This is a hoax. There's nothing called "Yorubans". the denonym for Yoruba is "Yoruba". You can't find "Yoruban" anywhere as an alternative spelling for Yoruba. Jamie Tubers (talk) 20:38, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Per Steel1943 and nom, I've been bold and added the {{Redr|from incorrect name}} template. Though since I haven't used this particular template before, I'd appreciate someone glancing to make sure I did so correctly. Thanks! - CorbieV☊☼ 21:19, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, WP:NEOLOGISM related to Facebook Beacon. This needs to be deleted per WP:LABEL, which says "-gate" should only be used in instances of a scandal that is used by multiple reliable sources, which we don't have here. -- Tavix (talk) 20:16, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a WP:NEOLOGISM. It's a type of poem that takes advantage of Twitter's 140 character limit. However, I haven't found any notability to that, and there's no mention of it anywhere on Wikipedia. -- Tavix (talk) 19:34, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This points to a disambiguation page and doesn't appear to be related to any of the entries there. Perhaps it was created as a joke about a specific person. Nick Number (talk) 16:53, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a joke? Piracy could make certain trading "high risk", but this phrase seems like a very obscure synonym for piracy itself, if not altogether made up. "high risk trading" -wikipedia talks about stock markets and similar topics, as I would expect. BDD (talk) 15:28, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. When someone else deletes my comments, ask them not me. Check history and have a second guess with the perversion of my ˘!vote. Si Trew (talk) 10:10, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell from the few sources found, this film was slated to start filming in early 2011 directed by one Van Fisher,[1] but either never started filming or wasn't finished.[2] I include in the discussion the redirect A Pure LIfe (film). -- Sam Sailor Talk! 08:41, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is only one brief mention of this term in the infobox, so, its best to delete it until an article about it is created. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 03:52, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Continent#Subcontinents. --BDD (talk) 13:57, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A subcontinent is just a term for a localized landmass in any continent. I don't understand why this redirect is pointing to a specific subcontinent in Asia; it's misleading. I understand that "Indian Subcontinent" is sometimes referred to as "The Subcontinent". However, The Subcontinent is already redirected to the article. Per WP:DIFFCAPS, "The Subcontinent" is not the same as "Subcontinent", with a very different and generalized meaning. Jamie Tubers (talk) 02:39, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: all of the links in the searchlink you provided explicitly stated "Indian Subcontinent", not "Subcontinent". And btw, what comes on in searches doesn't rule out what a primary topic is. A good example, is a search for Federal Capital Territory, which brings up only the Nigerian FCT (in exact words in fact), but it doesn't make Nigerian FCT the primary topic of the term, which can also be a generic term for many capital territories. see WP:NWFCTM.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 14:30, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Except that Nigeria's capital territory is the only modern day territory with the exact name. Which is why Nigeria's federal territory is bound to hog up Google search. Australia's federal territory's name was changed while Pakistan's was moved to Rawalpindi. Nonethelss it still is a general term, unlike "subcontinent". Filpro (talk) 01:18, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to the generic term at Continent#Subcontinents per Tavix. This looks like a general term to me, and a reader looking for what a subcontinent is will be disappointed with an article on the Indian one, or possibly misled into believing that it is the only one. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:52, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Continent#Subcontinents seems best. Just Chilling (talk) 18:06, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Indian subcontinent. See Talk:Subcontinent. First the article was put listed for speedy deletion by you for hoax and now you think it's misleading? Keep it where it was. Subcontinent is not a generalised word and it is rarely used if it all. However when it is used, it almost always refers to the Indian subcontinent. Nearly all reputable dictionaries use the Indian subcontinent as the only example since it's the only place on Earth that completely fits the criteria for one and also the general definition for subcontinent itself is defined by the Indian subcontinent. (geographical boundaries such as the Himalayas and the Indian Ocean as well as being on a separate tectonic plate from Eurasia)
Regardless, the News, books, TV, and media in general all use subcontinent in context of the one the article is currently redirected to. Changing the name would be even more misleading. A general definition can be included at both the continent article and Indian subcontinent but that's about it. Filpro (talk) 01:17, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
