Salisbury is the author
The Sin Eater's Daughter. There are just two articles that link to Melinda Salisbury, and both
ALSO link to the book, in the same sentence.
Redirection, in a case like this, is a disservice to readers. They should be left as redlinks. Creating a redirection is maddening to readers, who will ask themselves, "didn't I just read this? This wikipedia is a pile of crap because it repeats itself."
It is also a disservice to the contributors who add new intellectual content, or keep our intellectual content up to date. Creating a redirect masks that there is a missing article.
The redirection should be deleted, and left as a redlink, until someone writes the article on Salisbury.

- Delete to encourage article creation per nom, I don't see why it would make sense to redirect the creator of a work to the work itself rather than the other way around, as per the rationale for
this failed AFC/R proposal from February 2015. Regards,

Unnecessary redirect from doubly-disambiguated title for uniquely-titled forthcoming album
Pam

reply
- I agree it is indeed unnecessary (for the moment), but when album article are created, usually multiple redirects exist for the album. As an example,
Manic (Halsey album) redirects to
Manic (album). If the album name is unique (like this one) usually there'll be two redirects that lead to it. I created it (perhaps in haste), so that when an album article is created, this page could be retargeted there. I would start the article myself, but I'm still relatively inexperienced when it comes to creating album articles.

I can't find any evidence that this spelling is in common use, and note that this is the given German spelling for the town of
Bruebach, a separate subject. It's also a surname, although the closest thing we have to an article about a notable person by that name is
Murder of Tristan Brübach. I would suggest redirecting to
Bruebach or possibly deletion if a justification for the current target can't be provided. signed,

WP:CSD#G6 would normally apply, as this is just misc. detritus from a "vanishing" of a never-used role account, and there's no significant history, but if someone ever tries to figure out what happened to the old
User:Bureaucrats account, leaving this history makes it marginally clearer. No need to discuss this to death. If another admin feels a G7 deletion is somehow better, I won't argue with them, but surely no one could possibly think it needs to remain, and surely no one feels a long discussion is warranted.

reply
Here we have a case of multiple capitalizations of the same acronym targeting two different pages. All were originally created to target
Coronavirus disease, but
Covid was
retargeted without a discussion on May 13. The default decision would be to revert the undiscussed retarget, and keep the targets as they were ("COVID" is, after all, more generic than "COVID-19"). The
coronavirus disease article also has a hatnote directing readers to
COVID-19 for easy reference. However, editors may wish to consider
Bugsbunny100's rationale for their retarget: People looking for "COVID" are probably looking for COVID-19 in particular. In common speech today, "COVID" nearly universally refers to COVID-19 specifically. (See also: editors
made strong arguments to
WP:IAR in an earlier discussion on the similar
Coronavirus outbreak redirect.) Options are to: 2) revert the undiscussed retarget, or 2) target all four redirects to
Coronavirus disease 2019 at least temporarily due to current exceptional circumstances. I have not made up my mind on this one, so please consider this a neutral nomination; in any event, a speedy decision would be favourable due to ongoing high traffic at the listed redirects.

- Retarget all to
Coronavirus disease 2019. With an emphasis on search results before December 2019, I see no indications that "Covid" (or any case variation thereof) refers to any other type of coronavirus disease. It thus appears that the current disease is the primary topic, and the term wasn't similarly used before, so there would be no ambiguity in such a retarget.

Back in 2009, this page was moved to the correctly spelled
Jack Powell (rugby player born 1882) (which is worth keeping because it shows the guy's birth year) because of the typo, which could potentially cause confusion with

I've been researching around on third-party sites for sometime now, and I am unable to find any exclusive connection between this term and its target. In fact, at the present time, this redirect is not mentioned in the target article. From what I have seen, this redirect's title could also refer to the subject in
Empetrum nigrum or
Vaccinium oxycoccos, which are not the direct subject of the target article. It seems like the term might be defined, but it seems like it has no exclusive target anywhere on Wikipedia. For this reason, unless an exclusive target is found, I recommend deletion, probably per
WP:REDLINK.

- Disambiguate. Place the DAB page in
Category:Plant common name disambiguation pages, and mention this common name in both
Cranberry and
Empetrum nigrum. A RS source for both articles:
"mossberry (noun) Any of various small berries growing on marshy ground or in mossy areas; specifically (a) a species of cranberry, Vaccinium oxycoccos, or its fruit; (b) North American regional (Alaska and Canadian) the crowberry, Empetrum nigrum, or its fruit." From
Lexico (i.e. OUP). V. oxycoccus is the European cranberry. The OUP doesn't mention V. macrocarpon, the North American species; I don't know if that species also is called mossberry.

- Comment Elaine Nowick's "Historical Common Names of Great Plains Plants" is an excellent resource for plant common names (in spite of the title, it covers North American plants pretty broadly, not just those from the Great Plains). Nowick lists mossberry as a name for Moneses uniflora, Vaccinium macrocarpon and Vaccinium oxycoccus. The book can be downloaded
here, indexed by scientific name and

- Keep In Afghanistan, and possibly other nations with low levels of literacy, "Engineer" is an honorific, like "Mullah", or the Christian "Reverend". In largely illiterate Afghanistan even totally illiterate individuals, like
Mullah Omar, are honored by being called "Mullah", which means "learned man". Being called "Engineer" doesn't guarantee that the individual is an actual engineer. In general honorifics like Reverend, Mullah, or Engineer are not supposed to part of a BLP article title. But redirections including honorifics are not uncommon.
