April 26

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on April 26, 2015.

Man of the Philippines

Delete as an implausible search term and confusing: I originally thought this was an award or a competition. Tavix  Talk  18:51, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

반달리즘

Delete. Vandalism is not Korea-specific. Gorobay (talk) 15:28, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled-Vijay-Prabhudeva Project

This project is no longer untitled... Tavix  Talk  03:22, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Orth Twitter incident

Unhelpful redirect because the subject isn't mentioned at the targeted article. Tavix  Talk  02:36, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nippleman

There is no significant connection between this term and Metallica. Tavix  Talk  02:01, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Late Quaternary

The article does not say anything about Late Quaternary A8v (talk) 22:41, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep unless anyone can come up with a better target. I don't think we have much to say about the Late Quaternary period; readers will find relevant information at the Quaternary article. — This, that and the other (talk) 04:24, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as above: every boy is fascinated with dinosaurs and some of the best were in this period, I think it is a likely search term. It's a pity we don't have a separate article, but what we have is as good as it gets right now untill some paleaontologist decides to edit Wikipedia. WP:NOTFINISHED, WP:NOTPERFECT. It ususally gets a couple of hits a day lately though in march there was a bit of a rise peaking on 10 March it got 12, then falling off in the days after, perhaps something on the telly? But this definitely gets hits above noise level so to delete it would be harmful. Si Trew (talk) 07:48, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; Quaternary is a broader topic, which includes Late Quaternary, even though it doesn't specifically mention it. This redirect isn't misleading anyone, and creating eight redlinks wouldn't help anyone. Perhaps someone with knowledge in the field can advise whether "Late Quaternary" is a recognised term, or if the linking articles would be better coded as "late Quaternary". I've raised this question at WT:WikiProject_Geology#Terminology. Colonies Chris (talk) 08:27, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Extinct bird dodo

A redirect that is not of much use A8v (talk) 22:25, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as harmless. It gets hits, sometimes as many as four a day. That is four people in the entire world who found this a useful search term on that day. We're kinda defeated a little by the WP search engine plugin in that they may have just selected it that way, but it's harmless. It's not a great number, but I think four is better than zero. Si Trew (talk) 07:52, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It's accurate enough. Plausible search term as kind of a reversed dab "Dodo (extinct bird)". 野狼院ひさし u/t/c 11:50, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Former Turkish Province Of Yunanistan

Delete. "Yunanistan" is the Turkish for "Greece" (cf. tr:Yunanistan) but Greece has never been a Turkish province. It was (excluding the Ionian Islands) part of the Ottoman Empire (of which Turkey is the modern successor state) - see Ottoman Greece for the main article on this period of Greek history. The Administrative divisions of the Ottoman Empire fluctuated but based on our articles, there was no single province covering the modern concept of Greece. Those parts of the territory now forming Greece that were part of the Ottoman Empire were included in at least the following divisions: Pashalik of Yanina, Morea Eyalet, Salonica Eyalet, Ottoman Crete and Eyalet of Adrianople, most of which also covered land not in contemporary Greece. This, along with Google results, suggests that "Former Turkish Province of Yunanistan" is not a term used outside of a few discussions concerning Turkish Irredentism and/or suggestions to sell Greece to Turkey to pay off the former's debt (nothing even approaching a reliable source that I've found). There exists also the FTPOY acronym, a redirect that has been separately nominated at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 April 24#FTPOY and that was how I discovered this redirect.
