*'''Disambiguate'''. Both [[Serbo-Croatian]] and the [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia]] briefly mention different facts about "the" Yugoslavian language, but my gut instinct is that most searchers that hit this redirect are trying to understand what languages were spoken in the country most recently called Yugoslavia, not learn about Serbo-Croatian when it was officially called Yugoslavian (i.e. from 1929 to 1945, according to [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia]]). It would serve readers better to clarify the different meanings that may have been intended. [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia#Languages]] lists the three main languages, [[Serbo-Croatian]], [[Slovene language]] and [[Macedonian language]]. A disambiguation page should at a minimum clarify that the term may refer to (1) one of the SFRY's three main languages (linking to [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia#Languages]]) or (2) the Kingdom of Yugoslavia's officially-named Yugoslavian language (linking to [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia]]), though it could also reasonably include three more links to the three main languages. [[User:Agyle|Agyle]] ([[User talk:Agyle|talk]]) 04:22, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
**FWIW neither Slovene nor Macedonian were ever referred to as Yugoslavian, so saying that the term may refer to them would be misleading. — [[user:czarkoff|Dmitrij D. Czarkoff]] ([[user talk:czarkoff|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/czarkoff|track]]) 05:21, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
:::[[Yugoslavian]] currently redirects to [[Yugoslavia]], and would be another issue. And while Slovene and Macedonian were never called Yugoslavian (the noun), they were referred to as Yugoslavian languages (Yugoslavian being an adjective, as well). Sometimes they still are, though "former Yugoslavian language" or "ex-Yugoslavian language" seem more common. [[User:Agyle|Agyle]] ([[User talk:Agyle|talk]]) 08:53, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
::::I would agree if discussion was about [[Language of Yugoslavia]], but titles "''[Country name]''ian language" normally refer to the language name, not the list of languages. As an example, [[Russian language]] is an article about the Russian language, and it does not have hatnotes about other official [[languages of Russia]] (compare [[Wikisource:Constitution of Russia#Article 68|Article 68]] of Constitution of Russia to [[Wikisource:Constitution of Yugoslavia (1963)#ARTICLE 42.|Article 42]] of Constitution of Yugoslavia). Disambiguation could be appropriate if Yugoslavian language would not exist, eg. like in case with [[American language]] or [[Canadian language]], although page [[Soviet language]] does not exist, and [[Israeli language]] redirects to [[Hebrew]] (Arabic is also official in Israel and Yiddish exists), so even for demonym-based titles this scheme does not apply consistently. But Yugoslavian ''is'' rightful alias to Serbo-Croatian. — [[user:czarkoff|Dmitrij D. Czarkoff]] ([[user talk:czarkoff|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/czarkoff|track]]) 09:57, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
::::: There are multiple meanings for the term; many reliable sources say that there is or was no Yugoslavian language, or "true" Yugoslavian language. Others use it as a synonym for Serbo-Croat. Others use it to describe Serbo-Croat, Slovene, and Macedonian, and still others to what are more often distinguished as dialects of those languages (e.g., [[Serbian language]], [[Croatian language]]).

Delete, as this is not mentioned in the article. The song's mentioned in two other articles - Pharrell Williams production discography and Wild Child (film) - but leaving it to search results would be better as it would find both, and apart from the current target there's no article that this title clearly belongs to.

The result of the discussion was disambiguate. (non-admin closure) — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talktrack) 10:53, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget or disambiguation w/ mentioning also Macedonian and Slovenian Lumi (talk) 13:15, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It was Serbo-Croato-Slovene, and in 1945-1990 Yugoslavia it was SC, Slovene and Macedonian. Not SC only. --Lumi (talk) 14:29, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It was "Serbo-Croato-Slovene" in Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (1918–1929); when the Kingdom changed its name to Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the language was renamed into Yugoslavian (1929–1944). I don't think the topic of languages in Yugoslavia requires disambiguation, but if consensus is that it does, such page may be created; in this case hatnote should be left in Serbo-Croatian article. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talktrack) 15:33, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with you, we should mention also Slovene and Macedonian. We should make consenzus here for sure. --Lumi (talk) 01:36, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I added a hatnote to Serbo-Croatian and tagged redirect with {{R from historic name}}. I think this is it. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talktrack) 06:33, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Now looks fine. Thanks. --Lumi (talk) 10:10, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
For the record: hatnote was removed. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talktrack) 16:05, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yugoslavian currently redirects to Yugoslavia, and would be another issue. And while Slovene and Macedonian were never called Yugoslavian (the noun), they were referred to as Yugoslavian languages (Yugoslavian being an adjective, as well). Sometimes they still are, though "former Yugoslavian language" or "ex-Yugoslavian language" seem more common. Agyle (talk) 08:53, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I would agree if discussion was about Language of Yugoslavia, but titles "[Country name]ian language" normally refer to the language name, not the list of languages. As an example, Russian language is an article about the Russian language, and it does not have hatnotes about other official languages of Russia (compare Article 68 of Constitution of Russia to Article 42 of Constitution of Yugoslavia). Disambiguation could be appropriate if Yugoslavian language would not exist, eg. like in case with American language oder Canadian language, although page Soviet language does not exist, and Israeli language redirects to Hebrew (Arabic is also official in Israel and Yiddish exists), so even for demonym-based titles this scheme does not apply consistently. But Yugoslavian is rightful alias to Serbo-Croatian. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talktrack) 09:57, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There are multiple meanings for the term; many reliable sources say that there is or was no Yugoslavian language, or "true" Yugoslavian language. Others use it as a synonym for Serbo-Croat. Others use it to describe Serbo-Croat, Slovene, and Macedonian, and still others to what are more often distinguished as dialects of those languages (e.g., Serbian language, Croatian language). A variety of examples:

ISBN 978-0-520-20964-0. ...NYT reviews note that this is the first release in the U.S. of a film in the Yugoslavian language...

Similarly, there may not be a Yugoslavian language per se, but the inhabitants of the republics where the languages of literature are Croatian, Macedonian, Serbian, and Slovenian...
Following your example of American language, where multiple languages that could be meant, one might write:
Yugoslavian language oder Yugoslavian languages may refer to:
  • Serbo-Croatian, the primary language of Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro, officially called Yugoslavian from 1929 to 1945 by the Kingdom of Yugoslavia
  • Serbian language, a variety of Serbo-Croatian used mainly by Serbs in Serbia, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina
  • Croatian language, a variety of Serbo-Croatian used mainly by Croats, principally in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Serbian province of Vojvodina and other neighbouring countries
  • Slovene language, a language spoken mainly by people living in Slovenia
  • Macedonian language, a language spoken mainly in the Republic of Macedonia and by the Macedonian diaspora

Agyle (talk) 19:17, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
So you present an evidence that majority of sources speak of Yugoslavian language as alias for Serbo-Croatian and conclude that it should be treated as toponym-based similar to "American language", which is not a language in any sence? I am afraid I don't follow your logic. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talktrack) 21:04, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I listed reliable sources that use "Yugoslavian language" in reference to several different languages. Agyle (talk) 23:19, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Agyle: I drafted DAB on redirect page. I tried hard to avoid "spoken by" or "spoken in", because in this particular case it is very far from neutral in my opinion. Please, oversee and either approve or criticize, so that this discussion could be finally closed. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talktrack) 08:10, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Serbian Cyrillic language

[edit]
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 keep. JohnCD (talk) 17:48, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like deletion, because it's not known as language, and probably unlikely search term. Lumi (talk) 11:30, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: this is likely search term, because in various operating systems the language selectors include Serbian Latin and Serbian Cyrillic, so one can conclude that "Serbian Cyrillic" is yet another dialect of Serbo-Croatian language. Given that every dialect of Serbo-Croatian is called "language" these days, the search term appears reasonable. The target article helps with fixing this possible misconception. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talktrack) 12:42, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually, dialects are dialects, and languages are languages. Everybody know that dialects are Shtokavian, Eastern Herzegovinian etc., and they are not called language. Same for Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian, they are considered languages, not dialects. And Serbian Cyrillic is not language, nor dialect. Cyrillic is known as wiriting script (letters). Redirect should be deleted. --Lumi (talk) 13:04, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but your claim about Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian is opinionated: their status is subject to long-running argument, and I would ask you to avoid engaging me into discussion about the one true position in this argument. A language is a dialect with an army and navy. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talktrack) 13:59, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Moldovan language. The default for redirects is to keep. This is a long-standing redirect, over 5 years old and the view of the commentators is that it is a plausible typo. Such redirects are only deleted if they are in some way harmful. WP:RFD#HARMFUL states "Therefore consider the deletion only of either really harmful redirects or of very recent ones.". Conversely, deleting could be harmful due to breaking long-standing external links. NAC. The Whispering Wind (talk) 12:41, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Japan isn't even a republic. TheChampionMan1234 11:22, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Japan is a constitutional monarchy as is the UK who also "elect a group of people who then govern the country". :-) The Whispering Wind (talk) 23:43, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And a constitutional monarchy is also known as a crowned republic. In every way that matters, Japan is a republic - the presence of a ceremonial Emperor with not governing powers doesn't change that. Ego White Tray (talk) 05:21, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Monarchy and republic are two (mutually exclusive) forms of government. The system where "people elect a group of people who then govern the country" is called democracy. "Constitutional monarchy" is strict subset of "monarchy" with no intersection with "republic". "Crowned republic" is a [very misleading] wording from the historical context of downfall of monarchies; it only serves descriptive purpose and does not make "constitutional monarchy" a subset of "republic". — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talktrack) 08:38, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Not harmful. It can be marginally helpful: if you think Japan's a republic and type in this target, you'll quickly learn that you were wrong. Deletion would prevent you from learning this. Nyttend (talk) 22:21, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
