WP:REDLINK. I couldn't find any specific discussion of queer-platonic relationships, which surprised me. I think
Romantic friendship describes something similar, and it does have some discussion of queer topics, unlike the current target, but this really merits an article of its own. --

- Yes that is surprising. There's something on a similar topic at
Sexuality in The Lord of the Rings#Idealised heroic friendship, but there isn't an article on
Heroic friendship either. Seems the whole area is, er, ripe for the taking. But I'm not convinced that deletion is the right option here, as
Platonic love isn't a bad target and we could add a few words about the queer variety there in an instant. There's a decent entry on "Queerplatonic relationship" at
The Rice University Neologisms Database which might be enough to cite a brief mention in the target article, in which case we should keep all three redirects?

- Keep where they are, with mention in the target article as appropriate. There's not enough reliably sourced here that would get past the "sad stub" point for a stand-alone article, but there can and should be mention of the concept.

- Weak Keep - As things currently stand, it appears best to me to leave things mostly alone and simply try to expand that targeted article with more discussions on platonic relationships between two men, two nonbinary people, two women, and so on. I'm not quite sure if
WP:REDLINK really applies.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.Relisting comment: Reopened
by request. The nominator maintains that since my closure, he has tried and been unable to add any substantial, reliably sourced content concerning queerplatonic relationships to
Platonic love; as the ability to do so was a premise of both keep votes, I would challenge interested parties to add the content themselves or revise their positions.

- Appreciate the relist. The relisting comment mostly covers it. I'd add that when this was initially closed, I decided to just add some sourced content myself, since I assume we were all on the same page that that would be an improvement. But after looking into it, I was surprised to find that it probably can't clear
WP:NEO. That's why it was redirected years ago, and apparently the situation hasn't changed that much. I also considered reviving the unsourced, one-sentence stub and taking it to AfD, but that seemed ill advised. (Pinging @
Chiswick Chap: also.)
- I hope we can also all agree that the status quo does not serve readers well, promising content that isn't there. Could a reader be searching for the term without already knowing what a platonic relationship is, and hence get something out of it? Maybe, but that seems unlikely, much less likely than confusing or disappointing the reader. Could someone else succeed where I've failed? If we uphold the status quo, it's likely to just come back to RfD further down the road. --

- Preliminary, I'm fine with delete. I was leaning towards a keep in that I figured there was probably enough for a brief mention, considering the original desire for delete came from "we should be making room for a stand-alone article". If there isn't enough for either, no point.

- Except N-ray isn't even real, and there is no mention of an N-particle in that article. It is more likely users are searching for neutrino, which is a particle, than the N ray which is not even real. So IMO both redirects should point to Neutrino.

- (
edit conflict) The first redirect is entirely in the Latin alphabet, the second begins with a Greek capital
Nu (letter). The
Neutrino article mentions that it is "denoted by the Greek letter ν", "ν" being the lowercase form of "Ν".
N-ray doesn't mention anything relevant as far as I can tell. So retarget
Ν particle (the Greek one) to
Neutrino, a particle denoted with that letter/symbol. I'm currently unsure what I think about the Latin redirect.

- Readers will rarely ever come across this redirect by searching for it in the first place. And besides, can you imagine anyone searching up 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake Countries That Were Not Directly Affected But Have Lost Citizens and then remembering that exact string and searching up (e.g.) 2011 Japan Earthquake Countries That Were Not Directly Affected But Have Lost Citizens? I can't. But PANDORA is a crappy, crappy, utterly flawed rationale that gets brought up far too much – redirects are judged on their own merits; few people do searches in a consistent manner and looking at the title often dictates the style of their next search anyhow; and when you think about it, PANDORA is literally "right, let's delete this (and harm readers' searches) because if they follow a pattern (1/5 or less chance by my estimation) they may be inconvenienced". I'm not sure how to express this, but PANDORA is something like let's harm xxx readers in case xxx/5 readers who follow odd pattern are harmed. It completely, utterly, defeats the point. But I digress. These ones have their merits:
(first one formed by page move) and preserving attribution, as well as making sure old links remain intact – both have
decent
pageviews. —

- Delete #1 as implausible. It's very old, which is a point in favor of keeping, but the low amount of pageviews suggests that no one is linking to this from elsewhere. Keep #2 for attribution reasons. Even if technically not legally required, it's good practice to maintain diffs of merged pages unless there's a strong harm in keeping the redirect, and I agree that there's not a strong case for PANDORA here. --

I think as it stands this redirect is more likely to surprise readers than to help them. As best I can tell this is a partial title match for the English translation of a paper originally published in Spanish by this academic, which I think is a rather tenuous link. A google search doesn't suggest to me that the phrase "Stagnated democracy" is paticularly strongly associated with Sergio Aguayo. The best potential target I was able to find is
Political stagnation, but I don't think it's a perfect fit.

Democracy with some information added. I've found these sources that can be used:

2,
3 from 1870,
