- Keep "univ" in this case must mean universe. Eli355 ( talk) 14:02, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. In fact, Univ targets University College, Oxford, and the target of this redirect is not about heat death(s) in the aforementioned article's subject. Steel1943 ( talk) 19:29, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
- Delete – implausible typographical error. “Univ” is not an abbreviation of “universe.” Interqwark talk contribs 03:52, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was retarget to Ex officio member. -- Tavix ( talk) 16:56, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

- Ex-Officio → List of Latin phrases (E)#ex officio ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Should this redirect be retargeted to the article ex officio member instead of redirecting to List of Latin phrases, a Wiktionary-stye list? The ex officio member article covers most encyclopedic uses of the term. With this request, I include other variants such as ex-officio and ex-Officio. (I have no strong opinion on this myself but would appreciate discussion.) — AjaxSmack 15:51, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
- Note I've added those other redirects to the nomination and tagged them, as is required. I'm still thinking about whether I support the proposal. Thryduulf ( talk) 17:36, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
- Comment It's worth noting that ex-officio has been an article twice in its history stubby, mainly definition in 2006 and US-centric stub in 2008. Thryduulf ( talk) 17:42, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

This is remnant of Neelix redirects. He first redirected it (of course, incorrectly) to Sanction (law) where it wasn't mentioned at all and just doesn't belong. I became aware of it after someone changed the redirect to more appropriate target, State-sanctioned crime but unfortunately redlink, and probably will remain redlink since only DICDEF can be written about that. – Ammarpad ( talk) 07:26, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

No place name after the comma, an unusable redirect B dash ( talk) 15:26, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. For some reason this is getting a huge number of hits - 40 in the last month, 228 this year. It's unquestionably getting people to the right target, even if it seems implausible. It has no incomming links on Wikipedia unrelated to this RfD so its seems likely that the views are coming from somewhere external, especially as the pattern of traffic doesn't correlate with either Las Palmas de Gran Canaria or Las Palmas (which correlate with each other very well) further suggesting the internal search engine isn't the source of most traffic. Dr. Blofeld isn't in the habit of creating spurious redirects either so there is probably some story behind this. The bottom line is that it's both harmless and useful so it should be kept per WP:CHEAP. Thryduulf ( talk) 16:43, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
- The only reason it's attracting hits is because it shows up in the search options. I'm sure the version without comma would show up instead. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 19:14, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. -- Tavix ( talk) 17:20, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. For reference, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria - the version without the comma - is a redirect and targets the same target as this nominated redirect. Steel1943 ( talk) 17:28, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
- Delete useless comma, unless the a is supposed to have a cedilla, or it's a particular stylization, but I don't think that's the case. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 19:16, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
- Weak delete. I think this is getting 40 hits because we're polluting search results with the spurious comma. When you type "las palmas d" into the search box, this title with the extra comma starts turning up in autocomplete. Sure it may be useful, but I would argue that the utility of coping with a fat-finger comma isn't worth the downsides of polluting autocomplete. Deryck C. 12:53, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

implausible redirect Jon Kolbert ( talk) 02:12, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
- Delete agree with nominator. The creator has redirected a number of pages without vandalism - this one just seems to be a miss. Note the UrbanDictionary definition which pops up first - not the best web search. SportingFlyer talk 21:30, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

Mostly Eubot. First, it's Chinese, not German. Second, for most of them, Ü is treated as both U and ue, making the "umlaut" rules inconsistent. HotdogPi 00:32, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
- Comment. The "umlaut" rules aren't inconsistent. Spelled without diacritics "ü" becomes "u", but the official transliteration of the umlaut "ü" is "ue". We usually have redirects for both of them and also have two differernt types of Rcats for them. --

- Pinyin doesn't use German umlaut rules. Also, U never becomes both U and UE within the same word, which is the case for 5 of the 7 redirects nominated. HotdogPi 01:05, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
- Delete at least the Uruemqi ones as being inconsistent, it's not a word that really exists. I could see someone (probably a bot?) using Ueruemqi through a transliteration. SportingFlyer talk 01:43, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
- Delete the ones beginning with "Urue", keep the ones that are consistent. The fact that this is a valid way of handling umlats (in any language) means people will search them. I for one didn't know the rules varied by language and assumed ü→ue applied to all of them. — Compassionate727 ( T· C) 13:37, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
- Delete the inconsistent ones per long precedent. Weak keep the consistent ones per Compassionate727. Thryduulf ( talk) 09:23, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
- Delete all, this is not a Germanic language, so Germanic umlaut rules do not apply. However, I am willing to be convinced otherwise with sources. -- Tavix ( talk) 16:36, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
