I am in two minds about this one. The first is it is at the target and should be {{
R to section}}
} but that secion no longer exists, but it is at the target. This is a neelix redirect that I am coming so learn well that
George Orwell called
C. S. Lewis a
catholic apologist and I am not so sure that this is as neutral as it first seems. I am just
C of E which means I don't have to believe in anything. See also
Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 May 8#Straik i managed to miss by twenty minutes combinging these onto one day's listing but they are essentally the same listing and if another editor wishes to combine I have no problem with that.

Delete. (Neelix redirect)., THis is not at the target. It might have been at one time because I can do a bit of ancient Greek when push comes to shove, but it isn't now so this is WP:RFD#D2 confusing but not confident enough to take it to CSD. Si Trew ( talk) 23:16, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
(neelix redirect). I think this is rather ambiguous, the target is a DAB at which people who play poker for money lay a stake, but I amn gambling on this beiing WP:XY and probably delete. Stake is a DAB too at which poker stake is mentioned, but this is a conmmon British term for the money put down for a bet Si Trew ( talk) 23:05, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
(neelix redirect) Not sure on this one. My first thought was for Beta blockers but the target, A DAB, does not mention those. it could be WP:XY I guess Si Trew ( talk) 22:32, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
Not sure about this (neelix redirect). I would suggest if it goes anywhere it goes to conservatism but that may be a bit too political for Wikipedia, not the target but to redirect it thus. Si Trew ( talk) 22:28, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
(neelix redirect) This kinda makes sense because the target is a noun and this would just be the common plural of it. But I am not sure it is what people would expect to find. I know what it is because I know everything, but I am not sure other intelligent but ignorant readers would Si Trew ( talk) 22:25, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

This doesn't seem to be the only tree known as mock orange. I've seen Osage Orange called that as well, and there are probably several others. user:Plantdrew, would a disambiguation page be appropriate? Or maybe redirect to an existing disambiguation page? Oiyarbepsy ( talk) 20:31, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
I was about to say calling Plantdrew but my cache must be well out of date. User:Peter coxhead may have something to say too. I will be an intelligent but ignorant reader when I give you my opinion. Si Trew ( talk) 20:55, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
{{
R from superlfluous diambiguation}}
or whatever I forget to the DAB at
Mock Orange which lists several species/genera? To be honest as an intelligent but ignorant reader I was expecting it to be a paint colour like
Magnolia. Does that make any sense
User:Plantdrew)?

I'm well aware what palming is as I do it a lot myself as a joke (I am quite good at it) but I wondered whether this is really a good place to put palmed or whether this is WP:XY. There are lots of other things that can be palmed, palms for example. I am probably wrong on this but I am not confident to take it straight to CSD WP:G6 neelix concession, if in doubt give RfD a shout Si Trew ( talk) 19:55, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
(neelix redirect) There are lots of these. I boldly labelled some as {{
R from verb}}
etc but can we have it without the hyphen is that legit? There is
Crossdressed and so on. No problem with
cross-dressed (another Neelix) I will mark that as R from verb but I am just wondering if it is valid without the hyphen consindering that the target always uses the hyphen.

(neelix redirect) while patently a valid word I am not sure that this is really a kinda well it can be {{
R from adjective}}
but dunno. We all know what it means but does it make any sense to redirect it simply to wealth? I dunno
Si Trew (
talk) 19:46, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
(Neelix redirect) We have Affluence I think so I am not sure on this one. Affluences would not really be a word I think, You can't say I affluence, he affluences, and surely affluence is a concept noun that you can't pluralize like that. But not 100% sure, I imagine that in some paper people wrote of James Goldsmith and Warren Buffet "their individual affluences amounted to..." or some such. Is it a word? Si Trew ( talk) 19:41, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
Declined at CSD by User:Hullaballoo Wolfowitz with the explanation "another content issue dressed up as a speedy nom". I must admit I don't understand the explanation of that decline because it is nothing to do with a content issue but a WP:G6 neelix concession redirect under WP:G6 neelix concession as any admin at CSD knows full well. No problem with the content, it is the redirect there is a problem with, so I don't see where content comes into it. I imagine the admin User:Hullaballoo Wolfowitz will be happy to explain at RfD why it is a content issue. Si Trew ( talk) 19:27, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
(Neelix redirect) Not sure about this one. There are lots of others to Francis Allen and Frances Allen and so on that neelix made, some of which I have taken to CSD and others of which I have taken as {{
R from misspelling}}
. (Note we have I think articles for
Francis Alan and
Frances Alan or something, so these are already going to be a bit confusing, I am taking the line of reasoning thus, that Frances is a woman and Francis is a bloke, and I don't mind a misspelling but since this is kinda two mispellings in one should probably go. Target is a DAB.)

Keep SimonTrew, your nomination is partially misleading, you have linked to articles you 'think' we have for Francis Alan and Frances Alan, but a quick click shows the first is a redirect to Francis Allen dab and the second is actually the title you're nominating. You might want to strike that part of your nomination. Boleyn ( talk) 08:35, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
I think you also need to strike out your last sentence about it being 'kinda two misspellings', it is one. This is a redirect from Frances Alan to Frances Allen, the first names are exactly the same, both the female version, and the surname is a slightly different spelling but exact same pronunciation. The dab also gives a link to the male version of the name, which would help readers. I'm not seeing any problem here that deletion could solve. Boleyn ( talk) 08:50, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
No problem at all, SimonTrew, thanks for your hard work. Boleyn ( talk) 19:39, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
This is a neelix creation. While in the lede as a translation although not marked as such, it doesn't really say much to an English speaking audience I think. THere is also Rain cakes which if I forget to combine is by same reason. I think this is nonsense in English. Si Trew ( talk) 05:04, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
{{
R from original language|pt}}

Rain cakes which is the same reason.

Delete if Plantdrew says so it must be true because that user knows his or her taxonomy better than I do or almost anyone else here at RfD, pinging User:Peter coxhead for a final check. Nothing to do with campanula as the nice flowers/plants in the garden. I think this can be WP:SNOW. Si Trew ( talk) 23:10, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

(neelix redirect) THis is a bit weird. I have no idea why Neelix created it but a woman benefactor who gives some money to something is a benefatrice or benefatrix depending on whether it comes straight from Latin of via French as any fule kno. Listing here because it seems nonsense to me but there might be a reason for it. Have done about fifty on the Neelix list tonight Si Trew ( talk) 00:08, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
