Useless, implausible redirect. If anything, it would be expected to point toVienna, notVienne, but nobody is going to use the page with these diacritics. One of dozens of uselss redirects created by now indef-blockedUser:Chickensire; this one could be worse than useless by actually misleading people.Huon (talk)23:21, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is clearly not the only collection of essays in existenceOiyarbepsy (talk)23:02, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- If we have an article about the practice of collecting essays for publication in book form then this should be retargetted there, I can't find one but I'm not confident that I've not missed something. If there isn't such an article then a disambiguation page would be preferable as there are many examples of publications with this title.Thryduulf (talk)00:08, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. A dab page wouldn't work; the target is the only title we have an article on that has this phrase in it. But "collected essays" is extremely vague and unhelpful; if there's to be an article written on the overall topic, this needs to be a red link. —Gorthian (talk)03:41, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This was the woman's last name in 1939 when she entered the spy business, she was rarely known by this surname. There is a Polish town namedBiała Giżycka and a Polish county namedGiżycko County, and one of these might be a better target.Oiyarbepsy (talk)22:50, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Sounds like a case for disambiguation.Biała Giżycka looks like aWP:PTM but could be included in a See also. --BDD (talk)21:17, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Neither of the suggested targets are good for these redirects, and these particular forms of the name are not mentioned at the current target. I know nothing about Polish and whether or not "Gizycka" is a feminine version, but the name "Gizycki" is what's discussed in the article. There have been few hits over the last year, with no way of knowing if they found what they wanted. —Gorthian (talk)19:09, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The 1981 attempt on the life of Ronald Reagan failed and thus was not anassassination, contrary to what this redirect alludes to. --Neve–selbert22:25, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- keep. This is a very well used redirect, with an average of 1-2 hits every day (and up to 35 hits on the days around the anniversary). Redirects do not have to be strictly accurate - the target article makes the outcome immediately clear removing any misapprehensions the searcher may be under.Thryduulf (talk)22:37, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Let's not be pedantic.Herostratus (talk)22:41, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep as it seems to fit in withWP:RFD#KEEP. I don't even remember making this 10 years ago (or what I was thinking), but it doesn't seem to be hurting anything, and per the above, it seems to help remind 1-2 people each day that Reagan was never actually assassinated. Seems a good price to pay for the 64 bytes of hard drive space the redirect takes up. :p --Aristeo (talk)22:06, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Conspiracy theories aside, I doubt many readers believe Reagan was assassinated. Even if they do, this should quickly set them aright. It also seems plausible that readers using this term are in fact looking for the attempt, and are just using a shorthand. --BDD (talk)16:41, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- keep likely search query. "assassination" doesn't necessary have to mean that it wad successful.--Prisencolin (talk)23:28, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dhammakaya ordination

I propose to delete Dhammakaya ordination, since there is no such concept. Originally someone put a quote here from a book ofLuang Por Dattajivo, a Buddhist monk, about ordaining. Since Luang Por Dattajivo is froma Buddhist temple called Wat Phra Dhammakaya, the user called the page "Dhammakaya ordination". However, Wat Phra Dhammakaya doesn't have its own type of ordination, but simply follows the ordination traditions of all Buddhist temples in Thailand. I propose to remove this page, since it is only confusing and there already is a page about Wat Phra Dhammakaya. We might move the quote to Wikiquote to preserve the original intention of the first user who made the page, though in the current version of the page, the quote has already been deleted. If for whatever reason the page is kept, it should not redirect toUpasampada, which is about ordination in general, but rather to the page of Wat Phra Dhammakaya.S Khemadhammo (talk)19:59, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion wasretarget toMalting process. --BDD (talk)15:38, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently, a maltster is "the person who produces malt from barley which is used in the production of beer". Is there currently a good section target? I didn't see one offhand atmalt ormalting process;malting process#kilning uses the term but doesn't define it. If not: The term is used in quite a lot of sources, but is there a good one that defines it (I foundthis source interesting)? Secondly, where is the best place for said information to be inserted?—Godsy(TALKCONT)08:44, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia is not about defining words, that's Witkionary's job (cfwikt:maltster). The term should be and is used atMalting process, so I think retargetting there is best.Thryduulf (talk)12:59, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This was created by an editor who did not know thatFake You Out already existed, and was already a redirect because the song is not notable. The page should never have been created. The search term is not likely because the correct title exists. If it were a likely term, one would have been created a year ago when the song was released.Walter Görlitz (talk)04:17, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
