The result of the discussion was accept new targetNakhchivan (city). This is a slightly involved closure as I closed the DRV and relisted this debate, but the clear consensus is that the new target is viable. There is no consensus on whether to preserve attribution by restoring the deleted revisions. Because the target has changed, there is no overriding reason to restore the revisions, so I'll leave the log untouched.

Retarget per Uanfala. The original target was
the republic, where "Naxuana" is also mentioned. But the citations quoted there speak of the "city", so the city is the best target for
Naxuan. Because
Naxuana also redirects there, that will be consistent. —

Actually it was tagged correctly, but apparently after it was already placed on one of the master lists of Neelix-created redirects for speedy deletion. If consensus here is to recreate or retarget it, any user in good standing may do so.

I've recreated the redirect. That doesn't feel like the most proper thing to do, but it's proving to be much less bother than having it undeleted. –

Restore deleted revisions per
WP:RUD and speedy retarget per Uanfala. Nominator didn't suggest an action and no others have been suggested; should be a
WP:SNOW case. Regarding attribution, my feeling is that this particular redirect is sufficiently creative to require crediting the original creator, and also their contribution was deleted somewhat out of process, so we ought to presume copyright applies.

I disagree. Making a redirect from a translation isn't creative enough to require attribution, and if it's restored, it makes the X1 situation possible again since it was originally created by Neelix. I know there are a couple people making another sweep through his contributions, restoring this will add it back there. The status quo would prevent that from happening. --

The X1 injunction only applies where a redirect hasn't been subsequently edited by another human editor. Because we have RfD + re-creation + RfD closure (likely retarget) this should not reappear on the X1 cleanup list, assuming the list was programmed correctly.
Deryck C.10:52, 18 November 2016 (UTC)reply
I'm talking about Neelix's contribution list, which isn't editable and will reappear there should the redirect be restored. --

Also, the instructions at
WP:X1 don't mention anything about whether or not another editor has edited it. I agree with your interpretation, but others might not. --

Restore deleted revisions per Ivanvector. I don't know if digging up the ancient name of a city requires attribution, but it certainly doesn't hurt, provided Deryck's observation holds true. –

Keep as is. An editor in good standing and good faith has recreated the redirect. That should've resolved all problems and we could've been done here. Uanfala had to dig this issue out of the grave by taking this to deletion review over an incorrectly applied CSD tag, which means we're now debating whether or not the redirect should be restored? This is one petty issue after another, but I'll play along... --

I'm slightly contrite for having become the cause of all that. When the G4 tag was placed, I couldn't persuade the nominator that it was inapplicable so I reckoned the redirect was likely to get deleted (I regularly see speedy deletions that are much more wildly off than that) and I imagined it would get stuck in a loop of getting deleted again every time it was recreated. I thought the delrev would put the matter to rest and possibly give us a chance to examine the two (questionable, in my opinion) practices that are the root of this situation: speedy deleting pages that are under discussion and closing discussions as "speedy delete" when no participant has supported the deletion. Well, the delrev achieved neither and instead has apparently locked us into another catch-22. –

If the redirect were to be deleted, the next step would be talking with the deleting admin to explain to them why the tag was inapplicable. You jumped the gun twice by taking it to DRV before that could even happen, which turned the molehill into a mountain. I know you had the best of intentions, and I'm not faulting you for that or trying to point fingers, I'm just calling what I observed. Back to the root of the problem, you mentioned that you don't want the deletion of this redirect to happen again, and I'm taking that stance by wanting to keep it as-is. By restoring the redirect so that Neelix is the creator, there stands a chance that this redirect could be deleted again via
WP:X1. I'm trying to prevent that from happening by saying let's leave it as it is. --

No opinion on the actual deletion, but I do need to take responsibility for the X1 mixup. I had tagged the redirect for Beeblebrox after thinking about it for a couple of seconds, and failing to find the text in the target article. I did not realize that this discussion was going on when I tagged it. My apologies for the error.

1166 Neelix redirects on Vermont Representative Districts

talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
Neelix Redirects using the same template for Vermont Representative Districts. Full list follows. I have not tagged them all individually, because of the quantities involved. Some of these redirects are good, but the quantity is excessive. Where exactly to draw the line between helpful and excessive is the question I bring to RFD.
The first chunk of these redirects, so people can see the formatting:
Keepallonly the ones with District in the title - all appear to be correct hyphenation variations pointing at the correct targets, and I see no pressing harm caused by any of these (none are plausibly ambiguous with other targets, for example). Or if they are, nom hasn't said so.

Delete the ones that are just Location Number or Location Hyphen Number since these are potentially confusing, particularly when a lot of local city government projects, city streets, et cetera are known as something like Edge City One or such. Keep the rest of them since they seem useful.

@
Deryck Chan: Yes, I do. The way I would do it is: First, I would copy the list from the edit screen (so you have the brackets) and paste it into
Excel. I would then apply a text filter (in the data tab), use "does not contain" and the string "district", which would leave only the lines that do not have the word district in it. After that, I would copy the list, paste it to
my delete box, and save. Then, I'd use Twinkle's
d-batch tool to perform the actual deletion. I wasn't sure if you simply wanted to know a way to do it, or wanted me to do it for you. I'd be content either way, just let me know. --

Delete (added: all) per nom. We don't delete CamelCase redirects that existed during the time that Wikipedia operated on CamelCase, but it hasn't for 14 years and there is no need to create new CamelCase redirects.

Delete the redirect "Timeline of the Presidents of the United States" but contents keep on "Lifespan timeline of the United States". The contents are clearly about the lifespan timeline of the presidents, that leads me to change the article name from "Timeline of the Presidents of the United States" to "Lifespan timeline of the United States" and the change of name was undisputed. ~Manila's PogingJuan10:01, 18 November 2016 (UTC)reply

Keep coverage has increased to daily mentions in the last few months, as mentioned above. But even before that, it has been receiving regular coverage since
at least 2011. The link
WP:PTM provided by the nominator seems to only apply to disambiguation pages. Is there any sort of precedence concerning that guideline being applied to the deletion of redirects?

Where in Wikipedia are these topics discussed? If there truly are other notable topics on Wikipedia known as Section 18C, this should be disambiguated. If we can't do that, it needs to be kept as is. --

Delete, creator endorsed It took me a few minutes to remember why I created it...but I did; it was
part of a joke made during the
2014 Golden Globe Awards which I thought made this a plausible redirect, but it obviously didn't get that much beyond the day the joke was made, so I would happily endorse deletion on this lead balloon gag. Nate•(

Comment - I'm not sure about the issue, but I encourage
Tim Cruz to be nominated for deletion. My instinct is that he's not notable. There's a District Attorney named Timothy J. Cruz who appears, to me, to be the most notable individual associated with "Tim Cruz" (a lot of people in the U.S. seem to have this name).

I was going to suggest redirecting it to the team that Danick plays for. But according to
this database he seems to change teams at least once a year, so just deleting it may be the better option.
