Soft redirect category, left over after the category was renamed to the correct Category:Electronic music festivals in the Netherlands. I don't see the need to keep this one, it's unlikely people will search for this specific capitalisation. Or is it normal to have category redirects from alternative capitalisations? Robofish (talk) 22:43, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- (I reviewed the guidance at WP:Category redirects that should be kept, and I don't think this qualifies.) Robofish (talk) 22:43, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. There are no uses or links to this redirect. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:08, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep, some people might mistakenly capitalize the T in "the," but I don't know about it with there being no links to the redirect. Regards, SONIC678 05:41, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete – Any search will find a match to the correct article irrespective of the capitalization. Keeping it will only legitimize the incorrect capitalization if used as a link in articles. Senator2029 “Talk” 10:34, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

While this is Ryan Tyler's birth first and middle name, I can't find any evidence that he has ever been known by this name. The disambiguator is also not ideal for a country singer. I would suggest deletion. signed, Rosguill talk 20:40, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Enwiki has nothing about an artist called Ryan Lindsay. There is the husband of John Ross Palmer but the article doesn't say he's an artist and doesn't establish notability. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:17, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

In line with the original page move, this should probably be deleted to keep it from popping up in the search bar as it is misleading and not mentioned in the target.

- It's the creating editor's script (User:DemonDays64/Scripts/Dumb quotes). — J947 [cont] 20:39, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Requesting help from the community in deciding on the best target for these. The first one has been pointing to the dab page Wikipedia:Censorship since 2006 (having briefly oscillated between this target and the page on meta m:Censorship). The plural form targeted the same meta page 2005–2006, was then repointed to MediaWiki:Bad image list in 2006 and then retargeted again in 2014 to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images#Offensive images. Pings to the most recently involved editors: Ardric47, Jarble, CesarB, Korg. – Uanfala (talk) 20:15, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to 2nd. These should clearly both go to the same place. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:21, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Ambiguous search term, could also refer to the establishment of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Poland, the Provisional Government of National Unity, or the Polish People's Republic. Most Scholar search results seem to use "sovietization" (or at least, sovietization in the context of Eastern Bloc states) to refer to the 1945–1956 period. I would suggest deletion. signed, Rosguill talk 19:39, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete ambiguous term. Probably too vague to be an article. Soviet influence in Poland doesn't exist (yet) and Poland–Russia relations#Soviet Union doesn't seem to be a suitable target, as it is underdeveloped and does not mention the developments above. buidhe 08:12, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Romania was never part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Super Ψ Dro 18:24, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Although parts of modern Romania were within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this redirect is misleading and confusing. It suggests that all of it was, and that was never true. We don't have redirects from e.g. Austro-Hungarian Empire (Bohemia) or Austro-Hungarian Empire (Moravia), which were wholly within that Empire, nor should we. Narky Blert (talk) 18:39, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per above. I could see Austro-Hungarian Empire (Bohemia) as being a useful redirect to Bohemia under Habsburg rule or similar, but that article does not exist. buidhe 08:18, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

- Comment since it looks like my speedy suggestion is ineligible given a prior RfD, but it seems worth mentioning that after looking at the creator's talk page, this editor had a history of creating G10 deleted pages that led to a block. The editor has since been unblocked and apologized, admitting that several redirects were things that the editor didn't like, and I think this one falls in that category. -2pou (talk) 07:22, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

No real possibility of confusion with other films called Trance, except for the obscure Austrian one with no article in either English or German WP. Narky Blert (talk) 07:03, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

"Social recession" is a real, if very recent thing; see, e.g., https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/america-faces-social-recession/608548/. It is not the same thing as a recession, nor is it mentioned in the recession article. Dan Bloch (talk) 02:57, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - Whoever actually got to New Zealand by using this redirect needs to get a new space bar or keyboard. Anyway, it's a pointless redirect and people would probably just go to this redirect instead. Kori (@) 01:19, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- It's not pointless; the pageviews demonstrate that. There is nothing to be gained by deleting this redirect – other than annoying readers for no reason whatsoever. — J947 [cont] 04:11, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

- Probably from some copying of URLs and pasting into the URL bar incorrectly. Anyhow – the redirect is helpful and harmless, thus we shouldn't delete it. — J947 [cont] 19:23, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. Using + separators in URIs instead of spaces is a common method of avoiding the ugly %20 encoding so its not implausible and page views show it is actually used. So deletion would be harmful and not bring any benefits. Thryduulf (talk) 20:48, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per Thryduulf. I don't support mass creation of this sort of thing, but it's pretty standard for + to show up in a url rather than a space. It's supposed to be just as part of a form parameter (see these two stack overflow questions: [6] [7]) but in historical practice pops up elsewhere, especially when coming from search urls. No harm, potentially helpful, no need to delete. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 11:29, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Why would anybody search for this in Latin? TheAwesomeHwyh 01:54, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:RFFL. No real connection between the United States and the Latin language. Hog Farm (talk) 02:12, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep – Unlike the United Kingdom, English is not a de jure official language in the United States. Therefore, the name of the country should be translated to many languages, even in Bengali (মার্কিন যুক্তরাষ্ট্র). --Soumyabrata talk contribs subpages 05:10, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:RLOTE. Note that in Latin, the three words could validly be arranged in any of the six possible orders. Narky Blert (talk) 07:09, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - Redirect is absurd, users would simply translate a title and find the article. It is doubtful that anyone would type it in Latin. Kori (@) 01:16, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete fails WP:RFFL. buidhe 08:23, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- Reply - The reason for its creation isn't because someone might type it in, but to correctly link within the encyclopedia. The term was already listed on the disambiguation page CFA and linked to the United States article. Senator2029 “Talk” 04:11, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. Unlikely search term in several ways. Narky Blert (talk) 07:10, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep This redirect actually receives more pageviews than the correctly capitalized, WP:THE-free American United States. From July 2015 to March 2020, this redirect received 707 pageviews, American United States received 427, and 73831561 for the target. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 07:35, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep - It's a stretch, but it's somewhat plausible, and the capitalization is consistent throughout. Hog Farm (talk) 14:32, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per pageviews. I can't imagine why people are more likely to type this than to type American United States, but apparently they are. Nyttend backup (talk) 20:17, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:RCAPS. Since The American United States didn't exist before I just created it, this redirect catches all usage that is not caps sensitive. Moving forward, that problem has now been resolved by funneling usage through the correct redirect. -- Tavix (talk) 22:37, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Appears to be the name of a book about the history of Kentucky and a film set in Kentucky, so the less-common state nickname isn't the only potential usage. WP:REDLINK might apply for the book. Hog Farm (talk) 00:21, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep This phrase is used in a lot of older works about Kentucky and was a popular folk etymology of its name that isn't currently discussed in the article, but probably should be. If an article on a book or movie appears in the future, it's already covered by existing policy. --Spasemunki (talk) 01:52, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
