Collection of bad WP:RFOREIGN. The target is not Chinese, Greek or Japanese and seems to have no connection to the three countries. I excluded all Latin alphabet redirects to the same target from this nom, but they definitely need some scrutiny. I don't have the knowledge to tell which of the multiple romanizations used is correct or not and I want to avoid a WP:TRAINWRECK so, if anyone else wants to deal with that mess, be my guest. Nickps (talk) 22:18, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some transliteration schemes include diacritics, some don't. Unfortunately, there is no one universal scheme and there have been many changes over the decades, so if we want people to get successfully redirected to our article no matter what variant they find in their texts we have to cover them all. Redirects are cheap. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 03:15, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are thousands of active languages in the world, so we will have to put a limit somewhere. The redirects that an English speaker might find useful are the ones they can likely experience in English-language literature, this includes Cyrillics and various transliterations into English. English alphabet does not include diacritics, so transliteration using it is highly unlikely to be useful to them. Викидим (talk) 16:54, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CS2[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was Disambiguate by moving CS2 (disambiguation) to the base title. Thryduulf (talk) 11:55, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think CS2 should point to either Counter-Strike 2 or CS2 (disambiguation), rather than Carbon disulfide (CS2)

Googling "CS2" overwhelmingly shows Counter-Strike 2, and the names have been used interchangeably by most who are familiar with the game, including the developers.[1]

Out of the articles shown on CS2 (disambiguation) that could arguably go by the name "CS2", carbon disulfide is the lowest-trafficked, and Counter-Strike 2 the highest [2]. BugGhost🪲👻 21:02, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget and hatnote to Counter-Strike 2. I highly doubt most people looking for information on carbon disulfide don't also know its full name.
Thanks,NeuropolTalk 15:24, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move disambiguation page to the base title. I don't see a clear primary topic and redirecting this to the disambiguation page would result is a WP:MALPLACED page. In addition, the abbreviation has been used for a long time, and redirecting it to Counter-Strike 2 would create WP:RECENTISM problems. - Eureka Lott 17:45, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move disambiguation page per EurekaLott. I don't feel that elevating the game to the status of primary topic is justified. Nickps (talk) 19:14, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Science and Video games. Nickps (talk) 19:20, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move disambiguation page to base title. I am not convinced that search hits relying on the internet-based nature of the gaming community are adequate justification for WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, any more than the fact that Google Scholar hits overwhelmingly refer to the chemical would be adequate justification for choosing the other topic as primary. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:10, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disambig per "Counter-Strike 2 is more likely to be searched, but not fully the primary topic either per WP:RECENTISM" Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 23:26, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disambiguate No obvious primary topic. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 23:42, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disambiguate per the above, this game is too new to guarantee that it will be the primary topic forever. Toadspike [Talk] 17:14, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - My memory from being a teenager 20-odd years ago suggests that CS2 was a common way to refer to Counter-Strike: Source back in the day (despite it technically being the 3rd installment of the series). If this was true, the association with CS2 to Counter-Strike may be much longer lasting and enduring than WP:RECENTISM would suggest. Buuuuut... I'll admit personal anecdotes are not data. Is there anything like google ngrams that can search internet forums from back in the day? Fieari (talk) 23:54, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't even play CS but I would think the Source version is more known as CS 1.6 which has a redirect. – The Grid (talk) 17:00, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not to get too far off topic, but Counter-Strike: Source and Counter-Strike 1.6 are two different games, released in 2004 and 2000 respectively. Regarding CS:S as being referred to as "CS2" - this could be true historically, but I doubt many would refer to CS:S as "CS2" today after the release of Counter-Strike 2. BugGhost🪲👻 12:21, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Updating my position: Disambiguate - The disambiguation voters have swayed me, I think moving the contents of the disambiguation page over to CS2 makes the most sense. BugGhost🪲👻 12:28, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Technofascism and Techno-fascism[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was No consensus, retarget. There is no consensus between pointing both to Techno-populism#Technocratic populism and deleting both. After three relisting and no comments in over a week it's very unlikely that continuing to discus this will result in a consensus, but with absolutely no support for the status quo a simple no consensus defaulting to keep is not appropriate. Accordingly I've chosen to retarget as the lesser action per WP:NCRET. Thryduulf (talk) 12:06, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Same terminology, different meanings. Does its meaning depend on the absence/presence of the hyphen, or can it have both meanings either way? – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 21:09, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • My thought exactly. Either it is a term legitimately attested to in the literature, or else it is POV and should be deleted. Which of these it is, I will leave to smarter contributors than myself – the top Google “hit” points to one of the target Wikipedia articles and the second one points to this RfD itself! (and subsequent “hits” point to academic articles that are way “above my head.”) Bwrs (talk) 05:02, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
did some looking around and "technofascism" apparently means "fascism that uses technology", not "fascism in technology", so both of those are wrong
either retarget them to fascism or a more fitting target, or cause them to mysteriously disappear delete cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 14:16, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I imagined "technofascism" being a portmanteau of technocracy and fascism (with the former referring to governance by experts, not technology itself) and that it would refer to a blend of both. – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 19:25, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak retarget to techno-populism per asilvering. The term is mentioned and explained, though briefly, and the target article is topical enough that it seems likely to provide useful context around related subjects for the searcher. It also seems reasonably likely that it'll be expanded with more context as the article improves. Secondarily, delete -- current targets are inappropriate and confusing. Rusalkii (talk) 20:01, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delate. The only WP:RS on the subject that I know ([3]), is not agreeing with either target. In short, this is just a word used for verbal attacks that different parts of the political spectrum define differently. We can potentially find more sources and create an article about the word, reducing the word to label just one of the meanings (inherent in redirect) would be introducing a PoV for no good reason.--Викидим (talk) 22:13, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Griffon Corporation#Telephonics Corporation. (non-admin closure) feminist🩸 (talk) 16:51, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Telephonics Corporation is no longer owned by Griffon Corporation. If Telephonics is not sufficiently notable for its own article, the redirect should be deleted. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:44, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Telephonics Corporation has a section at the target article (Griffon Corporation#Telephonics Corporation), which includes a mention of its sale. I'm unsure why this redirect needs to be deleted - even though the company seems to have been sold, this section of the Griffon Corporation article still seems to contain the most information on the company that Wikipedia currently has, and so - in the absence of an article on Telephonics Corporation - seems to be the best target to send readers looking for information on it to.

GWR network[edit]

Relisted, see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 June 7#GWR network

Blagger[edit]

This was flagged up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disambiguation#Searching for "Blagger" currently redirects to a page with no mention of the word. by user:Oathed with the comment seems weird that it doesn't link or disambig to Blagger (video game). Not sure how to mark a page for "Disambig page needed". At the very least this does need a hatnote to the video game, but I'm not acutally sure the video game isn't the primary target. Neither the present target nor Pretexting (linked as the main article) use the term. The only other uses I'm finding (Blaggers ITA (formerly known as The Blaggers) and The Blaggers Guide would be at most see-alsos on a dab page.
The video game article was created at this title but moved in March 2018 by Zxcvbnm with the summary "Merge, in order to disambiguate" but they just changed the redirect target and added a hatnote. The hatnote was removed without explanation by an IP in 2020, but the mention of "blagging" had been removed in July 2018 as part of a cull of unreferenced information by Michaelgt123. None of "blag", "blagging" or "blagger" has ever been included in the Pretext article. Thryduulf (talk) 20:27, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The redirect made at least some sense at the time it was created. The article Pretext, as it appeared at the time, was about the general well-understood meaning of a "pretext"; a reason given in justification of a course of action that is not the real reason. It had only a single paragraph describing the social engineering trick.
Meanwhile, the article Social engineering (security), as it appeared at the time, in the section Pretexting, said "Pretexting..., also known in the UK as blagging". So that made at least some sense as a target (although even then, I think the video game article would have been a more appropriate target).
The video game seems pretty clearly to be the primary use for "Blagger"; if the "blagging" text is re-added to the Social engineering (security) article (as it probably should, there seems to be sufficient documentation of that, e.g., [4] at the BBC), it can be dealt with by ordinary disambiguation (hatnote or a Blagger (disambiguation) page, as appropriate). TJRC (talk) 02:39, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The page mover / redirect creator Zxcvbnm was notified in the nomination, however I have just notified at the talk page as well. Jay 💬 11:24, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disambiguate "Blagging" is another term for social engineering (see here and here). If that isn't the primary topic, then it should be disambiguated between social engineering (security) and the game, not have the game moved back here. That would be the height of folly when it could simply be re-added with a single sentence referenced to a reliable source. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 13:00, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. plicit 06:55, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:R#DELETE #2 No evidence it is a common incorrect name, and even then, it is potentially ambiguous as it is not a correct name for any Wikipedia-notable topic. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 08:21, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This redirect definitely is confusing. While I can see how this error is made (thinking Kim is the first name and Jong is a omittable middle name(they are not)), there are many potential targets if incorrect interpretation is followed. It has low page views, (only 21 in 90 days). Ca talk to me! 08:57, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per given reasonings. Also, "Kim Un" is a valid and normal-sounding Korean-language name; it's pretty conceivable to me that someone has that name right now and in future we'll have an article with that title. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 09:16, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Keep. Thryduulf (talk) 12:11, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect was tagged for speedy deletion but the tag removed with the statement that this nickname is "a real thing". I doubt this so I'm sending this to RFD. I can't see where the legitimacy of this insult is documented. There seems to be a long history of insulting redirects for political figures and I'm hoping that the redirect experts at RFD will be able to make a judgment on this one. Liz Read!

This phrase appears to be from a Tweet by Michael Cohen (lawyer). Re-target to List_of_nicknames_of_presidents_of_the_United_States#Donald_Trump as there is a reliably-sourced mention there. Ca talk to me! 09:11, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget as per Ca. The fact that this was actually entered into the federal record does raise the possibility that someone might actually search for this-- let's take them to the information we have on it. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 10:08, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget per above. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 14:22, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I understand the argument for retargeting, but the initial target is best. Most people searching for the phrase on Wikipedia would be looking for the context in which it was said in court, which the article on Trump’s prosecution provides.
Additionally, the list is mostly popular nicknames used against Trump, which this phrase is not. As far as I am aware, no one other than Cohen is using this term outside of discussion about the court case, so it is best to keep the target. Slamforeman (talk) 15:01, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That'd be a good idea, if it weren't for the fact that in the current target, it's only mentioned in the Notes section, while the proposed target discusses it directly. If they really want to get to the current target, it's directly linked in the proposed target. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 15:30, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That can all be changed, surely. Anything more that could be written about this nickname, which would probably just be "it was said in court", would pertain to the prosecution. Slamforeman (talk) 16:29, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
