This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on October 20, 2011

History of Montenegrins

History of Montenegrins → History of Montenegro (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Delete as (1) non-notable, (2) by far non-neutal: the redirect implies the equality of Montenegro and Montenegrins, while no consensus on the question even in Montenegro itself. Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 00:12, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Montenegrins#History. A couple of preliminary points. Firstly, being non-notable is not grounds for deletion of a redirect; indeed if a subject is notable then it should have its own page. Secondly, being perceived to be 'non-neutral' is also not a basis for deletion; WP:RNEUTRAL explains. This redirect was a former article, here, so for outright deletion we need to be assured that no content was ever merged anywhere. Having said that it was redirect when discussed, arguably out of process, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/History of Montenegrins. That AFD was closed "The result was redirect to History of Montenegro. This discussion is on a redirect, not an article. Discussions on the appropriate target should take place at Redirects for Discussion.". So, we are here, and discussion takes place within the framework of redirects policy. In that context, there is some use of this redirect so it is not an implausible search terms and I see no harm from it. My suggested retarget would take the searcher to content that they are likely to be interested in, and seems the best way forward. Bridgeplayer (talk) 01:08, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Loves Libraries

Wikipedia Loves Libraries → Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Libraries (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Cross namespace redirect from a not notable term. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 22:30, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

조선인민공화국

조선인민공화국 → People's Republic of Korea (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Comment - It might be useful to know what these redirects say. I don't read either Chines or Korean (and presumably othere here do not either) so it might be useful to have a translation. The fact that the redirect was created by a sockpuppet is, in and of itself, not enough reason to delete it. —mako ๛ 17:21, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - according to Google Translate it is Korean for 'Democratic People's Republic of Korea'.

Keep - by long precedent we keep redirects that, as here, are the name of the subject of the article in the subject's native language. In addition, this term is used in the article. Bridgeplayer (talk) 17:35, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep if it's Korean for DPRK, it should be kept. 70.24.251.158 (talk) 05:21, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

朝鮮人民共和國

朝鮮人民共和國 → People's Republic of Korea (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Created by sockpuppet of blocked User:Calvin Marquess. Lonelydarksky (暗無天日) _{contact me (聯絡)} 05:17, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this is Chinese for 'People's Republic of Korea' and doesn't meet the requirement for being in the native language of the subject. Bridgeplayer (talk) 17:50, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

북조선인민위원회

북조선인민위원회 → Provisional People's Committee for North Korea (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Created by sockpuppet of blocked User:Calvin Marquess. Lonelydarksky (暗無天日) _{contact me (聯絡)} 05:12, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Korean for 'People's Committee of North Korea'. Redirect in the native language of the subject. Mentioned in the target. Bridgeplayer (talk) 17:56, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Natib Qadish (Neopagan religion)

Natib Qadish (Neopagan religion) → Semitic Neopaganism (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

No mention in target. Natib Qadish was deleted repeatedly, and I doubt anyone's going to tack on the parenthetical in search of it. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 03:44, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dust in the Wind (album)

Dust in the Wind (album) → Kansas (band) (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Delete. Probably created in good faith, but it masks the nonexistence of an album page by redirecting, non-specifically, back to the group.
