  • Selam, on IRC → wiktionary:Appendix:Internet slang (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Redirect to Wiktionary with an implausible title; phrase isn't even listed at the target page. — PublicAmpers&(main accounttalkblock) 18:52, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. A speedy deletion was attempted in 2006, and it was decided to keep and redirect to the slang list pending a search for a reliable source. Since the term "slm" or "selam" is not on the list at present, there seems to have been ample time to have found a reliable source and to have added it to the slang list. I just spent some search time on it and could find no connection to either "slm" or "selam" as a common slang term in Internet chats. – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 21:26, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Romina

The result of the discussion was dabify. Technically set-indexify, I guess. --BDD (talk) 16:30, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion; "Romina" is not an alternative name for Romania (not even in other languages), it is an italian given name (cfr.); the redirect is very old (2006), so I brought it here instead of proposing for speedy deletion Syrio can I help? 13:42, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Convert to disambiguation page - most likely someone using this redirect would be looking for a person with this as a given name. The Whispering Wind (talk) 17:00, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Convert to dab, per TWW. Should be fairly easy to do:
Extended content

  • Disambiguate per The Whispering Wind and PublicAmpersand. Keeping "Romina" as a redirect to Romania is misleading, and not even a common misspelling. Whereas redirection implies the opposite, disambiguation elaborates on what a search of "Romina" is actually likely to mean. — |J~Pæst|  00:06, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • (given name). Better than a disambiguation page, convert it to "Romina (given name)", similar to Prunella (given name) and aligned with WikiProject Anthroponymy (provided that the names on PublicAmpers&'s Extended content list are all given names and that some of them are not patronymic names). – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 19:27, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
