The result of the discussion was no consensus, default to keep. "Because Neelix" is void as soon as the first substantiated "keep" opinion is voiced. Among the other comments, there's a roughly even split of opinion between "yes these are real derivative words" and "no these aren't plausible search terms".

• Delete. More Neelix nonsense. Softlavender ( talk) 21:51, 28 December 2015 (UTC) reply
• Keep. I think this a case of Neelix creating what he thought were neologisms, but were, in fact, words that have fallen out of fashion in the English language. A century ago, writers were still using these terms (see this book, this book, and this book). It is entirely possible that a reader of one of these old books will want to know more about these words, both of which are derived from " perfume." -- Notecardforfree ( talk) 00:26, 29 December 2015 (UTC) reply

• delete as Neelix gibberish. Mangoe ( talk) 20:47, 1 January 2016 (UTC) reply
• Delete per Tavix. The question should not be "Is this a word?" The English language is sufficiently extensible that you can adverb-ify (etc.) just about anything. The questions, like with any RfD, are, "Will users search for this?" and "What would users searching for this be looking for?" To the first, I'd say probably not. And to the second, I suspect they would be looking for something more specific than Perfume, which they almost certainly would query first if they were seeking it. -- BDD ( talk) 21:00, 5 January 2016 (UTC) reply

• Keep per Notecardforfree and Rubbish computer. The creator is irrelevant, and so we are left with the question of whether these are plausible search terms for the target, which Notecardforfree demonstrates they are. Then there is the question of whether another target is more likely to be desired by people using these redirects, and I can't find anything we have that would be more useful.

I thought Business Development Bank of Canada at first but could find no evidence anyone uses BDBC for that organization. They have BDC in their logo and use BDC because it fits the French version of their name too. We should not invent acronyms here. Legacypac ( talk) 10:41, 2 January 2016 (UTC) reply

• Retarget to Disulfide bond formation protein C, which is the only one of these that actually uses BDBC as an acronym (ignoring the redlink). Business Development Bank of Canada indeed does not use a second B in their materials. Ivanvector 🍁 ( talk) 19:01, 7 January 2016 (UTC) reply
• Disambig Disulfide bond formation protein C and Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council - the latter is the number one hit when I google the acronym and a search makes it clear that although they do not use it as part of their branding (unlike e.g. LBTH) it is widely used by others to refer to them and even used by them informally.

Delete per WP:CNR, redirects from the wrong namespace. Since healthcare science isn't a project-space topic, these redirects are misleading. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 07:56, 27 December 2015 (UTC) reply

• Keep Wikipedia:Health Sciences basic topics - this link is included in historical versions of the main outline page. If you get rid of it, the link won't redirect when you are viewing the historical pages ( here's one of them). We should retain the history behind the basic topics links. There was a set of about 50 of these created by Larry Sanger in the very beginning. They were wish lists of needed articles, and therefore they were filled with redlinks that you could just click on to create the desired articles. Eventually, the links all turned blue, and the lists were forgotten. Years later, someone discovered these useful lists of blue links, and moved them to article space and renamed them to Lists of basic topics. An unexpected thing happened: people kept adding to them until they were no longer basic. So they were renamed to "Outline of". But if you erase the historical links, someone reviewing the history won't necessarily know what became of those pages if their links are broken by removing these redirects. The Transhumanist 00:12, 29 December 2015 (UTC) reply
• Delete both per nom. Possible problems that these redirects cause (such as making readers think that these lead to a page in the "Wikipedia:" namespace) outweighs the "linkrot" argument. Redirects are supposed to be useful and not misleading, and these are neither. Steel1943 ( talk) 21:20, 29 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • I agree that Wikipedia:Healthcare science serves no useful purpose and should be deleted. But the only purpose that Wikipedia:Health Sciences basic topics serves is as a historical link in page histories. It has zero live links (check "What links here"), except in relation to this deletion discussion. That page was an important part of Wikipedia's development history, and still lives on under a new name. Breaking that link with the past would be disruptive to the preservation of Wikipedia's history. So, the purpose of keeping it would be so that when someone is researching the history of the outlines, they will be able to see what happened to this page just by clicking on it.

• Seems to me that a retarget to Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine may be in order. Hatnote if you feel it necessary. Oiyarbepsy ( talk) 05:35, 7 January 2016 (UTC) reply
• Keep or retarget. The primary objection to cross-namespace redirects is that they will confuse people looking for encyclopaedic content if they end up in project space. This is not the case for redirects out of article space, and so there is no need to delete history. Oiyarbepsy's suggestion is also good if you cannot cope with the idea of a non-harmful redirect that crosses namespaces. Thryduulf ( talk) 13:01, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

• delete It was only at this title for less than a day and the asterisk does make it implausible. The official website link given with the original move summary does not include an asterisk, nor can I find the name stylised in this way anywhere (either of which would make this a plausible redirect) - I suspect it was a hyphenation issue that motivated the move as the website presents the name with none.
