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 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 to delete a redirect for more information.)

Please do not unilaterally rename or change the target of a redirect while it is under discussion. This adds unnecessary complication to the discussion for participants and closers.

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]
  • 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 to delete a redirect

[edit]

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]

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" (itself a redirect to "Article"), 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, were an exception to this rule until they became their own namespace in 2024. (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. You should check that there is not an alternative place it could be appropriately redirected to first and that it has not become broken through vandalism.
  8. If the redirect is a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name that is not mentioned in the target, 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.
  11. If the redirect ends in "(disambiguation)" but does not target a disambiguation page or a page performing a disambiguation-like function (such as a set index of articles). Speedy deletion criterion G14 may apply.

Reasons for not deleting

[edit]

However, avoid deleting such redirects if:

  1. They have a potentially useful page history, or an edit history that should be kept to comply with the licensing requirements for a merge (see Wikipedia:Merge and delete). On the other hand, if the redirect was created by renaming a page with that name, and the page history just mentions the renaming, and for one of the reasons above you want to delete the page, copy the page history to the Talk page of the article it redirects to. The act of renaming is useful page history, and even more so if there has been discussion on the page name.
  2. They would aid accidental linking and make the creation of duplicate articles less likely, whether by redirecting a plural to a singular, by redirecting a frequent misspelling to a correct spelling, by redirecting a misnomer to a correct term, by redirecting to a synonym, etc. In other words, redirects with no incoming links are not candidates for deletion on those grounds because they are of benefit to the browsing user. Some extra vigilance by editors will be required to minimize the occurrence of those frequent misspellings in article text 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 (e.g. WolVes) and old subpage links, should be left alone in case there are any existing links on external pages pointing to them. Please tag these with {{R from old history}}. 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]

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. ClimategateClimategateClimatic 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 rumorBarack 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 "AttorneygateAttorneygate" is used to redirect to the neutrally titled 2006 dismissal of U.S. attorneys. 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]
STEP I.
Tag the redirect(s).

  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. If it is an inline template, use |showontransclusion=tiny instead.
  • If you are nominating multiple redirects as a group, repeat all the above steps for each redirect being nominated and specify on {{rfd}} the nomination's group heading from Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion
STEP 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.
  • If appropriate, inform members of the most relevant WikiProjects through one or more "deletion sorting lists". Then add a {{subst:delsort|<topic>|<signature>}} template to the nomination, to insert a note that this has been done.
STEP III.
Notify users.

  It is generally considered good practice to notify the creator and main contributors of the redirect(s) that you nominate.

To find the main contributors, look in the page history of the respective redirect(s). 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 respective creator/main contributors' 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.

Ulfcytel's land

[edit]

"Ulfcytel" is not mentioned at the target and without a mention that's confusing. It might be better to delete to enable Search to highlight Ulfcytel. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:15, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's not inherently confusing for older names to not be mentioned, but in this case, the name is sufficiently different and sufficiently old that it might be best to mention it. Ulfcytel says "Scandinavian sources give him the byname "snilling", meaning bold, and called East Anglia "Ulfkell's Land" after him" in the lead and "The contemporary Scandinavian court poet Sigvatr Þórðarson called East Anglia "Ulfkell's Land" after Ulfcytel, and he gave him the byname snilling, meaning valiant or bold" in the body of the article. There is an inline citation at the end of the second one. Why don't you copy a bit of that information and the source over to East Anglia, and then withdraw this nomination?

Anti-China sentiment

[edit]

Retarget to Anti–People's Republic of China sentiment. While the two subjects overlap, China, the country, is a more specific referent, and the People's Republic of China is the primary topic for China. We have two articles to highlight the distinction between antipathy towards the country and its government versus antipathy towards the people and the culture. At the just-closed RM, "Anti-China sentiment" was one of several suggested article titles for Anti–People's Republic of China sentiment that did have some support but was not chosen. Note that Anti-China sentiment was previously moved to Sinophobia, which was then moved to the current title Anti-Chinese sentiment in 2020. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 22:14, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

comment: adding to that, the title also doesn't really define what kind of characters it's listing, regardless of species and series, so it could just be a discriminate list of pretty much everyone ever (swimmer santiago fans rise up), plus a list of pokémon, so even on a fundamental level, this seems to violate wp:xy consarn (grave) (obituary) 19:47, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mexican tortilla

[edit]

Both the target and Flour tortilla originated from Mexico (though the current target was invented first) and the redirect does not seem to be an alternative name for the target. With that being said, delete or weak retarget to Tortilla. (I'm "weak" since I do not see this phrase being a common search term for Tortilla either, given the reader can read these articles to understand their origins; it's almost like saying "Philadelphia Philly cheesesteak sandwich", unnecessary word fluff and/or redundancy.) Steel1943 (talk) 19:20, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to Tortilla. It doesn't seem harmful or obviously redundant. Unlike Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, only people who already know about tortillas would clearly know they originated in Mexico, and the word has an entirely different meaning in Spain. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 01:09, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Horsemen of the Apocalypse (disambiguation)

[edit]

Since the target is a disambiguation page and "Horsemen of the Apocalypse" ≠ "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse", this redirect is a WP:PTM for its target. In addition, the redirect "Horsemen of the ApocalypseHorsemen of the Apocalypse" seems to be the only title match for the nominated redirect, but it's a redirect towards Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the de facto primary topic of the nominated redirect's target page. The only other potential title match is Horseman of Apocalypse, but that can be resolved with a hatnote on Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. So ... delete.

The redirection to Iran–United States relations would be confusing per WP:RFD#DELETE#2—I expect that no editor linking Iran–United States war would be happy to be linking to Iran–United States relations, and no one clicking Iran–United States war would be happy being redirected to Iran–United States relations. I also oppose a disambiguation page: to the best of my knowledge, none of the possible pages that could be mentioned on such a disamb amount to an actual war, so I don't think it would be helpful.

Blue licorice

[edit]

Vernacular name not mentioned at the target. There's also literal blue liquorice, but I was actually looking for the ice cream flavour. The only mention of "blue licorice" of any type is a Simpsons episode, which is not a good target. Cremastra (talk) 21:04, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I created the lowercase one; I was trying to create redirects conforming to Wikipedia's preferred capitalization form when corresponding redirects with other capitalizations already existed. I think 'Blue Licorice' is a cultivar; there are plenty of Google results for nurseries selling seeds when I search for "blue licorice"+Agastache, but some of them say the species is Agastache foeniculum rather than A. rugosum.

The only articles we have on Israeli strikes on Iran are listed at the 2024 Israeli strikes on Iran DAB page. Ditto for the Iranian strikes. What the nom *seems* to be suggesting is that we move those two DAB pages to these titles; Adumbrativus seems to endorse this action. If this is what is being suggested, I don't see why we're at RfD. WP:RM would appear to be the correct venue to suggest such an action. We also don't really need a DAB draft I think, so I'll mark the template as "done" to remove it from the category.

Afghanistan in the Eurovision Song Contest

[edit]

Bundle nomination for a bunch of redirects created for various countries/territories and "in the Eurovision Song Contest". In all cases it links to a section within a list article where said countries are listed in a table of broadcasts by non-participating countries. None of these countries are eligible to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest and all are located outside of the European Broadcasting Area (a key prerequisite to participation). There is no real use to continuing to host these redirects, as they do not constitute a useful search term given the lack of any participation history of the contest within these countries, there is no sizeable information on these countries at the target article bar brief mentions of possible previous broadcasts, and in the grand scheme of things at the present moment it makes no sense to consider that any of these countries could participate in a future edition of the contest.

KEEP as first choice. It is the only location actually called "Westlake, Washington" and is the only usage currently in article space. Second choice is retarget to Westlake#United States but absolutely not to the neighborhood in Seattle, which isn't even the best-known "Westlake" in Seattle!. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 22:03, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Westlake, Seattle which is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for places called Westlake in the state. Westlake, Washington seems like a reasonable search term for the neighborhood. Add a hatnote link to Moses Lake to assist readers looking for the town annexed by Moses Lake. Frank Anchor 14:34, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Changed to keep per the discussion cited below, which I was unaware (thank you Myceteaet for bringing this to my attention). A hatnote should be added for the neighborhood in Seattle as Westlake, Washington is a reasonable search term for that as well. Frank Anchor 03:24, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not so sure of this. I've started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Seattle#Is Westlake, Seattle the primary topic for "Westlake, Seattle"? regarding this and whether the neighborhood is even the primary topic for Westlake, Seattle. This may require further disambiguation. There are several locations in Seattle named "Westlake", mostly located downtown and not in the neighborhood that shares the name. The prior format for the Washington entries at Westlake#United States was incomplete and the Seattle entries, in particular, were misleading. I have edited the DAB page to correct this. The former town that has been annexed by Moses Lake, Washington is the only place that would normally be called Westlake, Washington—the form Neighborhood, State is unheard of—and that is the only referent used currently in article space. Folks reading about municipalities and unincorporated communities in Washington would be astonished to land at an article about a neighborhood in the state's largest city. It should either be kept or retargeted to the DAB. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 21:49, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as a redirect to Moses Lake, Washington. The only incorporated place in Washington is now part of Moses Lake. A person searching for the Seattle neighborhood would more likely omit the state than the city, and it is not the primary use in historical references (which usually point to the incorporated place by default). SounderBruce 17:13, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Westlake#United States. The locations in Seattle would be more well-known over an obscure former municipality. That said, Westlake in Seattle may have various meanings depending on context. As they're all listed at the disambiguation, that'd be the most helpful target for searchers of any Westlakes in Washington. -- Tavix (talk) 03:47, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Common tiger beetle (2)" & "Common tiger beetle"

Nominator comment: This nomination originally listed only Common tiger beetle (2) listed, then I added Common tiger beetle afterwards.

  • Delete Common tiger beetle (2), but no need for a DAB. Point Common tiger beetle → Cicindela instead. Someone can correct me if they do find a decent source, but as far as I could find there aren't any reliable sources saying Neocicindela tuberculata is called the common tiger beetle. It appears to be a WP:CIRCULAR reference in the websites that do use it, which mirror Wikipedia. This has been present in the article unsourced since its start in 2007. Common tiger beetle is not used extensively in sources overall, but since redirects are cheap and there is at least a source, Cincindela is an ok target for now. KoA (talk) 01:14, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The common names for N. tuberculata are listed in the single source that was provided when the article was created: [7]. Plantdrew (talk) 14:56, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah, that makes things a bit more complicated then. When I tried searching for those common names, I couldn't really find other significant sources using those names for that species. If anything, it looks like those names like pennydoctor, etc. are generic for other tiger beetles, but that's no super clear either. I'm kind of iffy on relying on one source in this kind of situation though, so maybe delete both common tiger beetle redirects without wider usage?
    It also looks like the Neocicindela is a subgenus of Cicindela, so being the first tiger beetle described in New Zealand could have meant it was called a type of common tiger beetle in that context rather than the common tiger beetle (same for other common names listed in the source you mention). That's just the sense I get from context though, so hard to use as concrete justification. With the nomenclature though, it still would make more sense to land people at Cicindela first, and if there's support for saying it's definitely a common name used for the species itself and not others, then maybe a hatnote or natural DAB in the Cicindela article linking to the species article?

The second page did return several results in French that used this. Anyone encountering this in French is unlikely to turn to enwiki for an explanation and English users who know it likely know National Rally.

Ponni Nadhi

[edit]

Ponni is an alternate name for the river, mentioned in the article, and "Nadhi" just means river. However, all hits up until I got tired of clicking "next" appear to refer to a song by this title, which we cover at Ponniyin Selvan: I (soundtrack). However, I can see the argument that the river is the primary topic due to long-term significance, so bringing this here. My preference would be to target the song with a hatnote to the river. Rusalkii (talk) 19:11, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, as mentioned, the river is the primary topic since in Tamil the Kaveri is known as Ponni. While ponni nadhi may not bring up hits for the river (and only for the song), it seems that "Ponni river" does, and the song is called ponni nadhi (aka ponni river) because it's referring to the river. Eucalyptusmint (talk) 01:44, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

Retarget both to Cryptozoology. Readers expect to find a full-fledged article rather than a list when they enter a search term or click a link on WP. There is not enough distinct content to sustain a separate article for Cryptid, and Cryptozoology is therefore the main article on this topic. Both are plausible search terms and readers would be better served by landing at the article that gives a full treatment of the topic.

    Readers are looking for a pseudo animal or list of animals, not the principles behind the research. I'm not sure why you would say that. I'll accept the will of the community here, but readers generally expect a more full treatment and not a list with dubious entries. When there's an article for a topic that substantially overlaps with a common search term, we to often redirect there. There has been a lot of discussion about the quality of the list relative to Cryptozoology and the list continues to have problems so I thought the question was ripe for revisiting. That said, I do agree that it's quite easy to find Cryptozoology from the list so a 'keep' result does little harm even though I find it less than ideal. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 21:53, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I would disagree. There is a big difference between the object "cryptid" or "cryptids" and the pseudoscience of cryptozoology. That's like comparing bee's to Melittology which is the study of bees. Are we going to dump the bee article on the same principles? Do we dump the mollusk article and merge it into malacology? I think this proposed change is a disservice and not helpful to our readers. Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:12, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the ping. Probably keep cryptids --> list, and redirect cryptid --> cryptozoology, just based on what people are likely searching for. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 20:02, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Of the two possible targets, the introduction to the list has more directly relevant information about cryptid(s) - what people using this search term are most likely looking for - than does the introduction to the Cryptozoology article, which rightly focuses on the field of study (the article subject).

  • Delete the first and refine the second. Indeed, bombero simply means 'firefighter' in Spanish.

  • Delete both. I was under the impression that the term bombero(s) was Chilean, but as Myceteae points out, it is simply Spanish for firefighter. I don't think it makes sense to delete Bomberos and keep Bomberos (Chilean firefighters), which is disambiguating from the former. I don't see any meaningful links to the latter either, so it's most likely not a useful redirect. 9ninety (talk) 13:58, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • I disagree with Pppery that the disambiguated redirect is dependent on the plain one existing. It is inappropriate for an article (or dab page) to be located at a disambiguated title when the base title doesn't exist or is a redirect to it, but that does not imply that a redirect at a disambiguated title requires the base title to be a blue link, nor can I think of a good reason why it should imply that.

I cannot find this usage anywhere else on the internet, though it's possible google is failing me due to the weird character.

Rusalkii (talk) 04:03, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment the article on ƹ implies that it was most commonly used in the 1940s-1980s, a period of time underrepresented on the internet so a lack of uses known to Google is not definitive. The Arabic letter (Ayin#Arabic ʿayn) it is/was used to transcribe does appear in the Arabic name for the target given in the infobox ("معاوية"), so it is not impossible this is an old transliteration - however I am not an Arabic speaker or familiar with the target topic area at all, so I'm not really qualified to speak to its plausibility. I'll see if I can find an appropriate WikiProject to alert to this discussion. Thryduulf (talk) 10:20, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment/Weak Keep I'm not an expert on Arabic so IDK if this usage is likely to ever get searched for, but from from a linguistic perspective ƹ and ' do seem to both represent the same sound, a voiced pharyngeal fricative.

  • Keep, don't DAB. French is spoken in dozens of countries and localities (for example) and if we add German and Dutch, the list only grows longer. It seems wrong to highlight only a few countries on the DAB page and compiling a more complete list of usage in every country and national subdivision is not particularly encyclopedic. Better to send readers to Engineer where they can find a comprehensive treatment of the topic. Content on other countries can be added to Engineer as appropriate. Since this is used as a title in many places, it's plausible readers would encounter this in English-language sources and want to look it up but we shouldn't assume usage is restricted to the locations we have listed at the draft DAB. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 01:34, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the dab is fine (although I might be biased as its creator), since it lists all uses of the term that are discussed on Wikipedia, and also highlights engineer as the primary meaning. It therefore conveniently presents all relevant coverage of the title on Wikipedia. The engineer article only covers the term's usage in France, so it isn't exactly a comprehensive treatment. But I'm fine with keeping if we expand coverage (perhaps the § Definition by country section could be split into a comprehensive article titled Geography of engineering) and also retarget Ingenieur. 9ninety (talk) 15:21, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I've changed my view after reading this and looking more carefully at usage in articles. The redirect is used in five articles. In 3 instances it is used in a piped link displayed as the abbreviation ir. or Ir., and it doesn't appear these individuals received their degrees nor worked in any of the countries listed at the DAB currently (I only skimmed). At Sapper#Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) it describes how the French system was introduced into Japan and at UniverSud Paris it describes the specific degree granted by this French university. I do think the DAB page content should be expanded and could possibly be more of an article than a DAB but I support making the change now. I would also retarget IngenieurIngenieur to the new DAB since this is used in many countries and the unaccented form could also be considered a variant of the French, especially for English speakers; and would retarget Ir.Ir. (with period) to the new DAB page. Currently Ir. points to the DAB page IR but we should treat the form with the period like Dr., Mr., etc. Keep Ingenieur listed at IR#Other uses but the description there can be updated and it will now point to the new DAB page (this is a suggestion and not something I'm asking you or anyone to do before a decision is made here). Thanks for working on this! --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 17:47, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    It should keep pointing to the disambiguation page Ing, since there is an entry there for engineer's degree, which is different from the professional practice protected title. We need to add the profession practice protected title abbreviation to the disambiguation page at Ing for the use of "Ing." in Canada. The protected title being either Ir. or Ing. in abbreviation would thus appear on both disambiguation pages. -- 65.93.183.181 (talk) 20:54, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I'm open to keeping the status quo, redirecting to Clovis (given name), or other alternatives. I was at Luigi, followed the link to Chlodwig and was "astonished" to read the opening line of Louis (given name) which contains the very similar name Chlodowig which is a piped link to Clovis (given name), and wondered why these don't point to the same place. Louis may, indeed, be the better target but it's not obvious to me. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 20:56, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, or Retarget to Chlodwig, Prince of Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst. There is absolutely no reason to have redirects created from every ancient form of every given name; that's just absurd. That's why we have the "Search" function (in addition to the "Go" function) in the search field, to locate all instances of the term, not just the one Neelix happened to turn his obsessive and nonsensical brain to. Softlavender (talk) 22:06, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    My hesitation is that it is used in two articles where it is linked with reference to the name, and none in reference to this or any other individual named Chlodwig. A Google search turns up a variety of references, including to the fellow you linked and to Clovis I aka, apparently, Chlodwig. I take your point about not creating redirects for every variant of a name that has ever been attested, but where a redirect is used in article space in this way, I'm inclined to keep or redirect to a more appropriate given name, but not retarget to a specific individual that no editor has linked mononymously this way. A DAB page would be better than this. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 23:50, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ike Lek (talk) 16:51, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or redirect to Clovis I, as the two most likely targets. A number of Frankish royal names have no standardized spelling, but are found in numerous forms, and this is one of them. It needs to redirect either to Louis or possibly to Clovis, as they are the same name. Presumably the link at Louis goes to "Clovis (given name)" because otherwise it would be a recursive link and uninformative; the same word can certainly link to different places depending on context, and in that case anyone clicking on it would be looking for historical information. Without that distinction, "Louis" makes as much sense—perhaps more, because the redirect is a spelling variation. Strongly oppose redirecting to "Chlodwig, Prince of Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst", as an extremely improbable search target for the bare name. Most English speakers will be familiar with the name "Louis", many with Clovis I, very few with this German prince. That redirect would certainly astonish many readers. P Aculeius (talk) 16:54, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • NOTE: Chlodwig is not mentioned anywhere prominently or in bold in Clovis I. (It's buried deep in the body text and one has to use Control+F to even find it.) Therefore, I struggle to understand why that article is being promoted as a superior retarget. Softlavender (talk) 21:08, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Because most uses of it (under any spelling) encountered by readers are likely to be references to the Frankish king. Though there were other notable persons—including notable Franks—by this name, as well as partial title matches (such as the above-mentioned German noble, and the Clovis culture of North America and their characteristic spearheads), Clovis I sweeps the field among persons whose names are likely to be rendered simply as "Clodowig", "Chlodowig" "Clodwig", "Chlodwig", etc. P Aculeius (talk) 01:35, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    A condition for redirects is that the term be featured prominently, preferably in bold, in the target article, so there is no puzzlement from the reader as to why they ended up on that page when they were searching for something entirely and noticeably different. Since Clovis I still fails in that regard, I continue to oppose redirecting to that article. Softlavender (talk) 01:54, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    There's no such condition. Many thousands of morphological variants lead to the topics they're variants of without being "featured prominently" in the articles they target. In fact it would be absurd if persons (or things) whose names were spelled, though infrequently, in numerous ways had to feature each variation "prominently, preferably in bold". It's more common to have a subsection listing variant names, or simply to place a footnote in the lead. P Aculeius (talk) 13:32, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    P, in my opinion you don't sound very familiar with redirects or the conditions and rationales involved. "Chlodwig" or some variation of it would need to be mentioned in the lead, preferably the lead sentence, for the redirect to make sense to anyone typing in the term and clicking on what comes up. Generally people who type in a term are looking for someone by that very name, hence Chlodwig, Prince of Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst. Most people can't remember the tongue-twisting rest of the name and so would simply type in "Chlodwig".

    "Chlodwig" and "Clovis" are not even spelling variants of each other, and differ too much to be understood by an unexplained redirect. If there are still people who want "Clovis" to be considered as a target, then in my opinion the only solution is Chlodwig (disambiguation), which would, quite obviously, list Chlodwig, Prince of Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst (and any other wiki titles with "Chlodwig" in them) first, and could then list or mention Clovis and/or various Clovises. Softlavender (talk) 20:37, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Indeed, "Chlodwig" even shows up in some dictionaries defined as Clovis I.[11][12] I am leaning towards Clovis (given name) as the best redirect. This is consistent with the two uses in articles currently, pointing to the origin of other names, and would lead readers to Clovis I and all the other Chlodwigs and Clovises. Clovis I could be mentioned in the lead or otherwise made more prominent there if there is concern that enough readers are looking for this individual (he is, of course, listed already). A new Chlodwig (disambiguation) page (not that anyone has suggested this) page seems extraneous and would mostly point to and duplicate entries from Clovis (given name). WikiNav[13][14] shows a fair bit of traffic between Clovis (given name), Louis (given name), and the related names. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 03:19, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Parachute (EP)

[edit]

It's not clear why this redirects here - it isn't mentioned. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:00, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The history here is a bit complicated. In June 2006 an article about an EP by this name was created at The Parachute by user:Russ is the sex, it was nominated for speedy deletion about two hours later, but that was declined and converted to a prod. That prod was accompanied by (but not replaced by) a suggestion to merge to hellogoodbye from the original author, which the speedy deletion nominator (HarryCane, who hasn't edited since 2011) indicated in an edit summary they had done. In 2007 The Parachute was retargetted to The parachute1 which was later moved to The Parachute (novel), which was speedily deleted in 2008 as a G11 (although it didn't indicate notability it didn't seem overly promotional to me), leading to the redirect being speedily deleted under R1 (today's G8). Meanwhile in April 2007 J r glenn created Parachute e.p. as an article, which was moved to Parachute (EP) by Brianga a few minutes later. The following day, HarryCane redirected it citing the "consensus in the edit history of The Parachute". Thryduulf (talk) 12:57, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note I've added Parachute e.p. to this discussion. Thryduulf (talk) 12:57, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep if mention is added, otherwise delete. If the content of either former article can be verified (I haven't looked) then it should be added as 1-2 sentences at the target, then both redirects should point to that mention. Otherwise it should be deleted. I'm not advocating a restoration of the article content on this occasion as the first article was prodded without objection and the second didn't add anything new, but if anyone else thinks it should be restored then I will support that and my "delete" recommendation should be regarded as invalid in that cirumstance.

  • Is there any reason why The Parachute isn't listed at Hellogoodbye#Extended plays or elsewhere in their discography? It has an entry at Last.fm but I don't find much else online that would establish notability. I'm with Thryduulf, if there's enough to support its inclusion, it should be added to the article and the redirects should be kept but I'm not coming up with much so lean delete otherwise. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 21:15, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The section that may have mentioned Peter Pindar is now missing. Thomas Chaloner (naturalist) can apparently be confused with his cousin Thomas Chaloner (courtier) (whose article mentions Paul Pindar), both being involved with alum.

Sedevacantist Antipope

[edit]

The two contradict eachother, Sedevacantism is the view that since 1958 there hasn't been any True Popes, Conclavists are people who claim to be Catholic who've elected their own Popes, beleiving that they're successors to Saint Peter. The only similarity is that they both hold that all the Claimants to the Papacy since 1958/The Second Vatican Council are Antipopes. But Sedevacantists also hold that the Conclavist claimants to the Papacy are to Antipopes. Reason 5 says that if a Redirect makes no snese it can be deleted, since this redirect makes no snense it needs to be deleted Olek Novy (talk)

  • Keep - from reading these articles, it sounds like the nom statement differs from what's in the articles - eg. the opening from Conclavism states that the method of electing rival popes is used by some schismatic Catholics, often Sedevacantists, and third paragraph of Sedevacantist says Various factions of conclavists among sedevacantists have proceeded to end the perceived vacancy in the Holy See by electing their own pope. Our articles are saying Sedevacantists who elect their own (anti)popes are Conclavists. To me the redirects make sense so should be kept. BugGhost 🦗👻 06:13, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Plain rice

[edit]

Whatever this redirect is meant to represent, I do not believe that the generic article about Rice is the appropriate target. If anything, this phrase most likely refers to Rice as food, but even that is unclear. Maybe be best to delete this thing. Steel1943 (talk) 21:02, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think redirecting to Rice as Food makes more sense -- in that its descriptive of the thing being consumed (it's plain") rather than of the species or the product. Sadads (talk) 22:23, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In British usage, "Plain rice" (white steamed rice) is distinguished from "fried rice" or other "special" (with shrimp, etc) rice dishes. All this should be in Rice as food. Chiswick Chap (talk) 04:28, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep And there doesn't necessarily have to be. The bar for a redirect is very low. If anybody was wondering if Musk was or could run for president, it just redirects to the part of the 2028 United States presidential election article that says he can't. The section mentions HE specifically. I don't see the problem here at all. pbp 13:36, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete — Musk cannot run for president in 2028, full stop. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 15:49, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @ElijahPepe:'s vote doesn't have any deletion rationale and as such should be disregarded by the closing nom. It is based on a (likely-inaccurate) assumption that everybody knows that Elon is ineligible for the presidency and doesn't take into account how low the floor is for redirect creation. Even hoaxes can have articles, let alone redirects. pbp 16:34, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    So hasty to try to win an argument. This redirect does not serve any purpose because the subject doesn't exist and won't exist, even as a hoax. This cannot be used in an article. In addition, it assumes that there is a connection between Musk and the 2028 election that does not exist. Elon Musk 2032 presidential campaign is not an article or a redirect because there is no coverage on the subject, real or not. Pageviews shows only 36 views since March. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 16:43, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Redirects need not have possibilities to be retained. And there IS significant coverage in reliable sources discussing Elon Musk's presidential eligibility. And of course Elon Musk 2032 doesn't exist: election and campaign articles don't exist two cycles out. Pageviews suggest that people ARE looking for a term; pageviews would have to be basically 0 to justify deletion on page views. Again, I'm not seeing much understanding of the relevant policies here. pbp 17:14, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per pbp, Lunamann and Myceteae. People are using this search term and we have the information they are looking for so we would need to have a good reason not to take them to that information. No such reason has been presented here. Thryduulf (talk) 22:10, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Section is missing from the target article.

May be an WP:X3 candidate, but not sure due to the oddness of a conjugated non-disambiguator attached to the end of the disambiguator. Either way, unlikely search term. Steel1943 (talk) 17:42, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment this was a stubby article that was prodded with a proposal to merge into the main article, and that merge was carried out in March 2010 (see e.g. this revision) and the article redirected.

Ludobot

[edit]

Previously a stub (A ludobot is a type of artificial human companion: an entertainment robot, from Latin ludo (play) and bot (robot).) that was redirected to entertainment robot in 2017, the term isn't used in that article, wasn't used in it at the time of the redirect creation, and I can't find any sources that use it.

Bhakt

The redirect Bhakt was recently created, but the correct English transliteration of the original Sanskrit term is Bhakta, which already exists as a redirect to Bhakti.

admittedly, i kind of oppose retargeting to the dab, as it seems the term only refers to living organisms with that funny shape (y'know, hence polyp (zoology)). that aside, it seems this and other results related to richard dawkins have been recently overcome with slop of ai variety, which isn't related to this discussion, but is a bummer nonetheless :c consarn (grave) (obituary) 17:51, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Feral gummint

[edit]

Sadly, this is not the Onion. Thepharoah17 (talk) 04:19, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • █████. It's nearly invisible. It was a lapse into mild humor.
I half made up the term. I searched for it here, half-expecting to find it here. It wasn't, so I added it. I Googled today for "feral gummint" and I see 350 hits (only 1 from Wikipedia and no mirrors), most referring to the US, but some referring to other federal governments such as Australia and Canada. Example: "Oh great.. the Feral Gummint has a part to play to play in this.."
I wonder how anyone noticed it. (Maybe browsing "What links here" from [Federal government of the United States], with "Hide links" enabled? Maybe browsing "User contributions for A876" with "Only show edits that are page creations" enabled, clicking "500" and then "Next 500" to reach my very first additions, and then finally noticing this the 30th one from the bottom?).
I wonder how many people noticed it before someone sought to kill it off. (I have nominated even-more-pointless redirects from absurdly improbable misspellings for deletion, and somehow absurdly got turned down.) In 2007, Wikipedia in several ways "was" The Onion. No need to be sad about it. Often Wikipedia seems much better than it was; sometimes it seems hopeless.
(I recall noticing a comical fictitious entry in the index of a college textbook. I think it said "Humor, sick" and it referred indirectly to the stylish new out-of-sequence info boxes that someone had forced the editors to tediously add to many pages.)

Te cunosc de undeva!(season 2)

Redirect title qualifies for WP:X3 speedy deletion, but the redirect has a bit of edit history in it ... though the history as an article existed for 2 days prior to being subject to a WP:BLAR pointing towards its correctly-spaced title variant, Te cunosc de undeva! (season 2)Te cunosc de undeva! (season 2) (now a redirect). Steel1943 (talk) 18:37, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - If the history needs retaining, it could always be moved without a redirect to the title with proper spacing. However, it still would not be a proper redirect within our house disambiguation style (it is not a cardinal type of 'second season'). Would likely lean delete, but also okay with the aforementioned move to improve it. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 22:03, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete There are no reliable sources that will actually claim there was a genocide of Turks happening for over a century. This is fringe historical negationism, generally only claimed by deniers of the Armenian/Greek/Assyrian genocides. Claiming that Turks were the real victims of genocide is a form of Armenian/Greek/Assyrian genocide denial (see Iğdır Genocide Memorial and Museum), as thus doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Therefore, these titles are not appropriate, as they were titled by a Wikipedia user last month, not by credible historians. KhndzorUtogh (talk) 05:59, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sleeping dictionary

Per Wiktionary, a sleeping dictionary is "a sexual partner who also serves as a native informant or language teacher for a person visiting the region from outside".

First fire

[edit]

Exists from a previous PROD but the target is now a DAB - and the phrase doesn't appear in any of the articles Ivey (talk - contribs) 16:29, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Assuming the PRODed content was accurate (it was unreferenced but plausible, although mostly how-to) then this is a specific term in relation to furnaces (google suggests it isn't limited to any one type). My first thought was "origin of fire", searching that phrase led me to The Origin of Fire, which is a 1902 Finnish cantata and I would be very surprised to land there after using this search term! Control of fire by early humans is closer to what I was thinking of but I'm not certain that's close enough? It wouldn't help people who are looking for the usage in relation to furnaces, but it is linked as "earliest fire" on Template:Human timeline and it is the primary topic when I google "first fire" -Wikipedia when I exclude partial title matches of (probably non-notable) businesses and histories of fire brigades. Thryduulf (talk) 02:18, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Another thought I just had was when earth's atmosphere could first support (sustained) fire (I vaguely recall a PBS Eons or SciShow episode about this). Google results for my vague query string suggest this was the result of the Great Oxidation Event but that article does not include the word "fire" and nor does Neoproterozoic oxygenation event linked in the hatnote. I haven't been able to think what we would title an article about this topic, and my vague searches are just leading me to articles about the (far) future - the exact opposite of what I'm looking for. Thryduulf (talk) 02:38, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Fossil record of fire would be a decent article for that other thought. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:50, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Indeed it would, thank you. Looking at this with (slightly) more awake eyes I'm thinking the best option here is either a set index/disambig or a redirect to Control of fire by early humans with hatnotes to Fossil record of fire and something related to the furnace/kiln sense if we have any relevant content. I'm about to add a hatnote from the former to the latter based on the History of fire redirect. Thryduulf (talk) 10:16, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dolores Rogers is an actress who happened to voice the character Bowser Jr. in a few different Mario games. She is not mentioned in the target article. She has done a ton of other work. There is no reason that searching her name should bring you to one character that she has voiced on occasion, especially when she is not mentioned at all in the target. Dennis C.

Battle of Manupur (1748) is an {{R from move}} to a deleted article. I guess Battle of Manupur can be speedied as a G7, and the parenthesized one deleted as a dependent redirect. The next admin may do this immediately without the 7 day wait. Jay 💬 13:25, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Somewhere on the Waterloo to Weymouth route

[edit]

The only place on the internet I can find this phrase is at Speed records in rail transport, where the redirect is linked. While the South West Main Line is the Waterloo to Weymouth route this seems very unlikely as a search term. Waterloo to Weymouth route by itself would be a better redirect, though I'd just pipe it. Rusalkii (talk) 23:09, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Waterloo–Weymouth line maybe, but even Waterloo to Weymouth route is a stretch in my opinion. Seems the redirect being discussed is just for one use where Somewhere on the [[Waterloo–Weymouth line]] would be best. JacobTheRox(talk | contributions) 11:44, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I did not create any new redirects, but I have piped it to the target at the Speed records page. Jay 💬 08:14, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, I don't think even Waterloo to Weymouth route is a particularly good redirect and was not suggesting creating it, just that it would've been better in this case and I probably wouldn't have RfDed it. Rusalkii (talk) 05:29, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nile Canal

[edit]

This isn’t a correct redirect. Even googling “Nile Canal” brings up something up totally different. The previous edit to this page actually said to bring it to RFD so here I am. Therefore, I say Delete. Thepharoah17 (talk) 08:33, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or convert to a disambiguation page: The Suez Canal is not connected to the Nile, so it's clearly unhelpful to redirect there. The "predecessors", which is to say the ancient/medieval canals between the Nile and the Red Sea, are covered in two articles already: Canal of the Pharaohs and Khalij (Cairo). Neither of them is really known as the "Nile Canal" to my knowledge, which is why I think deleting as too vague is fine, otherwise a DAB that links to both those articles (and any other articles that might be reasonably relevant) is also fine.

National railway

[edit]

A national railway is an example of something that might be (but isn't always) a state-owned enterprise. Railways are mentioned a couple of times as examples, but never using this exact phrase. National Railway was a railroad planned in the USA in the 1870s and National Railways lists multiple other entities that have similar names so I don't think this is a good redirect as it stands, I'm unsure whether National Railway or National Railways would be the better target (both link to each other, but neither link to the current target). I don't support deletion as (a) this has been around since 2010 and (b) there isn't anything relevant the search engine finds that isn't the current target or listed at National Railways so search results would be unhelpful.

I cannot find any evidence that he is referred to as "Fitcher" rather than "Fitch".

  • delete without opposition to recreation. the extremely few sources across all previous diffs were of debatable everything, not limited to reliability, usability, and existence. the content of the diffs that weren't vandalism was also pretty promotional, so i couldn't see it sticking in mainspace for long. however, i did actually find some sources that seem to be potentially useful, so it can likely be recreated if someone's in the mood consarn (grave) (obituary) 11:38, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Restore without prejudice to AfD. Where sources exist and need detailed consideration that is far outside the scope of RfD. Thryduulf (talk) 11:38, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Analysis of sources should be something that is encouraged at RfD, not shunned. I would love for someone to present sources here, which could help me decide to restore and/or rescue it and avoid an additional deletion discussion at AfD. -- Tavix (talk) 20:37, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
to this day, i don't know what policies would discourage checking sources here, especially when it's actively beneficial to the discussion consarn (grave) (obituary) 01:41, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
right, it would probably be a good idea to plop some sources here so i can have a look at them later
i can't guarantee they're reliable enough to bypass the deprecated source filter, but that's something i'm going to worry myself with when i'm out of work
again, i'll try to have a look at those later, and i doubt more than two of them will be reliable, but it's better to play it unsafe and at least prove that there's something to consider for anyone willing to recreate
and i should clarify that doesn't change my vote to delete, as the pre-blar content is just Not Good™, so it should be recreated entirely, which i can't guarantee anyone will be willing to do consarn (grave) (obituary) 11:15, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Re investigating sources here and not AfD, this is not explicitly prohibited but really should be to stop these repetitive arguments for bypassing the point of having separate deletion discussion venues for articles and redirects. The substantive content at this title is the article, not the redirect, so discussion about it should happen at the venue all our policies, guidelines and conventions indicate is the place that deletion of articles is discussed: AfD. If we encourage and normalise playing fast and loose with these things (as here) then we have no standing to uphold proper process at other times (e.g. when proper process would be preferential to your POV).
If you want to abolish the AfD/RfD split, then go ahead and propose doing that and if it gains consensus I'll help implement it. However what I won't do is quietly go about implementing it ad hoc by the backdoor because one or two editors dislike the split for some reason. Thryduulf (talk) 14:55, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"not explicitly prohibited" works for me consarn (grave) (obituary) 17:11, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Just because something is not explicitly prohibited does not mean that it is recommended, a good idea, or even allowed. After all we don't explicitly prohibit many things that we don't endorse because it has never previously been an issue - which this wasn't until bees found their way into bonnets about doing things at RfD that nobody previously considered relevant to RfD. Thryduulf (talk) 18:58, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
a little late, but this really isn't a reason to prohibit nomming blars (especially when it's been blar'd as spam, unsourced, and vandalism) or checking sources here, and i don't think explicitly saying that they're permitted would require merging rfd and afd. if something goes to afd, we check sources on it while treating it as an article, with the possibility of coverage not being significant or reliable enough to keep it. if it goes to rfd, we check sources on it and its relation to the target while treating it as a redirect, with the possibility of coverage being significant or reliable enough to make it an article. it's not a backdoor procedure, it's not bees taking a page from the wasp scout handbook, and it's absolutely not a matter of competence or lack thereof, it's standard fare for editing wikipedia
hell, it's not even like sources need to be explicitly brought up or presented for people to go check, they'll ideally do that regardless to determine what to do with any given page consarn (grave) (obituary) 23:38, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Striking until I have time to review Consarn's sources. -- Tavix (talk) 14:53, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Restore the fact that sources have been presented about by consarn suggests that this needs a proper, full discussion to determine notability. Which is the purpose of AFD not RFD- RFD should not be being used for "back door" deletions. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:28, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    i still don't think it's worth restoring. maybe having those sources here will help someone who finds the rationale, but restoring one of however many extremely problematic diffs will do the exact opposite of helping consarn (grave) (obituary) 17:12, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

a little late, but here are my opinions on the sources, with the caveat that i may as well be pulling reliability estimates out of my ass and should not be treated as possessing an authoritative opinion
  • the koreatimes ones seem unambiguously reliable
  • aside from the indecipherable glyphs, the tudocelular review seems... shallow? insubstantial? it's probably usable, but... bleh, i'm not feeling it
  • pr newswire... paragraph about how cool and awesome and worth it kinemaster is... nah, not seeing any advertisement-shaped suspicious details here. probably usable for an uncontroversial statement about numbers and stuff, but not a word more
  • wooper is cute, the main page should honestly just redirect to it
  • the first yahoo one is boring. reliable, sure, but boring
  • the kxan one seems... oh my black goat of the woods with a thousand young, it seems usable
  • same for the techradar ones, i'm honestly willing to call them the best the article could have, and it's likely not even close
  • no opinion on prweb, i think my brain turned off for a few minutes when looking at it...
  • the second yahoo finance one is an ad
  • the creative bloq review isn't a blog, wow. it's probably even also usable
  • second pr newswire source, same verse as first... is what i would say, if it was about kinemaster in the first place. i don't know, maybe it can be used for saying that it's compatible with nexstreaming?
  • the gizbot one seems almost usable for a short claim about kinemaster not being chinese, but why would we even have that?
again, not the slightest bit confident in my overly generous evalutation, but for now, my vote will remain a strong return to red. sources exist and are likely reliable, but i actually fell asleep checking some of those sources, so i'm not exactly expecting other people to be giddy for a chance to work on it consarn (grave) (obituary) 23:53, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like both to redirect to the same place. Looking at some high-quality sources, we see:
  • These days, it's usually a rich, elaborately decorated cake.[36][37]
  • In its original English use (c. Victorian era), it was any kind of cake, and even things that weren't really cake, but had some cake-like qualities.[38] It even included molded rice puddings.[39] Elaborately decorated layer cakes became the more popular use later.[40]
  • In last half-century, it typically uses a boring sponge cake, but this is not inherent; what matters is the cream (and often fruit) filling and decorations.[41]
  • The French word still refers to any kind of cake.[42] Or even non-cakes, such as tarts, pancakes, and Gâteau Pithiviers, Saint-Honoré, and Paris–Brest pastry.[43]
Overall, I think that pointing both at Cake is slightly better, as that encompasses all of the historical, modern, and French meanings, but it is not unreasonable to point them both at Layer cake. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:49, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Brent Díaz

[edit]

Baseball minor league players are grouped by their respective organisation. This player was most recently a member of the Milwaukee Brewers, but never made an appearance for the Major League team, and so did not get his own article. He has since left the team, has not played at all since 2023, and is presumably retired, and the related mini-profile for him was removed from the redirect's target article.

Propose deleting per WP:RFD#DELETE point 2 -- it's confusing to be taken to a page that has no related content.

My only concern is whether it needs to be kept under WP:RFD#KEEP point 1, given the text further back in the edit histor was merged in. (However, it was merged in by the original author, so presumably counts as reaffirming the license..?) Buttons to Push Buttons (talk | contribs) 11:01, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is not inherently confusing to be able to find the name of a redirect in the article. RFD#DELETE #2 gives an example of a redirect to pointing at a less-relevant article. RFD#DELETE #2 has nothing to do with whether the redirect is mentioned.
RFD#DELETE #8 is much more salient, and it is about "a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name that is not mentioned in the target". So: Is it a synonym? No; this is a redirect to a broader subject, not to a different name for the same thing. If we pretend that it's a synonym, would it be "a novel or very obscure" one? No. People searching for a person's name, when they end up in a list, are not going to be confused. They're going to say "Ah, this is a list of baseball players, so he must have been a baseball player" or "That's the team he played for, so Dad got something about baseball wrong for the first time in my life!"
The information about Brent Díaz was removed in 2023. At a quick glance, my impression is that the scope of this article is current players only, and there is no place to put former/retired/dead players. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:28, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Fair points – thanks. Feels a bit like there's a hole in the reasons, given the synonym rule shoudl probably be explicitly for synonyms, but still..! What I would add is that this does generally tend to be the route we take: include non-notable players until they become notable, and delete their redirects once removed and notability is never established. See e.g. a whole swathe of similar articles at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 November 8, including Tyler Herb for the same specific article. Granted, few-to-no !votes, but also no objections. Buttons to Push Buttons (talk | contribs) 12:41, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The word "gadu" is mentioned nowhere in the target article, leaving the connection between the redirect and the target article unclear. (This redirect was formally an article that was subject to a WP:BLAR in 2014 after existing for 2 months.) Steel1943 (talk) 20:44, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Move without redirect to Ji Suh-yeon per Orangesclub. The only Seo-yeon of the group I see from external searches is Yoon Seo-yeon, the first member. The article under the redirect was closed at AfD only two weeks back, RETURNTORED or article creation rationales are not applicable, and if created will be at a different title (see Draft:Ji-yeon (singer)).
