Useless cross-namespace redirect. Yes, some people jokingly refer to userboxes as userboxen, but no inexperienced user is going to type in "userboxen" looking for userboxes and that's the main reason for having a cross-namespace redirect out of article space.B (talk)18:48, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: userboxes are not critical for editing tasks; they don't warrant cross-namespace redirect. —Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track)19:25, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, as this redirect was created while I was on an unnecessary, immature redirect-creating spree. (I don't exactly remember what I was doing, but this is not appropriate for wiki anyway...)Epicgenius (talk)03:02, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete XNR to Wikipedia pipework, not encyclopedic material.WP:Userboxen would be the correct format, and userboxes are not exclusive to Wikipedia, so this is misleading. --65.94.171.126 (talk)05:48, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, though I am curious where else besides Wikimedia Foundation wikis (and Wikia) the term userboxen (as opposed to userboxes) would be used. A quick Google search (with methods to reduce search bias) doesn't come up with much...

Not related to thetarget in any way, since they are competing trademarks. See alsoticket:2014061010018685. No incoming mainspace links.§FreeRangeFrogcroak15:57, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment@Peter James: I've received a response from the company's rep. Basically it boils down to this: FoodCalc is a registered trademark of the company of the same name. FoodCare originally incorporated asFoodCalc but later changed their name. They have no problem with mentioning the historical relationship in the article, but the argument is that the plain redirect creates an implicit association and dilutes their trademark. I would tend to agree. Considering there are no incoming links to it to begin with and the redirect gets an average of20 hits per month, I don't see any harm in removing it.§FreeRangeFrogcroak18:10, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- That doesn't make it clearer, but I'll support deletion as potentially causing confusion. There's also a redirectFoodCalc - maybe that should also be deleted, and it isn't clear from theFoodCare article that there should be an article at all; an earlier version had references for some of the information, but I'm not sure which company was the subject of that coverage (or what I mentioned above).Peter James (talk)21:02, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete perWP:CSD#G1: patent nonsense. —Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track)19:31, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]- Delete. Redirects from foreign languages such as this are discouraged, particularly when not mentioned in the target article. Search results includeNames given to the Spanish language, where the term is mentioned, although a redirect there would be misleading as it refers to the country, not to the language.Peter James (talk)12:34, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Seethis note orthis paper. Other non-notable uses I also found: a rare given name, software library for indexing and sorting, several different products, etc. Apparently neither subject is notable enough to warrent deletion perWP:RED, but redirect to unrelated city is misleading, thus qualifying forWP:R#DELETE criterion 2, as readers searching any of those small subjects don't get anything even closely related. —Dmitrij D.

This is insimplfied Chinese. The Japanese equivalent is東京.TheChampionMan123410:18, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep these languages are very closely related in written form. For example 日本 is Trad. Chinese, Wuu and Japanese for Japan.
- In this case the phrase means (as far as I can tell) probably "Imperial Tokyo" or "Tokyo Metropolis" not just Tokyo - the Japanese equivalent being東京都 - which is given as the "native name" in the infobox and the "official name" (Tōkyō-to") in the article.

The page of the actor/comedian Dan Tetsell doesn't mention the series, neither does it appear on his filmography.

It is not Spanish, neither side of the Atlantic.Lingvo redirects toABBYY, a company that doesoptical character recognition in, to my entire lack of surprise, a number of languages.

Please delete this, because it was created speculatively, on the theory that OS X 10.10 might be called "El Cap" rather than "Yosemite", as the banner at theApple Worldwide Developers Conference had a picture of El Cap, but the name is Yosemite, not El Cap.Guy Harris (talk)06:12, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Clarification needed. Was the system ever referred to as "OS X El Cap" outside of Wikipedia? Was it a working title announced at the conference, or did someone just speculate based on a picture? Keep if it's the former, delete if the latter. --BDD (talk)16:50, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A series of broken nominations from June 8 being fixed here. Original rationale for all: "Democratic and Social Centre was derived from non existent acronym. party name is CDS - People's Party".Ego White Tray (talk)04:31, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. We don't have the (UK)Labour and Co-operative Party even though that is on my ballot paper. We do, on the other hand, have (UK)Conservative and Unionist Party which is also on my ballot paper. In the UK, theReturning officer eventually decides what is allowed on the ballot paper – and has got more liberal over the years – but a famous result for theLiteral Democrats made them tighten it up a bit again. Until the mid-80s, the party names never appeared on the paper, only the candidates' names: technically in the UK you elect the person not the party. Si Trew editing as IP.85.238.64.128 (talk)08:59, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- @Aight 2009: I disagree with your rationale here. The name party is registered under is a solid candidate for article name or redirect (if reliable sources' references to the party deviate from official name). But it does not automtically disallow redirecting all the other ways the subject is referred. The translation of party's name acronym is very plausible search term – at least I would use it this way if I came across "Centro Democrático e Social" and wanted to get some info about it. —Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track)20:30, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Re Literal Democrats, they must be more concerned about similarly of names than accuracy of them. I've created a redirect atLabour and Co-operative Party toLabour Co-operative, as the article already existed.Peter James (talk)21:27, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: CDS stands forCentro Democrático e Social (Democratic and Social Centre). The word CDS by itself means nothing, as it is obviously the acronym of the full name. That the party likes to highlight itsPartido Popular name over theCentro Democrático e Social is one thing, but as long as it keeps the CDS acronym it is still calling itself as such. Furthermore, a move of such characteristics should have been discussed before the decision to move these pages was even taken, something which has not been done.Impru20 (talk)21:35, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Renominating after broken nomination on June 8th by unknown editor (not signed). No opinion personally.Ego White Tray (talk)04:03, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Original rationale: "Party name is GERB only. Template was moved to Template:GERB/meta/color. Somebody thought that GERB is an acronym the same mistake was with ANO 2011 or TOP09 from the Czech Republic. Party article is in process of moving as stated in its talk page"
- Comment. I'm with Ego as far as the reasoning goes, but is RfD the right place for this or should it go to TfD? I am not standing on ceremony, just not sure if we have jurisdiction? Ego probably knows better before bringing it here.85.238.64.128 (talk)09:05, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
