Sachgebietes
- Sachgebietes → Sachgebiet (links to redirect • history • stats)
I moved the article to Sachgebiet which is the proper noun. Sachgebietes is simply the genetive, so there is no point keeping the redirect. Unfortunately another author seems to disagree. FJS15 (talk) 04:53, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
- Keep, both to maintain the edit history of the page (a page move is just as much an attributable edit as a content change), to maintain incoming links from external sites, and as a useful search term comparable to the many redirects from plurals we have. It doesn't apparently conflict with anything, so there is no reason to delete it. Thryduulf (talk) 13:19, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
- Keep: The term Sachgebietes appears in a few Third Reich sources. There also is a title Leiter eines Sachgebietes that might be used as a search term or an article link. -OberRanks (talk) 15:40, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
- Keep - potentially helpful. It's harmless and there are no policy based reasons for deletion. Bridgeplayer (talk) 18:04, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
Keep on the basis that someone might link there as a previous article title.Apart from that [[Sachgebiet]]es would be the correct synatax to link internally to Sachgebietes.- Delete. Changed my mind based on the age of the article. Then I rather have it deleted so not to encourage a wrong searchtarget developing. Agathoclea (talk) 21:06, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
- Delete. Apart from the declined speedy there is no non-trivial history in the redirect, and a genitive such as "Sachgebietes" as a title is so completely and utterly wrong (in fact I didn't even realise it's the genitive because it's so unexpected in a title; I read it as the German plural Sachgebiete, with an additional English plural -s) that it makes no sense to preserve this. I also don't buy the argument that there might be incoming links from elsewhere. This is extremely unlikely. To get an idea of how inappropriate this redirect is, think of cat's, dog's, house's etc., only with the difference that one could try to justify redirects for English inflections as a convenience on the English Wikipedia, while a German genitive in English text makes no sense whatsoever. Hans Adler 19:11, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
- As stated above, several sources on Nazi Germany refer to a title known as Leiter eines Sachgebietes - so it was used in this sense making it therefore a valid redirect and/or search term. -OberRanks (talk) 20:41, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
- You could always redirect Leiter eines Sachgebietes instead and have a gramatical valid search term Agathoclea (talk) 21:06, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
- However, that would be less helpful for people searching for "Sachgebietes" only. Redirects do not have to be grammatically valid, just useful or harmless - this appears to be both. Thryduulf (talk) 22:24, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
