Delete - The last time I sought deletion for one of these as
WP:OVERDAB was understandably closed as keep based on arguments there. This is very much OVERDAB though. There was no other Elizabeth I who was queen of England and no other Elizabeth I with those dates of life, so there is no need to have both in a redirect.

Delete It cannot be used in a meaningful way in a sentence and it's a bit of an overkill. In terms of disambiguation, the ordinal number and the "Queen of England" bits are enough. The dates are not necessary. Keivan.fTalk 00:34, 31 July 2023 (UTC)reply
Delete per nom and above. I believe it also uses the wrong type of dash for the dates anyway; should be an endash, not a hyphen. 〜Askarion✉ 13:58, 31 July 2023 (UTC)reply

Propose retargeting these to
Monarchy of the United Kingdom in line with other titles where there is an article about the office itself, such as
King of Spain or
President of the United States. There has been some edit warring on both redirects in the past over the appropriate target; the rationale for their current targets is that it is consistent with
King of England and
King of Scotland, but this ignores that there is no independent article about those historic offices.

Support - changing the re-directs toward the "monarchy" page, as is done with others. Also, support @
Keivan.f:'s idea about the English & Scottish monarchs re-directs.
GoodDay (
talk) 01:02, 31 July 2023 (UTC)reply
Support – I did not realise that this was going to be a controversial issue when I made the change years ago. Redirecting it to the article about the office makes the most sense to me for the following reasons:
If "King/Queen of the United Kingdom" was itself an article and not a redirect, my immediate thought would be it is an article about the office and not merely a list of its officeholders — actually, the list of monarchs itself would likely have been part of the article about the monarchy if either the former or the latter were much shorter, so I see the list of monarchs as secondary to the article about the monarchy;
I believe a typical user who is searching for the "King/Queen of the United Kingdom" would most likely be looking up who the current monarch is, or details about the office or role of the monarch itself. Someone looking for the list/timeline of monarchs would probably have appended "list of" or "previous" or a cardinal to the search term;
There is already a hatnote on
Monarchy of the United Kingdom that links to the list of monarchs for users who wanted a list;
Consistency with the practice of similar articles for other countries per examples provided above, and especially for the
Commonwealth realms whose monarch the British monarch shares (e.g.
King of Australia,
King of Canada); users outside the UK (probably) would want to expect a similar redirecting behaviour across all articles on the heads of states.
Support, per Pizza1016. I also like Keivan.f's suggestion.
Thryduulf (

Rreagan007 (

Checking back in on this, I also support Keivan.f's suggested retargets for King/Queen of England/Scotland (and those sections also have hatnotes directing to the "List of" articles, so I think it fits with all of Pizza1016's points). I'm not super versed in RfD but imagine it's inappropriate to add to the list once discussion has started? If those retargetings remain uncontroversial I'd be happy to make them once this closes.

KAuCN2
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

There is no known compound with formula KAuCN2, only KAu(CN)2. This is an erroneous formula, and so I believe the redirect is useless. I propose to delete this redirect.
Plantman (
talk) 23:02, 30 July 2023 (UTC)reply
Searching on Google Scholar I was able to find some apparent mentions of it. (eg.
[2],
[3]) Are these erroneous?
Regardless, even if KAuCN2 does exist it is not
potassium dicyanoaurate so this redirect is misleading to readers. Since no relevant content to retarget to appears to exist, it seems best to delete. –
Scyrme (
talk) 02:07, 31 July 2023 (UTC)reply
Ambivalent - I think I created this back in 2011 only to make it easier to find without remembering the parentheses. As search engines have evolved since then, I don't think it is as useful now so I don't mind it being deleted. Also
NaAuCN2 on the same grounds. Cheers,

Keep, redirects don't have to be "correct" or exact synonyms, they can be typos, common mis-spellings, etc. In short, anything that someone is likely to type when looking for a page is a useful redirect, and it seems like typing a complex chemical formula without all the punctuation is entirely likely.
Lithopsian (
talk) 14:26, 31 July 2023 (UTC)reply
Redirects from typos and misspellings are only warranted when they are helpful and unambiguous, not when they are misleading and possibly ambiguous (see the uses I found earlier). The brackets in a chemical formula aren't punctuation, they're notation. It's like omitting the brackets from a mathematical expression in which they are not redundant. It changes the meaning entirely, and this change is misleading to readers. A redirect that misinforms readers by suggesting the wrong chemical formula is not helpful. –
Scyrme (
talk) 16:45, 31 July 2023 (UTC)reply
Thinking about it some more, I don't think typos are a valid comparison to begin with. A typo doesn't change the meaning of the word, it only affects the presentation; it's a purely orthographic difference, not a semantic one. Omitting the brackets from a formula introduces a semantic difference. –
Scyrme (
talk) 20:07, 31 July 2023 (UTC)reply
There is currently no known chemical compound formulated as KAuCN2, but this formula still codes for an entirely different compound than KAU(CN)2. This is why I started the RfD.
Plantman (
talk) 19:20, 31 July 2023 (UTC)reply
Weak keep. This is a case where we can compare against the "properly" spelled redirect
here (pageviews in 2022). Signs point to a reasonable {{R from misspelling}}. However, it may be ambiguous since it's technically possible to write out potassium gold cyanamide (CN22- is the
cyanamide dianion) as a valid molecular formula. I do not find any uses of "gold cyanamides" (or other combinations) through searches, and that's not surprising since my chemical intuition says that a cyanamide dianion would be incredibly reactive and susceptible to oxidation. Caveat is I'm not an inorganic chemist and can't assess any potential ligand complexes off-hand. The two articles mentioned by Scyrme above are typos missing parentheses by my skimming. I lean keep here since this alternate formula seems to be a fictional/theoretical molecule as far as I can tell. ―
Synpath 18:38, 1 August 2023 (UTC)reply
Comment. This page has several other redirects that seem like less useful misspellings at a glance:
C2AuKN2,
KAu(CN2) and
NaAu(CN2). The first is technically the molecular formula, but split up in an unlikely way, the second and third are unlikely typos with a misplaced right parenthesis. The third is also the sodium salt, and is only indirectly mentioned in the text (dissolving sodium cyanide). ―

Retarget to
Black gay pride. It is not the perfect target, given that this article is also primarily U.S.-centric, but it has more potential to be global in scope. -

All of these redirects should be deleted There is no specific conspiracy theory of "Election denial" mentioned on

Delete. No significant discussion of 'election denial' as a general topic in the target, and questions regarding the legitimacy of an election may frequently not involve conspiracy theories at all. The world exists beyond the narrow confines of U.S. discourse around the last presidential election, and Wikipedia should too.

(reiterating previous comment in other deletion request) The only conspiracy theory explicitly mentioned there is the so-called
voting pencil conspiracy theory, which is pretty niche and of its time, even for British politics watchers. Although it definitely could be expanded to include other notable conspiracy theories.

I believe this redirect should be deleted. The title combines an unusual hyphenation of the complete name of the diagnosis with an abbreviation in parentheses. Nothing links to it and it does not help readers find the article, as

A reference using this term could easily be added to

Keep – it's certainly a term that was in use, and I don't really think we need reliable sources to support non-controversial redirect titles, just evidence that the term is in use. There's enough sources supporting use to keep anyway. Tag with {{R without mention}} if no mention is added (I wouldn't be too worried about rushing to add one, we don't need to state every alternative name for something, but if someone searches that alternative name they should still be taken to the right place).
