• Soft redirect would be first choice, keep as is would be second choice, and generally oppose deletion. The title follows our naming conventions on lists and if someone is looking for a list of Wikipedia essays, a new user or researcher unfamiliar with WikiNamespaces, this is actually useful and not astonishing. It's one of the few times it seems to make sense to take people to relevant content in the project namespace.

I can't speak as to the others, but I'm pretty sure people who can't remember how to spell the name of Latin Wikipedia benefit from the redirects coming up when they try to look it up. Remember, if they want to read about Vicipaedia (I've consulted it occasionally, but even I wasn't certain about the spelling until I checked it just now), it's pointless going to the sidebar and looking for Latin, since if there's a link, it'll only take them to the Latin version of the page they're on. I also note that Latin wasn't listed among the supported languages on the main page when I was there a moment ago! Redirects are here to help people find what they're looking for when they know their destination, but aren't sure how to get there. Is there some disadvantage to having them, or are they taking up too much space on Wikipedia? I'm willing to be convinced that some of them are useless, but right now they seem to serve a purpose.

These redirects aren't aimed at "native speakers of Latin looking for Wikipedia in Latin". They're aimed at English speakers looking for the English-language article about Vicipaedia, but who may not know how to spell it correctly, since it's not an everyday word in English—and who may not realize that the article title is "Latin Wikipedia", not "Vicipaedia". So the question is, why do we not want redirects at likely attempts to spell it? Are we trying to make it harder for readers to find the articles they're looking for? Or is Wikipedia desperate to save the 260 bytes taken up by these four redirects? P Aculeius ( talk) 14:19, 1 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Hi, Aculeius. 😊 My participation in this RfD is only out of the community spirit. If I was desperate to save 260 bytes, I'd have resorted to desparate measures, like filing a lawsuit! (Believe me desparate measures are not pretty.) Things would have been very ugly if we didn't participate in any xFD simply because I was not desparate.

An English speaker looking for the English article about the Latin Wikipedia most probably searches "Latin Wikipedia". The kind of English speaker you have in mind is the kind that has attended a form of higher education that has brainwashed them to use Latin anywhere they can, to the detriment of the possibility of a happy life. flowing dreams ( talk page) 07:14, 2 October 2019 (UTC) reply

• Comment: G4 clearly does not apply here, since the redirects were not previously deleted as a result of the linked discussion. The outcome of that discussion was to retarget links that previously led to the main page of Wikipedia to go to the articles about the corresponding foreign-language versions of Wikipedia. At the time they were nominated, they all pointed to the main page instead. In the case of the Latin redirects, they now point to the article about Vicipaedia, which is exactly what they should have been doing according to outcome of that discussion. The reason redirects exist is to help people find articles for which they don't know the correct titles, and that includes plausible misspellings. All of these seem like plausible spelling mistakes for Vicipaedia—and they're also useful because the article they point to is not titled "Vicipaedia", but "Latin Wikipedia". Readers who remember the name vaguely are likely to search under these variations, so why are we deleting them? If they were not plausible spelling mistakes, I could see deleting them, but they account for only two variations: wrong gender, and ae→e. It seems to me that there should be a better reason than "well, somebody deleted them before, based on a discussion three years ago that called for a completely different result". P Aculeius ( talk) 14:57, 30 September 2019 (UTC) reply

While I think that your argument about the usefulness of the Latin redirects may be valid, the redirects nominated here were all deleted, as can be confirmed by looking at logs and reading through Tavix's argument which determined which redirects were to be deleted and which were to be redirected. That having been said, I also agree with the wider thrust of your argument against G4; G4 exists so that articles that are exact duplicates of previously deleted-by-discussion articles articles can be deleted without further disruption. This works because an article can be rewritten differently than the previous version in order to allow for consensus to change. The same cannot be said of a redirect, which will always be exactly the same as a previous version, so strictly enforcing G4 against redirects would never allow consensus to change. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 15:32, 30 September 2019 (UTC) reply

But my point was, the previous discussion concluded that the redirects should be retargeted at articles about foreign-language Wikipedias, if they existed—not that they should be deleted. So there was no agreement to delete them in the first place, and for that reason alone G4 is inapplicable. Even if there had been no article, "Latin Wikipedia" in 2016—and there certainly should have been, since Vicipaedia itself has been around a long time—there is now, so the same rationale behind the 2016 discussion would lead to a "keep" result here. Again, G4 isn't relevant, since the previous discussion did not conclude that redirects for foreign-language encyclopedias should be deleted as a matter of policy—which would be the only reason to apply G4 here. And again, the question is: what is the benefit to Wikipedia of deleting redirects for existing, English-language articles based on plausible misspellings? There needs to be a better argument for deletion than "we deleted them before following on a discussion that was actually closed as 'keep and retarget'." P Aculeius ( talk) 20:31, 30 September 2019 (UTC) reply

If they had been deleted on a shaky basis, the proper channel to discuss this might have been WP:DRV, not merely recreating deleted content. I personally feel G4 would apply for redirects, even if they have no choice but to be fundamentally similar to the material that was deleted in the first place, because simply recreating them actually bypasses valuable discussion avenues that determine if they're worth having, not to mention if the deletions themselves were in error. "Recreate without saying a word" isn't a valid approach to restoring deleted content, even if said content should not have been deleted in the first place.

None of these redirects are mentioned at the target, which is a disambiguation page. Steel1943 ( talk) 17:54, 10 October 2019 (UTC) reply

• Delete per nom, and further because none of the articles listed at the disambiguation page mention a river, so these redirects are of no help at all to readers. WP:R#D10 also applies since, if the river exists, it would be better to have a red link to encourage article creation. None of the redirects have significant incoming links or useful page history. -- Black Falcon ^{( talk)} 19:16, 13 October 2019 (UTC) reply

This template was created by a user who misspelled "Intelligence". User:Schwede66 moved it to the correct spelling, leaving this redirect. It will never be a valid redirect because of the misspelling. It was called only from Officials Committee for Domestic and External Security Co-ordination, where I have corrected the spelling to Schwede66's version, so this redirect is now useless.

  • The problem with that is that New Zealand Intelligence Community with capital I and C is not an entity. It should never have been capitalized and nobody should be linking to such a thing, so there is no need to retain as a redirect. Delete it please. Akld guy ( talk) 04:44, 11 October 2019 (UTC) reply
    • Redirects aren't expensive, and alternate capitalization isn't a bad thing. This is just my personal view on it; the consensus of this discussion may result in otherwise. -- / Alex/ ₂₁ 04:50, 11 October 2019 (UTC) reply
      • Alternate capitalization for no good reason is a bad thing because users see it and are tempted to deploy it. If only one user deploys it, others copy. Soon, you've got a swag of them. There is no such organization or thing as The New Zealand Intelligence Community. Nobody should be using that form. Akld guy ( talk) 06:34, 11 October 2019 (UTC) reply

• Delete. There is no such organization as "New Zealand Intelligence Community". I am of the opinion that redirects should be used sparingly. Wrong capitalizations, typos, and the like should be handled by Wikipedia's search engine. —  UnladenSwallow ( talk) 16:23, 11 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Right, I have no objection to redirecting to a future (sourced) list or general article, just not to one specific element, it's too WP:SURPRISEing. Assam has been described as the "first" one recently, in some sources. Zerach ( talk) 07:18, 10 October 2019 (UTC) reply

• Congregational Church → Congregational church  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

User:AlbanGeller changed the target from Congregational church to Congregational church (disambiguation), which resulted in a large number of articles (~50) pointing to the DAB when they probably meant the denomination. I'm personally neutral about which is the more appropriate target, so I'm bringing it up for discussion here. I undid AlbanGeller's edit in the meantime, on the assumption that the incoming links intended the denomination. Cnilep ( talk) 02:42, 10 October 2019 (UTC) reply
