Although the coronavirus and resulting economic shocks are occurring in the
Reiwa era by the Japanese reckoning, these phrases are unattested outside of Wikipedia and are unlikely English-language terms for the coronavirus recession. (The only mention of Reiwa at the target article is in the name of a typhoon.) --

- Redirect was originally created by mistake, since the correct name of the place in "Văn Quan", not "Văn Quân"

30ChuaPhaiLaTet (

- @
A7V2: Văn Quân means Wenjun, and it is a Chinese first name (in your example Zhuo is the poet's last name), but then it is also the first name of many other Chinese people (for example
Yu Wenjun (
Dữu Văn Quân [
vi)) so it doesn't make any sense to retarget to the article about the poet (which is only one of them). In fact, enwiki currently has articles about many people named Wenjun,
you can find them here, so the ideal solution is to create disambiguation page
Wenjun listing all the people named Wenjun, and retarget
Văn Quân to that page. However, I don't know whether such a disambiguation is valid

- @
30ChuaPhaiLaTet: If the page lists only people with the same name then it's not technically a disambiguation page but a set index article (in practical terms there is essentially no difference other than the categories its in) but the are valid. See
Wikipedia:Name pages#Lists of people for advice. I'd draft one myself but don't have time today.

A7V2 (
talk) 14:22, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
reply
- Neutral between keeping (as it's a rather old {{
R from move}}) or deleting as an unlikely typo, but oppose retargeting to
Wenjun if it gets created, seeing as all potential entries are Chinese people who have nothing to do with Vietnam and aren't known by their Vietnamese name in any English-language sources.
59.149.124.29 (
talk) 06:46, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
reply
- I oppose to keeping, it is clearly a typo in this case, as if you accidentally press double 'a' on a Telex Vietnamese keyboard, it will automatically become 'â'. When they did the moves 10 years ago, they did it on a large number of articles, so a mistake is reasonable.
- Also, I think enwiki should have specific rules about redirects for Vietnamese words. In English, if you misspelled a word, it is likely that the misspelled word doesn't have any meaning. However, in Vietnamese, it is very likely that a misplaced diacritic will end up with a word having a completely different meaning. Therefore, I'd say we should only allow non-diacritic form of every Vietnamese article titles, misplaced-diacritic names should not be encouraged. In this case, if Văn Quân was a meaningless word, then I'd be okay with keeping it. However, Văn Quân clearly has a meaning,
vi:Văn Quân, so something must be done to fix it, keeping it just because it's old doesn't make any sense

- Very strong keep. This is one of the core shortcuts on Wikipedia that has pointed to it's current target since 2004 and is referenced in literally thousands of discussions that would be unnecessarily be broken and you would also be introducing lots of incorrect links as people referenced the wrong place. This was the consensus of the

Everybody can notice that shortcut and how short the redirect is. So, i would say very strong keep for this one, i would NOT vote for delete stuff like WP:A. --

- Comment since it's not a StarCraft-exclusive term (see e.g.
[5]), sourced mentions could be added to multiple articles, so it's sort of a
WP:XY problem. Seeing as it's a real word with its own entry in the
Standard Korean Language Dictionary, but probably not a
WP:NOTABLE topic, I think the best outcome would be a soft redirect to
wikt:본좌 (the original form of the term in Korean) - but first I have to go create the Wiktionary entry, since it doesn't exist yet.

Silas (disambiguation) per @
Narky Blert: who makes a very good point, which perhaps could be embedded in guidance somewhere?
WP:INCOMPLETEDISAMBIGUATION actually does say "In some cases, it may be more appropriate to redirect readers to a list rather than a disambiguation page" which is not what is being recommended here.

- @
Shhhnotsoloud:
WP:INCDAB also says "Usually, a qualified title that is still ambiguous has no primary topic, and therefore should redirect to the disambiguation page". The same concept is hinted at in
Template:Disambiguation#Parameters, which says "add a parameter from this list if the disambiguation page has several items of that type: [...] {{Disambiguation|human name}} (note that you must instead add the category separately if it needs a different sort key)". The proviso implies that sometimes no separate sortkey is needed, and that is indeed usually the case. An example of the proviso in action is
Albert Hall (disambiguation).
- Good luck with getting a guideline changed! I once proposed amending a sentence I found ambiguous; I won't make that mistake again.

Talkng to Myself
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was retarget to
Talking to Myself. There's no consensus between delete and redirect, but given the lack of a "keep" camp, redirecting is the most productive outcome. signed,

Implausible typo. I suggest deletion or a retarget to
Talking to Myself which is a dab page.

- I think this is a plausible typo, despite having no pageviews in the last 90 days. The redirect is also almost 13 years old, so I think we should avoid deletion. I support a retarget to the dab page
Talking to Myself. --

- Retarget to DAB page
Talking to Myself as {{
R from misspelling}} + {{
R from ambiguous term}}.

- Delete per nomination. I would have deleted this speedily as
WP:G7. For the record, the original page history is at
Talking to Myself (album) which itself is now a redirect. –

- Delete per nom. Not a common enough typo to warrant a separate redirect.

The target article has been tagged for over a year "This article is missing information about nerdview (which redirects here)...". Without an explanation, redirecting "nerdview" here is confusing, so delete because enwiki has nothing about the subject.
