This is half a WP:FORRED: "milicija" is Croatian while "Yugoslav" is English. I don't see how this is a particularly useful combination; if the redirect were entirely in Croatian, it would be different, but since it is half English, its utility is likely diminished. I thus suggest deletion. ComplexRational (talk) 23:47, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

:*Why does every redirect need to be speedily deleted outside the criteria? Geolodus (talk) 16:57, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per nom as an implausible redirect due to the mixing of two languages. -- Black Falcon (talk) 20:08, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per above, not to mention that even if it were entirely in Croatian it would probably fail WP:FORRED anyway. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 04:00, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
:*Croatian was spoken in Yugoslavia, although the state had no official language. Geolodus (talk) 16:57, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
::{{Re|Geolodus}}, Yugoslavia had an official language, but none at federal level. Serbo-Croatian was official in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia (with Vojvodina and Kosovo) and Montenegro. Slovene was official in Slovenia, Macedonian was official in Macedonia, Albanian was official in Kosovo, while Hungarian had some special status in Hungarian speaking towns in Vojvodina. However, in Croatia the official language was by the 1974 constitution "Croatian or Serbian". --Koreanovsky (talk) 20:45, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
:::Well, that's why I wrote "the state", meaning the upper-level government. Geolodus (talk) 06:13, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
- {{Re|ComplexRational}} Hey! Sorry for the late reply! ;) If you say it is outside the criteria of the English Wikipedia, feel free to delete it! There is a reason why I made this redirect. The article was originally named "Yugoslav Militsiya" which is absolutely wrong, since the word "Militsiya" is the Russian transcription for "милиция", the Russian law inforcement until 2011 (If I am not wrong). As you can see, I did it to show that the term "Militsiya" is totally wrong when it comes to Yugoslavia and the Yugoslav Militia (Milicija) since it is not comparable with the Soviet and/or Russian one. Greetings, Koreanovsky (talk) 20:45, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
::{{re|Koreanovsky}} Thanks for the explanation. I cannot delete it myself as I am not an admin, and even if I were, this redirect doesn't meet any of the speedy deletion criteria. It is best to discuss here in cases like this, especially when different opinions may come into play. ComplexRational (talk) 21:50, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
