Big fruit → Apple Inc. (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Title has no affinity for Apple Inc. From a Google search, I suggest weak retarget to Australia's big things The ChampionMan 1234 08:41, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: countless possibile targets with no significant use or primary meaning. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 20:58, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the redirect is too vague to be useful to any article.--Lenticel ^(talk) 03:23, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No reason that this is here. Probably a joke of some sort. JOJ ^Hutton 12:40, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

MW8 → Windows 8 (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Clearly this is not what it means, if you do a Google searc, you'll see it refers to (among other things), a hotel and a mixer (whatever that is). The ChampionMan 1234 08:30, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So disambiguate it? Mark Schierbecker (talk) 08:43, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Never seen MW used as an abbreviation for Windows. ï¿½ (talk) 20:15, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:R#DELETE criterion 8: non of uses is established enough to be worth redirection or even disambiguation. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 20:55, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
For anyone who is confused, MW8 is an abreviation for Microsoft Windows 8 which also happens to be the German Wikipedia's title for the OS. Mark Schierbecker (talk) 08:42, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- German Wikipedia does not mention "MW8" though; and even if it did, that would not influence the fate of this redirect on English Wikipedia per WP:FORRED. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 23:26, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Russia (Poland) → Poland (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Misleading. The ChampionMan 1234 08:28, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

this is the way the place is represented in the ADB, and I created the redirect for an article based on that source. I have no particular love of the representation on the temporal location. Stuartyeates (talk) 11:39, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- What is ADB? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 20:52, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Probably the Australian Dictionary of Biography, as some bios I've checked say Russia (Poland): [1] [2] Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 15:34, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Well, then this awkward title means "Place, Russian Empire (modern-day Poland)". This is something we should spell out. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 17:19, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - WP:BEFORE should have told the nominator; it's a semi-standard notation in colonial print biographies for European places that have shifted boundaries. Stuartyeates (talk) 20:15, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        Prooflinks? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 20:25, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Poland is not “a Poland called Russia”, which this redirect suggests. ï¿½ (talk) 20:13, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: misleading title. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 20:52, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 18:41, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Third Roman Republic → Roman Republic (18th century) (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]
Fourth Roman Republic → Roman Republic (19th century) (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Unsupported name-giving: I won't quibble about the math because this term is simply not in use by writers at all. See GoogleBooks and Scholar. SteveStrummer (talk) 08:00, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete indeed no usage. The ChampionMan 1234 09:37, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@SteveStrummer: - I have merged your two related nominations to avoid confusion The ChampionMan 1234 09:38, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Windows 4.x[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 keep. The consensus is that this is an appropriate redirect and, also, any ambiguity would be resolved by the hattnote on the target. NAC. The Whispering Wind (talk) 15:16, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Windows 4.x → Windows 9x (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Windows 9x is not the only set of OSes is the 4.x series, it also included Windows NT 4.0 The ChampionMan 1234 02:24, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Windows NT 4.0. I've never heard the 9x series called "Windows 4." --N Y Kevin 02:50, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Windows NT was never refered to as only “Windows” back then. All Windows 9x versions have version numbers 4 point something, and no others have. ï¿½ (talk) 20:14, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per ï¿½. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 20:46, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Ï¿½'s comment. Windows NT and Windows 9x/4.x were quite different beasts despite having a similar GUI. - Letdorf (talk) 21:04, 28 June 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Nuevas Filipinas[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 retarget to Pinar del Río Province as the former name of this province and a valid search name. NAC. The Whispering Wind (talk) 19:41, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nuevas Filipinas → Texas (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

From what I can gather from a google search, the name does not refer to the entire state, and the fact the the google sidebar refers to Texas is simply because it mirrors Wikipedia The ChampionMan 1234 01:09, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Pinar del Río Province. The article states that the province was once called as Nuevas Filipinas due to the huge influx of Filipino immigrants.--Lenticel ^(talk) 03:25, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
UPDATE: added a cite for that claim.--Lenticel ^(talk) 03:29, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget per Lenticel. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 04:41, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
