According to the redirect history, "Coffee Vision Inc" appears to have been a
franchising company that held 40 Starbucks stores in
Quebec before 2008. It's completely non-notable and not mentioned in the main Starbucks article. It had a {{
prod2}} template, but was redirected instead of deleted, even though the redirector stated that "there isn't anything of sufficient signifcance (sic) in this article to merge into the Starbucks article." This needs to be red to show that we don't have any information on the subject in the off chance someone searches for this. I am also including the child redirects from this former article. --

Page move to a correct name resulting in an implausible redirect. No one is going to search for this article with the +s in the title.

- I disagree since readers will think they are arriving at information about the subject, just to only see a "show name (year)" entry in a specific section on its broadcast station's article. The more appropriate action in this case would be to delete the redirect, list the link to the redirect on the appropriate disambiguation page as a
WP:REDLINK entry that meets
MOS:DABMENTION (probably in this case by linking
AMC (TV channel) somewhere in the entry), then look for other articles where this title can be linked to help promote article creation.

This seems a bit NPOV, especially considering that there is no specific section for criticism of Richard Dawkins. It was originally an article with a small amount of content, but it was just redirected.

Old, apparently non-notable, article reduced to a redirect last December. While I'm not sure I have an immediate opinion on the notability of the programming language (at first glance the old article appears pretty unnotable, and unreferenced), the redirect to
List of programming languages is clearly inappropriate. Probably outright deletion of this article is the best idea.

- Note:
List of programming languages, as do many list articles, lists only subjects with Wikipedia articles. A circular link to
Escapade (programming language) was deleted today (prompting this RfD), presumably the redirect was added on the basis that Escapade was mentioned in the list article.

Delete; all these are wrongly constructed (the creator meant to say "after" instead of "before"), are not phrases that occur anywhere else besides Wikipedia and its spawn, and are unnecessary since "
yod-dropping" and
yod dropping cover all of them. Existence of these red herrings means that when you type in "yod dropping" you see these instead of the link you want.

- Delete. These pages began as articles way back in 2005 -- IIRC, they were created by an anon who started countless questionable language-related pages. (I was alerted because I merged them all into a single "Yod-dropping" page, which is now a redirect.) Per nom they clutter search results and cause confusion, and are so unlikely as search terms it's not worth all the problems they cause.

- There are many things relevant to Persian-speakers that should not have Persian redirects, e.g. the United States. My rule of thumb for whether to delete this sort of redirect is whether the foreign word would be out of place on the target page.
Persian language gives its name in itself, English, and a few others to discuss the etymology; it does not mention the Turkish translation and I don’t think it should. I doubt that “Farsça”, unlike the native name, shows up in English-language sources that would prompt English-speaking readers to look it up here.

WP:RFD#D2 confusing. We don!t have
Dr Sex. I am not sure exactly whether stops are supposed to be in abbreviations like "doctor" i learned that if the last letter of the word is the last letter of the abbreviation then it doesn't need a stop, but that is just
Usage and Abusage, and
Fowler of course. F'rexample, I was told that
Mr. for some reasons has a stop but
Mrs doesn't, being (which is untrue and also oxymoronic) abbreviations for "Master" and "Mistresss"). I can't help the vageness of English orthography.

- Comment:
Old stone face was a good find by 70, props to you, because I missed it and I thought I was fairly thorough with my
WP:BEFORE. I noticed the darts player when doing research on it, but figured it to either be a minor nickname or an
WP:XY situation. Strangely enough,
John Lowe is the only one who has that nickname mentioned at his article, so the rest fail
WP:DABMENTION at this time. I don't quite have the time right now to do the research, but I'd like to look into the nickname more and verify the other 2-3 names at that dab. If it's a good dab, I feel like it'd be best to move that dab to
Old Stoneface as that is how
John Lowe's nickname is spelled (both other people would have to spell it the other way to keep it put). If not,
Old Stoneface and
Old stone face would/should be redirected/retargeted to
John Lowe (maybe with hatnotes depending if one one other has the nickname and how prominent it is.) I'll update this post when my research is concluded, but I wanted to get that out there now in case someone knows more than me or has other opinions. --
