Enwiki has no content about this subject. Yes, there is an old merge in the history but the article in which it was merged to was deleted in the discussion at
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Middle-earth rivers (2nd nomination). The redirect currently at
List of Middle-earth rivers was created after the deletion, so the history this redirect was merged into is no longer extant in an undeleted state anywhere.

Only mention of Greyflood in enwiki is "Boromir lost his horse while crossing the Greyflood and travelled the rest of the way on foot", which doesn't really tell a reader anything about this river. It's a river, but I don't remember if it has any other names. If it has additional names, I guess this could be retargeted to where the river is detailed there, but I don't remember if this river had additional names.

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:
Information about her was
removed from the target in April (see
Talk:Online shaming#Example Farm). She is mentioned in passing on a few articles like
IAC (company)#2010s and 2020s,
Sam Biddle,
Michael Kulich, and
So You've Been Publicly Shamed, none of which would make good targets. A different Justine Sacco is mentioned at
Timeline of women in warfare and the military in the United States from 2011–present. I'd say the best option would be to delete; a disambiguation page would be a distant second preference.

- Comment: The redirect is currently tagged with {{
R from subtopic}}. In addition, it seems that subjects which utilize the word "Langage" have a connection with the subject at
Plymouth (which the subject of the nominated redirect's target
Plympton is a suburb), including the subject at
Langage Power Station.
However, the problem lies in the fact that at the current time, the article
Plympton does not mention the word "Langage" anywhere in it.

- Retargeting is out of the question: correct names always take precedence over typos. And I don't see what's the problem with the current target:
Plympton prominently mentions in its lead Langage as a constituent part, and that's also where the redirect
Langage, Devon is pointing. Maybe there's a case for disambiguating as the nearby power station is also apparently referred to as just "Langage", and the French word langage also occasionally crops up in English texts (see
Langue and parole for context; though as far as I'm aware it's always discussed just as the French word and is not a term of art, so including it on the dab page is probably optional). I've drafted a dab below the redirect. –

- Langage is an industrial estate next to Plympton -
https://www.old-maps.co.uk/ doesn't show a village, and
http://www.npemap.org.uk shows the name but it refers to a hamlet slightly further out where old-maps.co.uk shows Higher Langage and Lower Langage (probably farms). The industrial estate, hamlet and power station are all outside the boundary of Plymouth (of which Plympton is a part); administratively they are in
Sparkwell but that article is a stub and doesn't mention any of them. It is often described as in Plympton or Plymouth but that is probably based on its postcode. A redirect to
Language would be misleading.

- After Peter James's comment, I think we have good reasons not to keep: the current target doesn't seem any more relevant for the place than several other articles. In cases like these it's best to leave it to the dab entry to clarify what exactly Langage is, and to link to the articles (probably more than one) that are relevant. Oh, and we actually do sometimes disambiguate for typos (a subset of such dabs can be seen
here), but there are no typos involved in this case here. –

Birther conspiracies are not limited to Obama. Trump started or otherwise helped spread birther theories against many of his political opponents, including Ted Cruz

- I think that, at this point, there might be enough material for an article on birtherism in general considering it's probably one of the best-known conspiracies in US politics.

Nohomersryan:, just for clarity: how would a potential article on birtherism as a conspiracy theory differ from
Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories?

- As OP mentioned, at this point birtherism has been applied to a fair amount of high-profile US politicians; it doesn't have to be solely about Obama. Though I suppose you could say that "birtherism" primarily refers to Obama conspiracies, which would be contrary to the argument suggested in this RFD that there is no

- Too Soon. Keep the redirect as is, and revisit in a month. I strongly suspect that the attempt to create a version of birtherism pointed at Kamala has failed... and that (unlike the Obama version) it isn’t going to get any traction, even amongst the conspiracy nutters.

- Wasn’t there a US president 100 and change years ago born in northern Vermont, and political foes accused him of secretly having been born across the border in Canada?

- I suppose you are referring to
Chester Arthur, but then the supposed "controversy", if any, of his birth, predates the modern usage of the term birther. Wikidictionary
defines birther explicitly as someone who buys into the conspiracy theory that Obama was not born in the US, or more generally, anyone who questions the eligibility of a candidate for office based on their citizenship status. So the real question here is whether participants agree that the term birther is so associated with Obama that the current redirect is appropriate, or there ought to be a retarget given the other birth conspiracy theories targeted at high profile individuals commonly labelled as "birther" by the media and reliable sources. --

- Keep, on the grounds that the disputes over Obama's eligibility are arguably still the primary meaning of 'birtherism'. If the current disputes over Kamala Harris (or other politicians) become more enduring and higher profile,
Birtherism may have to be developed into a general article on such theories.

- Would seem the soundest practice, developing an article just on this topic, as it has at least been insinuated against George Romney, John McCain, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and so on.

- Keep per 59.149.x.x. There aren't many Barack Obama or Kamala Harris or whoever else conspiracy theories, there's just a single conspiracy theory slightly adjusted and trotted out whenever Donald Trump faces a non-white political opponent. We probably won't get that into an article title, but "birtherism" is better than putting any other living person's name in the title.

- Delete Per nom it is an unlikely misnomer for the target. I can find no treaty signed at

[4] is the only thing I can find referring to this treaty. I also found one hit about a treaty apparently relating to Lesbos, this redirect (which was the top hit), and oddly enough, a bunch of hits on climbing forums. I'm not seeing this as anywhere close to a primary topic for this.
