name in Hangul skyrocketed. Non-English redirects do not disrupt Wikipedia, and deletion somewhat harms the project if you think about it. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 14:33, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy delete as completely useless and improbable. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 07:27, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect was created by a malfunctioning "US state abbreviations" bot abbreviating "Indiana Jones" to "IN Jones" in the page title Dante And Randal And Jay And Silent Bob And A Bunch Of New Characters And Lando, Take Part In A Whole Bunch Of Movie Parodies Including But Not Exclusive To, The Bad News Bears, The Last Starfighter, Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, Plus A High Scho, which has long since been moved to a more sane name and deleted. As this is equally unintelligible and has no chance of being searched due to the bot-introduced IN abbreviation, it isn't necesssary. Gurch (talk) 13:36, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
