- 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
Peace movement. I have carefully considered Randy Kryn's closely reasoned dissenting opinion but I do not consider that his argument is strong enough to overturn what is a clear consensus. Redirects are solely search tools and technical accuracy is not necessary. The aim of a redirect is to take the reader to the article that provides the most relevant information and the consensus view is that the retarget achieves this. NAC.

Should this redirect to
Peace movement instead of
List of peace activists? For example,
Feminist redirects to
Feminism, not
List of feminists;
Homeopath redirects to
Homeopathy, not
List of homeopaths; and
Diarist redirects to
Diary, not
List of diarists.

- Retarget: more consistent and probably more relevant any way. —

- Stay as is. A peace activist is also an
anti-war activist, not only someone from the "Peace movement", so it should stay as is. "Anti-war activist" redirects to the 'Anti-war movement' page, as it should, but 'Peace activist' is much broader and includes both pages. The template which goes with many of the articles related to the anti-war and peace movements is named "Anti-war", and maybe should be renamed as both, but they are two separate entities and pages. Anti-war and peace go hand in hand but do not always live within the same home. I've worked on and keep an eye on the list of peace activist page, and found this request after I saw a new "Main article" redirect at its top and changed it to the two 'See also' links at the top. And the list also includes anti-nuclear activists, which do not fit into the role of "Anti-war" or "Peace" movements. Hopefully we can work out the language and meanings, and thanks for hearing all sides.

- Retarget to peace movement. For the most part, pages should only target to "list" is they themselves have the word list in the name.

This category has a spelling error in the title ("Appenines" instead of "Apennines) so has been moved and emptied. All pages that were on it have now had the category changed accordingly

- Delete. I agree with Czarkoff: category redirects for misspellings are much less useful than pretty much any other kind of redirect. Old page revisions won't display wrongly with them (unlike if we delete a template redirect or a file redirect), and we're highly unlikely to have significant off-wiki links to categories (unlike articles), so the category's going to be quite useless.

- Comment I made the initial Rfd because if a redirect exists wouldn't that allow the misspelled title to appear as a blue link at the bottom of articles? In fact doesn't this apply to all article moves as well. The misspelled redirect could appear on a page as a blue link when in fact isn't Wikipedia striving to be a top quality encyclopedia so such errors, if they exist, should appear as red links to point up the item for editors to correct. I don't know of any encyclopedia worthy of the name which casually allows the appearance of errors like this. Regarding whether this is the correct place for this discussion, the reason it's here is that I just clicked on the Twinkle link to start the process

- @
Jodosma: This discussion will proceed normally. If
VPP discussion will settle with
WP:CFD as proper venue, this discussion will be closed and referenced from procedural nomination at CFD. The misspelled redirects in article space are allowed when particular misspelling is common enough to warrant redirection of readers to the article they were trying to access without forcing them to wrangle through search. —

- This is odd. The term is used in this
[1] linguistic online database, but I can't find it anywhere else. I also can't verify this classification in the literature ref cited by that database, Pellard 2009 (online
here). It also doesn't seem to make much sense linguistically, because there are no sister nodes of "non-nuclear" Japanese dialects in the tree, so the "nuclear" branch doesn't seem to contrast with anything. (There's just "Old Japanese", but that is of course not really a sister branch, but an ancestor). "Nuclear Japanese" seems to be merely a synonym of "Japanese proper" as opposed to other "Japonic languages" (i.e.
Ryukyu), but then it is quite unclear to me why that database chose to represent "Japanese" and "Nuclear Japanese" as two distinct nodes. Given the non-attestation elsewhere in the literature, we could treat it as a non-notable neologism.

- The result of the discussion was retarget to
List of aerial disappearances. This was definitely an unhelpful redirect and the clear consensus is to retarget to a page that is likely to lead the reader to information that they are seeking. NAC.

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, but that does not mean that readers should not get the information they come for. —
