With regards to the deletion of Kloreen by and three others by the same user. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:46, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Implausible phonetic misspelling, as unlikely as Kathline for Kathleen. Narky Blert (talk) 18:20, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
::Note. Page creator {{u|DudeWithAFeud}} was WP:INDEFfed in November 2015. Narky Blert (talk) 18:38, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete – phonetic misspelling, possibly a joke, per my rationale at the RfD for kloreen. ComplexRational (talk) 18:28, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep, I find phonetic misspellings useful. If you are looking for Bromine, but you've heard it and don't know how to spell it, this is a reasonable guess. -- Tavix (talk) 18:44, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- :Hmm...I can dig that, but this (or more so chlorine) is not very uncommon and -ine seems like the usual spelling. Are there any rhyming words in English that end with -een? ComplexRational (talk) 19:36, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- :: I guess there are no rhyming words for chlorine at all; however, there are words like queen and teen (as well as adjectives like green) that end with -een. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 19:55, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- ::: Doreen. Narky Blert (talk) 21:17, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- :::: {{ping|Narky}} What do you want to say? This does not rhyme with bromine. Did you just want to give another -een example? 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 11:56, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
- ::::: They were providing an example that rhymed with "chlorine" (like you mentioned). Also, I think you pinged the wrong user ("Narky" instead of "Narky Blert"). Paintspot Infez (talk) 03:59, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Typing "brom" into the search bar lists "bromine" as the second result in the autocomplete menu. --Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝) 19:04, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- If the searcher assumes "Bromine" sounds like a frat bro wanting his stuff back, it's not going to click that Bromine is actually the article for "Bromeen". -- Tavix (talk) 20:55, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- That is, however, a legitimate alternative pronunciation according to the infobox. Double sharp (talk) 02:28, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- ...I'm not understanding how that is rationale for deletion. That just proves that the "Bromine" is most likely the page readers are looking for if they type in "Brom", which in no way addresses the existence of the nominated redirect, especially if someone attempts to look up or link to the title of the redirect. In respect to the utility of redirects on Wikipedia, the "delete" rationale provided in this comment is a red herring. Steel1943 (talk) 20:08, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per {{No ping|Tavix}}. Plausible phonetic spelling. Steel1943 (talk) 20:04, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, signed, Rosguill talk 20:57, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per Tavix. Also note that the search bar isn't the only way of searching up a page. — J947 (user | cont | ess), at 22:35, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
- Previous discussion found here. — J947 (user | cont | ess), at 22:39, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
- {{Ping|J947}} Wow, I forgot about that behemoth of a listing, let alone that I was its closer. Either way, old RfD now posted at the top as well. Steel1943 (talk) 00:32, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep - It it useful? It is. Does it do any harm? It does not. This is a perfectly reasonable guess for how to spell the specific element. We should keep in mind that a large number of non-native English speakers use Wikipedia and that redirects can be particularly helpful for them. We should leave this alone. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 02:57, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Perfectly plausible phonetic spelling. Thryduulf (talk) 10:32, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep sufficiently plausible that someone might spell it this way. LEPRICAVARK (talk) 12:50, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per above. As said above, a totally reasonable phonetic spelling. Also, yeah, the search bar isn't the only way to find a page. Paintspot Infez (talk) 03:46, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. In case you don't know, not everyone finds articles with Special:Search. Don't force your information-seeking behavior on everyone else. Nyttend backup (talk) 16:15, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
