The result was procedural close per WP:PCLOSE, because AfD is the wrong forum for discussing redirects. I have moved the discussion to Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 November 29#Pô departmént. (non-admin closure) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:50, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Non-sense accent on the second term, only a vary old typo left unmaintained for years, but never used anywhere. After I had properly renamed here, I just wanted to nominate the generated redirect for speedy deletion (matching the current WP policy for deletions: WP:R3 only applies to recently created redirects from "implausible typos or misnomers"), but someone (anonymous IP User:91.219.149.124) reverted this request. There's absolutely no value in keeping these typos, invalid in all languages (accent in the English term, but still not the correct orthography in French, official in that location), even if this is very old and concerns a page that was just a very early stub with errors and undeveloped. It was also not linked from anywhere (any wiki, or other external sites). The term "departmént" is clearly a misnomer. The name also itself is still ambiguous with present-day department in Burkina Faso and the former department in Northern Italy during the French Empire: there's a separate old discussion for fixing the page name as well for the Italian page and avoid incorrect mixes between the two topics. I have also fived (but kept) other possible names with their redirects, because they are plausible, but NOT this one.

Note also that I have also copied "as is" the old talk into the correct target talk page for the Italian topic. -- verdy_p (talk) 16:41, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
