These all redirect to a target in which the subject of the redirect isn't even mentioned. The only thing I can find is that these individuals are listed as additional performers in the personnel section of an album by the band but no further info is provided. Are such redirects going to be useful to readers? Some of the names (Gander, Hansen, Harrison) are mentioned in other articles referencing a different person by the same name but who also don't have articles. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars

- Weak keep as not just Vietnamese but apparently a plausible spelling of the Khmer name
បៀរ
អង្គរ. The first word is "Beer" and the second is "Angkor". In
បៀរ (the first word):
- the first letter
ប gets romanised either as <b> or <p> depending on the romanisation system
- The vowel cluster
ៀ has a
schwa at the end (i.e. the same sound at the start of the word about)
- the final
រ (r) is silent in most dialects, says

- Delete as while it's a reasonable romanization of the Khmer name, it basically requires someone to transliterate the Khmer name, rather than using the English spelling that is also on the bottle. This strikes me as basically hitting all the reasoning at
WP:RLOTE except with an extra unlikely step to actually be useful. ~

- Keep as an apparently plausible rendering of the target's native name. I don't think we can assume that all varieties of the beer will be like the one pictured in the article in having the English name printed, and we can't also assume that all readers will be searching based on what they see on a bottle (rather than, say, hear spoken in conversation). –

- Comment tending to weak keep for as long as its not in the way of some other entry. Is this perhaps used as a loanword in some German-language-rooted locales in the US (like f.e. the Pittsburgh area)? I'm asking, because, from a German perspective, the entry makes a lot of sense, as in the German language the term "Radio" refers exclusively to a "broadcast radio receiver" device (not to wireless communication and wireless communication devices in general), and the correct term for the wireless transmission of audio in one-to-many (public) broadcasting is "Hörfunk". (There is also "Sprechfunk" for wireless transmisson of speech-only audio in one-to-one
radiophony.) Might be worth some further research... --

- Well, if it was heavily advertised as "coming 2018" then it is a plausible redirect. If someone sees an old poster or promotion with the 2018 date, then that would be a reasonable search term. The plausibility depends on how heavily it was advertised as being scheduled for a 2018 release. If there were no posters/ads made with that date, then I'd say that it should be deleted. —

- It's a judgment call, and doesn't matter in the great scheme of things. What does matter is that all links to DAB pages (other than the technical ones through the (disambiguation) qualifier) should be categorised as one or the other. And very many (from experience, I estimate thousands) are not.

Research into these two redirects' topics makes it seem as though they are synonyms for the same subject. However, it's also unclear where they should both target if they are to be synced. (Also, note that
Bomb hole, the singular for "Bomb holes" does not exist.)

- Weak delete, failing that I'd probably leave them at the current targets - a bomb hole is a kind of blast hole, but a blast hole isn't necessarily a bomb hole. But that aside, neither topic is really discussed in either article, and I don't think our readers really need a redirect to inform them that a bomb hole is caused by a bomb, or indeed a blast hole is caused by blasting. They're the kind of redirects that are neither harmful nor particularly useful. ~

- Retarget' to
Merino, as it does seem to be the closest useful target we have. Most references to Saxony Wool on the web seem to be various suit manufacturers talking self-promotingly about it, but
some of them are reasonably informative. It does not seem to be used frequently to refer to wool literally from
Saxony, but rather a historical style of wool now from sheep generally farmed elsewhere. This is potentially the kind of topic that could have its own article if there's been actual coverage of it outside of websites selling suits, but the significant mentions at Merino seem to be the best we can offer. ~

Vakıflar just means "foundations" in Turkish, and points to their article for
Foundation on trWiki (

VakıfBank and
Vakıflar (İzmir Metro). Searching online, I don't see evidence that "Vakıflar" on its own generally refers to the Directorate General. I would lean towards deletion, although disambiguation may also be an appropriate option. signed,

- Comment I think the "foundations" referred to by
Rosguill is an overtranslation; I suspect it refers specifically to waqfs. At present, I think the most likely use of the word in English is to mean the Vakıflar, or, less likely, as a sort of search for
Waqfs in Turkey, to which our closest article is still
Directorate General of Foundations (Turkey). From my experience Vakıflar is used to mean the government ministry in English, but that's in a particular field. By the way, VakıfBank is the financial arm of the Vakıflar. I'm not sure the
Vakıflar (İzmir Metro) is really valid at all; the page is terribly out of date and I don't see much evidence of the station's existence at present, at least not under that name. It doesn't appear on
this map. I suspect the name Vakıflar was attached becuase the proposed station is at the site of the Vakıflar offices.

- Redirect to
Heroes (disambiguation) This originally redirected to
Darren Costin, member of Wang Chung, whose band Heroes put an album out on RCA in 1987; it's what he did after leaving the band in 1984, while the rest of the group cooked up the soundtrack for
To Live and Die in LA. Costin's article was bulldozed and then redirected without discussion in 2017, which is how Heroes came to redirect to Wang Chung; the Wang Chung article doesn't mention Heroes because no content from Costin's article was merged. (This turns out to be a nice illustration of knowledge and article rot.) Heroes del Silencio is another plausible search target, so I think redirecting to the dab is the best solution.
