This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on March 23, 2019.
There is no real need for these "subpage" redirects. They were likely created by mistake while moving the Dunkin' Donuts article, and the move has since been reverted. Also, their existence had caused Bot1058 to retarget the talk archive subpage redirects to Talk:Dunkin' Donuts. Note also the "without leaving a redirect" in this move log entry for Dunkin' Donuts/Sandbox. GeoffreyT2000 ( talk) 22:17, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
Delete: I am the creator of the page. I created a user template in the Wikipedia namespace, then discovered I should have created it in the Template namespace. The template page has been created and all links to old namespace have been changed to new namespace. Mitchumch ( talk) 18:21, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

Since the former section this was pointing to no longer exists, can anybody provide a suggestion how to properly (i. e. prominently, as per WP:R#PLA) include this redirect lemma into the given target? Hildeoc ( talk) 16:31, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
Lemma as such not mentioned in given target. Synonymy seems rather doutbful to me. Hildeoc ( talk) 16:45, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

Origanum onites in Greek is Ellinikí rίgani (Greek oregano), not just Rigani. The word "Rigani" and related "rίgani " should either redirect to the plant in general : oregano, or the related surname that was derived from the plant : Rigano. -- Matthew hk ( talk) 18:22, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
Was redirected to a PBS station back in 2007 without explanation. Looked back in history and couldn't find any reference to an individual by that name associated with this particular station. Onel5969 TT me 11:55, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
This is an odd case. The redirect points to Record-Courier (Ohio), which currently makes no mention of Ohio Star, and under redirect guidelines redirect shouldn't exist for that reason. Anyone typing in Ohio Star and landing at Record-Courier will have no idea why they're on that page.
After some digging I found a US Library of Congress historical listing for Ohio Star. It says the Ohio Star was a newspaper that existed from 1830 to 1854. It then explains a complicated history of many changes in ownership and name, including official status as an organ of various political parties. There doesn't appear to even be a list of the various names over the years. Finally, it says "In its current incarnation, it is known as the Record-Courier". The Record-Courier came into existence in 1961. [1]
The newspaper Ohio Star ceased to exist 165 years ago, with a 107 gap before the Record-Courier was established in 1961. Any connection between the two is tenuous in the extreme. Under normal circumstances I might add some mention of Ohio Star to the Record-Courier article and leave the redirect in place. However this is not a normal circumstance.
Recently a campaign financing org and political action committees (PACs) set up a bunch of clone websites each claiming to be a local newspaper, with largely clone content, each claiming to be the Most reliable local newspaper for their region, despite lacking any actual newspaper. See Snopes item and story at Arstechnica. In the modern US political environment, the theory is that local newspapers are considered more trustworthy. So naturally websites for fake local newspapers were set up as a cover for pushing campaign propaganda. The clone websites largely carry the same content, and that content is padded out with international coverage syndicated from the Daily Mail (which is explicitly banned as an unreliable source on Wikipedia). One of these fake-local-newspaper websites claims the name The Ohio Star.
The old Ohio Star newspaper ceased to exist 165 years ago, and has only the most tenuous connection to the Record-Courier. I see little chance that readers are obtaining any meaningful value from this redirect. On the other hand I see great potential for harm in this redirect, in that anyone typing in "Ohio Star" is almost certainly doing so in relation to the modern fake-newspaper website. Sending that user to the Record-Courier article will almost certainly confuse them, and even worse they could interpret our article as documenting the existence of a modern day genuine-newspaper called The Ohio Star. There is no such newspaper.
I believe readers will be best served simply by deleting this confusing redirect. Alsee ( talk) 06:51, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
