MrMeAndMrMe has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: There is no reason for there to be a french translation of Diarrhea. It has no meaning nor help. I am aware that we shouldn't be making RfDs while the discussion is still going on, but I am under the impression that literal translations of redirects with no relations are disliked by most people. Correct me if I'm wrong about that, though. MrMeAndMrMe_{Let's talk} 16:54, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss this request below, but keep in mind that you shouldn't vote on everything and that there may be options other than "keep" or "delete", such as merging.

Delete - excellent example of following the spirit of my request, much appreciated. Also delete per WP:FOREIGN. Griff (talk) 16:59, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete That discussion is probably going to die out now and we're just going to RfD the questionable redirects. This isn't appropriate as diarrhea doesn't have any special connection to France. --Ferien (talk) 17:01, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Perfectly reasonable redirect, since English word diarrhea came from French which came from Latin. 172.58.102.230 (talk) 17:11, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
We are not a dictionary and etymology of words aren't used here, which, in my opinion, makes this invalid.(except in certain circumstances)

Furthermore, the name diarrhea came from Greek and Latin, I'm pretty sure(unless if you have an alternative source). MrMeAndMrMe_{Let's talk} 17:15, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Many of our articles contain etymological info.--I am not sure that your argument above - about "etymology" is clear (and maybe it does not matter, because there seems to be several strong arguments for Delete). 89.8.146.21 (talk) 20:07, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Etymology for something like a noun or a verb isn't necessary. We aren't a dictionary. The only reason why we would include etymology is in an article such as oreo in which it has to do with the history of it. MrMeAndMrMe_{Let's talk} 04:39, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not necessary. --Derpdart56 (talk) 17:17, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Since “Diarrhea” is a loan word from French/Norman -Deppiyy (talk) 17:45, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Deppiyy I don't see any reference that states that French is part of the etymology of Diarrhea. Could you link a source? MrMeAndMrMe_{Let's talk} 20:02, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And then what? This discussion does show that some redirects (including this one), are not cheap. 89.8.146.21 (talk) 20:14, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wiktionary:diarrhea#Etymology, Diarhée and Diarhea came from Middle French word Diarrie - Deppiyy (talk) 21:42, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So what is the point of using this redirect? MrMeAndMrMe_{Let's talk} 21:49, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Some people might use etymology to find articles. Deppiyy (talk) 22:16, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
According to whom? MrMeAndMrMe_{Let's talk} 02:35, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Citation needed. Which people? Please show some evidence for this practice. Gotanda (talk) 23:57, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - It seems okay to stop the "6000 language march" for redirects on this word, now.--The other Delete arguments of this discussion, are also okay. 89.8.146.21 (talk) 19:59, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Macdonald-ross (talk) 11:04, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is the term for a disease; etymologically, it is a mixture of (Ancient) Greek and Latin. As such you'll find the term in most European languages. I do however think it is an unlikely search term. Most people using it will do so on FrWP, and they may then click an interwiki link. So: delete --Eptalon (talk) 21:55, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
