No articles link to redirect. Created by user who has a nine-page talk page archive of notices for deletion of redirects, categories and orphaned images, the majority of which have been removed.

Suggesting this redirect be deleted. It's not really a plausible search term and, as South Dakota cannot get hurricanes, the topic simply does not exist.

I propose retargeting this redirect to
Sint Maarten, North Holland, since "
Sint Maarten, Netherlands" redirects there too. The current target is not appropriate, because
Sint Maarten is a constituent country of the
Kingdom of the Netherlands and thus not a part of the
Netherlands itself. To avoid possible confusion, a disambiguation hatnote has been added at
Sint Maarten, North Holland, per
WP:ONEOTHER. —

- Oppose, DEPENDENCY (STATE) is a very common map convention, and so the Caribbean Sint Maarten is a much more likely intended search result. The bright line Netherlands/Netherlands distinction is technical and does not reflect common use.

- Redirect to a new
Sint Maarten (disambiguation). Starting with a bit of history. In 2006, the article on the village north of Amsterdam was created at
Sint Maarten (Netherlands). In 2010, I moved
Sint Maarten (Netherlands) to
Sint Maarten, Netherlands (and virtually all dabbed Dutch geo articles) per Enwiki convention that was not observed until then for Dutch geographies. Since, the village has moved
Sint Maarten, North Holland and, as the creator of the original (different)
Sint Maarten (Netherlands) redirect, I was notified of this discussion. To the present: since we need to cancel out the better claim of the village against many more searches for the territory,
Sint Maarten (Netherlands) and
Sint Maarten, Netherlands are best redirected to
Sint Maarten (disambiguation) that would contain links to the village, the overseas territory, and to "the" Sint Maarten, a hospital in Belgium without an article right now.

Like Balloon incident nominated below this seems like a rather vague and ambiguous title to redirect to a specific event. Google results are dominated by a meme, but searches show no specific affinity between this title and the Balloon boy hoax. I reccomend deletion. There is an unsourced single line stub in the page history, but it could have been A10 deleted at the time and no content from it was ever merged anywhere, so it shouldn't need keeping.

- Hello, I was the creator of this redirect. I initially heard this person's name from the History of Byzantium podcast, the host there has a British accent and the person's name sounded phonetically like "Italiartes." Figured this redirect would be useful for others like me who heard that name that way and was looking phonetically.

- There's room for an amount of redirects from plausible mishearings, but this one is too particular to one person with one accent's best guess at transcribing something said by another person with another accent. Assuming this podcast host pronounced it something like , I can think of half a dozen ways that might be transcribed, and that's without getting to the assumption that the /ɑː/ is a British non-
rhotic /r/. So, delete as too arbitrary. --

Seems like a rather broad and ambiguous title to redirect to such a specific page. There have been a number of other balloon related incidents that could also be plausible targets, e.g.
Balloonfest '86. My !vote is for deletion.

This is apparently the name of a band that Falcon Heene started years after the events of the Balloon boy hoax. This band isn't mentioned in the target article (nor should it be IMO) so this redirect doesn't make a lot of sense.

Retarget to
The_Vector_(newspaper) - Nothing else listed at
Vector has a "The" in it, so I don't see why The Vector goes to disambiguation when there is nothing really to disambiguate.

- Delete RFD is much simpler than other deletion processes because there is really only one simple rule: "will this redirect help readers find content they are looking for?" In this case I think the answer is a clear no as this is written in a dead language that is going to be on any keyboard.

- Because lots of people are logging on to Wikipedia with their devices that support an Akkadian keyboard, and those people only know his (alleged, unsourced) name in Akkadian and will type that in looking for this article instead of "Nebuchadnezzar II" which they somehow don't know is the common name now? Seems kind of unlikely to me.
