I am not convinced that country redirects misspelled in American accents are useful aids for navigation. These do not appear to be widespread misspellings, google turns up 52 results for "Indanesia", 172 results for "Frence" and 38 results for "Pakisten" (note that you need to click through to the end of results 4-20 pages in, the numbers on the first page of search results seem to be wildly inaccurate).

  • Keep The name of the infrastructure bill is hard to remember and in the US this is just being called the "Infrastructure Bill". With the lack of any existent page there, this is quite useful. UserTwoSix ( talk) 19:09, 25 August 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete as ambiguous and US centric to let search take care of it even though there is no page at Infrastructure bill and could be served in the future by a list of infrastructure bills. UserTwoSix ( talk) 20:38, 25 August 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete as ambiguous. This is a generic search term with no specific connection to this piece of legislation - there are thousands of bills related to infrastructure in existence, redirecting to this one seems like an example of WP:Recentism. In this case I think search results do a better job than the redirect. 192.76.8.74 ( talk) 19:26, 25 August 2021 (UTC) reply

Delete redirect until an article is written. Category:1993 in tennis and {{ 1993 in tennis}} have many other events than the ATP Tour. Page history has an awful article which should not be restored. PrimeHunter ( talk) 13:45, 25 August 2021 (UTC) reply

"WikiText" is a spelling mistake and another redirect with the right spelling "Wikitext" already exists. I edited the 3 articles using "WikiText" and changed their wikilinks to "Wikitext". A specific problem for editors is when they add a link with the VisualEditor, Wikipedia will only suggest "WikiText redirect" (when typing "wikitext or Wikitext", you should have two suggestions: "WikiText redirect" and "Wikitext redirect"). Same result for users using the search bar from Wikipedia (with Vector skin). In the end, everybody will think that "WikiText" is a right spelling, and it is not! Antoine Legrand ( talk) 12:07, 25 August 2021 (UTC) reply

  • @ Antoine Legrand: Since this is (I think) your first RfD, I'd suggest taking a look at WP:R#KEEP: We usually don't delete redirects just for being misspellings, as long as it's a plausible misspelling. That said, this isn't a misspelling, just an old one. In Ward Cunningham's WikiWikiWeb, all page titles were written in CamelCase, so something like "WikiText" was a totally valid title. Wikipedia originally used UseModWiki, the same software that WikiWikiWeb used, so a) we have a lot of older redirects that use CamelCase (we even have a template and category for them; see {{ r from CamelCase}}), and b) for any basic wiki-related term, a CamelCase title will often be a valid alternate spelling (i.e. not a typo), as is the case here. Thus, I suggest we keep. -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she/they) 14:17, 25 August 2021 (UTC) reply
@ Tamzin: my main concern was not the CamelCase writing even if it is right that I began by saying that "WikiText" was misspelled.
In fact, I ask for this RfD because of:
  1. Virtual editing: editors using "Add a link" and typing "wikite.." will only be suggested "WikiText" (among 14 suggestions in the drop-down list, why is "Wikitext" not suggested???). If they type exactly "wikitext" both "Wikitext" and "WikiText" will appear!!!
  2. Wikipedia search drop-down list: users typing "wikite.." will only have as suggestion "WikiText" (among 10 suggestions in the drop-down list, why is "Wikitext" not suggested???). If they type exactly "wikitext" both "Wikitext" and "WikiText" will appear!!!
Maybe you will answer me that there are some sorts of technical limitations in the search engine (like predominance of upper case) but my main objective is to find a solution and thus to delete "WikiText" so that "Wikitext" pops up always in the results!
Thus, if due to technical limitations I can only have one suggestion, I prefer "Wikitext" to "WikiText" ("Wikitext redirect page": used by 980 pages on Wikipedia; "WikiText redirect page": used by 9 pages on Wikipedia). Antoine Legrand ( talk) 16:44, 25 August 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep as a useful {{ R from alternate capitalisation}}. CamelCase names are very commonly used in programming and a google search shows a decent number of sites using this spelling. The arguments about visual editor and search results are not convincing in my view, with the search results it doesn't matter which one you click because they both take you to the same place, and with editing it is the responsibility of the editor to ensure they insert the right link, we wouldn't delete all {{ R from misspelling}}'s because someone might insert them accidentally. This receives a substantial number of page views (500+ in the last year) so evidently it's of use to readers. 192.76.8.74 ( talk) 19:35, 25 August 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per Tamzin. Also, in general I don't believe capitalization alone (if not completely random like WikitExt) is reason enough to delete a redirect. Winston ( talk) 00:59, 26 August 2021 (UTC) reply

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

This was part of a nomination withdrawn because of a potentially fatal error on the railroad schedule. While yes, it could refer to Ichigo, it doesn't get very much use nowadays, and sees A LOT less usage than Ichigo Momomiya. I'm thinking we should delete unless someone can provide a justification. Regards, SONIC 678 02:05, 18 August 2021 (UTC) reply

A similar redirect was deleted in 2019 Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 August 22#Mrs. Momomiya. The nominator in that discussion mentioned that she was never referred to as Mrs. Momomiya and I would assume that also applies to Ms. Momomiya. Based on that I would recommend that we delete the redirect unless evidence is provided that the character is known by that name.-- 65.93.194.2 ( talk) 02:52, 19 August 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Soft redirect to wikt:dumby, which explains the word/nickname. It may or may not be widely used, but the page does quote two examples of the term, and this word can be a plausible (if not widely used) way to write "dummy." Regards, SONIC 678 22:14, 17 August 2021 (UTC) reply
