No mention at the target, appears to be promotional. I would suggest deletion. signed, Rosguill talk 21:30, 28 November 2019 (UTC) reply

An extremely odd and unlikely search term and a poor fit for the target. The discretionary invasive procedures described at the target are denounced as "mutilation" by advocacy groups, but this is not common usage. I would suggest deletion. signed, Rosguill talk 21:25, 28 November 2019 (UTC) reply

Article originally created by User:PaxEquilibrium as a thinly veiled personal attack towards Martti Ahtisaari on 2 September 2006, changed into a redirect by me five days later. The redirect originally had three incoming links from articles, I've fixed the spelling on all of them, so currently there are none. Delete as an implausible search term without incoming links, and to hide the personal attack. JIP | Talk 16:27, 28 November 2019 (UTC) reply

Certainly not a HGTTG-only term, more like a generic term. Should either be deleted per WP:SURPRISE or directed somewhere else. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 12:07, 28 November 2019 (UTC) reply

Delete as confusing. The act of forbidding implies a prohibition, not necessarily a veto. Currently, Forbid redirects to Forbidden, a disambiguation page with links to Wiktionary. However, the declarative (or exclamatory) statement "I forbid" is an unlikely search term (less than 10 page views this year) and has little relevance to the items listed at the disambiguation page. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 15:16, 28 October 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Weak delete- the first sentence of Veto says that it's literally the latin word for "I forbid", but your point about the low page views and inconsistency with the other similar redirects is pretty convincing. Reyk YO! 15:19, 28 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Weak delete. My first instinct was an obvious keep, because this is the literal translation of "veto", and students of Roman history might look there if they've seen it in translation. But the minuscule number of pageviews suggests that it's not a likely search term; I suspect most, if not all of them arise from readers who came across the redirect without any clear expectation of where it would lead.

Primitive Korean peninsula language

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was delete. After so many relists, this is the only other reasonable outcome. I could've fairly called "no consensus", but no one supports the status quo. There seems to be significant disagreement on what this language was, and thus no consensus to point it anywhere. This close is without prejudice to speedy restoration of the content to move it (back) to draft space. If you're interested in working on it there, I'd be happy to help. Just leave me a message. -- BDD ( talk) 18:54, 5 December 2019 (UTC) reply

I think that this redirection is incorrect. Kim Bang-han proposed that primitive Korean peninsula language looks like paleoasian language. However, many linguists now believe that peninsular Japonic were formerly spoken in central and southern parts of the Korean peninsula. Furthermore, It was hypothesized that Proto-Koreanic language is a kind of paleosiberian languages(=paleoasian language). Sugyoin ( talk) 05:35, 17 October 2019 (UTC) reply

@ Sugyoin: Ah, okay. I see now (now that you used the wording "restore it to an article") that you are not arguing for the redirect to be deleted/retargeted (as most RFDs are) but actually had created an article at that page and now want it restored. That was not at all clear to me up to this point. I suggest you withdraw this suggestion, rework it in your user space to be more clear as to what exactly you are proposing, and then repost it when it is ready. I'd be happy to assist you in doing so, if you'd like? Hijiri 88 ( やや) 09:28, 17 October 2019 (UTC) reply
My main concern was that the article is too short and weakly sourced to stand on its own, and the content would be more usefully integrated into a larger overview. No objections to merging to Peninsular Japonic instead. -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 15:05, 17 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Wine merchant

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was no consensus to delete. There seems to be agreement that there should be more content on the subject of the sale of wine, but not much agreement as to what to do with this redirect in the meantime. Some good suggestions have been proposed, but there's enough appetite for keeping as-is that I'll leave the status quo in place. Of course, feel free to resolve this issue once and for all with an article and you will have at least one grateful editor. -- Tavix ( talk) 13:48, 12 December 2019 (UTC) reply

I would like this redirection to be deleted, and a new article created (or just redlinked, for now) for wine merchant. Winemakers make wine, wine merchants sell wine; the distinction is similar to shoe maker vs. shoe seller, etc. Case in point: I was editing an article on a Swedish wine merchant, and wanted to link to an article on wine merchants, but this redirect would have resulted in the one on winemaking, which would be confusing as not much wine is made in Sweden. There is a section in the winemaker article on négociants which blurs the distinction somewhat, but IMO that could be moved to the new wine merchant article, or at least replicated in salient parts. DoubleGrazing ( talk) 07:48, 6 November 2019 (UTC) reply

DoubleGrazing, please do go ahead and create a new stub article (or more) for Wine merchant as far as I am concerned. — Jonathan Bowen ( talk) 10:24, 6 November 2019 (UTC) reply
Comment. VintnerWinemaker § Vintner, which starts "A vintner is a wine merchant" (two separate links). In the absence of a new article, perhaps this redirect should be refined to that section likewise. 94.21.219.224 ( talk) 15:41, 6 November 2019 (UTC) reply
That's a good idea, but Winemaker#Négociant starts similarly, "A négociant is ... a wine merchant who ...". -- Black Falcon ( talk) 17:24, 11 November 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Bit of a note to myself to follow up on, but leaving it here in case someone else wants to take action: Wine store redirects to Enoteca, which says it's actually about "a special type of... wine shop". Wine shop redirects to Liquor store, a broader topic (and thus more appropriate IMO). I leave this here because I would expect "Wine merchant" to go to an article about the sale of wine. I would be surprised if we could say enough about the profession of wine merchant to warrant a separate article, though I agree that the redirect as it stands is misleading. -- BDD ( talk) 23:15, 10 November 2019 (UTC) reply
    A separate article may not be warranted for profession itself (although, see Category:Sales occupations) but one could definitely be written about wine sales (or the wine industry more broadly). For now, I'll add Wine#Professions as another potential target, though if anyone can demonstrate that the profession itself merits an article, I would support deleting per WP:REDLINK. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 17:24, 11 November 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Delete (1st choice) or Soft keep with explanatory hatnote as an interim solution [see below] (2nd choice) As targeted currently, this is misleading. A "wine merchant" is typically a wine retailer or, sometimes, a wine wholesaler. A winemaker can also sell his or her own wines, but then they have two roles. Could be a good reason to delete to encourage article creation (i.e., redlinks), as well. -- Doug Mehus T· C 20:57, 19 November 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep This appears misleading at first, but as I've looked into it and considered comments here, I don't think there's anything wrong with the status quo per se. We have vintners and négociants covered at the target article, so I think we have enough to satisfy readers to a certain extent. It does seem a bit like the Winemaker article really wants to be the Wine professions article, though. A standalone article on wine merchants would be great, and maybe splitting content out from Winemaker is the way to start that. All of that can be accomplished via regular editorial work, so my "keep" vote here doesn't mean "change nothing". -- BDD ( talk) 20:46, 22 November 2019 (UTC) reply
BDD, I would also support a soft keep with a hatnote (not necessarily to another article, but for clarity) as an interim solution until an obvious dab page presents itself or we split out Winemaker. Good argument. Doug Mehus T· C 20:48, 22 November 2019 (UTC) reply

Comment'. I have a feeling this is very British, in its meaning as off licence, which itself redirects to liquor store. I think various chains of UK off licences (and even that varies, between Scotland and England and Wales) would advertise as "Wine Merchants" so it is a bit colloquial, but would be hard to source secondary. Taylor's Independent wine merchants, for example ( https://www.facebook.com/TaylorsFineWine/ here on Facebbook} but the problem there is they actually sell wine and nothing else, whereas usually it just means anywhere you can buy booze, and so Wikipedia is at odds with reality. WP:ENGVAR is no help to us here, I feel. fWino]] is a DAB at which Alcoholism is just a "eee also", where I would think that is WP:RPRIMARY. Wikpedia I do feel has a bias against the last moral sin, drink.I'm a licenced victualler so of course I am biased,. 92.249.211.78 ( talk) 00:54, 1 December 2019 (UTC) reply
