- The result of the discussion wasdelete andretarget toVentricular tachycardia respectively. The latter I would call anWP:NCRET. --BDD (talk)22:00, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The target, a disambiguation page, previously listed a single entry spelled "VTAK", the filmA View to a Kill. I have removed this entry because it failedWP:DABACRONYM: the film article does not use the acronym VTAK (let alone VTAC), nor could I find any reliable sources which use it either[1][2]. The only acronym sometimes used for the film is AVTAK[3] English Wikipedia discusses nothing else called VTAK either (not counting theWP:PTMVták OhnivákVták Ohnivák, which would not be an appropriate target;wikt:vták just means "bird"). Suggest deletion.61.239.39.90 (talk)02:30, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. --Asmodea Oaktree (talk)12:46, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete for now. This could be a weak spelling for VTEC or VTAC, but there aren't really any entries worth digging up. There'sApplied Research Associates as Virtual Tactical Assault Kit (VTAK) as mentioned in this press release[4]. There's also the Foreign Trade Arbitration Commission in USSR[5] but even then the VTAK and later ICAC don't have articles here.AngusW🐶🐶F (bark •sniff)18:52, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep orretarget toVentricular tachycardia as a plausible phonetic mispelling. This could apply to any of the entries, but in particular "V-tach" gets thrown around constantly in medical dramas, and its spelling is non-obvious. Someone could easily think there's a "k" in there, especially with the term often appearing near "EKG". Given that it's linked from the dab, no strong preference between keep and ret.--Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they)05:28, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- DeleteVTAK: no article and obscures search.RetargetV-tak toVentricular tachycardia: good idea Tamzin.Shhhnotsoloud (talk)10:17, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- DeleteVTAK as per above.RedirectV-TAK (andRetargetV-tak) toVentricular tachycardia. I agree with the logic (per Tamzin), but if someone already thinks "tach" they would likely consider it an abbreviation, so they would search for "V-tach" or "V tach", and indeed, there already are redirectsV tach andV-tach to this article. If someone think it's "tak", they are hearing it as an acronym that is pronounced as a word (like "NATO"), which should be capitalized "TAK". Because the first letter "V" is heard as an initialism, it is sensibly hyphenated initialism-acronym, i.e., V-TAK. I wouldn't addV-tak with lower case since acronyms should be capitalized, but since it already exists, I would also redirect it toVentricular tachycardia as per Shhhnotsoloud.Coastside (talk)17:42, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.Relisting comment: As things stand, I see consensus to delete the first, but that could change as discussion continues on the second.

I have created this redirect to be in line with all 16 Commonwealth kingdoms, seeWikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 October 4#Commonwealth kingdom. ApparentlyUser:Narky Blert want to delete/retarget this redirect.Somerby (talk)10:39, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Grenada has never been a kingdom. It was formerly a colony of the UK crown - just like e.g.British North America once was. No British monarch has ever been king or queen of Grenada, or British North America for that matter.Narky Blert (talk)10:47, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Retarget toEmirate of Granada and mark as a{{R avoided double redirect}} ofKingdom of Granada. Other than this redirect, every google hit for "Kingdom of Grenada" relates to the Islamic realm in what is now Spain and seems to be an accepted spelling for it. After spending a while trying to exclude results for that I finally got results for theNew Kingdom of Granada, in present day Colombia, which is linked from my suggested target via a hatnote toKingdom of Granada (disambiguation). Excluding the New Kingdom, I get some user-generated content, and an international trade agreement noting a publication called "The Kingdom of Grenada Gazette" relating to Guyana in a trade agreement between the EU andCARIFORUM, googling the name of the publication brings only directly related documents.Thryduulf (talk)11:14, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Thryduulf, it is really strange thatQueen of Grenada andKing of Grenada will targetMonarchy of Grenada andKingdom of Grenada will lead toEmirate of Granada, isn't it? --Somerby (talk)11:44, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- The purpose of a redirect is so that readers using that search term can find the content they are looking for. Even after a lot of effort to try and make "Kingdom of Grenada" return results relating the monarchy of the Caribbean island (iirc the search term was eventually"Kingdom of Grenada" -"Granada" -Spain -Arabic -Iberia -Moorish -"New Kingdom") not one of the results related to that - the closest I got was the name an extremely obscure official gazette. It's extremely clear that anybody actually using the term "Kingdom of Grenada" is going to beWP:ASTONISHED to land anywhere other than an article about the historical Arabic realm in present-day Spain. At most it should be an entry on theKingdom of Granada (disambiguation) page, but as that already links toGrenada (disambiguation) I'm not convinced that is justified.Thryduulf (talk)12:52, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Please be careful to distinguishGrenada, an island country in the Caribbean, fromGranada, a province and city in Spain.Certes (talk)15:53, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Search results indicate that "Grenada" is either an accepted alternate spelling or extremely common misspelling of the Islamic realm that predated the Spanish province. Regardless of whether "Grenada" is a correct or incorrect spelling of that entity, it is the primary topic for the search term "Kingdom of Grenada" by multiple orders of magnitude, and the next most common is a partial title match for the "New Kingdom of Granada" in South America. The only connection between the phrase "Kingdom of Grenada" and the island country in the Caribbean I can find is a substring of the title of an official publication whose existence I can verify only from a mention in connection with a single obscure international treaty.Thryduulf (talk)17:23, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Retarget per Thryduulf. Calling the island nation "Kingdom of Grenada" looks almost like OR. Note that the island isGranada in Spanish.Srnec (talk)00:42, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- No, it's not. It's that kind of tomfoolery – running a link to another Wikipedia (ES:WP) then sayinmps "Note that" as if that had some authority: That is dulyMOS:NOTED. The island is "Granada (pa%C3%ADs)"in the Spanish Wikpedia. We're not here to discuss how Spanish Wikipedia disambiguates its articles, whetherGranada trumpsGrenada in the Spanish Wikipedia. We are here to try to help decide as best we can, what anEnglish-speaking reader would expect to find if she entered this name into English Wikipedia's search engine. The criteria are narrower or broader as you wish, but the principle isget readers to where they want to be, whether that is a DAB, an R, a search engine.85.67.32.244 (talk)02:21, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- And all the evidence points to an English-speaking reader expecting to findEmirate of Granada if they entered this name into English Wikipedia's search engine (or used any of the many other methods of finding English Wikipedia content).Thryduulf (talk)09:39, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned at the target, no relevant results on GScholar or DuckDuckGo as far as I was able to see. Delete unless a justification can be provided.signed,Rosguilltalk17:20, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I was asked by a wikipedian on my talk page to help disambiguate an article where Wanasur was used. There are many online results for Vanasur/a see[9]. Wanaur/a is a plausible alternate spelling and search keyword. So it should not be deleted, unless there is a conflict and/or better target.Venkat TL (talk)17:35, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as a plausible alternative (mis)spelling. For a certain class of words in Hindi, there is a /b/ ~ /v/ alternation, and /v/ (at least before non-front vowels like /a/) can be anglicised asw. –Uanfala (talk)14:42, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Create a disambiguation page like thatwhich I was created before it was reverted. Maybe add link toCommonwealth of England too.User:Certes, I agree with you thatnot all those who seek independence for England also advocate a republic, but also not all those who advocate a republic seek independence for England. And English republicanism can mean both, thus a disambiguation page is the best choice.Somerby (talk)06:42, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- We can't distinguish byWP:SMALLDETAILS: how does "English republicanism" differ from "English Republicanism"?
- You state "not all those who advocate a republic seek independence for England": patently England cannot be a republic within a monarchical United Kingdom. Not all who advocate aBritish republic seekEnglish independence (or Scottish, etc). But many people around the worlddo use the terms "England" and "Britain" (and "English" and "British") as if they were synonymous. (The AmericanMilton Friedman frequently did in his TV appearances, for example.) Thus it is at leastslightly useful to retarget these to where English republicanism is mentioned.85.67.32.244 (talk)08:46, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There's no connection whatsoever between any incarnation of Playhouse Disney (much less the Asia version) and a CBS station in Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas. It did start out as a redirect to the more-logicalDisney Junior (Asian TV channel) (since moved toDisney Junior (Southeast Asian TV channel)), only for the creator to change the redirect to KTVT — but despite being in the draft namespace, it's never been anythingbut a redirect (there is no non-redirect history).WCQuidditch☎✎02:49, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
