Re: Potential redirects in non-Roman alphabets:
These are prohibited on Wikivoyage. I can't find the discussion right now, but this was decided when some links in an Indian language (Tamil?) were deleted. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:02, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek: Yep, they should go. I checked WV's database, we currently have these, if you want to do the honors :) Acer (talk) 10:33, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

- It would be nice to have a reference. I don't feel like summarily deleting these without giving a reference to why. I'll have to look for that vfd discussion in the archive, I guess. Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:56, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek: There you go. Not sure what to make of it though. Your call. Acer (talk) 12:11, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
- Also Wikivoyage talk:Deletion policy#Non-latin scripts in article names. But perhaps I should put this through vfd, just to be on the safe side. Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:50, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
- Done. You can see the thread at vfd#Redirects in non-Latin alphabets, characters, etc.: Берлин, Велигденски Остров, Ленингр́ад, אַשְׁקְלוֹן, العيون, عسقلان, गुजरात, 中国, 云南, 内蒙古自治区, 冰岛, 北京, 南非, 台灣, 哈尔滨, 喀什市, 大韩民国, 宁夏, 广州, 朝鲜, 朝鲜民主主义人民共和国, 臺灣, 重庆. Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:00, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
- I wonder what the person was thinking who created a redirect to the Easter Island po-Russki? ϒpsilon (talk) 13:08, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
- There are things that are possible. Doesn't mean they should be done. Creating a Russian language link to Easter Island in en-WV is one of them. Hobbitschuster (talk) 12:26, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

What is the page? edit
Just asking as it is generating a number of WantedPages. --Traveler100 (talk) 09:22, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
- Acer's last contribution was in 2016, so I doubt you'll get an explanation of why this is on a separate sub-page. I don't remember why. But I wouldn't recommend deletion. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:42, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
