Delete mojibake. Gorobay (talk) 21:29, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • NOTE the accent-removed and "(c)" forms were created by Eubot (talk · contribs) as redirects for typos of the mojibake forms, so are even worse, as they aren't even mojibake, but typos of mojibake. -- 65.94.40.137 (talk) 04:41, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I was going to be silent on these mojibakes and let them go delete by default (and I hope this comment is not taken to queer that pitch), but the Pokémon ones piqued my interest: since "Pokémon" is a transliteration for Japanese ("ポケモン") – presumably one deliberately chosen since "É" is rare in English orthography – are there any even more bizarre mojibakes that mojibake the katakana itself?

Update crime groups Philippines[edit]

The result of the discussion was : Deleted, implausible redirect, article has been created by a sockpuppet of a blocked user. Organized crime in the Philippines itself has been redirected to Crime in the Philippines. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 20:51, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

strange title created by sock puppets Legacypac (talk) 18:57, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I moved the article to the more appropriate title; the redirect may be deleted. (I kept it for a while so that the original title is visible.) No opinion on the article itself; I see nothing immediately wrong with it, even though it may have been created by a sockpuppet of a blocked user. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 19:53, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Delete R3 as an implausible typo, and G5 as created by banned user. CrowCaw 16:36, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Delete per above. --Lenticel (talk) 02:18, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was deleted by JohnCD. --BDD (talk) 18:37, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:REDLINK. Back in 2006, this was an article, and its AfD closed as redirect. The article was actually deleted and the title recreated as a redirect, though. It's not mentioned at the target article, so it's definitely misleading as is. Restoring the old article is also an option. I've undeleted its revision history, so anyone can take a look at it now. Pinging the AfD's closing admin, Dominic; I'm sure he remembers the eight-year-old case like it was yesterday. BDD (talk) 16:05, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. --BDD (talk) 16:15, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what mean, it's a cross-namespace redirect to project page. 333-blue 14:17, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I find this useful. It allows helpers to link the term "namespace" when writing messages for new users, without first having to check whether the help page is in the Help or Wikipedia namespace. -- John of Reading (talk) 15:21, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm pretty bullish about deleting CNRs, but the distinction between Help and Wikipedia namespaces is so blurry. I can't think of another pair of namespaces with so much overlap. And I'm fairly certain I've used this redirect myself. --BDD (talk) 16:11, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per BDD. Steel1943 (talk) 18:15, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per above 122.107.133.47 (talk) 05:45, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per all above. Si Trew (talk) 03:02, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I'm practically the standard bearer of no cross-namespace redirects but even I think this is a practical redirect. Ivanvector (talk) 21:57, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

unnecessary redirect from wikipedia namespace to article namespace DexDor (talk) 10:27, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article draft seems to have been moved to Wikipedia namespace by a mistake. I thought about merging the histories, but this doesn't seem to be strictly necessary - the main author of the draft also edited Uldus Bakhtiozina to post his version of the article there. I think the redirect can be safely deleted. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 20:07, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete this was created as a fork of the articlespace article in DRAFTspace and then accidentally moved to WPspace -- 65.94.40.137 (talk) 04:44, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 16:15, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a concept related to the target that is neither is synonymous with the target article, nor mentioned at the target article. Also, it seems that this redirect was previously an article, but the article seems like a violation of WP:NOTWIKIA. Steel1943 (talk) 04:25, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Just from Googling the term, there are other uses, but it seems the Mortal Kombat usage is specific to the characters Cyrax and Sektor. It's mentioned (but only just) in both of those articles, though I don't know how we'd choose between them. If Energy sword is converted to an article, perhaps it could be discussed there. (Is that how you found this?) --BDD (talk) 17:16, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • @BDD: Nope. I just, from time to time, look at random articles with popular video game subjects to see what redirects point towards them that seem to either be misleading or not explained well enough at the redirects' target to justify the redirects' existence. The fact that I, in a short amount of time, nominated two similar redirects that point to two different video game subjects is pure coincidence. Steel1943 (talk) 17:29, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nobama[edit]

The result of the discussion was retarget to List of U.S. presidential campaign slogans#Critical slogans. It looks like we're unanimous here. --BDD (talk) 18:38, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I was surprised that this term isn't mentioned on the target page. I somewhat expected a Criticism of Barack Obama page, but it redirects there as well. The only mention of the term on Wikipedia is at List of U.S. presidential campaign slogans. Too trivial to retarget there? I'm not sure. At this point, I'd be fine with that or deletion. BDD (talk) 00:46, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Actually, "NOBAMA" is listed at that target, not "Nobama". I was not trying to be picky but having inadvertently left case-sensitive search on, I couldn't find it at first, since it's not R to section ("Critical slogans"). If retargeted, make it R to section. (Not sure that's a great section title when the rest are chronological, but that's a matter for the A not the R.) Si Trew (talk) 03:07, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
To spare anyone else a confused comment, "NOBAMA" is mentioned on the list of slogans, not Criticism of Barack Obama. --BDD (talk) 14:17, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
