The result of the discussion was Delete. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 10:43, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seems utterly implausible. Ironholds (talk) 19:46, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Links and pageviews suggest that only the creator has used it since it's creation. It is not mentioned at the target article. All of the five google hits I see are Wikipedia and derivative pages. The most appropriate guideline I found is WP:DABABBREV, which states Do not add articles to abbreviation or acronym disambiguation pages unless the target article defines the acronym or abbreviation." While this is discussing disambiguation pages, the spirit of the guideline applies to redirects as well: if the acronym is not included at the target, and it is not notable enough to warrant adding there, then a redirect is unwise. I would also like to reply in advance to the hypothetical counter-argument that the acronym is unambiguous and unnecessary to mention at the target because a reader can sort out where it came from: remember, it's the principle of least astonishment, not the principle of not very much astonishment.

  • Delete, well as creator, I was unaware of the policy when I created it, on the lines of redirects like LOHGBF. If it is indeed useless, its definitely worth deleting. Thanks. Secret of success (talk) 14:44, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy keep (type 1), withdrawn by nominator as the underlying issue has been corrected. BigNate37(T) 07:04, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Malformed template that only serves as redirect to main namespace. To avoid misunderstandings: templates are not supposed to act as a simple redirect from the template namespace to the main namespace. Templates are supposed to "do" something (present an infobox, navigation or the likes). The Banner talk 18:14, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Template links to 5 pages that do not otherwise link to one another. If needed, I will describe in part which pages do not link to which. As can be seen, the intention is to create navboxes out of the article names.--Jax 0677 (talk) 20:30, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete. Tikiwont (talk) 17:04, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete there are multiple games called "Black Ops"/"Black Operations" and there are the real world black ops, which would use the real world M60 gun or other M60s, so this isn't a useful redirect, as it is ambiguous. 76.65.128.252 (talk) 11:53, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete all per established practice for such redirects. Ruslik_Zero 18:55, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this language is unrelated to the target. Nothing to do with her Mexican, Irish, Italian, and English roots. WP:NOTDICT, Wikipedia is not a translation dictionary. There is the outcome from a similar RFD last year which was to delete this kind of redirect, where the language in question was not closely related to the topic at hand. The result was endorsed at DRV a couple of months ago, as well. 76.65.128.252 (talk) 04:32, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this language is unrelated to the target. Nothing to do with her Italian or French-Canadian roots, or English-language of her songs. WP:NOTDICT, Wikipedia is not a translation dictionary.

Delete these are in a language unrelated to the primary markets (North America, Japan) or the production studios (US studios, English) or primary publisher (Activision, US, English) of the video game.

Delete This is directly related to the last Selena Gomez RFD last year which was to delete this kind of redirect, where the language in question was not closely related to the topic at hand. The result was endorsed at DRV a couple of months ago, as well. WP:NOTDICT, Wikipedia is not a translation dictionary. -- 76.65.128.252 (talk) 10:14, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • How is it useful as a navigation aid? If a person is reading the English WP, what are the chances that they are typing in whatever سلنا ماری گومز is, as a search term? Especially when that is not a language that the subject of the Article has any particular connection too. (Does the subject of this Article speak, read or write any of these languages?) It is far beyond more than likely readers would go to a 'pedia that they both type, and read in; that makes it not useful as a search term on English Wikipedia.
