Admiral of the Fleet Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, KG, GCB, OM, GCSI, GCIE, GCVO, DSO, PC[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. --BDD (talk) 19:37, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect is certainly sincere but I do not think that it can be of much use. The Traditionalist (talk) 20:55, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as entirely implausible. It looks like this has only received 7 hits in the last 90 days. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 21:09, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as this is all kinds of implausible. No one in their right mind would go through this alphabet soup to look him up, even if they are able to remember it all. (I added one more redirect for the same reasons) -- Tavix (talk) 21:27, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Santorum's Google problem[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 no consensus, default to keep. The findings below are that this phrase has seen substantial usage, unlike the "Yahoo" equivalent deleted earlier, but it is uncertain whether it's appropriate to be a redirect title. Deryck C. 06:04, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is just a follow-up of Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 February 29#Rick Santorum's Yahoo problem. I would assume that these redirects would have the same problem as the one that was deleted. -- Tavix (talk) 22:26, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep This is actually a fairly common phrase in media, who pretty much have to resort to some sort of euphemism to describe the issue. Rick Santorum has a problem with name searches for "Santorum" in Google. That's true—or at least as true as anything can be here. Yahoo just doesn't have the same sort of cultural ubiquity (cf. Google (verb) and Google bomb vs. Yahoo (verb) and Yahoo bomb). --BDD (talk) 14:55, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, BDD (talk) 20:51, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Searches for "Santorum's Google problem" show many mainstream sources using this phrase (often in the titles of articles about it) including Mother Jones, Esquire, ABC News, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, the Daily Telegraph, CNN, and many more. The analogy with the Yahoo redirect does not work at all: doing the same search for "Santorum's Yahoo problem" finds hardly anything, and the things it finds are generally comparisons of Santorum's Yahoo presence with the aforesaid Google problem. -- The Anome (talk) 00:20, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete per Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 February 29#Rick Santorum's Yahoo problem (Ivanvector's "'Problem' is a weasel word"). Vague. Redirecting based on source's characterizations of this kind is a slippery slope. Weak as usage can be shown across quite a few sources, though in different manners.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 02:12, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Vague? What else could be referred to as "Santorum's Google problem"? --BDD (talk) 14:15, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
A poor rationale late yesterday, I've adjusted above. Regards,—Godsy(TALKCONT) 19:28, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Caralibro[edit]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 19:37, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:RFOREIGN (kind of). While "Caralibro" might be a literal translation of "Facebook" to Spanish, it's not the name of the site in Spanish, it's still Facebook... Besides, it appears that caralibro.com is completely unrelated to Facebook, which could be misleading. -- Tavix (talk) 20:06, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 19:35, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:RFOREIGN. She's American and has no affinity with any language besides English. -- Tavix (talk) 19:42, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, it's tagged as Kazakh language. I agree, but I gave the creator the benefit of the doubt. -- Tavix (talk) 03:26, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ambiguous title, not just limited to Libya (also to Dahomey and the European Union). --Neve–selbert 01:34, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as vague. There seems to be a lot of Presidency Councils --Lenticel (talk) 12:43, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
