616:, verging on keep. I'll note that these terms are inherently imprecise. A person could be Reaganesque because he or she uses optimistic rhetoric; the rhetoric itself could be called Reaganesque, as could a policy which promotes supply-side economics. So try to refine these redirects to emphasize person or policy seems misguided. I thought Mr. Guye made a good point about the ambiguity of "Clintonesque"—sure, there are multiple notable Reagans and Trumps but, with respect, none at the level of Hillary Clinton. Still, to do something different with that redirect would've felt like a 804:. These are plausible search terms and I'd be happy to provide examples if needed. While redirects are cheap, it is much more important to note that eponyms like these sometimes crop up in literature without any explanation of who or what they may refer to. While these particular terms might be obvious to native speakers from the US, who they refer to may not be clear to others. Retaining a redirect here is better than having a soft redirect to Wiktionary. Many of the entries in 1211: 63: 1078:
First of all, some personal semantics. I believe "-esque" suggests a literal or figurative resemblance to (root), and "-ian" refers to the ideology possessed by (root) or relating to the ideology possessed by (root), and "-ism" is something abstract related to (root). The suffixes are NOT

do not have explanations for the term at the targets and don't really need them as -esque merely means "in the style or manner of". As to retargeting, these terms might be used to refer to their policy positions, but could just as easily refer to their demeanor or manner of speaking.

so it looks fine until... too late... worse for Edit Summaries which have gotten to be bizarresque in that it will put in almost any other edit summary from any other article I ever edited if it happens to be in the drop-down box, of course one cannot then edit the edit

Not sure if these are even plausible search terms, there are entries on Wiktionary, but the targets do not explain the terms, I think they are better off targeted to the political positions articles, but prefer deletion overall, I'll note

in many languages such as Russian, Hungarin, and something we really haven't in English so an approximation to that – which is syntax or something perhaps, but not semantics. These remarks of course are all paranthesque.
857:' itself is merely a redirect right now, which I don't think is right, but that's a different issue.) As far as 'Trumpesque' is concerned, it seems more like an empty neologism without proper context or coverage to me. 546: 824:
I still don't believe that keeping this would be helpful to readers for there is nothing relevant in any of the current targets, I would prefer a Wiktionary redirect if these are not deleted. -

It's weaker, but not weak enough for me to call it "no consensus", especially in the absence any compelling arguments in favor of deletion. -- 259: 39: 34: 1218: 70: 1478:. Generally when there's a plant genus with a common name of Foo which contains a species that is known either as Foo or Common Foo, the Foo redirect points to the genus. Compare 845:- Given that terms such as 'Clintonesque' and 'Reaganesque' seem to be used in the context of ideological policies and political approaches, maybe we should direct them over to ' 401: 550: 21: 17: 1021: 850: 1159:
