- Best I could quickly figure out Rigips is the main supplier of gypsum cement board in Germany, just as Gyproc is the original/main brand of drywall in Canada, so likely the trademark has become the generic term. This is en Wikipedia though, and english speakers would not know the brand name Rigips. If it went red someone might profile what is likely a notable company.

- Not just all over the Internet, but all over Wikipedia too, if we're not careful.
- The only redirect actually in use is
Fedor Terentjev (in three articles:
Cross-country skiing at the 1956 Winter Olympics – Men's 30 kilometres,
Cross-country skiing at the 1956 Winter Olympics – Men's 50 kilometres and
Cross-country skiing at the 1956 Winter Olympics – Men's 4 × 10 kilometre relay). (I am pretty sure that the other Olympic years in which he's linked directly e.g.
Cross-country skiing at the 1936 Winter Olympics – Men's 4 × 10 km relay are just via the
{{
Footer Olympic Champions XC Relay Men}}
template.)
- So I think, for now, we should Keep
Fedor Terentjev because this is the article discussing what his bio said he competed in, so perhaps that is how it was spelled by the Olympic committee. But Delete by default all not mentioned in this discussion as
WP:RFD#D2 confusing. I'll check stats for any outliers, and also try to find out if it's just a spelling mistake or an official transliteration for the '56 Olympics.

Weak keep all the other Terentievs as somewhat-plausible mistaken transcriptions (ть always gets mangled; the official romanisation systems have it as t' which looks absurd and so individuals with it in their names always use ad hoc spellings). Delete all the eye-dialect "Tsyar" spellings, the German-style transcriptions with "w", the Cyrillic-with-accents which is never used in the real world, etc. per Si Trew.

Fedor Terentyev (which is a Neelix redirect) as harmless
cheap redirects that may aid searching. (The latter isn't getting any page views to speak of, but it's a plausible transliteration; keeping it may have minimal upside, but no downside.) Delete all the redirects with an S or a W.

Not sure. This section to which this redirects does mention

Ricardo López (boxer) (to which

Ricardo "Finito" López with the diacritical mark).
We could convert it to a DAB or hatnote the two, but it might be better just delete it, and let the search engine do it. Stats average less than one a day, with the odd peak to 6 or 8, created just under 2 years ago and no change since. Nothing outside this discussion links to it.

The term "Non-objective", while also related to abstract art, has as a primary dictionary meaning "(of a person or their judgment) influenced by personal feeling or opinions in considering and representing facts."

- Comment That's an excellent point, I go further and suggest that perhaps we ought to have more than one type of redirect. Case one — this is a real word and while we don't have an article about that specific term is another term that you may well be interested in. Case two — this isn't a real word but a plausible misspelling of a real word so we will direct you to what we believe is the appropriate article. If this were done, then re-users of Wikipedia wouldn't be contributing to turning fake words into real words.--

- We use rcats for that, to some effect ({{
R from related term}} and {{
R from typo}}) but we can't count on mirrors respecting our categories. Content farms gonna content farm.

- All words are (or were) "fake" words. This was already in use and has a clear definition.
