No mention of "carby" in target article ER (TV series). If not delete, then redirect to Carburetor, which is cited as Australian slang. Dennis Bratland (talk) 20:43, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. JohnCD (talk) 17:04, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Highly improbable that anyone would look for this. There is no reason to link to simplewiki for an article that is very similar to, and linked from, List of colors (compact). /~huesatlum/ 19:20, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy delete per WP:CSD §§ R2​ and G6: the name of this redirect does not make sense apart from soft redirect to simplewiki. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 21:34, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete non-en.wiki link to an off-en.wiki site that is not wiktionary. Simple.wiki is a different langauge Wikipedia, and it is not an acceptable target for redirects. Further, the disambiguator in an unacceptable way to distinguish the topic, since it doesn't actual mean a different topic, so is a duplication of topic in a second article. -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 05:43, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Withdrawn. (non-admin closure) — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 08:40, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading redirect, kpatch and Ksplice implement similar functionality, but the approaches, authors and codebases are not related. I think it's premature to create a stub here either; its notability is unclear and it is currently competing with kGraft for merging into mainline Linux kernel. One of the two will eventually be merged, after which the other will be forgotten. -- intgr [talk] 10:50, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn. -- intgr [talk] 08:10, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • My intentions were to turn the kpatch redirect into a stub in the next week or so; I'd agree that its notability might be debatable, but kpatch has been included in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0 as a technology preview (better said, beta) feature. Having that in mind, it's probably here to stay even in case it doesn't become merged into the Linux kernel mainline. Thoughts? — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 02:15, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I had a look around, it seems that there are enough references for notability, I have created a stub with the ones I found. I don't think you should create misleading redirects ahead of time, though. -- intgr [talk] 08:10, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

National symbols of China[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was delete. DrKiernan (talk) 17:40, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

China usually refers to the PRC, and there is no article on symbols of the PRC, thus the current target is misleading. Thus Delete per WP:REDLINK TheChampionMan1234 02:38, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to National symbols of the People's Republic of China (write this article first) and place a hatnote there. This name conforms to the naming scheme following {{Asia topic}} (single worst name for a template I've ever seen), so it really should exist. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 04:29, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Convert into set-index until such a time as the PRC article is written. With a set index, you can have redlinks, so we can redlink a link to a future PRC article (and future articles for various dynasties) -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 06:20, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Everyone who hears someone say China thinks People's Republic. The so-called Republic of China is not China as anyone understands it, and clarity requires calling it Taiwan. If an article is made someday for the PRC symbols, its title should simply be China. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 00:38, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • The "so-called" ROC ruled China once, and held China's seat at the UN and IOC into the 70s. So, yes, if you're discussing China, you could mean the ROC, such as the China in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom with the Shanghai scene is the ROC China; the one featured in The Mummy III is also the ROC China, etc. -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 04:46, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete In line with China and Taiwan, we use these WP:COMMONNAMEs on Wikipedia. Unless used in a historical context, "China" refers to the PRC or the land it owns, not to Taiwan. Czarkoff is essentially correct, though the article should be at this title. Many "X in the People's Republic of China" articles have already been moved to "X in China" titles by consensus. --BDD (talk) 12:21, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
