Delete both. Two problems here: (1) not all neoplasms are cancerous; (2) oral cancer doesn't always involve bone, and isn't the only neoplasm that may. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 23:22, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. ✗plicit 00:30, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

Delete all or refine to § Clinical significance and tag as {{R with possibilities}}. The main article about each body part is far too imprecise for these 'diseases' redirects. These may have article potential but should probably be named in the singular ('X disease') or 'Diseases of [the] X'. There are many similar articles, for example Heart disease which redirects to Cardiovascular disease. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 22:58, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

There are benign tumours as well, such as Uterine fibroids. 1234qwer1234qwer4 19:06, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:REDYES and because the current redirect is misleading since not all uterine tumors are cancerous, as pointed out by the nom. I looked at the use in articles and all the sources I could locate used 'tumors' and not 'cancer'. Note that the singular uterine tumor does not exist and would be the more appropriate title, if this article is ever created. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 20:39, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was retarget to Wikipedia:Contentious topics with a hatnote to Wikipedia:Citation templates. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 09:54, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

This redirect currently points to Wikipedia:Citation templates. I'd like to consider either retargeting this redirect (to Wikipedia:Contentious topics) or, possibly, converting this redirect to a disambiguation page.

Although this is a longstanding redirect to a longstanding page, it may be worth doing so because:

Best, KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 18:49, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

  • Retarget to Wikipedia:Contentious topics per L235, or dabify as a distant second choice. I'll add that it is really annoying that {{ct}} points to {{contentious topics}}, but {{ctop}} points to an unrelated page ({{collapse top}}). Simplifying that confusion so editors need not remember which abbreviation works for which namespace would be a worthwhile improvement, even disregarding Kevin's good points above. A hatnote would deal with confusion from retargetting, and we should think about the long term benefit of Wikipedia. (I am a clerk for ArbCom, but I am supporting this in my capacity as an editor.) HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:03, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Keep since this redirect has targeted its current target since 2009. There's too high of a chance of this redirect being linked in edit summaries. Best leave it be, but consider creating Wikipedia:CT (disambiguation) if hatnotes aren't enough. Steel1943 (talk) 03:23, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
    There are indeed some old uses of WP:CT in edit summaries. I ran this quarry query and there are 128 results of uses of this in links. However, one also notes that starting in 2023 (when the contentious topics procedure came into effect), the majority of edits that refer to WP:CT actually refer to contentious topics (not citation templates), even though the redirect points to citation templates. See, e.g., Special:Diff/1215352065, Special:Diff/1229953079, Special:Diff/1272261508, Special:Diff/1278723342. (We should also exclude some uses that are about this very RfD or refer to fixing mistaken links to WP:CT that should have pointed to CTOP.) To me, it seems that the old uses will continue getting older and more distant, while the mistaken and confusing use of WP:CT to refer to contentious topics will grow. That, plus the reasons laid about above, suggest to me that the page should be retargeted. Best, KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 00:22, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Retarget per nom, who convincingly demonstrated how CT is already being used as a shortcut for Contentious Topics and how it's a much more prominent destination over citation templates. -- Tavix (talk) 14:47, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Retarget per nom, I would add a hatnote to Wikipedia:Contentious topics for the old target. PS: I ended up here trying to link to Wikipedia:Contentious topics. :P —Locke Cole • t • c 15:05, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

Endia

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was no consensus. Most commenters are split between delete and disambiguate, with a minority favoring retargetting to Endia Beal or ENDIA. I do not see a policy based reason to favor one side or the other. Since no one preferred keeping as is, I am choosing to disambiguate as the least destructive option (and the one that seems like it might align closer to the redirect !votes). Rusalkii (talk) 20:55, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

Neither an alternative spelling nor a likely misspelling but a derogatory slang (). Gotitbro (talk) 01:57, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

  • Disambiguate between ENDIA and Endia Beal as a valid WP:ATD. However, do not add a link to India in the dab page because the slang is not mentioned in the article. Warudo (talk) 09:33, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
    As an aside, ATD talks about article content, and it doesn't apply to redirects, which don't enjoy the same level of protection as articles. There's no substantive history to preserve here, so nothing is really lost in the deletion. If you think disambiguation is the best way to go, that's fine, but it shouldn't really be done as some sort of middle-ground, ATD thing. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 14:53, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
    That might be your opinion but it's not what WP:ATD actually says. It says If editing can address all relevant reasons for deletion, this should be done rather than deleting the page (emphasis mine). It doesn't single out articles. And for the record, yes, I think disambiguating is obviously superior to deleting here. Warudo (talk) 18:04, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Disambiguate, obviously. Pageviews is not conclusive, so dab at Endia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paradoctor (talk • contribs) 10:25, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete. Redirects for first names should generally be avoided unless that person is specifically well known by their first name only. I'm also dubious as to the usefulness of pointing to "India" here. A retarget to ENDIA is probably okay, but also unnecessary, since the search box will automatically redirect to an article that only differs by casing. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 14:30, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Redirect to ENDIA. Doesn't seem a plausible spelling mistake for the target. A no-caps version of an allcaps title (remember, Endia is the same as endia) is always reasonable. Redirecting to a person's first name doesn't seem particularly helpful, but disambiguating would be far better than deleting. Nyttend (talk) 21:48, 9 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete disam makes zero sense because it would have only two pages. Redirect to a first name is undue and to ENDIA is redundant since both the all caps and nocaps already exist. UnpetitproleX (talk) 10:35, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

  • Do not delete, do not keep. At least two potential targets (ENDIA & Endia Beal) have been identified during the course of this discussion, leaving a "delete" result making no sense at all. Also, the current target is clearly a bad target for this since it doesn't seem to be a likely misspelling, especially given there are targets in existence that are known by this exact spelling. Steel1943 (talk) 03:26, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
    Endia Beal is not exactly a potential target given that the person does not appear to be known mononymously by their given name. 1234qwer1234qwer4 03:43, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
    In a nutshell, and you probably get why I'm saying this: {{R from given name}} exists for a reason, and the target doesn't need to be known mononymously by their given name for it to apply. Steel1943 (talk) 03:47, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
    Honestly I personally do not agree the existence of this redirect category implies we should always have given names point to people when we only have one biography with a given given name. It will very often not be what a reader is looking for, especially for less-known biographies which most are. 1234qwer1234qwer4 12:33, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Retarget to ENDIA per Nyttend and add hatnote to Endia Beal if desired. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 02:31, 24 August 2025 (UTC)

Malplaced redirect. Depending on whether WP:DIFFCAPS applies or not, I suggest either retargeting this to Paintbox (which is the dabpage, Paint box redirects there) or moving Paint Box (song) to Paint Box. ArthananWarcraft (talk) 15:24, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

Lack of a space between title and disambiguator. This should be Deleted per WP:RDAB. ArthananWarcraft (talk) 13:32, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

  • Seems a likely typo. Slatersteven (talk) 13:43, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete per RDAB. The redirect was being used in one article, Advanced boiling water reactor, and I have replaced the link there with Taiwan. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 14:11, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. This would be eligible for X3 speedy deletion (when the remaining incoming links had been bypassed) but Slatersteven's implicit keep !vote means that is no longer the case. Thryduulf (talk) 14:36, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
    I'm not sure that’s a 'keep' vote. Another redirect with the proper spacing already exists: Republic of China (Taiwan) Phlar (talk) 20:37, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
    It's ambiguous. Perhaps @Slatersteven can clarify. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 20:59, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
    Given that being a likely typo is a very common argument in favour of keeping redirects, and often a reason why a redirect nominated here is kept, I interpret their comment as a clear recommendation this redirect be kept. Regardless, making their opinion explicit certainly wouldn't harm. Thryduulf (talk) 01:48, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Phlar (talk) 20:38, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete. Clear WP:X3 candidate. Steel1943 (talk) 03:39, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete - I can't see why this would be needed. Even the version without the typo seems superfluous. Both "Republic of China" and "Taiwan" already take you to the relevant page. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 14:37, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Note that "(Taiwan)" is not a disambiguator. Government of Taiwan uses the name "Republic of China (Taiwan)" in formal English occasions (see MoFA of ROC for an example).  — 魔琴 (Zauber Violino) [ talk contribs ] 06:47, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) Left guide (talk) 14:03, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

seemingly german for "piano harmonica"... so a melodica? that can't be right, as results that coincidentally mash those two together seem to just be talking about harmonicas, though one seems to have used it as a synonym for "accordion"... or at least it might be doing that. results are extremely unclear, and the term isn't mentioned anywhere on wikipedia, so i have no actual idea what this is supposed to be consarn (grave) (obituary) 12:06, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

  • Keep. This is apparently one of several German words for accordion. The instrument was invented in Germany, popularized in Germany and Austria, and is still associated with Germanic music styles (though not exclusively). That's enough 'cultural affinity' for me. The Rcat should be updated to {{R from alternate language|de|en}}. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 14:28, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Keep (as creator). I created this redirect since it was an entry in Oxford Music Online indexed on Wikipedia:Music encyclopedia topics/26 (see 2021 in the history for when it was removed as completed), and we try to have all of those keywords go somewhere. Foreign language names of musical instruments are typically indexed in music encyclopedias since they can appear in scores and so forth. Even without access you can see the term listed in the title of the "Accordion" article at . Of course, it would be better if the term did appear in the Wikipedia article. The name is now obsolete, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be included since someone could find it in historical sources. Rigadoun (talk) 15:05, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Very unlikely to be used redirect. Thepharoah17 (talk) 07:10, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

  • Delete. I can't find a source that uses this as an abbreviation. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:19, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete. My search results match Shhnotsoloud's but it's worth pointing out that Google refused to distinguish between "A-Stan", "A stan", "-stan" and "Stan" so all my results were initially about Stan (fan), then when I refined it about -stan or the central-Asian countries so named. As such I'll be more than willing to change my !vote if someone does manage to find some actual use. Thryduulf (talk) 14:49, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
    I searched "A-stan" and "Kabul" (I figured including Kabul as a search term would help garner more actual results), and I found these articles, however they're all mostly from 15 years ago:
    https://www.vice.com/en/article/cables-from-kabul-minesweeping-is-more-than-just-a-bar-game/
    https://nypost.com/2011/10/19/after-10-years-getting-astan-right/
    Then, I searched "A stan" and "Taliban" (I included Taliban in my search for the same reason as I included Kabul as a search term) and found these articles:
    https://www.legion.org/information-center/news/magazine/2012/june/back-to-a-stan (not sure how reliable this is)
    https://www.wired.com/tag/agony-of-a-stan/ (there's an entire tag with "A-Stan" on Wired apparently)
    https://www.politico.com/blogs/on-congress/2009/10/gates-to-gop-dont-make-astan-obamas-war-021963
    In conclusion, yes "A-Stan" or some form of it was used even in what we would consider reliable sources (like Politico and Wired)... 15 years ago. I'm not sure of the relevance of it now or whether its prevalence 15 years ago warrants keeping it as a redirect now, though. Pineways (talk) 23:10, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete. Three of Pineways's sources use A'stan, not A-stan and two use it only in headlines but not running text. I checked 5 Wired articles and it's only used as a tag there, not in the article bodies. 4–5 source is slim to begin with and what they actually show is different punctuation than the redirect uses, one instance of an in-house usage, and a few different publications happening to use the same one-off, ad hoc abbreviation for effect.

2+ incorrect letters = implausible to expect a redirect to exist. Recently created, "Gppgpl" would not be a good redirect for Googol either. There is 0% chance for a redirect to exist for exceedingly sloppy searches; people should not/do not expect that they can swap out all their "o"s for "p"s as if there is no difference. 1 letter off might be feasible, (like "googke") but multiple is not imo; even if it is the same letter, that is twice as long to notice the multiple errors being made.

    The redirect wasn't recently created tho Thegoofhere (talk) 06:27, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
    2025 is fairly recent in my perview. R3 indicates 4 months at the upper bound, this is 5 months old. I would still call anything from 2025 "recently created" but it might not meet the recently created definition of r3. Utopes (talk / cont) 06:32, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

  • Dwlwtw. Implausible, being a letter at the start of the word, and would likely be fixed by the automatic correction of MediaWiki's search engine (at least after these three fixes), also in longer search terms containing this typo. 1234qwer1234qwer4 01:50, 23 August 2025 (UTC)

Implausible to type in L and I while searching for this three letter article. Recently created, Google searching for this term gives only information related to "Texas Lawyers Insurance Exchange" (No such article, but the search results are obscured as people are taken to the page for "The" instead when trying to find information). One letter off of Tie, TLI, Lie as well. With short terms such as this, this could likely refer to several different options, so assuming targets of very-short errors is not usually helpful.

Not a difficult word to spell. Recently created, we never needed this. WP:XY with Bulic with which it is closer in construction, as the entire term of "Bulic" is found in this search, plus an extra keypress. With short & phonetic words such as this, typo redirs are not needed. Utopes (talk / cont) 05:32, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

Ossetia not mentioned in article. Also Ossetia is a de facto independent country. Thepharoah17 (talk) 05:20, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

Ossetia is actually a region which straddles both Georgia and Russia, being divided into North Ossetia (Russia) and South Ossetia (de jure Georgia). only South Ossetia seeks separation, and Russia & Georgia have quite different policies on LGBTQ issues. due to this complication, we may be better off deleting this redirect as there is no clear useful target. ... sawyer * any/all * talk 07:59, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

This seems to be a subdiscipline of linguistics dealing with areal phenomena, not really a synonym of geolinguistics, suggest disambiguating or changing the target back to areal feature. Areal linguist (talk) 02:36, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

  • redirect to Areal feature. First of all, welcome to Wikipedia! Secondly, I understand and support your wish to be cautious and check in here with other users before making a bold edit on your own like changing it back unilaterally; bravo. That said, I probably would have just changed it back. Note that if you choose to follow a bold path in a similar situation in the future and someone undoes your edit, then stop there and bring it here (like you just did), rather than get in an edit war. See WP:BRD: one revert is okay, but not two. Again, welcome! Mathglot (talk) 05:43, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was keep second and retarget first to Roblox Corporation#Ruben Sim. (non-admin closure) Left guide (talk) 04:01, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

There are currently two places where Ruben Sim is covered on Wikipedia: Roblox Corporation#Ruben Sim (currently the target of Benjamin Robert Simon) and Child safety on Roblox#Anti-pedophile activism (currently the target of Ruben Sim). I'm honestly not sure what to do when we have two plausible redirects for a non-notable subject, so I'm bringing it here. Based5290 :3 (talk) 01:59, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

  • Keep the second one, Roblox Corporation#Ruben Sim has a reliably sourced mention of Ruben Sim. Retarget the first one to Roblox Corporation#Ruben Sim as I don't think Ruben Sim is mentioned in the current target Thegoofhere (talk) 02:34, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
    Looks like someone changed the section title to Child safety on Roblox#Community activism against predators, and Ruben Sim is still mentioned at the target of the first redirect. Based5290 :3 (talk) 02:43, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
    For the time being, I've changed the redirect to reflect the change in that section's title. (By no means am I trying to interfere with this discussion though) UppercutPawnch (talk) 08:07, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
    It appears that both have been equally reliably sourced, except they both use completely different reliable sources (with the exception of one shared). I've since added all secondary sources on the person to each article. UppercutPawnch (talk) 08:11, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Keep second redirect, Retarget first. Subject's notability primarily comes from a WP:BLP1E involving a lawsuit that is only covered in the child safety article for how it relates to his activism, redirecting to his section under Roblox Corporation#Legal disputes as is with the second redirect is more on-topic for his sources. It appears that someone changed the first redirect without changing the second one as the child safety article and should be reverted. UppercutPawnch (talk) 08:28, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
