Deletion: This redirect falls under confusion and self-promotion/spam. This is no policy limiting "redirects from foreign languages" but this redirect patterns itself as though this proposed policy were already settled law. It is bupkis, but it is being cited over 60 times in current discussions on this page, with no mention of the non-policy nature of the page at any of the initial links (and not always appearing even in the rebuttals). This proposal should not have a WP:~ style redirect, misleading editors into posting or positing it as though it were policy. —

- Still sounds like an
WP:MFD issue. Yeah sure, it's an essay, but editors can cite it. If you don't agree with it, nominate it for deletion. If this redirect doesn't exist, the essay still will, and editors will just cite the entire name of the essay. I'm not seeing how deleting this redirect is going to assist your cause. By the way, keep given what I just said.

- Another issue here is that the essay is based on the eighth entry as reasons for deleting at the top of the page If the redirect is a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name, it is unlikely to be useful. 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. Improbable typos or misnomers are potential candidates for speedy deletion, if recently created. I may be wrong but I don't think that was recently added so the idea that we don't want foreign language redirects created is not bupkis made to look like a policy. For that reason I doubt that a MFD will be successful. Finally, if this really was an essay masquerading as policy with no actual support I am sure that one of the administrators that have closed RFD's of this nature would have realized this by now, disregarded comments that used WP:FORRED as a rational, and kept the redirect due to the deletion views being discounted.--

- The result of the discussion was retarget to
Cyprus Popular Bank. The consensus is to keep this redirect as a plausible misspelling. I am closing as a retarget because the misspelling should go to the same target as the correctly spelt redirect (
Laiki Bank) and I am taking no position as to which is the better target. NAC.

The action I would like to occur: Deletion. The rationale for that action:
Laiki Bank redirects to
Cyprus Popular Bank.
Laïki Bank is a
Wikipedia:R3#R3 case (
Wikipedia:R#DELETE 8 case). In addition to that,
Laïki Bank is a
Wikipedia:R#DELETE 2 case.

- Keep: CPB Bank is a product of consolidation of several banks including
Laiki Bank, which is mentioned in article text. Regarding odd "ï" in page's name: I couldn't to find any reference to the bank's name with "ï", but that was the name the target article had for nearly a month (apparently there was a time in beginning of 2013 when CPB was called "Laiki Bank"), so this typo is evidently plausible. —

- Delete: I do not understand how you conclude that "this typo is evidently plausible", as you admit that there is no reference to the name of the bank with "odd" "ï". However, I see the substantial meaning of your claim. Thus, I suggest that one of the following is done: 1. Laiki Bank will become a disambiguation page with two options, Cyprus Popular Bank and CPB Bank, 2. CPB Bank will be merged into Cyprus Popular Bank. No matter what the final choice will be, option 1 could be a temporary solution. In any case, this page (Laïki Bank) must be deleted as soon as possible for the reasons which have been mentioned. — Preceding

- The very fact that the target article was moved to this name shows that this typo happens. The fact that the article remained under this name until it was moved to its current location indicates that this typo was not spotted, which (sort of) contributes to plausibility. More importantly, we need a good reason to delete redirect after page move. Merging articles is out of scope of this discussion. —

- Now I understand the issue and stop insisting on the deletion of this redirect page. If the final decision is to keep it, then we must fix another issue, which may be out of the subject. Laiki Bank and Laïki Bank are the same and have to do with both Cyprus Popular Bank and CPB Bank. Thus, I suggest that one of the two options described above is implemented. According to option 1 Laïki Bank will redirect to Laiki Bank. According to option 2 Laïki Bank will redirect to Cyprus Popular Bank.— Preceding

- Target somewhere as mentioned, an article was created with the ï so it obviously means something to someone, and is therefore a plausible redirect. I am not going to pretend to know the history of the banking system of Cyprus, but the redirect should be targeted somewhere.--

delete per Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not for things made up one day-this is not an English-usage term, it is not listed in the Persian Gulf article as an alternate name, nor is it in the article on the Gulf naming dispute. Holds no currency in English, just someone's wishful thinking

North American Numbering Plan. NANP has only operated in two Hispanophone countries (Mexico and the Dominican Republic), and Mexico, being far larger, is definitely the
primary usage, even though they now use a different plan.
