Per the redirect policy, “In particular, redirects from a foreign language title to a page whose subject is unrelated to that language (or a culture that speaks that language) should generally not be created. ” Last I checked Korean was not the majority language in Iceland.

Gal Gun 2[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 Gal*Gun#Legacy. (non-admin closure) TheSandDoctor Talk 04:16, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is a highly misleading redirect since a game titled Gal*Gun 2 was released this year, which doesn't have an article. There is also no franchise article to point this redirect to so a redlink serves the reader better. Xezbeth (talk) 17:47, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment the article says it's a sequel to Gal Gun, so if it isn't, it should go redirect to Gal Gun and have the original one cover the franchise. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:54, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Looking online confirms that there is an actual Gal Gun 2 that came out internationally this year so it should not redirect to the Vita game.--69.157.253.30 (talk) 21:35, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to Gal*Gun#Legacy which lists all the varieties. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:54, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget per Angus. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 00:35, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget as mentioned previously an actual Gun Gal 2 exists now.--69.157.253.30 (talk) 22:14, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget as Angus suggested. Raymond1922 (talk) 23:24, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2010 North Korean nuclear test[edit]

D-ascorbic acid[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 Ascorbic acid (molecular aspects). The article, not done to a section. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 16:16, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of D-ascorbic acid in article and D-ascorbic acid is not the same as Vitamin C witch is L-ascorbic acid Abote2 (talk) 10:07, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. There is a mention at Ascorbic acid (molecular aspects)#Industrial preparation but it's not a huge mention and goes way over my head. I'll ping WikiProject Chemicals as some subject understanding would clearly be of benefit to this discussion. Thryduulf (talk) 12:54, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Ascorbic acid (molecular aspects) based on where topic is discussed, per previous comments. That was actually where it was originally intended to point, but was mis-changed during some page-moves a few years ago. The problem is that Ascorbic acid is the generic name (not specifying D or L), but in a WP:COMMONNAME sense, it refers specifically to the L form. And the target actually had been ascorbic acid (meaning the chemical not the vitamin). When[1] User:Doc James reasonably moved our article about the chemical to Ascorbic acid (molecular aspects) and then redirected Ascorbic acid to Vitamin C, the D-ascorbic acid redirect got changed to point to Vitamin C rather (automatic fix of double-redirect) rather than changing to follow where the former ascorbic acid article had actually gone.
Likewise, I changed the C₆H₈O₆ redirect from → Vitamin C to → Ascorbic acid (molecular aspects). DMacks (talk) 16:07, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If this is retargeted to molecular, then it should be bolded. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:55, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:RDRR[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. I'm generally in favor of such things — amusing projectspace redirects are amusing — but 78 pageviews in 2 years ain't use, and the maintenance was just two moments when mass edits were made to the entire redirect space. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 11:44, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Following Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 May 4#Wikipedia:JOKE, most Wikipedia space shortcuts to Category:Wikipedia humor were retargeted to Wikipedia:Humor. However, I was not able to make heads or tails of this one. The closest I can come up with is Wikipedia:Redirect (the target of WP:RDR), but even that seems a bit far-fetched. Since it has never been used, I recommend to delete it. -- Tavix (talk) 20:00, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete; I'm assuming it's a reference to this very old Simpsons joke, wherein "RDRR" sounds like "ha de ha ha", as in laughter. Does not strike me as in any way helpful as a redirect, though. ~ mazca talk 23:44, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep or redirect This is, surprisingly, getting a steady stream of views, and isn't harming anything or likely to be confused with anything else so WP:CHEAP firmly applies here - especially as the page history shows that people have been maintaining it.

Eutheism[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 Dystheism. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 11:37, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is tough. "Eutheism" concept isn't mentioned at the target article, though perhaps it could be. It's not explicitly mentioned at the article for its opposite, Dystheism, nor at Summum bonum, where it originally pointed. It is mentioned at Misotheism#Terminology, which has become a sort of collection point for several related terms. "Eutheist" already redirects to Misotheism; I'll add it since we will want them to go to the same place. --BDD (talk) 15:36, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • here, the solution is to briefly mention "eutheism" as the antonym of "dystheism" in the Dystheism article. Then point it at Dystheism. "Eutheism" is a real term (barely), but it is only ever used in contrast with "dystheism", so the redirect point there. Eutheism is the belief in a benevolent god or gods, but not necessarily in "omnibenevolence", and pointing the redirect there does nothing. --dab (𒁳) 19:10, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do the same thing to both. I don't really have an opinion about what the best course of action for these redirects is, but if one exists they other should and if they do exist they should target the same place. Thryduulf (talk) 12:44, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget - This is indeed a tough situation. However, we have a bunch of other redirects from antonyms, and it makes sense to go ahead and put both terms over to 'dystheism'. That article can get expanded a bit to mention the dys-/eu- distinction. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 17:18, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Opera Software Inc[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. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 00:35, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wrongful redirects. Invalid company name, such a company doesn't exist. Even a Google search (https://www.google.com/search?q="Opera+Software+Inc") does not yield any meaningful result.

Note: A company did exist with the name of Opera Software Inc. but there is nothing connecting it to the redirect target and was dissolved long before the creation of these redirects. (See Also: All companies that were related to Opera Software - Annual Report 2014, pg. 162). Gotitbro (talk) 16:11, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Very plausible error. Tag with {{R from incorrect name}}. --BDD (talk) 16:32, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • As seen from a Google search the error hardly appears anywhere. It doesn't seem to be a plausible error to me. Gotitbro (talk) 18:41, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
