Weak delete (Neelix redirect). I've rcatted others (for keeps) such as
Rabbi James Wax as {{
R to section}}
, and put a courtesy note per
WP:RSECT at the target, but usually a rabbi's style includes his first name, doesn't it?
Honorifics_in_Judaism#Rabbi is silent on the matter, as is
Rabbi (as far as I could find). That being said, it does no harm... but without it one would find the chap anyway. No links, three hits in ninety days.

(Neelix redirects) Weak delete all. The target does not distinguish between North Korean and South Korean photographers, even in section
List of Korean photographers#the second half of 20th century and thereafter, and in fact only one photographer in the whole article is linked (which is OK for a list although perhaps not very enlightening). I'm tempted to think these are
WP:RFD#D2 confusing per
WP:SURPRISE since they imply we have some info about specifically North Korean or South Korean photographers when in reality we don't. I can see that "North Korean" and "South Korean" are search terms perhaps as likely as, or more like than, just plain "Korean", though... but I doubt their absence would make the target harder to find, especially as we also have
Korean photographer and
Korean photographers to the same target, also by Neelix at the same time which I will keep as {{
R from list topic}}
, so these are just the usual Neelix
combinatorial explosion.
The 30-day stats are 0 for the first four, 2 and 3 for the "list of north" and "list of south" respectively. No incoming links for any of the first four, the last two have links from other lists, via the transclusion of the navbox factory at {{
Asian topic|List of|photographers}}
. So there's a weak case to keep the last two to keep the navbox happy... but the other four I think can surely go.

Delete all (neelix redirects): A bit like the ones below, bnut not enough for me to want to make them into one bunch. A protein being being misfolded is not the same as it being incorrectly folded, in the sense meant by biochemists or molecular modellers (I was one) working on protein folding problems. There are more general ones like
misfold but they are just
WP:SURPRISE and will list separately.

- Keep
Misfolding proteins and
Misfolded proteins as these are sensible phrases and likely search terms (the latter receives 40 hits a month, the former only one, but it's a phrase that
turns up in reliable places). Delete the "misfolder" ones as clear nonsense. Unsure about
Misfolds proteins as it's somewhat unlikely (
only 5 hits on google scholar) and I can't imagine anyone ever typing that into a search box, but that's a conceivable phrase an editor might want to link to within running text – although I' not sure such a thin possibility is worth the
cost (no matter how small) of having the redirect. An alternative target could be
Proteopathy, but that's already linked in a "main article" note at the current target, and the text at the current target seems a bit more up to the point.

- Weak keep I agree that the current redirect is a bit too specific, but if the section
Incorrect protein folding and neurodegenerative disease were renamed to
Misfolding and disease then the redirect would make more sense. Misfolding is not only important in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases but also a wide range of other diseases (see
Proteopathy).

Boghog: I like the idea of renaming the section (although we should keep an anchor for the current section name because of the many Neelix redirect to this section, not just these ones). But would perhaps
Proteopathy make a better target? Protein misfolding is right there in bold in the lede...
Si Trew (

21:38, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
reply
- Keep all but retarget: I think all of these redirects are plausible terms to use in biochemistry / protein-related articles &ndsah; for example, here is an issue of Nature insight dedicated to
misfolding. I suggest targeting just at
protein folding, however, as I can see the intention being something other than disease – though it is true that disease-related contexts are common. As one example, laboratory synthesis of proteins
de novo (wow, that is an article that needs a lot of work), for example, is an area where misfolding is a serious difficulty and unconnected (at least directly) to disease. As another example, I recently wrote the biography of Colin Raston and in
this section described his work on unboiling an egg, for which he won an Ig Nobel prize. Boiling an egg denatures the protein in the white by disrupting the folding away from the natural form with the individual strands then aggregating. The technology he jointly developed (currently without an article, but it will someday be as
vortex fluidic technology) allows the strands to be separated and then re-folded from the misfolded form to the native form. Though I did not use any variant on the word "misfold", the technology allows correction of misfolding under certain circumstances as is nothing to do with disease, and I can easily see using some of the above redirects in the context of such articles. Templates on the redirects as Si Trew suggests would be appropriate. (I came here following a request from comment at
WT:CHEMISTRY, FYI.)

Misfolded protein was created by

Protein folding) by Neelix on 23 November 2010; the others are Neelix creations pure and simple, the usual
combinatorial explosion, on the same date.

- Keep and retarget misfolded protein and incorrect folding, these strike me as plausible search terms, though I would target them to
protein folding for the reasons outlined above. Delete misfolders as implausible and weird, maybe this could be a term for an enzyme which was catalysing selectively for misfold outcomes but I don't know of any such enzyme. Weak Delete misfold proteins as I think it is much less plausible than misfolded protein, but it's not absurd.

- Delete all, per nom. "Leaflesstongue" is utter nonsense. Nobody who hears "leafless tongue orchid" in a spoken context would think that the leaflesstongue is a single word (that situation with "largetongue orchid" is a little more plausible; tongues might be large or small, but they are never leaved). These space/hyphen variants don't appear on the web outside of Wikipedia (or in books), and nobody who sees it in a written context is going to search for anything for anything other than how they saw it written.
Leafless Tongue-orchid does appear in written contexts, and might be a useful redirect, but anybody searching for that string will get to the article anyway via
leafless tongue orchid (Wikipedia search now handles spaces/hyphens and upper/lowercase as equivalent characters, as do most search engines). "Leafless-tongue" doesn't appear outside of Wikipedia, and the hyphen is ignored by searches. "Leaflesstongue" doesn't appear outside of Wikipedia, and is a typo at best.

Deletion. Unnecessary redirect: the creator of this redirect has misconceived the old German script "k" printed on old style confectionery tins in
Fraktur for being a "t".

Delete this redirect. There is another, nearly identical redirect, "Military of Switzerland" (notice the capitalization of the "S") that redirects to the same article. Because Wikipedia does not take capitalization into account when searching, this redirect is not needed. Also, the fact that the "s" is lowercase in this redirect is very annoying for me, and presumably others as well. --

- Weak keep as
{{
R from incorrect capitalization}}
and {{
R avoided double redirect|Military of Switzerland}}
, There's no incoming links and stats are usually at noise level, but it's pretty ancient (26 May 2007) and I'll rcat it as {{
R with history}}
: the target seems to have moved a couple of times from
Military of Switzerland to
Swiss Armed Forces and back again, leaving this at times as a double redirect.

- Pedantic, but I don't think this is a good candidate for {{
R avoided double redirect}}. It doesn't look like we'd ever expect to see separate "Military of Switzerland" and "Swiss Armed Forces" articles. --

- Keep - This looks like a textbook case of
{{
R from incorrect capitalization}}
, yes, and such redirects are often at least somewhat helpful. I would retain this as well.
