ⵜⴰⴳⵍⴷⵉⵜ ⵏ ⵍⵎⵖⵔⵉⴱ → Morocco (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

this is both of the terms for Morocco in the Standard Moroccan Tamazight language (ⵜⴰⴳⵍⴷⵉⵜ and ⵍⵎⵖⵔⵉⴱ), copied from the infobox which is why "|" separates them. there are already two separate redirects for the separate terms, and i cannot imagine someone typing both terms separated by | into wikipedia. greyzxq ^talk 22:22, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't the pipe character, it is the yan character in the Tifinagh script used to write the Berber languages. In fact, it is impossible to include the pipe character in the name of a page. This is a part of the full name of the country, as can be seen in the Moroccan government's website in the Amazigh translation (part of the banner image in top-right). Randi🦋^Talk_Contribs 13:58, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, while I do not know the language in any fashion and cannot find a Standard Moroccan Tamazigh–English dictionary, the website seems to consistently use only ⵍⵎⵖⵔⵉⴱ to refer to Morocco, so ⵜⴰⴳⵍⴷⵉⵜ is presumably the "Kingdom" part of the name rather than being used to refer to Morocco, so the ⵜⴰⴳⵍⴷⵉⵜ redirect is likely invalid.

Köhli → Virat Kohli (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

The current target is inappropriate as I can find nothing with Virat Kohli's naming being spelled with an umlaut, but it seems like it's because this originally redirect to Kohli, which was converted to a redirect to Virat Kohli, before being converted back to what it is now. Having said that, there is no one at Kohli whose name is spelled with an umlaut either, so this would best be deleted. TartarTorte 16:38, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The redirect as it stands does not make sense. "Köhli" with an umlaut is neither mentioned anywhere in the target article nor is it spelt that way in RS.

Delete: as per nom, nobody with surname Kohli and an article here uses an umlaut in their surname. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:54, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per nom. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 10:00, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to Kohli. It appears that the German surname is indeed sometimes spelled with an umlaut, see, e.g., [1]. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 17:29, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and maybe recreate later as redirect to Kohli per Presidentman. That surname page has 50 entries but only two Swiss-German names Fränzi Mägert-Kohli and Martin Kohli, and they don't use the umlaut. Jay 💬 05:57, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to List of digital television channels in Australia#Digital Forty Four. Further discussion or action on the restoration of the 2022 deleted version can be independent of this RfD. Jay 💬 06:41, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Australian Christian Channel → Subscription television in Australia (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Unhelpful – no mention at target. (NPP action) Edward-Woodrow :) _[talk] 21:41, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to List of digital television channels in Australia#Digital Forty Four, where this particular TV channel is mentioned. Duckmather (talk) 15:56, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Duckmather, an article under this title was previously deleted by @Jimfbleak as a G11 speedy deletion. I would restore the previous article but rewritten. The channel was rebranded as GOOD in June 2022, per this reference by Christian Media & Arts Australia. I am also pinging Jimfbleak to leave his opinion on this redirect discussion. Yours sincerely, TechGeek105 (his talk page) 08:04, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The reason why I would like the former article under this title, and the ACCTV redirect that formerly targeted the article, to be restored, is because before the deletion, the article had 10 references, and I would like to add more references to the article. Yours sincerely, TechGeek105 (his talk page) 08:29, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@TechGeek105, Duckmather, and Edward-Woodrow: Thanks for the ping. I deleted this it was blatant spam mostly written by an obvious COI ip account. I know little about Oz TV, and I'm happy to leave it to those who know what they are doing Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:47, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@TechGeek105, Jimfbleak, and Edward-Woodrow: I'd also be ok with having the article formerly at this title restored (and maybe immediately AfD'd after, if the references therein aren't quite paragons of reliability). Duckmather (talk) 16:38, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Duckmather: Hm. If it was blatant spam, as Jimfbleak said, then I'm not crazy about having it restored, even if it's taken to AfD right after. If there were good references there, then maybe someone could look at the deleted page and extract those references. We don't even need a WP:RESEARCHER; it's on archive.org ([2]). Edward-Woodrow :) _[talk] 16:48, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Edward-Woodrow: Well, based on the archived version you found, I wouldn't be excited about having it restored either (the article mostly depends on primary sources, though with a few citations to The Australian). I think that either restoring and AfD'ing or retargeting to List of digital television channels in Australia#Digital Forty Four as I originally proposed would be good outcomes. (And if we AfD, we can decide whether to merge or just redirect at that time!) Duckmather (talk) 15:27, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ZeGidPay → Union Bank (Pakistan) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

This redirect was created via a page move of Union Bank (Pakistan). At a guess, this was a way to create a new (essentially spam) article without appearing to create an article. I reverted the move, leaving behind a redirect, although it isn't clear to me that the two titles are in any way related. There has since been a reverted attempt to convert the redirect into a (somewhat spammy) article, again reverted. I think it might be best to remove the redirect completely. It is currently an orphan. Lithopsian (talk) 16:21, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Restore and AFD or delete – no connection between the redirect and target, as far as I can see, but there was an article on the subject of the redirect before. Don't think the article in the history is quite in G11 territory, but it's certainly not suitable for mainspace; I'm not seeing notability here, so it probably shouldn't go to draftspace either. I'd rather take something like this through a normal deletion process, whether that be AFD, PROD or CSD, than delete it at an RFD discussion, but I don't think it has much chance to survive either way. There is no point to keeping the redirect around, though. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 16:13, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to File#Other uses. Jay 💬 05:51, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Files → NASA Astronaut Group 23 (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

This redirect was created as the "nickname of NASA Astronaut Group 23", which is actually a typo because the group is called "The Flies".

That being said, we already have an article about The Flies, a separate entity to the astronaut group, and this title is a single character transposition from that.

In terms of possiblities, one suggestion is retargeting to The Flies as a plausible typo(?). My other main thought is to lean into the name, and target File#Other uses, which contains a number of different titles consisting of "The [X] Files".

When writing that out, the X happened to represent a variable in place of different words; but, despite this, The X-Files could maaaybe be a possibility as well. Or just deletion. But right now I think File#Other uses is likely the best candidate for retargeting. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 22:40, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to File (disambiguation) -- where an album and a film series could be intended -- 67.70.25.175 (talk) 12:48, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as vague and confusing. Note that none of the items listed on File are specifically referred to by the exact string "The Files", and an onwiki search (which is what the reader would see if this redirect was deleted) shows that the phrase is just as vague as it seems. However, it seems plausible that readers looking for "The Files" could be looking for things whose names are of the form "The [something] Files" (which a google search backs up), so retargeting to File#Other uses could be a vaguely plausible target (in addition to The Flies as the nom suggests) if we opt not to delete.

Retarget to File#Other uses as ambiguous. Counter Duckmather I would say that The Files: The Greatest Hits could easily be referred to without its subtitle. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 22:27, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ᗅᗺᗷᗅ → ABBA (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Seems very unlikely to actually be useful to anyone, the only other page that links here is another stylization with the letters ᗅ and ᗷ replaced with normal As and Bs (AᗺBA · they're homoglyphs), and there was only one page view in the past 90 days.

Delete. Not used or helpful. Perhaps its unambiguous and harmless, but someone's gone through the effort to nominate it, so the work is done. Might as well continue with this clean up task instead of wasting the effort. Grk1011 (talk) 13:14, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, this is the anagram that the group has used, which is likely just as convenient to type as "AᗺBA" to begin with. For people using this valid stylization as a search term, this redirect can serve its purpose once in a while. And if unused, it's still unambiguous and harmless per Edward. It's a style which is pertinent to the article, and any usage makes this worth it. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 01:45, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is a valid stylization as Utopes has correctly pointed out. No reason for deletion. CycloneYoris ^talk! 03:57, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alpha-naphthyl thiourea (Antu) → Α-Naphthylthiourea (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Redirects where the an expansion of an abbreviation is followed by the abbreviation in parentheses should be avoided, due to confusion with disambiguation. In this case, there is an incorrect space and the initialism is capitalized (ANTU); all these factors indicate this is highly unlikely to be useful and should be deleted due to the potential for confusion.
