- Löschen. On an English-language website, random redirects to English-language topics in <insert other language name here> are not useful; they are unlikely search terms. Our database is not an arbitrary translation tool. Other language Wikipedias exist for searching in other languages. — Scott • talk 17:25, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
- Since this redirect purposefully directs readers to the specific article they're looking for, it's demonstratably not random. It is, in fact, it is the exact opposite of random. Since this redirect is not a translation tool, or in any way related to translation, that statement is a non sequitur. As indeed that it's an unlikely search term - with millions of articles, every term is an unlikely search term. They're kept because they're useful for finding content - if we didn't want readers to find content only findable by unlikely search terms, we wouldn't have a search bar, because only unlikely search terms are ever entered into it. Other language Wikipedia exist for providing reference in other languages - no Wikipedias exist for searching. Searching is merely a means to an ends, but one that needs to be facilitated if the content is to be useful. Since all of your statements are demonstratably false, you should reconsider your position, given that you are supporting the deletion of this redirect for no reason whatsoever. WilyD 10:12, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
demonstrably not random
- Unless our database offers multilingual search results for every single title in our database, then yes, these redirects are random, because they only exist as the result of completely impromptu and piecemeal additions to our database by J. Random Editor.
this redirect is not a translation tool, or in any way related to translation
- Top tip: if you search for a word in language X and get a result in English, you've just performed a translation. Rather than fighting to keep these completely cack-handed attempts at providing translation through our search interface, you could be of more use voting for my T46038, that proposes an actual, consistent method for multilingually searching our database. And as for this:
with millions of articles, every term is an unlikely search term
Facepalm — Scott • talk 16:18, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is a work in progress, though the choice of what's created isn't entirely random, there is an element of chance, sure. But the redirect isn't random, it's purposeful. There's no plausible way to argue it's random. (Unless you're using a homophone of random from a language other than English). Some articles will provide translations (if only through interwiki links), but the purpose of a redirect isn't to provide translation, but to direct readers to the content they're looking for. The redirect isn't being used for translation. Beyond that, yes, I demonstrated how absurd the "delete because it's only used occasionally" position is. The standard for RfD must be implausibility, rather than unlikeliness, because everything would be deleted if the standard was unlikeliness. WilyD 10:04, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

- Keep - directs readers to the content they're looking for, which is why we make redirects. No one has suggested any reason we might want to alter or delete this, nor can I imagine any. Simple civility requires that we not try to make things more difficult for our readers when no encyclopaedic benefit would result. WilyD 09:55, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

- Keep - directs readers to the content they're looking for, which is the whole point of a redirect. If readers can't find the content, it was a waste of time to write the encyclopaedia, so I don't know why anyone would want to interfere with that process. Since no one has suggested any reason to delete this, nor can I imagine any, keeping is the only reasonable outcome. WilyD 09:52, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

- Since this redirect purposefully directs readers to the specific article they're looking for, it's demonstratably not random. It is, in fact, it is the exact opposite of random. Since this redirect is not a translation tool, or in any way related to translation, that statement is a non sequitur.

They're kept because they're useful for finding content - if we didn't want readers to find content only findable by unlikely search terms, we wouldn't have a search bar, because only unlikely search terms are ever entered into it. Other language Wikipedia exist for providing reference in other languages - no Wikipedias exist for searching.
