This mythical creature seems to have a lot of names, but this one fails to appear at target article. I also can't find a reliable source that provides any evidence of its usage. CycloneYoristalk!23:49, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I was pinged here. I created the redirect 11 years ago. I don't remember creating it, but the name Amamayong did appear at this article at the time. No doubt that's why I made the redirect. See revision history: [1]. By all means though delete the redirect if a reliable source can't be found. Damien Linnane (talk) 00:59, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was procedural close, as redirect has been converted to an article. I'll move it to the proper capitalization. N.b., if the BLAR edit-warring was recent, such a close would not be appropriate. --BDD (talk) 15:48, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the page history suggests that the article was originally about the daughter of Catherine Caradja (as she died in 1997, Catherine in 1993), but subsequent edits introduced a mix-up over who adopted Ottomar Rodolphe Vlad Dracula Prince Kretzulesco. It is most likely that anyone redirected from Kretzulesco would be have been looking for someone of this family rather than Dracula. EdwardUK (talk) 23:18, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. STFU also means "Southern Tenant Farmers Union", and that is the main abbreviation. But there are other STFU thingys, so no need to move anything from now. Seventyfiveyears at 17:12, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Oh wow, I just noticed this redirect had a prior RfD: Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 June 12#STFU. @BDD: As the editor who basically stated the rationale that resulted in the redirect being "kept" since most other participants cited it for their rationale, do you have any thoughts on this and/or has anything changed in the last five years? (STFU (disambiguation) was created a few months ago, so there may be something new.) Steel1943 (talk) 23:00, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I think things have changed in the emergence of new topics and the creation of the disambiguation page. --BDD (talk) 15:40, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguate: We do not have a primary topic for this title. So it would be best to delete this redirect and move the disambiguation page to the primary title. Aasim17:48, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The main article was renamed, however it was wrongly renamed to this, it has subsequently been renamed again. Hence this redirect is wrongly named + is not required. Devokewater(talk)15:18, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. It's a translation of the subject's main non-English title, and I could see how a foreign-language word could be translated as "friars" and "brothers" since in context, they are synonyms. Steel1943 (talk) 16:14, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Keep per K4 and Steel. There's no harm in slightly-off-the-mark redirects, as long as they are unambiguous (as this one surely is). This redirect is starting to get pageviews from old links that best not be broken. — J947 ‡ message ⁓ edits19:33, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but contrary to other editors the plural of "roof" is "roofs", with "rooves" being variously described as secondary, archaic or incorrect. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 20:48, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The redirect has some history, but it would likely have gone to AFD and been deleted. WP:ATD-R still requires a suitable page to redirect to, and given that the edit summary when removed from the list is pretty convincing, this seems like a pseudo-WP:G8. -2pou (talk) 17:27, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Between the misuse of capitalization of the letter "I" and the use of a full stop (period) after some of these redirects, I don't see how any are useful and seem to visualize the premise behind the "WP:COSTLY" side of the "WP:CHEAP vs WP:COSTLY" argument. Steel1943 (talk) 05:35, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely delete the ones with periods, since that's unnecessary punctuation and Winds already takes care of that. Weak deleteWInds, which might result from someone holding the ⇧ Shift key for too long, but the consensus for those sorts of redirects seems to be for them to go.

Shrug see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 July 30#Sachimo for some discussion on that point. The claim that WP:XY can only apply to redirects in the form "X and Y" was added just a few months ago. However, as Uanfala stated at the RfC on the talk page a couple of days after that update: I don't see a need to specifically single out one very specific type of ambiguous redirect (of the form X + conjunction + Y) and have a separate rule for that: the underlying logic applies to all ambiguous redirects.. Given that the change to XY doesn't appear to reflect any strong consensus, I'll keep using what it meant before. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 09:23, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No such WP:PRECISE subject mentioned in the target article. Readers will not find what they are looking for if they search this redirect since the target article seems absent of such information. Steel1943 (talk) 05:19, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's no clear if the best target for this redirect is its current target or Knife. Neither option seems to have sufficient information to identify the subject of this redirect, so it may be better to delete this redirect so that the search function can better serve our readers find what they are looking for. Steel1943 (talk) 05:18, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"Knife blades are long, but not too long." I don't understand how that is relevant in the least to determining a target. Either way, the concept of "long-blade" or "long blade" isn't described there either. Retargeting to Knife seems equally as unhelpful per my nomination statement.Steel1943 (talk) 19:30, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural nomination, erroneously nominated for PROD by Mjdestroyerofworlds with the justification this service does not exist, and there is no mention of this alternate name in linked article. That having been said, I agree with this rationale myself. signed, Rosguilltalk04:45, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned in target article, making the association unclear and possibly leaving readers wondering why they arrived at the target when searching this redirect's name. Steel1943 (talk) 03:36, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can see zero reason why this link would lead to that target. We don't need a redirect to make an acronym for every subsection of every policy. Primefac (talk) 01:03, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I had to read the section and the abbreviation multiple times before I thought that it could stand for "Against the blocking administrator". Seventyfiveyears at 01:33, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
