• Wallis and Fortuna → Wallis and Futuna  ( links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

Per WP:R#DELETE criteria 2: it may cause confusion. The name of the place is "Wallis and Futuna" and "Wallis and Fortuna" is simply an error, and not a common one. The only page that linked to it (before I fixed the link) was List of butterflies of Wallis and Futuna, which mistakenly used Fortuna throughout the whole article. This is the problem with having an error like this redirect to the article: editors wont realise they have remembered the name wrong because the link will still work. Liam987 talk 15:19, 19 April 2015 (UTC) reply

• Keep, plausible error because of the similar pronunciation and the fact that "fortuna" sounds more familiar than "futuna". I see various Google Books and Google News hits for "Wallis and Fortuna". It can be marked as {{ r from incorrect name}} so hopefully it can be checked for incoming links. Siuenti ( talk) 22:39, 19 April 2015 (UTC) reply
• Keep, I get 450,000 ghits searching for "Wallis and Fortuna." That shows me that it's a common error to make so we should keep it to aid navigation. PS: It should be tagged as an {{ R from misspelling}}. Tavix |  Talk  23:08, 19 April 2015 (UTC) reply

• Comment. @ Tavix:, I've tagged it thus. I tend to do that as part of the discussion, and say so without prejudice, because if others decide to delete it, then it wasted me 20 seconds to tag it, and I can afford 20 seconds (except in a Taxi): but if we decide to keep it, once it's closed it tends to get forgotten. But your opinion may be different from mine. Si Trew ( talk) 04:38, 20 April 2015 (UTC) reply

• Keep. I used this redirect myself a few weeks ago. I'd say {{ R from misspelling}} is the better tag as it's not a different name for the subject only a different (incorrect) spelling of the correct one. Thryduulf ( talk) 14:42, 20 April 2015 (UTC) reply

Done. The article was created quite recently (January 2014) and moved from the incorrect name on 17 April 2015, leaving this redirect. I guess the author, @ YUL89YYZ:, just got the middle name wrong when writing it: and the edit history says it was moved).

In contrast to Wallis and Fortuna, this one only gives me ~2000 ghits and it looks like most of them refer to other people (e.g. Facebook profiles, an obit of someone who died in 2012, etc.).

Deletion: the county never existed and no reliable source mentions it. Borsoka ( talk) 04:01, 19 April 2015 (UTC) reply

• Weak delete. Not because it is wrong (@ Borsoka:'s argument) but because I can't see this being helpful to most English speakers with the accent on Milvány, so they will never search that way. I can type that as I am on a Hungarian keyboard layout, that has a dedicated key for it, but I think you can get it on an English one with AltGr+A: but it seems a veryy unlikely search term. That being said, it does no harm. Si Trew ( talk) 06:55, 19 April 2015 (UTC) reply

It's also misleading because Csesznek is now in Hungary and Milvány → Hida, Sălaj in Romania (I presume after the Treaty of Trianon) so they could never possibly be a county. Si Trew ( talk) 07:02, 19 April 2015 (UTC) reply

Indeed I am right, the article says it was in Doboka County but that was abolished in 1876, that article is very much a stub, so no point redirecting it there, I presume the counties were reorganised somehow. Under the Treaty of Trianon it was handed from the Kingdom of Hungary to Romania. I can't find it on the 1886 map here, for which I updated to make a four colour map some years ago(actually it's five if you are picky and say Lake Balaton is a fifth colour, but you can colour it lilac if you wanted). Anyway it's not on there. Si Trew ( talk) 07:05, 19 April 2015 (UTC) reply

@ Si Trew:, sorry, I do not understand the above remarks. What county was located where and when? Why do we speak of the Treaty of Trianon and Doboka County??? This county (the "County of Csesznek and Milvány") never existed - I may be stupid, but I thought that this fact is the proper argumentation for deleting it. Borsoka ( talk) 08:30, 19 April 2015 (UTC) reply

@ Borsoka: indeed, I think we're agreed that it is wrong. It is whether it is useful to an English-speaking audience'. I don't think it is, bot others might chime in with external references etc saying it is. There is a difference between wrong and useful: I would have thought the whole point of an encylopaedia is for someone who is intelligent but ignorant to look up and search something they didn't know, and learn something. When I don't know something I look in a reference book, what do you do? Si Trew ( talk) 08:56, 19 April 2015 (UTC) reply

@ Si Trew:, sorry, I still do not understand your approach. How could a redirect page about a never existing county be useful to anybody? Could I create a redirect page Budapest, Tolbuhin-körúti Vásárcsarnok (Viking god and Orthodox church), because I think it can be useful? Borsoka ( talk) 09:15, 19 April 2015 (UTC) reply

@ Borsoka: because people hear something and then search for it. As James Thurber said in Fables for Our Time, don't get it right, just get it written. Erroneous terms are fine, it is whether it is useful. I said so right at the top of this. But sometimes things are wrong but useful. I did my homework, I supplied a map of the counties of Hungary, explained why, looked up the articles, what more do you want? Si Trew ( talk) 09:54, 19 April 2015 (UTC) reply

I have created this redirect page erroneously. Since the original article has been deleted there is no point in retaining the redirect page. I second deletion.-- Csesznekgirl ( talk) 09:32, 19 April 2015 (UTC) reply

Delete. There's nothing wrong with sheet music, are you going WP:PROMO then? I don't know much about music but the first thing that popped into my mind is it was some kind of minor chord, but we don't have flood chord if that is some musical term, but doesn't seem to be.

• Another thing to think about when it comes to redirects is that Wikipedia does have a search feature that displays relevant results. Would a redirect get in the way of that? I find that using Wikipedia's search feature more as one would use Google could be more beneficial at times than having a redirect. Redirects can therefore be harmful if, especially in the case of new users, it's not clear that one can simply research that phrase using Wikipedia's search feature without being taken directly to a page that someone decided it should point to.

• Delete. We don't have the chords for any of the songs listed on that dab page, so a user searching for that will not be helped. My first thought was not musical though, but fluvial - assuming it was something to do with flood relief channels (artificial), or perhaps channels that flow only during flood in a braided river. Searching seems to suggest though that this is not a term in widespread use and so wouldn't make a good redirect here. Thryduulf ( talk) 15:28, 20 April 2015 (UTC) reply
