Harry Shipp Truman[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. (non-admin closure) – Uanfala 21:03, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

According to our article, the "S" is an honorary initial, but has no meaning in itself. Lordtobi (✉) 21:18, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Were any of these notably used in news articles? I just want to check if these weren't WP:MADEUP. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:30, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Apparently, these inaccurate middle names have received significant enough historical coverage, with the U.S. National Archives organization even reporting on it. Apparently, Chief Justice Harlan F. Stone delivered the Presidential oath as "I, Harry Shipp Truman" due to the popular misconceptions. The redirects appear justified to me. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 03:59, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I agree with the above. The popularity and notability of these misconceptions certainly justifies a redirect. --George AKA Caliburn · (Talk · Contribs · CentralAuth · Log) 09:25, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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 soft delete. Deryck C. 16:25, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mary Jane was Truman's sister, but there is no information on her apart from her birth and death years. We don't keep a redirect on his borther John Vivian Truman. Lordtobi (✉) 21:17, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ReConstruct: Restoring Homes. Renewing Hope[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. Deryck C. 16:26, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The redirect originally was an article presumably about a volunteer organization. The only content stated, "ReConstruct equips and prepares students and adults for a lifetime of mission service by providing opportunities to assist low-income individuals with home repair. Each year hundreds of students reroof and repaint houses through ReConstruct." Redirect was created on 11:40, 3 January 2006 by User:Reconstruct. This edit by User:Reconstruct is the only edit performed by that user. One month later an IP account redirected to the Reconstruction page, currently a disambiguation page. By 2008 the page was redirected to Reconstruction Era, an article entirely unrelated to original content. I don't see possibility of salvaging original content for separate article. Recommend speedy deletion criterion G1. Mitchumch (talk) 20:14, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete non-notable organization with slogan appended, article created with apparent COI based on the username. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:56, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

🏴󠁥󠁳󠁩󠁢󠁿[edit]

The result of the discussion was Withdrawn by nom (Keep) - The unicode didn't render on my computer. snood1205(Say Hi! (talk)) 19:52, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The symbol 🏴󠁥󠁳󠁩󠁢󠁿 is just a black flag and does not have anything to inherently do with Flag of the Balearic Islands. snood1205(Say Hi! (talk)) 19:40, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. It is not a just black flag. It is the emoji for the flag of the Balearic Islands. It looks like a black flag to you because it was only released a few months ago, and the fallback representation of subregion flag emoji is a black flag. Gorobay (talk) 19:44, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have a source for this? From what I can see, this is codepoint 1F3F4, which has an official name of "Waving Black Flag" and was released in 2014.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 19:52, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It is in fact six characters: U+1F3F4, U+E0065, U+E0073, U+E0069, U+E0062, and U+E007F. The last five encode ES-IB, which is the ISO 3166-2 code for the Balearic Islands. They are default ignorable, which is a technical Unicode term which in this context means invisible. See Unicode Technical Standard #51. Gorobay (talk) 20:09, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Prison Break (revival)[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. Deryck C. 16:26, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect was created as the result of an improper move by Unknownassassin. I have reverted the move, and do not think that "revival" is an appropriate disambiguator for season 5. GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 15:53, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - per nom, I can't envisage any case where "revival" would be an appropriate disambiguator, unless it was an accepted alternate name of the work. (which, in this case, it isn't) --George AKA Caliburn · (Talk · Contribs · CentralAuth · Log) 09:35, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

2017 US Open – Men's Singles[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. Given how soon it will stop being too early, I don't see much point in trying to elicit further discussion. (non-admin closure) – Uanfala 21:01, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:TOOEARLY, and there aren't many sources about this event. 333-blue 11:30, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep to remain as redirect until seedings and players as to be announced. ApprenticeFan work 02:40, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Communications in Transnistria[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 speedy delete. Redirects deleted by administrator Anthony Bradbury (non-admin closure) jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 02:11, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete this one as POV. The people in Transnistria would be very offended by this as it lumps their breakaway country in with Moldova. The people in Moldova would also be offended by this as they don't recognize anywhere called Transnistria. Pretty much no one should find this redirect helpful. That is aside from the Communications vs Telecommunications issue which I agree is a problem. Legacypac (talk) 10:25, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as this is confusing between the state and country. Legacypac (talk) 10:25, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Communications and Telecommunications are not the same thing. Telecom excludes, for example, newspapers, literature, policy (such as censorship), official government communications, language, you name it. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 05:28, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Complicating all of this, it looks like most, maybe all of them, were redirects from page renames. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 05:33, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all per nom on communications vs telecommunications. I've highlighted the extra problems with some of them. Legacypac (talk) 10:25, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Delete all as Neelix redirects. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 14:10, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy delete. Speedily deleted by Kudpung. (non-admin closure) --George AKA Caliburn · (Talk · Contribs · CentralAuth · Log) 09:42, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As ridiculous as this one seems, I can totally see someone saying that this typo should be kept. I'm not one of those someones. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:12, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Delete as Neelix redrict. Pointless clutter. Legacypac (talk) 03:31, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
