Delete the last three as
WP:RFD#D2 confusing,
WP:RFD#D5 makes no sense, since the target is simply "2000s" and not the date range indicated by the redirects' titles. More Neutral on the first one at the moment. With respect, I've added the section links in the nomination above (I know Twinkle doesn't do that) for clarity. I note the difference between the last two is a hyphen versus an en dash. The first one actually was supposedly
nominated for deletion way back in 2005 but that talk page was only added (by
User:AnomieBOT) on 1 January 2014 so not sure what's going on there. The third and fourth ones also seem to have consensus on their talk pages (with a very small quorum), from 1 January 2014, that they should be deleted.

talk page or in a

The situation is completely similar with my previous request below. These women were also sisters and two separate historical figures. They weren't a person who had two names. They also had different mothers. One of these sultanas was the wife of a minister (Şehzade) and the other one died at a very young age (Hafsa). A user moved
Hafsa Sultan to
Şehzade Sultan and changed the whole material except creating a new article for Şehzade Sultan and caused this problem. I think this redirect should also become deleted. Keivan.fTalk13:39, 14 April 2015 (UTC)reply
What's with the cedilla on the S (if that is the right name for it)? That's not English. So if you are going to move it, do it properly. I'd be inclined just to Revert it back to where it was.
Sezhade Sultan, without the cedilla, is red: but if we keep it should be created as an {{
R from title without diacritics}}.

@
SimonTrew: The cedilla on the S is completely normal. It's a Turkish name and it should be written in that way. Even the names of Turkish actors and political figures are written like this in English Wikipedia. However, I'm not here to discuss about Turkish alphabet. Actually I see no reason for keeping Hafsa Sultan, but if you think it should be kept, then it should redirect to one of her parents' pages. Unfortunately there's nothing about her in
Selim I and
Ayşe Hafsa Sultan's article. So keeping this redirect page has no meaning. Keivan.fTalk06:09, 15 April 2015 (UTC)reply
@
Keivan.f: thanks for explaining that. As far as I remember, and I am just going off the top of my head,
Attaturk changed the
Turkish Alphabet from
Arabic to the
Latin Alphabet in 1922, which must have been a bit of a surprise, but it is useful to remember that: I had never seen this little lodge before. I agree with you it should go Delete per
WP:RFD#D5, makes no sense, and perhaps
WP:NOTENGLISH but that is more the target than the redirect. I doubt an English-speaing user on an English keyboard could possibly type the target, but the redirect itself doesn't have any diacritics.

Kıvanç Karakaş,
Bülent İplikçioğlu,
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan,..... For more examples see Turkish people's category. Almost all of their names have such Latin letters. But when you search these names without those letters, you'll get the result. — Preceding

Yes, I agree in principle. Our job here at RfD is to help people get to where they want to go. Sometimes that means a delete because the redirect gets in the way of the search engine and people end up in the wrong place. But if not, it tends to be kept as harmless, however few hits it gets.
Kivanc Karakas exists but not
Recep Tayyyip Erdogan nor
Bulent Iplikcioglue. I think that it is pretty standard procedure to create the {{
R from title without diacritics}} (I do it if I create a translation from French which has an accent, for example), but don't want to do so before we get consensus here about what we do with these, as that's just making more work for each other.

I did try searching, by the way. I am nothing if not thorough, as most here will tell you, and yes, i got that result. The problem is there are lots of different ways of searching and we don't want an R to "block" the search, that is a difficult call to make because we don't know what the search would do without it but have to guess. Fun, isn't it!

@
BDD: I think this article's situation is different from the one below. When this one was moved from Hafsa to Sehzade its material also changed. But Hatice Sultan was moved to Fatma Sultan without any changes in the article. I think Hafsa's page should become restored if she was notable and if she wasn't it should become deleted. I also think we should keep Sehzade Sultan's article. Keivan.fTalk13:05, 22 April 2015 (UTC)reply
Comment. I am not sure the status quo ante is much good, though, (you mean, "what it was before", I presume: we have an article
status quo ante bellum which i have not checked but what I would translate as "what it was like before the war"). The thing is we need to set an obiter dicta →
obiter dictum on these things so they are not created unnecessaily. R's are cheap, sure, but the problem is they hurt people trying to search for information: that's our job isn't it?

Weak delete Sorry, I am confused by the discussion that occurred above. Though, what I see in the article is someone arbitrarily referred to as "Hafsa" without explanation of their relation to the subject. They might be the sister of the subject or maybe even the subject herself. There might be a connection, but it is not very clear. The article should receive some cleaning up here, including potentially removing mentions of "Hafsa", and subsequently deleting this redirect here. It's confusing to me and confusing to the readers. --

Hatice Sultan (daughter of Ahmed III)
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.
But I think it's harmful. Imagine
Prince John of the United Kingdom redirected to
Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester. It really makes people confused. When I searched Hatice Sultan (daughter of Ahmed III) and except that I found an article about Fatma Sultan I got confused. Hatice Sultan should redirect to one of her parents' page not her sister's. I was thinking about creating a new article for Hatice and for doing that, these two pages should become separated. Keivan.fTalk06:21, 15 April 2015 (UTC)reply
If you create the page, presumably as a {{
bio-stub}}, it will soon be closed here as a procedural close as an R converted to an article, and I very much encourage you to do so. I haven't the knowledge to do it myself, but have done so in the past on engineering topics, and I think one was closed yesterday in the same way. That's just making the encyclopaedia better. If I can help with any copy editing etc please let me know.

@
SimonTrew: Thanks. If I need your help, I'll tell you. But the problem about Hatice Sultan (daughter of Ahmed III) is that she was only one year old when she died. Thus no special and important information can be found for her. I think like Hafsa Sultan, we should delete this one too. Keivan.fTalk13:50, 15 April 2015 (UTC)reply
I disagree. That is exactly what we must do.
Paula Yates is notable in her own right, not because she was the sometime wife of
Bob Geldof (perhaps I picked the worst example possible). These daughters are not notable in their own right. Any woman except Eve is the daughter of someone, but we don't have articles for every celebrity's daughter (partly because they are entitled to their privacy): if they choose to put themselves in the public eye, that's a different matter, but we don't have an article on
Kathryn Blair], for example, the daughter of
Tony Blair and
Cherie Blair, because she is not in the public eye and not notable in herself. (She is in Cherie Blair's infobox: actually it Rs to the DAB at
Katherine Blair, but she hasn't an article: as gnoming I'll check if that is tagged properly.)

Oddly, in
Tony Blair's infobox the children are not linked, and are listed only by first name: In
Cherie Blair's, they have surnames ("Blair"). I think my point is proved, though, and I don't want to fix that while this discussion is open (and not sure which way I would fix it: children of famous people are entitled to their privacy; but the
Register of Births, Deaths and Marriages is a matter of public record which anyone can look up, and
genealogy websites generally do).

@
SimonTrew: Unfortunately I discovered a new problem. User:Retrieverlove is the person who moved Hatice Sultan (daughter of Ahmed III) to Fatma Sultan (daughter of Ahmed III) and changed the whole material of this article. Actually Hatice Sultan didn't die as a one-year-old girl (that was my mistake). Actually she had a political marriage and was influential. Take a look at the history of the page. I don't know what to do now. Should we make two separate articles for these two individuals? All of these happened because of that user. He always move pages and changes their material without discussion. Then I'll report the situation to an administrator to make those articles separated. There are warnings on his user page telling him to start a new article for a new individual except moving the pages and destroying their material. Of course he hasn't made this kind of problem since a few months ago. Anyway we have to decide what to do with this redirect page. Keivan.fTalk18:58, 18 April 2015 (UTC)reply
@
SimonTrew: I'm really confused. When I read the page's history before moving I understood that he just moved the page and changed the name from Hatice to Fatma. I think we have to ask him why he did this? Maybe the correct title for this article is Fatma Sultan and she was married to Ibrahim Pashsa not her sister Hatice. It's really confusing. Someone has to ask him why he moved the page. Keivan.fTalk19:03, 18 April 2015 (UTC)reply
@

@
SimonTrew: I have checked the sources. They're two different individuals. They're sisters. The things that I don't know is that was Hatice married to Ibrahim Pasha or Fatma? Was Hatice and influential figure during his father's reign or Fatma? I don't why that user moved this page. We have to ask him. I don't want to make false statements about two historical figures. We have to make sure. Keivan.fTalk13:36, 19 April 2015 (UTC)reply
It sounds like the simplest solution for now would be to undo the move and change of article scope. That never should've happened, regardless of the notability of either of these figures. From there, we could AfD Hatice or write a new article on Fatma as necessary. --

Query@
Keivan.f: is it at all possible they were both married to
Ahmed III? That seems rather
incestuous but it happens. I believe, and I may very well be mistaken, in Islam one is allowed to have four wives, but he was Christian surely, although no mention of his religion is at the target. According to
theottomons.org he did seem to like to collect wives. God only knows why, one is enough trouble.
Si Trew (

22:25, 24 April 2015 (UTC)reply
@
Si Trew: No they're his daughters and I'm sure that he was a Muslim, not a Christian. But you're right. Under the Islamic law you can just have four "wed" wives. Ottoman's harem system seems to be confusing at first but I can explain it now. Above the all women of the harem was
valide sultan, mother of the sultan. After her, four wed wives of the sultan had the highest positions. They were called
haseki sultan or
kadınefendi. Then came daughters and sisters of the sultan and finally there were many concubines who were called
hatun or
hanımefendi. Women were called hatun (instead of sultan) and valide hatun (instead of valide sultan) before
Suleiman the Magnificent's reign. He created the titles valide sultan and haseki sultan for his mother,
Ayşe Hafsa Sultan, and his principal wives,
Hürrem Sultan and
Mahidevran Sultan, and the title hatun remained for lower ranked wives and concubines. After 1650s kadınefendi and hanımefendi were used instead of haseki sultan and hatun. Keivan.fTalk06:48, 25 April 2015 (UTC)reply
thanks for that. This is all useful information and I learned a lot, we should probably link into the article, which doesn't even mention
Harem except in a reference. The reason I assumed he was Christian was just the picture on the external link I gave appears to show (in my eyes) him wearing a
mitre but I guess it is some other kind of
titfer. I think poor old Ahmed needs quite a tidy up then, but don't like to do so when it's related to an open discussion.

This screen keeps moving things around. Fed up with it. My question to @
Keivan.f:, who is obviously the expert on this one and am inclined to go on that expertise: My question is, do you think that
Hurrem Sultan and the
Harem of the Sultan could possibly be confused (to an English-language audience): and if so how would we disambiguate that?
Si Trew (

15:46, 25 April 2015 (UTC)reply
Yeah, still not sure on that. Because in my southern British accent we tend to use
elision a lot, which seems lazy to others but is not laziness it is part of my accent or
dialect, so a "hat" becomes a "a" with
glottal stop each side which actually is harder, if you think about it, than just saying "hat", but there's loads of
H dropping and whatever, and our vowels are all over the place. I have trouble living in hungary because the vowels are very precise and I can never hit them right cos in English they are
dipthongs whereas in Hungarian they are
pure vowels.

That isn't a reason for deletion - I can't agree or disagree with it, because it's a complete non sequitur. It's not that I particularly want the redirects kept or not, but that I want to suss out whether they should be kept or not. Highly relevant to that is the reason(s) that have been presented for that - here that the redirects have been nominated for deletion, but no reasons has been given is important to trying to suss out what's going on, and what to do about it.

If you can't agree or disagree with "it" (not sure what "it" is) then why !vote for delete rather than just stay neutral? As Tavix says, a reason has been given:
WP:RFOREIGN (
WP:FORRED), in the nomination. I don't understand how that is a

I did try searching, by the way. I am nothing if not thorough, as most here will tell you, and yes, i got that result. The problem is there are lots of different ways of searching and we don't want an R to "block" the search, that is a difficult call to make because we don't know what the search would do without it but have to guess. Fun, isn't it!

@
BDD: I think this article's situation is different from the one below. When this one was moved from Hafsa to Sehzade its material also changed. But Hatice Sultan was moved to Fatma Sultan without any changes in the article. I think Hafsa's page should become restored if she was notable and if she wasn't it should become deleted. I also think we should keep Sehzade Sultan's article. Keivan.fTalk13:05, 22 April 2015 (UTC)reply
Comment. I am not sure the status quo ante is much good, though, (you mean, "what it was before", I presume: we have an article
status quo ante bellum which i have not checked but what I would translate as "what it was like before the war"). The thing is we need to set an obiter dicta →
obiter dictum on these things so they are not created unnecessaily. R's are cheap, sure, but the problem is they hurt people trying to search for information: that's our job isn't it?

Weak delete Sorry, I am confused by the discussion that occurred above. Though, what I see in the article is someone arbitrarily referred to as "Hafsa" without explanation of their relation to the subject. They might be the sister of the subject or maybe even the subject herself. There might be a connection, but it is not very clear. The article should receive some cleaning up here, including potentially removing mentions of "Hafsa", and subsequently deleting this redirect here. It's confusing to me and confusing to the readers. --

Hatice Sultan (daughter of Ahmed III)
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.
But I think it's harmful. Imagine
Prince John of the United Kingdom redirected to
Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester. It really makes people confused. When I searched Hatice Sultan (daughter of Ahmed III) and except that I found an article about Fatma Sultan I got confused. Hatice Sultan should redirect to one of her parents' page not her sister's. I was thinking about creating a new article for Hatice and for doing that, these two pages should become separated. Keivan.fTalk06:21, 15 April 2015 (UTC)reply
If you create the page, presumably as a {{
bio-stub}}, it will soon be closed here as a procedural close as an R converted to an article, and I very much encourage you to do so. I haven't the knowledge to do it myself, but have done so in the past on engineering topics, and I think one was closed yesterday in the same way. That's just making the encyclopaedia better. If I can help with any copy editing etc please let me know.

@
SimonTrew: Thanks. If I need your help, I'll tell you. But the problem about Hatice Sultan (daughter of Ahmed III) is that she was only one year old when she died. Thus no special and important information can be found for her. I think like Hafsa Sultan, we should delete this one too. Keivan.fTalk13:50, 15 April 2015 (UTC)reply
I disagree. That is exactly what we must do.
Paula Yates is notable in her own right, not because she was the sometime wife of
Bob Geldof (perhaps I picked the worst example possible). These daughters are not notable in their own right. Any woman except Eve is the daughter of someone, but we don't have articles for every celebrity's daughter (partly because they are entitled to their privacy): if they choose to put themselves in the public eye, that's a different matter, but we don't have an article on
Kathryn Blair], for example, the daughter of
Tony Blair and
Cherie Blair, because she is not in the public eye and not notable in herself. (She is in Cherie Blair's infobox: actually it Rs to the DAB at
Katherine Blair, but she hasn't an article: as gnoming I'll check if that is tagged properly.)

Oddly, in
Tony Blair's infobox the children are not linked, and are listed only by first name: In
Cherie Blair's, they have surnames ("Blair"). I think my point is proved, though, and I don't want to fix that while this discussion is open (and not sure which way I would fix it: children of famous people are entitled to their privacy; but the
Register of Births, Deaths and Marriages is a matter of public record which anyone can look up, and
genealogy websites generally do).

@
SimonTrew: Unfortunately I discovered a new problem. User:Retrieverlove is the person who moved Hatice Sultan (daughter of Ahmed III) to Fatma Sultan (daughter of Ahmed III) and changed the whole material of this article. Actually Hatice Sultan didn't die as a one-year-old girl (that was my mistake). Actually she had a political marriage and was influential. Take a look at the history of the page. I don't know what to do now. Should we make two separate articles for these two individuals? All of these happened because of that user. He always move pages and changes their material without discussion. Then I'll report the situation to an administrator to make those articles separated. There are warnings on his user page telling him to start a new article for a new individual except moving the pages and destroying their material. Of course he hasn't made this kind of problem since a few months ago. Anyway we have to decide what to do with this redirect page. Keivan.fTalk18:58, 18 April 2015 (UTC)reply
@
SimonTrew: I'm really confused. When I read the page's history before moving I understood that he just moved the page and changed the name from Hatice to Fatma. I think we have to ask him why he did this? Maybe the correct title for this article is Fatma Sultan and she was married to Ibrahim Pashsa not her sister Hatice. It's really confusing. Someone has to ask him why he moved the page. Keivan.fTalk19:03, 18 April 2015 (UTC)reply

Right, so what you're saying is Hatice and Fatma are two different people. In that case, there is no point linking one to the other, that is just misleading. I think that is what you are saying.

@
SimonTrew: I have checked the sources. They're two different individuals. They're sisters. The things that I don't know is that was Hatice married to Ibrahim Pasha or Fatma? Was Hatice and influential figure during his father's reign or Fatma? I don't why that user moved this page. We have to ask him. I don't want to make false statements about two historical figures. We have to make sure. Keivan.fTalk13:36, 19 April 2015 (UTC)reply
It sounds like the simplest solution for now would be to undo the move and change of article scope. That never should've happened, regardless of the notability of either of these figures. From there, we could AfD Hatice or write a new article on Fatma as necessary. --

Query@
Keivan.f: is it at all possible they were both married to
Ahmed III? That seems rather
incestuous but it happens. I believe, and I may very well be mistaken, in Islam one is allowed to have four wives, but he was Christian surely, although no mention of his religion is at the target. According to
theottomons.org he did seem to like to collect wives. God only knows why, one is enough trouble.
Si Trew (

22:25, 24 April 2015 (UTC)reply
@
Si Trew: No they're his daughters and I'm sure that he was a Muslim, not a Christian. But you're right. Under the Islamic law you can just have four "wed" wives. Ottoman's harem system seems to be confusing at first but I can explain it now. Above the all women of the harem was
valide sultan, mother of the sultan. After her, four wed wives of the sultan had the highest positions. They were called
haseki sultan or
kadınefendi. Then came daughters and sisters of the sultan and finally there were many concubines who were called
hatun or
hanımefendi. Women were called hatun (instead of sultan) and valide hatun (instead of valide sultan) before
Suleiman the Magnificent's reign. He created the titles valide sultan and haseki sultan for his mother,
Ayşe Hafsa Sultan, and his principal wives,
Hürrem Sultan and
Mahidevran Sultan, and the title hatun remained for lower ranked wives and concubines. After 1650s kadınefendi and hanımefendi were used instead of haseki sultan and hatun. Keivan.fTalk06:48, 25 April 2015 (UTC)reply
thanks for that. This is all useful information and I learned a lot, we should probably link into the article, which doesn't even mention
Harem except in a reference. The reason I assumed he was Christian was just the picture on the external link I gave appears to show (in my eyes) him wearing a
mitre but I guess it is some other kind of
titfer. I think poor old Ahmed needs quite a tidy up then, but don't like to do so when it's related to an open discussion.

This screen keeps moving things around. Fed up with it. My question to @
Keivan.f:, who is obviously the expert on this one and am inclined to go on that expertise: My question is, do you think that
Hurrem Sultan and the
Harem of the Sultan could possibly be confused (to an English-language audience): and if so how would we disambiguate that?
Si Trew (

15:46, 25 April 2015 (UTC)reply
Yeah, still not sure on that. Because in my southern British accent we tend to use
elision a lot, which seems lazy to others but is not laziness it is part of my accent or
dialect, so a "hat" becomes a "a" with
glottal stop each side which actually is harder, if you think about it, than just saying "hat", but there's loads of
H dropping and whatever, and our vowels are all over the place. I have trouble living in hungary because the vowels are very precise and I can never hit them right cos in English they are
dipthongs whereas in Hungarian they are
pure vowels.

If you want the redirects kept, just say that it "directs readers to what they're looking for." That's ALL you need to say. The second part weakens your argument with that ridiculous statement.

That isn't a reason for deletion - I can't agree or disagree with it, because it's a complete non sequitur. It's not that I particularly want the redirects kept or not, but that I want to suss out whether they should be kept or not. Highly relevant to that is the reason(s) that have been presented for that - here that the redirects have been nominated for deletion, but no reasons has been given is important to trying to suss out what's going on, and what to do about it.
WilyD12:18, 29 May 2015 (UTC)reply
If you can't agree or disagree with "it" (not sure what "it" is) then why !vote for delete rather than just stay neutral? As Tavix says, a reason has been given:
WP:RFOREIGN (
WP:FORRED), in the nomination. I don't understand how that is a
non sequitur when that essay discusses what has been consensus in previous foreign-language redirects, unless you are totally rejecting the idea of
precedent and think everything must be discussed

It's not at all unreasonable to think that, on the English Wikipedia, a reader searching for "Bob l'éponge" or "Bob Esponja" is looking for something other than SpongeBob SquarePants. They could easily be looking for specifically foreign media related to the show, for example. --
