I have to assume "Turkey slap" derives its name from the animal and not the country. Getting the sovereign nation of Turkey involved does not seem fair. In all seriousness, I looked up 'Turkish slap' looking to see if there is a page on the so called 'Ottoman slap' and was led in a different direction. I can't imagine anyone typing in 'Turkish slap' is actually looking for 'Turkey slap' which is essentially an Urban Dictionary term which gained short notoriety from Australian Big Brother. This might be much ado about nothing, but I'm nominating it nonetheless. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia ^talk 18:47, 13 May 2020 (UTC) reply

These redirects didn't seem to get many pageviews in 2019 compared to their targets, and we also have the correctly spelled counterparts. While there are some plausible misspellings of "royal," "royally," "royalty," etc., these (like "royaly" for "royal" rather than "royally," which would make more sense)...seem royally questionably useful, since the Y key is fairly far from both the A and L ones on a keyboard.

• Comment: I don't really have a preference here and was intending on closing this, but I do want to call out the above arguments as not being great. These are redirects, so obvious typos where correctly spelled counterparts already exist are totally fine. One or two do appear to have been made in error, but that these typos are errors do not make a good case for deletion. The nominators statement seems fine and I'm fine with these being deleted, but I was uncomfortable relisting (supervote, etc.) and so felt I should say something. ~ Amory ( u • t • c) 11:40, 13 May 2020 (UTC) reply

• • @ Amorymeltzer: "Deleting pages unambiguously created in error" is a deletion criterion of WP:G6 for uncontroversial maintenance, which is precisely what I consider this to be, and that's what I meant, but I abbreviated my remarks. I will try to use the entire phrase in future. Shhhnotsoloud ( talk) 07:28, 15 May 2020 (UTC) reply
    • Thanks, that is clearer; unambiguous errors alone sounds like a suggestion that these should be deleted because they are typos. AFAICT, only one of the four remaining redirects is clearly and unambiguously created by mistake, so I wouldn't think that logic would apply to the others. Moreover, I do not consider G6 to apply based on age alone — these are all well over a decade old. ~ Amory ( u • t • c) 09:48, 15 May 2020 (UTC) reply

• Comment George H. W. Bush was not re-elected president, so the redirect is not ambiguous if we take it to mean presidential elections. However, George H.W. Bush was re-elected vice president and representative (and George W. Bush was re-elected governor of Texas). I was curious to see what other Election of PRESIDENT redirects look like, to see if "election" in U.S. politics without a qualifier does mean "presidential election". I was surprised to see that historical presidents like Election of George Washington and Election of Abraham Lincoln are red, while modern presidents like Election of Barack Obama and Election of Donald Trump are blue. To fix the ambiguity where they exist (Trump has only ever won one election), they can be retargeted to their respective electoral history pages. I just set up Electoral history of George Bush in case that's the route we want to take. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 16:47, 13 May 2020 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was retarget to Aby (disambiguation). While editors were generally undecided, nobody seemed to be under the impression that this wasn't a suitable target. Defaulting to accommodate English-speakers, rather than potentially more orthographically correct Nordic-language speakers, seems reasonable. I also note that there's some (unfortunately unreferenced) text at Å#International_transcription that suggests that Swedish speakers sometimes simplify Å to A. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 04:17, 20 May 2020 (UTC) reply

• Åby → Aaby  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

What's appropriate for "Åby"? Should Åby redirect to disambiguation page Aaby with ambiguous terms listed there (as it currently does), or should Åby redirect to Aby (disambiguation) (noting that Å isn't A but it isn't Aa either)? Shhhnotsoloud ( talk) 17:03, 6 May 2020 (UTC) reply

• Retarget to DAB page Aby (disambiguation). I invoke WP:ASTONISH. Most English-speakers are hopeless with diacritics, even if they can work out how to type them. No-one who types in "Åby" should be surprised to find themselves looking at a page of the same name but without the diacritic; it's usual WP practice. However, they might well be surprised to find themselves looking at the apparently unrelated page Aaby.

(I would have been one of those surprised, so I did some research. Danish isn't one the five or so major European languages I read with some comfort, so I looked up Å. I learnt that Danish spelling was changed in C20 to replace "aa" by "å"; although the old usage has survived (the way it does; no-one spells Goethe's name as the phonetically-identical modern-looking Göte) in some placenames such as Aalborg and Aabenraa, even though they are no longer the official spellings.) Narky Blert ( talk) 10:27, 7 May 2020 (UTC) reply

• It seems the problem is that there are some pages (such as Aaby, Aarhus) which a reader might search for with any of "Aby", "Åby", or "Aaby". I note that Åby, Växjö Municipality, Åby, Norrköping Municipality, and Åby Racetrack are listed at Aaby but not at Aby (disambiguation), which seems odd. Maybe Aaby should be merged to Aby (disambiguation)? Or maybe some articles should be listed on both disambiguation pages? I'm not sure. But the current redirect does seem weird for an English-speaker. — Granger ( talk · contribs) 18:45, 7 May 2020 (UTC) reply

Good points. I needed to sleep on this question before formulating an opinion. I'd oppose a merge, because Aby and Aaby don't look the same.
