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. —

To me this doesn't seem like a useful redirect. Why would anyone write "UEFA mafia" instead of just "UEFA"?

- Comment plausible search term, 600+ hits on Google News within quotes and 36k without; 47k and 495k respectively on the regular Google search. Possibly retarget to the currently sparse-looking
UEFA#Corruption and controversy, where relevant information could be included.

Delete per
WP:RNEUTRAL. Redirects from non-neutral terms need to be sourced at the target article, and we don't have that here. --

- Comment I understand your concerns. 'Nonsense' is "spoken or written words that have no meaning or make no sense". I don't feel this applies. Per
WP:RNEUTRAL, "Perceived lack of neutrality in redirect names is therefore not a sufficient reason for their deletion". I have added sourcing from BBC, AP, Guardian and Eurosport, which I hope would fall under
WP:RS. @
Laberkiste,
Tavix, and
GiantSnowman: Any other objections?

- Comment. I tend to write "
WP:RFD#D5 nonsense" as a shorthand since D5 says "the redirect makes no sense", but that's using nonsense in the dictionary sense you give above (and I also link to the policy, so there's no doubt), which I don't think is GiantSnowman's meaning here. Before your additions, I'd have been more inclined to say it fell under
WP:RFD#D2 confusing, not at target. But not now.

it. @

- Keep. Not only is this plausible but RNEUTRAL says the exact opposite of what Tavix implies above. Redirects are deliberately held to a lower standard of neutrality than article content or main titles.

- 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. --

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.

- 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.

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}}

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?

WP:XY.
Pocket is an application which released a
Windows version in 2013, called "Pocket Windows". But that release is not inherently notable, it definitely shouldn't redirect to the OS, and there are other things that this is ambiguous with.

Windows Mobile running on a
Pocket PC device", but this does not seem to have been a common usage even when the platform was current. Since there are other more plausible possibilities, this should be deleted.

- 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.
