The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 18:46, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a cross-language redirect. Since this is not useful to English readers, it should be deleted. Citrusbowler (talk) (contribs) (email me) 13:52, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom and WP:R#DELETE #10: the existence of an article on the French Wikipedia suggests the topic would be sufficiently notable for one here. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 14:03, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and Arms & Hearts. Redirects to non-English wikis were proposed as a speedy deletion criterion not long back and got much support but fell down on the issue of interwikis on redlinks. See Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Archive 48#Soft redirects to foreign-language Wikipedias. I still feel that these ought to be speedy deletable, but it seems that nobody wanting the interwikis on redlinks was actually bothered enough to take part in the relevant discussions.

  • Delete WP:REDLINK this should be a redlink, as there's an article of it in another language, it is a viable topic for creating an article, therefore should be redlinked. (altnernately, stubbify ) -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 23:11, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. Thryduulf (talk) 09:46, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is no such list in the target article. Either find a better target, or delete. — This, that and the other (talk) 05:47, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • This was kept for its history after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of autostereotypes by nation (2nd nomination). I don't know if anything was merged. 86.121.18.17 (talk) 23:46, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • I considered that before making this nomination, but surely 4 years is enough time to allow for a merge to take place. The old article content does not seem worth keeping, but I'm not sure what usual community practice is in cases such as this one. — This, that and the other (talk) 01:20, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. If content was merged to another page, we have to keep the pagehistory behind this redirect in order to comply with the attribution requirements of GFDL and CC-BY-SA. Unless a redirect is actively harmful or confusing to readers, our usual practice is to keep the redirect regardless because it's the easier route to compliance. This one doesn't seem sufficiently harmful to justify deletion. Rossami (talk) 23:34, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Thryduulf (talk) 09:45, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per Rossami unless it can be conclusively shown that no content was ever merged. I agree that there's no obvious evidence of a merge having taken place (though I haven't trawled through every revision), but the search term is plausible and the target relevant enough that keeping this because it might be necessary for attribution purposes seems the best solution. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 14:12, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
