Neelix redirect. There is no need to disambiguate here, leaving that aside it is not in any place called Mabatic that just happens to be what the church itself is called. It is sorta harmless but I dunno. Since I have been told off for listing things at RfD when I dunno making a judgment call, I am hesitant to list this one.

- (neelix redirect) Delete but not sure why. I have taken some others to CSD but Neelix seems to have had some fetish for this singer which I am not familiar with. While technically this does no harm it only links to a non-notable discography of unpublished or at least at WP unreferenced songs and albums. Not sure. Not
{{
R to section}}
but that is easily done if decided to keep, but this is kinda a bit out of the way if you excuse the pun. It is not as if there is
The Way (2010 album) or The Way (2015 album). I would say keep as harmless {{
R from unecessary disambiguation}}
but the only thing at that tareg is a list box saying pretty much bugger all except she sung it. I thing
WP:RFD#D5 nonsense but I can't put my finger on exactly why I want it deleted.

- Comment: I second Grahame's comment. Matthews most certainly was well known by that nickname not only as a player in the 1970s, but then in his role as a coach for twenty years, and now in his current role as a television commentator. A simple Google search reveals this
Toyota TV commercial from a few years ago in which he is called "Lethal". Or one could follow the redirect and look at the article itself, in which the word appears 6 times.
- Putting that aside though, is someone going to go to the effort of typing "Lethal (footballer)" when his real name is one of the best known in Australian sport? Probably not...

It seems like a misnomer to call Crocs "plastic shoes;" the article says they're made out of a foam. From what I've read at
shoe, it seems common to make shoes at least partially out of plastic. Outside of the super broad article on shoes in general, I don't see a good retarget option.
Plastic shoe is red. --

- I've been thinking of this one in my spare time while trogging through the Neelix redirects and I can't think of a good target either. What would it mean? Do we have
leather shoes or
rubber shoes for example (no). So what we have is a thing from a material to some kind of specific shoe that may or may not be made of that material. It is most likely made of a combination of
poly-vinyl chloride
latex and various other plastics. But a Croc does not have to be made of that
Krusty Krocs aren't made of that (they are made of bread and stuff). this is just

It's a rather long and ridiculous search query. It's an orphaned useless redirect created by an inexperienced user back in 2011. It was almost immediately tagged for speedy deletion, but someone turned it into a redirect instead. I disagree with that and think it should be deleted.

WP:RFD#D5 nonense. It would be
detune anyway. (Because as the OED says de and dis are prefixes having privative force, i.e. they remove something, that is the difference between de- and un-. Something can be untuned such as my banjo but as a verb you would need to detune it, which indeed you do detune things to stop acoustic resonance, for example the
Albert Hall was detuned in that way to stop the bloody echo but still although the most wonderful place in the world to hear music for a quid during the
BBC Proms I believe they now call it, it still hasn't the resonance of many of the great concert halls, the
Sydney Opera House for example, when the architect had a better idea of acoustics than Queen Victoria did).

User:Gettingtoit back-formed the singulars from the plurals. None is actually a proper English term for anything as far as I can tell. Yes it could be a branch campus or

"Did I really go to Harvard if I got my degree taking online classes". The Atlantic. Retrieved 6 May 2016.
That makes a total mess of my argument saying it is not a real term. Well it does or doesn't. We now have an RS that this term exists in the wild, which is not much use to us because we can't RS a redirect. Now we have to decide two things
- Whether this is specifically used by Harvard's (and nobody else's)
distance learning programme, in which case delete
- Whether it would be better, if kept and the consensus is it is a real term, perhaps
distance learning would be better than the current target.

She is not a stupid woman by any means but she wants to use a computer not learn the latest user interface. She just wants to use it. I think microsoft forgot that in the race to get onto mobile devices. Their vision was "a computer on every desktop" and that worked, they lost their way when mobile phones came along.
