• Levantine Films → Donna Gigliotti  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete: At the moment, "Levantine Films" redirects to the producer Donna Gigliotti, who used to work for the company but has since moved on. Gigliotti's page is a stub and Levantine Films is not mentioned anywhere on her page. I would like to to delete this redirect. I feel like it meets the criteria for deletion on account of being confusing. Shs326 (talk) 16:34, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• How was that → Appeal (cricket)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

It is a question and should not be a redirect Flow 234 (Nina) talk 10:05, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. It looks like this is largely unused, as it only received two hits in the 90 days preceding this nomination. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 16:13, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Notecardforfree. Zhangj1079 (T|C) 18:52, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete vague phrase. I do see "Howzat" and "How's that" in the article, so those may be the more familiar versions.AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:09, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Erika Heß → Erika Hess  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Wrong redirect: Erika Heß was a German mayor of the Berlin-Wedding district after WWII, Erika Hess a Swiss ski champion. Confusion ensues; better have a red link for the mayor. — JFG ^talk 09:46, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Apparently, ß is an abbreviation of ss. As well, from the looks of the , Erika Hess is simply the former German mayor's name without diacritics. More about it here. Zhangj1079 (T|C) 19:03, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Zhang is correct about the equivalence between ß and ss, but the ß is not used in Switzerland and the ski champion is Swiss. Therefore, Hess herself would never use this spelling. However, in the event an article is made about the mayor, we would need to hatnote it, as Germans do sometimes write ß as ss. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 23:32, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. I came upon this error by following a link to Erika Heß in a page about post-WWII reconstruction in bombed German cities (Trümmerfrau). It was weird to be linked to a much-younger Swiss skier. I removed the link[1] and filed this RfD. — JFG ^talk 00:02, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete different person, unlikely typo. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:05, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. As discussed above, it is wrong to contract German ss in proper names to ß where the native form is ss. (But it's correct to expand ß as ss when only plain English alphabet is available or when German and Austrian names are converted to Swiss German.) It's a many-to-one mapping.

The result of the discussion was Re-target to Radiative forcing. Ruslik_Zero 19:49, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Climate forcing agents → Category:Climate forcing agents  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Cross-namespace redirect. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:37, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep WP:R2. Cross-namespace redirects states:This applies to Redirects, apart from shortcuts, from the main namespace to any other namespace except the Category:, Template:, Wikipedia:, Help: and Portal: namespaces. Bosley John Bosley (talk) 11:44, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete BHG is correct, cross-namespace redirects like this are typically deleted, per WP:R#DELETE. BJB, you are referring to the CSD criterion R2, which is not being invoked here and is not relevant. If CHG had made a CSD tagging to the page, you'd have a point. She didn't, she nominated it for discussion here in line with policy on redirects. EdChem (talk) 13:51, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, a redirect to the category (where information can be found) is better than no information at all. "Cross-namespace redirect" is not by itself a convincing argument for deletion. —Kusma (t·c) 18:16, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Should this go to Radiative forcing which is what climate forcing goes to? I don't see the agents part though, but the primary topic for the Category is that article. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 04:01, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to radiative forcing, which defines "climate forcing" in the lead. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 19:27, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per my comment above (hazardous air pollutants), because having this as a redirect to a category of articles about climate forcing agents is better than having it as a redlink. I don't particularly care whether it goes to the category or to an article about this subject, so I'm neutral on the retarget idea. Nyttend (talk) 23:44, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• delete per WP:REDLINK. Judging from what I've found, most of the members of the category are not properly members; we need a main article, and it appears that there's plenty of sourcing for that. Mangoe (talk) 15:15, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Hinduism in Tristan da Cunha → Tristan da Cunha  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete since Hinduism does not exist in Tristan da Cunha. Per Tristan da Cunha#Demographics: The only religion is Christianity, with denominations of Anglican and Roman Catholic. -- Tavix ^(talk) 02:41, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Removing incoming links would be caught up in a complication involving Template:Africa topic. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:37, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The complication being a red link? I don't see any problem with that. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 23:36, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If a certain navigation template is so set up that it's impossible to remove a redlink from it, then this is a problem of that template, and not of any other part of the encyclopedia. – Uanfala 21:35, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per my comments in the other discussions. – Uanfala 21:35, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Senate House Education → Norton House Education  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I'm unable to find any sources indicating Senate House Education and Norton House Education were the same company. Further, some editors have contested this fact at Norton House Education (see edit history) and there's no reference at all to Senate House Education at that page. This redirect is of questionable accuracy, so it should likely be deleted. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 02:27, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. Senate House is a disambiguation page that lists several buildings called "Senate House" at institutions of higher learning, but I don't think that would be an appropriate target for "Senate House Education." -- Notecardforfree (talk) 16:18, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
