- Delete while Britain did rule Hong Kong, and English is still legal in HK, the British Empire ruled many parts of the world, so this is best suited to Wiktionary, as only core parts of Britain should be considered for foreign language redirects.

Filmography/Videography and Discography pages already exist, there would not be a case where they need to be combined like this AngusWOOF (talk) 19:15, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
- Keep: this redirect is a result of page move from title where the article resided for 2 years, and the title is completely harmless. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 23:57, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was retarget to Sky Girls. No convincing case for keeping the present target has been made whist the retarget is clearly a plausible search term. However, a hatnote on the new target is a good idea. NAC. The Whispering Wind (talk) 22:45, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
- Sky girl → Flight attendant (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]
Retarget to Sky Girls, perhaps, I mean I could not find any uses of this term referring to flight attendants. - TheChampionMan1234 08:35, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Redundant title. - TheChampionMan1234 05:38, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
- Delete per nom: both native and international names together form an implausible search term. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 10:09, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

What language is this? Not romanised Russian, google is no help. - TheChampionMan1234 02:57, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
- Comment: "Moskva" is romanized Russian. When I look at ru:Москва the article starts with "Москва́" so I'm guessing the "á" is there to show where the stress is in the word: Russian_language#Orthography WhisperToMe (talk) 06:08, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:FORRED: á in this title is "latin small letter a with acute" which is not the way to place stress in English. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 09:45, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
