No mention in article. Quick online search didn't enlighten. Widefox; talk 23:12, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete insulting redirect without any apparent connection Traumnovelle (talk) 23:37, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete punning play on the Sqn's nickname "Dambusters" but there's no evidence for this usage so it might just be an attempt at a joke. No claim was made when the redirect was set up. I don't think we need it. DBaK (talk) 23:41, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

These aren't the same thing, the lead clearly defines what that is and traditional architecture can encompass revival styles, which aren't vernacular. Traumnovelle (talk) 21:13, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

L10n (disambiguation)

The result of the discussion was delete. plicit 00:04, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like an implausible search for its current target. L10n (without "disambiguation") currently redirects to Language localisation and the current target of this redirect is ambiguous. Cannot trigger G14 as the target IS a disambiguation page. And if this gets retargeted to the same target as L10n (without "disambiguation"), then it would trigger G14. Cyber the tiger🐯 (talk) 20:30, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete L10n isn't a DAB page, and using @CyberTheTiger / 65.92's assumption that L10n means LITERALLY any terms that are LxxxxxxxxxN would mean WP:PTM at best and WP:ASTONISHING at worst User:Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 02:45, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to British military vehicle markings of World War II#Allied star. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:00, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Equally appropriate for several other pages, see e.g. discussion of the subject at British military vehicle markings of World War II. Also, most common usage seems to be mispelling the company Alliedstar, which we don't have an article for. Rusalkii (talk) 02:40, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Attempted takeover of US federal agencies by Elon Musk

The result of the discussion was keep. asilvering (talk) 21:39, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Elon Musk's activities are not a "takeover of US federal agencies". If anything, he's looking to remove them. IMO, unlikely to be useful in the future. Delete. Wildfireupdateman :) (talk) 22:54, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep per reason 4 of WP:RFD#KEEP "Deleting redirects runs the risk of breaking incoming or internal links. Redirects resulting from page moves should not normally be deleted without good reason." //Lollipoplollipoplollipop::talk 23:03, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is another example of why I think Wikipedia should have a 6 week - 6 month period where editors have to wait to add an event to an article. The regularly sensational language of news media is not appropriate for an encyclopedia.

Sharqi Arabic

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. As there was no support for keeping at the current target of Varieties of Arabic, retargeting to Mashriqi Arabic as a compromise. Jay 💬 21:30, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned at target. "Sharqi" is apparently a romanisation of the Arabic word for "eastern", so maybe it could be retargeted to the DAB page Eastern Arabic. — Anonymous 23:17, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Should be a rd to Mashriqi Arabic, which did not exist when I created this.
Though there are no incoming links, there are a couple hits on Gbooks from the 2010's that contrast Sharqi dialects and Maghrebi dialects. — kwami (talk) 23:48, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Junkers Ju 53

The result of the discussion was delete. plicit 14:33, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For reasons listed in this discussion, this redirect appears to have been made in error. While there almost certainly was a Ju 53, the few sources that mention it state that it was a "twin-engined reconnaissance aircraft", while the A35 was a single-engined aircraft. The confusion likely arose because Junkers built a variant of the A 35 called the K 53. ZLEA T\C 04:45, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian Oak

The result of the discussion was delete. Jay 💬 22:12, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I can't find any evidence that "Canadian oak" refers to American chestnut (thefreedictionary.com scrapes Wikipedia). From what I can find, "Canadian oak" is oak wood sourced from Canada, often used for making barrels in alcoholic beverage production. Canadian oak wood may be from Quercus alba (this is generally considered one of the best species for barrel making), but there are some websites that mention Quercus rubra as being a source of Canadian oak. Plantdrew (talk) 20:07, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

After a short search I cannot find a source either. The species is planted very locally in South Africa as a street tree, and then appears to be known by the name "Canadian oak". It was introduced to me by that name, but the person who did so died during covid, so I cannot check with him either. It may be a commercial name, or a name that is suppressed to avoid confusion. You may delete. JMK (talk) 20:40, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguate – this phrase is used [7] [8] [9] and may lead readers to the not-unreasonable assumption that there is a tree species known as the "Canadian oak". There are several oak species found in Canada [10] and these can be listed on the DAB page as they could all be referred to as "Canadian oak". Cremastra (talk) 17:33, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The phrase is used, but disambiguating the potential sources of a product of a particular national origin doesn't make much sense to me. The phrase "Canadian oil" is used, but it would be silly to disambiguate the oil companies or oil fields in Canada where Canadian oil might come from.

The result of the discussion was retarget to ISNT. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:03, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

With these caps, far more likely to be a mispelling of Isn't. Rusalkii (talk) 01:49, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

'Comment' There was a previous RFD for this redirect at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2020_December_30#Isnt so it can't be closed as "retarget" I was wrong. See WP:CCC. User:Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 01:52, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
What makes you say it "can't" be closed as retarget? I'm pretty sure anything is possible if community consensus has changed. Nonetheless, I personally don't believe that it should be retargeted, as "isn't" doesn't exist as a redirect (probably for the best). I would say just delete to avoid confusion (with keeping at the current target a secondary option). — Anonymous 02:03, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe this Youtuber's full name, but it isn't mentioned in the article and I don't think there's high-quality sourcing to add it, so there's a WP:BLP concern as well. Rusalkii (talk) 01:38, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed that SIMBAD sometimes omits some old designations originating in Flamsteed, Bayer, Gould naming systems. If I'm looking at some 19th or 18th century work with these designations, they don't show up when I try to look it up in SIMBAD. -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 05:06, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
