since the term is now mentioned at the target article. The late suggestion to retarget to Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium has been rejected since it is still unclear whether the term was used during the Roman Empire and because the term is not used there. -- Tavix (talk) 15:36, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

:I can't claim to be an expert on our policies for redirects, but it seems, based on [https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22Augusta+Ubiorum%22&tbm=bks&gws_rd=cr&dcr=0&ei=w2reWbiIHsfOa6rUjfAP this search], that this was one of the Latin names used for Cologne at a time when most scholarly works in Western Europe were written in Latin, so maybe the solution to the nominator's concern is to mention the name in the article about Cologne, rather than to delete the redirect. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:06, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

- Keep; old names, especially classical names, definitely deserve redirects. Nyttend (talk) 04:05, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
- ...but only if the article actually mentions the term–the IP editor above is absolutely right–because without that it's an unsourced claim, and might well end up back here eventually. So in my opinion Keep if the article is edited to include it, else Delete. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:37, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
:*Which of the points of WP:RFD#DELETE says anything about the redirect name having to be mentioned in the target article? I only mentioned doing that because the nominator seemed to be concerned by it, not because it is a reason to delete the redirect. If the nominator or you or anyone else wants this mentioned at Cologne then go ahead, but it's irrelevant to this discussion. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 17:03, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
:::Wikipedia:Verifiability. Of course it's relevant to the discussion. The whole point of the discussion is whether or not "Augusta Ubiorum" is related in any way to "Cologne". Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:27, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
::::That has been clearly demonstrated above. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 07:44, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep as one of several Latin names used for Cologne, a city in the part of the world where for well over a millennium Latin was the dominant written language. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 17:03, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
- I totally agree with Shhhnotsoloud: Either the term should show up at least somewhere in the target article or otherwise the RD should be deleted. By the way, I would appeal to add this in fact as a redirect deletion criterion in general…--Cleph (talk) 15:35, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
:*Anyone who wants this name to be mentioned at Cologne is perfectly capable of adding it there on the basis of the sources listed above. You knew where the edit tab was when you edited this discussion, so you should know where it is in the article. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:29, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Redirects are cheap and I, for one, can't keep these "Augusta of X tribe" names straight. I have now slipped it into the article parenthetically, with a clear ref. in English from the 86. IP's list. Yngvadottir (talk) 21:12, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
- Retarget to Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium instead. —Kusma (t·c) 09:43, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
{{resize|91%|Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.}}Relisting comment: the late suggestion to retarget to
Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium ("the Roman colony in the Rhineland from which the German city of Cologne developed.") is worthy of further consideration.

: The new target may be okay, except that it needs to be integrated into the article first. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:14, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
::The change of target depends on whether this is a name that was used in the period of the Roman Empire, or was used in the subsequent millennium or so when this was a German city but Latin was the dominant written language in Western Europe. I pass on that question, because it's above my pay grade. I suspect that {{ping|Yngvadottir}} may be able to answer it. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 15:53, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
