August 17

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on August 17, 2015.

Wikipedia:Destiny

WP:CNR with no association to functions of Wikipedia. Steel1943 (talk) 07:08, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but change back to what it was supposed to be, a redirect to Project Destiny for technical reasons that was changed for no clear reason-- SonicAD (talk) 07:14, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

'nam

Weak retarget to Nam, but I doubt its a plausible search term, whatever it means - TheChampionMan1234 04:42, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep it is American English slang for Vietnam; and very plausible search term. Possibly retarget to the disambiguation page, because it could be the country or the Vietnam War. -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 05:43, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Translation attribution

Delete WP:XNR to an unused (no transclusions) userfied template. As it is userfied it shouldn't still appear from TemplateSpace -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 04:39, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Vice President of the Czech Republic

I think this redirect is confusing. The target doesn't mention a "vice president of the Czech Republic" and I wasn't able to verify if that's actually a position. -- Tavix (talk) 04:07, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Foogle

There are several reasons why this redirect is not helpful, and could actually cause harm. For one, its target is so notable that getting the first letter incorrect in the title is very unlikely; the amount of page views in the last few days is very minimal. For two, several domain names using this word have been registered by companies other than Google; this redirect being in place gives readers the false expectation that "Foogle" and "Google" are directly related. And lastly, if this redirect exists for a long period of time, since third party web sites sometimes use Wikipedia to create mirrors of redirects, these sites could unintentionally start to mislead readers into thinking that the terms are one in the same; I mean, to this very day, thanks to a bad redirect towards Nintendo, several Wikipedia mirrors are stuck believing that the term Hujk refers to "Nintendo" since it targeted Nintendo for 7 years. Steel1943 (talk) 04:06, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Foogle (disambiguation)

There are no instances of the word "Foogle" on the target page. This redirect's existence could lead the reader to believe that Wikipedia has multiple article subjects named "Foogle" as its actual spelling, which it doesn't. (The only subject we currently have is a misspelling'.) Steel1943 (talk) 03:52, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Malaixiya

Not related to Chinese. GZWDer (talk) 05:57, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • This topic has an affinity for Chinese, per the large minority population. See my other rationales for deleting non-English redirects based on non-affinity, and many other people's as well. -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 05:08, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Soda drinking

WP:NOTHOWTO. That, and Soda is a disambiguation page, and I really don't feel like drinking baking soda. Steel1943 (talk) 00:36, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. --Rubbish computer 01:57, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep A "Soda" when used as a name for a drink in ordinary English at least in the NE United States does mean a soft drink; it's alternative use when in conjunction with an alcoholic drink name, is "Club soda" or "Seltzer" or soda water" -- in all cases it refers to the production of a bubbly drink by dissolving sodium bicarbonate in water (or nowadays by pumping CO2 into water) . For examples of the usage see Google books for "give me a soda" DGG ( talk ) 20:59, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per Steel1943's reply to DGG. Also, drinking baking soda would probably be exceptionally bad, both because of the violent reaction that would be experienced with one's stomach acids, and also because it's not a liquid. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 02:35, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Finite module

"Finite module" could mean a module that is finite as a set. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 00:13, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, keeping the redirect and adding a "see also" sounds like a good solution, assuming the finitely generated module meaning is dominant. mathrick (talk) 11:26, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fallout redirects

It pains me to do this, since I love Fallout, but none of these concepts are mentioned at the target article. And since they're concepts present in multiple Fallout games, retargeting to just one of them doesn't make much sense to me. --BDD (talk) 01:56, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Musad'afin

Suggesting deletion. Apparently it's some sort of Islamic term, but I don't think it's a plausible redirect to "weak". Howicus (Did I mess up?) 00:07, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - It looks like "Musadafin"/"Mustad'afin"/etc translates to something like "those who are oppressed", "those who are kept down", "the downtrodden", and so on. The redirect that we have now just isn't right at all. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 00:28, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Https en.wikipedia.org wiki Main Page

Unlikely search term, why not just type "main page". - TheChampionMan1234 00:05, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
