Trolly Line → Trolley Line Number 9 Trail (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Delete as unlikely and misspelled redirect - the redirect was created (it appears) only because an editor was confused about the technical limitations of article names. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:26, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Tram. Trolley line, which this redirect is a misspelling of, redirects there. --Lenticel ^(talk) 00:04, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget per Lenticel. current target is highly inappropriate. Tag as {{R from typo}} & {{R from alternate name}} -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 06:02, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bang Bang (telenovela) → Fernanda Lima (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

The redirect should be deleted cause it's inappropriate to redirect a TV show to one of the actors. At last there's no further information about the telenovela provided in Fernanda Lima. So a red link would be the better choice and an appropriate solution in this case. 84.141.7.214 (talk) 16:36, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Intrasomatic model → Out-of-body experience (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

delete: This was deleted in February 2013 but was created as a redirect to a passage which does not mention this obscure and non-notable notion. Mangoe (talk) 15:37, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Capital of Macau → Macau (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

There is no official capital of Macau. - The ChampionMan 1234 03:30, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your compelling evidence. It's not only a pointless but a fallacious redirect which has to be deleted. --84.141.7.214 (talk) 17:00, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom.--Lenticel ^(talk) 00:04, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment there is the legislature Macau Legislative Assembly Building -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 06:07, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Of course but what has that got to do with the subject? For example: there are legislative buildings in Hong Kong too - but (assuming that capital ≠ capitol) there are no capitals - either of Hong Kong or of Macao. --84.141.7.42 (talk) 10:47, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - "o" and "a" is a minor difference, where redirects are frequently created. -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 03:06, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No affinity for Spanish. - The ChampionMan 1234 03:24, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Interpretation centre. --BDD (talk) 14:01, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Visitor interpretive center → Adirondack Park Agency visitor interpretive centers (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

There are many many places called "visitor interpretive center" - this is essentially a generic name redirecting to a specific place Oiyarbepsy (talk) 02:34, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comment. Though I did not find any others with this exact name, this is a reasonable concern. Perhaps a stronger alternative would be a DAB page? Or possibly a List of visitor interpretive centers. Kind regards, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 02:39, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- A list might be appropriate, but my concern with either that or a disambiguation is that it essentially becomes a list of parks. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 14:16, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Valid concerns, both... Thanks again, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 16:16, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

New recommendation: change redirect to Visitor interpretive center → Interpretation centre. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 18:18, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- At first sight I rather liked that absolutely reasonable suggestion but with the benefit of hindsight redirecting Visitor interpretive center is redundant and deletable because the lemma Interpretive center already redirects to Interpretation centre (since 2007). That should meet requirements. There is no need to continually expand the number of redirects by simply adding words to existing phrases what will lead to eventual Guest interpretation centre, Audience interpretive center or Kindergartner Interpretation centre...

Whether or not we are agreed that the existing target (Adirondack Park Agency visitor interpretive centers) is subpar. --84.141.7.42 (talk) 09:59, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is not reason to delete this redirect, none at all. It doesn't matter if we have very similar redirects already, this one would still be useful if directed to the right target. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 04:27, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Discovered yet another possibility... Visitor Information Centre redirects to Visitor center; Visitor interpretive center could do the same. I prefer the redirect going to Interpretive center, though, as it's closer to the mark. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 21:32, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mau̯ː˧˥ tsɤ˧˥.tʊŋ˥ → Mao Zedong (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Unlikely search term. - The ChampionMan 1234 00:13, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment what is this, some form of IPA or similar notation? -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 02:30, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Looks like mojibake to me, but might just be vandalism. The creator was a long-term vandal who still uses IPs and throw-away accounts to trash articles and editors. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 02:41, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: mojibake at best. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 08:13, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

+1: useless redirect: not even a moji baker would rummage an encyclopedia for that "character" sequence. --84.141.7.214 (talk) 16:52, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It is perfectly valid IPA. We don’t keep redirects from pronunciations, so delete it anyway. Just stop calling characters you don’t recognize mojibake. Gorobay (talk) 19:34, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I had no idea what it is, but I knew it certainly wasn't mojibake. - The ChampionMan 1234 01:06, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment also, its not IPA, because at the target it says that the IPA is "(/ˈmaʊ zəˈdʊŋ," - The ChampionMan 1234 03:24, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The form in the article is a broad transcription, and this one is narrow. They are both IPA. Gorobay (talk) 22:01, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
