I'm not sure what's best for this redirect as the term is not used in the target article.
Daco-Roman begins with "Daco-Roman describes the Romanized culture of
Dacia under the rule of the Roman Empire." and "Daco-Roman" is used in the Antquity and Middle Ages sections of
Romania and in the
Origin of the Romanians article.
Daco-Romanian is a term used in comparative linguistics that is covered at
Romanian language#Dialects where it redirects. Two articles on Wikipedia do use the exact term, the first is a list entry at
Dumitru Berciu#Publications and this book is reponsible for almost all the google hits. the second is
Sextil Pușcariu#Final years in the sentence "he founded Daco-Romania magazine", elsewhere in the article (and in other articles) a magazine by the name Dacoromania is mentioned several times, but
Dacoromania is a redlink here and at ro.wp.

- Daco-Romanian is the name that the Romanian language receives when Romanian linguists discuss Eastern Romance languages as a whole. They believe Aromanian, Megleno-Romanian and Istro-Romanian are dialects of Romanian and thus refer to Romanian proper as Daco-Romanian to differentiate it. "Daco-Romania" is just the country of the Daco-Romanian-speakers (the Daco-Romanians), if following the same terminology.

- I see the logic, but that doesn't address the term not being used at the target article nor there being no apparent reliable sources that use the term in this manner to support a mention there. It also doesn't reflect that it is used in at least one other context (the book).
Thryduulf (
talk) 13:55, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
reply
- The book is evidence of the existence of the term or that the same logic I applied was also applied by notable scholars with articles in this website. If the book was to get an article, we could disambiguate it by titling it
Daco-Romania (book).

- Delete. If Daco-Romania refers to a place, we have no information on enwiki about it. I don't find it useful to retarget to the target of
Daco-Romanian, which, while has mentions of geographical areas of the speakers of the language, doesn't say that Daco-Romania is or was a region that referred to those places. Targetting to
Dumitru Berciu will just be confusing.

- Comment: I'm split on this because it is a joke redirect, but it seems to unambiguously refer to the GPWS. My thought for whether or not this should be kept is whether it's feasible someone would see this term without the context of GPWS being there as well and want a definition for this and if they'd search this specific term on wikipedia. It gets some pageviews, but not a ton. It's a bit of a flip of a coin.

This had redirected to

Was surprised and confused to land on this redirect to a seemingly unrelated page. There is a paragraph on the phrase, but Professor Calculus doesn't appear to be the origin of or a particularly prominent use of the phrase (though I couldn't find much about it elsewhere on Wikipedia.)

- Comment, as a Tintin fan: this is the sort of common, idiomatic phrase where a retarget to

In doing research Cossart might or might not be an actual place or just a name accidentally extrapolated from a railroad station that was there called Cossart (possibly due to Cossart Road which is in the area of the former station) on the
Wilmington and Northern Branch. Regardless, what is referred to as Cossart is in
Pennsbury Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, not Kennett Square it seems, but it is not mentioned in either article. It is mentioned in
List of places in Pennsylvania: C, and I pressume that comes from GNIS where it is listed as a "Populated Place", but that regularly was applied just to train stations. With no actual mention of it in either place it could be targeted and the only mention of it on Wikipedia is that it exists in
List of places in Pennsylvania: C makes me think deletion is the way to go.

- They are basically joking terms/memes that are commonly used by Lakers fans and haters alike, particularly the use of "Westbrick" by anchors such as
Skip Bayless. That being said, Westbrook has frequently expressed his disdain for the "Westbrick" moniker, so I suppose it could be taken down due to being somewhat offensive. That being said, I think keeping LeGM as a meme redirect wouldn't be particularly offensive or harmful.

Originally targeted
Leon Bridges, but seems to be distinct from Bridges, although at least part of the band has toured with him if I'm reading what's on the internet right. The current target is a festival the band has played at, and is not a useful target as way too narrow. It's possible there's enough sourcing for an article on this band, but the best thing for now is to delete so that this can become a redlink, as I'm not seeing a single target better than others.
