Another attempt to create a 3-letter shortcut for something that doesn't have any true meaning to the target nor need one since {{Album}} already exists, serves the same purpose and is much more logical. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me21:19, 24 April 2018 (UTC)reply
Keep - "Alu" are three letters in the word "album". This TfD is extremely similar to the
2013 RfD about Template:Cop and the
2014 RfD about Template:wprk, which I am incorporating by reference for the sake of brevity. There are several templates like this, such as {{Tb}} which is not about tuburculosis, {{pot}} which is not about cannabis, {{hat}} which is not about headwear, etc.
WP:R#D8 does not apply as this is not an article space redirect.
WP:R#D2 does not apply as confusion is less likely to occur in other name spaces.
"Unless a WikiProject [or anyone else, for that matter] has actually expressed interest in usurping [these redirects], I don't see [them] doing any harm." To date, no other use for {{alu}} has been suggested at all. Per
WP:R#KEEP, "If someone says they find a redirect useful, they probably do".
"Alleged confusion is not very plausible at all. So absent evidence of any harm there is no reason to delete."
"There seems to be no evidence of confusion, and no argument grounded in WP:R. Laziness is the exact purpose of redirects, to be perfectly honest, and the creator of a useful redirect that saves one or two characters should be commended. We don't delete redirects based merely on conjecture. Someone obviously found these useful given they were created."
"One of the lowest things one can do is steal another mans tools. So you have no use for it. That it's being used is good enough, and there is zero reason to take away something that has no higher use. Such Nominators should be required to be the one to hand edit and remove any deleted tags."
"
Redirects are not only cheap but this is a redirect from and to template namespace. That would tend to indicate to me that anyone using it is an editor rather than a general reader and they are hardly likely to get it confused. There are lots of little abbreviated things pulled up over the years such as {{
tlc}} or {{
tlx}} or whatever as useful
shorthand for editors."

Delete the trillion dollar bill is barely mentioned in the article, it's about the Simpsons episode. I mean there is some information about the trillion dollar bill but it's very little. There is not even a paragraph of information.

There was a scaling of 10^12 to 1 (trillion to one) for Paper money of the fourth dollar (ZWL) so I suppose Trillion Dollars would have suited that section.

Delete, singular moments from a Simpsons episode make for bad redirects, moments that mean something outside of the context of the show doubly so.

I get that, but when people search "trillion dollar bill", they expect to find information about a trillion dollar bill, which the article on the episode has very little info on.

What kind of information do you want? The article includes such information as: ...to try to obtain a trillion dollar bill..., ..printed a one trillion-dollar bill..., ...asks to see the trillion-dollar bill..., and ...pitched the idea of the trillion-dollar bill... --

Alright, I admit it I was wrong. I never should have made this nomination, now I feel like such a moron for doing it in the first place. It probably is too late to withdraw the nomination now as it's close to ending, but yeah I regret it.

Delete - no evidence that this is either a logical search term, and nothing to suggest any reliable source relevant to either sailing or period sailing vessels includes this as a common phrase. --

This is an absurdly obscure reference (I believe this is on a sign in homer's fantasy) that nobody's ever going to type in, let alone in this format. 16 views in over 8 years.

I believe this redirect should be deleted. This redirect is not commonly used and the name "Toronto Conservatory of Music" has not been used since the 1940's and since then it is now known as "The Royal Conservatory of Music". This previous name is explained and expanded upon within The Royal Conservatory's Wiki page. This is now a historic name/term and is not a well-known name for The Royal Conservatory of Music. — Preceding

The title "List of members of the National People's Congress" means a specific,comprehansive list of members of the National People's Congress of PRC instead of a redirect to a specific term(eg.11th or 12th).Also,the current term of NPC is the 13th(See
National People's Congress and
13th National People's Congress).It might not suitable to perserve the redirect.

Well your idea might be a helpful solution.However there are some problems about the article you've linked above-The article
List of current standing members of the National People's Congress is a list of standing members of the NPC.However just as I've said,"List of members of the National People's Congress" is a list of members of the NPC,not standing members.If it is redirected to that article,it might not accurate.(Besides,that article is not accurate as well because it shows the information of the 12th term of standing members of the NPC.The latest one is on
Chinese Wikipedia.)So maybe we can delete that redirect and create a disambiguation page or "list of lists"of "List of members of the National People's Congress".--

I drafted a list of lists under the redirect, with "see also" links to the lists on Chinese Wikipedia as they have lists for all 13 National People's Congresses.

Doesn't seem to offer much benefit, and probably leads to the risk of some poor typo-prone anti-vandalism patroller accidentally transcluding that whole target onto some vandal's talk page.
