- I have since noticed that most other variants redirect to Saladin (disambiguation). It makes no sense for some variants to point to one page and some to another, so maybe it should be retargeted there instead. On the other hand, more variants seem to point to Muhammad (name) [1] than to Muhammad (disambiguation) [2], or to Ahmad [3] than to Ahmad (disambiguation) [4], so maybe all the other redirects should be changed instead. What's the convention here? – Rummskartoffel 17:32, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

- 11430 → John F. Kennedy International Airport ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Highly implausible search term, people are highly unlikely to search the airport's zip code looking for the airport. It could WP:ASTONISH someone that might have expected for a non-existent article on the number 11,430. As far as I know it is not standard practice to redirect postal codes to the areas they represent. ( JayPlaysStuff | talk to me | What I've been up to) 13:56, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. The probability of anyone actually searching that term as a number is very low, so it would not violate WP:ASTONISH, but there aren't really that much views to the redirect to begin with. "11430" isn't even mentioned in the airport article either, and per WP:R#DELETE number 8 this zip code would be very unlikely to be searched in any context. – Epicgenius ( talk) 14:03, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
- Delete: If it had significance, it would appear in the article's infobox. Currently, the only appearances of "11430" are in three citation
|quote=parameters. — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR ( talk) 19:40, 7 November 2021 (UTC) - Delete. This is also the post code for Gruissan in France; the INSEE code for Villeneuve-la-Comptal, France; the ID of a house mouse gene [5]; a minor planet - 11430 Lodewijkberg; the area code for Jatipulo, Indonesia; the number of the NOAA wilderness chart covering Everglades Wilderness Waterway and likely other things too. All of these are mentioned in the infobox and/or article text, meaning that they are marginally better targets but it's still not a useful search term. Thryduulf ( talk) 20:49, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was retarget to Tunisia. WP:SNOW closure. (non-admin closure) feminist (+) 07:37, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
I don't know Arabic but I checked Arabic Wikipedia and found that ar:تونس refers to Tunisia rather than Tunis. I think it has the same name for the city and the country, but if so, the city must not be a primary topic. Sun8908 Talk 13:46, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
- Delete, the redirect is already questionable since it's in a foreign language (see
WP:RFFL) and since there seems to be ambiguity between the country Tunisia and the city Tunis, it's better to delete. — Preceding

- The result of the discussion was delete. The discussion has not definitively established whether "MU Cephei" refers primarily to Mu Cephei or a different star. However, the discussion has established that either they are the same star and so the redirect is redundant; or it refers to a star that has no coverage on Wikipedia and so the redirect is unhelpful. Both possibilities point towards deletion as the best outcome. Deryck C. 13:47, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

- Comment: Mu Cephei originally pointed to Mu Cephei but was retargeted in 2017 by Lithopsian, with the edit summary, "MU Cephei is not the same star as μ Cephei." -- Paul_012 ( talk) 22:05, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
- Two different stars. The star MU Cephei is also a variable star (hence the MU), but a Cepheid and much fainter than the naked-eye Mu (μ) Cephei. Seems like it would be highly misleading to redirect to μ Cephei without any explanation in that article, and I'm not sure that explanations there about a typographical anomaly would be appropriate. Quite a common issue though, so maybe there is somewhere about stellar nomenclature that discusses this and MU Cep would be mentioned as an example? Or just delete it, we don't generally have redirects for non-notable stars. It probably isn't independently notable although it has been included as one of many in quite a few papers about Cepheids. There is one paper focused on MU Cep and just one other star, but I think that's it. Lithopsian ( talk) 11:21, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- What Paul_012 may have meant to say was: MU Cephei originally pointed to Mu Cephei... Jay (talk) 05:17, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
- Keep "μ" is listed at the target page. If the variable star designation were to be added to the list, then both could be listed. As it is now, it works for people looking for "mu Cephei", while not misleading people looking for "MU Cephei" into believing that that "μ Cephei" is "MU Cephei" -- 64.229.90.53 ( talk) 20:53, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

- Yes, this is a serious discussion. -- Tavix ( talk) 22:35, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
- Delete or keep (don't retarget). The categories on the redirect page apply to a different star, which would probably occupy the title per WP:DIFFCAPS if it had an article. It shouldn't be retargeted to μ, which would be a misleading redirect from incorrect capitalisation. -- Paul_012 ( talk) 02:50, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

What's the convention here? – Rummskartoffel 17:32, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

- 11430 → John F. Kennedy International Airport ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Highly implausible search term, people are highly unlikely to search the airport's zip code looking for the airport. It could WP:ASTONISH someone that might have expected for a non-existent article on the number 11,430. As far as I know it is not standard practice to redirect postal codes to the areas they represent. ( JayPlaysStuff | talk to me | What I've been up to) 13:56, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. The probability of anyone actually searching that term as a number is very low, so it would not violate WP:ASTONISH, but there aren't really that much views to the redirect to begin with. "11430" isn't even mentioned in the airport article either, and per WP:R#DELETE number 8 this zip code would be very unlikely to be searched in any context. – Epicgenius ( talk) 14:03, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
- Delete: If it had significance, it would appear in the article's infobox. Currently, the only appearances of "11430" are in three citation
|quote=parameters. — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR ( talk) 19:40, 7 November 2021 (UTC) - Delete. This is also the post code for Gruissan in France; the INSEE code for Villeneuve-la-Comptal, France; the ID of a house mouse gene [5]; a minor planet - 11430 Lodewijkberg; the area code for Jatipulo, Indonesia; the number of the NOAA wilderness chart covering Everglades Wilderness Waterway and likely other things too. All of these are mentioned in the infobox and/or article text, meaning that they are marginally better targets but it's still not a useful search term. Thryduulf ( talk) 20:49, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was retarget to Tunisia. WP:SNOW closure. (non-admin closure) feminist (+) 07:37, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
I don't know Arabic but I checked Arabic Wikipedia and found that ar:تونس refers to Tunisia rather than Tunis. I think it has the same name for the city and the country, but if so, the city must not be a primary topic. Sun8908 Talk 13:46, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
- Delete, the redirect is already questionable since it's in a foreign language (see
WP:RFFL) and since there seems to be ambiguity between the country Tunisia and the city Tunis, it's better to delete. — Preceding

Examples of appropriate non-English redirects include: Original or official names of people, places, institutions, publications or products

- The result of the discussion was delete. The discussion has not definitively established whether "MU Cephei" refers primarily to Mu Cephei or a different star. However, the discussion has established that either they are the same star and so the redirect is redundant; or it refers to a star that has no coverage on Wikipedia and so the redirect is unhelpful. Both possibilities point towards deletion as the best outcome. Deryck C. 13:47, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

- Comment: Mu Cephei originally pointed to Mu Cephei but was retargeted in 2017 by Lithopsian, with the edit summary, "MU Cephei is not the same star as μ Cephei." -- Paul_012 ( talk) 22:05, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
- Two different stars. The star MU Cephei is also a variable star (hence the MU), but a Cepheid and much fainter than the naked-eye Mu (μ) Cephei. Seems like it would be highly misleading to redirect to μ Cephei without any explanation in that article, and I'm not sure that explanations there about a typographical anomaly would be appropriate. Quite a common issue though, so maybe there is somewhere about stellar nomenclature that discusses this and MU Cep would be mentioned as an example? Or just delete it, we don't generally have redirects for non-notable stars. It probably isn't independently notable although it has been included as one of many in quite a few papers about Cepheids. There is one paper focused on MU Cep and just one other star, but I think that's it. Lithopsian ( talk) 11:21, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- What Paul_012 may have meant to say was: MU Cephei originally pointed to Mu Cephei... Jay (talk) 05:17, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
- Keep "μ" is listed at the target page. If the variable star designation were to be added to the list, then both could be listed. As it is now, it works for people looking for "mu Cephei", while not misleading people looking for "MU Cephei" into believing that that "μ Cephei" is "MU Cephei" -- 64.229.90.53 ( talk) 20:53, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

- Delete or keep (don't retarget). The categories on the redirect page apply to a different star, which would probably occupy the title per WP:DIFFCAPS if it had an article. It shouldn't be retargeted to μ, which would be a misleading redirect from incorrect capitalisation. -- Paul_012 ( talk) 02:50, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

variable star designation, "μ Cephei" (mu Cephei) is a
Bayer designation;; however I will note that a theoretical "M Cepehi" and "m Cephei" would both be Bayer designations for different stars, one lowercased, one uppercased. There is only lowercased Greek letters in Bayer, so there is no Mu/mu distinction, and variable star designations only use uppercase Latin letters. --
