The result of the discussion was speedy delete (R3). -- Black Falcon (talk) 23:33, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Remainder of an ill-conceived page move. We have Indri (with a hatnote to the disambiguation) and Indri (disambiguation); I don't think this constitutes a likely search term. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 19:32, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not only is the redirect title ungrammatical and therefore unlikely, it does not appear accurate to call this a "success [sic] escape attempt", as there is no proof that it was successful. I would suggest deletion. signed, Rosguill talk 18:16, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. --BDD (talk) 16:56, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A user (a non-Korean speaker I believe) thought the title of the K-drama reads—or means—"dual", oblivious to the fact that the production company uses the English title Duel (please see the target article). I think people would more likely search "Duel" than "Dual". Thank you. Angga (formerly Angga1061) 09:17, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Can the Korean 듀얼 be translated either way? PC78 (talk) 11:53, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think I found out just now that the user—and thus, this source that is used for the article on one of the drama's leading actors—read the Hangeul title somewhat correctly. As Koreans would pronounce foreign words almost exactly the same way as they are originally pronounced, "듀얼" reads "dual", but it can also read "duel" as the drama's production company suggests (since "dual" and "duel" are pronounced exactly the same). To be honest, I'm not a native Korean speaker myself, so please understand.—Angga (formerly Angga1061) 17:00, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Forgetting a letter is quite common, but forgetting 2 letters is highly unlikely. James-the-Charizard (talk to me!) (contribs) 13:51, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Delete. [Edit, per below comments] The redirect averages eight hits a day, and recently had over 50 hits (maybe a misspelling in a news or social article?). So quite a few readers are using it, and it's possible it may become further used as a shortcut on social media. Nothing is hurt by keeping it, and eight readers a day will learn how to spell the name. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:55, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It is likely that many of those hits are caused by it hijacking autocomplete. Wikipedia is the top search result when you've only typed wikipe, but as soon as you type the d, wikiped takes over that spot. I know I've clicked the wrong autocomplete suggestion in other similar situations. --Ahecht (TALK
    PAGE    ) 19:36, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I'm not convinced that this redirect helps confused readers, for the word "Wikipedia" occurs several times on every article-space page (most visibly under the logo). Anyone who gets that far will either finish typing or have it auto-completed correctly; I'm pretty sure it only receives the hits it does because of autocomplete. As there's no useful function, and keeping it technically makes the correct search harder, I would recommend deletion. ComplexRational (talk) 21:33, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per compelling arguments by nom, Ahecht, and ComplexRational, especially: "keeping it technically makes the correct search harder". -- Black Falcon (talk) 23:27, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Apparently "Wikiped" is a verb in pop culture, meaning to search something on Wikipedia. But then again, Urban Dictionary isn't a reliable source, and I'm not even sure how often the term "wikiped" is used. Besides that, I have no other comment for the result of this RfC.

Delete Xishan National Forest Park is different to Xihui Park. Xishan National Forest Park is in Beijing and Xihui Park is in Wuxi. SCP-2000 (talk) 10:08, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Disambiguator for this film is both mis-spaced and mis-capitalized. UnitedStatesian (talk) 05:53, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. No valid reason for deletion specified. Ruslik_Zero 11:53, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and WP:RDAB. Malformed redirect, which is a perfectly valid reason. PC78 (talk) 13:20, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as an unlikely, malformed title that contains 4 errors and treats "laughing out loud" as the expanded form of "LOL" instead of treating "LOL (Laughing Out Loud)" as the work's complete title. -- Black Falcon (talk) 15:45, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete- malformed redirect. It really isn't a plausible search term. Reyk YO! 15:28, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, Similar to the logic in Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2012 August 30#LOHGBF, no one is going to search for a Wikipedia list by its acronym. UnitedStatesian (talk) 05:37, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, I disagree with above user. I often search by acronym as it speeds searching up. It makes it easier to find what i'm looking for. Makro (talk) 13:25, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all. All three redirects are made-up abbreviations of the list's title. Invented shortcuts for editors' benefit can be appropriate outside of content namespaces or in a pseudo-namespace, where they can be shared with other editors at the destination page via {{Shortcut}}, but not in regular article space. -- Black Falcon (talk) 17:02, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all. Made-up acronyms that only mean something to the user who created them. Google search for OFAHE finds nothing related to the series other than this redirect. PC78 (talk) 11:02, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all per nom. The redirects are not official alternative names or acronyms for their target subjects. Steel1943 (talk) 19:24, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
