Target has no affinity for Polish. - TheChampionMan1234 22:18, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Wikipedia is not a translation dictionary, further, this is a descriptive term saying "Anthem of the United States", and not directly about the Star Spangled Banner, as the US has had other unofficial national anthem (such as that played at Fort Sumpter at the start of the Civil War, being Yankee Doodle Dandy), it is also not completely accurate. Also, the original content was #patrz [[Hymn Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki]] clearly a mistaken creation meant for the Polish Wikipedia. -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 04:43, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I've been fretting about this. You're right pl:Hymn Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki which is fairly obviously "Naional Hymn of America" but in the infobox there it says the Polish name is Gwieździsty Sztandar. Which we haven't at EN. I am not good at Polish but it says that Francis Scott Key nicked the tune from God Save the Queen (or king, the article in Polish says Queen, I think), and I think it should be at My Country, 'Tis of Thee.

There are many (non-notable?) uses of this acronym, and not one of them, AFAIK, is related to the target in any way. - TheChampionMan1234 22:17, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I am seeing a lot of informal uses of "TSSB" (in various capitalisations) as an acronym for "The Star-Spangled Banner" (including a few in project and talk space by Baseball Bugs) so it is clearly related to the target - please try do some basic WP:BEFORE so you avoid these factually inaccurate rationales. You are right that there are lots of other uses that are unrelated to the US national anthem, but as not one of them is notable (Texas Skill Standards Board gets one unlinked mention in passing, which is the closest any get) so this is not in the way of anything and so it would appear to be totally harmless. It gets 10-20 hits each month, which is above bot level, suggesting that not only is it harmless but it is actually useful meaning deletion would be the harmful course of action. If any other TSSB use becomes notable in the future then this redirect can be reevaluated then, but deleting it now on the off-chance they do is WP:CRYSTAL. Thryduulf (talk) 23:36, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Thryduulf. Come back when another TSSB has an article. 野狼院ひさし Hisashi Yarouin 02:17, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The tune and song is "The Defence of Fort McHenry". It is not officially called "The Star Spangled Banner". That is WP:COMMONNAME I expect, but "TSSB" is pushing it a bit far in my opinion. Why not TSB as a likely typo? Si Trew (talk) 09:40, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Whether this target should be mentioned on the TSB dab page is entirely irrelevant to whether "Tssb" is a good redirect or not. Equally it matters not what the proper name of the tune is - people use this abbreviation to refer to it and there are no competing uses, so it's clearly a useful redirect to have.

The result of the discussion was keep. Consensus is that this is a useful redirect to the present target and that no other targets would be better. Thryduulf (talk) 13:08, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not the WP:COMMONNAME and there are many uses outside the particular field. - TheChampionMan1234 22:15, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The redirect is being ridiculous and exclusively Indian. I tagged for speedy deletion with rationale as R3, but an admin declined it just because it's "not recently created". Wanted to propose deletion because it's clearly quite uncontroversial, but am afraid of being rejected for the same reason, so I am submitting this for RFD. I request this to be deleted soon for obvious reasons. HYH.124 (talk) 13:48, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Per Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 August 12#American Federation - TheChampionMan1234 00:57, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think you mean 1867. And Canada is a federated dominion, which I think is slightly different than a federation, certainly in the US sense. Ivanvector (talk) 01:03, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I did mean around something like that sort of time, I got there within a century or two. Now, can you please take my queen off your coins :) Si Trew (talk) 10:02, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Canadian Confederation. If "federation" is meant to mean the process by which several disparate British colonies agreed to unite under a new federal political entity resulting in the current entity of Canada, then that is the appropriate target. I don't think that Canada is commonly referred to as the "Canadian Federation" (or at all), but "Dominion of Canada" used to be common (not as much since the repatriation of the Constitution in 1982). Ivanvector (talk) 01:03, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
My worry with that if is if it were to be confused with the Confederated States of America or something. Confederation would seem no help. Si Trew (talk) 10:10, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Confederation#Canada does provide some insight, actually, but shouldn't be considered as the redirect target. Within Canada, Confederation is the process by which the nation achieved effective sovereignty from the British government (but not the Crown). So "Confederation" refers to a point in time, or as the article suggests, it refers to the British North America Act which created the Dominion of Canada, the current federal government (prior to this there was a Province of Canada which was a different entity altogether). In that sense "confederation" means "the act of federating", similar in American context to the United States Declaration of Independence although we didn't declare, we asked nicely. However, it is also used to refer to the federation when provinces became part of the country, as in "Newfoundland entered Confederation in 1949". That isn't the modern usage elsewhere but we stick to it here, naming major landmarks for it as recently as 1997. That said, I don't recall ever having heard "federation" used in that context, so I think it is probably more likely that someone searching for "Canadian Federation" is looking for some particular Canadian organization (of which we couldn't possibly determine which is the primary topic) or for the country itself. So actually it's fine as-is, so keep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ivanvector (talk • contribs)
  • Keep - directs readers to the content they're looking for, no rationale presented for deletion. Users looking for more specialised topics can easily navigate to them from Canada (I'd hope), but I don't see a reason to believe there's a sub-target that almost all users would be looking for. WilyD 10:50, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think the argument is whether a federation and a confeferation — or the act of isting or federating — are the same thing. Nobody is in doubt that Canada federated (or confederated), and no doubt we will make Rs to direct non-canucks towards that info. Si Trew (talk) 12:21, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Literally, a federation and a confederation are not the same thing, going by the standard definitions. It's just that the Canadian definition is not the standard. From the fourth paragraph of Confederation: In Canada, the word confederation has an additional, unrelated meaning. "Confederation" refers to the process of (or the event of) establishing or joining the Canadian federal state. The question is: what topic is a reader likely searching for if they type "canadian federation" into the search box? Ivanvector (talk) 15:45, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, I think that sums it up very nicely, would they want the activity of federating (or confederating), or the (con)federation created as a result? I dunno. (Sorry about my "isting" slip above by the way, at least the misplaced "f" didn't go at the front!)
To add to the mix, are we trying to serve a Canadian audience with this redirect or the rest of the world? (obviously both in a perfect world) My guess is Canadians wouldn't look at this because "everybody knows that..." but the rest of the world would be puzzled and maybe would look it up. That is just a guess and I don't know a way to find stats broken down by region. (Thryduulf might.) Si Trew (talk) 07:01, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Likely, a Canadian reader would use this term to refer to the country, not the event. A non-Canadian reader might go either way, I guess, although I think it's unlikely someone would type "canadian federation" looking for info on the formation of the country. More likely "canadian unity", "canadian independence", "canadian rebellion", "canadian statehood" etc. Ivanvector (talk) 15:14, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
