I corrected the formation of this redirect, then realized the reference to him in the target didn't even belong there, and, if he's really a senior political advisor, then something would turn up about him via Google. But there's nothing. This is really the redirect equivalent of a hoax.

Not mentioned in article and has no relevance to the term. KingAndGod 14:32, 9 April 2018 (UTC)reply
Delete unless we can find a decent target for merging
the former article. Unfortunately all the names in that article are redlinks or mislinks, and Wikipedia has no information about this company anywhere else besides trivial mentions, so we have nowhere to send readers. Also,
the AFD had no consensus for this redirect. The nominator there suggested "A redirect to an article on early American rave culture (esp. in the Midwest or Chicago) could work", but not the worldwide topic overview
rave.

It's not clear to me (not a chemist) why Association redirects to Dissociation, where it isn't mentioned. Is
Chemical bond a better target?
Shhhnotsoloud (
talk) 11:34, 9 April 2018 (UTC)reply
Dissociation is usually a reversible process. The opposite of dissociation is association, although
Dissociation (chemistry) uses term "recombination", a word have haven't encountered in this context, instead. I think the chemical term "association" is tied very closely with "dissociation" and therefore the redirect makes sense to me. I'll go add the term to the article now.
Chemical bond wouldn't be a bad or wrong alternative target, but I think the status quo is best. --
Ed (
Edgar181) 13:11, 9 April 2018 (UTC)reply
In chemistry, association and dissociation processes are very closely related to each other. In particular, the equation for any equilibrium association process can be written Reactants⇔Products. The same system can equally well be described as a dissociation process, Products⇔Reactants. Hence there is no point in having separate WP articles for association and dissociation in chemistry.

Keep - Perfectly acceptable redirect - Also if someone needs to add the target article and they don't type it in caps that could pose a problem so in that respect the lowercase variant is useful. –
Davey2010Talk 20:31, 10 April 2018 (UTC)reply
Keep More than just acceptable. British English often writes acronyms thus when they're pronounced as a single word, like FISA is (e.g., this
Guardian article about "Ukip"). Deletion would be pointless. --
