The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was no consensus default to keep. Opinion is split as to whether this is a plausible (joke?) redirect for the sandbox, and the value of keeping a redirect with a long history in the Wikipedia namespace for archival purposes.

Strong Keep as {{R with old history}}. This redirect is from 2004 when meatball, c2, and other wikis were still active. Because their software autolinked CamalCase words (like Wikipedia did until ~2002) links like this allowed external linking to Wikipedia in the same way that our software allows external linking to their wikis, e.g.
meatball:WikiPedia. Archives of those wikis may point to this redirect, and other websites from that time period may link to this redirect as well. It's hard for us to detect those things, and it is better to keep this useless-if-humorous redirect than risk causing link rot in historical archives.

According to
WP:OLDARTICLE, "Inclusion is not an indicator of notability. Take, for example, Gaius Flavius Antoninus,
a hoax article that lasted for more than eight years before getting discovered and deleted. Having survived a long time on Wikipedia does not guarantee the article a permanent spot. The article may have achieved its age either because its lack of notability was not discovered until recently, or because the collective interpretation of our inclusion criteria has evolved.
Consensus can change, and an article that was once accepted under Wikipedia's guidelines or just by de facto practice could be put up for deletion." The same thing may apply to the redirects. --

This isn't AFD. Redirects, especially those in project namespace, are not subject to notability criteria. I'm not saying simply keep it because of it's age, I'm saying that because of its age and history, the possibility that deletion could break things is very high, which is why we have
WP:RKEEP #4 "Links that have existed for a significant length of time, including CamelCase links and old subpage links, should be left alone in case there are any existing links on external pages pointing to them."

Delete. This dates to May 2004, and that portion of the
sandbox archives appears to be missing, but if I had to bet, I'd wager this was the result of vandalism or page move experimentation that was quickly reverted. (The convoluted history is due to bot activity following other moves or redirctions of the sandbox.) Page views have been minimal. -

If this redirect was helping users find useful content, I'd be willing to give it the benefit of the doubt—but it A) merely points to the sandbox, and B) has averaged under one page view per month over the past several years. -

I think that this redirect may have been made in error. An image on the target article includes the caption that includes the phrase "suede knot". Nowhere else in the article, however, is a "suede knot" mentioned, nor is anything similar mentioned in the linked deWiki article. Scholar and internet searches for "suede knot" turn up nothing. My guess is that the original introduction of this term into the article was a typo, and I would thus argue that this redirect should be deleted. signed, Rosguilltalk19:04, 22 September 2019 (UTC)reply

The result of the discussion was delete. The consensus is that, after several page moves and splits, this redirect title has overstayed its welcome.
Deryck C.11:28, 15 October 2019 (UTC)reply
This is relic from like four page moves back, target article does not mention Iran and is completely about the Russian role in the conflict. No relevant incoming links, so not useful either. Deletion seems like the obvious choice but retargeting so its actually useful is another possibility.

The result of the discussion was no consensus, default to delete. These redirects were created recently and challenged within a few weeks of creation, so the lack of consensus to keep the redirects - and the fact that these titles are ambiguous with a precarious primary topic - means that the default outcome should be to reject the creation of these redirects.

Unlikely search terms that could make it more difficult to find other people named Boris. Virtually no usage history. Yes, at this moment Boris Johnson is far and away the most well-known Boris J or prime minister in the English-speaking world, but once he's out of office that could very easily change. signed, Rosguilltalk20:53, 22 September 2019 (UTC)reply
Oppose. As of right now, Boris Johnson is the most well-known Boris who is a prime minister or whose surname begins with J. This is a plausible redirect, and I believe there is a disambiguation at
Boris. No need to compromise what is best in the current situation for speculation into the future. FromAnUnnamedUser(open talk page)21:35, 22 September 2019 (UTC)reply
Neutral on Boris J. Rosguill is right that it probably makes it harder to find other people named Boris, but looking at the
Boris disambiguation page, he's the only Boris J on there. I don't think we lose much either way. Keep
Boris (prime minister) for the reasons that AnUnamedUser gives as Boris Johnson is definitely the primary topic for prime ministers named Boris.

Rosguill: Weird that these lists weren't synced; I've updated
Boris to transclude the list from
Boris (given name). W/r/t Boris J, there's a case to be made that Boris Johnson is primary here. See
page view comparison with Johnson consistently receiving 100x more views than Jordan over the past year. But Rosguill's point about making it harder to find other Borises (see also
WP:XY) is also reasonable given the periodic spikes Jordan receives. I'm still neutral on the Boris J redirect, but if it's kept then {{
Redirect|Boris J|the American billionaire|Boris Jordan}} should be placed at Boris Johnson.

This establishes that Akhuwat is a microfinance institution. What hasn't been established is why this is a useful redirect, as someone following this redirect has to already know that Akhuwat is related to microfinance, and will learn no additional information from reading the target. signed, Rosguilltalk21:30, 6 October 2019 (UTC)reply
