Set hMickfarland

Delete – This is a preposterous typo. No one would type "Set hMickfarland" into Wikipedia's search bar looking for Seth MacFarlane except by total accident. – PeeJay 21:43, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete some of these mistakes could happen but I doubt that they would occur all at once.--70.49.80.26 (talk) 00:56, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Μοναχός

Delete. Not especially Greek. Gorobay (talk) 20:42, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Προσωδία

Delete. Not especially Greek. Gorobay (talk) 20:22, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Μομεντο Μορι

Delete. Not Greek. Gorobay (talk) 20:20, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Gorobay. Memento Mori is patently Latin, as any fule kno. Si Trew (talk) 20:53, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ταυτολογία

Delete. Not especially Greek. Gorobay (talk) 20:17, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Gorobay. It is Greek of course, but I know Gorobay's meaning: it's not particular to Greece. The fact the word has been adopted into English would tend to indicate that it is not needed in the Greek alphabet. Hinders Greek language users who try to search for their own article: which appears not to exist (according to the Interwiki links). There's a bit of muck here because the Interwiki links are on the target (which is a DAB) whereas e.g. the Magyar (Hungarian) article refers specifically to a logical tautology (gives truth tables and so on) and perhaps we need to move some of the Interwiki links somewhere, too.

Πολίτευμα

Delete. Not especially Greek. Gorobay (talk) 20:15, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per G., with usual reasoning. Si Trew (talk) 21:02, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Παροιμία

Delete. Not especially Greek. Gorobay (talk) 20:08, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Name of target is not at all Greek but Latin (proverbium). Proverb#Paremiology is a section at the target, with an etymology from the Greek, and Paremiography has its own article: still, the Greek alphabet redirects are unnecessary as usual. Stats for all three are at noise level (less than 1 hit a day on average for April). Si Trew (talk) 21:06, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Barns

Retarget to Barn, which is the primary topic of the term. Most of the items on the disambiguation page can not even be referred to in the plural. bd2412 T 18:15, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Μίτρα

Delete. Not especially Greek. Gorobay (talk) 15:03, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not especially right, either. Mitre (disambiguation) would be better. Si Trew (talk) 21:23, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Κληρικός

Delete. Not especially Greek. Gorobay (talk) 14:43, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, as usual. Si Trew (talk) 22:22, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Αποστασία

Delete or retarget to Apostasia of 1965. Apostasy itself is not especially Greek, but the Apostasia of 1965 certainly is. I don’t know if the event is ever simply called apostasía in Greek (as opposed to the full apostasía tou 1965) though. Gorobay (talk) 14:38, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Like Gorobay, I couldn't find anything that calls it just "apostasías". Are there other, um, apostasías? Perhaps actually my hesitation with the plural there is an indication of its inappropriateness: I don't know whether I would pluralize it in the Greek way or in the English way – so it is patently not English and therefore does not belong in the English Wikipedia (loanwords tend to take on English pluralizaion forms after they have been naturalised, so we would have apostasia and the natural English plural apostasias and probably erroneously but likely apostasiae. There are a few like Naïvety that some users retain the diacritical marks on, or récherché, but then that second is a false friend anyway.) Si Trew (talk) 22:28, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Savage Garden Album2

Bears little connection to the target such that it could be easily confused with Affirmation, Savage Garden's second album, or just left people confused, since it's not specific enough, hence, delete. Jinkinson talk to me 04:18, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not mentioned at target, nor any variation "Album 2", "album 2" etc. The lede starts "The Savage Garden is the second studio album by the rock music band".... and I am quite aware of the affinity between the cardinal number 2 and the ordinal number "second", but I shouldn't have to teach the band Peano's axioms. The article is entirely {{unreferenced}} not even wossit the music equivalent of an ISBN. So that is dodgy in itself as far as WP:RS goes. . Not notable. Self-published with a recording session? Not mentioned in article, not relevant, it should go. Is it WP:PROMO?; an extensive external search leads me back to here but not to any record publisher etc. Si Trew (talk) 12:32, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete with extreme prejudice. The target Jinkinson mentioned should also go by the same reasoning. I did some searching around but this is, I think (I could be very wrong and am happy to be disproved), essentially self-published and comes under WP:N and WP:BAND and WP:RS and WP:V. Neither of the articles is referenced; one has none, the second has one which refers to the first. I can't find any record label that publishes this, hence my opinion it is self-published and so perhaps just WP:PROMO. Si Trew (talk) 12:47, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
