The result of the discussion was disambiguate. (non-admin closure) Cremastra 🎄 u — c 🎄 19:26, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No mention at target and not an expression commonly used to refer to the Italian Empire. There seems to be no primary topic.

Thus, I propose to either retarget to New Rome (disambiguation), or DABify with Byzantine Empire, Holy Roman Empire, Third Rome, and Italian Empire. Veverve (talk) 22:51, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to A/B testing. The WordsmithTalk to me 04:51, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Term not at target; term is mentioned at Software testing tactics and A/B testing, but could seemingly refer to any of the topics at Multivariate testing (disambiguation). Not sure what's best here. Mdewman6 (talk) 02:31, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Notified of this discussion at the proposed target.

Castilleja chromosa

The result of the discussion was withdrawn and articlefied. (non-admin closure) Cremastra ‹ u — c › 23:15, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Castilleja chromosa is an accepted species name according to Plants of the World Online and World Flora Online. Having this page redirect to another accepted species name Castilleja angustifolia is an error. As there is not an appropriate target for the redirect it should be deleted to not mislead readers until such time that a full article is created. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 17:20, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I guess. Seems to be very well-researched (at least, compared to the taxa I'm used to trying to write articles about), so I'll start a draft. Cremastra ‹ u — c › 20:53, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cremastra Cool if you do. I ran across it when I was writing Castilleja scabrida and I thought I might create it, but I would not be able to get to it for about four weeks and so I thought I'd list it and come back to it after I de-stub some other pages. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 21:24, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw? @Cremastra has started working on an article already just rewriting the redirect. Is there a way to drop this off the RfD? My concerns are being addressed. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 03:05, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete Estados Unidos da América as uncontested. The rest are a total trainwreck and need to be renominated individually. * Pppery * it has begun... 18:24, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Portuguese
  2. Japanese
  3. Russian
  4. Russian
  5. French
  6. German

All of these were recently created and I tagged several others for speedy deletion based on previous discussions that resulted in deletion, but these did not have previous discussions. Delete as redirects in a language other than English to a page whose subject is unrelated to that language (point 8 of WP:R#DELETE)/per WP:RFOREIGN. I also CSD tagged several other recently created redirects that had been deleted as the result of previous discussions, but these ones had not been explicitly discussed previously.

delete all per nom. not in the mood to do this again. what the hell is a portuguese cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 17:29, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete most of them per nom and WP:RLOTE. Also @Hey man im josh I think you included ভাৰত by accident, that redirect targets to India. However, I'm not sure about Estados Unidos da América which is the Portuguese translation. We do have Estados Unidos which was kept at RfD previously as the Spanish language has an affinity with the U.S., being the second most spoken language there. We also have Estados Unidos de América which is the Spanish translation. I'm leaning towards delete since Portuguese doesn't have much of an affinity with the U.S. but just wanted to note this.
Fathoms Below (talk) 17:34, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Urgh, yeah, I gotta take it slower sometimes. I'm removing that one to India, thanks for pointing this out @Fathoms Below. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:00, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
hmm... would i consider a single letter in a possessive article to be a significant enough difference that it changes a redirect from a language with strong affinity to one with no affinity beyond how much people want to bang jetstream sam? absolutely cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 18:04, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all per nom but keep the Spanish redirect in all cases. America speaks Spanish, right? 67.209.128.30 (talk) 03:00, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I specifically avoided nominating any Spanish redirects, none of which were recent creations I believe, unlike the entries nominated, which were all recently created. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:10, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
no, no, let the misconception that brazil (whatever that is) speaks spanish be spread :3 cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 11:11, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete all except The.scene for which there was no consensus. Jay 💬 11:42, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These all seem to be quite WP:UNNATURAL typos or replacements. For the first 2, I can't find any evidence that it's a stylization or the like. mwwv converse∫edits 14:12, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: For the first 2: These are encoded format names, with spaces substituted with periods/dots/fullstops. It is an affectation of some methods for encoding spaces in URLs by some pieces of software -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 16:32, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

while likely a plausible r from alternative scientific name or something, it's unmentioned, and results only gave me a brand of adult juices (i think it's booze, at least) and a list of words that rhyme with "matpat" cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 19:47, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete The word appears to be documented as a synonym for ant in The Endangered English Dictionary: Bodacious Words Your Dictionary Forgot, p. 30 (the only evidence of it I could find), but without any other use of it anywhere, I'm having trouble thinking of it as a reasonable redirect. Still, might be useful for someone reading "calicrat" in an old book and wondering what it means, so not too sure. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 21:30, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete The fact that it appears in the Endangered English Dictionary is a bad omen. OED has an entry, though the definition is under a paywall. The etymology section says "The only known use of the noun calicrat is in the late 1500s." So, no, I don't think it is a scientific name or anything of that sort. WP:RDELETE's obscure synonym clause appears here. Ca talk to me! 23:30, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – Exactly one documented actual usage I could find ever, and it's from 1596. Oxford seems to concur with this. So we're talking about one line from one poem of no note written by one passably notable poet in the 1590s. The only context it's ever been used in outside of that as best I can tell (about 10 minutes' worth of searching) is Grambs 1994 and a select few obscure websites piggybacking off of Grambs 1994 by defining it as well. There's zero reason to think anyone would be stymied by this word's meaning and search it on Wikipedia. We wouldn't even include this on Wiktionary, which is extremely generous with arcahic words, because it fails inclusion criteria. WP:CHEAP, sure, but this is so implausible as to be literally worthless. (Also, this has nothing to do with scientific naming; this was over 100 years before Linnaeus was born.) TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 23:32, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It's a poetic term for ant, definitely not a hapax legomenon, as attested by this 1896 poem. Jamieson wrote about it in his dictionary (1, 2), as have others since. Redirects are cheap, but a mention in the Callicrates article might suffice. Neodop (talk) 23:57, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I know a lot of obscure English terms thanks to Wiktionary, and if it took me a massive amount of digging on the internet just to get a hint as to what it means then it's too obscure for Wiktionary - let alone something as notability-driven as ENWP Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 06:12, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:CHEAP per Neodop. It is conceivable that someone finds it an old book and understandably looks it up in the encyclopedia to see what this felid species they haven't heard of if. And they will bc helped. Cremastra ‹ u — c › 12:39, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as made-up pseudo-neologism per 35.139.154.158. 67.209.128.30 (talk) 03:03, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How is it a pseudo-neologism? What does that mean? It's an archaic word, not a new one Cremastra ‹ u — c › 01:12, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
