Editorialized article title. The target of the redirect would not be the article people would associate with renouncing citizenship (FATCA).

Canada.

- Delete per Legacypac. Recent created, ungrammatical, and headline-like rather than a likely article title, so I'd say it's an unlikely enough search term (basically
Wp:R#D8) that it can be safely deleted.

- Comment, but Americans ARE renouncing citizenship in records numbers, and if I start an article about this phenomenon
Mike will be the first to nominate to
wp:AfD. So does this mean
consensus or
censorship? — Preceding

- The fact you are stating is part of an article already, this redirect is actually extremely misleading because it points to ONE cause of the phenomenon and uses an editorialized headline. Secondly would this justify a standalone article? Thirdly, just because consensus doesn't agree with you doesn't make it censorship! You have some phenomenal edits to Wikipedia however not every single news article warrants a redirect nor is every topic/subject/event notable.

- Comment the phrase you're looking for is "record numbers", not "records numbers". English doesn't inflect adjectives to match the nouns.

- Retarget - I'd be ok with retargeting to
Renunciation of citizenship#United States if there were some info there about the recent trend. The stats show that this is very actively used, 74 hits in just the last few days. That's more than the noise usually generated by Rfd. However targeting it to a theorized cause is unwarranted editorializing, and the source used to make the connection doesn't really say that FATCA is the cause.

- Actually the phenomenon is specifically mentioned there, so this is now my !vote. I'm not fussed over the grammatical error.

- Keep Wow! 6 delete votes for a redirect that I built because I am unable to start articles on wikipedia without running the gauntlet of multiple CSDs, PRODs and AfDs by the nominator and his followers. The phenomenon of American citizens renouncing their citizenship is real - I invite others to research it on google. It’s not news: the trend has been around for several years. Had the nominator objected to the target of the redirect he could have simply changed it to redirect elsewhere. Spelling mistakes/don’t like the article title? — Why not simply move the redirect to another title instead of nominating it for deletion where while we all debate this to death, no one is plugging the hole of knowledge at Wikipedia.

- Question - would there be any objection to creating a redirect from
Americans renouncing citizenship in record numbers (correcting the grammatical error) pointing either at the current target or to
Renunciation of citizenship#United States? If the only issue is the grammatical error then either of these should be ok.

Unexpected redirect. Looks like an attempt to create a redirect from a subspace in the user namespace, but with the wrong namespace name, making it into a redirect from the article namespace instead.

Another literal translation of a Greek word that has many other meanings and will not help search. We've deleted hundreds of these translations. My hotel could be on the (traffic) circle. We could draw on the circle and so on.

Delete per
WP:RFD#D2 confusing (and
WP:SURPRISE,
WP:REDLINK). Manchester is not mentioned at the target section, or indeed at all in the article. Considering that
Metropolitan Community Churchis also a redirect to the same target, anyone typing (or AutoCompleting) this specific title presumably wants info about the church in Manchester, specifically.
For now, I've marked as {{
R to section}}

highly unlikely search term, including small k kansas. No real reason for it to exist - it was created via several strange page moves

- Just being pedantic: the search engine is not case sensitive. If "...from Kansas" is useful then the current title is equally useful.

- Renaming a redirect only compounds the issue by creating another redirect. If this is useful, then we really should have a similar redirect for every state, and then start on regions like Southeast, Northwest, and large cities like LA, Chicago, Boston etc. till we have 398 obscure redirects like a former admin. created to a window article. I also see this as a slippery slope toward more of these slice and dice longevity lists.

More such lists would be fantastic. I agree we wouldn't have much use for lists for each state, but having a redirect in place can have the effect of discouraging creation of an article.

- Delete, this is misleading as it implies that a list of supercentenarians from Kansas exists somewhere at that target, and there's not. Sure, you can sort by state, but that's not a separate Kansas list. There wouldn't be much to see on such a list since the only ones listed with ties to Kansas are
Delma Kollar (born) and
Ella Schuler (died). --
