February 2[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on February 2, 2016.

Association of College Unions International[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 procedural close. --BDD (talk) 15:20, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Barely mentioned at target article (1 sentence); should have own article; is not a student center or an association of student centers (it's an association of student union organizations – someone has confused "student union" with "student union building"); and the organization is principally notable as a sport governing body of various intramural competitions, including BCA collegiate/university pool championships, and college bowl trivia competition, among others. Restoring this to a redlink is liable to encourage article creation.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  23:17, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Procedural close, please, I've converted this to the article by splitting the paragraph out from Student center. The paragraph in there was rather an island since it was not mentioned in, and did not mention, anything in the surrounding text.
I noticed when creating the text to put the {{old rfd}} notice on that the talk page had been previously deleted – I assume the same for the article page. However I did not catch when it was deleted, nor have been able to find when this para was introduced into Student center (in case the two correlated). Si Trew (talk) 03:35, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. It's used on a large number of talk pages about indoor games, which suggests it's used in {{WikiProject Cue sports}} and perhaps others? Si Trew (talk) 03:39, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, was in Wikipedia:WikiProject_Cue_sports/To-do as "(bad redir)". I've removed it there. Si Trew (talk) 03:51, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

National action plans[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 dabify the singular form, retarget the second to there. Thanks to Deryck for doing the legwork. There may yet be merit for an article on the general idea of a national action plan, but this looks to be an improvement. --BDD (talk) 16:25, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A National Action Plan is a type of Government program, at least in Canada. You will not learn that at the target. Delete to encourage article creation? Legacypac (talk) 07:48, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The singular form was used in National Renewable Energy Action Plan, which makes it clear (in the WP:FIRSTSENTENCE) that this term is used by the European Commission as well, and implies that it is not the EC's only type of National Action Plan. I've changed that to use the redlink National Action Plan, without prejudice to this discussion (it's simply misleading in that context). Si Trew (talk) 08:16, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Of these, only the last is listed at Nap (disambiguation), to which NAP redirects. I have proposed a split of that DAB (at Talk:Nap (disambiguation)#Proposed split to NAP), since "NAP" and "Nap" seem not to be used interchangeably. Si Trew (talk) 10:45, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
National Action Plan is used in List of energy abbreviations and Human trafficking in the Republic of Macedonia. Si Trew (talk) 10:08, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I boldly changed it in the list to National Renewable Energy Action Plan, since that seems obvious from the context. I suppose it could refer to energy policy in China, though. Si Trew (talk) 10:21, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disambiguate across the many National Action Plans listed here and others. Or section-redirect to nap (disambiguation), though that page will have to be expanded with some of the examples here. Rossami (talk) 05:55, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Deryck C. 20:44, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Convert to WP:SIA / disambiguate with items suggested above. I'm drafting an SIA beneath the redirect National action plan. Deryck C. 20:46, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Create a disambiguation page at National Action Plan, taking its content from what Deryck Chan's done, and Retarget both these redirects there; refer to it from the DAB at Nap (disambiguation) and remove duplicate entries from there. Si Trew (talk) 03:12, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. This section, after the relist, doesn't show up on my Android tablet. I wonder why that would be; I came here on my laptop as I thought I had left the above comment but couldn't see it. (I don't think any relist does.) Si Trew (talk) 18:37, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article was created in the last day or so, so no incoming links exist. Article was created under a Turkish name that simply is not a plausible English redirect. I moved the article to the simplified English name as given by the companies own English language website. Safiel (talk) 17:49, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was procedural close. This has been converted into an article on a French government agency. I'll hatnote IGas Energy. --BDD (talk) 15:24, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is an extremely far-fetched acronym. -©2016 Compassionate727(Talk)(Contributions) 17:19, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep , it's used several times in the article (although not in theWP:LEADSENTENCE); that's easily fixed but to do so now might prejudice the outcome here). Si Trew (talk) 03:17, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep in some form. It's a valid redirect, but my searches overwhelmingly bring up IGas Energy. I wouldn't be opposed to a retarget there, probably as an {{R from stock symbol}}. -- Tavix (talk) 03:23, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm happy with that, we can hatnote. IGas also redirects there, but not Igas. Si Trew (talk) 03:55, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to IGas Energy per above. It appears to me that the use of IGAS as shorthand for the game show is simply poor writing style and should be fixed; I'm not seeing evidence that the show was actually referred to by this shorthand. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 16:10, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If you look at the referenced links etc., most of them use "igas", and it would seem highly probably that in some contexts it would be referred to that way (like ISIHAC, ITMA and so on: not just insider jargon). But, anyway, the text runs better simply by removing its use in most cases, and replacing it with "The show" in others: I've done so with this change.

It doesn't appear this spelling is ever used, for Muhammad or anyone else. Google had very few results, none about the prophet, and assumed I meant Mahmoud, and even Google Books gives zero results. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 02:32, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Late comment the other 60-odd deleted redirects can be seen here. Some (e.g. Mehamed) are coincidentally in widespread real-world use (not sure if that one's an actual variant of Mohammed, or rather Mehmed, but on the whole it looks like the creator was just cycling through every possible M(?:e|a)h(?:a|e|o|u)m*(?:a|e|o|u)d. 58.176.246.42 (talk) 07:16, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
