Delete – per rationale #10: the redirects could plausibly be expanded into articles [if they passed
WP:GNG], and the target articles contain virtually no information on the subject. These are non-notable football clubs being redirected to league articles which contain no information on those clubs, and will become outdated when these clubs are promoted or relegated. NB: the redirect

The problem with retargeting them to
List of football clubs in England is that they're not on that list, and can't be on it because they play at too low a level. There's no point in directing readers somewhere if that club isn't in the target article.

It was created as an article and redirected by another user, so R3 would not be within the spirit of the rules. The original article was a one-sentence dictionary definition, which roughly translates as "a person with Israeli and Russian nationality", it doesn't duplicate any existing articles (the closest is probably
Israel–Russia relations#Expatriate communities) nor can I find anything at fr.wp (although my French is limited) and there isn't an entry by this name (in either language) in either the English or French Wiktionaries, so it doesn't seem to meet any speedy deletion criteria.

Clarification: A3 notes that content in another language is still content. In this case, yes, A3 wasn't applicable because it would have been inapplicable even if the text had been in English. But being in another language doesn't exempt an article from A3 in cases where A3 would have been valid if the same text had been in English.

Revert redirect and transwiki to fr.wiktionary. We certainly don't need an article or redirect at this title, nor would this really help start an article in English (I don't know whether we need one, but I have my doubts), but as a coherent French dictionary definition it seems worthwhile offering to that project for them to do as they wish with it.
Thryduulf (
talk) 23:49, 3 February 2017 (UTC)reply
The definition of "israélo-russe" is not idiomatic and is therefore unlikely to be included in Wiktionary; see
Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion#Idiomaticity. Moreover, israélo-russe (note that the title is even spelled incorrectly) does not only apply to people, as "Personne qui est de nationalité israélienne et russe" conveys, but can indicate anything both Israeli and Russian. --
HyperGaruda (
talk) 07:49, 4 February 2017 (UTC)reply
That is the criteria for inclusion in the English Wiktionary, who would not want to receive a definition written in French. I am proposing to transwiki this to the French Wiktionary, it may or may not meet their inclusion criteria but we should let the editors there decide that. There is no requirement to accept a transwiki, it's more a request to consider something that was posted to the wrong project.
Thryduulf (
talk) 12:52, 4 February 2017 (UTC)reply
Whatever the French inclusion criteria may be (I assume they are pretty much the same), the entry as written would still be incorrect spelling- and definition-wise. --
HyperGaruda (
talk) 13:41, 4 February 2017 (UTC)reply
I can't comment about the spelling of the entry (but this can be tidied up by a French speaker if necessary), but based on google translate and my limited French the definition is correct. I don't think it is correct for the English Wikipedia to determine whether a dictionary definition of a French term written in French meets or does not meet the inclusion criteria for the French Wiktionary - especially when we don't actually know those criteria are.

Delete. According to what I can find, this is not an alternative spelling for the English term but the German (c.f.
wikt:de:Zenti-) and
Low German (c.f.

WP:FORRED this should be deleted.
Thryduulf (
talk) 15:42, 3 February 2017 (UTC)reply
WP:FORRED is an essay misrepresenting
WP:R#DELETE by not taking the overriding nature of "note also the exceptions listed below this list" into account. In either case, #8 applies only half-way, as the redirect is not "a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name", therefore the "particular" part does not really apply. --
Matthiaspaul (
talk) 00:28, 5 February 2017 (UTC)reply
Keep. As the Rcat indicates, Zenti- is an alternative spelling for Centi-, an SI prefix. As this is an international standard some readers will run into the term studying international literature. Therefore, it makes sense to redirect Zenti to Centi, so that users will find the corresponding article, when they enter it into the search box (after all, Wikipedia is an international project). This matches several of the purposes for why we should create redirects as listed in our guideline
WP:RPURPOSE:
Alternative names
Closely related words
Alternative spellings or punctuation
Likely misspellings (if you take "Zenti" as misspelling rather than spelling variant)
Also, per
WP:R#KEEP, "avoid deleting redirects if":
They would aid accidental linking and make the creation of duplicate articles less likely, whether by redirecting a plural to a singular, by redirecting a frequent misspelling to a correct spelling, by redirecting a misnomer to a correct term, by redirecting to a synonym, etc.
They aid searches on certain terms.
Someone finds them useful.
The redirect is to a closely related word form.
Since the redirect serves a good purpose in line with our editing guidelines and because it is not in the way of an article about another topic, deleting it is not beneficial to the project in any way, in fact, it would be counter-productive and a waste of precious resources (the time and energy to create it).
If it helps reaching a concensus, I could support adding the Rcat "R unprintworthy", but I can't agree with deleting this.
@
Matthiaspaul: Please add a sourced statement to
Centi- explaining "Zenti-" and any other equivalents in other languages which seem redirect-worthy. This came to my attention when I noticed that the redirect
Zenti (no hyphen), which you created in 2015, had been retargetted from
Centi- to a new stub for
Girolamo Zenti. I probably came across it while stub-sorting him. If that redirect was valuable, then we need a dab page there now (or a "redirect" hatnote one way or the other, if either the man or the abbreviation can be considered to be the Primary Topic). But dab page rules, if not redirect ones, specify that the term has to appear in the page to which the dab entry links. Add it there, sourced, and I'll happily !vote "Keep", and create the
Zenti dab page.
PamD 17:06, 8 February 2017 (UTC)reply
This book lists zenti alongside centi. If this is truly prevalent in the field, then that's an argument to keep it.----

Not sure if explicitly listing the spelling variants in the article wouldn't put undue weight on them, but here are some refs:
[8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
Regarding disambiguation, I'm fine with either hatnotes or a disambiguation page.
Reluctant delete. This is only a german spelling. A google search finds no hits other than in the German language. Note that this prefix is no different than the german "dezi-" (for deci-), "mikro-" (for micro-) or "piko-" (for pico-). I have never agreed with the position that foreign-word redirects are bad for the project but that is the current consensus and I can't see any way to distinguish this one from the many other foreign redirects that have been deleted.

Primefac (

50+ instances and counting. There should be a section. On my exploration I find 'organic dyes' are the subject of a specific textbook by
Rudolf Nietzki. if someone can write an entire textbook on them, I'm sure they deserve a little section here. What surprises me here is you'd put effort into deleting a simple redirect (what, are we short of hard drive space or something??) rather than looking for more possibilities. SURELY it is better for wikipedia to be able to give you more specific information. If it was an issue of space, these kind of redirects save space, because they allow a certain block of context to be repeated. Now I wish I made a redlink , instead of a redirect. But people seem to complain more about redlinks, which is why I took to making anchor links instead.
Fmadd (

organic dyes are clearly a noteworthy subject. I created the link because it intuitively seemed like there should be significance to the concept. Digging around, lo and behold, there was. I really dont understand why this is so controversial. Every term someone enters communicates connotations about what they're looking for.. the more words are grouped, the more specific it gets. SURELY more information is better. This is a software system, not a printed encyclopaedia, the software can use the information given to search
Fmadd (
talk) 11:53, 14 February 2017 (UTC)reply
Keep (but maybe retarget). "Unnecessary" is explicitly not a valid reason to delete a redirect. Whether or not people could type a link differently is irrelevant. Redirects exist (in part) to catch those instances where they did not. This redirect is harmless and meets none of the recommended criteria for deletion listed at the top of this page. Qualifier: I know just enough organic chemistry to believe that we could eventually have a quality article at this title. However, I don't have the expertise to start that article and the fact that we still don't have even a stub after all these years suggests that it would could be a long while still. That argues against redlinking. I'll also note that
natural dye is not exactly synonymous with "organic dye" but the concepts are similar (and more than a few websites do wrongly use those terms as synonyms). I would have no objection to retargetting until something better can be identified.
Rossami(talk) 08:06, 14 February 2017 (UTC)reply
yeah i thought so. i would have easily confused 'organic' and 'natural' and an anchor allows clarification. I tried to fill out a bit here but I'm not an expert
Dye#Organic. Part of the hope of making these redirects is "someone somewhere knows more", and further elaboration can be given. There's entire textbooks on 'organic dyes', I presume like anything else there is immense depth to discover if you look .

This redirect is wrong (the word cannot be defined in the target). It is also an orphan. As "submultiple" is used in several articles (all about
units of measurement), but never defined, it will be less confusing for the reader to delete the redirect. So, a reader searching for the word would be directed to an article using the word, instead to be sent to nowhere.
D.Lazard (

Keep. I added a description of the term at the target article. Another option would be to discuss this term at the
divisor article, if you think that is more appropriate, since the term "submultiple" and "divisor" are very closely related. In any event, this should not be deleted. --
Notecardforfree (

D.Lazard, I see that you
reverted inclusion of the term at
Multiple (mathematics). If you think it is better to direct readers to
divisor, I'm fine with that. I'm certainly not an expert on this subject, and I will defer to your good judgment. However, the term "submultiple" is a very real term (see this[1] and this[2]) that should be described somewhere in this encyclopedia. --

Comment: As far as I know, the term "submultiple" is no more in use in mathematics since more than one century. As it has been replaced by "divisor", it could be mentioned in
Divisor, in a sentence like "In some old mathematical texts, the word submultiple is used in the sense of divisor." However, the Wikipedia articles that use the term "submultiple" show that the word is still in usage for referring to
units of measurement whose names begin by deci, centi, milli, .... This seems not sufficient for a dedicated article, and I do not know where to give the definition of this meaning of "submultiple". Probably in Wiktionary?
D.Lazard (
talk) 21:53, 1 February 2017 (UTC)reply
If "submultiple" is simply an archaic word for "divisor," then I think the best solution is to include a sentence (like the one you suggested above) at the
divisor article to explain the relationship between the terms. If readers come across the word "submultiple" in an old textbook (see
this one, for example), then I think it would be most helpful to our readers to direct them to the article with information about that concept. --

The Argentine politician may not necessarily be the primary topic for this term. There are seven matches for "General Belgrano" at the

Keep Never commented on one of these, so I hope that this is done in the correct context. Historically
Manuel Belgrano as one of the founding fathers of Argentina would be the primary topic for this term - and I'm positive members of wikiproject Argentina would agree with me.

what do you mean 'implausible'. "
bicycle rider" appears many times (i went through and found them), there should be somewhere in wikipedia to point at that describes a "cyclist", or "bicycle rider". Why do 2 terms exist.. any subtle difference in connotations?

Primefac (

EH? Yes, I replaced "[bicycle] [Cycling|riders]" with "[bicycle rider]". That's more compact. The phrase 'bicycle rider' appears so many times (~20) - ( that it deserves a redirect, surely? And even if it DIDN'T exist multiple times, the existence of the redirect would be there for subsequent users to find. whats the problem with redirects??? both the articles
bicycle and
cycling go on to mention a 'cyclist' pretty quickly; with the redirect we can figure out which is more useful
Fmadd (

Keep, it's just a synonym of Cyclist and Bicyclist; we do not have an article on the topic. I would avoid links to all of these as
WP:OVERLINKs to everyday words. We have articles about
bicycle, the vehicle, and
cycling, the activity and sport, but no article specifically about the people who ride the vehicles or engage in the activity. If you've already linked to
bicycle and
cycling, then links to these redirects are redundant and should be avoided.

That just shows that "58th Presidential Inauguration" may be a good search term for the inauguration of Trump, not that it isn't an equally likely search term for the inaugurations of other presidents. Taking another number a random, the 7th, it seems from a quick google that the primary topic for that is the 2013 inauguration of
Robert Mugabe as president of Zimbabwe or the 1971 inauguration of
Park Chung-hee as president of South Korea.

This nomination might risk a rehash of Taiwan vs. Republic of China. However, past discussions at
Talk:Politics of the Republic of China, especially
the failed recent RM that I created, prove how messy the political topic is. In 2005, the move request resulted in "no consensus" to change from "Politics of Taiwan" to "Politics of the Republic of China". However, the article was renamed without discussion, and the article changed over the years. Also, the Politics of RoC article has maintenance issues. Nevertheless, the recent RM says not to rename back to "Politics of Taiwan". Maintenance issues aside, majority says that the article should be always about the de facto government, Republic of China, which originally started as the mainland Chinese government. Rather than re-propose the same thing, I instead propose that the redirect be retargeted to
History of Taiwan. That "History of" page has details about politics inside the
Taiwan island and political and regime changes of the island. Some might say that the island has "no politics". However, the island has history, especially of politics, and the proposal is something that I can come up with. I know the proposal seems ridiculous, but I believe this would work okay.

Also noting that in this context, cementery isn't that implausible as a typo: the Polish word for "cemetery" is cmentarz. –

Delete with an attribution notice. I don't think the entry should be mentioned at
List of cemeteries in Poland. It seems like it's only of trivial interest: What's the smallest 'cemetery' in Poland?!? If there's consensus to remove the entry (which I'd be in favor of), there's a

It was created as an article and redirected by another user, so R3 would not be within the spirit of the rules. The original article was a one-sentence dictionary definition, which roughly translates as "a person with Israeli and Russian nationality", it doesn't duplicate any existing articles (the closest is probably
Israel–Russia relations#Expatriate communities) nor can I find anything at fr.wp (although my French is limited) and there isn't an entry by this name (in either language) in either the English or French Wiktionaries, so it doesn't seem to meet any speedy deletion criteria.

Clarification: A3 notes that content in another language is still content. In this case, yes, A3 wasn't applicable because it would have been inapplicable even if the text had been in English. But being in another language doesn't exempt an article from A3 in cases where A3 would have been valid if the same text had been in English.

Revert redirect and transwiki to fr.wiktionary. We certainly don't need an article or redirect at this title, nor would this really help start an article in English (I don't know whether we need one, but I have my doubts), but as a coherent French dictionary definition it seems worthwhile offering to that project for them to do as they wish with it.
Thryduulf (
talk) 23:49, 3 February 2017 (UTC)reply
The definition of "israélo-russe" is not idiomatic and is therefore unlikely to be included in Wiktionary; see
Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion#Idiomaticity. Moreover, israélo-russe (note that the title is even spelled incorrectly) does not only apply to people, as "Personne qui est de nationalité israélienne et russe" conveys, but can indicate anything both Israeli and Russian. --
HyperGaruda (
talk) 07:49, 4 February 2017 (UTC)reply
That is the criteria for inclusion in the English Wiktionary, who would not want to receive a definition written in French. I am proposing to transwiki this to the French Wiktionary, it may or may not meet their inclusion criteria but we should let the editors there decide that. There is no requirement to accept a transwiki, it's more a request to consider something that was posted to the wrong project.
Thryduulf (

Whatever the French inclusion criteria may be (I assume they are pretty much the same), the entry as written would still be incorrect spelling- and definition-wise. --
HyperGaruda (

I can't comment about the spelling of the entry (but this can be tidied up by a French speaker if necessary), but based on google translate and my limited French the definition is correct. I don't think it is correct for the English Wikipedia to determine whether a dictionary definition of a French term written in French meets or does not meet the inclusion criteria for the French Wiktionary - especially when we don't actually know those criteria are.

Matthiaspaul (
talk) 00:28, 5 February 2017 (UTC)reply
Keep. As the Rcat indicates, Zenti- is an alternative spelling for Centi-, an SI prefix. As this is an international standard some readers will run into the term studying international literature. Therefore, it makes sense to redirect Zenti to Centi, so that users will find the corresponding article, when they enter it into the search box (after all, Wikipedia is an international project). This matches several of the purposes for why we should create redirects as listed in our guideline
WP:RPURPOSE:
Alternative names
Closely related words
Alternative spellings or punctuation
Likely misspellings (if you take "Zenti" as misspelling rather than spelling variant)
Also, per
WP:R#KEEP, "avoid deleting redirects if":
They would aid accidental linking and make the creation of duplicate articles less likely, whether by redirecting a plural to a singular, by redirecting a frequent misspelling to a correct spelling, by redirecting a misnomer to a correct term, by redirecting to a synonym, etc.
They aid searches on certain terms.
Someone finds them useful.
The redirect is to a closely related word form.
Since the redirect serves a good purpose in line with our editing guidelines and because it is not in the way of an article about another topic, deleting it is not beneficial to the project in any way, in fact, it would be counter-productive and a waste of precious resources (the time and energy to create it).
If it helps reaching a concensus, I could support adding the Rcat "R unprintworthy", but I can't agree with deleting this.
@
Matthiaspaul: Please add a sourced statement to
Centi- explaining "Zenti-" and any other equivalents in other languages which seem redirect-worthy. This came to my attention when I noticed that the redirect
Zenti (no hyphen), which you created in 2015, had been retargetted from
Centi- to a new stub for
Girolamo Zenti. I probably came across it while stub-sorting him. If that redirect was valuable, then we need a dab page there now (or a "redirect" hatnote one way or the other, if either the man or the abbreviation can be considered to be the Primary Topic). But dab page rules, if not redirect ones, specify that the term has to appear in the page to which the dab entry links. Add it there, sourced, and I'll happily !vote "Keep", and create the
Zenti dab page.
PamD 17:06, 8 February 2017 (UTC)reply
This book lists zenti alongside centi. If this is truly prevalent in the field, then that's an argument to keep it.----
Patar knight - chat/contributions 17:13, 8 February 2017 (UTC)reply
Not sure if explicitly listing the spelling variants in the article wouldn't put undue weight on them, but here are some refs:
[8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
Regarding disambiguation, I'm fine with either hatnotes or a disambiguation page.
Reluctant delete. This is only a german spelling. A google search finds no hits other than in the German language. Note that this prefix is no different than the german "dezi-" (for deci-), "mikro-" (for micro-) or "piko-" (for pico-). I have never agreed with the position that foreign-word redirects are bad for the project but that is the current consensus and I can't see any way to distinguish this one from the many other foreign redirects that have been deleted.

50+ instances and counting. There should be a section. On my exploration I find 'organic dyes' are the subject of a specific textbook by
Rudolf Nietzki. if someone can write an entire textbook on them, I'm sure they deserve a little section here. What surprises me here is you'd put effort into deleting a simple redirect (what, are we short of hard drive space or something??) rather than looking for more possibilities. SURELY it is better for wikipedia to be able to give you more specific information. If it was an issue of space, these kind of redirects save space, because they allow a certain block of context to be repeated. Now I wish I made a redlink , instead of a redirect. But people seem to complain more about redlinks, which is why I took to making anchor links instead.

organic dyes are clearly a noteworthy subject. I created the link because it intuitively seemed like there should be significance to the concept. Digging around, lo and behold, there was. I really dont understand why this is so controversial. Every term someone enters communicates connotations about what they're looking for.. the more words are grouped, the more specific it gets. SURELY more information is better. This is a software system, not a printed encyclopaedia, the software can use the information given to search
Fmadd (
talk) 11:53, 14 February 2017 (UTC)reply
Keep (but maybe retarget). "Unnecessary" is explicitly not a valid reason to delete a redirect. Whether or not people could type a link differently is irrelevant. Redirects exist (in part) to catch those instances where they did not. This redirect is harmless and meets none of the recommended criteria for deletion listed at the top of this page. Qualifier: I know just enough organic chemistry to believe that we could eventually have a quality article at this title. However, I don't have the expertise to start that article and the fact that we still don't have even a stub after all these years suggests that it would could be a long while still. That argues against redlinking. I'll also note that
natural dye is not exactly synonymous with "organic dye" but the concepts are similar (and more than a few websites do wrongly use those terms as synonyms). I would have no objection to retargetting until something better can be identified.
Rossami(talk) 08:06, 14 February 2017 (UTC)reply
yeah i thought so. i would have easily confused 'organic' and 'natural' and an anchor allows clarification. I tried to fill out a bit here but I'm not an expert
Dye#Organic. Part of the hope of making these redirects is "someone somewhere knows more", and further elaboration can be given. There's entire textbooks on 'organic dyes', I presume like anything else there is immense depth to discover if you look .

This redirect is wrong (the word cannot be defined in the target). It is also an orphan. As "submultiple" is used in several articles (all about
units of measurement), but never defined, it will be less confusing for the reader to delete the redirect. So, a reader searching for the word would be directed to an article using the word, instead to be sent to nowhere.

Keep. I added a description of the term at the target article. Another option would be to discuss this term at the

D.Lazard, I see that you
reverted inclusion of the term at
Multiple (mathematics). If you think it is better to direct readers to
divisor, I'm fine with that. I'm certainly not an expert on this subject, and I will defer to your good judgment. However, the term "submultiple" is a very real term (see this[1] and this[2]) that should be described somewhere in this encyclopedia. --

Comment: As far as I know, the term "submultiple" is no more in use in mathematics since more than one century. As it has been replaced by "divisor", it could be mentioned in
Divisor, in a sentence like "In some old mathematical texts, the word submultiple is used in the sense of divisor." However, the Wikipedia articles that use the term "submultiple" show that the word is still in usage for referring to
units of measurement whose names begin by deci, centi, milli, .... This seems not sufficient for a dedicated article, and I do not know where to give the definition of this meaning of "submultiple". Probably in Wiktionary?
D.Lazard (
talk) 21:53, 1 February 2017 (UTC)reply
If "submultiple" is simply an archaic word for "divisor," then I think the best solution is to include a sentence (like the one you suggested above) at the
divisor article to explain the relationship between the terms. If readers come across the word "submultiple" in an old textbook (see
this one, for example), then I think it would be most helpful to our readers to direct them to the article with information about that concept. --

Delete. This is a blatant failure of
WP:WORLDWIDE. It's highly misleading to imply that the United States is the only country to have Presidential inaugurations. Several other countries have Presidents, and those Presidents get inaugurated too. Similar terms like
1st president are red for good reason. It's also important to note that most articles don't even mention what "inauguration number" it is. --

Delete all. There are just too many possible targets for these, e.g. "Second presidential inauguration" could refer to the second inauguration of any given president or the inauguration of the second president of any country that has had at least that many presidents.

Comment: This is interesting. Note the capitalisation, I was not trying to undermine
WP:WORLDWIDE at all. The inauguration of Trump was officially billed as the "58th Presidential Inauguration", see
here and
here (and
58th Inauguration). I just presumed the others were billed as such also.--
Nevé–selbert 04:03, 28 January 2017 (UTC)reply
That just shows that "58th Presidential Inauguration" may be a good search term for the inauguration of Trump, not that it isn't an equally likely search term for the inaugurations of other presidents. Taking another number a random, the 7th, it seems from a quick google that the primary topic for that is the 2013 inauguration of
Robert Mugabe as president of Zimbabwe or the 1971 inauguration of
Park Chung-hee as president of South Korea.

Tavix(

Delete. It looks like many (though not all) of the phone number redirects that are tagged as {{R from phone number}} are phone numbers that are used in some sort of advertising scheme or are phone numbers that are closely associated with a brand name (see, e.g.
1-800-GOT-JUNK →
1-800-GOT-JUNK? and
1-800-CALL-ATT →
AT&T). I am hesitant to create precedent where we allow any phone number to become a redirect, as I think that would violate
WP:NOTDIRECTORY. For those reasons, I am voting to delete these. --

Keep these have been in the recent news, but these are pretty old redirects (created 2007 or 2011) that might be worth salting. It doesn't matter if they are in use or not if they have been historically connected to the white house. There are books that cover the history of appliances and stuff installed in the White House, like the first phone number being "1", the first flush toilet, and first refrigerator

This nomination might risk a rehash of Taiwan vs. Republic of China. However, past discussions at
Talk:Politics of the Republic of China, especially
the failed recent RM that I created, prove how messy the political topic is. In 2005, the move request resulted in "no consensus" to change from "Politics of Taiwan" to "Politics of the Republic of China". However, the article was renamed without discussion, and the article changed over the years. Also, the Politics of RoC article has maintenance issues. Nevertheless, the recent RM says not to rename back to "Politics of Taiwan". Maintenance issues aside, majority says that the article should be always about the de facto government, Republic of China, which originally started as the mainland Chinese government. Rather than re-propose the same thing, I instead propose that the redirect be retargeted to
History of Taiwan. That "History of" page has details about politics inside the
Taiwan island and political and regime changes of the island. Some might say that the island has "no politics". However, the island has history, especially of politics, and the proposal is something that I can come up with. I know the proposal seems ridiculous, but I believe this would work okay.

Strong keep Anyone searching for any of those three terms will almost always be looking for the information contained on
