Useless title/redirect - The has been called "Logo-text.png" since 2008 until I just this minute moved it to a more meaningful name, nothing links to it so seems kinda pointless keeping it around, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 21:42, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy delete - Housekeeping.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:35, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Zxcvbnm - Believe it or not I used the Housekeeping CSD this way before .... and it was declined!, So figured this was the best route, Cheers, –Davey2010Talk 14:16, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete them all. Wrong target, and no viable target exists. The article on the real Mongol invasion of Bulgaria and Serbia, which I have substantially expanded lately with academic sources, shows that this was the first Mongol–Bulgarian war and a single event lasting less than a year.

Individual who is not independently notable being redirected to her brother's article where there is a single passing mention (that they're related.) CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 17:42, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as there is no information on her other than a passing mention that she is his sister. It also is a sound-alike to Ewan McGregor AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:54, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

non sequitur likely vandalism Rhadow (talk) 17:06, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. He was apparently the first to use the term in the context of American politics [1], but given that it doesn't seem to be covered anywhere on wikipedia, this redirect will only surprise readers. – Uanfala (talk) 20:19, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 22:07, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The phrase isn't used in the target article, the latter being an article about a large company. Trafford09 (talk) 15:04, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment This came up because of the Copy That meme. [2] but it hasn't hit the news articles. Unfortunately there isn't a good description of the regular use of the phrase in Procedure word AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:34, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Voice procedure#Maritime mobile procedure states (without source): "Copy that" is incorrect. COPY is used when a message has been intercepted by another station. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 08:48, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - It's an obscure internet meme and nothing more. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 01:09, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 22:06, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn’t seem plausible to abbreviate the town’s name in this way, especially the first. All but one of the other redirects lead from names starting from the beginning, Llanfairpwllgwyngyll.... The last one, Gogogoch is plausible as it forms a more complete “chunk” in the brain. 165.91.12.221 (talk) 12:48, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete both as implausible. Especially the first one though, since "go go go" can also be a phrase.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:33, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 22:05, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Implausible misspelling; aside from the space (for which we have Worm hole), the r is replaced with the adjacent e. 165.91.12.221 (talk) 12:14, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Implausible typo.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 14:32, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Frozen star[edit]

The result of the discussion was self-withdrawn. I was wrong. 165.91.12.221 (talk) 11:42, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t think this is astronomically correct. It is true that black holes have very low temperatures and that time slows down near the event horizon such that an observer can never see another observer crossing it. However, a black hole forms when a star exceeding ~30 M☉ collapses and goes supernova. Stars exceeding 300 M☉ usually collapse almost completely except for a small unnova. Stars between 8 and 30 M☉ form neutron stars. Smaller stars become what are known as white dwarfs. The only objects that could plausibly be described as “frozen stars” are probably black dwarf (a white dwarf that has cooled off) or brown dwarf (a star too small to sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen). 165.91.12.221 (talk) 11:36, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to May 1. -- Tavix (talk) 17:31, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Should redirect to May 1 in line with the other 11 “1st of month” redirects. 165.91.12.221 (talk) 10:06, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

1st of May does not imply May Day. I rather suggest a re-targeting to May 1, as per the OP's actual textual statement. Misread on my part. Have gone ahead and boldly changed the redirect. 135.23.202.24 (talk) 04:10, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was adminstrative closure; deleted per author's request (WP:G7). (non-admin closure) James (talk/contribs) 23:04, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect redirect that is unlikely to ever be used. There was no "Paradise Fire" in 2016. The Paradise Fire occurred in 2017, and already redirects to the appropriate article. James (talk/contribs) 08:24, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I was probably thinking of the Paradise Fire in 2008 when I created this redirect link. Unless another Paradise Fire actually exists in 2016, the page should probably be deleted. LightandDark2000 (talk) 08:27, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note Per above comment, WP:G7 applies here James (talk/contribs) 20:09, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete all. The same will apply to 3 januari which was created at the same time by the same author. -- Tavix (talk) 17:28, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Implausible misspelling. The only language I can think of for “Oktober” is German, but that language almost certainly capitalizes months as we do. No WP:FORRED is appropriate here. October 28 has no similar redirect. 165.91.12.221 (talk) 06:04, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment added six more similarly spelled redirects. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 08:54, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Also, it appears to be Dutch. Same author created about 40 other redirects at the same time as this one for dates in januari, februari, maart, mei, juni, juli, and augustus, though none for the other months where Dutch and English use the same words. Should I add those here? 59.149.124.29 (talk) 09:04, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      Ok, I added all of those to the nomination. 165.91.13.60 (talk) 22:50, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Why is this even a redirect? We should just remove then.Slatersteven (talk) 09:25, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Per WP:FORRED.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 14:38, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Yeah, per WP:FORRED. Galobtter (pingó mió) 15:52, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 22:04, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Implausible typo. Aside from the space, no one would accidentally type more than two na’s, as evidenced by the nonexistence of Bananana 165.91.13.163 (talk) 01:04, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
EDIT: Special:PrefixIndex/Bananana lists only this and the related redirect Bananana phones, which I am also nominating. 07:29, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
