Does not exist (seems like a hoax) and not mentioned in it's targeted article (The Sims Unleashed is, which is an expansion pack for The Sims 1 and unrelated to the subject of this redirect). Jovanmilic97 ( talk) 20:47, 2 August 2019 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was retarget. -- BDD ( talk) 03:45, 15 August 2019 (UTC) reply

Not actually a synonym, not mentioned in the target or the linked frWiki article. An online search returns in-home mobility devices for those with disabilities (classified as aides de chambre a coucher). I would suggest either redirecting to Valet de chambre (a target semantically closer to the search term than aide-de-camp) or deleting the redirect. signed, Rosguill talk 20:03, 2 August 2019 (UTC) reply

Missing article, either mistake or lazy typing. Not a box we should leave open. — the Man in Question (in question) 04:08, 19 July 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Unlikely typo. Delete. -- Dweller ( talk) Become old fashioned! 09:35, 19 July 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. This is a well used redirect (134 hits last year) with a single unambiguous target. Our job is to enable readers to find the content they are looking for, not to impose arbitrary rules and standards that make it unnecessarily harder. Thryduulf ( talk) 11:20, 19 July 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: per Thryduulf's stats. Also, redirect was intentional. p b p 11:42, 19 July 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per nom, since typing in "Catherine great" will show the article as the first hit in Wikipedia search even if the redirect didn't exist. Therefore, it is not necessary to lead people to the article. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 11:45, 19 July 2019 (UTC) reply
    It is always preferable to take people directly to the article than to force them to navigate via the search engine (which is sometimes several clicks away depending on how they navigated), requires unnecessary page loads (more data = more cost for many), and is not guaranteed to produce the correct result - the presence of this redirect is why the target is presently number 1 in the results. Thryduulf ( talk) 11:50, 19 July 2019 (UTC) reply
    I do not exactly agree with this philosophy. If that were the general Wikipedia guideline, then there would be no WP:FORRED. I think that structure and continuity (though not rigidity and unchangeability) make Wikipedia more effective. Wikipedia, like anything, is something you learn how to use well. If you type in "alexander great", the first option in the search results is of course Alexander the Great. If you type in "alexander the grat", Alexander the Great will not show up in the search results at all. People will see they've made a typo and fix it. Simple as that. The same goes for catherine great or anything else like that. Just because someone might type something in, that doesn't mean it should be a redirect, even if it's clear what they meant (again, compare WP:FORRED). — the Man in Question (in question) 08:15, 20 July 2019 (UTC) reply
    FORRED has almost nothing to do with "what people might type in" it's a combination of homographs - the same sequence of characters meaning completely different things in different languages (e.g. "tant" has meanings including, " tact, so much, doctrine, so, tooth, old lady, power, aunt and string (music)".) and even when they are unique we don't want to give the impression that we have information about a thing in a language when we do not. Wikipedia is not something you should have to learn how to use - we are a general purpose encyclopaedia whose aim is to make knowledge freely accessible to the world. Erecting unnecessary barriers to that knowledge is directly contrary to the entire purpose of the project. We can't cater to most typos, because they are often ambiguous and would unnecessarily hinder other searches, but we do have redirects for the most common because that fulfils our goal of increasing access to knowledge.

  • Weak keep: as mentioned by ZXCVBNM, the intended article already shows up in the dropdown box, so the main difference this redirect makes is that you can type "Catherine great" then press Enter. Without the redirect, you would have to press "Down+Enter" or click on it with the mouse button to avoid going into Special:Search. However, this does seem like a likely term that someone would type in out of convenience. – Sonicwave talk 00:56, 3 August 2019 (UTC) reply

What a strange phrase to make a redirect of. Drmies ( talk) 18:24, 18 July 2019 (UTC) reply

You are the same one who keeps complaining about every my redirect, when my redirects are correct. Either you don't pay attention to the logos and the Wikipedia slogan "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit", or your IQ is 25. Barracuda41 ( talk) 18:28, 18 July 2019 (UTC) reply
Explain why. Because Wikipedia's main page slogan IS "The Free Encyclopedia that Anyone Can Edit", just go click on the Wikipedia logo at the top left and read it. Barracuda41 ( talk) 18:56, 18 July 2019 (UTC) reply
The phrase in the logo is just "The Free Encyclopedia", without any mention of editing, and I don't think slogans are good redirects unless they are themselves notable.– John M Wolfson ( talkcontribs) 20:21, 18 July 2019 (UTC) reply
On the MAIN PAGE, it calls it the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Click on the Wikipedia logo on the top left, then read the top of the main page. Or go to here: Main Page and read it. Barracuda41 ( talk) 20:26, 18 July 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, Barracuda41 is right, this is an upper-casing of the slogan of the encyclopedia. Since I can see no reason to delete the upper casing of the sites slogan, all that's left is to toss a "keep" its way, and hope that common sense is enough to carry this one (and is there a reason to delete it?). Randy Kryn ( talk) 19:04, 18 July 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per nom, you're already on Wikipedia so I'm not sure what more is gained from typing in Wikipedia's motto. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 05:48, 19 July 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep an extremely plausible search term for Wikipedia. Remember that using the internal search engine is far from the only method to navigate to Wikipedia content. Some people may also be looking for content specifically about the openess to edit, we don't have a specific section on that as it is spread through the article. Thryduulf ( talk) 11:43, 19 July 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. It is the classic Wikipedia line. I'm not sure it's so well known anymore, but I would think any brief slogan meaningfully associated with a company or organization of note is probably a worthy redirect; I would normally raise an eyebrow at capitalization, but since the first half of the phrase appears capitalized in the upper left, I demur. — the Man in Question (in question) 22:01, 19 July 2019 (UTC) reply

WikipediA, The Free Encyclopedia

The result of the discussion was no consensus. -- BDD ( talk) 03:33, 15 August 2019 (UTC) reply

I'm sorry, but how is this a useful redirect, with its capital A, and subsequent appositive? Drmies ( talk) 18:24, 18 July 2019 (UTC) reply

For god's sake, the Wikipedia logo has the first and last letters big! Do you even pay attention to Wikipedia logo at the top left? Barracuda41 ( talk) 18:28, 18 July 2019 (UTC) reply
That's not enough. Wikipedia's logo is "WikipediA" as it is in the top left of every Wikipedia page you are on. Barracuda41 ( talk) 18:56, 18 July 2019 (UTC) reply
You know what the problem might be? The skin. I use monobook (and can't understand why everyone doesn't), which still has the traditional Wikipedia logo ball and slogan at the top left. But I don't think or actually know if some or the other skins have the ball or the slogan. I'm not going to look right now, and like monobook just fine. If they've lost them in other skins then the day that happened was a sad day for Wikipedia (or, as some purists may call it, WikipediA). Randy Kryn ( talk) 19:24, 18 July 2019 (UTC) reply
[Personal attack removed] Why did you write a cuss word on Wikipedia? What was your point of that? [Personal attack removed] How could you report two innocent redirects, then cuss at a valid point I made about [personal attack removed] you? [Personal attack removed]. [Personal attack removed].

Milan has many churches, this is way too vague. Given the amount of work required to create a good disambiguation for this, and the total lack of use for this redirect, I think it's best of deleted. signed, Rosguill talk 15:13, 18 July 2019 (UTC) reply

I'm not sure it's so well known anymore, but I would think any brief slogan meaningfully associated with a company or organization of note is probably a worthy redirect; I would normally raise an eyebrow at capitalization, but since the first half of the phrase appears capitalized in the upper left, I demur. — the Man in Question (in question) 22:01, 19 July 2019 (UTC) reply

I'm sorry, but how is this a useful redirect, with its capital A, and subsequent appositive? Drmies ( talk) 18:24, 18 July 2019 (UTC) reply

For god's sake, the Wikipedia logo has the first and last letters big! Do you even pay attention to Wikipedia logo at the top left? Barracuda41 ( talk) 18:28, 18 July 2019 (UTC) reply
That's not enough. Wikipedia's logo is "WikipediA" as it is in the top left of every Wikipedia page you are on. Barracuda41 ( talk) 18:56, 18 July 2019 (UTC) reply
You know what the problem might be? The skin. I use monobook (and can't understand why everyone doesn't), which still has the traditional Wikipedia logo ball and slogan at the top left. But I don't think or actually know if some or the other skins have the ball or the slogan. I'm not going to look right now, and like monobook just fine. If they've lost them in other skins then the day that happened was a sad day for Wikipedia (or, as some purists may call it, WikipediA). Randy Kryn ( talk) 19:24, 18 July 2019 (UTC) reply
[Personal attack removed] Why did you write a cuss word on Wikipedia? What was your point of that?

The result of the discussion was retarget to Milan#Religion. (non-admin closure) Steel1943 ( talk) 19:35, 12 August 2019 (UTC) reply

Milan has many churches, this is way too vague. Given the amount of work required to create a good disambiguation for this, and the total lack of use for this redirect, I think it's best of deleted. signed, Rosguill talk 15:13, 18 July 2019 (UTC) reply
