The page to which this redirects is up for deletion - I don't think this title itself would meet notability requirements -- nonsense ferret 22:00, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete Obscure and possibly harmful. Tikiwont (talk) 09:17, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

“Sālā kutā hindustānī ejaṇṭ” is clearly not his name. Does anyone know what this refers to? If not, I suggest deletion. Gorobay (talk) 18:21, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I've asked for comment on the destination talk page and also invited the redirect's creator to comment here (which you should have done), as they are the most likely to know the answer. For what it's worth though, none of the machine translation services I've tried will translate "ਸਾਲਾ ਕੁਤਾ ਹਿੰਦੁਸਤਾਨੀ ਏਜੰਟ". Thryduulf (talk) 18:53, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Response The redirect’s creator has created many redirects from many foreign languages; I assume he does not know the languages but instead copies and pastes from the first paragraph (which would explain the occasional extra punctuation, e.g. জ্যোতি বসু,). Nevertheless, you are right, so I left a message for the editor who originally added the Gurmukhi to the article. Gorobay (talk) 20:01, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, "hindustani ejant" might mean "Indian agent", and "kutā" looks like Hindi "kuttā", "dog". So it looks like a personal attack to me. Certainly it's not his name in any language, which is what it was alleged to be in this edit [1] I tried to find the embassy of the Punjabi wikipedia but they don't seem to have one.

The best South Park episode

The result of the discussion was Speedy deleted. Although the G11 tag was debatable, this was acutally deleted under criterion R3 (by user:Yunshui) which clearly does not apply (the redirect was created in 2011, which is not "recently"). Thryduulf (talk) 10:40, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Redirect title is patently not neutral, and, even though the target lead mentions (in an unsourced statement) that the episode "is considered by fans to be one of the best of the entire series," this does not strike me as nearly enough to justify redirecting "The best South Park episode" there, as if the matter were one of objective fact. The redirect may even have been a joke (it was created on April 1, notice). It Is Me Here t / c 17:45, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm not sure if redirects can be deleted for the criterion I presented; however, the title in itself sounds like a promotion. I'm going to go ahead and put the {{db-g11}} tag on the redirect to see if an administrator might see it this was as well. Steel1943 (talk) 06:43, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete all. JohnCD (talk) 18:33, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Foreign-language names redirecting to the article on the United States. "Redirects from a foreign language title to a page whose subject is unrelated to that language (or a culture that speaks that language) should generally not be created." Only English, Spanish and French enjoy official recognition in any of the States. These are redirects from Old English, Finnish and Icelandic names, respectively. None of them are official or even spoken to much any degree in the present day. (I also found a bunch of non-official but locally spoken language name redirects listed here; let me know if you think they should be also nominated.) --hydrox (talk) 08:11, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy delete. Redirects created when fixing a page created in or moved to the wrong namespace are covered by criterion G6. This is not an uncommon error. Thryduulf (talk) 09:58, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

redirect from wikipedia space to mainspace is not appropriate as it is not a likely search term. --Bduke (Discussion) 03:56, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • This appears to be a mistake by the user as he moved an article in his user space to wikipedia space and then moved it to article space. I have edited the redirect in his user space but thought I would bring the wikipedia space redirect here, as redirects from wikipedia to main space are quite unusual, although it can be probably speedied. --Bduke (Discussion) 04:07, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Retarget to M (disambiguation) which mentions 'm and can be expanded if necessary. Tikiwont (talk) 09:11, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect should be deleted, as it redirects to a target page about a different topic. While 'M is similar to MissingNo., it is not the same thing and it should not be redirected. The existence of the redirect encourages the misconception that all glitch Pokémon are MissingNo., which is not the case. SnorlaxMonster 12:35, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
