Proposed deletion |
Redirects for discussion (RfD) is the place where potentially problematic redirects are discussed. Items usually stay listed for a week or so, after which they are deleted, kept, or retargeted.
- If you want to replace an unprotected redirect with an article, you need not list it here. Turning redirects into articles is wholly encouraged. Be bold!
- If you want to move a page but a redirect is in the way, do not list it here. Put a request to Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests.
- Redirects should not be deleted just because they have no incoming links. That is not a sufficient condition. Please do not use it as the only reason to delete a redirect.
- Redirects that do have incoming links are sometimes deleted too, so it's not a necessary condition either. (See § When should we delete a redirect? for more information.)
Before listing a redirect for discussion[edit]
Please be aware of these general policies, which apply here as elsewhere:
- Wikipedia:Redirect – what redirects are, why they exist, and how they are used.
- Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion – which pages can be deleted without discussion; in particular the "General" and "Redirects" sections.
- Wikipedia:Deletion policy – how we delete things by consensus.
- Wikipedia:Guide to deletion – guidelines on discussion format and shorthand.
The guiding principles of RfD[edit]
- The purpose of a good redirect is to eliminate the possibility that readers will find themselves staring blankly at a "Search results 1–10 out of 378" result instead of the article they were looking for. If someone could plausibly enter the redirect's name when searching for the target article, it's a good redirect.
- Redirects are cheap. They take up little storage space and use very little bandwidth. It doesn't really hurt things if there are a few of them scattered around. On the flip side, deleting redirects is also cheap because recording the deletion takes up little storage space and uses very little bandwidth. There is no harm in deleting problematic redirects.
- If a good-faith RfD nomination has no discussion, the default result is delete.
- Redirects nominated in contravention of Wikipedia:Redirect will be speedily kept.
- RfD is not the place to resolve most editorial disputes. If you think a redirect should be targeted to a different article, discuss it on the talk page of the current target article or the proposed target article, or both. But with more difficult cases, this page can serve as a central discussion forum for tough debates about which page a redirect should target.
- Requests for deletion of redirects from one page's talk page to another's do not need to be listed here. Anyone can remove the redirect by blanking the page. The G6 criterion for speedy deletion may be appropriate.
- In discussions, always ask yourself whether or not a redirect would be helpful to the reader.
When should we delete a redirect?[edit]
The major reasons why deletion of redirects is harmful are:
- a redirect may contain nontrivial edit history;
- if a redirect is reasonably old (or a redirect is created as a result of moving a page that has been there for quite some time), then it is quite possible that its deletion will break links in old, historical versions of some other articles—such an event is very difficult to envision and even detect.
Note that there could exist (for example), links to the URL "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attorneygate" anywhere on the Internet. If so, then those links might not show up by checking for (clicking on) "WhatLinksHere for Attorneygate"—since those links might come from somewhere outside Wikipedia.
Therefore consider the deletion only of either really harmful redirects or of very recent ones.
Reasons for deleting[edit]
You might want to delete a redirect if one or more of the following conditions is met (but note also the exceptions listed below this list):
- The redirect page makes it unreasonably difficult for users to locate similarly named articles via the search engine. For example, if the user searches for "New Articles", and is redirected to a disambiguation page for "Articles", it would take much longer to get to the newly added articles on Wikipedia.
- The redirect might cause confusion. For example, if "Adam B. Smith" was redirected to "Andrew B. Smith", because Andrew was accidentally called Adam in one source, this could cause confusion with the article on Adam Smith, so the redirect should be deleted.
- The redirect is offensive or abusive, such as redirecting "Joe Bloggs is a Loser" to "Joe Bloggs" (unless "Joe Bloggs is a Loser" is discussed in the article), or "Joe Bloggs" to "Loser". (Speedy deletion criterion G10 may apply.) See also: § Neutrality of redirects.
- The redirect constitutes self-promotion or spam. (Speedy deletion criterion G11 may apply.)
- The redirect makes no sense, such as redirecting Apple to Orange. (Speedy deletion criterion G1 may apply.)
- It is a cross-namespace redirect out of article space, such as one pointing into the User or Wikipedia namespace. The major exception to this rule are the pseudo-namespace shortcut redirects, which technically are in the main article space. Some long-standing cross-namespace redirects are also kept because of their long-standing history and potential usefulness. "MOS:" redirects, for example, are an exception to this rule. (Note "WP:" redirects are in the Wikipedia namespace, WP: being an alias for Wikipedia:.)
- If the redirect is broken, meaning it redirects to itself or to an article that does not exist, it can be immediately deleted under speedy deletion criterion G8, though you should check that there is not an alternative place it could be appropriately redirected to first.
- If the redirect is a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name, it is unlikely to be useful. In particular, redirects from a foreign language title to a page whose subject is unrelated to that language (or a culture that speaks that language) should generally not be created. Implausible typos or misnomers are candidates for speedy deletion, if recently created.
- If the target article needs to be moved to the redirect title, but the redirect has been edited before and has a history of its own, then it needs to be deleted to make way for move. If the move is uncontroversial, tag the redirect for G6 speedy deletion. If not, take the article to Requested Moves.
- If the redirect could plausibly be expanded into an article, and the target article contains virtually no information on the subject.
Reasons for not deleting[edit]
However, avoid deleting such redirects if:
- They have a potentially useful page history, or an edit history that should be kept to comply with the licensing requirements for a merge (see Wikipedia:Merge and delete). On the other hand, if the redirect was created by renaming a page with that name, and the page history just mentions the renaming, and for one of the reasons above you want to delete the page, copy the page history to the Talk page of the article it redirects to. The act of renaming is useful page history, and even more so if there has been discussion on the page name.
- They would aid accidental linking and make the creation of duplicate articles less likely, whether by redirecting a plural to a singular, by redirecting a frequent misspelling to a correct spelling, by redirecting a misnomer to a correct term, by redirecting to a synonym, etc. In other words, redirects with no incoming links are not candidates for deletion on those grounds because they are of benefit to the browsing user. Some extra vigilance by editors will be required to minimize the occurrence of those frequent misspellings in the article texts because the linkified misspellings will not appear as broken links.
- They aid searches on certain terms. For example, if someone sees the "Keystone State" mentioned somewhere but does not know what that refers to, then he or she will be able to find out at the Pennsylvania (target) article.
- You risk breaking incoming or internal links by deleting the redirect. For example, redirects resulting from page moves should not normally be deleted without good reason. Links that have existed for a significant length of time, including CamelCase links and old subpage links, should be left alone in case there are any existing links on external pages pointing to them. See also Wikipedia:Link rot § Link rot on non-Wikimedia sites.
- Someone finds them useful. Hint: If someone says they find a redirect useful, they probably do. You might not find it useful—this is not because the other person is being untruthful, but because you browse Wikipedia in different ways. stats.grok.se or the pageviews tool can also provide evidence of outside utility.
- The redirect is to a plural form or to a singular form, or to some other grammatical form.
- The redirect could plausibly be expanded into an article, and deleting the redirect would prevent anonymous users from so expanding the redirect, and thereby make the encyclopedia harder to edit and reduce the pool of available editors. (Anonymous users cannot create new pages in the mainspace; they can only edit existing pages, including redirects, which they can expand). This criterion does not apply to redirects that are indefinitely semi-protected or more highly protected.
Neutrality of redirects[edit]
Just as article titles using non-neutral language are permitted in some circumstances, so are redirects. Because redirects are less visible to readers, more latitude is allowed in their names. Perceived lack of neutrality in redirect names is therefore not a sufficient reason for their deletion. In most cases, non-neutral but verifiable redirects should point to neutrally titled articles about the subject of the term. Non-neutral redirects may be tagged with {{R from non-neutral name}}
.
Non-neutral redirects are commonly created for three reasons:
- Articles that are created using non-neutral titles are routinely moved to a new neutral title, which leaves behind the old non-neutral title as a working redirect (e.g. Climategate → Climatic Research Unit email controversy).
- Articles created as POV forks may be deleted and replaced by a redirect pointing towards the article from which the fork originated (e.g. Barack Obama Muslim rumor → deleted and now redirected to Barack Obama religion conspiracy theories).
- The subject matter of articles may be represented by some sources outside Wikipedia in non-neutral terms. Such terms are generally avoided in Wikipedia article titles, per the words to avoid guidelines and the general neutral point of view policy. For instance the non-neutral expression "Attorneygate" is used to redirect to the neutrally titled Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy. The article in question has never used that title, but the redirect was created to provide an alternative means of reaching it because a number of press reports use the term.
The exceptions to this rule would be redirects that are not established terms and are unlikely to be useful, and therefore may be nominated for deletion, perhaps under deletion reason #3. However, if a redirect represents an established term that is used in multiple mainstream reliable sources, it should be kept even if non-neutral, as it will facilitate searches on such terms. Please keep in mind that RfD is not the place to resolve most editorial disputes.
See also: Policy on which redirects can be deleted immediately.
Closing notes[edit]
- Details at: Administrator instructions for RfD.
Nominations should remain open, per policy, about a week before they are closed, unless they meet the general criteria for speedy deletion, the criteria for speedy deletion of a redirect, or are not valid redirect discussion requests (e.g. are actually move requests).
How to list a redirect for discussion[edit]
I. |
Tag the redirect.
Enter

III. |
Notify users.
It is generally considered good practice to notify the creator and main contributors to the redirect that you are nominating the redirect. may be placed on the creator/main contributors' user talk page to provide notice of the discussion. Please replace RedirectName with the name of the redirect and use an edit summary such as: Notice of redirect discussion at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion]] |
- Please consider using What links here to locate other redirects that may be related to the one you are nominating. After going to the redirect target page and selecting "What links here" in the toolbox on the left side of your computer screen, select both "Hide transclusions" and "Hide links" filters to display the redirects to the redirect target page.

November 23[edit]
Non-Muslim[edit]
An RFD discussion in July 2015 resulted in no consensus (and the target at that time was Kafir). The plural versions, Non-Muslims and Non-muslims were deleted in January 2016, but this one wasn't nominated for some reason. For these reasons, I think it's best to have a fresh discussion on the use of this term. -- Tavix (talk) 20:21, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
- Keep or delete. I successfully nominated the plural versions because they redirected to a derogatory term and didn't nominate this one by oversight. Afterwards I retargeted this one to the antonym as a quicker option. I don't see a problem with the current redirect, but I'm not opposed to deleting it either. Eperoton (talk) 00:14, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- Commment. We don't have Non-Christian, Non-Hindu or Non-Buddhist. We do have Non-Jewish, though that redirects to Gentile. So it's not clear-cut to me whether we should have the antonym; I can see the case for "Non-Jewish" since it doesn't redirect to the perhaps more-obvious Jews or Judaism. This has quite some history including being retargeted to Kafir and Islamic studies by author (non-Muslim or academic); this edit suggests it was listed at RfD on 22 June 2015, but actually it was then moved by User:Tavix to 23 June (without updating the RfD notice at the page) and then relisted on 30 June by User:Deryck Chan. But anyway, the history is preserved even if we delete it, so that's no reason to refrain from doing so. Si Trew (talk) 03:01, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- Delete It's like redirect anti-communism to communism. We do have Anti-Islam and Infidel#Islamic, so maybe a retarget is at least ought to be considered, but I have no strong opinion on that option. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:23, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. I would've opted for "keep" if the target was kafir given the past discussions and Non-Jewish → Gentile. But the fact that User:Eperoton retargeted it to Muslim on their own initiative with the comment Inappropriate redirect - Kafir is used as a pejorative term would suggest that we simply don't have a good target. Deryck C. 10:23, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- Retarget to Infidel#Islamic, which discusses non-Muslims. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:44, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- Retarget per User:AngusWOOF. I had thought of that but rejected it, thinking perhaps that was out of the frying pan, into the fire. But it does discuss it quite well, there, including specifically the usage "non-Muslim" although that is not sourced (but then, we're not WP:NOTDIC for sourcing every single word we use). On balance, retarget it. Si Trew (talk) 16:06, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
-
- That section also mentions kafir and the other variants. So if people need a more technical term for non-Muslim, they have a place to look there. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:15, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- Yup. Not to be confused with a keffir, of course... we don't seem to have that, but in Seth Efricen English that is used by whites to mean non-whites: not specifically (but largely) blacks. Or at least was by the Seth Efrican whites I knew in England, who were ultimately of Dutch origin. Not sure how spelt in South African English or British English, I've only ever heard it, never seen it spelt. Kaffir, actually, is a DAB that informs me: listing both Kafir (first) and Kaffir (racial term) among others, so perhaps there is still some untangling to do here... but I am not sure what or how. Si Trew (talk) 19:24, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- That section also mentions kafir and the other variants. So if people need a more technical term for non-Muslim, they have a place to look there. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:15, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - I feel like what we have now isn't right at all. I'd rather that we just get rid of the redirect. I suppose, though, that I wouldn't object to going to Infidel#Islamic if the consensus viewpoint leans that way. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 13:22, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- Retarget per AngusWOOF. That seems like the best target and has relevant information. There is also a link to kafir early on, which readers can click through. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 16:40, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

- The old internet → Mail (links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
Not synonymous with the target. The title of the redirects could refer to older versions or usage of the Internet. Steel1943 (talk) 19:38, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
- Retarget to Internet#History: If the reader looks for the old internet, this should probably makes sense. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 22:52, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
- Most unlikely lookup but certainly not to the current redirect Mail, so retarget per previous suggestion. ww2censor (talk) 14:49, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
- Retarget to History of the Internet as dedicated article to Internet structures before Al Gore invented it. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:38, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. Looks like a joke redirect to me. Ha ha. Deryck C. 16:05, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- Retarget to History of the Internet as the best target. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 16:27, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
- Retarget to Web 2.0#Web 1.0 for these are perhaps the best terms made for comparison. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 08:58, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
- Delete per Deryck. We've got a lot of suggestions for what to do with it (mine would be ARPANET), but no evidence that anything was/is known as "the old Internet". -- Tavix (talk) 19:19, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Hot oil manicure[edit]
I'm in the process of creating a disambiguation page at hot oil and I came across this redirect, and I have no idea what to do with it. At first, I thought "hot oil manicure" was what was being described at Manicure#Paraffin wax treatments, but after doing research, I'm starting to doubt that. I've come across a couple step-by-step guides (eg: [1] and [2]) and they don't mention wax. That being said, I believe we have a case where the target article doesn't mention this concept. (A semi-related issue: when I Google "hot oil", the primary result seems to be a "hot oil hair treatment" and I can't find any where on Wikipedia that describes that.) -- Tavix (talk) 18:47, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Tavix: I should have thought that if there is no obvious place for it to go then the default should be delete. If an intelligent but ignorant administrator cannot make head or tail of it, how can an intelligent but ignorant reader do better? Si Trew (talk) 19:45, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- Keep - as far as I can tell, a hot oil manicure is just any old manicure in which oil is used as a soak rather than water, so the redirect is correct enough. A paraffin wax manicure is one in which wax is used in place of water or oil, but a wax manicure is not an oil manicure. I'm not sure why there's a subsection on one and not the other, but it is how it is. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 22:35, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Short rate cancellation[edit]
- Short rate cancellation → Cancellation (insurance)#Short Rate (links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
This section target of this redirect doesn't exist in the target article, and the article is unclear if the title of the redirect refers to anything currently in the target article. Steel1943 (talk) 22:14, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
- Maybe refine target to Cancellation (insurance)#Cancellation methods? That section discusses cancellation methods that are apparently called "short Period Rate (old short rate)" and "short Period Rate (90% pro rata)." However, if "short rate cancellation" refers to forms of cancellation other than those used in insurance plans, then I think we should delete per WP:XY. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 22:50, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
- Weak Delete - It seems best to just let people search. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 19:01, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Deryck C. 11:35, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- Keep (either refine per NCFF or remove the section anchor altogether, no preference on which). The target describes two methods of "short rate cancellation", so we're good from that standpoint. As far as the term being vague, I haven't found evidence of that being the case with all of my results several pages back having to do with insurance. -- Tavix (talk) 16:11, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Deleteper above.LM2000 (talk) 08:32, 21 November 2016 (UTC)- Keep. Definitely not made up, but a phrase that is widely used by reliable sources in connection with the protests. USA Today, New York Times, Sydney Morning Herald, New Statesman, Reuters, AP. The phrase is mentioned at Make America Great Again, so I would also support retargeting there, and using one of the above sources to add a link to the protests. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 15:06, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
- Keep as Patar shows (unlike the above objectors who skimped on basic research) there is notable use of the phrase. We should only discuss the possible retargeting. The absence of a phrase on a page a redirect points to isn't evidence the redirect doesn't belong. It may be it was present and a vandal removed the source. I've seen this done before.

Wikipedia:Clarity in Policy Discussion[edit]
- Wikipedia:Clarity in Policy Discussion → Wikipedia talk:Blocking policy/Clarity in Policy Discussion (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
This redirect is an orphan, and the target is a subpage of the talk page regarding blocking policy. If someone is searching the redirect, they are probably not looking for this. Steel1943 (talk) 16:31, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
- Keep – I created it so that Wikipedia talk:Clarity in Policy Discussion, which has several historical links to it, would not be speedily deleted under CSD G8 as a talk page without a corresponding subject page. See my request for the talk page's undeletion and some further discussion. I wouldn't object if the redirect was retargetted, as long as there was some way to get from Wikipedia talk:Clarity in Policy Discussion to Wikipedia talk:Blocking policy/Clarity in Policy Discussion, without a risk of the former page being speedily deleted. Graham87 09:52, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
- And yes, such a deletion has happened before. Graham87 09:55, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
- So you created it so that it would not be deleted? What criterion of any XfD does that fall under, user:Graham87, "creation to avoid deletion"? That sounds rather a perverse thing to do. Could you, er, clarify? Deletion sometimes helps readers and editors to find what they might be looking for. Si Trew (talk) 23:28, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- As I have pointed out ad nauseam, deleting a page does not delete its history, so there is no question of it being about historical links. Delete. We are not the WikiWikiWayback machine. Si Trew (talk) 23:29, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- @SimonTrew: I'm not sure what there is to clarify, but I'll try again. the page Wikipedia talk:Clarity in Policy Discussion was created at that title, in the days before orphaned talk pages were seen as much of a problem. It was deleted in September 2005 then restored upon [my request, because I found a link to it at Wikipedia talk:Blocking policy/Archive 1. It was then moved to a subpage of the blocking policy, again at my request, so it wouldn't be orphaned. However I kept the redirect at the talk page around in order not to break old links, but it was also later deleted as orphaned. I undeleted it, and created a redirect from the title Wikipedia:Clarity in Policy Discussion, to make sure that page would never be deleted again.
- Also, re your assertion about historical links, the links are not historical – there are two active links from 2004 discussions to the talk page. And deleting a page does delete its history, which could theoretically become inaccessible even to admins at any time, but that is not a concern in this case. Graham87 01:45, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
- And yes, such a deletion has happened before. Graham87 09:55, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

- Hmm, User:Graham87, I know what you mean, but Wikipedia kinda changes its own history every day, in a very Minitrue kind of way. Whenever we change a link, we disrupt the history of the page on what it used to link to, whenever we change a target, we change what it would have looked like at the time that link was created, and so on. The idea that we have a full history is really rather a pretence, in the absence of my proposed WikiWikiWayback machine, that would give you not just a historical version of the page, but links also to the pages as they were at the time for the version of the page you're looking at, recursively. I don't think this would add much cost to the software to do this, because it could look up the history of the links you clicked through on demand (by munging the link to e.g. MyArticleName#Section to be Special:WikiWikiWayback/MyArticleName#Section?before=1999 December 31 or whatever) and take the hit for looking through the history when you clicked through it. That would then give you a much more coherent idea of what a page looked like at that time, including what it linked to. You're right, it wouldn't deal well with deleted links (unless it had special privileges to trawl the history of them). So my stance really is as a non-admin editor, what is it that I can't see that an admin can? I thought that an admin could see everything, even seeing through "deletes" on pages to have the history before they were deleted. If that's not the case, my argument falls a little, but it's only a minor injury. I still think the WikiWikiWayback would be a good thing to have and can see a way of implementing it even client-side (like stats.grok.se does, for example) but it would be quicker to do it server-side. Si Trew (talk) 10:19, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
- @SimonTrew: Admins can see deleted edits of pages, yes. They can see everything besides suppressed edits and edits that were deleted a long time ago. Your WikiWikiWayback idea would stress the servers out quite a lot for reasons that are far beyond the scope of this discussion; for a start, the [[#ifexist function is stressful enough for *current* revisions, and the database tables simply don't have historical data in an easily accessible manner ... and there's the matter of skins. Graham87 11:37, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
-
- Indeed, or any transclusion... if transcluding a template, wich version should it get? Which version of the Main page should it get? i.e. basically dows one recurse just shallow or deep? But I think one can just do it shallow by repointing the links on the surface page, so do it on click-through, not render the whole deep tree at that point in history. Patently it is possible, and could be useful. Maybe I write one to do it client-side via the API, then. Never done that before but I think I could manage it... presumably this would not stress the servers too much because the would choke it (load balance) if necessary? I had assumed that doing it via the API would put more load on, that the data were easily accessible server-side, but if that's not the case perhaps it wopuld be better to do it client-side.

Guinea National Library and Archives[edit]
- Guinea National Library and Archives → National Archives of Guinea (links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
I've had it moved to National Archives of Guinea, as National Library of Guinea already existed. There is no primary redirect target. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:27, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - A redirect seems of dubious usefulness as it seems unlikely that many if anyone would search for this combined term. Preserving links is a non-issue since only one article currently links. Neither individual article seems to be a clear winner for a redirect, and the current target seems chosen more or less at random. TimothyJosephWood 14:02, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
- Question The usage here indicates that these two organizations are linked in some way. Perhaps the two articles could be merged under this title if this is the case? ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 15:18, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
- These are two separate entities, headed by two different people AFAIK. The Guinea entry in World Encyclopedia of Library and Information Services doesn't even mention the archives, while the article "Archival and Research Resources in Conakry, Guinea" discusses the library and archives separately. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:55, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
- This citation is from 2014 though. Everything I found early seem to show that the two are seperate 1998 book, 2007 book, 2009 research guide. But as the research guide makes clear, the entire archival system is relatively disorganized, so it may have merged in the meantime. I have emailed the author of the 2014 book to see if he can provide any insight. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 19:02, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Clarityfiend (talk) 21:55, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. This title has been around since early 2011, and it's linked from lots of places; here's one such page, which I found with two minutes of searching. Don't create linkrot unless it's absolutely necessary. Nyttend (talk) 17:03, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
- Your example is a bad one. Archives and libraries have their own separate lists. There aren't any current mainspace links to this title. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:55, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
- Keep and make it a disambiguation page. It's not clear which would be the primary redirect target and deleting it would break links in current articles and old diffs. Yes, it may violate WP:TWODABS by only linking to two articles, but hey, WP:IAR, right? clpo13(talk) 17:21, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

- Delete This is a true WP:XY situation, so I recommend deletion unless we can find a sensible place that discusses both the library and archives. I don't see any such place. Patar knight's query would merit some exploration, though. Compare to Library and Archives Canada, where the two institutions were merged. But I'm not finding any official website for either Guinean institution, and this is the only thing I could find in VIAF. --BDD (talk) 17:48, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
- Comment There's an office for "Library and Archives" which encompasses both the National Library (Service of Papua New Guinea) [3] and the National Archives (and Public Records Services). [4] there's also the Guinea National Library and Archives Act. [5] Should the article cover that office? Otherwise, I agree it's an XY. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 04:25, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

It makes sense to have redirects for the name of a religion in the religion's sacred language (Classical Arabic), or possibly in a handful of "big" literary languages (on the assumption that the term in that particular language would have seen some use in English-language texts that have to do with the culture associated with that language).

Hatcher Pass, Alaska[edit]
- Hatcher Pass, Alaska → Hatcher Pass (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
This redirect's title follows the naming convention for populated places. It appears that it was created because Jim Colver gives his residence as "Hatcher Pass, Alaska". To the best of my knowledge, Hatcher Pass itself contains little or no full-time resident population at present, as the road over the pass is not maintained in winter (see here). Most folks, including Colver, who claim to live in "Hatcher Pass, Alaska" live in the Fishhook census-designated place, which extends north to include the pass. However, those people actually live mostly around Fishhook Junction and Edgerton Parks Road several miles to the south, which is different from the pass (CDP map). I would think a retargeting and hatnotes would solve this, but it may not be so obvious to others. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 04:08, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- My preference would be to retarget the redirect to the appropriate page, if it's indeed Fishhook, Alaska, rather than to delete it outright, just to minimize any potential confusion from people who come here and look up "Hatcher Pass, Alaska". -Kudzu1 (talk) 06:23, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- I don't think that's a good idea, because "Hatcher Pass, Alaska" is really just a
{{R from long name}}
(and{{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}
and we shouldn't point it elsewhere, which would suggest that Hatcher Pass is about some place that is not in Alaska. I think the best thing would be just to add explanatory content to the article along the lines RadioKAOS has written above. Perhaps a hatnote would serve, but we maybe can't make the explanation consise enough for that. Si Trew (talk) 07:46, 16 November 2016 (UTC)- Actually, neither rcat is correct in this case, because there are multiple uses of "Hatcher Pass" referring to things which are closely, but not precisely, related. "Hatcher Pass" and the article of that name refers to a mountain pass. "Hatcher Pass, Alaska" ostensibly refers to a populated place several miles away, as mentioned in the first sentence of the above rationale, which is really more a colloquialism than an actual recognized community. I commented at a current AFD where the keep votes policy-shopped WP:GEOLAND and specifically the reference to "populated, legally recognized places", which enables a glut of geostubs sourced solely to GNIS to proliferate. The only GNIS entry for "Hatcher Pass" is about the pass, whereas entries for "Fishhook" exist for both the CDP and Fishhook Junction, although the latter refers to a different road junction based on an outdated historical definition, when Palmer and not Wasilla was the activity and population center of the Mat-Su Valley. There is also a long-proposed Hatcher Pass ski area, likewise not located at the pass itself but a lot closer to the vicinity of the road junctions mentioned towards the end of the above rationale.

Renamed this redirect recently to the work he appears in. (fiction) is not a useful disambiguator. He's a fictional character, not fiction in general. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:40, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
- To attempt to clarify, Takashi Kawamura is a DAB. This R nomination is blocking a double redirect resolve, because the target as nominated is itself an R, to List_of_The_Prince_of_Tennis_characters#Takashi_Kawamura. That states to be the result of a merge, and is marked thus as
{{R from merge}}
. User:AngusWOOF moved it on 15 Nov 2016 leaving this vestige as the result of the move, but I don't know where the merge discussion is or was. I think thas can safely be deleted as WP:G6 housekeeping. I'll try that on AngusWOOF's behalf. Si Trew (talk) 10:50, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
- Retarget to new section. The (fiction) disambiguator doesn't imply that something is fiction in general, and even if it did, according to our DAB page the new target would be the best one as the only fictional Takashi Kawamura.

- Comment. Zou're right, User:Patar knight, in that the disambiguator merely needs to be the minimum to disambiguate, and the DABs at Takashi Kawamura andKawamura don't suggest there is any other notable fictional character. Probably "standard form" would be to have "(fictional character)" but it's no big deal for that. Yet, once the RfD tag is removed they will all fall through to go via Takashi Kawamura (The Prince of Tennis) → List of The Prince of Tennis characters#Takashi Kawamura so we need to fixup anyway. I've done most of it in the articles that would be double redirects once this is closed (whichever way it is closed). We've a surname DAB at Kawamura that IW'd frenziedly to JA;WP so I've changed the IW links to plain
{{lang|ja-Hani}}
per WP:DABLINK. I've not checked whether we have it in the Hiragani or Katakana yet, User:Siuenti is usually the expert on those ones if we do. Si Trew (talk) 11:11, 15 November 2016 (UTC) - I've done all the double redirects. A bot should have fixed them, but the Rfd notice blocked that, I imagine, since then they're not redirects. The only links remaining are in editor space, not reader space. User:Patar knight declined my CSD with the comment "let RfD handle it". Fair enough, I still say delete as this is just housekeeping, now. Si Trew (talk) 11:32, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Removing any links to this don't solve the problem of possibly breaking external links, which is high given this is a character from a popular anime.

- Retarget to Party since it seems to be the only subject listed at Social (disambiguation) that can be referred to by its plural form, considering that the definition of the subject at Social seems more like an adjective or adverb. Steel1943 (talk) 22:36, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
- Retarget to Party as per Steel1943. I note, also, that social gathering redirects there (but not social gatherings). The only link in article space was at List of ghost towns in Saskatchewan, where the context (" now the community hall for meetings and socials") makes it clear that this was meant to mean a social gathering: I've changed that, rather hesitantly, to go as "social gatherings". Socs goes to Ivy League (clothes), which says "Rahs and Socs (short for social)" but does not say "socials". Rahs is an R from other caps to the DAB at RAHS, conversely SOCS is a redirect to Suppressor of cytokine signalling. Si Trew (talk) 01:02, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

- @RedPanda25 and Pikachu RP25: How does that address the concerns listed above that nothing else on the disambiguation page other than party can be referred as "socials" in its plural form? Steel1943 (talk) 19:54, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - I don't think that a 'social' is the same as a 'party'; the terms can't be seen as identical synonyms. A public social event can be a solemn, unhappy affair as much as a pleasant occasion, to start with. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 07:23, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Copied text[edit]
- Wikipedia:Copied text → Wikipedia:Template messages/Splitting#For use on talk page (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
I'm thinking this should be retargeted to Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources. (This redirect was created about a week ago, so WP:BOLDly retargeting it would be controversial.) Steel1943 (talk) 04:16, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm not opposing this request, but it seems ill thought out and pointless, frankly. It would seem better to point it somewhere more useful, and that seems to be User:Steel1943's thinking too, rather than deletion. I created it intending to use it myself, but other priorities intervened and I see no incoming links at all. So no great impact to me if it's deleted, I can use longhand if and when I get back to the project of which it's part. But I see no harm in it as is, and would suggest that someone might instead mildly trout nom and suggest that next time, they might look at the history and then discuss with the creator. That seems only polite to me, and would avoid wasting time here. In view of the lack of links I would quite happily and boldly delete it myself if it really worries nom... but they first need to work out what if anything they really want done. Happy to help with that too! Andrewa (talk) 21:07, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Andrewa: After making this nomination, I realized that Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia may also be a possible target for this redirect. Maybe convert this redirect to a disambiguation page? Steel1943 (talk) 22:07, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
- Also, FWIW, I disagree that this nomination was a "trout"-able offense. I brought this nomination here so that the redirect could have community discussion, since well, Wikipedia is a community. Maybe I'm wrong in the community's eyes, maybe you're wrong, maybe we're both wrong. We really wouldn't know until community input is provided. Steel1943 (talk) 22:11, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
- Agree that community discussion is good. Two points.
- This is not the right forum for this discussion. Nobody seems to be proposing deletion. Not even you. While redirecting somewhere else is a possible outcome of RfD, the purpose of this page is to discuss potential deletion, and in particular to trigger any necessary admin action. There was never any suggestion that admin action would be needed here.
- Even if you did want deletion, it would be far better, for a page that has only one contributor, to first raise it on their user talk page. As I said, I would have been quite happy to boldly delete it if you'd only asked (or we could have invoked WP:CSD G7), and saved the time of everyone else who will now read this entry. This is a bit of a hot button for me, as there are several chronic backlogs requiring admin action at present. Andrewa (talk) 19:43, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Andrewa. I just wanted to correct one of your points. You seem to be confusing Redirects for Discussion with Redirects for Deletion. This is in fact the correct forum to have a discussion of this nature. -- Tavix (talk) 19:46, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
- I admit some surprise at this claim, as I remember the discussion of the page name from some years ago, and did recheck what WP:RfD currently says before commenting above, as I don't normally lurk here. So, you interpret it as meaning that, if you want discussion as to the correct target for a redirect, with no suggestion of deletion, this is the place to raise it? I would have thought that should be the article talk page (well, it's not an article, but it's in the article namespace so its talk page is in the article talk namespace). The intro to RfD talks mainly about deletion, but doesn't seem to spell it out either way. I still think this nom was a waste of time, but if those who do lurk here think it constructive, I stand corrected. Andrewa (talk) 11:23, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- The problem becomes which article's talk page do you want to have the discussion on, the current target or the article you want to retarget to? You can't have the discussion on the redirect's talk page, no one ever checks there. So redirects for discussion becomes that central place where those who care about redirects can come together and figure out the best place for a redirect to target. Of course, this isn't the only place to do so, a relevant WikiProject talk page usually works if the Project is active or the creator's talk page also works if you just have a quick question and/or don't need third party input. But RfD has typically proven fruitful. -- Tavix (talk) 15:03, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- Either the redir talk page or the (current) target talk page would do, with a heads-up on the other. and I would suggest the redir. As to whether anyone ever checks, the heads-up would handle that. But in this case I think my user talk page is the obvious place to start, as I said. But I note you disagree, and as nobody else has expressed any interest I'm happy to regard that as consensus among the regulars here. Best.
- User:Steel1943, apologies for the suggested trouting. It appears that you are more in touch with the process here than I am. I stand corrected. Andrewa (talk) 23:17, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

- @Andrewa: I had previously mentioned the idea of creating a disambiguation page at this title. To illustrate this possibility, I have drafted a disambiguation page under the redirect.

Steel1943 (talk) 23:33, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- I've never heard of having a DAB in the project namespace, and the DAB policy is explicitly about articles and article titles, not pages and page names in general. It might be more of a project page equivalent of a BCA... but that's most often exactly what a help page is. Interesting... Andrewa (talk) 23:48, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Andrewa: Yeah, I didn't think there was precedence for disambiguation pages in the "Wikipedia:" namespace either a few months ago. At some point, I ran across a page that was tagged with {{Wikipedia disambiguation}} (the linked template I put at the bottom of the disambiguation page draft) and thus noticed that there seems to be precedence to create disambiguation pages in the "Wikipedia:" namespace in certain situations. In fact, see Category:Wikipedia disambiguation pages for other such pages. Also, I have never seen a WP:BCA in the "Wikipedia:" namespace, so I'm not sure if there is precedence for that, but even if there was, due to how the "Wikipedia:" namespace works, I'd fear that such a page may further confuse readers who arrive at the page since the concept of "broad concept" may not work so well in the "Wikipedia:" namespace.

Shoulder (band)[edit]
- Shoulder (band) → Constantines (links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
This redirect was orginally delete and recreated as a redirect per the result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shoulder (band) in 2008. However, the subject itself is only mentioned in passing as the former band of some of the band's (the subject of the target article) members. Since this is the only time the subject of the redirect is mentioned in the article (and also named as an "associated act" in the infobox) without identifying the subject further, readers trying to find information about the subject of the redirect will not find enough information about the subject itself since it is not identified as a whole in the target article, nor is it an alternative name for the subject of the article. Steel1943 (talk) 21:42, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
Keep. Looks to me like an everyday {{redr|to related topic}}. What's the problem? The band is mentioned in the target article. It's not like this redirect is going to confuse anyone.Narky Blert (talk) 02:33, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Deryck C. 11:36, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- Delete It's mentioned as the band where two of the five members came from. But the band itself is not notable. The article doesn't give information as to how Shoulder has a strong impact on the songs of the current group, nor is it a working name for the band. It could be a garage band for all we know. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:54, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- Retarget to Bryan Webb. There's not really much information on this former band anywhere, but redirecting to the more notable band makes it seem as though Shoulder became Constantines, and that is not quite the truth. The article on the other member of Constantines who was also a member of Shoulder was an entirely unsourced BLP and I've redirected it to the band's article, so redirecting this band to its one notable performer should be fairly uncontroversial.

Dozens of redirects to Westboro Baptist Church from bigoted slogans. I concede that a few of the slogans I found are well known, having been mentioned extensively in mainstream sources. In such cases the redirect is likely reasonable and I will refrain from nominating any that I think are sufficiently well known to be kept. But most of these are obscure and the redirects are at best gratuitous. Wikipedia should not be used as a platform/advertising redirect for or by fringe groups.

- Keep all - if you're offended by these slogans then congratulations, you're a human being, but Wikipedia is not censored: we don't remove things just because they're offensive These are slogans used by Westboro and if someone were to see that slogan somewhere (like at one of Westboro's funeral pickets) and type it into the search engine here, they should get to the organization's article. Several of these are specifically described in the article, albeit in an image: Thank God for 9-11, Thank God for IEDs, Fag Troops, God: USA's Terrorist. For those that are linked to the organization but not specifically mentioned in the article, these aid searches. Without Fags Die God Laughs, a search for that term turns up pages like Mussolini: His Part in My Downfall, Lovecraftian horror, and John Lennon; hardly useful results for this phrase. Also of note: many more of these are mentioned specifically with citations in our article The Most Hated Family in America, which is a documentary about this organization, but I still think the phrases better suit readers if they target Westboro's main article.

- For the record I deliberately left alone several redirects that have gotten widespread mention in RS sources. GOD HATES FAGS, Thank God for Dead Soldiers, Thank God for IEDs. But most of these are just bigoted rants with no well known connection to the WBC. Some are probably used by other fringe groups. I don't think we should be used as a promotional platform by the WBC (see WP:PROFRINGE) and I don't think we should allow them to co-opt ownership of every bigoted phrase. And then there is the problem of WP:INDISCRIMINATE. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:00, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Moldavian Singles Chart[edit]
- Moldavian Singles Chart → Kiss FM (Romania) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
Unreasonable redirect. XXN, 20:00, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- Weak keep per WP:RFD#K5. Unlikely but reasonable, second sentence of target says "Kiss FM Romania also has a branch in Chișinău, the capital of Moldova, that broadcasts a mix between Kiss FM in Bucharest and local radio programmes." It is a slight stretch to pushing it to it broadcasting a singles chart, but not that far. We have also Kiss FM (Moldova) to the same target, so perhaps we don't need both. My watershed would be whether Kiss FM in Romania or Moldova calls it "singles chart" in English, they could well do but I'd need to research that by listening to it. (Hungarian radio stations often drop English into it to be "cool", and of course a lot of the songs are in English.) In the meantime it is a weak signal for keep. Si Trew (talk) 22:10, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
-
- Not only Kiss FM Romania has a branch in Moldova, but other Romanian radio stations as well (Pro FM, Radio 21 etc.) And probably each of them has it's own songs chart, but no one of these can be named "Moldavian Singles Chart". MediaForest Moldova [12][13] ran such a chart for some time, but currently it is discontinued, I think. In any case, before creating such a redirect, user should mention this in the target article citing realiable sources. As sources are missing (moreover, even can't exist), this bad redirect must be deleted. --XXN, 14:20, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

- The plausible use case is making the links work if anyone copies and pastes the information off their website and into our citations. It might be ideal to add the section information in a different parameter (if you're using {{cite news}}, which the editor might not be), but AFAICT there's no actual rule against assuming that the website is giving you an accurate name and putting down whatever they've got in an article. WhatamIdoing (talk) 15:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
- Keep USA Today NEWS/ONLINE/INTERNATIONAL/SPORT. "USA Today News" and "USA Today Online" uses a nomenclature shared by many media organizations (e.g. BBC News, BBC Online). "USA Today International" is a seperate edition that they publish for international readers and is mentioned in the article.

- Keep at least USA Today NEWS, which has a surprising number of page views (averaging two visitors every three days) for something that nobody would ever have a reason to search for or otherwise visit. USA Today LIFE maxed out at five page views on the same day a little while ago. The "YOUR NEWS - WHEN YOU WANT IT" variant similarly had nine page views on a single day, but that was after it was listed, so perhaps voters clicked on it. Overall, I'm leaning keep for all of them. The basic arguments for deletion are that they're unnecessary for the voters (which is not a valid argument for deleting them) and that the use of caps offends our sense of aesthetics (which is also not a valid argument for deletion). These are 8-year-old redirects. They're not used in an articles at the moment, but we don't know how many old article revisions or external links they were used in.

- Weak keep for historical links per the redirect's creator. This was previously an active page prior to it being deleted per Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Lua/Modules. Also, redirect in the "Wikipedia:" namespace are not always required to be useful search terms of the redirect has a specific historical benefit, such as this one does. (Other related examples are redirects left over from page moves if the leftover redirect was the former, longstanding name of the page; this redirect somewhat falls under that classification.) Steel1943 (talk) 14:11, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
- Comment I'm in two minds about this. It's absolutely true that not all Lua modules are high-risk, but that's not the reason that I created the redirect. The reason was that between April 2013 and May 2014 the "High-risk Lua modules" option in the protection reasons drop-down that admins see in the page-protection dialog was linked to Wikipedia:Lua/Modules, so all the
edit summarieslog entries for modules protected between those dates (i.e. most of them) linked to that page, and they can't be changed (at least not easily). The redirect was intended to give people clicking on those links a handy explanation of what "high-risk" means in relation to modules. The protection log entry appears both in the log pages and at the top of protected modules when you try to edit them, so it is fairly high-profile.Deleting this redirect would make it harder for people to find information about high-risk modules, so I'm not in favour of that. However, I agree that the redirect isn't an obvious one, so just keeping it isn't ideal either. Perhaps we could make it into some kind of disambiguation page linking to both WP:Lua and WP:High-risk templates? — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 14:21, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

These redirects may be less commonly used than the name of their article destinations, but they're terms that are certainly in use.

Those kinds of redirects do make sense though when the number disambiguates which president, such as in the Bush cases. In common parlance, I do use the term "Bush 41", but not "Obama 44" so much; I do appreciate that there's a redirect in place.

Once upon a time, these were standalone articles about various myths and legends in Polish folklore. In approximately 2006, they were all turned into redirects, but the current target says nothing about them. One option would be to delete these redirects to encourage potential article creation and to avoid the potential for WP:SURPRISE when readers are directed to the current target. My preference is to retarget them all to Polish mythology, which includes a list of these terms (but no explanation of their meaning or significance), though I figured its best to open a discussion about these at this forum. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 02:58, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

- Unfortunately, the (moreover, messy and unsourced) article "Polish mythology" should be deleted, or at least radically changed/written anew. There is not such a thing like "Polish mythology". This notion may be used metaphorically, or in some (for example, neopagan) circles, but it is not a real scientific term. The current article "Polish mythology" is a stange mix of the (real, but porly known) Slavic mythology, medieval legends, folk customs and believes, and espescially medieval and modern forgeries.

Putinland[edit]

See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Putinland for some context. This is a rough synonym for something like "Vladimir Putin's Russia", but that's too rough to merit a redirect anywhere. Indeed, the phrase isn't mentioned anywhere on Wikipedia. It reminds me of two neologisms in American politics: Nixonland and Clintonland, both of which sort of denote the person's inner circle, are generalizable as a "-land" suffix, and suggest something shady (cf. the "-gate" suffix). But as you can see, one of those is red, and one is a book title. BDD (talk) 22:16, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

- Delete "Trump caterpillar" has gone viral multiple times, and over the various viral iterations, things have gotten very confused. Originally, a photo of a caterpillar taken in Peru was dubbed "Trump caterpillar" and went viral in early 2013 (see this Facebook post. Megalopyge opercularis does not occur in Peru, although related species do. A 2015 article includes the Peruvian photo, but mentions similar species, including M. opercularis (and this 2014 article also has the Peruvian photo alongside a mention of M. opercularis). Some of the instances of the original Peruvian photo attribute copyright to Phil Torres. In the most recent viral iteration, Megalopyge opercularis is being conflated with whatever was in the original Peruvian photo. The most recent viral iteration seems to stem from this Youtube video; I don't have sound, so I'm not sure what is being said, but apparently Jeff Cremer is claiming credit for the 2013 photo (possible, he is affiliated with the lodge that made the Facebook post), and is now claiming that the Peruvian caterpillar is M. opercularis (having apparently gotten confused into a misidentification from previous viral iterations). Long story short, multiple Megalopyge species bear some resemblance to Trump's hair. The first species that got viral attention was Peruvian; that species wasn't identified originally, but is now being misidentified as M. opercularis. Plantdrew (talk) 16:53, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

- Keep although I am the creator who Ribbet is declaring a "problem user". Ribbet is not providing an accurate synopsis about this. You can see at http://southpark.wikia.com/wiki/Sponsored_Content/Script that the phrase is used several times (not just once) in the episode, as follows:
- PC Bro 14: No other way to be. So uh, listen. I think you're really pretty and interesting, and I'd kinda like to take you upstairs and totally crush your pussy
- PC Bro 14: No, I'm sorry, I need affirmative consent. I'll need you to say "Yes, you may take me upstairs and crush my pussy at this time." .
- headline reads "'PC' STANDS FOR PUSSY CRUSHING"
- Sharon: Do you want to explain to me what pussy crushing is?!
- Jimmy: Does this have to do with me calling the school principal a pussy crusher?
- PC Principal: I don't speak up for minorities so that I can crush pussy.
- PC Principal: I came to this town really thinking I could make a difference. I've been called a bigot towards persons with disabilities. I've been called... Pussy-crusher, because of the behavior of a very few individuals in my PC frat.
- "PC Principal" is now the regular principal on South Park, and this repeated use is notable for that reason because it is what he is called.
- It may be worth arguing however that rather than redirecting to South Park that the term be explained in some sort of article about slang (assuming it's not notable enough for its own) because I just did some additional research and it appears that the phrase was in use prior to this 2016 episode:
- Magary, Drew (26 March 2012). "Gentlemen, Please Stop Crushing Vaginas". Deadspin.com.
please, stop crushing pussy. For real.
- Magary, Drew (26 March 2012). "Gentlemen, Please Stop Crushing Vaginas". Deadspin.com.
- Is there an appropriate list of slang words for hooking up for a 1-night stand that this could be directed to instead of the south park episode? Ranze (talk) 20:31, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Deryck C. 11:07, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
- Comment I don't know what was to be gained from relisting. Only person who wanted it kept was the creator. A few uses in a TV episode doesn't change that it was one TV episode; One external link produced by the creator (where it wasn't even the primary topic of the article) doesn't change that this term is little-used outside of porn. Neelix redirects became speedyable because of cringeworthy sexism; this is more misogynistic since it uses violent imagery against female parts. Finally, hardly just me "declaring" Ranze is a problem user. The AN/I thread started by LM2000 and Crash Underride led to his third topic ban- and we see the same patterns, denying the authenticity and legitimacy of the topic bans, claiming to be misrepresented in the evidence, dumping unreliable and non-notable sources. Ribbet32 (talk) 00:17, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

- I honestly don't see how Ranze hasn't been blocked yet for this crap. He's been topic banned three times now. Really? How many times until he's blocked and told not to create any re-directs? This needs to be taken care of, this is getting tiresome. Oh and if no one noticed Delete. (talk page stalker) CrashUnderride 06:31, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
- Crash is I believe well aware that my topic ban against creating redirects began 13 September 2016. I created pussy crushing on 23 November 2015, over 9 months prior to the restrictions. People don't get banned for editing in an area of topic ban prior to the ban being enacted. This is why it should be mandatory when nominating RFD to state the date the redirect was created, so people don't jump to conclusions like this. Ranze (talk) 17:30, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Ribbet32: I'm confused by this 'three times' thing. There was the gamergate ban a year ago and then... are you counting the simultaneous September wrestling/redirect as two distinct times or am I forgetting one? I've never heard the PC term used in porn, South Park was the first time I heard it and when I looked into it, the other sources on the matter are complaints about college bro culture, not pornography. It has prior use outside South Park so we should consider rather than deletion if we could use these sources on another page. Perhaps in Category:2010s slang. I don't know if creating an entire crushing pushy page (as the above Deadspin article from 2012 I cited, predating South Park, phrases the expression) is worth it, but if we could consolidate terms like this into a list?

Seemingly better suited to target public service. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 10:21, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not sure about that. Public service doesn't mention public servants at all, whereas the WP:FIRSTSENTENCE of Civil service starts "A civil servant or public servant is a person in the public sector"... which is a discrepancy with the article's title. Si Trew (talk) 13:15, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

These foreign language redirects lack an affinity for their targets (WP:RFOREIGN & Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Common outcomes#Foreign languages). They were all created by the same user, however, all the others and vast majority of foreign language redirects they've created seem okay. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 07:33, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
- Comment: Godsy, do you speak these languages? I don't at all; I must rely entirely on Google Translate. But Google's having trouble with all of these titles. The first one is identified as Pashto, and is translated as "sێw". The second one (بەڕوو) it says is Arabic for "Bەڕoo". The third (زانا) is supposedly Persian and translates as "Zana". And the last one (ئارڤین، کالیفۆرنیا) Google says is Urdu, and translates it as "Yarڤyn, kalyfۆrnya" which, if you squint, sorta kinda sounds like its target.
- Most likely, this is all one language that Google can't deal with. But maybe we should ask the creator what was meant? Or if they're not around, we need to get some speakers of this/these language(s) to take a look. — Gorthian (talk) 08:05, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
- It doesn't really matter: they really have no "affinity" as we generally call it for the target; or as other people put it "not particularly Arabic" (or whatever language). While it is sometimes useful to keep foreign-language terms that are closely related to the subject in various ways (from history, etymology, and so on), WP:NOTDIC and WP:FORRED often mean a Delete is more sensible.

- (edit conflict) @Gorthian: I don't speak a word of whatever language these redirects are in.

- More likely Central Kurdish (Sorani language, written in the Sorani alphabet, because of the abundance of vowels. I'm only inferring that from basic linguistic knowledge, though. It looks like زانا has significantly different meanings in different languages written in (loosely) the Arabic script: I'm really not sure these are anything but WP:RFD#D2 confusing as a WP:SURPRISE when there's no info about the terms at their respective targets, again, we encounter the problem of false friends if they mean different things in different foreign languages they essentially end up as being WP:XY.

- Section 1 of the target, "Names", says " To bypass internet censorship in China, which uniformly considers all the above-mentioned names too 'Sensitive' for search engines and public forums, alternative names have sprung up to describe the events on the Internet, such as May 35th"...
- May 35 is a DAB with this target as the first entry (I've changed the description there a little since saying "in contexts where June 4 is censored" is just confusing). 35 May is a redirect to that DAB. May 35, 1989 redirects straight to Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. There's also 35th May and 35th of May to the DAB. I've rcatted as
{{R from ambiguous}}
for those that go to the DAB. I've rcatted this as{{R from other name}}
as I have for May 35, 1989. - So, I'm saying keep it. While 35 May might refer to something else, the 1989 essentially disambiguates it and this gets people (except perhaps people in China?) to where they want to go. Si Trew (talk) 07:40, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Gtrans detects it as Kurmanji language (Northern Kurdish) and translates it as masipata; Wiktionary marks "masipata" written in Latin alphabet as Chamicuro language (an endangered indigenous South American language which may be the same as the extinct Aguano language), meaning "banana". This seems rather a leap... or is it good Arabic script for another language? For Arabic, Persian etc it just returns "M ۆ Z" or similar; Wikipedia doesn't seem to have the word "masipata" anywhere.

{{R from other language|de}}

. "Trompete" is also the Portuguese for it, but I chose German because the reference is in German; nothing stops us adding more than one language template, anyway. Si Trew (talk) 07:07, 18 November 2016 (UTC) - Delete both as WP:RFD#D2 confusing, not at target (in body text). The first is mentioned only in a German-language references, and the second only in a redirect hatnote. Tromba (film) should probably be moved over Tromba. "Tromba" is a false friend in (at least) a couple of other Romance languages, es:tromba is a waterspout and pt:tromba is a proboscis; so it is rather WP:XY even as a foreign-language redirect. (Catalan, Romanian and Latin are red). I guess, WP:NOTDIC kicks in really, not a translation dictionary.
- For the other, Wiktionary lists both "Trompete" (German) and "trompete" (German and Portuguese). Si Trew (talk) 07:07, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
- Keep for Trompete (modifying target to mention term in infobox or names section) and Make disambiguation for Tromba (there is also Tromba (film) and Tromba (skipper), so that should be uncontroversial). (Disclosure: I created both.) Music encyclopedias (such as the most prestigious one, The New Grove, but others as well) generally cross-index musical instruments (and some other music terminology) from major musical languages (usually German, French, and Italian), presumably for the reason that those are the terms encountered in classical music scores, which are not usually issued in translation and thus are frequently encountered by English-speaking musicians. Basically this is a matter of WP:UEIA. (I can't think of a similar context where they are likely to see the senses of proboscis or waterspout, so I don't really see it like WP:XY.) In Grove, these names in other languages then appear under the heading for the English term. For this reason, both of these terms were on the original list for Music encyclopedia topics/44, which is why I created the redirects. (Both terms should of course appear somewhere in the Trumpet article, though.) Rigadoun (talk) 01:20, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

- Speedy keep @Pyrusca: Why? Pppery 23:09, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
- Retarget to Nakhchivan (city), which was apparently known in antiquity as Naxuana, of which Naxuan appears to be a variant [27]. – Uanfala (talk) 11:41, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
- Retarget per Uanfala. The original target was the republic, where "Naxuana" is also mentioned. But the citations quoted there speak of the "city", so the city is the best target for Naxuan. Because Naxuana also redirects there, that will be consistent. — Gorthian (talk) 21:11, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
- Comment Well, it's been deleted now, which probably indicates that Pyrusca didn't place the RFD template on the page. — Gorthian (talk) 00:28, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
- Actually it was tagged correctly, but apparently after it was already placed on one of the master lists of Neelix-created redirects for speedy deletion. If consensus here is to recreate or retarget it, any user in good standing may do so. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:36, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
- I've recreated the redirect. That doesn't feel like the most proper thing to do, but it's proving to be much less bother than having it undeleted. – Uanfala (talk) 21:08, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
Relisting comment: This was previously closed by User:BDD as "speedily deleted by Beeblebrox" at 14:39, 11 November 2016 (UTC). The outcome was challenged at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2016 November 17 and the RfD was resumed.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Deryck C. 19:46, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
- Restore deleted revisions per WP:RUD and speedy retarget per Uanfala. Nominator didn't suggest an action and no others have been suggested; should be a WP:SNOW case. Regarding attribution, my feeling is that this particular redirect is sufficiently creative to require crediting the original creator, and also their contribution was deleted somewhat out of process, so we ought to presume copyright applies. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:22, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
-
- I disagree. Making a redirect from a translation isn't creative enough to require attribution, and if it's restored, it makes the X1 situation possible again since it was originally created by Neelix. I know there are a couple people making another sweep through his contributions, restoring this will add it back there. The status quo would prevent that from happening. -- Tavix (talk) 20:51, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
- The X1 injunction only applies where a redirect hasn't been subsequently edited by another human editor. Because we have RfD + re-creation + RfD closure (likely retarget) this should not reappear on the X1 cleanup list, assuming the list was programmed correctly. Deryck C. 10:52, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
- I'm talking about Neelix's contribution list, which isn't editable and will reappear there should the redirect be restored. -- Tavix (talk) 13:30, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
- Also, the instructions at WP:X1 don't mention anything about whether or not another editor has edited it. I agree with your interpretation, but others might not. -- Tavix (talk) 14:55, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

- Restore deleted revisions per Ivanvector. I don't know if digging up the ancient name of a city requires attribution, but it certainly doesn't hurt, provided Deryck's observation holds true. – Uanfala (talk) 13:27, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
- Keep as is. An editor in good standing and good faith has recreated the redirect. That should've resolved all problems and we could've been done here. Uanfala had to dig this issue out of the grave by taking this to deletion review over an incorrectly applied CSD tag, which means we're now debating whether or not the redirect should be restored? This is one petty issue after another, but I'll play along... -- Tavix (talk) 13:36, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
- I'm slightly contrite for having become the cause of all that. When the G4 tag was placed, I couldn't persuade the nominator that it was inapplicable so I reckoned the redirect was likely to get deleted (I regularly see speedy deletions that are much more wildly off than that) and I imagined it would get stuck in a loop of getting deleted again every time it was recreated. I thought the delrev would put the matter to rest and possibly give us a chance to examine the two (questionable, in my opinion) practices that are the root of this situation: speedy deleting pages that are under discussion and closing discussions as "speedy delete" when no participant has supported the deletion. Well, the delrev achieved neither and instead has apparently locked us into another catch-22. – Uanfala (talk) 14:00, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
-
-
- If the redirect were to be deleted, the next step would be talking with the deleting admin to explain to them why the tag was inapplicable. You jumped the gun twice by taking it to DRV before that could even happen, which turned the molehill into a mountain. I know you had the best of intentions, and I'm not faulting you for that or trying to point fingers, I'm just calling what I observed. Back to the root of the problem, you mentioned that you don't want the deletion of this redirect to happen again, and I'm taking that stance by wanting to keep it as-is. By restoring the redirect so that Neelix is the creator, there stands a chance that this redirect could be deleted again via WP:X1. I'm trying to prevent that from happening by saying let's leave it as it is. -- Tavix (talk) 14:54, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

- Comment - I'm not sure about the issue, but I encourage Tim Cruz to be nominated for deletion. My instinct is that he's not notable. There's a District Attorney named Timothy J.

Target is not a disambiguation page. (But since the redirect was formerly a disambiguation page, I don't see this being immediately uncontroversial.) Steel1943 (talk) 18:25, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. As a franchise page, it does disambiguate between the similarly named games of its series, and is unlikely to get moved, so the redirect is cheap. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 18:31, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. As long as I have worked on dab pages, I have assumed that titles with "(disambiguation)" in them should always redirect to a dab page (if they are not dab pages themselves). And that "dab page" means a page with the {{disambiguation}} template, not a list or any other article. When the dab page is gone, the "(disambiguation)" redirect should be gone, too. — Gorthian (talk) 00:23, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

- Keep both per previous discussions on this sort of redirect and the scope of NOTFAQ (perhaps my heart has grown three sizes since the last discussion). The target answers the question posed by the redirect title, and does so in the first and second paragraphs of the lede as well as in the infobox, including the various different churches' varying interpretations of when exactly Christmas is. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 21:28, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

- Delete both per WP:COSTLY. This format has no more affinity for this recurring holiday than any other, especially as it has a fixed date. Even beyond that per Champion.

Holiday decorations[edit]
I'm inclined to retarget this to Christmas decoration but am hesitant to do so, because Christmas is not the only holiday for which people decorate things, or are decorated themselves. However, I couldn't find anything better at the DAB at decoration. (Incidentally, holiday decoration is red.) Si Trew (talk) 12:49, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as vague WP:XY AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:14, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- Weak retarget per nom. There are an awful lot of holidays which are not Christmas for which there are traditional decorations, although this seems to be the only one for which we have a separate article. If there were others then perhaps we could turn this into a set index, but I haven't been able to find any by very quickly searching. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 21:34, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as vague. From Holiday:
The word holiday has differing connotations in different regions. In the United States the word is used exclusively to refer to the nationally, religiously or culturally observed day(s) of rest or celebration, or the events themselves, whereas in the U.K. and other Commonwealth nations, the word may refer to the period of time where leave from one’s duties has been agreed, and is used as a synonym to the US preferred vacation.
- (emphasis added). I'd go further: in UK "holiday" without qualification means "vacation" (a U.S. word, which as a Brit I understand but do not use), to be distinguished from e.g. "Christmas holiday" and "bank holiday". Narky Blert (talk) 02:02, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as potentially confusing --Lenticel (talk) 00:36, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Pretty sure that the next Qatar election isn't happening in 2013 since it's now 2016, nor is a canceled election in 2013 going to be the next election. Steel1943 (talk) 02:13, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

- I suggest renaming this to Cancelled Qatari general election, 2013 and having it focus on the cancelled event. The next one can be redlinked until details are provided heading into 2019. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:31, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
- That suggestion was rejected in an RM on the article's talk page. Number 57 15:11, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
- It was rejected because it was in a postponed status at the time of the RM which was 2014 and it was questioned whether the article should even exist (possible AFD?). That it has been several years since the postponement with no new election scheduled is just opening the article to WP:CRYSTAL. Renaming to Cancelled Qatari general election, 2013 would keep it as a stub but complete. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:43, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

- Delete indefinitly as implausible typo. If someone's looking for the election they would not be struggling with the spelling of that word, but rather focus on Qatar/Qatari or cancelled/canceled. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:18, 16 November 2016 (UTC) updated 16:38, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- Keep first one and last two per Patar knight, delete the others. The general election scheduled in Qatar for 2013 is still going to happen (it's still the same election) but it was postponed to 2016, then postponed again to 2019; the target is the article which discusses this election and its postponements. We do not have and are not likely to ever have a separate article for this bit of procedural wrangling, it's all part of the same event. "Cancelled" is incorrect but it is a plausible error (whether you think it should be "canceled" or whether you rightly observe that the election was not cancel[l]ed but postponed).

List of chocolate brands[edit]
Vague search term but the current target is not appropriate, I reckon just delete, we have List of bean-to-bar chocolate manufacturers, List of chocolate bar brands etc but all are less general to be retargeted. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 09:30, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

More obscure, unlikely, vague, alien, Neelix-esque, Neelixish terms, Christmas-themed what? - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 08:05, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- Comment Can I take a second to point out the irony of using made-up words like "Neelix-esque" and "Neelixish"? The Neelix redirects have largely been taken care of, I don't see why we need to continue the hysteria surrounding his name. It's especially problematic if a non-regular of RfD comes in here, they might think we're speaking an alien language. More to the point, our article on Christmas traditions might be "close enough" for at least one or two of these. -- Tavix (talk) 15:46, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Tavix: It was I who started this business, and I can't think of a better way to call redirects by this. Perhaps Neelix already has a certain degree of bad reputation attached to his name, I see where you're coming from, but I only mean this lightheartedly. There is already quite a lot of alien tongue spoken at RfD (FORRED, etc). I have had to explain RFOREIGN a couple of times already, I reaffirm I am only using those terms lightheartedly, now I'm beginning to wonder what are we to do should Neelix begin editing again soon. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 20:51, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Nominating for deletion per WP:FORRED. The target article talks about the large immigrant population, but it's certainly not all Korean. Yet this is the only foreign-language redirect to the article. Delete. — Gorthian (talk) 02:42, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
의식동원[edit]
I suspect this is WP:FORRED, because nothing in the target article mentions anything about Korean practices or affinities.

어둠의 왼손[edit]
This book has been translated into dozens of languages. There used to be a list of the translations in the article but, on the way to FA status, the decision was made to delete that section. This is the only foreign-language redirect to the article and, since the book has no special meaning or affinity for Korean, it should be deleted per WP:FORRED. — Gorthian (talk) 01:38, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as above. Si Trew (talk) 01:45, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- Keep
Bad practice to relist something closed as no-consensus a few days ago.[Closed as "Trainwreck".]- It's a redirect, it has existed for some time, it does no harm. The guideline WP:R#HARMFUL says we should not delete.
- It's useful for someone who has the title, and wants to know more about the book.
- It's not a "vocabulary translation" like "dog" or "cat".
- FORRED is an essay - the opinion of some editors, with which other editors disagree.
- The fact that other translations don't have redirects is irrelevant - an "other stuff doesn't exist" argument by which the whole of Wikipedia would vanish.
