• Unusual uniform → List of Monster High characters (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

I cant really imagine anybody using this term for a wikilink, but if they were dollar to a donut they wouldn't want to be linking to an article on a doll. TheLongTone (talk) 18:24, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. Misleading. I would think they would be looking for special sweaters or third jerseys that sports teams sometimes wear. -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 06:09, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom and 65.94. Surely the whole point of a uniform is that it is, er, uniform, and thus by definition not unusual. Si Trew (talk) 14:20, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Rumänien → Romania (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

No affinity for German. - TheChampionMan1234 07:26, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there is a *Frankreich → France redirect, why not for Romania? ES Vic (talk) 06:35, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, language spoken by Germans of Romania. Siuenti (talk) 20:28, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable organisation. - TheChampionMan1234 07:25, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Retargeted to Romavia. Sorry, it was supposed to go to here. I must have made typos. WhisperToMe (talk) 07:29, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Close Creator WhisperToMe has fixed the three redirects to Romavia, which has notability exhibited. 野狼院ひさし _{Hisashi Yarouin} 05:45, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as retargetted. This is the full legal name of the former governmental airline Romavia, a subject that is clearly notable. Thryduulf (talk) 12:07, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Republic of Korea → South Korea (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Its pretty much harmful, as if you transclude it, it will end up trascluding an entire article. - TheChampionMan1234 07:21, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I would even go as far as say that redirects to the article space from the template space could be proposed to become a new speedy deletion criterion, but I digress. Steel1943 (talk) 15:14, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment I have a recollection that this was proposed once but was not regarded as suitable as deletion was not always the desired outcome (e.g. some should be retargetted) and they aren't especially frequent. Thryduulf (talk) 12:12, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong delete clearly harmful if anyone tried to transclude this -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 06:17, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to Template:Regions and administrative divisions of South Korea (where Template:South Korea redirects), as this is what someone using this is most likely expecting. Thryduulf (talk) 12:12, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment not sure if someone who types in {{Country name}} has any specific expectation. Usage is too varied, e.g. {{Mexico}} (WikiProject template), {{Kazakhstan}} (general topics footer), {{Armenia}} and {{Azerbaijan}} (general topics sidebars).

It appears that a lot of {{Country name}}s were moved and then the resulting redirects deleted under WP:CSD#T3 (though that seems like kind of a stretch to me), like {{Uzbekistan}} and {{Brazil}}. Also {{Taiwan}} & {{China}} used to go to flag templates {{TWN}} & {{CHN}} but also got deleted under T3. Also, {{United States}} was deleted at RfD two years ago. 61.10.165.33 (talk) 08:30, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Cinematic Music Group → Joey Badass (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

There is no proper target for this page. Joey Badass is one of the more recent signings, but Big Krit and Smoke DZA have been signed to the management label much longer. It is covered trivially in passing on all three pages. Since the owner, founder, or CEO do not have their own article, there is no informative target for the label.

• TVRage → TVTome (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

DELETE. The TVRage article currently redirects to an unrelated article. TVRage does not need an article on Wikipedia because it is an not notable and unreliable website. Wikipedia has been targed by TVRage with lots of Spam and Meat Puppets.
