I created this a long time ago so I don't remember exactly where I got the info from, but at least
IMDb and
ANN mention that Michael McConnohie was credited as "Geoffrey Chalmers" in some roles. Not sure if we can find more reliable sources to include it in the article.

Keep. McConnohie
has been
credited as Geoffrey Chalmers, and as there's no notable person known as Geoffrey Chalmers (though there is a
Iain Geoffrey Chalmers), this redirect isn't ambiguous. I've added Geoffrey Chalmers as an alternate name in the target article's infobox but I don't believe it was needed to keep the redirect. —

The result of the discussion was retarget to
Gnome. signed, Rosguilltalk 18:48, 2 February 2021 (UTC)reply
Comment we sure this is the sole notable target? The concept of a "gnomish" language exists in several fantasy settings, also including WoW, Runescape, and Dungeons and Dragons. It's also an adjective, meaning gnome-like, or related to gnomes (i.e. a gnomish race or people, which is a sense that it is used in in the page
Gnome (Dungeons & Dragons)). Could it be worth adding a DAB for some various gnome pages, with a "not to be confused with
Gnomefish"? That said there aren't many extant direct mentions of gnomish languages on gnome articles even where the race speaks a language by the name, but I'm sure it's the sort of thing that could easily be referenced out. Could help avoid Tolkien-centrism?
BlackholeWA (
talk) 23:03, 25 January 2021 (UTC)reply
Good point. I'm pondering whether there's enough to disambiguate here. I went ahead and created the non-ambiguous
Gnomish (Tolkien) and pointing it to the proposed target above.
Hog FarmTalk 02:30, 26 January 2021 (UTC)reply
Good point -- but, simultaneously, those are all quite heavily Tolkienesque, and none to my understanding (I'm less familiar with WoW and Runescape, but certainly no edition of D&D/Pathfinder I'm familiar with delves that deep into linguistics) are very concerned about the Gnomish language. On the gripping hand, there's an argument to be made that 'Gnomish' doesn't necessarily refer to a language...

Retarget to
Gnome as {{R from adjective}}. Incidentally, the only use of the word there is not in the context of language. --

The page now at
South Bank, Redcar and Cleveland was created here in 2005 before being moved to a more appropriate title around 11 minutes later. The redirect has no real connection to the target other than the fact that there are 2 in North Yorkshire though called "South Bank" and this was was created first (the other was created in 2006). A Google search returns a number of places and there is an infobox for South Bank 2 Ferry Terminal in Australia. Crouch, Swale (

Delete. No-one is ever going to search for "Southbank (2)" to find

I've added a note on their languages in case we decide not to retarget, but the easiest (re)target is actually
Elvish languages (Middle-earth)#Internal history which explains all the languages, with links which once went to a page on every language but now all go to Elf (Middle-earth) which says less than the Elvish languages page does. I suggest we retarget ALL the redirects for the various individual languages to
Elvish languages (Middle-earth)#Internal history, and remove all what will become self-links from that page.

Hog FarmTalk 18:01, 1 February 2021 (UTC)reply
Not mentioned at the target, appears to be based on a comment that Arnold Schwarzenegger made about the Jan 6 incident but does not appear to have gained much wider currency. IMO, this is more likely to be an erroneous search for
Kristallnacht than it is for the storming of the capitol, but should probably be deleted, as that article only has a vague reference to Schwarzenegger's comments that does not explain this term. signed, Rosguilltalk 16:41, 25 January 2021 (UTC)reply
Remove I doubt even Schwarzenegger intended to call the storming that outside of comparison.
Juxlos (

Either retarget to
Domestic reactions to the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol, where there's a sentence describing Schwarzenegger comparison to Kristallnacht in the section "Other domestic reactions", or delete. I'm leaning towards deletion on the basis that all relevant results for this phrase seem to be from the 10th and 11th of January with no sustained coverage and that searching for the phrase alone mainly turns up results for Kristallnacht.
86.23.109.101 (

Delete both. Yikes. One politician made a video and made the comparison. These terms are not in wide currency in multiple reliable sources - other than referring perhaps to this one politician comparing the US Capitol Hill Insurrection Attempt with the historical anti-Semitic event that happened all over Nazi Germany.

Delete both! As stated above,
Kristallnacht, is also called "Night of Broken Glass" not Day. Schwarzenegger's father was a Nazi. It's offensive for anyone to make comparisons to the Holocaust.

You haven't explained how this meets any of the 10 reasons to delete a redirect at
WP:RFD#DELETE, whereas this (perhaps arguably) meets reasons 1, 3, 4 and 5 of
WP:RFD#KEEP. This seems more like a case of
WP:IDONTLIKEIT than any policy based reason to delete.
A7V2 (
talk) 06:42, 14 January 2021 (UTC)reply
This (arguably) satisfies criterion 8, which is "a very obscure synonym for an article name". Hardly anyone who wants to browse through an artist's album would search the specific order of their album (1st, 2nd, 3rd...?). Probably "artist + [year] album" may be more useful, but that is another case..
HĐ (
talk) 06:49, 14 January 2021 (UTC)reply
D8 says that a novel or very obscure synonym is unlikely to be useful. However, this redirect is useful as proven above. Note also that a reason to keep (there are four here) outweighs a reason to delete (You might want to delete a redirect if one or more of the following conditions is met (but note also the exceptions listed below this list) prefaces the RDELETE section, whereas However, avoid deleting such redirects if prefaces the RKEEP section). —

Comment: "Studio" looks important here. I can absolutely see someone searching for an artist's 'third album', but I can't so much see them searching for an artist's 'third studio album', and there seems to be some conflation going on. (This applies to all the 'nth studio album' RfDs.)
Vaticidalprophet (

Keep. As the 70. IP says above, this is a perfectly plausible transposition error. There is no valid explanation above as to how this redirect constitutes an implausible typo. The fact that no one has bothered to create the redirect
pruple is
beside the point. Every redirect is evaluated on its own positives and negatives and I don't see how this redirect has any negatives. In fact, this redirect has a major positive – that it is
highly used. From experience, more than 700 views in 5 and a half years is good usage. Why should we disadvantage those readers? —
