This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on September 15, 2014.

Ukrainian Coup

Ukrainian Coup → 2014 Ukrainian revolution (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

This is nothing but an attack page. It is not used by reliable sources to refer to these events, other than by some WP:FRINGE sources that we don't cater to. This redirect is implausible. RGloucester — ☎ 02:53, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The descriptions in the PROD request tag and the nomination above are incorrect. This is a commonly used term to refer to the events in Ukraine in early 2014. There are over 1 million hits on google for Ukrainian coup - many of them in reliable sources. There have also been numerous discussions on the Ukrainian Revolution page with regards to the name of that article with substantial support (but alas no consensus) for a change. A re-direct from Ukrainian coup to 2014 Ukrainian revolution seems like an obvious solution to this issue. Certainly this isn't an attack page due to the masses of sources that refer to this event by this name. I'll also point out that this re-direct has been in existence for 5 months (created 14 April 14). Also i'm not sure that Prod is the way forward for this - maybe it should go through the whole AFD process.

Еmperor of Bulgaria

Еmperor of Bulgaria → List of Bulgarian monarchs (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Note that this begins with a Cyrillic character. - The ChampionMan 1234 00:49, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

徐穹

徐穹 → Seoul (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Not a valid name in any language, neither [1] or [2] finds anything relevant - The ChampionMan 1234 00:43, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Seeing the old name Seorabeol/徐羅伐 in Seoul, I wonder if this is some obscure/deprecated hanja form for "Seoul", because they both start with Seo- (for the 徐 character?). 野狼院ひさし _{Hisashi Yarouin} 01:49, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Spanje

Spanje → Spain (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Not especially Dutch. - The ChampionMan 1234 00:35, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tokei

Tokei → Tokyo (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

This appears to mean "clock" in Japanese, but I don't see how it could be linked to Tokyo. - The ChampionMan 1234 00:30, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep According to Tokyo#Etymology, it was called Tokei during the Meiji period.--Lenticel ^(talk) 01:28, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Lenticel. See also wikt:京, which lists kei as a possible reading (kan'on) for the character. 野狼院ひさし _{Hisashi Yarouin} 01:56, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Johall Bal

Johall Bal → Johor Bahru (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Does not appear to be a valid alternative name, see "Johall+Bal"&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=rcs&start=10 - The ChampionMan 1234 00:26, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Uniquely Penang

Uniquely Penang → Penang (links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/delete ]

Some random advertising slogan which isn't mentioned in the target, plus an unlikely search term. - The ChampionMan 1234 00:23, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
