• Accueil → wikt:accueil  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I don't think we need wiktionary redirects for any non-English words. Pinging Phil Bridger who's objected to an earlier, unrelated speedy tag on this redirect. – Uanfala (talk) 23:44, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and wait. The pageviews for this redirect are significantly higher than the usual new redirect so I believe that this is the best option. — J947 ^[cont] 00:00, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is my impression that all newly created articles receive comparable pageviews (that's a soft redirect, so if I'm not mistaken it ends up on the article (rather than redirect) queue at NPP), and that's probably been compounded by the A1/A3 speedy–unspeedy back-and-forth. – Uanfala (talk) 00:08, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Non-English words going to Wikitionary? Sounds like it'd get really problematic really fast.

• Untitled Doctor Strange sequel → Doctor Strange (2016 film)#Sequel  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Recently listed on April 5 and closed as no consensus. This was based mainly on Steel1943's arguments in which they said notice how Untitled Doctor Strange sequel targets a section: That's because there is both no article and no title for the subject yet. This is untrue. The Doctor Strange sequel is titled Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and while that also isn't an article yet (it's in the draft space), having the "untitled" redirect is no longer necessary. I regrettably did not have the April 5 page on my watch list, otherwise, I would have presented this info then. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 22:28, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not an official name of the target article. Also, it looks as though this title was created due to an undiscussed move which was reverted shortly after the move was performed. Steel1943 (talk) 18:28, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak refine to Megan Wants a Millionaire#Cancellation, since this section discusses the events leading to the cancellation of the show after five episodes; weak delete if that doesn't work. Regards, SONIC678 18:38, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - All television programs must come to an end at some point. We shouldn't open up the can of worms that is allowing '____ ____ cancelled' for various entities. Deletion is totally the right call. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 23:57, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as confusing. Which millionaire does Megan want cancelled? It says nothing about that in the article. Is it some sort of euphemism? Narky Blert (talk) 05:20, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I'll check if Megan Wants a Millionaire Cancellation exists and create it if it doesn't. Sure this could open a can of worms, but I'd rather have a redirect that makes grammatical sense as to what it is talking about open a can than a redirect where how the word cancelled is used can make little to no sense.

• Delete. A typo redir for an internal-use template isn't particularly useful to retain. If kept, then retarget back to {{R from modification}}, obviously. I don't recall changing that nor why; I think it was simply an error on my part. Probably editing in the wrong tab or something. It certainly doesn't represent an alternative spelling, nor a legit other modification; it's just a flat-out typo. The original redirect appears to have been created so that someone who typed the template name wrong wouldn't have to fix it, and I can't see that being much of a utility rationale for keeping this thing. This isn't comparable to keeping common typos for actual encyclopedia subjects.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  11:12, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete – PUA characters, by definition, are reserved for private assignment and cannot have a fixed definition and therefore a fixed target. And certainly no need for 130,000 more redirects of this sort. ComplexRational (talk) 17:55, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    • @1234qwer1234qwer4: Hmm. I'm doubtful of their utility because we don't have a fixed codechart or other means of ascribing one specific target (unlike most {{R from unicode character}} redirects), and redirecting them all to Private Use Areas would have limited utility. But that would be another discussion, perhaps at another venue, if you believe their value should also be discussed.

          • @Shhhnotsoloud: In this scenario I believe that G6 is effectively a lower version of CRD. These redirects pass CRD easily so I don't see how they can be construed to fail G6. — J947 ^{(user | cont | ess)}, at 19:10, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep all per RHARMFUL, a good common-sense rule that gets so frequently disobeyed. Each of the redirects also has their own reason to keep.
  • Cult moive has nice views and thus is very helpful to readers.
  • MTV Moive & TV Award for Best Performance in a TV Show is helpful as per K4; the article was at this title for 24 days fairly recently.
  • North by Northwest (moive) is interesting as Rosguill said; it is also a feature of a complicating moving/merging manoeuvre and we don't want page history to break even more.
• Most importantly, none of these redirects cause much harm at all and that should be the binding principle of RfD. — J947 ^{(user | cont | ess)}, at 19:32, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all - I don't have strong opinions on the matter, but I'm inclined to think that these really aren't that helpful. The non-word "moive" is so weird and visually arresting in the first place... people who type this in are likely to immediately self-correct. Really, deletion seems to be the right call.

• Keep all. The first two are simple, highly plausible typos, and are completely and utterly harmless. The third one contains that typo in a word that's not needed in the first place, so it DID strike me as less plausible, and less worth keeping, but it's had over 100 views in the past 30 days alone (remarkably, that's more than the other two put together), so it's clearly helping a lot of people get where they're trying to go.

• Delete all. RHARMFUL doesn't apply: there's no useful page history and no likely relevant incoming links. DrKay (talk) 16:58, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @DrKay: I'm genuinely confused here. how does RHARMFUL not apply? From the guideline verbatim: Therefore consider the deletion only of either harmful redirects or of recent ones. — J947 ^[cont] 06:25, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • "Therefore". The guideline (not sure what to call it but it doesn't appear to be a guideline) is: the deletion of redirects is harmful when the redirects have substantial edit history or incoming links, therefore only consider deletion where necessary. We don't need to create lots of redirects for typographical errors: type "moive" into the search box, you immediately get "Did you mean: movie" and lots of links with the word "movie" in them. These redirects are pointless: search engines can cope easily with single letter transpositions and direct you to the correct article anyway. DrKay (talk) 11:01, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all If the typo Moive is so un-useful that it has never been created as a redirect, it is difficult to see how the same typo embedded in longer text could possibly be useful to anyone. UnitedStatesian (talk) 15:29, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all. We don't need redirects for random typos such as "Cult moive", especially as it's not even a misspelling of the target's title (Cult film). "MTV..." is a weaker delete as there might possibly be incoming external links, though I can't find any. The final case is a typo for Wikipedia's own internal disambiguator; again the normal qualifier would be "(film)" rather than "(movie)", and this has the strongest case for deletion.

• Retarget to List of Indian state flags. I agree with Narky Blert that it is a plausible search term, but the current target doesn't say anything about flags. The list of state flags explains that there are no current official flags but that when a banner is required the state emblem can be displayed on a white field and displays all of them. I will improve that further by adding direct links to the articles about the emblem as well as the state. Thryduulf (talk) 10:37, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  @CoffeeWithMarkets: The topic feels a bit WP:DICDEFfy for an article, but it might be worth adding a brief description of major vs minor to surgery. They're a bit busy at the moment, but the idea could be raised at WP:Wikiproject Medicine. Narky Blert (talk) 16:04, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• To be clear, whatever happens, I think that we shouldn't delete this, although maybe the target should be changed. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 00:06, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Transport News → Public Transport Commission#Publication  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Appears to be an unlikely search term Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 04:47, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep "Transport News" was the name of a publication issued by the Public Transport Commission and as such is quite likely to be used as a search term and is used in two articles.Fleet Lists (talk) 05:51, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Not ambiguous, links to relevant section of article. Caen5120 (talk) 14:01, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I am un-withdrawing the discussion after a conversation on my talk page. The sentence long mention of "Transport News" was unsuitably referenced by the only source pointing towards its existence is a reference to itself, and is not necessary to have in the article. With that being said, I have gone ahead and removed the one mention and link to Transport News, as it was an unnecessary recently added tangent. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 22:51, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. As for State Wide, the sentence has been reinstated with improved reference - very notable as far as Australia is concerned.Fleet Lists (talk) 01:15, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The only apparent links are links of the magazine's title in citations. It's a non-intuitive/low value redirect for a defunct publication from a defunct organization. The same name is used by other currently publishing magazines, notably Transport News in the U.K. and others that use similar names, e.g., Australasian Transport News and (the recently closed) International Transport News.

• State Wide → State Rail Authority#Publication  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Ambiguous term for state-wide [blank]s, suggesting deletion. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 02:48, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete State Wide was a publication issued by the State Rail Authority#Publication in the nineteen eighties. Hence the redirect to that link from the Devonshire Street Tunnel article which refers to that publication. That article has been changed to go direct to that article instead of using the redirect.Fleet Lists (talk) 03:43, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment, this is interesting – I corrected this typo (maybe not a typo) less than two hours ago. — J947 ^[cont] 05:57, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - I agree. We should simply delete this. Interestingly, 'statewide' doesn't exist. That's more of an ambiguous situation since I believe that multiple business exist by that name, but there's none that I'm aware of called 'state wide'. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 07:35, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Not ambiguous with this capitalisation, and the use is explained in the article section. See WP:SMALLDETAILS. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:04, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Not ambiguous, links to relevant section of article. Caen5120 (talk) 13:53, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Actually, upon some more thought, the capitalization means that this isn't ambiguous. The redirect goes to the correct sub-section in particular. Yes, it's an obscure publication. Yet the redirect unambiguously does its job, so we shouldn't get rid of it. 14:28, 12 April 2020 (UTC) CoffeeWithMarkets (talk)
• Note: Utopes removed the sub-section. — J947 ^[cont] 21:03, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. Apologies, I did not get around to notifying this discussion due to Easter plans. I intended to remove the section before I nominated this redirect for deletion, for the sentence-long section on the publication was an unnecessary tangent from the rest of the article, and was not suitably referenced. The only source provided was that of the article itself, and without any reliable, independent sources for the publication, there is no need to include it in the article. I got ahead of myself when I nominated the redirect for discussion, so I apologize. But the fact of the matter is that the content on this publication was not encyclopedic at best and unnecessary at worst. This is the same case as Transport News, as these were both recently added sentence-long sections about an obscure publication without any proper references. The only difference is that, WP:SMALLDETAILS aside, I can't believe that people searching for "State Wide" are looking for information on an obscure, non-notable publication. There is a case to be made for "Transport News", but we did not have adequate information available for either. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 23:01, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - The publication has been important enough to be detailed in the official government archives and have its own little description here. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 00:20, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - And as such has been reinstated in the article with improved reference - certainly very significant as far as Australia is concerned.Fleet Lists (talk) 01:11, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Matern kernel → Matérn covariance function  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

No mention of "kernel" at the target, and appears to be an unlikely search term. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 02:15, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep This is an alternate name for the the covariance function, often used in machine learning. I have added it to the article, along with a ref. I think this variant, without an accented e, is a likely misspelling for English speakers. Hence, keep. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 10:09, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Windows 94 → Cairo (operating system)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The Microsoft "Cairo" project wasn't known as "Windows 94". Purplneon486 (talk) 11:55, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: I could find no source for "Windows 94" as a name for "Cairo". However, it looks like there was some speculation in 1994 about Chicago being released as "Windows 94". I see no evidence this was considered inside Microsoft, but it was a thing in the press ([3], [4]). --MarioGom (talk) 21:29, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete - The association makes sense, but then I still favor deletion. Minor speculation isn't the same thing as an actual link, and the article mentions as 'Windows 94' nowhere. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 00:09, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to Windows 95 (according to the sources I provided) or delete. The redirection to Cairo is definitely wrong. I could only find references about "Windows 94" as Cairo that used this redirect from Wikipedia as their source. The speculation about Windows 94 as Chicago (later Windows 95) in specialized press in 1994 is quite amusing trivia, but it is a so obscure reference that it is mostly impossible anyone tries to look for "Windows 94" when they meant "Windows 95". --MarioGom (talk) 00:33, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there's this fandom wiki that cites Windows 94 as Cairo without providing any source at all: [5]. But that does not count. --MarioGom (talk) 00:38, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. If someone finds enough sources to add this info to whatever target article, then the redirect should be re-created. --MarioGom (talk) 00:41, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Coral Reefs and Coral Bleaching → Coral bleaching  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

There isn't anything special about this title in particular as it pertains to the subject, so delete per WP:XY. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 00:01, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:XY. Narky Blert (talk) 09:40, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep - The targeted article specifically discusses coral bleaching in the context of the damage to overall coral reefs. See, for example, the particular sub-section: 'Coral_bleaching#Cost_benefit_analysis_of_reducing_loss_of_coral_reefs'. This appears to be mostly appropriate. I'm not sure, but I'm inclined to oppose deletion. I'll maybe invoke WP:IAR over WP:XY in this circumstance. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 11:01, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Probably should be moved back to User:Karenviera10/Chasing Coral as it is a student exercise converted to a redirect to show where they should have edited, if changes were required.
