(Neelix) not sure. I've tagged a lot of variants (
arrow-cresting machine and such) as keepers but this, without "machine" or just "crester" seems a bit too far to me, it would seem to kinda be the agent noun or art of arrow cresting but not the machine itself? Might be OK though

Keep - [arrow[-]]cresting is a thing, but there's nothing about it at any of the related topics, like
arrow or
bow and arrow, so if someone is looking for information on it, this target is where they'll find it.

Reverse the redirect per BDD's suggestion: article should be at
arrow cresting. Cresting was done for probably the entire history of archery. Machines are only a minor aspect of it; nearly all the sources I can find about cresting machines focus on
WP:HOWTO stuff that isn't suitable for expanding the article. Deletearrowcresting per Peter James.

I guess this is
WP:RFOREIGN but I don't know what language it is. Gtrans just detects it as English I guess because of the "mother of". Either that or it is an extremely unlikely series of typos. (And it could well detect it as English exactly because we have this redirect as I believe Gtrans uses Wikipedia as part of its corpus, but that is purely a guess because it's a
trade secret but I have often had kinda my exact own words as written at Wikipedia thrown back at me for the more obscure subjects). Delete.

Nope, the expert calls it that it's a transliteration, mark as {{
R from other language|ar}} and speedily keep withdrawn by nominator. As I say, I language check for me did not come up with Arabic but I can see that it would be. My Arabic is very rusty, shucran for calling it. It's still rather

Delete - no primary target. I'm going to opine a bit here: We honestly need to start thinking about what is relevant as far as redirs go. There's too much "it's just a different particle of speech, so we should keep it" rationales. Encyclopedias are not dictionaries, etymological or otherwise, and thus should not have every grammatical or syntactical instance of a word linked to a possibly pertinent article. Unfortunately, we are starting to do that here, because it seems to be more trouble to delete something somebody created than to think about its actual utility to the encyclopedia. The problem with "teh Interwebz" is that somebody might conceivably search for anything, but that's not a rationale to make sure they find it.

Keep as the Hindi form of her name is relevant. Now, if the India wikiproject eventually winds up being as averse to Indic-scripts redirects as it is to Indic scripts in the lead, and if they come with a policy against such redirects, then deletion will probably have to be applied to all of them (including the two hundred or so
Hindi ones). This will be a decision that's independent of this discussion here, and well beyond its lifespan.

If I wanted to search for "American singer", I would search for it (and probably get the cat as a search result). If we don't have it, we shouldn't have it as a search term. I'm starting to feel that we are trying to do everything for everyone by retargeting any potential usage of a word or title to something, when it's not really going to improve the utility of the encyclopedia. Some things need to stay, but some really do need to go.

Delete - The problem is that this is an English word derived from relatively modern Italian (see
Cesare Lombroso). There's very little usage other than in dictionaries, and the citation for Pynchon in Wiktionary pretty much makes this a
WP:NEOLOGISM (and references Lombroso anyway). Every GHit is a
WP:DICDEF, so we don't need to keep it either. — Preceding

Nope, the expert calls it that it's a transliteration, mark as {{

Delete - no primary target. I'm going to opine a bit here: We honestly need to start thinking about what is relevant as far as redirs go. There's too much "it's just a different particle of speech, so we should keep it" rationales. Encyclopedias are not dictionaries, etymological or otherwise, and thus should not have every grammatical or syntactical instance of a word linked to a possibly pertinent article. Unfortunately, we are starting to do that here, because it seems to be more trouble to delete something somebody created than to think about its actual utility to the encyclopedia. The problem with "teh Interwebz" is that somebody might conceivably search for anything, but that's not a rationale to make sure they find it.

Delete I can't find a good match for this term. Most hits, even in Google, would be partial title matches --

Delete no notable person who goes exclusively by this name. Could psych out someone typing in a search for tumblr.

"the hatred of change" isn't exclusive to
Luddites. Not mentioned at the target. Similar to
neophobia perhaps?—

Delete - I'm not sure that there is a proper target for this that wouldn't be a
WP:SURPRISE of some strong fashion. Seems best to just delete it. I wouldn't object to a soft retarget over to the Wiktionary page, though.

I wondered whether this term had any particular legs in terms of usage by reliable sources, but there seems to be
some reasonable enough mentioningof the term in print. Even if I guess I'm still down for deleting this, going over to Wiktionary does seem to also make sense.

Retarget to
Neophobia and mention there. If these aren't synonyms, they're still quite close. --

Delete - The problem is that this is an English word derived from relatively modern Italian (see
Cesare Lombroso). There's very little usage other than in dictionaries, and the citation for Pynchon in Wiktionary pretty much makes this a
WP:NEOLOGISM (and references Lombroso anyway). Every GHit is a
WP:DICDEF, so we don't need to keep it either. — Preceding

I don't mind deletion. This seems rather obscure. --

Mitt Romney presidential campaign, 2016
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.
Redirect is a misleading use of presidential campaign articles. Romney announced well before they began that he would not run in 2016, thus he was never actually a candidate and so never really had a campaign.

Delete - Redirects don't have to be NPOV or even particularly accurate, but this looks like an egregiously misleading situation. It's not really helpful and should be deleted.
