"Natinal" is not a typo that we provide navigation for. The only examples of it are
Bhutanese natinal anthem (currently at RfD), and
Natinals (where it's deliberate as a reference to a historic gaffe). –

This is actually a redirect that I created, but I’m kind of confused about. Рай is actually the mere Russian name of “
Paradise”, but I made the target the 2016 film instead because the film is Russian. Should we retarget this redirect to “
Paradise” or keep the current redirect target? Thanks. —

Keep Delete per
Uanfala. I think that people searching for Рай would be more likely to want the movie with that name in Russian than Paradise as a concept. If it were to just redirect to
Paradise, it would likely be deleted by running afoul of
WP:RFOREIGN.

- Delete. The redirect is ambiguous on Wikipedia: there's also
Ray, Belgorod Oblast,
Ray (Smolensk region), and a bunch of other topics that we don't yet have articles for (see
ru:Рай). Redirecting to a suitably expanded dab page
Ray is conceivable, but there are so many unrelated entries there that readers will be much better served by the search results. –

Created in a single batch in 2004, these redirects represent a style of disambiguation that hasn't caught on since. It will be a disservice to readers to provide for a general search strategy that only works in a dozen cases. The terms themselves are vague and ambiguous. "Astronomy Mars" can conceivably refer to Mars as a topic in astronomy, but it's also plausible for
Astronomy on Mars (with the corresponding material for the other planets available in the sections of
Extraterrestrial sky). –

QRNG could mean a Quantum Random Number Generator, or a Quasi-Random Number Generator. At the moment it's just a redirect to
Hardware random number generator. Perhaps this page should be changed to a Disambiguation type, with links to
Hardware random number generator and
Low-discrepancy sequence respectively. OK to change from a Redirect to a Disambiguate?

The additive inverses are not explicitly described at the number articles, so these redirects are not particularly helpful for the reader. Looking at deletions like
Special:Redirect/logid/24922761,
Special:Redirect/logid/24922757,
Special:Redirect/logid/24922754, it appears that there has been some previous discussion regarding this (possibly concerning articles rather than redirects though); however, the WikiProject in the summary is a redlink. ~~~~

- Delete the 3 and 4 redirects, disambiguate
Minus six and retarget –6 there,
and retarget the 7–10 redirects to the "Dash #" pages. Not seeing anywhere to point the 3 and 4 redirects; the others we can pool in with existing possible meanings. Generally though I don't think we need the negative numbers to redirect to the number articles, and there appears to be some rough prior consensus against doing so.
Mdewman6 (

- I find it very unlikely that somebody looking for the "Dash #" articles would use "−#" rather than "–#" or "-#". It should also be considered that readers might be looking for information on the negative numbers even if we don't have such. ~~~~

- Delete the 7–10 redirects. If these are truly the minus sign, then I agree they are unlikely search terms to refer to the "Dash #" articles. I could be persuaded to keep targeting the positive number articles, but so far the discussion is not persuasive to do so.

- Delete all. Unlikely route for someone who wants the number articles. If the user is looking for something explicitly on the negative number they are going to be sadly disappointed. We shouldn't create redirects for something on which we have no information – that only frustrates and annoys our readers.
- I don't see the benefit of creating disambiguation pages either. None of the potential targets use "−#" and few know how to type the minus sign. It is only beneficial if it was shown that that rendering is actually used for any of these topics. Then there would be the possibility of readers cutting and pasting it, but no evidence has been presented that this is a possibility.

This redirect was created as an article, nominated for speedy deletion, and turned into a redirect to
Parker Plays. The same things happened to the now-redirect
Parker Coppins (no period). However, the title of
Parker Coppins. (with a period) isn't a particularly useful redirect. Because this was previously an article, I'm not using
R3. See, for a similar discussion,

- Comment. This was my compromise as the article did not belong in mainspace and yet was not obviously deletable A7 (as tagged) or G11 (more debateable), and
Parker Plays has better written & sourced biographical content. I hadn't realised the same content was also in the history of
Parker Coppins. Perhaps the version with the full stop could be speedy deleted A10 as a duplicate that adds no useful content to
Parker Plays; the material is somewhat different but as it's completely unsourced it isn't useful for expansion.

This redirect was created as a result of a page move, and is in fact a
double redirect that ultimately leads to
Druk tsendhen. I don't think "Bhutanese natinal anthem" is a particularly useful typo to maintain as a redirect, so rather than repoint the redirect to Druk tsendhen, I'd instead recommend that it be deleted outright.
