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, do 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. For non-controversial cases, place a technical request; if a discussion is required, then start a requested move.
  • If you think a redirect points to the wrong target article, this is a good place to discuss what should be the proper target.
  • 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. However, redirects that do have incoming links are sometimes deleted, so that is not a sufficient condition for keeping. (See § When should we delete a redirect? for more information.)

Please do not change the target of the redirect while it is under discussion. This adds unnecessary complication to the discussion for both potential closers and participants.

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 "Search results 1–10 out of 378" 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 proposes to delete a redirect and has no discussion after at least 7 days, 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]


Shortcut

Further information: Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Common outcomes
Further information: Wikipedia:Moving a page § Moving over a redirect

The major reasons why deletion of redirects is harmful are:

  • a redirect may contain non-trivial edit history;
  • if a redirect is reasonably old (or is the result of moving a page that has been there for quite some time), then it is possible that its deletion will break incoming links (such links coming from older revisions of Wikipedia pages, from edit summaries, from other Wikimedia projects or from elsewhere on the internet, do not show up in "What links here").

Therefore consider the deletion only of either harmful redirects or of recent ones.

Reasons for deleting[edit]

Shortcut
See also: Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion § Redirects
"WP:RDELETE" redirects here. For revision deletion, see Wikipedia:Revision deletion. For deletion review, see Wikipedia:Deletion review.

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 legitimately discussed in the article), or "Joe Bloggs" to "Loser". (Speedy deletion criterion G10 and G3 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 also the existence of namespace aliases such as WP:. Speedy deletion criterion R2 may apply if the target namespace is something other than Category:, Template:, Wikipedia:, Help:, or Portal:.)
  7. If the redirect is broken, meaning it redirects 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 in a language other than English 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 the title needs to be freed up to make way for the move. If the move is uncontroversial, tag the redirect for G6 speedy deletion, or alternatively (with the suppressredirect user right; available to page movers and admins), perform a round-robin move. 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.

Reasons for not deleting[edit]

Shortcut

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; consider tagging the redirect with the {{R from misspelling}} template to assist editors in monitoring these misspellings.
  3. They aid searches on certain terms. For example, users who might see the "Keystone State" mentioned somewhere but do not know what that refers to will be able to find out at the Pennsylvania (target) article.
  4. Deleting redirects runs the risk of breaking incoming or internal links. 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. Evidence of usage can be gauged by using the wikishark or pageviews tool on the redirect to see the number of views it gets.
  6. The redirect is to a closely related word form, such as a plural form to a singular form.

Neutrality of redirects[edit]

Shortcut

Just as article titles using non-neutral language are permitted in some circumstances, so are such redirects. Because redirects are less visible to readers, more latitude is allowed in their names, therefore perceived lack of neutrality in redirect names is 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.

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 of the page.

  • 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 ("Publish changes").
  • 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:Rfd notice|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]]

Notices about the RfD discussion may also be left on relevant talk pages.

  • 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.

Bloodbender[edit]

Not mentioned in that get article, leaving the connection between the redirect and its target unclear. Steel1943 (talk) 14:37, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Bloodbending is a plot element in the season 3 episode "The Puppetmaster", but I'm undecided if Avatar: The Last Airbender (season 3) would make for a good redirect target or not.--AlexandraIDV 15:35, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep since redirects are cheap, and this, as seen above, is mentioned in an episode, so I see no reason to delete this article. The whole point of RFA is to delete potentially problematic redirects, this is not that. Lallint⟫⟫⟫Talk 16:21, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    ...Umm, no. As mentioned above and by myself, the redirect targeting its current target is unhelpful due to its lack of identifying it in the target article, in addition to potential alternative target(s) existing. Anyone trying to understand what the redirect's subject represents will currently be led to nothing in the article (just mention in an episode is not enough; making that claim is akin to a WP:NOTFANDOM issue), meaning WP:RDEL (probably point #2) applies. Steel1943 (talk) 22:26, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Avatar:_The_Last_Airbender_(season_3)#ep48, where it's discussed the most... or just to the whole season page, as it is discussed later as well at #ep56. Without prejudice against a subsequent retarget somewhere else if a better target emerges. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 10:40, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No color[edit]

I don't think "No color" is an alternative name for "Black and white", and not a very popular search term. QuickQuokka [⁠talk • contribs] 12:13, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to No Color I guess, assuming it's referring to printers but too broad a term. Bonoahx (talk) 12:27, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Baroness Brightman[edit]

Delete as there is no evidence for use of this title. FDent (talk) 11:48, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, I assume it is a reference to her ex-husband Andrew Lloyd-Webber, who is a baron, but he wasn't one when they were married and the correct, if very antiquated, styling would've been Lady/Baroness Lloyd-Webber anyway. Bonoahx (talk) 12:20, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Russian Fiasco[edit]

This phrase is not used at the target, and has been used in a variety of contexts, including in this journal article on the First Chechen War. Even with the huge weight of current events and my Ukraine-heavy search history influencing the results, Google's first page doesn't give me a single thing on the current fiasco, instead reaching as far back as the Russian Civil War. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 10:16, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

TERF-related redirects[edit]

Previous RfDs for this redirect:

These terms are very similar and often used in virtually same context, but they currently point to different redirect targets. It might be fine to unify the redirect target of these terms, but I am not sure which target is better in this case. C933103 (talk) 09:47, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Looking at the arguments made in the past, I guess the question is, does the phrase "trans-exclusionary radical feminist" (or any variant thereof) have a significantly different meaning than the acronym "TERF"? On the one hand, the article TERF is about the acronym itself, not the concept. On the other hand, the phrase "trans-exclusionary radical feminist" is rarely used as anything other than an expansion of that acronym (actual GHit count: 147). Indeed, most people who object to the term "TERF" also object to the term "trans-excusionary radical feminist", as they tend to see themselves as protecting cis women rather than excluding trans women. So this isn't a case of a redirect for a neutral term going to an article on criticism of that concept. "Trans-exclusionary radical feminist" is a decidedly non-neutral term, almost exclusively associated with the word "TERF", and thus I think we should synchronize at TERF. The only remaining objection I see is that "TERF" is sometimes used to describe people who are not actually radical feminists (not meant in a No true Scotsman way, like, people who are not and do not claim to be), but I'm not sure the expanded forms are immunte to that either. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 10:04, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Note that, I find the term "trans[-]exclusive radical feminist[/ists/ism]" being a bit more commonly used than "trans[-]exclusionary radical feminist[/ists/ism]", but they currently have no redirect links. C933103 (talk) 11:53, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

TP:TI[edit]

Unused pseudo-namespace shortcut, the only of its kind. While "T:" is a valid pseudonamespace for limited purposes (probably not including this) per WP:PNS and WP:SHORTCUT, there is no consensus for a "TP" pseudonamespace, and there's been an understanding for quite some time that no new pseudonamespaces should be created. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 09:45, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

P:TUVALU[edit]

Per WP:SHORTCUT, "P:" pseudonamespace redirects are meant for portals, not WikiProjects. Suggest retarget to Portal:Tuvalu. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 09:39, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Translation of "Joseph son of Matthias" to modern Hebrew, which falls under WP:RFFL as Flavius isn't a Hebrew name, and this is just another editor's conjectural reconstruction in a modern language, and there is no evidence of what his actual name in Hebrew sounded like during his lifetime.

Afghan War (2001–current)[edit]

As the war has officially ended, we should rename and delete these redirects. Redirects are cheap, but they should not be misleading. Anarchyte (talk) 13:14, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Afghan War (2001–current) as it has essentially no page traffic. Keep Afghan War (2001-current) as it has a bit of traffic probably due to incoming links. I don't think the redirects are necessarily misleading; they're just out of date. If a redirect has existed for long enough and has enough page views, it makes sense to keep as long as it can't reasonably be superseded by this and seeing that there's no other ongoing Afghan war that began in 2001, I don't think that is a huge risk. TartarTorte 15:50, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • @TartarTorte: The question then becomes when is "current" truly misleading? In 2025, 2030? People can type "Afghan War" or "War in Afghanistan" into the search bar and they'll be presented with links that say "Current". That will definitely lead to confusion eventually. Anarchyte (talk) 03:15, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • What do you think about others below? Sawol (talk) 16:29, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirects with "to present"
  • @Sawol: I would also want those renamed, but I'll note that some of the 2015 redirects have substantive history that we should not delete. If this RfD is successful, we can discuss the rest after. Anarchyte (talk) 03:15, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all. No reason to delete one and not the other (and by keep all, I mean all of the ones raised by Sawol also). It has been less than a year. These aren't ambiguous with anything, so deletion doesn't provide any positive utility, just runs the risk of breaking external links. A7V2 (talk) 00:51, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Economics of internet[edit]

I went back and forth on these two, considering speedy deletion as an implausible misnomer, just as I did for Socialism of internet and Communism of internet.

Overcapitalized unused redirect; I moved the redirect to Future event list to make it usable in article text, which left this redirect. Dicklyon (talk) 19:59, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep since the only rationale for deletion is due to capitalization, this looks to be a valid {{R from alternative capitalization}}. Since you moved it, this should also be kept as a {{R from move}}. I don't understand the point of moving it though. If you didn't think "Future Event List" was a good redirect, you should have just nominated that for deletion instead of performing a WP:MOVEREDIRECT. That aside, I'm not sure Future event list is a good redirect—it's not defined at the target (and "future" isn't even mentioned!). -- Tavix (talk) 23:28, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

March 10[edit]

IPhone 8 (2nd generation)[edit]

I think this redirect page is unnecessary. Hajoon0102 💬 23:18, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, redirect doesn't make sense. I can't find any sources that refer to the 2nd gen iPhone SE as "iPhone 8 (2nd generation)" and that isn't how Apple generally name iPhones anyway. Bonoahx (talk) 01:14, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OIIIIIIIO[edit]

It appears pageviews suggests that there have only been 29 pageviews of this article during its entire history. The redirect doesn't appear to be something most people are actually going to use. Does this need to exist? ActuallyNeverHappened02 (a place to chalk | a list of stuff i've done) 22:11, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete. The title is an ASCII representation of a Jeep grille and headlamps, so I can see why it was created. However, it doesn't seem encyclopedic and is hardly a plausible search term. --Sable232 (talk) 22:17, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, not a nonsense redirect but doesn't seem plausible, only search results for the term is an Urban Dictionary entry and social media, which make it clear that it represents Jeep. Bonoahx (talk) 23:00, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of leap years[edit]

There is no list of leap years anywhere on the target page, so this redirect should be deleted. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 18:19, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nor should there be. Delete as pointless. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 19:27, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. There used to be a list article here that was deleted at AfD in 2013. Shortly thereafter, this redirect was created, then someone made a very poor attempt to recreate the list, which was reverted back to the redirect. While there are graphs with leap years in the target, there isn't a list, so delete the redirect as misleading. Mdewman6 (talk) 19:47, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

N,[edit]

Seems to be a non-standard representation of the IPA character "ŋ", and doesn't appear in conventional remappings like X-SAMPA. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 15:46, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to Eng (letter). I think this is a plausible search term. Nevertheless, I would certainly be fine with deletion if others favor that. Mdewman6 (talk) 18:43, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Is the comma meant to be a visual cue for the downward hook of the letter? In that case, it's a bit more plausible for the (noticeably rarer) n with comma/cedilla below Ņ. – Uanfala (talk) 23:22, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The revolution of farmers[edit]

R from move leftover from the page's early history, when it stood at this title for ten days following creation, before being renamed. There's probably a better target, but I'm not sure what that would be. If one isn't identified, deletion would be best. Paul_012 (talk) 14:05, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Loveleen Mishra[edit]

Hum Log is a DAB page, and a useless target. Loveleen Mishra is an actress who has appeared in Hum Log (television series), but also elsewhere; see her IMDb entry. Delete, to encourage article creation if justified. Narky Blert (talk) 13:20, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pneumoultramicroscopicsilicanovolcanoconiosis[edit]

Currently redirects to Longest word in English but an article for the word has been created in the meantime. Suggesting either a retarget to Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis as R from misspelling, or potentially deletion, I can only find two Google results with this misspelling that are WP:CIRCULAR, from an Italian-language version of Longest word in English. Bonoahx (talk) 12:29, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • For anyone else trying to parse the typos here, it's "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicanovolcanoconiosis". Either of those typos on its own would be fairly implausible, and taken together they add up to something very implausible. This was an article for a few hours in 2006, but only a sentence long, redirected as a duplicate; its pageviews since then are nontrivial, but low enough that I find it unlikely that they're the result of any external dependency (and more likely the result of search suggestions or such). Delete. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 14:49, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Golden orb[edit]

The redirect may refer to other things, like Maya the Bee: The Golden Orb or an object of the same name mentioned in either Part 3 (Twin Peaks) or Dragon Quest V. George Ho (talk) 11:12, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, just convert it to a dab page; no need for discussion. Peter coxhead (talk) 11:44, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mercedes-Benz CLT-Class[edit]

The only reference to this I can find anywhere is this article [5] published one day after the redirect was created (but that could be a timezone issue I suppose) claiming the CLT would be shown in Paris. It's safe to say that didn't happen and that nothing ever came of this rumoured model. Delete. A7V2 (talk) 11:08, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The CLT was a real concept car that gets referenced by even Mercedes Dealerships in their modern marketing materials. In fact, both the modern marketing materials and the automotive snooping sites reference a “shooting brake” design, which makes me think that this was a real concept car. It looks to me like this might just be the CLA under an in-development name, but that would be a bit OR-y to explicitly claim. In any case, the CLT was clearly a real thing, though it never made it to mass production under that title. I see no harm in keeping the redirect under these circumstances. — Mhawk10 (talk) 15:51, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • This redirect was created back in 2008 when the "spy shots" of this supposed new model (I personally wouldn't consider them a reliable source) were taken. It's unlikely that the dealership describing the proposed CLT is referring to the same model, and I wouldn't say it is evidence that this is "real" as it is more of a vague reference when describing something else. In any case, there is no mention at the target, so keeping this redirect would serve only to mislead or confuse anyone searching this term. A7V2 (talk) 00:16, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mercedes-Benz T-Class[edit]

Both of these are rumoured/recently announced new models (see for example [6], [7] for the CLE, [8] and [9] for the T-Class) with no information or mention at the target or anywhere on wikipedia. Delete. A7V2 (talk) 10:59, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The Mercedes-Benz T-class is a real thing and it's made by Mercedes. The all-electric version of the van will be called the EQT, which itself is a concept car still listed on the Mercedes-Benz website. The T-class has been covered by enough sources that a redirect is warranted, at minimum. — Mhawk10 (talk) 17:19, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm not questioning that information exists about these. A redirect is not warranted, however, if there is no information at the target. That is one of the "reasons to delete". WP:RFD#DELETE number 10 seems to apply here. But we should not be keeping redirects just because information exists about the subject elsewhere. A7V2 (talk) 00:11, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

BlueHybrid[edit]

The only mention of any kind at the current target is a part of the model name Mercedes-Benz S400 BlueHYBRID which itself is a redirect to Mercedes-Benz S-Class where the only mention is that same model name as a caption of a photo. Looking online it seems like this was the only "BlueHYBRID" model, and was only ever a prototype [10] and given the lack of recent articles I suppose it was abandoned. So potentially we could retarget to Mercedes-Benz S-Class but I would prefer deletion unless a better target can be found. A7V2 (talk) 10:49, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W221)#S 400 Hybrid (2009–2013). BlueHYBRID is definitely a real thing that Mercedes-Benz has used in its products. The 2010 S-Class BlueHYBRID itself has been significantly covered by Car and Driver, CNET, and Motor Trend, and Autoweek, as well as being explicitly mentioned in this Edmunds review of the 2010 S-class. This is much more than enough that is needed to establish that the existence of a redirect is acceptable. But, considering that the only use of the term appears to be in a designation for the 5th generation S-class, it seems better for the redirect to go there than to generally go to the Mercedes-Benz page. — Mhawk10 (talk) 17:30, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • I had meant that the "name" had been abandoned (since I imagine the redirect was created thinking they would use it for several models). But in any case your suggested target seems quite appropriate. I will WP:BOLDly retarget Mercedes-Benz S400 BlueHYBRID there now. A7V2 (talk) 00:07, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fresh Produce[edit]

Someone searching for "fresh produce" is likely to be looking for the topic Produce rather than a compilation album. For that matter, fresh produce is a red link. feminist (talk) Слава Україні! 07:34, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

*(Creator of the redirect here) Surely this doesn't need a discussion? Wouldn't it be easier by being bold by changing the redirect to produce and then creating Fresh Produce (album) to link to Seaway (band)? MusicforthePeople (talk) 09:56, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If it is so clear that that is what should be done, why didn't you do it when you created the redirect? You added categories and talk page content specific to albums to the current redirect, so it's not just a simple retarget. Mdewman6 (talk) 02:55, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It didn't occur to me at the time; I guess I thought it would be an obvious redirect (fresh produce to produce) that should've already existed. I support Mdewman6's suggestion. MusicforthePeople (talk) 07:07, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Theleekycauldron: Except that it’s not a joke. The NSA is/was passing around pictures of naked people, and as laid out in the linked article various intelligence agencies collect bucketloads of data, it can’t be ruled out dick pics are collected too. Edward Snowden himself said in the interview, “Well, the good news is there is [= in 2012] no program named the ‘Dick Pic Program’, the bad news is they are still collecting everybody’s information. Including the dick pics.” The confusion is certainly there. ‑‑ K (🗪 | ✍) 12:44, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wine cats[edit]

Fear not, my last of the day. "Wine cats" could refer to a number of things, such as this book. It's surprising for this combination of two common words to instead link to an obscure projectspace subpage. No backlinks, low pageviews, and of course no way to know if readers visiting this link found what they were looking for. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 05:24, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. A redirect like that tickles the curiosity, but obviously disappoints. It would make sense only in project space and then ideally as a shortcut (WP:WINECATS?, but that already exists and goes to a somewhat different place); definitely not appropriate in the present form. – Uanfala (talk) 16:49, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Porn Project[edit]

This is the only WikiProject cross-namespace shortcut with the format "X Project" or "X project". Everything I said below about Ukraine Wikiproject stands, but here the greater concern is that it's a surprising redirect. "Porn Project" refers to a number of things, most notably a Christian anti-pornography group. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 05:20, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ukraine Wikiproject[edit]

This is the only WikiProject cross-namespace shortcut of the format "X Wikiproject" or "X WikiProject". As that link shows, XNRs to WikiProjects are quite rare to begin with. Any "Wikiproject:" or "WikiProject:" pseudonamespace has been conclusively ruled out by past RfDs (see documentation here), and I think "X Wikiproject" or "X WikiProject" should be treated the same, as the alternative would be opening the door to thousands of such XNRs. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 05:16, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Teleaid[edit]

Created as a redirect to Maybach (a subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz) then retargeted a few months later on the basis that "The system is available in all Mercedes-Benzes, why should it redirect to Maybach". Not mentioned at either article and I don't think any is justified. There are mentions at Car phone and a few Mercedes models such as Mercedes-Benz W140 (note that this one includes it as the redlink TELEAID). Looking online it is possible that this topic is notable but in any case with no suitable target I think delete. A7V2 (talk) 04:48, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for alerting on this - most Project class items related to the Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects in states of Australia - even where they may currently apparently no longer utilised have been kept (where possible) in archived form where possible - as a record of the activities held by the project(s) - so utilitarian concerns to date have been sublimated (so to speak) by the need to complement any metrics required by outside bodies as to the ups and downs and sideways of the projects and events. Where possible we keep the most trivial 'paper trails' for good purpose - that said and the commendable offering of a page view in the nomination (more power to the process of checking such items!) maybe in the end we dont need it - but as I am on the other side of this hot/wet continent - the more relevant editor might just be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kerry_Raymond...

Ukraine Is Not Yet Dead[edit]

  • While the target article translates the title as "The glory and freedom of Ukraine has not yet perished", "Ukraine has not yet perished" for short, this translation does see some currency, and the title-case capitalization is reasonable enough given that it's the title of a work. Thus, keep, and I'd say create those two redlinks as well as appropriate title-/sentence-case variants of all three. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 02:58, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    (Much of) the first page of Google hits is from the past few weeks because the whole world developed a great interest in Ukrainian politics and culture in the past few weeks. (I wonder why.)

  • Delete. The logo on the official website does show the ® symbol after "Wiffle" but not especailly prominently. On first use on other pages the symbol is inlcuded - e.g. the welcome page begins "Dear WIFFLE® Enthusiast:". However usage on the news page includes "[T]he WIFFLE ® Ball was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame." with that spacing. Putting all this together I don't think that the unspaced registered trade mark symbol is a likely search term. Thryduulf (talk) 22:43, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete even if the unspaced registered trademark was was used more often in promotional material it’s highly unlikely that the average person who type that trying to search for it.--65.93.195.118 (talk) 03:05, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mossy Land[edit]

Minimal criminal[edit]

Jodhi Bibi[edit]

I request for deletion of the redirect Jodhi Bibi as Mariam-uz-Zamani is not referred to as Jodhi Bibi in any books, articles, television shows, websites, discussion,etc. Jodhi Bibi is used rarely for her daughter-in-law, Jagat Gosain but since its barely even used, I think it's okay to not redirect to her either. Also no articles link to Jodhi Bibi and is a rarely visited page, so it removal possibly would not cause any problems.

  • Keep. While eventually we should have articles about both, the redirects are reasonable as they are pointing to the most closely related content we have right now. The redirects can be switched into articles whenever someone feels competent enough to write them. One of the uses of redirects is to decouple building infrastructure from (re-)organizing contents, and it is good to have them so that continuing to build infrastructure isn't hindered by content work laying somewhat behind. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 12:44, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Neutral On one hand, there shouldn't be an article about this, per WP:NOTDATABASE (and due to the fact that no other content seems to exist about this). On the other, even if properly targeted, this is an unlikely search term (giving this is a rather unlikely topic as well), and there is no content about this (other than a line in the sports-by-sports medal table) at the target article (which is itself not much better than a database entry). Removing the redirect would not remove any functionality or valuable content (previous versions of this redirect are entirely unsourced); though at the same time keeping it is a redirect to discourage article creation is also a valid concern.

The place to determine the answer to questions of notability of articles is AfD not RfD.

Nasty Party[edit]

Appears to have originally been an article retargeted to Conservatism in the United Kingdom but changed to the current target without discussion. Theresa May popularised the phrase, but it isn't really in relation to her. Suggest Restore per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nasty Party or retarget to somewhere more appropriate as WP:RNEUTRAL. Bonoahx (talk) 10:41, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete entirely. The original redirect doesn't mention the phrase "Nasty Party" at all (and such a redirect seems borderline PoV/disruptive). The Theresa May reference at least mentions the phrase, but I don't see it being notable enough for this redirect ot exist. — Czello 11:18, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as is, or restore: It certainly is a known and probably notable expression enough and probably ought to be included in Conservatism in the United Kingdom—it is used routinely in discussions around British politics to describe the shifts in positioning of the UK's political parties (i.e. following shifts in public attitudes and Howard's failure in the 2005 General Election, the Conservative Party moving away from social conservatism and towards the social liberalism of the David Cameron/George Osborne years). Examples of it being used: Guardian 2002, Independent 2021, BBC 2002, BBC 2008, BBC 2021, BBC 2021 again LabourList 2016. The neutrality argument here seems weak—the phrase is associated with Theresa May. The redirect does not say to the reader "Theresa May is a nasty party" nor "Theresa May is a member of a nasty party". If you read it like that, the neutrality argument would also apply if to any other redirect target (e.g. the Conservative Party or 'Conservatism in the UK'). Redirecting any political slogan or expression could have an obtuse interpretation, but we should assume a sensible reader who can grasp a modicum of nuance. —Tom Morris (talk) 12:47, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm really not sure what the proper process is for converting a redirect to a dismabiguation page so forgive me if I'm in the wrong place here.

Originally nominated for speedy deletion by @UnitedStatesian per speedy deletion criterion G8 as a talk page for a non-existent page. Courtesy ping for @Liz. FASTILY 00:31, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete cross-namespace redirect to a user talk page, zero substantial page history. -FASTILY 00:35, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete no reason to have this cross-namespace redirect. UnitedStatesian (talk) 06:00, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep G8 is not applicable: This criterion excludes any page that is useful to Wikipedia, and in particular: * Pages that should be moved to a different location First, I moved the "non-existent" page from "List of Negro league baseball players" to "Lists of Negro league baseball players" (plural) but I missed the subpages; that means this redirect should be moved to a different location excluding it from G8. Second, this redirects to a page I userfied to preserve its history as it was part of a contentious XfD several years ago, the redirect is linked to in several WP & talk archives so deletion would break the links, so therefore the redirect is useful to Wikipedia and again excluded from G8.
Regarding Cross-namespace. This applies to redirects (apart from shortcuts) from the main namespace to any other namespace.... "Mainspace" is defined as The main namespace is the default namespace and does not use a prefix in article page names. ... The main namespace does not include any pages in any of the specified namespaces that are used for particular purposes, such as: * the talk namespaces for discussing what the content of articles in mainspace should be. Since this was in the "talk" space, it is excluded from "cross-namespace redirect" criteria as it specifically is for "main namespace."
And finally, this redirect was attempted to be deleted last week by UnitedStatesian when they moved the target of the redirect from my user-talkspace to my userspace here, causing the redirect to show on AnomieBot's broken redirect list, causing it to be deleted by Liz. This is a direct violation of UnitedStatesian's page mover permission which only allows for the redirect to be deleted if Moving pages within a requester's own userspace to another location if a desire for deletion is expressed. No such request was made, and if a pattern of such misuse is shown, it is grounds for removal. Rgrds. --Bison X (talk) 19:06, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I base it on WP:OWNTALK, which says "User talk pages must serve their primary purpose, which is to make communication and collaboration among editors easier." Of over 3,000 pages that transclude {{draft article}}, congrats, yours is the only non-trivial transclusion in the User talk: space: pretty strong evidence that draft articles are not supposed to be there.

  • Comment I did delete this page when it showed up as a broken redirect and because I thought it was a cross-namespace redirect. It seems like this dispute hinges on whether cross-namespace redirects refers ONLY to article space or if it can it apply to other spaces as well.
An essay, Wikipedia:Cross-namespace redirects is delightfully vague and states that this is a "controversial" issue and presents arguments both for and against deletion of cross-namespace redirects. But it does specify MAIN space so it is questionable whether the Talk space is included in "main space" or whether Talk is a separate namespace entirely that is not covered by the cross-namespace guidance. The only conclusion I can come to is, unlike my opinion before discussing the matter with Bison X, the answer isn't as black and white as I originally thought and that this particular instance will be a judgment call on the part of the closer.

Z (hate symbol)[edit]

The Russian "Z" does not appear to be regularly described in reliable sources as a hate symbol – a more appropriate target would probably be Wolfsangel per USA Today. Maybe I missed something, since it's a tad difficult to search for a single letter in this manner, but I would suggest it's too soon to be classifying the Russian "Z" as a hate symbol, given the reliable sources aren't there. Sdrqaz (talk) 00:56, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - Redirects don't require reliable sources, they just have to be an unambiguous alternate title or search term. That said, you may be right that Wolfsangel is a better target, except that the Russian Z is a current hot news topic and people may be struggling to figure out how to describe it in their searches for it... and this does seem to be a plausible way they might search for it, given that some people (not reliable sources, just some people) online are describing it as a hate symbol. I almost want to create a disambiguation page for various uses of Z-like symbols as group identifiers, but that might be too broad. But regardless... searching for information on this thing is difficult, because it's so generic! It's just a letter of the alphabet! Fieari (talk) 03:26, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Elder Llywelyn[edit]

Llywelyn Fawr ap Maredudd was the elder of two brothers called Llywelyn, but the only instances of these two terms (both of which have previously been titles of this article) seem to be in running text where a sentence needs to specify which of two Llywelyns is being referred to, e.g. here for "elder Llywelyn" and here for "Llywelyn the elder". The first example refers to these brothers, but the second refers to Llywelyn the Great and Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, so the redirect target is not the only possible "elder Llywelyn". (In fact, the first page of Google Books results for "elder Llywelyn" is mostly made up of references to Llywelyn the Great, not Llywelyn Fawr ap Maredudd.) Ham II (talk) 08:25, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    @Thryduulf: That was actually meant to be an argument for deleting the redirects; sorry for not being clear. Llywelyn (disambiguation) doesn't cover any of the aforementioned people (rather counterintuitively) so the closest thing would be Llywelyn § Personal names: historical. That currently mentions Llywelyn Fawr ap Maredudd but not his younger brother. Llywelyn the Great and Llywelyn ap Gruffudd do appear there, and I suppose the order of seniority is clear because their dates are given, but it's not as if either of these terms is used as a proper name.

    I know you intended deletion, but your argument makes it clear that these names should be disambiguated somewhere. Whether that is Llywelyn (disambiguation) or a specific one at either of the titles nominated is less important, but if there is a good reason why they aren't covered at the existing page then it would seem best to create a new one. Disambiguation guarantees that people can find who they are looking for by giving appropriate context, search results (which may be several clicks/taps away depending on device, search method and account type) by contrast are not guaranteed and even if the relevant articles do appear there is no guarantee that the provided context will enable readers to reliably pick the correct article. Thryduulf (talk) 20:21, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think someone's going to read "Llywelyn ap Iorwerth had been a much more mighty ruler than his grandson. But yet he had never obtained, had hardly ever aspired to, so formal a position in the feudal hierarchy. The elder Llywelyn had generally been content to style himself 'Prince of North Wales.'" (a string of text which appears in a lot of the Google Books results) and fail to realise that the "elder Llywelyn" is the person referred to earlier as Llywelyn ap Iorwerth. It's only in contexts like this that these phrases are used. Ham II (talk) 11:12, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I added 'Elder Llywelyn' which was changed to 'Llywelyn the Elder', but both redirects are unnecessary as Llywelyn Fawr ap Maredudd would be the correct naming for the article. There is confusion as to who is who here, Llywelyn Fawr existed in the history books, and the name has since been adopted by 'Llywelyn the Great' as the literal translation, however 'Llywelyn Gwych' would be 'great' in a literal sense of the word. But to reiterate, both Elder Llywelyn & Llywelyn the elder article searches which are now redirect pages, they should both be deleted. Also, the original naming of the article Llywelyn the Elder ap Maredudd ap Cynan ab Owain Gwynedd is unnecessarily long and the original article name which was the cause the redirects, that too should be deleted as it is a confusing name which blends both English and Welsh incorrectly, Llywelyn's name was Llywelyn Fawr (the elder is an English translation). Again, I would like to bring up the case of Llywelyn the Great using Llywelyn Fawr's name incorrectly as that should be amended too, they are 2 different people who's names have been lost in translation over centuries and that should be stated through the redirect search engine, instead of having Llywelyn the Great borrowing 'Fawr' in his article search, the name should be redirected to Llywelyn Fawr who with referenced searches held the naming in the 13th century. Please see Talk:Llywelyn the Great#Llywelyn 'Fawr'? for sourced information regarding the argument. Cltjames (talk) 21:02, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Cltjames: If you really want to resolve the issue of the Llywelyn Fawr redirect (and I think its current target is correct), I'd guess that the best thing to do would be to start a formal RfC at Talk:Llywelyn the Great – a step up from your existing talk page section there. If you do, please ping me in as I might not be watching. I'd continue to argue that Llywelyn ab Iorwerth/Llywelyn Fawr/Llywelyn the Great (all the same person) is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.

Shelby Harris (supercentenarian)[edit]

Harris is no longer mentioned at this list of American supercentenarians. It looks like this was originally an article, but was merged into the list article. But since he is no longer in the top 100 longest living supercentenarians, he has been removed. It seems unhelpful to have a redirect to a page that does not contain this person (either in prose or in the table). Natg 19 (talk) 22:04, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shelby Harris closed as "merge to List of supercentenarians from the United States" in 2015, with a comment that there was a "pretty strong consensus that this should not exist as a standalone article". Thryduulf (talk) 23:03, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget if mentioned somewhere, otherwise delete. I would have suggested mentioning them at Rock Island, Illinois#Notable people and retargetting there - it's clear from the references on the former article that he was notable person in the community, but that section determines notability solely on the basis of having a Wikipedia article. The article states he was "a native of Ayrshire, Indiana", I wouldn't object to redirecting to a sourced sentence there, but given how short that article is I'm unsure how DUE that mention would be?

  • Oppose. Google searches show that the most common usage is to mean "people who live in or are from Ulster" (where "Ulster" refers to the 6 counties of Northern Ireland most often but can refer to the wider 9 county area). This is perhaps most clearly articulated in this 2015 article in The Times In the most general terms, Ulster people claiming an Irish identity tend to be Roman Catholic. [...] In equally broad terms, many Ulster-Scots folk are Protestant, chiefly Presbyterian [...]. A minority use refers to people from Ulster County, New York; the use of "Ulster people" as synonymous to "Ulster Scots people" seems to be largely confined to the single work cited by the nominator. Thryduulf (talk) 19:17, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose "Ulster people" is wider than just "Ulster Scots people". The region was never depopulated and filled again with people from Scots origin. The Banner talk 20:04, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disambiguate The term is clearly ambiguous between people from Ulster, people from Northern Ireland, people from Ulster County, and the Scots subset, so I created Ulster people (disambiguation). The only question left is if there is a primary topic. Unless sourced, citable evidence is provided that there is, the disambiguation page should inhabit Ulster people.

The article may have been a copy of the draft, although the article creator did not mention the source. If there is nothing additional at the redirect's content to merge to the target, we can delete it since the nom has attributed User:Pallet182 (the only other editor till Feb 22, 2021) at the target's talk.

Mass formation[edit]

Used in a wide variety of contexts in academic literature, from fluid dynamics to microbiology to applied medicine. Not well-described anywhere on Wikipedia, although "Mass formation psychosis" is discussed in some detail at Robert_W._Malone#COVID-19. Given the circumstances, I think that deletion to allow for search results is appropriate. signed, Rosguill talk 18:23, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a number of substantive examples of "mass formation" being used in other fields as a standalone phrase (i.e., not as "XXX mass formation", which is usually to be parsed as "[XXX mass] formation" not as "XXX [mass formation]" and therefore irrelevant)? Google hits at the moment reveal overwhelming support for this being used in the context of "mass formation psychosis" (correctly parsed as "[mass formation] psychosis"), which is a term apparently invented by Mattias Desmet (not Robert Malone) based on the real term "mass formation" used by Freud in this book. There's no question that--regardless of its veracity--"mass formation" is a significant concept in public discourse at the moment and that this book is its origin... Bueller 007 (talk) 19:31, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The most common result after discarding "[XXX mass] formation"-form results is for mass formation in medical contexts: [15], [16], [17].

  • Keep/make a proper article about the phenomenon who tells it exists, who tells it is a hoax. Also a redirect page if the term is also used in other fields. Desmet (the professor who translated the term from massavorming (Dutch) and Massenbildung (German) and connected it to covid has published his Dutch book. The book is just out and already sold out 2x, in reprint now. In the Summer the English edition occurs. He refers in the book to Elias Canetti, Gustave le Bon, Hannah Arendt as the fundament for the descriptions of what 'mass formation' (Freuds Massenbildung in German) is. The experts mentioned by Reuters (and copied by many msm-channels) can be put under a paragraph 'Criticism about the existence of the term'. Or put in the introduction as a source that the term is speculative. Denying the Belgium professor and head of the clinical psychology department doesn't really solve the case. In fact, the paradox here is even, that Reuters and the cited experts are under a spell of mass formation even, according to Desmet (now it gets weird, but you have to read the book to understand that jump). https://www.amazon.co.uk/psychologie-van-totalitarisme-Mattias-Desmet/dp/946401539X/ref=sr_1_4?qid=1646307290&refinements=p_27%3AMattias+Desmet&s=books&sr=1-4

Or include the term in Crowd psychology or Group dynamics with a good description. Everybody knows sheep form a mass formation when they get scared. One guy on the dancefloor triggers the other people to join, etc.. It is weird that this is denied. Mass formation is not mass psychosis, it exists and we all know that. Le Bon is mentioned as the first source in the article group dynamics. Desmet refers to him as the one who described the phenomenon as well.

In addition this graphic novel explains very well how the term massavorming/mass formation popped up actually in Belgium and the Netherlands. It describes the recent history of Desmets media appearance and how it is connected to Ad Verbrugge (professor philosophy at Leiden University and prominent Dutch thinker with 10 books): https://medium.com/@yurilandman/dissident-in-20-21-yuri-landman-aa3b8c7e9585 Note: of course that graphic novel is not a RS about the term itsself, but it gives good info about the historic background what actually happened with Desmet and the media, and it can be a source for that.

Russia Sanctions[edit]

It is unclear whether the titles of the first three refer to sanctions by Russia, or sanctions on Russia. Additionally, it is unclear to which round of sanctions is being referred. Possible results include choosing one as the primary topic (I'd say there's a good case to be made for International sanctions during the Russo-Ukrainian War, but that may be considered recentism), retargeting them bar the last to Economic sanctions#Russian sanctions or Russia sanctions against Ukraine, or deleting them to encourage a creation à la United States sanctions or Sanctions against North Korea. Given that there are differing interpretations, I thought it would be best to bring it to RfD for harmonisation. "Sanctions on Russia" doesn't suffer from the two-fold ambiguity of the rest, but I have bundled it together due to the one of the layers of ambiguity being identical.

  • Delete. Ambiguous (various foreign words per nom, Tangon River per Narky Blert, and Palangan, Kurdistan per original target), but I do not believe a dab page is warranted, mainly per WP:DABDIC and that I struggle to find any English coverage that refers to either of Tangon River and Palangan, Kurdistan as simply "Tangan" (no "River", no accents). eviolite (talk) 20:41, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disambiguate. We've got a number of sources that use "Tangan" (with or without "river") as the name of the river, and there's also a village whose article gives "Tangan" as synonym. Both are valid dab entries, and we're not including the Malay word for 'hand', so WP:DABDIC shouldn't concern us.

  • Retarget with hatnote per Narky, second choice DAB per Uanfala. "Tangan" seems to be a fairly obscure alternate name for Palangan, while it's an alternate transliteration of Tangon, and so I would think the latter to be the primary topic. I'm open to arguments to the contrary, but that's my read. I don't at all see the argument for deletion here. If there are multiple meanings, we disambiguate or point to one and hatnote to the others. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 18:33, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    There is a case for deletion. Instead of creating navigational infrastructure which will lock readers into accessing only the topics that we've explicitly included, it's better to leave it all to the search engine (first making sure the term concerned is prominently mentioned in the relevant articles). That way, when new content gets added that mentions other topics with the same name, they will remain available through the search results. That's how the reasoning goes; I haven't seen it used at RfD for deleting anything, though I do follow it myself when abstaining from the creation of redirects (however, I make sure to watch the title, because sooner or later someone else will come along and create a redirect, likely to a completely different topic, which will then necessitate disambiguation). From this vantage point, deletion is best, but disambiguation is better than redirecting: because if someone created a link to this page intending some other topic, then they'd get notified if that page were a dab and so they'd be able to both correct their link and expand the dab with the relevant entry; if the page is a redirect, that opportunity will likely be missed and the encyclopedia will end up with one more incorrect link.
    I prefer disambiguation for a few other reasons as well. First off, I see it as the default option, the neutral ground, departing from which will require some positive evidence as to why one rare name for an obscure topic should be treated as primary over an equally rare name for another obscure topic – disambiguating saves us the time of engaging with such an unexciting and unimportant question. Even if there is a primary topic, disambiguating may still be desirable, particularly if, as is the case here, the hatnote would be for an obscure alternative meaning (the village) of an obscure alternative spelling ("Tangan" for "Tangon"): if there is a hatnote here, it will clutter the screens of the two thousand readers who visit the article every year, when in fact it will be needed for probably only one or two of them. Another reason for preferring disambiguation is that a separate page can more easily accommodate more entries: it's alright to have a dab's "See also" link to Tangan-tangan, Tongan or Tanggang, but adding those to a hatnote will increase the clutter. – Uanfala (talk) 02:06, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Looking through the search results, I've come across another village with the name. So, I've taken the liberty of drafting a dab page below the redirect. Obviously, if there's consensus for redirecting, then four of the five links from that dab page can simply be moved to a hatnote. – Uanfala (talk) 02:13, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of keys on a standard US 105-key computer keyboard[edit]

This page was originally created as a stand-alone list. I assume it was converted to a redirect as the list failed WP:NLIST, but the redirect target (a) does not currently contain the section this article tries to redirect to, (b) at least from a quick look around the time this article was set up to point to a specific section, did not contain that section at that time either, and (c) would not actually provide useful information for someone looking for a list of keys on a standard US keyboard anyway.

As such, I think this redirect should just be deleted; the only thing it does is cause confusion for the (presumably very few) users who – like me – ended up there after a web search and thought there might be useful info (the redirect page is the highlighted result, at least for me, of a Bing search for "104 vs 105 keyboard"). —me_and 10:40, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Revans Institute[edit]

I came across these redirects from a rather confusing hatnote at Revans University. However, my confusion was not alleviated by the target articles. Revans is not even mentioned there!

North-South divide in Scotland[edit]

This redirect targets a section that has presumably been deleted. There is some discussion of a north-south divide in Scotland in Geography of Scotland#Political Geography so it could be retargeted to that section, not sure if anyone has any better ideas (potentially North-south divide in the United Kingdom but this article seems to discuss a divide between southern England and the rest of the UK, rather than more localised divides within the countries themselves).

Ukrainian Revolution of 2013[edit]

There wasn't any 'Ukrainian revolution of 2013', so this seems to be an implausible misnomer. The revolution happened in 2014, and we have an article on it, Revolution of Dignity. The question is, do we delete this redirect, redirect it to Revolution of Dignity (as a potential typo), or leave it tied to the article on the Euromaidan movement, which does include 2013 events (though they were not yet a revolution at that stage)? RGloucester — ☎ 04:04, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Both articles’ intros support the idea that the protests led to the revolution, and one could conceive of the two as a four-month “revolution.” As a reader following the link is expecting an article about something that started in 2013, I would prefer keeping the redirect as is, but I’m also fine with changing it to the other. —Michael Z. 17:24, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I lean toward deletion per WP:XY: Euromaidan was not (generally described by reliable sources as) a revolution, and the Revolution of Dignity did not take place in 2013, so it's not obvious which of the two directions to correct in. However, it's at least a closer to match to the latter (to which Ukrainian Revolution of 2014 redirects, and which does characterize a build-up starting in 2013), so my second choice would be a retarget there. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 15:02, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Elmezzi Graduate School of Molecular Medicine[edit]

Support possible restoration/rewrite of the article that was here. The redirect target, Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, does not mention the graduate institution. A second article on the institution under an old name, Picower Graduate School Of Molecular Medicine, was recently discovered, and I've given it some basic information to update (and possibly move to this title which is the current name).

  • Comment the nomination statement is completely irrelevant to whether a redirect should exist. The sourced target section that had (apparently uncontroversially) been in the article since August 2019 was removed from the article by the nominator without discussion, with an identical rationale, four minutes before the nomination here. Thryduulf (talk) 18:10, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    For context here is the deleted section https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Streaming_media&diff=1075598893&oldid=1074993941. I also don’t believe that a section that at fave value appears to be decently sourced and has stood for over a year and and half should have been removed without discussion unless there was a very good reason (and no I don’t consider the nominators assertion that the impact is negligible to be one). I would recommend closing this, restoring the section, the nominator open a discussion to remove the section on the article talk page and, if a consensus to remove is formed to remove the relevant info then ask for the redirect to be deleted.--65.93.195.118 (talk) 21:25, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I see the reposed above mine to be contesting the removal so I readied the section. I reiterate that this should be closed since I see a discussion on the articles talk page as the first step if the nominator believes that that subject shouldn’t be covered.--65.93.195.118 (talk) 21:33, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment OK I doubt I will bother with the article which is about "media" but I think the redirect should be deleted as I understand "music" to mean just sound not video. As you know sound takes up minimal space and transmission capacity compared to video. Chidgk1 (talk) 06:32, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sound is a subset of media, and redirecting a narrow search term to a broader article is usually unproblematic, especially when, as here, that article includes directly relevant content. Thryduulf (talk) 22:22, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Cabbages are a subset of agriculture but we don't have a redirect called "greenhouse gas emissions from cabbages" to Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture, because their emissions are negligible. Chidgk1 (talk) 05:48, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        No, we don't have that redirect because there is no content about the search term at the target. Whether the emissions from cabbages are negligible or not is completely irrelevant to the redirect. Thryduulf (talk) 02:10, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Will probably expand it later. jonas (talk) 14:30, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:RNEUTRAL. Even though the redirect's title is POV, the article redirects to a more neutral title. Also, the slogan itself may be notable, and could be expanded into an article, per Jonas1015119.2601:647:5800:1A1F:3D52:22A2:17BC:5FC (talk) 18:35, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • DABify. There are a number of very similar proposals that tax the rich, but this slogan is not exclusively used in the context of a vague progressive tax. The slogan has been used in advocacy for a Financial transaction tax and is eerily similar to the Soak The Rich slogan, which redirects to a different location. “Tax the rich” is also used in contexts that don’t relate to the concept of a progressive tax—in the USA, the term is used in some circumstances to advocate for stricter enforcement of tax evasion laws, which is a different concept entirely than a progressive tax in and of itself. The redirect could also be used to point to wealth tax, which seems to be at least one concrete way in which the slogan is consistently used. Dabification would be the most prudent thing to do, since the slogan appears in multiple contexts and there is no one primary use thereof. — Mhawk10 (talk) 18:28, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cyclus (geometry)[edit]

I'm a bit confused here. I can't find any instances of the term "cyclus" being used in geometry in any language, at least from Google Books and other sources. There's this etymological dictionary that indicates a circle or the revolution of a celestial object, which is I guess is similar to "turn" but seems really obscure/archaic and is likely more astronomy-related than geometry. There's also this, which uses it in a German quote that seems to mean something like "the [cycle] of my work in the field of analytical geometry is complete", not related to angles at all. Of note is that the dab page Cyclus does not mention this either, nor does the Turn (angle) article in all of the languages I checked. eviolite (talk) 04:23, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. The term "cyclus" does seem to be used for something related to angles at https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/icec/536 but that's only one publication and the meaning appears to be somewhat different. I don't think that single usage justifies this redirect. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:26, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Most probably this is nothing new to you, but since it hasn't been mentioned yet, cyclus is Latin for cycle. At least in Europe, Latin was the lingua franca of sciences, including mathematics, therefore Latin terms are often of historical relevance in many science contexts even if they are not widely used any more. I weakly remember that I have seen this term being used to describe the equivalent of a full angle in an old book, but unfortunately don't remember which book it was exactly. However, it is a reasonable redirect, abbreviations cyc. or cyl. (although today derived from cycle) are in the article. So, for as long as it isn't confused with another topic or is in the way of another article, keep per WP:RKEEP #3 #5 #6. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 17:35, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep any that are mentioned, which shows an affinity with the given language. -- Tavix (talk) 00:38, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Tavix: I don't believe that is at all the case for most of those. For example, this is the sentence that mentions most of them in History of chess: Thus, the game came to be called ludus scacchorum or scacc(h)i in Latin, scacchi in Italian, escacs in Catalan, échecs in French (Old French eschecs); schaken in Dutch, Schach in German, szachy in Polish, šahs in Latvian, skak in Danish, sjakk in Norwegian, schack in Swedish, šakki in Finnish, šah in South Slavic languages, sakk in Hungarian and şah in Romanian. This does not at all prove affinity with these languages as the article is just listing them with no elaboration on any in particular, and the entire paragraph is also unsourced. eviolite (talk) 01:52, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    These are good illustrations of how the evolution of the game affected the naming across these languages (and it is a fascinating thing to map!) I have a very low bar for keeping WP:RFFLs as long as no other issue presents itself, given that they are useful for speakers of the language and those studying where the language and the term in question overlap.

Decke[edit]

I cannot see how this redirect makes sense; it's tagged as {{R from alternative language}}, but it seems wikt:Decke refers to covering cloths and ceilings/roofs rather than any musical term; the dewiki article for the target is de:Korpus (Musikinstrument) (not Decke). It was created as part of Wikipedia:Music encyclopedia topics/10, but that does not provide any insight. eviolite (talk) 23:40, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is one incoming link that uses it in this context. However, there is no mention at target, and quick searching hasn't turned up much evidence that this term has historically been used for Callao.

Drawsko (jezioro)[edit]

These redirect pages have the parenthetical disambiguator "jezioro" (Polish for lake). While they do lead to lakes in Poland, I do not think a disambiguator in a foreign language will be a common search term for readers of the English Wikipedia, and indeed these largely have few pageviews. eviolite (talk) 04:34, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rename I agree with the nominator that a parenthetical disambiguator in Polish doesn't make sense in the English Wikipedia. However, the first three of these terms are ambiguous without disambiguation, therefore we should create redirects using our common " (lake)" disambiguator (or even better, since it would preserve and value the initial editor's contribution, rename (without leaving a redirect behind) the existing redirects accordingly). The last three of these redirects do not (currently) need a disambiguation at all, however, if there is a risk that there are other terms making them ambiguous and therefore we might have to disambiguate these terms in the future, we should proactively create " (lake)" redirects for them as well (marked with {{R from currently unnecessary disambiguation}}), so that links don't have to be changed again and to catch links when someone would routinely use the WP:Pipe trick for lake names like [[LakeName (lake)|]]:
Drawsko (lake) → Drawsko Lake
Gwiazda (lake) → Gwiazda Lake
Dąbrowa Wielka (lake) → Great Dąbrowa

Computerwoche (0170-5121)[edit]

No reason to have an ISSN in redirect titles (implausible and unnecessary disambiguation), especially as the publication in question does not have a standalone enwiki page. eviolite (talk) 04:19, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. "Computerwoche" ("Computer week") and "Computerwelt" ("Computer world") are German titles of publications which in the US are called "Computerworld". Therefore we don't need a separate article about "Computerwoche" and the redirect to "Computerworld" is perfectly accurate. However, there were/are 46 different parallel editions of this publication internationally, some running under the same name, some under similar names, and some even under rather different names. They have some common contents but also country-/language-specific contents and they obviously firm under different ISSNs. In citations, we often link to specific publications rather than only by name. In this case, the different editions of Computerworld and Computerwoche have a common origin (so the corresponding redirects point to the same page), but often enough there are even identically named journals, magazines or newspapers which have nothing at all in common except for the name. In both cases, such similarly or identically named publications need some disambiguation so that they can be linked to specifically and distinguished in reverse lookup ("WhatLinksHere"). In the case of periodicals we quite often use the ISSN as parenthetical disambiguator. So, it is perfectly okay to use the ISSN here as well. In addition to this, we also need to distingish between publications named "Computerwoche" and the (former) company named Computerwoche GmbH. So, for proper linking the disambiguation is necessary.
--Matthiaspaul (talk) 06:31, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Matthiaspaul: I highly doubt any of the other publications/entities known as Computerwoche besides the original German one are notable; there aren't even any articles in dewiki. I can find no evidence that this (or any) redirect with ISSN is helpful; we don't have ISBN redirects for the same reason. I only found one previous RfD for a ISSN-disambiguated page here; though it was from 2009, it closed as Delete.
For the record, I believe this is a complete list of redirects with ISSN as a disambiguator in parentheses:
List
It is possible that I missed some where both the first and second part of the ISSN start with 1 or 2 as it is difficult to differentiate these from date ranges. In any case, all of these have vanishingly little pageviews (10-30 over all time, each) and have no incoming links. If there's consensus to delete this one, all of these should probably be bundled in another nomination. eviolite (talk) 17:14, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Altgrad[edit]

Same as Bogengrad below: unnecessary WP:RLOTE from German. eviolite (talk) 04:12, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I could agree with the nominator's rationale if this would be a redirect from an "average" foreign language word. However, it is the name of a measurement unit, and therefore it is important to be accurate and to help keeping specific terms in sync regardless of language. A straight-forward literal translation of the term would result in "old grade" and therefore would not be helpful to find the relevant info. This redirect is helpful to reliably forward people running into this term in the (older) scientific and mathematical literature to the relevant contents in our encylopedia. WP:R#KEEP #3 and #5 apply. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 04:41, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As additional explanation for those who do not have the international perspective:
Altgrad is a (meanwhile almost historical) term used for what is otherwise just called Grad in Germany (but degré in France), typically firming under the label "DEG" on electronic calculators. It was introduced to distinguish it from the Neugrad (grade nouveau), which is meanwhile also called gon and grad in English (and grade in France), designated as "GRAD" or "GRD" on calculators. As you can see, the seemingly simple term [G/g]rad, even if narrowing the scope of use to angular units only (so we rule out °C, °F, °DIN and many other uses), is highly ambiguous to an international audience and can mean completely different things in different contexts. On top of this, the literal translation of Altgrad would result in "old grade", not degree. Therefore, it is important to be specific and to make it as difficult as possible for users to confuse the units when they run into them in the (older) literature.

Steel1943 (talk) 14:14, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I think, the redirect is helpful to anyone of our international audience capable of reading German scientific or mathematical literature. People, who are multilingual, read books for the information in them regardless of language and place of publication, and in the case of historical works they have no choice but to read them in their original language, anyway. They probably don't have problems reading the formulas, but might have problems to understand the prose. As an international encyclopedia for anyone, it is our duty to make information as easily and reliably accessible to anyone as possible. That's why it is important that they find the correct information about degrees when they enter Altgrad into our search engine. We can't and shouldn't do this for any average word, but I consider it important to do it in this case because it is the very purpose of measurement units to be understood globally (that's why many of the modern units (although not this older one) have identical or at least very similar names in different languages, sometimes even codified in the standards or specifications definining them).
In regard to WP:RLOTE, I consider this case to be on a middle ground between what is appropriate and what is not, so it is up for us to decide. The question we have to ask is if the redirect can be helpful at least to some users, or not. I found it useful and not to be in the way of any potentially to be created article. Also, its existence cannot cause any kind of confusion, there are no "false friends" in other languages. Since WP:RLOTE is only an explanatory supplement, not a guideline, I consider our guideline WP:R#KEEP #3 and #5 to have priority here.

Brageirac (vila)[edit]

While the name of the commune is in the native Occitan, the disambiguator "vila" does not appear to be in English, French, or Occitan (rather Portuguese/Galician/Catalan), so is inappropriate for a redirect.

Electric Universe (physics)[edit]

There is no mention at all of "Electric Universe" at the target article "Plasma Cosmology".

Discussion at the Talk page of the target article also suggested that there is no direct link. Feline Hymnic (talk) 20:56, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: It is probably more accurate to say that discussion on the target talk page suggested that there was no link verifiable by reliable sources, but it amounts to much the same thing. If we can't source a linkage between the subjects, we can't discuss it. And if we can't discuss it, we shouldn't leave readers wondering why the redirect exists. AndyTheGrump (talk) 21:21, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep: The redirect was created when Electric Universe was deleted in 2007. There are very few reliable sources for either EU or Plasma Cosmology, and both are very WP:FRINGE. Evidence that the redirect should exist: the plasma cosmology people say they're the same (not a reliable source, except that the people who still care about this idea claim they're related), and a one-liner from Forbes (noting their "absurd conflict with observations" in an article about various alternatives to the big bang). What we don't want is the redirect replaced with an actual article: that would be a much worse outcome. - Parejkoj (talk) 23:51, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, or rename to Electric Universe (pseudoscience). From all I was able to find on this, this term refers to one or even several plasma cosmology "theories", which are all esotheric and outside of normal science. However, as an encyclopedia we have a duty to remain neutral on this and just document what is, not "is" in the meaning of that it is scientifically backed up (which it is not), but in the sense that the term exists and is used by (some) people out there - and the fact that the term is in use in certain circles (since apparently the 1960s) can be easily checked using Google. According to one book cover, it is a variant of plasma cosmology, so a redirect flagged with {{R to related}} appears to be appropriate. My point is, we are not doing our readers a service when we do not have an entry for this term at all as people might run into it in the net or elsewhere and expect to find more on it in Wikipedia, and the minimum service we can do is to direct them to the most closely related content we have. Ideally, the term should be briefly mentioned in the target article, but this is not a requirement for redirects to exist, they just need to be helpful. Even if all we can or want to say about the topic is that it is esotheric and pseudoscience related to plasma cosmology, we are already doing our readers an important service instead of passing the opportunity to educate them and leave them clueless about it at all. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 12:48, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Erin Sheehan[edit]

Deletion; page created unnecessary confusion. Page stats reveal that people are not searching for this obscure survivor of a crime. KidAd • SPEAK 20:26, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's fine. If we determine here there shouldn't be a redirect to the Virginia tech page, then the politician page should be moved by default. Or we could decide to disambiguate at the base name. If kept as is, though, a hatnote should be added, and a future RM could always then address the ptopic question. Mdewman6 (talk) 22:49, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Revert per WP:BLAR and send to AfD. There is a mention of Erin Sheehan in the Norris Hall shootings section of the target, but it's a single mention with the sole purpose of attributing a quote so nowhere near enough to anchor a redirect. I'm almost certain that AfD will delete the sub-stub about them, but it is not speediable and has not been discussed so it cannot be deleted here. Add a hatnote to the politician from the restored article and mentioned them at the AfD so the closer will know to move that article if/when the shooting survivor's article is deleted. Thryduulf (talk) 14:58, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    I do not share your opinion that former articles must be speediable to be deleted here. If there is consensus to delete, that is all that is needed. -- Tavix (talk) 18:20, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    And you have never been able to explain how this is compatible with the deletion policy and guidelines like WP:BLAR, so I don't expect you to be able to this time (but I can hope), but it helps the closer and any editors unfamiliar with RfD to articulate that it is contrary to policy. Thryduulf (talk) 18:35, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Certainly, this is the most fundamental principle of WP:RFD: 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. This is a potentially problematic redirect, so after a week or more of discussion, if there is consensus to delete it will be deleted (and then Erin Sheehan (politician) can be moved there). I actually don't see how WP:BLAR is relevant with this redirect. It explains what happens when there is disagreement with the blanking of an article, but I don't see anyone actually arguing that the Virigina Tech Erin Sheehan should have an article so there is no disagreement here. -- Tavix (talk) 18:53, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It may be fine to reach consensus here that the redirect should not be kept, and then perform a round-robin move that would maintain the history of the blanked article, however, in that case the page history with the previous article would be at an inappropriate title (the article's subject was not, to my knowledge, a politician) and could not easily be restored for that reason. Therefore, it would be best the redirect be deleted first in that case, and I tend to agree with Thryduulf that in most cases of a past BLAR deletion is a decision best reached at AfD. Mdewman6 (talk) 01:24, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well no, it would not be fine to perform a round-robin move that places the Virginia Tech Erin Sheehan at an inappropriate title. Instead, we can keep the edit history of this redirect by suppress moving the redirect to eg. Erin Sheehan (Virginia Tech) (and keeping it as a redirect to the VT shooting!) and then the politician can be moved to the base title. I also agree that a WP:BLAR disagreement is best adjudicated at AfD. However, I maintain that WP:BLAR is inapplicable here because no such disagreement has presented itself here. Restoring former articles that no one is advocating for lead to silly and unnecessary AfDs that could have easily been taken care of at RfD. -- Tavix (talk) 01:37, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Right, moving the redirect to an acceptable alternative, disambiguated title to make way for the obvious primary topic would certainly be superior to having the history at the wrong subject. Mdewman6 (talk) 05:09, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Twin Peaks (Salt Lake County, Utah) (disambiguation)[edit]

No longer needed - the target is now a set index article and there are no incoming links. Leschnei (talk) 15:10, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep since a set index performs the same function as a disambiguation page, and this redirect can be used to explicitly link to it. Mdewman6 (talk) 17:41, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Mdewman6. The only reason set indexes are separate from disambiguation pages is overly-rigid formatting rules for the latter, and we cannot expect anyone to predict which of the two a given page will be technically described as. Thryduulf (talk) 14:01, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, no purpose remains. Twin Peaks (Salt Lake County, Utah) has been merged to Twin Peaks (disambiguation)#Utah to resolve the WP:INCOMPDAB issue. The double disambiguation is implausible as a search term, and because the separate page no longer exists it should not be used for linking purposes. -- Tavix (talk) 03:34, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The doubly qualified redirect is useful only for a wikilink referring collectively to all places called Twin Peaks in Salt Lake County, Utah. No article does that, and it's unlikely that one ever will. Some SIAs do have (disambiguation) redirects, but in this case the target is now a dab section and there is no longer an SIA to target.

Wikipedia:BC[edit]

This page should be made a disambiguation page, for the reason that I outline for other redirects (edited) of this ilk: undue focus (to quote another RfD commentor) on a niche WikiProject, when there are a few other pages (like WP:Bureaucrats) that can also fit this acronym. Even though the Brit. Col. WikiProject is not as dormant as others, it is still not fairly accommodating all navigators of this redirect. NotReallySoroka (talk) 06:11, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose per all my comments at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 February 13#MS and Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 February 12#EE. Unless you can show some evidence of this redirect being actually (not theoretically) problematic (for example by a significant proportion of links being intended for a different target than the current one) then there is only harm and no benefit from change. Thryduulf (talk) 10:59, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disambiguate, but not per the nominator, who has failed to advance any convincing rationale for why this should be disambiguated. Potential ambiguity is not on it's own a sufficient reason to break incoming links, nor are vague assertions that the target is niche. The whole point of shortcut redirects is to provide a quick way of navigating to pages, disambiguation essentially destroys a large part of the utility of them. This should be disambiguated because it originally targeted WP:Bootcamp, and was widely used in welcome templates for new users before being retargeted to point at the wikiproject, in fact WT:BC still points to the old place. Doing a spot check of incoming links to this redirect suggests to me that a significant proportion of them (certainly several thousand) are supposed to be targeting the help page. 192.76.8.70 (talk) 11:48, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    There's no anchor for the paragraph Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) at Nancy Thompson (A Nightmare on Elm Street); this current target article discusses the topic. The rationale for keeping the redirect is the same, the target is different. It should keep pointing to the Nancy article. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 03:30, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    What you are saying here makes no sense. Both redirects should go to the same target, yet on one you !vote retarget, and on the other you vote keep. Would you please clarify what you are voting for? Paradoctor (talk) 06:35, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    This redirect contains "character", and the target is a fictional character article discussing the fictional Heather. The other redirect is missing "character" and could equally refer to the actress herself instead of her fictionalized version, thus should target the movie, since both are equially represented there under the topic of "Wes Craven's New Nightmare" instead of "Wes Craven's New Nightmare character". The "character" redirect thus justifiably redirects to a character article, where a variant of that character occurs with the name "Heather" in a paragraph of coverage. The "character"-less redirect should point to the film article, as it could be referring to the real-ife actress as well as the fictionalized actress character, and thus points to the film article where both occur in the context of that movie. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 14:16, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    If "Heather Langenkamp (Wes Craven's New Nightmare)" could also refer to the actress, it would be ambiguous between the real actress and the fictional actress. If the real actress is the primary meaning, the redirect should point to Heather Langenkamp. If the fictional actress is the primary, it should point to the same target as the other redirect, as both are about the the fictional actress.
    Either way, it should not point to the Nancy article. Subtopic redirects go to their supertopic, not other articles excerpting the supertopic. Paradoctor (talk) 15:36, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Although the nomination gives no proper reason, delete, unless we have a pattern of creating disambiguated redirects of actors to their character roles. I believe this redirect has been disambiguated to distinguish the fictionalized character from the person Heather Langenkamp, and we already have Heather Langenkamp (Wes Craven's New Nightmare) that does that.

Kevin Sellers[edit]

The redirect was created less than 2 hours after deletion via this RfD by a voter who had opposed deletion. I am nominating it as a fresh RfD for Deletion as I was not sure if it could be tagged as a WP:G4 (as the target is now different). The current target was brought up at the previous RfD, but there ware no opinions about it, and the redirect was deleted irrespective of the merits of the current target. Jay (talk) 07:38, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Two of the delete votes at the earlier RfD were to facilitate uninhibited search results, and three (including the nomination) were because of no mention at the then target Murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German.

Russian land[edit]

I think this should point at Territorial evolution of Russia, as this target covers the full expanse of "Russian land". My understanding is that the prior targeting is based on the etymological origin of Ruthenia as "Land of the Rus", but that is not equivalent to "Russian land" (see Names of Rus', Russia and Ruthenia for the history of these terms), nor is the latter phrase mentioned at the target, and the equation of "Russian land" with Ruthenia is arguably in line with fringe Russian irredentist POVs. Ruthenia is briefly mentioned at the target I am suggesting, so anyone that is indeed looking for Ruthenia will still find their way to what they are looking for. signed, Rosguill talk 16:48, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, User:Rosguill, Russian land has nothing to do with Russia, this is a confusion. 'Russian land' (Руська земля) means the same as Rus' (region) which is synonyms with Ruthenia. And Ruthenia is not mentioned at the target you are suggesting, Carpathian Ruthenia is, but Carpathian Ruthenia is only small part of Ruthenia. Other parts are Ukraine and Belarus. There is no consensus between scolars whether to include Russia in Ruthenia (Russian land), although most of them include it too. --Heanor (talk) 16:58, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Surveying English academic texts does not support your translation/interpretation: this text uses "Russian Land" to refer to territory in the Urals, this text uses the term to refer to Muscovy, and the majority of the results use the term to talk about "Russian land reform", "Russian land acquisition", "Russian Land Commune" etc. (i.e. things to do with the land of the Russian Empire or Federation). A more fluent and contemporary translation of Руська земля would be Rus'ian land, as in [20], [21], [22]. signed, Rosguill talk 17:06, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    As for whether the target includes a link to content about the Rus' and Ruthenia, there's also this line in the first section: For the history of Rus' and Moscovy before 1547 (see Kievan Rus' and Grand Duchy of Moscow). signed, Rosguill talk 17:08, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Completely agree with you that Rus'ian land is a more fluent and better term, but the difference with 'Russian land' is so small that I propose to mark it a {{R avoided double redirect}} of Rus'ian land. --Heanor (talk) 17:23, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    My concern is that given the basic semantic meaning of the term "Russian land", readers could potentially search that trying to learn about Russia itself, and even peer-reviewed publications use the phrase that way, per my evidence above. I think that pointing to Territorial evolution of Russia and adding a hatnote at the top pointing to Ruthenia and Names of Rus', Russia and Ruthenia would be the most effective way to ensure that everybody finds what they're looking for. signed, Rosguill talk 17:27, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    That is a very good point. But this is a proper name and the current redirect represents our best article representing the subject. Russia is prominently linked and discussed in the target article. Maybe it needs a hat note? —Michael Z. 16:42, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep 
    Historic core of Rus'.png
    “Russian Land” is a dated or POV translation of Ru. russkaia zemlia, Uk. rusʼka zemlia, OES rusĭskaiȩ zemliȩ, more precisely rendered as Rus Land. In the Kyivan Rus period it was considered to be the lands around Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Pereiaslav, or sometimes more broadly as all of Kyivan Rus. This is not controversial: here’s a map based on three historians’ estimates: w:ru:Насонов, Арсений Николаевич, Boris Rybakov, and Petro Tolochko). Starting from the Muscovy period the term came to be used in Moscow to refer to its lands. Perhaps this proper name should be moved to capitalized Russian Land. —Michael Z. 00:32, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I wonder if starting a stub article Rus Land already might be less work and more productive than concluding this discussion? —Michael Z. 16:43, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Beckton Riverside[edit]

Reason #10: "If the redirect could plausibly be expanded into an article, and the target article contains virtually no information on the subject." This redirect is used to have something to link to, as if Wikipedia had any useful information on this planned DLR station.

But we don't. Much better to delete the redirect and unlink until linking gives a reader something useful. CapnZapp (talk) 12:43, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Beckton Riverside DLR station and Beckton Riverside station are separate redirects (that I'm about to nominate on today's page), this redirect should target information about the development the proposed station would serve that either has a link to or contains information about the proposed station, however I can't find any article that currently has any such information. Thryduulf (talk) 16:23, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Given the development proposed in the next 10/20 years in the area (see here) I think an article may emerge in the future - but for now, Beckton seems a reasonable place to link the redirect. Could always stick a line in the Beckton article, if you'd like. Turini2 (talk) 20:00, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: User:Turini2 I hope you understand that it is precisely because the target article does not contain any useful on "Beckton Riverside" I have nominated the redirect for deletion. In other words, it is the opposite of "reasonable" to redirect readers to articles that add nothing useful. If the article does contain significant information ten years from now, you are welcome to then recreate the redirect (or even flesh it out as a stand-alone article) but please do not consider "gaming the system" by adding content to Beckton solely to justify keeping the redirect.

Of course, when and if useful info can be found. However, I was responding to Turini2's comment - I am talking about the (hypothetical) case where editors make an effort to mention the redirected term for the chief purpose of not having to delete a redirect, not for the purpose of actually bringing the reader useful information. Anyway, this discussion is well and good, but there still is nothing on the Beckton page about Beckton Riverside, and we don't create redirects "for future use". CapnZapp (talk) 09:51, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well we do create {{R with possibilities}} redirects for future use, but they should still take the reader to some relevant content in the meanwhile.

Myall Creek[edit]

Suggest to disambiguate or move Myall Creek, New South Wales here or redirect to Myall Creek, New South Wales. The 2014 RFD seemed correct to target the massacre but since then an article about the town has been created.

Civil court[edit]

Civil courts do much more than hear lawsuits. I recall that when I changed my name there were something like 30 options on the form, and only 2 or 3 involved lawsuits. An article that explains that fairly well, if too briefly, is Civil law (common law). I think it would be better to retarget there. The other concern with this redirect is that it could be ambiguous with a court operating under Civil law (legal system), but the proposed target links to the DAB Civil law, so I think that handles that. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 11:16, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Seems to be clear agreement that the status quo is unsatisfactory, but no clear consensus between retargeting, deletion, and disambiguation.

I don't object to Extraordinary Writ's suggestion, although I'd still prefer my own. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 05:04, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A separate disambiguation page, as Thryduulf proposes, would be acceptable as well, I think. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 19:40, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Having thought more about this, I think a dedicated disambiguation page, linking to but separate from, Cvil law would be the best. Thryduulf (talk) 15:12, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Double-redirect[edit]

If these article-space redirects should exist, they should both lead to the same target. The problem is that neither of the current targets is appropriate - the disambiguation page at Redirect doesn't mention double redirects at all, and the project-space page is not something that is aimed at or particularly useful for readers or very new editors. I think I favour deletion, but pointing both at the article-space page is better than two XNRs. Thryduulf (talk) 13:46, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep' double redirect, common word on Wikipedia, less common elsewhere, points the readers at the right page. Don't care much about what happens to the hyphenated version, retargetting to Wikipedia space or deletion both seem acceptable. —Kusma (talk) 14:16, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: WP:Cross-namespace redirects, although only an essay, has some interesting points to consider. I was disappointed to find that Double redirect doesn't redirect autologically to Wikipedia:Double redirect as suggested above. Certes (talk) 18:42, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Retarget the first to the second's target. Both can be used as shortcuts on talk pages. Some editors might use the hyphen, some won't. These should be retained as long-term shortcuts under the consensus described at WP:XNR. P.I. Ellsworth - ed. put'r there 14:56, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget Double redirect to Redirect or weak delete both. The value of these redirects as WP:XNRs is questionable. At the present time, Redirect contains a hatnote directing readers to go to Wikipedia:Redirect for the policy if they arrived at Redirect erroneously; if anything, the setup of having these redirects target Redirect with the hatnote at the top of the page will help new readers understand how the "Wikipedia:" namespace versus the article namespace work, specifically in regards to using the "Wikipedia:" prefix to reach pages in the "Wikipedia:" namespace and learn to navigate Wikipedia using the prefix when applicable. Absent of that ... delete them both to allow the search results to populate appropriate articles (which honestly isn't helpful ... but is more helpful than WP:XNRs) and the fact that "Double redirect" is not an exact match for the title "Redirect"; the former option (retargeting Double redirect to Redirect) is probably more helpful.

    Eh ... the more I read my statement, the more I don't know. I guess I'll just accept that I don't know and bow out, but anyone is free to read my struck out statement if they want to contemplate the stance. Steel1943 (talk) 23:05, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete both We shouldn't have redirects to project space, and there is no good reason to make this an exception. If someone has a good article space target, I might change my mind, but I seriously doubt that one exists. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 05:05, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete all per Oiyarbepsy. Veverve (talk) 10:07, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete both: Redirects should not exist from mainspace to Wikipedia namespace. Double-redirect is probably not an useful search term for the casual Wikipedia reader. I don't find it in pages listed under the Redirect disambiguation. ---CX Zoom(he/him) (let's talk|contribs) 17:22, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to URL redirection#Redirect chains per Mx. Granger as the place in mainspace that talks about this topic. As for Godsy's concern that the article section doesn't explicitly mention the term: if a reader searches for "double redirect" and they're taken to a section whose title is "Redirect chains" and whose first sentence is "One redirect may lead to another", then I don't see how they may be confused. – Uanfala (talk) 01:24, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:R#DELETE #10, not mentioned at the target, appears to be independently notable based on the deWiki article. signed, Rosguill talk 18:40, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, per WP:RFOREIGN and WP:R#KEEP #3. As covered in the dewiki article, this was the code name of most of the branch or field offices of the Federal Intelligence Service from its founding and until 2014. This means that a large number of such offices throughout Germany had a "Federal Office for Telecommunications Statistics" sign and were listed as such in directories, while they were in fact "Federal Intelligence Service" stations. This might qualify for an independent article on the English Wikipedia, but this is not certain as the German Wikipedia assumes every formal federal office is notable. This is a plausible search term for the organization, as anyone who searches for this name, which was a name officially used by the organisation, would be searching for the Federal Intelligence Service.
