The result of the discussion was delete. -- BDD ( talk) 19:17, 28 June 2014 (UTC) reply

The phrase "Simia maxima" does not appear on the King Kong article, nor does it appear anywhere else online in connection with King Kong as far as I can tell. I can see Simia maxima being a joke scientific name for King Kong, but I think it unlikely that users will come up with this joke scientific name independently when searching for King Kong, especially considering that the phrase does not seem to appear in any of the relevant media. As such, I recommend that this redirect be deleted. Neelix ( talk) 16:20, 21 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete I don't believe you. A film from the internet era, that's big budget, heavily promoted worldwide, and a google search with -wikipedia (which eliminates us from results) doesn't get anything? I don't think so. Ego White Tray ( talk) 02:00, 22 June 2014 (UTC) reply

Genocide of the Kurds in Turkey

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 per use of the term in the target article. Number 5 7 21:36, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Which genocide is this? Never heard of before. A denomination for something that has not occurred, not notable, not present in multiple independent reliable sources; not much of a rationale for this action is necessary, in my humble opinion. This is pure anti-Turkish propaganda. Why should I have a User Name? ( talk) 15:21, 21 June 2014 (UTC) reply

Turkish Armenia

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. This is a long-standing redirect, over 8 years old, and such redirects are only deleted if they are in some way harmful. WP:RFD#HARMFUL states "Therefore consider the deletion only of either really harmful redirects or of very recent ones.". Redirects are purely search aids and do not need to be backed up by reliable sources. No policy-compliant reason for deletion has been advanced nor is there any suggestion of harm. This appears in the target and is thus an useful search term. NAC. The Whispering Wind ( talk) 16:06, 28 June 2014 (UTC) reply

There are not multiple "independent" reliable sources for this name. Why should I have a User Name? ( talk) 15:07, 21 June 2014 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was speedy keep. This redirect was recently nominated with the same rationale. Discussion was closed on 1 June 2014. (non-admin closure) — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff ( talktrack) 22:15, 21 June 2014 (UTC) reply

It should not be moved to Geo TV because Geo TV is a network name, whereas Geo Entertainment itself is a channel like Geo News, Geo Super. Please delete this redirect so that we may create it as independent article. Check out official website of geo entertainment. UBS talk 15:01, 21 June 2014 (UTC) reply

Could refer to many other periods of history, elsewhere, if you google this term. The ChampionMan 1234 03:25, 21 June 2014 (UTC) reply

Comment: This should be made into a disambiguation page if other reliable sources indicate this refers to other periods. In China "Republican Era" means when the Republic of China controlled the Mainland. http://hua.umf.maine.edu/China/republic.html WhisperToMe ( talk) 04:51, 21 June 2014 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was keep. The consensus is that there is sufficient connection with Portugal but,in any case, this name is found in the article so it is a valid search term. NAC. The Whispering Wind ( talk) 17:16, 28 June 2014 (UTC) reply

Not particularly Portuguese The ChampionMan 1234 03:14, 21 June 2014 (UTC) reply

China (historical region)

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 History of China Number 5 7 21:38, 3 July 2014 (UTC) reply

The target clearly states that the article is about the People's Republic of China, not a historical region. I know that the PRC article was merged into China (which was about the historical region) a while ago. But other language versions, especially the Chinese Wikiepdia, retains the separation of the PRC article and the article on the historical region, thus i don't see a need for this redirect now.
