This redirect was originally created as part of User:Kratie222's Erina language hoax. Through a path I can't fully follow it was retargeted to Burushaski. I bring it here in hope that someone more knowledgeable than can determine it is a legitimate code or a continuation of the vandalism. — teb728 t c 22:50, 11 April 2016 (UTC) reply

As you see bsk doesn't, I must have gone through the automatic case matching. I don't see any great need to create it. Si Trew ( talk) 14:05, 14 April 2016 (UTC) reply

UEFA mafia

The result of the discussion was no consensus. Refined to UEFA#Corruption and controversy. -- BDD ( talk) 21:31, 18 April 2016 (UTC) reply

To me this doesn't seem like a useful redirect. Why would anyone write "UEFA mafia" instead of just "UEFA"? Laber□ T 13:44, 1 April 2016 (UTC) reply

I agree with you that there is a lower standard, but there still needs to be some standard. I believe WP:RNEUTRAL supplies that standard in the last paragraph: "redirects that are not established terms and are unlikely to be useful...may be nominated for deletion." In this case, sources have been added to prove that it's an established term, so I have stricken my !vote. -- Tavix ( talk) 14:38, 4 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Zelena Stranka

The result of the discussion was delete. -- BDD ( talk) 21:30, 18 April 2016 (UTC) reply

This redirect has been incorrect from the very first version. Zelena Stranka, or the Green Party (Serbia) (currently without a Wikipedia article, but with a website at http://www.zelenastranka.rs), has never been the same as Zeleni Srbije, or the Greens of Serbia (website: http://www.zelenisrbije.org/). All subsequent versions were inappropriate as an article.
Without a proper target to redirect to, there's only two things we can do here: create an appropriate article on Green Party (Serbia), or delete this redirect. PanchoS ( talk) 13:21, 1 April 2016 (UTC) reply

  • I don't see how a non-Serbian speaker would expect to get to a different party by typing this in. I can understand why they might type in an English translation such as "Greens of Serbia" or " Serbian Greens" or " Serbian Green Party" or something similar and not be sure which green party of Serbia they wanted; but if they type (or copy-paste) the Serbian name, I think it's reasonable to assume that they want the article about the party of that name and not another one; it's very important not to misinform them if they are unaware of the distinction. I think that's more likely that a Serbian speaker would get confused than a non-Serbian; but Serbian WP doesn't have an article on sr:Зелена странка either: in fact, it was speedily deleted on 6 May 2007, within an hour of its creation. Si Trew ( talk) 03:21, 12 April 2016 (UTC) reply
  • delete It would be one thing to redirect a translation, but redirecting a transliteration of one party to the other is plainly wrong. Mangoe ( talk) 18:39, 13 April 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Per the above, the redirect is nonsense, since it redirects to a party with which they aren't affiliated. Joseph2302 ( talk) 07:31, 17 April 2016 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was restore, move, and send to AfD. I'm using the IP's proposed title and will link back here. -- BDD ( talk) 18:46, 19 April 2016 (UTC) reply

I don't normally nominate {{ R with history}} redirects for deletion, but this one is an exception for a reason. The edit history of this redirect shows it to contain a topic which it seems as though Wikipedia currently doesn't have an article: interpretation's dictionary definition ( WP:NOTDIC.) For this reason, this edit history seems to represent neither its current target, nor any other page listed on the disambiguation page. For this reason, the edit history on this page does not seem to need to be retained since it does not correlate with any existing article's subject. As a functional redirect, it's misleading as a odd "version 2" redirect. For these reasons, I think this redirect should either be deleted or weak restore and send to WP:AFD (for a discussion to delete the contents of the page.)

Really a procedural listing; see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 April 7#Oeuvre. I'm only listing so it doesn't get missed; it would be perverse to differently for this than what we do for that, but it's four days apart, so I hesitate to combine (don't mind if someone else does). In the meantime marking as {{ R from misspelling}}. Si Trew ( talk) 18:31, 11 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Work of Art

The result of the discussion was boldly disambiguated by User:Cnilep. ( non-admin closure) by Si Trew ( talk) 23:01, 12 April 2016 (UTC) reply

I think it's a WP:SURPRISE that this is not a redirect as {{ R from other capitalization}} to Work of art. Work of art has three hatnotes, but this isn't in any of them; I think it cries out to Çreate a DAB together with the hatnotes at the top of Work of art. I imagine making a DAB is fairly uncontentions, but do we make it at Work of Art (this redirect) or Work of art (disambiguation)? (It wouldn't make sense to have the DAB proper at Work of Art (disambiguation) unless this was retargeted to Work of art). Five links in article space; one at least Polly Morgan is wrong (I'll fix that so it makes four). Until this edit of 5 October 2015 by User:Jax 0677 it targeted Work of Art: The Next Great Artist. Si Trew ( talk) 18:22, 11 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Chicano was wrong; should have been changed to The Next Great when retargeted; Michael Leavitt (artist) and NewNowNext_Awards#Nominees, left only Publishers Weekly list of bestselling novels in the United States in the 1930s, which I have turned into a redlink (to Work of Art (book)) by Sinclair Lewis; it is that target but only as a list entry (maybe create a {{ R to list entry}} to there?) And then there were none. Si Trew ( talk) 19:12, 11 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete, another batch of "untitled" redirects to targets that do have titles and have no significant history. These are unneeded and could cause confusion. -- Tavix ( talk) 17:47, 11 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete: No evidence that any Microsoft product was ever named or nicknamed "Pocket Windows". There are no hits in the microsoft.com or msdn.com domains. Also "Pocket Window" is a term used for a type of window (the kind that houses have, not the kind that computers have). See Wikipedia:Reference desk/Computing#What is Pocket Windows? Guy Macon ( talk) 12:47, 11 April 2016 (UTC) reply

This is purely navel-gazing but I was a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional when Microsoft first tried to introduce handheld devices with Windows CE. (That is, someone who uses Microsoft products but does not work for them and is not expected to agree with them: the award comes without warning and you get lots of free stuff, but genuinely they don't want you to agree with them, they want to hear your views of how their product sucks.) I never heard the term "Windows Pocket" even as insider slang. Unless the trade press started using this term, it seems to me unlikely to refer to the platform rather than a particular application. Considering that Microsoft's vision was "A computer on every desktop", something they pretty much achieved, I could imagine that their vision changed to "Windows in every pocket", or some such, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
