• Zoe tattarsall → List of Coronation Street characters (1997) (links to redirect • history • stats) 

Implausible typo Ooh, Fruity @ Ooh, Chatty 22:22, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. This is typo, but it doesn't look like an implausible one to me, and it's getting page views so evidently it isn't implausible to other's either. Thryduulf (talk) 02:02, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. It's a capitalization variant, not even a typo. Capitalization variants are not only accepted but a preferred use of redirects. Also, the redirect contains attribution history of the (multiple) title changes until the content was finally moved to the current page. Rossami (talk) 05:26, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is acutally a typo (or spelling error at least) - "tattarsall" vs "Tattersall". Thryduulf (talk) 10:24, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• 1898 Iowa Hawkeyes football team → Iowa Hawkeyes football (links to redirect • history • stats) 

Only non-notable Iowa football team page that redirects to Iowa Hawkeyes football, should not have a redirect. Iowa13 (talk) 19:04, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• keep, it seems as though there will be at some point in the future an article covering the period including 1898, and articles/redirects exit for other years so I don't see a reason to delete this. Thryduulf (talk) 21:32, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, though not necessarily keep-as-is. This page was at one point targetted to Iowa Hawkeyes football from 1889 to 1897. That page was rewritten to a narrower scope and 1898 was not included. I can't find an existing article covering that next decade but it seems that the editors working on the topic intend to flesh it out sooner or later. History of Iowa Hawkeyes football might be a better target in the meantime, though I could also make an argument for List of Iowa Hawkeyes football seasons.

Person doesn't appear to even exist. Sceptre ^(talk) 18:34, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Jasmine china → 2011 Chinese protests (links to redirect • history • stats) 

Vague redirect. Readers may be looking for species of Jasminum polyanthum Jasmine plants that grow in China. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 07:13, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. The only two things making any significant impact on Google searches for this term are an apparently non-notable adventure tours company and a non-notable Chinese restaurant in Salt Lake City, Utah. Thryduulf (talk) 11:56, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and redirect to the article on the Jasmine flower instead, which currently appears to be the more likely search topic long term. If these protests become larger and commonly known by this name, we can change it later.--Danaman5 (talk) 12:44, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep : A person with 'Jasmine in China' will be more likely to be intersted in the article, as if he/she is interested in flower then he/she will use the city name instead of 'china' to search for flowers. The number of persons interested in this article will be many many times multiple than those interested in flowers, at this particular time especially. Is The Chinese government banning the search for Jasmine flower ?????????????????? --Maheshkumaryadav (talk) 13:24, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • CommentI would like to comment that anything with Jasmine on the english wiki is not blocked in China, otherwise I am in some kind of weird dream right now.Zlqq2144 (talk) 13:27, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The search for 'Jasmine' on Chinese search engines is banned and doesn't show results, the SMS with 'jasmine' word also don't go through--Maheshkumaryadav (talk) 13:33, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Dear neutron star, how, may I ask, is this relevant at all to this RfD discussion? -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 13:37, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete nothing to do with the flower, or the tea, or Jasmine patterns on china/porcelain. 65.93.15.125 (talk) 05:30, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep marginal but contains names likely to be used in searches for the 2011 protests. User:Fred Bauder Talk 19:28, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • But that's what the search function is for. There is no need for a redirect to exist for that reason. May I remind you that a search function does exist on Wikipedia. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 12:40, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • While Wikiepdia does have an internal search function, this is far from the only way that people find Wikipedia articles and redirects help a great many people find the articles they are looking for using these other methods. Thryduulf (talk) 17:29, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • This is a highly misleading redirect. If it should exist, it should be a disambiguation page, since the current target has nothing to do with jasmine patterned china, Jasmine tea in China, or Jasmine (plant) in China. 65.95.15.144 (talk) 06:02, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Jasmine revolution china → 2011 Chinese protests (links to redirect • history • stats) 

Use of "revolution" is inappropriate, and a serious POV issue. Such wording implies that there has been a successful regime overthrow, which is definitely not the case. inb4 WP:CRYSTALBALL arguments by the creator -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 07:11, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, it is clearly related to the article and the calls are for jasmine revoltuion,
• Keep, it is 100% clear that the '2011 Chinese protests' is the content that 'Jasmine revolution in China' refers to. The article itself should be named 'Jasmine revolution in China'--Maheshkumaryadav (talk) 13:38, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • commentThat was its name before the AfD discussion, it changed for a reason.Zlqq2144 (talk) 13:32, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • No it is not 100% clear, otherwise there wouldn't even be a RfD. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 13:34, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• As a word-order variant of China's Jasmine revolution which is being discussed below, you could argue that the decision here should follow the decision of that discussion. This one is a bit less straight-forward, however, since "Jasmine revolution china" is not grammatically correct and helps readers neither through the search engine nor through conventional linking. This redirect should not have been created. That leaves me at a very weak keep only because deletion would add another trivial record to the database and not be worth cleaning out. Rossami (talk) 22:40, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Redirect to npov name User:Fred Bauder Talk 19:31, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep A redirect does not imply that the indirect name is to be encouraged (exceptions are probably abbreviations, which are probably "accepted", which is weaker than "encouraged"). The instructions when moving a page say AFAIR that links to the indirect name should be converted to links to the direct name, even if the rendered version is kept constant - e.g. [[China's Jasmine revolution]] should be (at least) changed to [[China's Jasmine revolution|2011 Chinese protests]], and depending on NPOV etc issues, the indirect name can also be removed in the link. But the redirect should remain in case people accidentally (or during an NPOV dispute) keep linking to the indirect name. Boud (talk) 09:41, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Chinese protests → 2011 Chinese protests (links to redirect • history • stats) 

Vague redirect. Chinese people have been protesting against things since 4000BC. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 07:04, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Disambiguate between the encyclopaedically notable protests we have articles on. A google search of the English Wikipedia forChinese protests brings up Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, 2011 Chinese protests, Nanjing anti-African protests, 2005 anti-Japanese demonstrations, 2010 Chinese labour unrest, Dongzhou protests, 1025 rally to safeguard Taiwan and 2008 Tibetan unrest on the first page that could all reasonably be added to such a disambiguation page. Thryduulf (talk) 11:44, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or disambiguate I fail to see how anyone could think Chinese only has ever had the current very small protests the target article is about. Is the events that preceded the Boxer Rebellion fluff to be ignored? Or the protests of Confucians to the severity of the First Emperor?? 65.93.15.125 (talk) 06:13, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as disambiguation page. Rossami (talk) 22:32, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as disambiguation page. That was a really good idea by Lenticel. MMetro (talk) 23:33, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Or it could go to China protests for disambiguation, whichever is better MOS. MMetro (talk) 23:40, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Two sessions → 2011 Chinese protests (links to redirect • history • stats) 

Vague redirect that does not match with the redirected article. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 06:45, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: As the word 'jasmine' banned and censored in China. The protesters are using 'two sessions' as an alternative. Thus it is 100% linked to the article--Maheshkumaryadav (talk) 06:51, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • However the term is quite vague, that is, it can be confused with a wide number of other things that are termed similarly. For example, within the Australian Capital Territory, some instances of local governmental meetings can also be referred to as "two sessions". -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 06:53, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - "Two sessions"(两会) is much more widely used in Chinese to refer to the yearly meetings of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (The meetings occur at the same time every year in early March, hence the shorthand). Since this shorthand will continue to be used every year to refer to the meetings of the two bodies, it makes no sense to create this redirect to this year's events of as yet unknown significance. It would be better to redirect to the already existing article Lianghui. This redirect has to go.--Danaman5 (talk) 09:16, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Disambiguate. It would seem sensible to have a page that says "Two sessions" usually refers collectively to the yearly meetings of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. It may also refer to 2011 Chinese protests" (if the latter is verifiable). Thryduulf (talk) 11:47, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • First of all, the fate of the 2011 Chinese protests article is currently unclear with the AFD ongoing. If it is deleted, a disambiguation page obviously won't make much sense. However, disambiguation pages are not generally used for just two articles anyway. Why don't we have "two sessions" redirect to Lianghui, and then put a mention of the protests in that article if need be?--Danaman5 (talk) 12:39, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete a disambiguation page would have to be several hundred entries to list all the possible pages this could apply to. 65.93.15.125 (talk) 05:32, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Search two sessions in Google [1] and google news [2] comes up with relatively few results about Lianghui, and it happened not long ago. Even less (I have found one) connects it to the protest thing. So I doubt we need this redirect for anything. It is almost unknown to be redirected to the protest and for Lianghui, people who know the name Two sessions probably know which sessions they are anyway.Zlqq2144 (talk) 05:49, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep checks out as Grass Mud Horse Lexicon, see http://chinadigitaltimes.net/2011/02/murong-xuecun-on-the-absurdities-of-chinese-censorship/ User:Fred Bauder Talk 19:35, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • But GMH lexicon is not correct lexicon. Are you saying that GMH lexicon is more significant than a part of the government body of a country? Well, using the same logic you are using, I could argue that faggot be redirected to idiot or something, as according to 4chan lexicon, "faggot" means any person with a particular trait, which is included beforehand (for example, "amerifag" means someone from America, and "nvidiafag" is someone who owns a Nvidia video card), and does not specifically refer to homosexuals. Obviously, such a move wouldn't be acceptable on Wikipedia at all. So why use GMH lexicon here? -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 12:44, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Jasmine in China → 2011 Chinese protests (links to redirect • history • stats) 

Bad faith misleading redirect. If a reader is, say, looking for information on selling Jasmine flowers in China, they are incorrectly redirected to a political article. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 06:45, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep : A person with 'Jasmine in China' will be more likely to be intersted in the article, as if he/she is interested in flower then he/she will use the city name instead of 'china' to search for flowers. The number of persons interested in this article will be many many times multiple than those interested in flowers, at this particular time especially --Maheshkumaryadav (talk) 06:56, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• 2011 Chinese uprising → 2011 Chinese protests (links to redirect • history • stats)

• 'Delete, not for being a POV violation (see WP:RNEUTRAL) but because this term does not appear to be being used at present. Thryduulf (talk) 11:50, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, The dictionary states meaning of - up·ris·ing as: The act or an instance of rising or rising up. These acts and instances in China clearly show this is an uprising. In todays world the showing or getting together of masses online is equivalent to that showing in ground. There is no some without fire.--Maheshkumaryadav (talk) 13:20, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • And who, may I ask, is rising up? About 5 people, out of a country of 1,300,000,000 people? Do you really call that an "uprising"? Also, please stop ruining the page formatting by adding unnecessary line breaks, please. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 13:36, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• China protests → 2011 Chinese protests (links to redirect • history • stats) 

Vague redirect. An analogy would be to redirect "America attack" to September 11, 2001 attacks. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 06:42, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Needed redirect: A search for 'China protests' or 'Chinese protests' is not returning the current '2011 Chinese protests' the person searches. So this redirect is needed to guide the searcher to reach the page he/she is searching.--Maheshkumaryadav (talk) 06:46, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: When an individual searches he doesn't type full words like 'chinese' he most likely useses 'China' only so this redirect is necessary to guide the person to the page he is searching. --Maheshkumaryadav (talk) 13:10, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes but the main point we are discussing is why redirecting it to 2011 protest? There have been numerous protests which are more notable than this one.Zlqq2144 (talk) 13:12, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete or disambiguate I fail to see how anyone could think China only has ever had the current very small protests the target article is about. Is the events that preceded the Boxer Rebellion fluff to be ignored? Or the protests of Confucians to the severity of the First Emperor?? 65.93.15.125 (talk) 05:35, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    • Personally I think this should be the redirect to Chinese protests. Thryduulf (talk) 09:04, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'm okay with the retargetting it to Chinese protests.---Lenticel ^(talk) 05:45, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to Chinese protests which would be the correct grammatical variant. Subsequent keep/delete should follow the decision about that page. Rossami (talk) 22:27, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Could be deleted or redirected to a disambiguation page, Chinese protests. User:Fred Bauder Talk 19:39, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Chinese protests disambiguation. Wiki only needs one, and it should go to either term, whatever is better MOS. MMetro (talk) 23:39, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
