This is the only redirect on wikipedia that is constructed with a "(" to begin and a "/" to end. Apparently there "is an external link that points here", but to my understanding there is no context beyond that, and Wikipedia should not be responsible for accommodating the entire internet's incoming typos, as this is not a plausible search term in any capacity.

Unlikely redirect due to the use of the characters " (" and ")", which makes this redirect WP:MIXEDSCRIPT since they are not used in standard English keyboards and the rest of the words/characters in this redirect utilize alphabetical characters. Steel1943 (talk) 18:18, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for that, I was just echoing the sentiment from the other nomination as I still couldn't believe I didn't think to check the general case too 😅. Forgot that mixedscript and forred were different links; I think you're right about this being the former, as the language is still in English and therefore that part is all good, but the punctuation is borrowed from a non-English character set, hence mixed script. Thanks for the tip! Utopes(talk / cont)18:48, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As per above. Also, it fails the name format for a list of characters. The original creator must have been using an IME or on mobile with a secondary keyboard layout since those parentheses are impossible to type in with a standard US or European keyboard layout. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs

The character at the end of these redirects are not parenthesis. These are the only four instances where this happens across all of Wikipedia. None of these cases are likely to be typed with the special full-width punctuation at the end. Utopes(talk / cont)18:06, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I'm not going to rule out some redirects with full-width parentheses having value (although I can't think of any ottomh where they are the only full-width characters). The only situation I can think of where a mix of standard and full-width parentheses makes sense in a title is for an article about the different types of parentheses.

There is no content at the target article related to "Ford Excuse." All I was able to find in a search on the phrase is that it must have been a Paul Shanklin parody of some sort. Whatever it was, it doesn't appear to be well-remembered so I see no use in having this title redirect to a page it isn't mentioned on. --Sable232 (talk) 16:05, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. The only detail of the ad I can find is someone recreating it using Lego, everything else in google hits is unrelated (most commonly they relate to Gerald Ford and the Watergate scandal, but nothing specific even approaches being primary topic).

Seems unlikely to be a plausible redirect, and a bit silly to have a US highway entry for a province in Canada. These were two separate highways that just happened to share a number across the border. Molandfreak(talk,contribs,email) 23:19, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, that's not a reasonable interpretation. US Routes by definition cannot continue through Canada. US and Canada are separate sovereignties, so that's jurisdictionally nonsensical. --Tavix(talk)17:30, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as implausible. I can't see how anyone would expect a U.S. highway to be designated in Canada, so these are silly at best - potentially misleading. --Sable232 (talk) 16:17, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Tara (Drina). This is the native name of that river, and the overwhelming primary topic for the exact term on Google results. Add a hatnote to the Russian river or the dab page. Thryduulf (talk) 22:03, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We seem to have reka Dunav since 2019, but no reka Sava, reka Drina, reka Bosna or any number of other more plausible ones for the more commonly known rivers from that area, so this seems excessive. --Joy (talk) 23:31, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because it's an indication that we can't typically entice English editors to make these, which is an indication that the English readers don't need it. Besides, the word is in Latin and capitalized, so the average English reader will recognize that if the search for the phrase fails, they can just search for the proper name part, find it in the disambiguation page, recognize it by English caption, and be done with it. The idea that anyone really needs this seems contrived to me. --Joy (talk) 08:35, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with nom. I don't find any English sources from Google. If I force Google to give me English results, I seem to get nothing. If "Reka" means river, we don't have an article about it on enwiki. At Reka (river) it says "Reka" is literally river in Slovene. Does the language have affinity to the region where the Tara flows - Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina? Jay 💬21:04, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. So the idea would be probably something like a situation where an English reader finds the whole term signposted somewhere, and enters the whole term in the English Wikipedia search box, that they navigate quickly as opposed to having to navigate as you normally do. A lot of toponymy could be done like that, and I don't know that we generally do that. --Joy (talk) 08:41, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The current redirect from Color symmetry to Color charge is outdated. I suggest replacing it with a Color symmetry disambiguation page constructed as follows:

Keep per the mentions in reliable sources brought up by Jean-de-Nivelle. FMSky, if you have concerns about the connection between the terms arena metal and arena rock, the Guardian article linked above contains the following comment: "Still much heavier and more overtly metallic than their modern arena-rock peers...", which implies that the writer is using the term arena metal to mean a variety of arena rock music, much like metal itself is a subgenre of rock music. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:51, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
