• Latine →Latin (disambiguation) (talk ·links ·history ·stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Retarget toLatinx (theoriginal target) as arelated term (see e.g.Morphological Gender Innovations in Spanish of Genderqueer Speakers by Papadapolous, 2019). Other pages useLatine only as part of a longer phrase (e.g."small Latine and lesse Greeke"). Also a word for 'Latin' inFrench, Italian, Portuguese, etc, butLatine doesn't appear on the DAB page at all, which is no help to readers searching for this term specifically. And on the English Wikipedia, we don't usually keep generic redirectsfrom foreign languages. A hatnote on the target page can handle any further ambiguity. —Sangdeboeuf (talk)23:10, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget per nom. If another editor can point to a legitimate use in modern English, I'm listening. --BDD (talk)01:06, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete perWP:XY – I also thought the same thing. However, according toWiktionary, "Latine" also means "Latin language" (by the way, the nominator's name can be translated to "blood of beef"). --Soumyabrata (talk •subpages)09:05, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's a veryobsolete English spelling of "Latin", and isn't used on Wikipedia, unlike theSpanish neologismlatine. Unless Wikipedia users include a high proportion of time travelers from the 1600s, I don't think that the two are"equally" likely targets at all. —Sangdeboeuf (talk)11:57, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • And the usual translation is "oxblood" ;) —Sangdeboeuf (talk)23:26, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget back toLatinx where mentioned. Itmay be ambiguous (other usage looks obscure to me though), but the hatnotes already employed at that article should catch that usage. I disagree with a possible deletion because this is a plausible search term—if it can refer to multiple things equally, it should be disambiguated as such. --Tavix^(talk)14:55, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Don't keep and don't retarget.Latine may be a gender-neutral neologism mentioned atLatinx, but it's also got a range of uses clustering aroundLatin language (obsolete English spelling + Latin word for "in Latin" + very plausible misspelling for many L2 speakers of English, etc), each of which might be arguably too insignificant on its own but together I believe they clearly outweigh the neologism. –Uanfala (talk)13:13, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • This seems like an argument for making the term adisambiguation page rather than deleting. But once again,WP:XY applies when a term can "equally" point to multiple targets, not when a bunch of insignificant usescombine to outweigh a single use. IsLatine a documentedcommon misspelling ofLatin? —Sangdeboeuf (talk)10:37, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looke at the Shakespeare's playLoues labors loſt (with emphasis):

Not mentioned in the target article as an alternative name for the subject of the target article, and could refer to anyone with first initial "F", middle initial "W", last name "Benson".

      • Comment. I've seen redirects with incoming links of the formJohn A. Public to a DAB page likeJohn Public with twenty-odd entries. First, you have to determine if any of the entries on that DAB page is actually John A. Public, or if it's a spurious redirect – and if it is, what to do about it. Second, you have to determine if there's more than one of them on the page, or if the redirect should be pointed towards the only one of that name – provided that the problem link and the target are the same person, which is not always the case. Third, and finally, if all else fails, you have to work out which one of the multiple people is meant – or it could be turn out to be someone else altogether. RFD looms.

I stumbled upon this redirect while using the "search Wikipedia" search box on a related subject and, whilebutcher in French isbouchère/boucher, in this case, I'm not certain this misspelling is the best use of this redirect here. I'm not advocating deletion, but I would note that my former high school,Mount Boucherie Senior Secondary School, may be a more appropriate target. At the same time, wedo appear to have several partial references toBoucherie using the "contains" search function.

Retarget the first toCenter of population to align the two. There is a move discussion atTalk:Center of population#Requested move 5 March 2020, but the two issues are not co-dependent, so I thought it better to list this here and cross-reference.

• Comment: the first is a term for a geographic statistical area. What is most common for “population centre”? “Centre of population” seems like a stretch. If the geographic statistical area is confirmed as less common, I think we will need a new disambiguated redirect such asPopulation centre (Canada).Hwy43 (talk)05:56, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Population Center" is only linked from two articles. So as far asusage is concerned, the Statistics Canada term is fifteen times more common. But common sense would seem to indicate that the general meaning must needs be more common than Statistics Canada's specific one, so I agree a more specific redirect is needed, perWP:PRECISE.
