Welcome to Votes for undeletion

I created this redirect more than a year ago and Ikan Kekek deleted this page as it can be a misspelling of Dili. Therefore, I would like to restore this redirect so that I can convert it into a disambiguation page. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 11:46, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- Which articles need disambiguating? --ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 11:53, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- Delhi, a city in India and Dili, a city in Timor-Leste. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 11:55, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- Ok, seems reasonable. Support.--ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 12:00, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- Delhi, a city in India and Dili, a city in Timor-Leste. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 11:55, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) Speedily undelete with a redirect to Delhi. Redirects don't simply get speedily deleted because they may appear to be confusing (remember that redirects are cheap), and misspellings can be handled in hatnotes. In this specific case, I've rarely seen Timor-Leste's capital misspelled because the "l" is not stressed, so either way, it should redirect to Delhi with a hatnote for Dili. As for why this should be speedily undeleted, it was never formally deleted (and "misleading/confusing redirects" is not in the CSD), nor were anyone else's opinions solicited. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 11:58, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- In a previous wikilife, Sbb1413 had a tendency to create excessive numbers of redirects. Very pleased to note this is no longer an issue, but I think the deletion rationale was sound, see Talk:Dilli. I'll let someone who knows better comment on how likely Dili is to be misspelt "Dilli".--ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 12:21, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- I'd like to read an explanation of why this disambiguation is needed. Sbb1413? Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:39, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- You had already said back in March 2022, "I feel like this is more likely to be a misspelling of Dili. Is this page really essential? [Sbb1413], please comment." This is why I nowadays prefer disambiguation over redirect. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 05:06, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- That doesn't explain why it's necessary. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:27, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Dilli is apparently a local spelling for Delhi, so if Dilli is also a likely misspelling of Dili, then we have a search term that refers to two possible articles.--ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 06:03, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- OK, go ahead and undelete if you like. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:48, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Those who don't find Dilli will either correct the spelling to Dili or search for Delhi instead, wouldn't they? Is it common not to know those names? –LPfi (talk) 07:35, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
- This doesn't seem to have ever been resolved, but a consensus was developing for a disambiguation for Dilli. Should we resume discussion? Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:55, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

User talk pages are not supposed to be deleted (they can be blanked, however) as it deletes the history behind it, and this one was deleted out of line with Wikivoyage's policy. It should be a speedy undeletion, but I am not doing it myself. 1 month is more than enough for a "cool-down period". --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 07:41, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- I didn't know the policy here and had to look it up. Here is what it says:
- Unlike Wikipedia, we generally do not delete talk pages, even for articles that have been deleted. There is no harm in keeping them, and occasionally they preserve something useful that someone said.
- So it is possible to delete talk pages, but I think there should be a good reason to deviate from the policy, beyond the contributor retiring in a huff. It should be undeleted. If Asretired wants to come back and make a case for making an exception, they are free to do so. Ground Zero (talk) 23:31, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Undelete per Ground Zero. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 23:36, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Undelete, then blank. That keeps the history. Users have the right to delete the contents of their talk pages, but not to delete the files. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:44, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
