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. Please do not use this as the only reason to delete a redirect.

Before listing a redirect for discussion[edit]

Please be aware of these general policies, which apply here as elsewhere:

The guiding principles of RfD[edit]

Shortcut:
  • 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 can also serve as a central discussion forum for debates about which page a redirect should target. In cases where retargeting the redirect could be considered controversial, it is advisable to leave a notice on the talk page of the redirect's current target page or the proposed target page to refer readers to the redirect's nomination to allow input and help form consensus for the redirect's 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]

Further information: Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Common outcomes

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.

Shortcut:

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):

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. The redirect constitutes self-promotion or spam. (Speedy deletion criterion G11 may apply.)
  5. The redirect makes no sense, such as redirecting Apple to Orange. (Speedy deletion criterion G1 may apply.)
  6. 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:. Speedy deletion criterion R2 may apply in some cases.)
  7. 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.
  8. 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 criterion R3, if recently created.
  9. 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.
  10. If the redirect could plausibly be expanded into an article, and the target article contains virtually no information on the subject.
Shortcut:

Reasons for not deleting[edit]

However, avoid deleting such redirects if:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. The redirect is to a closely related word form, such as a plural form to a singular form.
  7. The redirect could plausibly be expanded into an article, and deleting the redirect would prevent unregistered users from expanding the redirect, and thereby make the encyclopedia harder to edit and reduce the pool of available editors. (Unregistered 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]

Shortcut:

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:

  1. 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).
  2. 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).
  3. 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]

Shortcut:
I.
Tag the redirect.

  Enter {{subst:rfd|content= at the very beginning of the redirect page you are listing for discussion, and enter }} at the very end. Example:

{{subst:rfd|content=#REDIRECT [[Foo]]{{R from move}}}}
  • Please do not mark the edit as minor (m).
  • Please include in the edit summary the phrase:
    Nominated for RFD: see [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion]].
  • Save the page.
  • If you are unable to edit the redirect page because of protection, this step can be omitted, and after step 2 is completed, a request to add the RFD template can be put on the redirect's talk page.
  • If the redirect you are nominating is in template namespace, consider adding |showontransclusion=1 to the rfd tag so that people using the template redirect are aware of the nomination
II.
List the entry on RfD.

 Click here to edit the section of RfD for today's entries.

  • Enter this text below the date heading:
{{subst:rfd2|redirect=RedirectName|target=TargetArticle|text=The action you would like to occur (deletion, re-targeting, etc.) and the rationale for that action.}} ~~~~
  • For this template:
    • Put the redirect's name in place of RedirectName, put the target article's name in place of TargetArticle, and include a reason after text=.
    • Note that, for this step, the "target article" is the current target of the redirect (if you have a suggestion for a better target, include this in the text that you insert after text=).
  • Please use an edit summary such as:
    Nominating [[RedirectName]]
    (replacing RedirectName with the name of the redirect you are nominating).
  • To list multiple related redirects for discussion, use the following syntax. Repeat line 2 for N number of redirects:
{{subst:rfd2|redirect=RedirectName1|target=TargetArticle1}}
{{subst:rfd2|multi=yes|redirect=RedirectName2|target=TargetArticle2}}
{{subst:rfd2|multi=yes|redirect=RedirectNameN|target=TargetArticleN|text=The actions you would like to occur (deletion, re-targeting, etc.) and the rationale for those actions.}} ~~~~
  • If the redirect has had previous RfDs, you can add {{Oldrfdlist|previous RfD without brackets|result of previous RfD}} directly after the rfd2 template.
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.

To find the main contributors, look in the page history of the redirect. For convenience, the template

{{subst:RFDNote|RedirectName}} ~~~~

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.

Wikipedia talk:Itnc[edit]

This redirect redirects to the wrong page. It should redirect to Wikipedia talk:In the news just as Wikipedia talk:In the news/Candidates does. It's also common practice to have redirects of this type (shortcuts) capitalized (WP:AN, WP:ACC, WP:CHU, etc.), unlike this one, which is why I either deleting this page and creating WT:ITNC to redirect to Wikipedia talk:In the news or moving it without leaving a redirect (There are currently no pages that link to it except for this discussion.) t WT:ITNC and modifying it to redirect to Wikipedia talk:In the news. The only difference between the two options is that one would preserve page history (1 author, 1 revision) and the other would not. Personally, I prefer the deletion option, but I'm ok with either. The former would require admin action, whereas the latter would only require Page Mover action. — Gestrid (talk) 06:18, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Average Call Hold Time[edit]

While this phrase is certainly used in calculating the amount of switching capability in a phone system, I think it's more often used to measure how long a customer must wait on hold before talking to a rep. I think a retarget is in order. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 01:16, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

  • Delete as misleading. The phrase, in plain English, means the amount of time a caller must hold on average. It does not need an explanation and is an unlikely search term. Legacypac (talk) 02:27, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete - I also don't think that it's a likely search term. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 08:29, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Person of minimal independent notability, whose existence as a redirect to the organization she was president of is actually standing in the way of a more notable person (see Atlanta blues) with a much stronger claim to WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the name.

Target makes no mention of the subject. Trackstarz is a music magazine as well as an artist on Soundcloud who has done covers of many Bruno Mars songs; hence I recommend deletion. — Quasar G. 10:45, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Keep - Trackstarz went to #56 on the UK Singles Chart, it's a perfectly valid search term.--Launchballer 16:03, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
Comment @Launchballer: despite that, the redirect is still confusing for readers as it could refer to multiple subjects, and the artist is not mentioned at Grenade (song). — Quasar G. 23:33, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

  • Disambiguation pages - can you find any valid targets other than Lego Universe and Lego Minifigures Online? Of the top 6 you've listed, only one needs to be kept, since Wikipedia will handle the alternative capitalizations automatically. For the seventh one, I suggest moving to Lego MMOG. For the last one, Lego Worlds also seems like a valid target, and I'm not familiar enough with the games to comment on whether some of the action-adventure games would be too. = Richard Cavell (talk) 17:14, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Cyclobothra elegans (disambiguation)[edit]

Cyclobothra elegans is a possible synonym for 2 cases: Calochortus coeruleus and Calochortus elegans. Cyclobothra elegans should therefore be retargeted redirect to the first with a redirect-distinguish hatnote to the second. Disambiguation is not required per WP:2DABS, and Cyclobothra elegans (disambiguation) should be deleted. (Neither should redirect to C. elegans (disambiguation) which has dozens of entries and in this case impedes navigation rather than assists it). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 06:46, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Either would be fine. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 13:05, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete Cyclobothra elegans (disambiguation). Retarget Cyclobothra elegans to Calochortus elegans with a hatnote. It's not "either would be fine" nor is it just matching the page that has elegans in the title. Cyclobothra elegans (Pursh) Benth. was published more than twenty years before Cyclobothra elegans Torr. (see dates here). Per the Principle of Priority, the name published by Torrey can not be used as a scientific name. In the extremely unlikely event that somebody is looking for Torrey's name, a hatnote will suffice. Plantdrew (talk) 16:23, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Comment - Cyclobothra elegans is an illegitimate name for Calochortus elegans, but it's been in the literature since 1857. What is Wikipedia's position on these things? Does Wikipedia include illegitimate synonyms because they are in the literature, or get rid of them because they are illegitimate? - Richard Cavell (talk) 16:48, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
There isn't any position on that, as far as I know. Redirects for synonyms are OK, but aren't usually (in the big picture) created. When synonym redirects are created, they often include illegitimate names. I don't think I've seen anything deleted on the grounds of being illegitimate (but a redirect might get retargeted on priority grounds). Plantdrew (talk) 14:32, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Disambiguate. If the Plandrew's reasoning for why one of the targets is correct but the other is not is correct, that seems too complicated for a layperson to understand, especially if both have been in use, notwithstanding any principle of priority. Redirecting readers to one or the other seems unhelpful with context that a DAB could briefly provide, which seems like a good reason to not follow 2DABS strictly in this case.---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 05:29, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

  • Disambiguate = Refine to C. elegans (disambiguation)#Order Liliales per Patar knight. Even though the principle of priority exists, neither species is most commonly referred to as cyclobothra elegans, so I agree with Patar knight that the naming situation is sufficiently nuanced to merit disambiguation.

  • Delete/Retarget per Plantdrew. I trust the expert on this, and his explanation makes sense to me. Additionally, it's concise enough to include in a hatnote so laypeople can understand if need be. -- Tavix (talk) 17:24, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Agree with Plantdew's suggestion to delete Cyclobothra elegans (disambiguation) and retarget Cyclobothra elegans to Calochortus elegans with a hatnote. older ≠ wiser 12:21, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Redirects to Wikipedia:Good articles[edit]

Previous RfDs for this redirect:

Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2017 June 9#Redirects to Wikipedia:Good articles was closed as:

Endorse deletion without prejudice to further discussion at RfD

Cunard (talk) 08:27, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

  • Delete in line with previous discussion. Deb (talk) 08:35, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
    • @Deb: Note that the previous discussion deleted them because they were cross-namespace (article → Wikipedia), the new redirects are not cross-namespace so "per previous discussion" is not relevant. Thryduulf (talk) 08:51, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
      • I understand what you mean, but I feel this discussion is a bit of a backdoor way of getting what the creator wanted (not that I doubt Cunard's motives). Deb (talk) 09:07, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Retarget to English Wikipedia#Wikiprojects, and assessments of articles' importance and quality (where the current target is transcluded from) as this is an encyclopaedic treatment of the topic and there are no competing encyclopaedic uses I can find. Thryduulf (talk) 08:51, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Somewhat dubious. I'm not out-and-out opposed to this redirecting within the article space, but how likely is it that someone typing in "Good articles" wants to go to the section of the English Wikipedia article on article assessment? A secondary concern is that I think that the English Wikipedia article is massively self-indulgent, but I could probably look past that. Lankiveil (speak to me) 09:27, 18 June 2017 (UTC).
    • Delete, after thinking on this for a couple of days, I don't see that these meet any of the criteria at WP:RPURPOSE. "Good article" is a term of art that is not widely used outside of this project, and I don't see that anyone who didn't already know about our good article programme would type it in expecting to get a section on Wikipedia quality assessments. Lankiveil (speak to me) 09:19, 19 June 2017 (UTC).
  • Weak Delete. As I mentioned in the DRV, this does solve the original problem of cross-namespace redirects, but upon further consideration, I've come to the conclusion that it solves it in the wrong way. We should not be excessively introspective. Obviously, we should have some articles about ourselves; i.e. nobody is going to suggest that Wikipedia be deleted. But, the term Good Article, as used in this context, is really a wikipedia term of art, and as such, should be discussed in wiki-space. As I mentioned in the DRV, WP:Navel-gazing talks about this. Putting it another way, if WP:X redirects to Y, the problem is not that X is in wikispace; the problem is that Y is in mainspace. -- RoySmith (talk) 11:59, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep and Retarget as per Thryduulf. While this is a term of art on Wikipedia, Wikipedia is large enough and significant enough that its major terms of art are somewhat notable -- enough for a redir, in any case. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 14:57, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the ping, but I have no strong feelings one way or another. Cheers, Jclemens (talk) 00:01, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Do not delete - After failed re-creations, somewhat unresponsive and inactive admins, multi-page deletion review, and another reincarnation, I think deleting all of the pages again would be less and less productive. If deleted, one or more of the pages can be re-created over and over. No opinion on which to target as long as all of them are retained as redirect pages to whatever target it is, mainspace or cross-namespace. However, due to WP:R#DELETE, one of which normally discourages cross-namespace targets, I guess we are left with nothing but mainspace as a chosen target. Whatever the target is, I would be pleased if all of them are "kept as is". However, I'm convinced by others that the current target may not be the best target possible. Even when not the best, not being the "best" target is not a good reason to delete them all. We can't violate WP:CRYSTAL by moving to a nonexistent topic or an article that doesn't mention "good article(s)", but we can predict that someday a movie studio can create a film called Good Articles... maybe someday. Nothing wrong with redirecting the pages to their one current target; let's treat it as stopgap until something else happens. --George Ho (talk) 00:48, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
  • keep as proposed by Thryduulf Contra Lankiveil I suspect someone typing this in _is_ looking for our good articles (either WP:GA or WP:FA or some other notion of what a good article is on Wikipedia). As such, it seems like a reasonable redirect. (so basically per DES) Hobit (talk) 22:25, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep in some way because this term as an encyclopedic topic exclusively refers to the class of Wikipedia articles. feminist 16:59, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Comment. These redirects have between them several hundred incoming links from talk pages, and the intended target for most of them is probably WP:Good articles. I don't think this target is in anyway "bad" for the general reader as it provides enough context for them to know their whereabouts, and it also contains more relevant content than is found at the proposed article target. If the redirects absolutely must stay within article namespace then at least a hatnote should be added. – Uanfala 22:46, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
    • Well, given that nothing has so far been presented that could suggest that it's a bad idea to retarget to Wikipedia:Good articles, I see no reason not to. – Uanfala 10:30, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Retarget all of them to Wikipedia:Good articles. This is useful for the reader who wants to find articles that are good, whether they mean ranked as GA via the current assessment system, or whether they mean articles that are better than average. Nyttend (talk) 23:01, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Retarget per Thryduulf, but add a redirect hatnote for that section per Nyttend. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 00:45, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Retarget all to Wikipedia:Good articles. Assuming we accept that the reader is overwhelmingly likely to want to know about "good articles on Wikipedia", it makes more sense to have an XNR pointing them to the actual list of good articles, rather than an abstracted encyclopedic description of the good article process. Deryck C. 14:50, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete. "Good articles" is not a term unique to Wikipedia, so the redirects are not currently appropriate. Oppose retargeting either: (i) to another Wikipedia-centric article; or (ii) in a manner that creates cross-namespaces redirects. WJBscribe (talk) 14:36, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

New Yorke[edit]

Delete this as unlikely misspelling; New-Yorke (with hyphen) was redirected to HP Saturn#New-Yorke per discussion — JFG talk 01:41, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

I think New Yorke is a likely misspelling for New-Yorke, and I would prefer to keep it but redirect it to HP Saturn#New-Yorke. Tea2min (talk) 09:13, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete, and delete New-Yorke too. An entirely unnotable printer, which never even made it to production. Since neither of these two redirects pointed to the HP page until the past couple of days, I don't think they're at all necessary.  — Amakuru (talk) 10:36, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Comment. At this point, I added New-Yorke to the discussion. Steel1943 (talk) 19:13, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
Good catch, Tea2min, I hadn't noticed that one. Actually, "HP New-Yorke" makes perfect sense as a likely search term for this admittedly obscure HP product; does no harm at that title. Knowing this, I would now move to delete both "New Yorke" and "New-Yorke". — JFG talk 15:50, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
Certainly not! It would be mindless to destroy carefully constructed and established infrastructure elsewhere not interfering with the restructuring of the New York disambiguation page at all. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 21:34, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep.
    • "New-Yorke" should redirect to HP Saturn#New-Yorke, because that's the proper target for it. The HP community would fiercefully disagree with a characterization of that processor (not printer #-|) as "obscure", it is well documented in the literature...
    • "New Yorke" should be considered a spelling variant of "New-Yorke" and thus be redirected to HP Saturn#New-Yorke as well.
    • However, since "New York" is such an important term and "New Yorke" could also be a misspelling of "New York", the HP Saturn article should have a hatnote pointing to New York (disambiguation).

Wikipedia:What Wikipedia Is[edit]

This is appropriate: they should be the same, and should go to something more introductory following the principle of least astonishment. I created one of those, not knowing of the others.

  • Keep or Dabify and add wiktionary, seems to refer to the term blockbuster in French cinema, [1] which the article covers a big-budget film production.

Firewoman[edit]

Would Women in firefighting be a more suitable target? feminist 15:26, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

No. A "firefighter; fireman; firewoman" is a person in a very specific job; a dispatcher, mechanic, personell supervior, &cet, &cet, ad naus who works for a fire department, a supplier of firefighting equipment, a fire marshall's office, &cet. is also "in firefighting" to a greater or lesser degree. Anmccaff (talk) 15:40, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep as is. Good question, and yet Anmccaff makes a good point about broader usage. A firewoman, -man or -person is a "firefighter" and is an important part of, but not the whole of, women in firefighting.  Paine Ellsworth  put'r there  18:25, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

  • 'Keep as is Not a common term in the Western US, but I like the target of the redirect just fine. Jclemens (talk) 20:15, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

New-York (disambiguation)[edit]

Ditto. The correctly-spelled dab page New York (disambiguation) was moved to New York; we are cleaning up useless links. The misspelling of this title is addressed at New-York — JFG talk 13:11, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

  • Comment. The reason why these three redirects with "(disambiguation)" appendage were created was that all incoming redirects to a disambiguation page should have a "shadow" redirect including the "(disambiguation)" qualifier as well - at least this is how I understood the system so far. The rationale for this is that some hatnote templates automatically append "(disambiguation)" to parameters when creating links to disambiguation pages.
To put it in other words, if we have a redirect like "New-York" to a disambiguation page like "New York", we also need a redirect named "New-York (disambiguation)". In a perfect world, the latter would point to "New-York" in order to make things easier would "New-York" be changed to point elsewhere or changed into an article later on, but since double redirects are avoided for technical reasons, we have no other option than to point it to the target of the "New-York" redirect instead, that is "New York". Basically, the redirect "New-York" can be thought of as being a disambiguation page in disguise.
If this rational still holds true, the nominated redirect should be kept, otherwise it can be deleted. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 22:57, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Good point. This would be justified if we had incoming links to the misspelled dab title New-York (disambiguation), but we don't (and rightly so): the only pages that link there are this RfD and lists of RfDs[7]. Safely delete, and keep just the misspelled New-York. — JFG talk 23:41, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
Example. Things are easier to explain using examples: We have an article about the HP Saturn microprocessor family. One of the processors has a codename "New-Yorke" (no typo), because it is the successor of another processor codenamed "Yorke" (names derived from York (slave)). So, we could argue that the "New-Yorke" redirect should point to this page. If so, we'd probably add a hatnote using the {{redir}} template. Using the syntax {{redir|New-Yorke}} this hatnote would display:
"New-Yorke" redirects here. For other uses, see New-Yorke (disambiguation).
That is, it would automatically point to "New-Yorke (disambiguation)", not "New York (disambiguation)" or "New York".
--Matthiaspaul (talk) 23:35, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
Oh now I see why we have "New-Yorke" and not "New-Yorki" or "New-Yorku": it's not a misspelling, it's the HP processor! Let's redirect there, case closed. No other use, no hatnote. — JFG talk 23:44, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
 Done, and pushed New Yorke for deletion as unlikely misspelling. — JFG talk 01:43, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
Well, that was just an example because it nicely illustrated the rationale behind the generic principle for using those "(disambiguation)" appendages. Of course, I thought of your suggested solution as well when I created those redirects originally. However, there were two reasons why I decided against it eventually:
1) Given that "New Yorke" could well be a spelling variant of / typo for "New York", the hatnote on the "HP Saturn" page would still be needed, in particular because "New York" in general is much more important than this processor.
2) Since people may not know the proper spelling of the processor's codename, many would arrive at the "New York" disambiguation page (where we should have an entry for "HP New-Yorke". If so, "New-Yorke" would have to redirect to the disambiguation page "New York" as we typically do for such minor spelling variants.
--Matthiaspaul (talk) 09:20, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
Wasn't aware of the HP New-Yorke redirect, I believe that's the best title for this, and we should remove the bare "New Yorke" and "New-Yorke". In my opinion the processor wouldn't fit in the New York dab page because it's a WP:PTM and because it was never even produced or marketed under that name. — JFG talk 15:55, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Historians sometimes use inexact definition for historical eras, such as the "long 19th century" which extends from 1789 (French revolution) to 1914 (World War 1).

Walter J. Haas[edit]

Suggest deletion, as it redirects Walter J. Haas to his father Walter A. Haas Jr., and not to an entry about himself. This for example creates (a confusing) circular references in Walter A. Haas Jr. אבגמד (talk) 13:00, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Dried citrus peel[edit]

I think this redirect can be misleading. Many dishes utilize dried citrus peel and Zest (ingredient) can also be dry. Classicwiki (talk) (ping me) 00:00, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:01, 29 June 2017 (UTC) updated 16:03, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Comment from the page creator No objection to recreation as a disambiguation or retargeting. I'm satisfied either way. --Talitiainen (talk) 23:35, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. Chenpi is the only topic with an article that is literally a "dried citrus peel" and nothing else. Disambiguation is useful when the reader may be looking for information that is spread over multiple pages. But in the case of "dried citrus peel" we simply have no information about anything other than chenpi. If someone creates an article of a type of dried citrus peel in a different cuisine we can create a set index in the spirit of stuffed flatbread, but until then the current target is correct. (Full disclosure: my ancestors come from the main chenpi-producing region. Deryck C. 14:26, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

July 18[edit]

Harry Shipp Truman[edit]

According to our article, the "S" is an honorary initial, but has no meaning in itself. Lordtobi (✉) 21:18, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Were any of these notably used in news articles? I just want to check if these weren't WP:MADEUP. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:30, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep - Apparently, these inaccurate middle names have received significant enough historical coverage, with the U.S. National Archives organization even reporting on it.

CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 03:59, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep - I agree with the above. The popularity and notability of these misconceptions certainly justifies a redirect. --George AKA Caliburn · (Talk · Contribs · CentralAuth · Log) 09:25, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Mary Jane was Truman's sister, but there is no information on her apart from her birth and death years. We don't keep a redirect on his borther John Vivian Truman. Lordtobi (✉) 21:17, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Mr. Citizen[edit]

"Mr. Citizen" appears to be a book about Truman, but the name does not appear anywhere in the article. I also don't see why should be primary over an equally minor TV series (see target's hatnote). Lordtobi (✉) 21:15, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

It's been five years since I created this redirect, and don't even remember it, so if there's another article with that name, or somebody wants to creates to create or rename one, I have no objection to the change. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 00:07, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Comment - Mr. Citizen isn't just a book about Truman. It's something that he, himself, wrote (you can see some background here, and so this may be a reasonable enough case of redirecting an author's work to the author's own Wiki page. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 04:03, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

ReConstruct: Restoring Homes. Renewing Hope[edit]

Delete: The redirect originally was an article presumably about a volunteer organization. The only content stated, "ReConstruct equips and prepares students and adults for a lifetime of mission service by providing opportunities to assist low-income individuals with home repair. Each year hundreds of students reroof and repaint houses through ReConstruct." Redirect was created on 11:40, 3 January 2006 by User:Reconstruct. This edit by User:Reconstruct is the only edit performed by that user. One month later an IP account redirected to the Reconstruction page, currently a disambiguation page. By 2008 the page was redirected to Reconstruction Era, an article entirely unrelated to original content. I don't see possibility of salvaging original content for separate article.

Artists who have been involved in a feud with Drake[edit]

This is a redirect to a section of the Drake (musician) article that no longer exists (it seems controversies is the new section title). I'm not sure how to classify this, my best guess is it was a redirect set up for a specific purpose (i.e. someone wanted to wikilink along the lines of "See Artists who have been involved in a feud with Drake"). It has no incoming links and seems rather implausible to be typed in. menaechmi (talk) 16:02, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

  • Delete not a potential article title and not found at the target. Legacypac (talk) 10:31, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

1901 Census of the North West Frontier Province[edit]

This was a poor closure at AfD. The closer - Kharkiv07 - has not responded to my query. Consensus was clearly favouring a delete and, indeed, that is what has happened to numerous similar articles relating to the Raj era censuses in India. Pakistan did not even exist in 1901. - Sitush (talk) 12:49, 17 July 2017 (UTC) Sitush (talk) 12:49, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

  • Delete. I agree that was a bad AFD close, and I see no consensus to redirect to Census in Pakistan. And the very good reason not to do so, as pointed out by Sitush, is that the 1901 Census of the North West Frontier Province was not a census of Pakistan. Pakistan indeed did not exist at the time, and there is no mention of any North West Frontier Province censuses in the Census in Pakistan article. If we had any content anywhere that dealt with those censuses then a redirect to that would make sense, but if we have no coverage of them then such a redirect has no purpose.

Isotta Fraschin L.121 R.C.40[edit]

Squint eyed Southerner[edit]

The article mentions no such creature, no sources. Kleuske (talk) 19:18, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

It comes from JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy. The name was given by the residents of the Shire to the orc-men sent there by Saruman to industrialise Sandyman's mill. In the Fellowship of the Ring, Butterbur also refers to a Squint at the Prancing Pony in Bree. See Half-orc#Tolkien's half-orcs. Osama57 (talk) 20:15, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Christ's sake[edit]

Shouldn't these target the same place? Oiyarbepsy (talk) 23:59, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

  • This is a bit of a weird one. According to the principles at WP:DETERMINEPRIMARY, I would argue that the expression "(for) Christ's sake(s)" is primary over either the band or the film that have been linked. It's in far more common usage in more groups than either other subject. That said, it's clearly not sufficiently notable to have its own article and would ordinarily be a good candidate for redirection. I suggest that both of the above redirects retarget to Christ's sake (disambiguation) which would list the blasphemy, the band and the film. Hatnotes for the articles. Triptothecottage (talk) 01:38, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Comment. I'm ok with the proposed DAB. The curse is obviously the common meaning, and the band named themselves after the curse for shock value. Legacypac (talk) 01:42, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Please note, per WP:MALPLACED, that if a disambiguation page is made, it will need to be at Christ's sake. bd2412 T 01:44, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Redirect both to Christ's SakeKeep Christ's Sake as primary, which has a hatnote to the film with "For" in it, and if you're really concerned about the original phrase, then add wiktionary boxes on both. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:45, 16 July 2017 (UTC) updated 03:14, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Redirect all to Blasphemy, "Christ's sakes", "Christ's sake" and "Christ's Sake" should all redirect to Blasphemy, and then Christ's Sake (the band) should be moved to "Christ's Sake (band)". –Davey2010Talk 16:54, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
That would work if the primary topic is that article, but it isn't even used as a primary topic example on the Blasphemy page, so Wikipedia favors pointing to subjects that have an article first. If you want to keep Sakes to the Blasphemy page, that would be fine too, since that isn't the exact name of the band and would favor keeping the phrase. An argument can also be made to redirect to Profanity. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:13, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
By the way, "chrissake" doesn't have an entry, although it is mentioned as quotes in multiple articles, and Jesus H. Christ has its own article. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:19, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Cathee[edit]

  • Delete as another Neelix redirect. We speedy deleted hundreds of first name redirects just like this during the big cleanup. They just make search results harder to use. Instead of getting directly to the target or a list of similar targets when you type the first name this forces you to a particular model from the 60/70's via the redirect. It's not helpful. Legacypac (talk) 01:38, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

So, with no one to track and/or maintain them, I can no longer speak to the usefulness of any of these Twitter redirects.  Paine Ellsworth  put'r there  10:22, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete. Hey Paine, caught your paper trail (I really need to disable my notifications to my email). Anyways, I agree with the nominative since "Twitter" is an unclear disambiguator at this time, and the target article is not a Twitter account. I created the respective category for Twitter usernames, but since "@midnight (Twitter)" is not the target article's Twitter hashtag (including the "(Twitter)"), it could potentially be considered misleading as a redirect. Cheers! Steel1943 (talk) 22:29, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
    • I should probably clarify: If the subject at the title @midnight represented a different subject than what the Twitter username "@midnight" represents (like if the nominated redirect targeted "Luxury Berg Enterprises", I could see a need for this redirect to exist. However, at the present time, unless the aforementioned situation exists for at least one such other {{R from Twitter username}} redirect, I stand by this. (However, if I am proven otherwise during the course of this discussion, consider my "delete" withdrawn.) Steel1943 (talk) 22:47, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Mini-Segway[edit]

Originally a PROD but it is a redirect so ... This is not the name of a product by Segway Inc. and Segway is a registered trademark of the company. As such I believe that it should be deleted. Segway do have a product called the Segway miniPro, but that is different. Mini Segway is already marked for deletion for the same reason. PRehse (talk) 10:50, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

  • Keep or Find better redirect People are looking for the minipro, or any kind of smaller scaled version of a Segway. What would be better is an article section detailing the miniPro like with the Segway PT. But news articles are comparing them to hoverboards so this may be where it will go until it is made clearer.

  • Probably the best answer then is to change the redirect for these to point to Segway Inc. (where the Segway miniPRO is mentioned), or we delete it. What we shouldn't do is misuse the the trademark as a generic term for hoverboard (as is is being used currently) especially not with a capital S (as is the case with these redirects). PeterEastern (talk) 05:24, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Bâreqath[edit]

This redirect appears to be incorrect. I'm finding very little information on this word, but what I have found suggest that it actually means emerald [16], while carbuncle usually refers to garnets. Some help from someone knowledgeable in Hebrew or the Old Testament would be helpful here. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 13:03, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

  • From the linked text it appears that there isn't scholarly consensus on the exact meaning of the word. If it's not completely known which gemstone it referred to then we shouldn't redirect it to any. List of precious stones in the Bible could be expanded with relevant content (particularly the section on emeralds, which already discusses what looks like the root from which bareqath has been derived), but until that happens I don't see the point of having a redirect. – Uanfala 13:37, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Alphabetti Spaghetti![edit]

Created as a redirect to Polymorph (Red Dwarf episode) as Alphabetti Spaghetti was referenced in that episode.

An Alphabetti Spaghetti redirect already existed- and pointed towards Alphabet pasta- so having this one do something different (while appearing separately in the drop-down search list) is likely to confuse those who don't get it or who click on the wrong option.

I'm opposed to this on principle; if we did this thing for every pop culture reference, it would vastly increase the amount of navigational clutter.

I've changed it to redirect to Alphabet pasta as with the other one, but this redirect still appears in the list and serves no practical purpose; I'd rather it was removed. Ubcule (talk) 12:46, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Specia[edit]

I'd assume this comes from "special needs" or something similar, but is this term ever used?

None of the topics are really covered on wikipedia, so that leaves Species as a target for a rare {{R from typo}} (of sorts), but this will only obscure the fact that we don't have content on the other (possibly encyclopedic) topics. – Uanfala 22:37, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Lonesome Dove (TV series)[edit]

Note: Not requesting that this redirect be deleted. There is disagreement as to what should be the target of this redirect. Now that Lonesome Dove: The Series is an article, I feel that this redirect is ambiguous as to whether it is meant to target Lonesome Dove: The Series or Lonesome Dove (miniseries), and so should instead target the "effective" disambiguation page Lonesome Dove series (which includes links to both articles) instead. Another editor feels this redirect should target Lonesome Dove (miniseries), despite the fact that WP:NCTV is clear that "TV series" and "miniseries" are different disambiguation terms. I'd like the community to look at this one and help decide the correct course of action here. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:14, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

  • The fact that this redirect receives a fair amount of pageviews (8 a day for the past month) makes it eligible for being turned into a soft redirect to wiktionary. However, given that we have two articles with content relevant to specific technical uses of the word, readers should have an easy way of arriving there. To an extent, this is achieved by the search results, but I believe disambiguation to be a better solution. – Uanfala 19:32, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

  • Delete. A disambiguation page wouldn't look like anything, because there's nothing to disambiguate. —Xezbeth (talk) 18:19, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

    • The two legal terms appear to be also used outside of the context of the fixed phrases [20] [21], so they aren't quite partial title matches. There was a discussion last year about the advantages of including this kind of entries. – Uanfala 21:55, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep. The current target seems to be the primary meaning of the term from my search, and there's a hatnote in place for the other article. -- Tavix (talk) 21:47, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
    The primary meaning of "inchoate" or simply where that word shows up frequently? This is an important distinction. --BDD (talk) 14:16, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
    The primary encyclopedic content for "inchoate", which I feel is an even more important distinction. If someone were to search for "inchoate" on Wikipedia, what would they be looking for? They might mistakenly think that Wikipedia is a dictionary and be disappointed by not getting the definition of the word. However, apart from that, I believe that "inchoate offense" would be the most relevant and primary content that Wikipedia has to offer. I second Angus's observation that it's not the only meaning of the term, and a hatnote is in place to serve those looking for the other relevant topic. That being said, I am also amenable to a disambiguation. -- Tavix (talk) 14:53, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
    I'm not seeing this argument, and as far as I know we've always taken the opposite position: that we don't know why people are searching for a word, and therefore we don't force them to one usage of a word if we do not cover the word itself or other potential usage. I note that in legal Latinate locutions "inchoate" is used in a general sense for anything preparatory, but in any case we do not want to have people typing the word into Google and then essentially informing them that it only had to do with crime, when really it doesn't have anything in particular yo do with crime or even legal matters. Mangoe (talk) 13:51, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

    • I did a quick Google search and couldn't find any meaningful results, but didn't think of checking the talk page. I guess the redirect should be kept, even if the article doesn't mention the name anymore. --Lewis Hulbert (talk) 09:17, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
  • There's the complicating factor of the existence of an article for which the term is a spelling variant (Mohammed Aziz), and two similarly named ones: Mohammad Azizi and Muhammad Aziz Khan (the last might not be relevant, as the person appears to be known as Aziz Khan). – Uanfala 21:44, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Disambiguate Seems plausible for both Mohammed Aziz and Mohamad Aziz. Jackson could be included if relevant information is added to his article. Is there a standard practice for naming such human-name disambiguation articles—namely, do we use a default spelling of "Muhammad"? I doubt it, though in this case, it seems like anything could work. --BDD (talk) 14:20, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Nintendo unlikely search redirects[edit]

Delete as unlikely searches, most of which also seem to be vandalism. Lordtobi (✉) 21:25, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

  • Delete Nintendo Co. Ltd. - 任天堂株式会社, mixed script redirects are implausible. Retarget Nintendon't to Sega Genesis, it's a notable advertising campaign discussed therein. Keep Nintendoes as {{R from plural}}. Nintendo's consoles, especially their early ones, can simply be referred to as "Nintendoes". Most of the rest seem like harmless typos. A couple of these I could see as implausible, such as Nintendon and Nintendou, but these seem pretty WP:CHEAP to me. No opinion on the subsidiaries. -- Tavix (talk) 23:11, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep Nimtendo; the keys are adjacent on a QWERTY keyboard, so the typo's easy. Also, as the letters are of similar shape, when you look over something you've typed, you might not notice it as easily as if you typed "Nibtendo" or "Nijtendo". Nyttend backup (talk) 16:51, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep "Nimtendo" since it's a plausible mispelling, with "Nintendoh" and "Nintendou" being reasonably helpful since both are phonetically the same as the actual name. I've no preference for the other ones. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 21:52, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Obituary[edit]

This was previously redirected to Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a blog, web hosting service, social networking service, or memorial site (WP:NOTMEMORIAL). However, it was changed to WP:Deceased Wikipedians in 2008; the last edit prior to the nomination was... 2008. I used the "What links here" tool and found that many user talk pages use the "WP:Obituary" to refer to the previous target, WP:NOTMEMORIAL. No other pages refer it to the current target, deceased Wikipedians. Also, I notice that Wikipedia:OBITUARY was created in 2014, yet it was used just once to refer it to WP:NOTMEMORIAL (implicitly). Therefore, I propose either retargeting both to WP:NOTMEMORIAL, or disambiguate one with at least two individual pages and retarget two others to the dabpage. George Ho (talk) 15:58, 18 June 2017 (UTC); amended, 06:45, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

I added just "WP:OBIT", which is used in different pages to refer to either one, usually the NOTMEMORIAL. All others look too different, and they are not named either "Obituary" or "OBIT". Better to treat them individually, Piotrus, than to bundle all others into here, especially when each of them may have different meanings but somewhat different from "OBIT(UARY)".

Haitian Standard French[edit]

Delete. Resulted from a controversial page move without discussion (Dinglebat500, 319 edits; currently blocked) to a term that is "nonexistent" describing "Haitian French"; unlike the "standard Haitian Creole (which does). This move was swiftly overturned by editors. "Standard French" (from France) is taught in school as well as spoken in Haiti. A variety while spoken, there is no official standard to be able to bare such a title. There are no sources to provide evidence for this claim. According to History, Society and Variation: In Honor of Albert Valdman (Valdman Albert, J; Clements Clancy), there is even a divided consensus on whether or not Haitian French even exists in Haiti. (It does however) and it ranges differently among its speakers. So a Haitian "Standard" French is impossible to determine and such terminology is unfounded. Opposing parties please provide where this term is in usage. For the sake of WP:CONSISTENCY, we do not have a: Swiss Standard French, Belgian Standard French, Quebec Standard French, Louisiana Standard French, Aostan Standard French, and Meridional Standard French as redirects either. Thank you for your consideration. Savvyjack23 (talk) 19:47, 17 June 2017 (UTC) To add: A side-by-side comparison between "Haitian French" and "Haitian Standard French" from 1 July 2015 - present virtually shows no hits for the latter, except during the time of creation and redirect activity (from edits and views from cached). [26] Savvyjack23 (talk) 20:38, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

  • Delete. I could say "no harm done" but, besides being, as the nominator points out, an inappropriate move to begin with, there is no reason to expect anyone ever to search on this term. Based on a Google search for "haitian standard french", the only place where this term appears in coherent text, besides Wikipedia mirrors, is https://books.google.com/books?id=dXd6zOtliZsC&pg=PA45&lpg=PA45&dq=%22haitian+standard+french%22+-%22is+the+variety+of+french+spoken+in+haiti%22&source=bl&ots=kXC3982aHp&sig=VJ0FzlxZiyQ6PKRuRZlzB2OeUfI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi49Jfp1sXUAhVOET4KHQBEDZ0Q6AEIKjAA#v=onepage&q=%22haitian%20standard%20french%22%20-%22is%20the%20variety%20of%20french%20spoken%20in%20haiti%22&f=false a single book] (and a couple of sources quoting from that source) that uses it a single time, in passing, in a manner that suggests that the author was merely trying to emphasize that French in Haiti is distinct from Creole without digressing from the main point of the sentence. Beside, if a term to this effect were in use, it would more likely be "standard Haitian French" (for which Google shows virtually no evidence anyway). Largoplazo (talk) 20:15, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep. I see it as an analogue to "X Standard English" where X would be the country, which is a commonly used kind of phrase (e.g. [27]). As far as I can see, it does get use in academic texts, [28][29][30] and is distinct from Creole. This redirect doesn't mean that Haitian French is Standard French as spoken in France, but that Haitian French is a French language which has some level of standardization in Haiti.---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 21:40, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Comment: It is a virtually unsearched term (0 results before creation), so what purpose would it serve? Purpose of a redirect is to aid in searched terms, not necessarily create correct ones. Source [4] states "Haitian Standard French and Creole." --pertaining to both Standard French and Standard Creole that is "Haitian." It is in list form and preceding it describes 'Greek" and "Arabic" varieties. In source [5], albeit found in 2 pages, there is not a preview; we do not know of the context it is written. This term is neither searched nor correct. Savvyjack23 (talk) 22:17, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
    • Well if page views before creation was a criteria for having redirects, then all of them would have to be deleted. It's impossible (at least without looking at server logs) to see what people are searching for when the page that would track that doesn't exist. Since source 4 refers to as you say, "Standard French...that is Haitian", it seems reasonable to have a redirect from the naturally constructed "Haitian Standard French" which the source uses. You can find the text in a Google Books search without navigating to the page [31], but it says "ln the second place — perhaps exemplified by Haitian Standard French and Haitian creole", which is even more unambiguous than Source 4's phrasing that "Haitian Standard French" is a thing. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 22:56, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep per Patar Knight, whose sources have shown that this term gets used by linguisticians in discussions of the Haitian French dialect continuum to refer to the standard French taught in Haitian schools. This redirect might raise eyebrows to a Haitian reader but makes sense to a linguistician coming from an English point of view, as an analogy to Scottish Standard English, Standard Singaporean Mandarin etc. Deryck C. 10:35, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep per Patar knigts's findings. Regardless of whether the term applies to some hypothetical standard Haitian French, or the Haitian variety of Standard French, it takes readers to the one article where they'll find what they're looking for. – Uanfala 13:14, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

  • Comment That it has a hatnote right away about "eThekwini" (lower-case first letter, upper-case second letter) suggests this is a useful search term. Having EThekwini metro area or EThekwini municipality or EThekwini region might help. What I haven't seen is whether those in the Durban area make a difference between referering to Durban and Ethekwini. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:22, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Comment Note also that the page on the Municipality was at eThekwini until 11/2014 before it was moved to eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality and the redirect at ethekwini has been changed and reverted. I see no prior discussion of this issue on the talk pages. MB 21:58, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Gene Hernandez[edit]

Delete as a WP:PTM of his birth name, "Peter Gene Hernandez". I can't find any sources calling him this, making it obscure. -- Tavix (talk) 15:57, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Middle+Last should only be used when it's an official stage name or common name. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:12, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Catp[edit]

Delete Just like the much more numerous and now deleted pagename plus m and pagename plus n redirects created via the popular redlinks query, there was a small window of pagename plus p redirects created. These should all be deleted as well. UnitedStatesian (talk) 14:13, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

  • Keep didp; it's just a decapitalised form of DIDP, whose target article specifies that the "p" is indeed part of it. It's only a redirect to DID because it was later retargeted. No opinion on the others. Nyttend (talk) 22:03, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Also keep catp for the same reason. Uncertain on XMLp and IBMp (it seems odd to mix capitalisation like that) and tending toward keep for Woop, as it has the form of the singular of Whoops. This nomination's rationale is only applicable to titles that make sense for the same purpose if you drop the concluding "p", and when we're talking redirects to "Whoops", "Woop" makes a lot more sense than "Woo" does. Nyttend (talk) 22:12, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep Woop as that is covered by the dab page. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 05:29, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
  • With the exception of Woop, these redirects are capitalisation variants of their targets (or things mentioned on the targets), and those that are not can be retargeted to articles of which they are such variants (like DNAP, FOX proteins etc.). The question is then essentially about whether these (mis)capitalisations should be kept. – Uanfala 09:02, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
    • To unpack my previous comment a little bit, I see three groups of redirects here:
      • Redirects from a lower-case title to an all-caps one. These are plausible and shouldn't be deleted. The actions I recommenda are: keeping Catp, and retargeting Didp and Foxp back to their previous targets DIDP and FOX proteins (to match FOXP). Why the latter two had been pointed to their present targets I will never know.
      • Redirects from a mixed capitalisation to an upper-caps title. These aren't plausible as misspellings and should only be kept if it's shown that their targets are referred to using the mixed capitalisation variant. A cursory web search didn't reveal any leads in that direction.
      • Woop. This is the apple among the oranges, and it should be turned into a disambiguation page separate from Whoop as the two terms refer to distinct sets of topics. Draft is available below the redirect. – Uanfala 18:33, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete Foxp as it is unclear why it was created or what it is supposed to represent. Currently it looks like a poor spelling of Fox - we expect Wikipedia visitors to be literate. William Harris • (talk) • 22:42, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep - Both 'didp' and 'catp' are reasonable enough. Not sure about the others. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 21:56, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Americna Airlines[edit]

Delete Unlikely typo. How do I know? It is the only "Americna" redirect. UnitedStatesian (talk) 12:09, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

  • Keep on the grounds that the typo has been done on the internet - Swapping two letters isn't unlikely. (I do wish I remember which website/page I saw which inspired me to create that redirect) WhisperToMe (talk) 12:55, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep - it's an entirely plausible typo which only has one possible target. - Richard Cavell (talk) 13:29, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Comment it initially got around 15-30 searches a month in 2015 and part of 2016 but dropped to under 5 per month in 2017. Is that enough to be useful? [32] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:13, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete. It might be a typo of borderline plausibility, but the views it gets are likely attributable to it being the only redirect that features this particular misspelling. It shows up at the top in the search box drop-down suggestions whenever a user makes this typo when searching for anything "American", and so all it does is add confusion. – Uanfala 11:22, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Another redirect option is Design#Design and art. But it isn't specific to the leading position of an art director. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:37, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Five Satans[edit]

May be a plausible mis-spelling but seems offensive PRehse (talk) 08:53, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Sure but how does that reflect its power as a search term for the current target or even as a general search term.PRehse (talk) 16:16, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete those views are just background noise. Legacypac (talk) 22:37, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Comment Certainly this should not redirect to The Five Satins. Is it a plausible misspelling? Dubious; in any case, I don't think the The Five Satins would appreciate the redirect. I changed the target to Watcher (angel)#Five Satans.
    A little history: In 2004, an editor created a stub for each of five "fallen angels" mentioned in certain passages of the Book of Enoch (example). A few months later I consolidated those into a single article, Five Satans. In 2009, another editor converted the article to a redirect, since the phrase "Five Satans" isn't explicitly used in an English translation he consulted. However, "Five Satans" is a term of convenience used in secondary and tertiary sources that predate the Wikipedia articles (e.g., 1, 2, 3) The new target anchors to a list of these "Satans" in the Watcher (angel) article. —Ringbang (talk) 23:12, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep as retargeted by Ringbang. Mentioned at target, and with a significant editing history. – Uanfala 13:00, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Hinduism redirects[edit]

Rest of the list (113 redirects)
Discussion[edit]

This is a follow-up to Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 March 18#Hinduism in Djibouti. I went through and identified all "Hinduism in X" redirects in which the target doesn't mention Hinduism in the given country and I couldn't find a suitable target. As such, these are misleading as someone searching using these terms won't learn anything about the subject. (raw list available on talk page) -- Tavix (talk) 18:06, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

  • Support all. I think it's great that you did this work. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:23, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep/Refine all as long as some sort of religious breakdown is mentioned in the target article. Unlike a lot of redirects, where the absence of the specific term in the target article means a reader learns nothing, the absence of any specific mention of Hinduism does impart information as long as there is a religious breakdown. If say Hinduism is not mentioned but "Other religions" or equivalents have percentage points in a religious breakdown, then the reader knows that Hinduism will not be higher than that percentage. However the redirects should be refined to the demographics/religion section in articles where they are not. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 03:43, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep the hinduism in Iceland redirect as I added information about that in this edit. Abstain or Neutral for the rest of the redirects.--Snaevar (talk) 09:34, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
Thanks, I'll withdraw that one. This is a perfect example of why deletion is beneficial. If these redirects are red, it'd encourage people to add information on Hinduism in that particular country instead of assuming that information exists. -- Tavix (talk) 14:23, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep and unbundle into smaller groups. Per Patar Knight, most of these should be kept, refined or retargetted rather than deleted but there are too many to reasonably investigate individually. Taking the first one I selected at random, Hinduism in Benin, the reader would be better served by landing at Hinduism in Africa#West Africa than deletion, even though Hinduism in Benin is not explicitly mentioned there is relevant information there. Thryduulf (talk) 10:14, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
Hinduism in Africa#West Africa has the same problem as the current target! Some searching for Hinduism in Benin will learn nothing about Hinduism in Benin no matter where you put this redirect, so deletion is the only logical choice. -- Tavix (talk) 14:23, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
(edit conflict) That's not true, they will learn that Hinduism is not significant in the region and that it's essentially only a few immigrants who subscribe to the faith. If there isn't anything to say about it we should tell people that, which that article does, rather than a redlink which would encourage the creation of an article about something that isn't notable while not giving anybody any information at all. Thryduulf (talk) 14:37, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
Sure, but the redirect is Hinduism in Benin, not Hinduism in West Africa. It's misleading to our readers to redirect them to a place that does not discuss Hinduism in Benin, and it's misleading for you to assume that little blurb of information applies to Benin. -- Tavix (talk) 14:46, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
Benin is unquestionably in West Africa, why would it not apply to Benin? Thryduulf (talk) 15:22, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
Benin may be in West Africa, but Benin isn't necessarily representative of West Africa as a whole. We shouldn't assume it applies unless we have actual information on Hinduism in Benin, as the redirect implies. -- Tavix (talk) 15:24, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Refine all to specific religious sections for the nation's articles. Delete any where not mentioned (e.g. Religion in Burkina Faso) or notable. For example, Hinudism in Hawaii, there's only a single footnote that it is grouped among Other religions, and it is in the table. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:09, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
@AngusWOOF: Hawaii is the only one that has Hinduism mentioned in a footnote. Hinduism isn't mentioned in any of the others. Since you say "delete any where not mentioned", would it be fair to interpret your !vote as "delete all except Hawaii"? -- Tavix (talk) 22:22, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
I'd even say to delete Hinduism in Hawaii given that it isn't even given a sentence besides what's in a table. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:48, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
I'm just concerned there will be a precedent of (group) in (region) where the only mention is in the table itself. Like children in (locale), women in (locale). AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:24, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
The only concern at hand is this group of redirects. The bottom line is if there's discussion about a group within a country, then it's a cromulent redirect. For every redirect listed in this discussion, someone will learn absolutely nothing about Hinduism in the given country, so we shouldn't mislead our readers into thinking we have content where there isn't any. -- Tavix (talk) 02:32, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

  • Comment (with the disclaimer that I have already voted "delete"). It is true that a reader searching for Hinduism in Ascension Island will arrive at an article that they can read and that will ultimately give enough irrelevant information for them to conclude that there's likely no such thing as Hinduism in Ascension Island. But the same conclusion can be reached, much more straightforwardly, by the simple observation of the absence of relevant articles in the search results, which is what would happen if these redirects get deleted. And if it's really deemed sensible to keep them, then it would be just as sensible to start creating redirects for all the conceivable things that are absent from the targets. Think of Sea cliffs on Jupiter, Penguins in Quebec, Raccoons in London and an innumerable number of combinations. – Uanfala 20:52, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Refine all some of the countries listed do indeed have a Hindu presence. I have just added a small segment to Religion in Taiwan about the small Hindu presence there. There is evidence to suggest a small Hindu population in East Timor, indeed Commons has photos of a Balinese-style temple in Dili. Alas, there's no text in English I can find about the community, only a Facebook post in Portugese. There was even an Indian diaspora in Somalia, which no longer exists. --RaviC (talk) 23:47, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

  • Keep. When the new 600 AM in Montreal gets an article then this can be easily redirected there. 600 AM Montreal currently redirects to CINW. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 05:43, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Dabify could refer to AM or FM stations equally. Although the AM and FM version seem to be sister stations so maybe an article can be created with a hatnote to the old FM station. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:43, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Dabify per Angus, draft available below the redirect. It could be argued that the present target is at the moment the primary topic, but this seems set to change with time, and for such a small issue I think it's better to get straight away to the expected long-term solution rather than leave it to be revisited in the future. – Uanfala 11:15, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

America-Freedom to Fascism[edit]

(eubot list 11). Generally I would keep these as {{R from other punctuation}} (not {{R from diacritics}} of course) but I am just doubting if the straight hyphen in "America-Freedom" may make this a bit WP:RFD#D2 confusing. Probably all right, with the rcat, but I wonder if America-Freedom may mean something different than a book title. It's probably OK. Si Trew (talk) 10:40, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

  • keep as a reasonable {{R from modification}}. Substituting a colon for a hyphen (with or without spaces) is far from uncommon, especially in environments were colons cause problems. Thryduulf (talk) 14:54, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete most, see below I don't see any news searches that use the dash or hyphen like that. And a general search will get to the book using the colon. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:39, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Relisting comment: The discussion so far has been whether or not using a hyphen or dash is appropriate here. Since that would apply to several other redirects to the target, I'm including them for completeness.

  • Weak Keep - Swapping out a colon for either dash or hyphen seems plausible enough, I suppose, even though the utility of these is probably marginal. I'm inclined to just leave them alone. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 03:31, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
  • I see that more variants have been added to the RFD, so I will update my stance on this. The dashes and hyphens are not used in the news articles or websites, not even Japanese-styled titles like America ~Freedom to Facism~, which would definitely encourage using the dash/hyphen. They almost all use the colon. Some do not include the colon, and there was a foreign language site that used ellipses instead. So I would recommend:
    • Deleting the dashes and hyphens where there are no spaces between America and Freedom like America-Freedom, America-From Freedom
    • Delete double dashes, e.g. "America--Freedom", "America -- Freedom".
    • Delete ALL CAPS variants. This isn't helpful, otherwise you're setting a precedent to redirect every title in Wikipedia from all caps.
    • Keep single dash or single hyphen or ndash as long as there's a space between America and Freedom. This should satisfy those who are just searching by the cover title which displays no punctuation. Keep in mind that those who are looking up the title by search will receive options with the real title by then. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:37, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete per Ivanvector. -- Tavix (talk) 15:11, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Since more were added, delete all, same rationale as earlier. None have any significant activity: none have more than 1 hit in the last 30 days, most 0, one just gave an API error. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:29, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete most per AngusWOOF. PCN02WPS 21:41, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Comment - I'd rather that these be broken up now given the differences. Some are far more plausible than others. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 17:28, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
  • delete all. Finding articles despite some variation on punctuation or dashes is the obvious work for a search engine. We do not need to create every possible remotely plausible variation. This redirect have the exact opposite effect of the intention of having redirects. Redirects should help readers find the right page, instead if I type "america freedom fascism" in the search box I get 10 suggestions, all of them some of these redirects. So we are telling readers that we have tens of pages with similar names, which should they try? Then when they try one and another the pages are... the same? That is confusing... Also, this is taking up space in the search suggestions, thus taking away the chance for the reader to find other pages with similar words in the title. - Nabla (talk) 14:02, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
PS this is what the search page look like when I serach for "america freedom fascism". How can this be helpful in anyway?

Nabla, you're seeing these bizarre results only because these redirects are all RfD-tagged now and the search engine treats them as normal pages. – Uanfala 19:51, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
Maybe, but it still goes to show that the search engine does not need help with the punctuation. And readers do not either (if they do they need to learn something much more basic than what "america--freedom:fascism" is - Nabla (talk) 23:27, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
Hmmm... wait... So we write a all bunch of variations, in order to help searching the right page, but then we instruct the search engine to ignore the variations? - Nabla (talk) 23:38, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete all per Nabla. If any are kept (and I can see there might be reasons for this to happen only for the spaced hyphen/dash ones), then they should probably be marked at least as {{R unprintworthy}}. – Uanfala 16:25, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

  • Keep. If used at all (even in sources of questionable reliability) then it is a term that readers are likely to search for on wikipedia after encountering it in the wild. Concerns about its status could always be reflected in tagging the redirect as an {{R from incorrect name}}. – Uanfala 16:08, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Template:Cc-by-sa[edit]

Potentially inaccurate. There are many CC-BY-SA licenses ({{Cc-by-sa-2.0}}, {{Cc-by-sa-3.0}}, {{Cc-by-sa-4.0}}). By using this redirect, an editor may accidentally assign version number 1, the least developed version, as the appropriate free license when they really intended to mark the image as free under a different license. This should ideally be deprecated and turned into an error message that encourages use of one of the other templates. Note that all existing transclusions must be migrated over to {{Cc-by-sa-1.0}} before converting this. ~ Rob13Talk 00:43, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

  • Keep. Unless and until the nearly 500 transclusions (and any other links from file description pages and policies) are bypassed (and consensus should be sought for this before doing so) this needs to stay as it is. After that nominate it again and I'll consider other factors. Thryduulf (talk) 09:20, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
  • @BU Rob13 and Thryduulf: Added four more very similar redirects to this nomination. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 06:16, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
    • @Godsy: my above comment holds exactly the same for these redirects as well, i.e. keep until all transclusions and references in policy, etc. have been updated by consensus. Thryduulf (talk) 10:07, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
      • @Thryduulf: I don't believe you're familiar with how things typically work surrounding template deletions/merges/etc. No-one is ever supposed to bypass template redirects, merge templates, etc. until there is consensus to do so. That consensus is typically developed at TfD. Here, it's being developed at RfD since these are redirects. In other words, this is the normal sort of venue for the consensus discussion you're asking for. The reason we do this is to avoid influencing the XfD process (e.g. Delete: No transclusions anyway, might as well). I personally volunteer to handle bypassing these redirects once consensus is developed here to do so, and I'll do it before the redirects are deleted. It's a very easy task with AWB. There's no other venue particularly suited for such a discussion. ~ Rob13Talk 14:33, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Don't keep (edit conflict) - this is not a delete !vote, only an "action is required" comment. Thryduulf is correct that we shouldn't blanket-delete the template because it will break many licensing statements across the project. However BU Rob13 makes an urgent point with legal ramifications that this situation must be dealt with, as copyright is not a thing that we can get sort-of right, and many of these statements are already broken because they are legally ambiguous. Rob, is it safe to assume that transclusions of the template older than numbered versions of CC-BY-SA can be safely bypassed to {{cc-by-sa-1.0}}? Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:47, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
    • @Ivanvector: Yes and no. Yes, that's what we should do. No, it's not "safe" any more than it's safe to apply this template in the first place. It won't harm anything further than already harmed to bypass to {{cc-by-sa-1.0}}, though. ~ Rob13Talk 16:06, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
      • (edit conflict) It's true I don't normally deal with TfD, but I do deal with with RfD daily and the convention is that we almost exclusively deal with redirects as they are, not as they might be in the future (certainly when nothing of that nature has been mentioned in the nomination). I don't see evidence of there having been any confusion about which license was intended either before or after the target was moved from this title to it's present location in 2013 so I'm inclined to keep it as is. However, I note that in January this year the equivalent template on Commons was changed from the redirect it had been since 2008 to a warning, effectively deprecating the tag. That descision was very contentious, but based on the relevant points made there I think we can say that files using this template fall into several categories.
        • Those first licensed before 25 May 2004 (the date the version 2.0 licenses were released [34]) can safely be assumed to be version 1.0 and migrated there.
        • Those directly uploaded to, and first licensed on, en.wp after 10 December 2004 (when the template was changed to explicitly mention 1.0 [35]) can be safely assumed to mean 1.0 and be migrated there.
        • All other files will need looking at individually to determine whether the correct license is 1.0, the latest version (as of the licensing date) or unspecified (which I think means the latest version as of the licensing date or any later version, but check that with a copyright specialist). This includes all those files not first licensed at en.wp.
        In any case, I think that after all the current transclusions have been migrated to an explicit license and all references in policies and upload forms, etc. have been updated that it would be better to deprecate (as Commons has done) rather than delete. Thryduulf (talk) 15:16, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
        • @Thryduulf: As noted above, I encourage deprecation to a warning message rather than outright deletion. This is redirects for discussion, after all, so I considered this to still be the right venue. This puts me in a bind. Our community norms surrounding templates say I may not bypass any of these redirects to {{cc-by-sa-1.0}} if I intend to bring this up for discussion in the future and that such discussions must be part of an XfD, so if this closes without consensus to accomplish a specific something, I effectively can't do anything with this template even though we all agree the current situation is very sketchy from a legal point-of-view. (As an aside, if no version number is specified after version numbers were introduced, we can't assume anything and the license is invalid entirely. There are some legally meaningful differences between versions, so we can't just guess. As a second aside, perhaps what should be happening here is that template redirects go to TfD.) ~ Rob13Talk 16:10, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
          • @BU Rob13: Generally template redirects are fine here, but it really depends what you're trying to do - if it's part of a plan to reorganise templates then TfD is possibly better. In this case it seems like the better place for the discussion would be wherever file licensing is discussed (Wikipedia talk:Copyrights? WP:MCQ? I'm not sure) as there are copyright issues at the heart of this that RfD isn't best placed to handle. Thryduulf (talk) 07:33, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
            • Hmm, last I checked, redirects for discussion would be the correct place to discuss redirects. That being said, it seems like it'd be a good idea to alert those places of this discussion if wider participation is warranted. -- Tavix (talk) 16:54, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Convert to error message per nom since there are many CC-BY-SA licenses. -- Tavix (talk) 15:59, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Do not keep Apart from the fact that transcluding template redirects does slow down the website a tiny bit, this one creates legal ambiguity if people use it without reading the actual template page. So its transclusions should be cleaned up and this redirect be turned into an error message that transcludes {{No license}}. Same for the other redirects, I think. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 16:50, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Note I've left messages at WP:MCQ and Wikipedia talk:Copyrights. Hopefully knowledgeable users will follow. Thryduulf (talk) 19:04, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Don't assume. In copyright matters, any speculations about what someone may have meant are dangerous. We have several redirects here that produce, as an end-result, a by-sa 1.0 license on the corresponding image pages. Assuming uploaders may have possibly meant anything else is not sound. So from the perspective of a low activity WP:CP volunteer, you can merge them to a single redirect, you can replace them by the redirect target, you can delete all files as unlicensed, but what you cannot do is change a valid license statement to a warning or error message, or a different license statement, without subverting each uploaders' copyrights. MLauba (Talk) 21:25, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
    • @MLauba: What has been proposed is to convert all existing occurrences of the five redirects nominated here to {{Cc-by-sa-1.0}}, so all pages currently bearing the license would retain it. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 22:21, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
      • It's not the only thing proposed in the discussion here, and where the !votes stray from that simple conversion, it becomes problematic. MLauba (Talk) 22:27, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Question Before there were CC-BY-SA 2.0 or higher, was CC-BY-SA 1.0 actually called CC-BY-SA without version number? Jclemens (talk) 03:36, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
    • The official deed of the license seems to have included 1.0 from the start December 2002 archived version. The January 2003 version of the Creative Commons website homepage starts "On December 16, 2002, Creative Commons released version 1.0 of its Licensing Project...". I presume that when there weren't other versions that cc-by-sa and cc-by-sa-1.0 were legally equivalent. Thryduulf (talk) 08:21, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Convert to error message given the ambiguity. They shouldn't be deleted since CC By SA is a commonly known license type, so it's more useful to have a helpful reminder to use a more specific license than to leave those who would use these redirects with nothing. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 06:15, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
  • do not delete. If a "unnumbered" licence is appropriate (can't I just say "I licence under CC-BY-SA"?) then make it a full template. If a licence needs to be "numbered" then turn into a warning and help to choose one. In any case, keep as little redirects from different spellings as needed. ("Template:CC-BY-SA license" is probably best replaced and deleted) Uses must, really must, be assessed case by case in order to check, to the best of our judgement, what was the intended licence placed by the original user of the redirect/template. We should not change someone else's licence (Looong time ago I uploaded a few pictures, with whatever licence I felt better by then, right or wrong. Then some editors decided to change both the template's content and the template in use in those images. I doubt I will ever again upload any image. Not much of a loss, I know :-) but we do not want to lose more and more contributors, do we?) - Nabla (talk) 13:34, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

    • Softlavender, I brought this here because most of Neelix's common name redirects are correct and reasonable. So, I presumed that Neelix knew something that he didn't explain when he created this redirect. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 05:55, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
      • In nearly all instances, you can check a revision of the article around the time when Neelix created the redirect. Invariably, the article will mention the term as an alternate name. It is not his fault if the scope of the article changes at some point in the following decade. —Xezbeth (talk) 13:27, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Dabify. It's the literal meaning of the Nahuatl name for the target: this shouldn't normally warrant inclusion on dab pages, but the phrase seems to appear often enough on its own (without reference to the either the English or the Nahuatl name). It's also a common name for a species of daisy. A dab page has been drafted below the redirect and mentions added to the two articles. – Uanfala 10:50, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Borana languages[edit]

Not alternative name of subject article and confusing with Borana language; only Borana Oromo language comes up in Google search results SpikeballUnion (talk) 03:15, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Borana was what was used in either Campbell or Kaufman, which is primarily what i was using for South American langs at the time. (Probably Kaufman just by looking at the name, he created many names by Españolifying.) As i recall, i redirected since Kaufman treated Boran(a/o) as a separate unrelated family (or language) and there was no page for the Boran(a/o) family (just as there is no page now) and i was only concerned with creating pages for the highest level uncontroversial genealogical node at the time.
Why are you consulting google? What can it possibly know about these languages? It's just a search engine. Did google even scan the sources used for the article? I think consulting the sources mentioned in the article makes more sense. (Also, we already know that google frequency counts dont correlate to experimental lexical frequency measures in native English speakers as well as other corpora. So, it's not even clear to me why wikipedia should even allow this type of 'original research.' However, i'm not going to be the one to fight that fight on the talk pages.)
It's possible i made a mistake at the time. Go ahead and check it out. It's good to have copyeditors. peace. – ishwar  (speak) 16:15, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep. I was able to catch a glimpse of only one of the two Kaufman texts cited in the article, and it does say (on p. 43) that the Spanish name for the Boran languages is familia Borana. The redirect then (solely on the basis of that) seems like it's mixing English and Spanish, but in a way that seems plausible for a reader encountering the term in a Spanish text. – Uanfala 21:50, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Bp2[edit]

BP2 is also an abbreviation for Bipolar II disorder (although BP-II is more common, at least in formal contexts). I'm split as to which article this should point to, but I lean toward retargeting. Since it's a 3-letter string, Google's not as helpful as it might be. However:

  1. A simple search for BP2 yields the disorder as the second result and the subject of the Knowledge Graph bar. The following results are a mishmash of topics, but the disorder commands a plurality.
  2. The first result is an acronym dictionary that lists both the album and the disorder (although only the album is in the search-results excerpt). However, as best as I can tell, the album is not mentioned again in any of the following 10 pages of results.
  3. BP2 mental has 290k GHits to BP2 album's 278k. But I concede this may be within the margin of error.

Thoughts? Ultimately, I'll be happy either way, as long as the end result has a hatnote pointing to the other page. — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 22:29, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

  • Comment I think we can safely redirect this to the dab page bp-II now -- 65.94.42.131 (talk) 04:52, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Agreeing with the disambiguation done above, but it would seem that given what most of the entries look like Bp-II is a somewhat odd title for it. I think it's better to move it to the simpler and more common BP2 (or something similar). Also, I'm really weary of including the Amoco entry as web search results don't seem to return anything meaningful for the combination of "Amoco" and any variants of "BP2". – Uanfala 11:00, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Cultural decay[edit]

No mention of this term in the target article, so no indication of relevance of the redirect. PamD 22:17, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Keep: The Cultural diversity article states that monoculturalism is "cultural decay", analogical to how multiculturalism is "cultural diversity". From the article: "Cultural diversity is the quality of diverse or different cultures, as opposed to monoculture, the global monoculture, or a homogenization of cultures, akin to cultural decay." I have edited the Monoculturalism article to reflect this in both articles. 93 22:25, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
  • delete The first sentence of cultural diversity is an eyebrow-raiser, but in any case searching for "cultural decay" in GBooks shows that it isn't synonymous with monoculturalism, but indeed means pretty much what you would expect: any kind of cultural breakdown. It could be argued (as one ref I found said) that cultural decay leads to something more like a monoculture, but that doesn't exhaust how people use the word, and it seems to me to be a somewhat uncommon usage. Mangoe (talk) 21:28, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Do not keep. The fact that one thing has been regarded by some[who?] as being akin to something else,[citation needed] gives us no reason for redirecting one to the other, even if a mention has been added (and even if that mention were sourced and contextualised). Cultural decay should be explained either in an article of its own, or in some related general article, like Culture. – Uanfala 23:31, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Comment - The general concept of "cultural decay" is something that deserves its own article, probably? To be frank, I feel like the current cultural diversity probably violates Wiki guidelines in terms of its lack of sourcing. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 04:51, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Easily confused words[edit]

There is a header on the target stating that the page "is not meant to be an encyclopedic article about such errors.", so a redirect (and linking, for that matter) from mainspace does not seem appropriate. – Train2104 (t • c) 03:55, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

  • Do not retarget to Common English usage misconceptions as that article's topic is misconceptions about English grammar and usage, not confusable words. The current target, though in project space, is probably the nearest thing the average user will have in mind when searching for "easily confused words". However, there's no reason for the topic to be restricted to English, and the phrase is vague enough for there to be relevant content in several articles: Homonym, False friends or Paronym (the English wikipedia is was until recently the only major wikipedia without an article on that). – Uanfala 11:07, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Daedelus catalog[edit]

Delete: Unnotable WP:CATALOG item. Lordtobi (✉) 15:59, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

  • Keep at least some. I don't think WP:CATALOG applies to redirects. If it did, we could feasibly delete every single redirect that has ever existed for something that is not an article. Redirects are WP:CHEAP and there is no valid reason to delete most of these. Ss112 16:01, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
    Other than WP:CATALOG, a redirect would require that a user looking for the item he is searching for finds valuable information on the subject, but in all of these cases, we would redirect the reader to a page where it is only included in a list, maybe sealed with a release year, but nothing the reader would actually want to know (development, release, length, genre, etc.), which makes these redirects rather confusing. This reasoning was with a lot of good deletions recently. Lordtobi (✉) 16:08, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
    A user may actually create the article(s) in future, and I don't think the redirects are confusing anybody because it's directing readers to the artist who made it/them, i.e. a more general topic (the reason why Template:R from album exists to place on redirects, is it not?) There just seems to be no real point to deleting redirects when they only appear to help and not hinder. These redirects are like placeholders until/if somebody wishes to expand them beyond that.

  • (edit conflict)Keep those that are mentioned in the list. Generally, redirecting non-notable topics to a list in which they appear is encouraged (if there is no more in-depth coverage elsewhere) as it gives people some information and discourages the creation of articles on non-notable topics (see also {{R to list entry}}). It sounds to me that the best way to address your concerns is to add more information (e.g. length, genre) to the target list. Thryduulf (talk) 16:27, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Here's my mix: Delete Experience (Daedelus song). It's not mentioned at the target article, nor at any of his album articles. Keep the rest. If you were to follow WP:CATALOG, it would inform you that Wikipedia is not a sales catalog. There's no pricing at play here, so WP:CATALOG does not apply. -- Tavix (talk) 17:00, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom, it's cross-namespace. PCN02WPS 20:25, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Move to Talk:Riley family/Template:Riley family tree or something similar, as this was copied to the article. Peter James (talk) 23:13, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Move as suggested, without leaving behind a redirect. This can't be deleted because of the requirement for atrribution. – Uanfala 18:38, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep due to the need for attribution. In case someone needs the history, it should be relatively easy to find. Moving it to a cryptic place does not help in that regard. -- Tavix (talk) 19:56, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
    • I don't think a subpage of the article is a more cryptic location than a page in template namespace. If someone does follow a link to the template, they will then be directed to the deletion log entry which will point to the page's new location. Moving is better than keeping because of the need to prevent the template namespace from getting "polluted" (as they say over at TfD), that is free of things that are not templates and that will get in the way of for example people searching for templates. But all these benefits are slight, so I don't think it's that important in what particular way the page is kept, as long as it is kept. – Uanfala 20:46, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Non-freeware[edit]

Propose retarget to Commercial software --37.126.12.130 (talk) 00:52, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

  • Retarget per nomination as Business software is not an antonym of freeware. Thryduulf (talk) 13:53, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete - vague. Non-freeware is a large galaxy of things that are not commercial software. What about shareware, adware, FOSS, postcardware, .... Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:04, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Comment should this go to Freeware as an {{R from antonym}}, as with unfriend? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:08, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Retarget to freeware - I agree with AngusWOOF. No other target is a definition of "non-freeware", so let's give them what freeware is. - Richard Cavell (talk) 20:20, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Regarget to Commercial software. If a person is searching for "non-freeware", I think it's more likely they are actually wanting to read about commercial software. That coupled with the fact that non-freeware very closely matches the idea of Commercial software convinces me. I see nominator had already retargeted. Jason Quinn (talk) 14:55, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

  • I'm fine with either a retarget to Freeware per Angus or deletion per Ivanvector. Shareware is a good example of non-freeware that's not (necessarily) commercial. -- Tavix (talk) 17:51, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

  • Delete – Useless and not well-specified in the industry. Readers can use "freeware", "shareware", "free software", "business software", etc. Why should we have "Non-X" for every "X" when the "Non-X" term is not widely used in WP:RS? — JFG talk 13:00, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete per JFG. Deryck C. 10:19, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete This is not mentioned anywhere, and its meaning is unclear and ambiguous - does it mean software that is not freeware, or that is not free software? Peter James (talk) 23:03, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Principality and Diocese of Monaco[edit]

where should these point? Monaco - the article on the principality (country) or Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Monaco - the article on the (arch)diocese (where Diocese of Monaco redirects)? "Principality and Diocese of Monaco" is the title of the article in the Catholic Encyclopaedia, and both got an above noise level of hits last year (13 and 49 respectively) so I don't favour deletion. Thryduulf (talk) 13:33, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

This is a title in the Catholic Encyclopedia, so that's why it's there. I think it should stay and keep pointing to Monaco. JASpencer (talk) 13:55, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
The Catholic encyclopaedia article covers both the political and ecumenical areas in one article, Wikipedia covers them separately (see also WP:XY). Thryduulf (talk) 19:56, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:XY since Wikipedia treats these separately. They could equally refer to the Principality of Monaco (the country) or the Diocese of Monaco. -- Tavix (talk) 17:54, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Weak keep, if I'm correct in assuming that the diocese is coterminous with the country. If that's the case, I could just imagine a reader thinking this was the country's name and thinking it might need some sort of disambiguation. XY deletion would be my second choice; I don't see benefit in retargeting to the diocese. --BDD (talk) 20:24, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

  • SIA (1st choice) or keep (2nd choice). So far the discussion has shown that this is a reasonable and unambiguous search term, used primarily by Catholic sources, to give a title to the place Monaco. This is more like a case of Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer than illness and death. The fact that Wikipedia doesn't cover these topics with a different article structure means that we should point readers to the right place by having either a set index or a redirect. I've drafted an SIA under the RfD template for consideration. Deryck C. 09:32, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

  • Delete both only used in that Catholic Encyclopedia, which would favor Diocese of Monaco. Not a common term used in other books on the subject. It doesn't seem to be a formal title, but if it is then redirect to Diocese of Monaco. The second term would open up a can of worms with search terms like "America, United States of". Alternatively, you could do something like Diocese of California, although that SIA two different possible dioceses and also links to California. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:53, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete both - Although, I'd be alright with the first staying and going over to 'Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Monaco' instead. The latter sets up a bad precedent as stated above. Pretty sure that it should be deleted. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 01:10, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
