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
Please be aware of these general policies, which apply here as elsewhere:
- Wikipedia:Redirect – what redirects are, why they exist, and how they are used.
- Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion – which pages can be deleted without discussion; in particular the "General" and "Redirects" sections.
- Wikipedia:Deletion policy – how we delete things by consensus.
- Wikipedia:Guide to deletion – guidelines on discussion format and shorthand.
The guiding principles of RfD
- 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?
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
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):
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The redirect constitutes self-promotion or spam. (Speedy deletion criterion G11 may apply.)
- The redirect makes no sense, such as redirecting "Apple" to "Orange". (Speedy deletion criterion G1 may apply.)
- 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:.)
- 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 or that it has become broken through vandalism.
- 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.)
- 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. - 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
However, avoid deleting such redirects if:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The redirect is to a closely related word form, such as a plural form to a singular form.
Neutrality of redirects
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:
- 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).
- 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).
- 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
- 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).

Youssef Zidan
- Youssef Zidan → Kunal Nayyar#Career (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
This is a weird case. This redirect refers to a fictional character, but points to the actor's article. List of NCIS characters and NCIS (season 4) do not mention the character, either. I'd rather redirect to the former, but I imagine some people would want it gone as the article doesn't mention the character by name. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 16:07, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. Certainly not what Nayyar is known for, and, in the context of NCIS, a minor character who only appeared in one episode. GrindtXX (talk) 16:23, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Dasheng
Not mentioned at the target, Internet and Google Scholar searches do not suggest a single primary target associated with this term. Delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 18:34, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- Consider re-writting as a disambiguation page, please? There are two towns in China called "Dasheng Town", and Emperor Ruizong of Tang has also somewhat a nickname "Dasheng". --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 00:58, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
- Wouldn't this fall in the category of "Manifestations of culture with special significance in areas where that language is spoken"? If not, then I would definitely agree that it should be removed. In any event, creating a Dasheng disambiguation page per Liuxinyu970226's suggestion would be an improvement.—Greg Pandatshang (talk) 01:46, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
- The issue here isn't WP:RLOTE, but the lack of a clear connection between the search term and the target such that we could assume that readers looking for "Dasheng" are likely looking for Mahayana. As Liuxinyu has noted above, there are other things this term could refer to, so disambiguation does seem appropriate. signed, Rosguill talk 20:04, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

Shell Cottage
- Shell Cottage → Places in Harry Potter#Shell Cottage (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
ambiguous, there are a load of real places called "shell cottage" too, see for example Carton House#Shell Cottage or Cullenstown. I don't think a set index would really work well here as a lot of the mentions are in other articles, so I am proposing deletion to reveal the search results. 192.76.8.78 (talk) 22:29, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
Licorice wand
- Licorice wand → Places in Harry Potter#Hogsmeade (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
Not mentioned in the target article or anywhere else in the project (under either UK or US spelling). "Places in Harry Potter" seems like a very odd target for a sweet. 192.76.8.78 (talk) 22:23, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Griphindor

Completley implausible typo of Gryffindor. Google turns up a couple of pages of results, few of which appear to be related to Harry Potter. 192.76.8.78 (talk) 22:01, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep as a quite plausible misspelling for the target. All top google hits for me (in the U.S.) are as a misspelling of the target. Good redirect. Mdewman6 (talk) 02:17, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
- Actually, refine to Hogwarts#Gryffindor to match the redirect Gryffindor. I have added redirect categories. Mdewman6 (talk) 02:19, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Mdewman6 I get 47 results in total, the first page of which contains this redirect, a world of Warcraft character profile, two links to some kind of Instagram thing, two spell checking websites, some kind of fanfiction thing, a mobile game and a tiktok hashtag. Are you using quote marks "" to search for this exact string? Does google say at the top "showing results for Gryffindor"? I can't believe the US google results would be so completley different. 192.76.8.78 (talk) 02:29, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Just War Theory Doctrine wikipage
- Just War Theory Doctrine wikipage → Just war theory (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
WP:UNNATURAL. We do not need redirects of the form "foo wikipage" targeting "foo". Created by a student editor in 2016 in what appears to have been a page move accident, moved back a couple of hours later. This should have been WP:R3'd at the time, but it wasn't, hence this discussion. 192.76.8.78 (talk) 21:51, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

A bunch of WP:UNNATURAL title modifications with superfluous full stops on the end. Appear to have been created as the result of some kind of botched attempt to move a redirect. The page history is a mess, but contains no article content. 192.76.8.78 (talk) 21:14, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Antoun issa Khouri
- Antoun issa Khouri → Antoun (Khouri) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
I created this as a temporary page as part of swapping the two pages Antoun Khouri and its redirect Antoun (Khouri). The naming convention for Eastern Orthodox bishops is Firstname (Lastname) so the main article should be Antoun (Khouri) and the redirect should be Antoun Khouri; this redirect is redundant and should be deleted. Xenophore; talk 20:16, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep as this appears to be a valid {{R from full name}} redirect. @Xenophore: as you probably realize now, if the move function won't allow you to move a page, it's not possible to work around that by moving to an intermediate page because redirects will always be left behind, unless the redirect is suppressed, which only page movers and admins can do. Bringing the move to WP:RM/TR as you did was what was needed, except like most moves, it is potentially controversial (given that the page was moved in the past), and the proper thing to do here is to start a requested move discussion, which is where your technical request is likely to end up.

The Coalition
- The Coalition → Coalition (Australia) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
This no longer appears to be the likely WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT given the change of government in Australia. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 18:26, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
Keep- They are commonly known as "The Coalition" even when not in government. Note they were not in government when this redirect was created. A7V2 (talk) 01:21, 24 May 2022 (UTC)- Switching to weak disambiguate. On consideration, I think it's quite possible the Australian political grouping is not the primary topic, but I'm not convinced the recent election made any difference in this regard. Second preference still keep. Strongly oppose deletion as that would leave The Coalition (company) with a weird disambiguated name with nothing at the base name. I also don't think retargeting to Coalition (disambiguation) is suitable since some of the examples pointed out as being referred to as "The Coalition" are not mentioned there. Of course Coalition (disambiguation) should be on the new DAB page. A7V2 (talk) 01:03, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. In Australian politics, the Coalition says in coalition even while in opposition.
- At the next election the media will continue to talk about the Coalition as the main non-Labor political grouping.
- This will remain true even if Labor don't reach a majority and have to rely on the Greens or independents for confidence and supply. (i.e. the presence of a governmental coalition won't change who are refereed to as "The Coalition") Micmicm (talk) 01:24, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- While I do agree that The Coalition will remain the dominant topic in Australia, I don't know if it can be immediately assumed that it's the global primary topic. Several other topics at Coalition (disambiguation) can be referred to as "The Coalition", such as various other (albeit defunct) coalitions in other governmental bodies in addition to The Coalition (company). Just something to think about; my personal opinion is that the current hatnote system is probably fine as none of the other specific topics get nearly as many page views as Coalition (Australia). eviolite (talk) 04:44, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- Disambiguate as nom. To echo Eviolite, this title is far too ambiguous; though it may be the first thing that comes to mind for Australians, this can't be said to extend to the rest of the world. In the UK, for instance, "The Coalition" is commonly understood to mean the former Cameron–Clegg coalition. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 14:33, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- DABify as per above; or delete as extremely ambiguous. Veverve (talk) 14:05, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- Disambiguate - This will mean, as stated above, radically different things to different people inside of the Anglopshere as a whole. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 14:38, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- Divert to Coalition (disambiguation) to broaden the range of topics. NotReallySoroka (talk) 03:03, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Create wikipage

“Wikipage" is an obscure word. Newer people may use terms like page or (correctly) article, but probably not wikipage. Capsulecap (talk • contribs) 19:28, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep Wikipage is the general name for a page on a wiki, I see people at the teahouse quite often asking for help with "writing their wikipage". This is exactly the kind of term where a cross namespace redirect is helpful, the people who are searching for this are probably too new to know that different namespaces exist. 192.76.8.78 (talk) 20:08, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
2021 Oting Nagaland Massacre
- 2021 Oting Nagaland Massacre → 2021 Nagaland killings (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
Is.... anyone really going to search this up on Wikipedia? There are no links to here in the mainspace articles, there's no reason to disambiguate the title, and even if a reader wanted to search up something like this, there's a 99% chance they would type something like Oting massacre. Dunutubble (talk) (Contributions) 17:45, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep as an {{R from move}} with a significant amount of incoming traffic. The article spent nearly a day and a half at this title after it was first written, and this redirect still gets ~ 50 page views a month. 192.76.8.78 (talk) 20:10, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Z Street
- Z Street → Street or road name#Z Street (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
delete as the original target is now a redirect to street name, which is a general discussion with nothing on this particular street name. Mangoe (talk) 16:16, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - the current target wasn't really redirected to street name, this was part of a move of the original target due to a RM discussion (see Talk:Street name#Requested move 22 May 2022). The section discussing/mentioning Z Street doesn't look like it changed as part of this move, and is currently at Street name#Lettered and numbered streets, so if kept it should be retargeted there. No opinion on whether this should be deleted or retargeted though. A7V2 (talk) 03:00, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
Is Love Supposed to Hurt Like This?
- Is Love Supposed to Hurt Like This? → Staydom (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
Not mentioned on target now or at the time of creation. Cannot find a suitable target to redirect to. If there is a suitable target I'd have no objection to saving. Richhoncho (talk) 11:57, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- It was mentioned in the article. It is a literal translation of the Korean title of the song "사랑은 원래 이렇게 아픈 건가요", which was given the English title of "Love Fool". Some sources on the Internet (perhaps not too reliable, but they are out there) provide this as the translation of the Korean title. Ss112 12:03, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
MOS:PSEUDOCODE
- MOS:PSEUDOCODE → Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer science/Manual of style#Algorithms (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
This doesn't actually link to the Wikipedia Manual of Style or any sub-entity, which is the purpose of the pseudo-namespace "MOS". It links to an essay, which appears to be an misuse of the pseudo-namespace. — Ⓜ️hawk10 (talk) 03:37, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - Whether or not the wikiproject should be using the term Manual of Style is not a matter that can be settled by deleting one of the more than ten redirects of this kind which target the article. This shortcut has been used so obviously some users find it useful. And it links to a manual of style so I don't think it's inappropriate. But I emphasise I don't think this is the appropriate venue unless there is some past discussion on something similar. A7V2 (talk) 06:24, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Redirects for discussion is clearly the appropriate venue for discussing redirects. — Ⓜ️hawk10 (talk) 01:55, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- I apologise as I may have misinterpreted your nomination. If the question is in general whether something other than the actual MOS can be called the/a MOS, then that is not something which can be decided here. But failing some broader discussion about pages calling themselves a Manual of Style without being the Wikipedia:Manual of Style, I am of the opinion that this (apparently) useful redirect (to a manual of style) should be kept, and that to say because it's not a link to the Manual of Style it should be deleted is unnecessary bureaucracy. A7V2 (talk) 06:05, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- Redirects for discussion is clearly the appropriate venue for discussing redirects. — Ⓜ️hawk10 (talk) 01:55, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: I have no preference as to if this should be kept or deleted, but I would note that many other MOS pseudo-prefixed pages link to places that are not WP:MOS. For example, MOS:IBID links to Wikipedia:Citing sources#IBID and MOS:EL links to a DAB with some MOS links but also two non-MOS links. This argument is to some extent WP:WAXy as it is essentially saying X does this and it's fine, but on the other hand I think it does establish that the rules for the MOS: pseudo-namespace are either not comprehensive or not enforced; neither of which are inherently a bad thing.

Gilman Hot Springs, ca
- Gilman Hot Springs, ca → Riverside County, California (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
The re-direct Gilman Hot Springs exists and quite rightly points to Gold Base. This redirect points to a wikilink in Riverside County, California which then links to Gold Base. I'd just re-point it but the duplication of 'Gilman Hot Springs' in the search bar is confusing for readers, there's no other Gilman Hot Springs to disambiguate from and the lowercase abbreviation of 'ca' is odd. Zindor (talk) 04:24, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- Delete: Seems unnecessary. OvertAnalyzer (talk) 14:53, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- Delete or retarget to Gold Base. There is also Gilman Hot Springs, California which targets the same section as Gilman Hot Springs. So probably not very useful, considering the forms with proper abbreviation ("CA" or "Cal." or "Ca.") don't exist, but also likely harmless and could be retargeted. But I agree the potential for cluttering of search results that can lead to confusion weighs slightly toward deletion. Mdewman6 (talk) 19:17, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Coastal waters
- Coastal waters → Territorial waters (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
marine coastal ecosystems is a better option for this redirect (under 'overview' in para 2 it talks about coastal seas). Territorial waters is not appropriate as they can stretch out dozens kilometers away from the shore into the pelagic. EMsmile (talk) 08:33, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- Retarget to Coast. I think marine coastal ecosystems is a bit too specific for this rather general redirect, there are all sorts of other properties of coastal waters that are not related to either it's ecology or the country that owns it. 192.76.8.78 (talk) 19:58, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- Coast is entirely about land, so I don't agree with that as a target. MB 22:41, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- I think Coast would be my second choice as a redirect. It could work. I don't think that "coast is entirely about land". See the lead of coast which says "as the area where land meets the ocean, or as a line that forms the boundary between the land and the ocean or a lake". Therefore, coastal waters is the water close to the coast, right? Another option could be Continental shelf. But marine coastal ecosystems would work quite fine, I think. EMsmile (talk) 23:43, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- Comment I agree Marine coastal ecosystem may be a bit too specific. I can't seem to identify a clearly good target. Options include Littoral zone and Continental shelf. Littoral zone is probably more on point, but the Continental shelf article is a little broader in content. Mdewman6 (talk) 00:51, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
Lot (fineness)
- Lot (fineness) → Lot (unit) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
There is no mention in Lot (unit) of a measurement of "fineness". I can find no such measure in the complete online Oxford English Dictionary; it is difficult to search online for this term, as "lot" is used in the auction sense. The redirect was created over an unsourced article which was a translation of the unsourced equivalent in de.wiki. There is nothing in the target article to help a reader looking for "Lot (fineness)", so the redirect is unhelpful and should be deleted. PamD 08:29, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- It's also interesting that the word "lot" does not occur in the long and detailed article Fineness. PamD 08:40, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep and recreate (sourced) article. You've summed it up. Lot (fineness) was rather hastily wiped on the basis of being uncited - something that could have been raised on the talk page - and converted into a redirect without checking the target was relevant. I've recreated the article in User space here, this time with references, so it's ready to go. The two articles should then be tweaked to refer to each other. Bermicourt (talk) 08:41, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- Comment. "Lot" is not mentioned in the article Fineness because it's focussed on the present-day situation; there is no history section. However, the Lot or Loth was a standard unit of fineness (and weight) in the German Empire until replaced by the French 1/1000 system that's still used today. Bermicourt (talk) 08:44, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Bermicourt: Then please just go ahead and revert the redirect again and upgrade the article, with your sources: the way you initially re-created it was an unsourced as it had always been, hence all this waste of time (though it was mildly interesting trawling through OED trying to find anything related to silver...). PamD 08:53, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

- @Bermicourt: Just a note that as a holder of the autopatrolled right, there is something more expected of you than dropping an unsourced translation, because you are sidestepping NPP scrutiny. You should absolutely expect such creations to be reverted, and the "easily findable sources" are your responsibility to provide. Alternatively, give up autopatrolled please. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 10:46, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for the reminder. However, WP:NPPCHK actually says "If the article is unreferenced... you may be able to improve the article by adding better references. Otherwise, add appropriate tag(s) to the top of the article (see collapsed box to the right)." So, no, I wouldn't expect it to be automatically reverted; nor should it be wiped and redirected to the wrong target. Far better would be a constructive discussion on the talk page and an appropriate tag. I spend plenty of time adding sources to unsourced material like this, so I really don't have a problem with that. Bermicourt (talk) 13:49, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- You seem to be intent on overlooking the fact that using the autopatrolled right implies that your articles are, if not perfect, at least free from fundamental issues right from the start. Because, repeating myself here, you are sidestepping most of the basic scrutiny that every other new article would be subjected to. If you don't realize that this is a problem, you definitely should not have that right. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 19:31, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Some other plausible if unlikely things someone searching this might be looking for, eg Vampire lifestyle and various vampire animals are also at the current target.

- If this title is going to refer to the disambiguation page then Big Bang Theory (disambiguation) should be moved to this tile, as redirecting to it would result in a WP:MALPLACED disambiguation page. This really is one of those cases where you can make reasonable arguments either way, from what I can tell the TV show appears to be the primary topic on the web and in traditional news media, in books it's a bit more split with some mentions of the scientific theory and in academic literature there's a significant amount of mentions of both. There's also the various concerns about WP:RECENTISM and what have you to consider.

La Nueva can mean things from WDCN-LD,Branded as La Nueva to La nueva Francia,an Argentinian film.Just like La Mega,I think La Nueva should be dabified. Danubeball (talk) 17:53, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: La nueva Francia, and any other titled work beginning with "La Nueva..." (La Nueva Cuba, La Nueva España, La Nueva cigarra, etc.) are partial title matches, and so likely do not need disambiguating ('La nueva' simply means "The new" in Spanish). La Nueva Provincia seems to have rebranded to simply La Nueva, which was my original impetus for creating the redirect (that article should perhaps be moved to La Nueva or La Nueva (newspaper)). Few other entities on English Wikipedia seem to be titled with an unqualified "La Nueva": radio stations like La Nueva 87.7, WODA#La Nueva 94, KQQK#La Nueva "Z" and WIRA all seem to be primarily qualified with the FM/AM frequency or other brand on official websites and branding, raising the issue of which name, if any, should be a primary topic. --Animalparty!

- Keep or Move La Nueva Provincia over redirect. I started creating the disambiguation before realizing that the stations are PTMs too. Translating so it makes more sense, "The New 100" would make sense as branding for a new radio station at that frequency, but "The New" without the frequency would not make sense—it's missing the subject. I'm happy to be proved wrong if someone can find branding for any (or all?) of these that drop the frequency, but as for now I have concluded that the Argentine newspaper to be the only valid subject identified. -- Tavix (talk) 22:00, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

- Keep - the New Tretyakov Gallery is administratively part of the Tretyakov Gallery and we have a section in that article on the New Tretyakov Gallery - Tretyakov Gallery#Gallery of modern art. We also have a single line stub article on the Central House of Artists, Moscow, which existed as an art gallery and venue before becoming part of the Tretyakov Gallery in 1985, at which point it was shared between the artists' union and the Tretyakov, where it housed the gallery's 20th century art collections. It was named the New Tretyakov Gallery in 2015, and the artists' union moved out in 2019, leaving it entirely in the hands of the Tretyakov. Until the New Tretyakov Gallery redirect is turned into an article along the lines of ru:Новая Третьяковка (which I have been mulling over doing) then the redirect should remain to the Tretyakov Gallery article as a valid search term giving useful information on the topic.

I don't think it's likely that someone searching for either of these titles is looking for our article on the Cold War: although "socialism" and "capitalism" certainly are mentioned there, it doesn't discuss the concepts of socialism and capitalism in any detail.

Pilot (The Gifted)
- Pilot (The Gifted) → Gifted (disambiguation)#Film and television (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
This redirect initially pointed to The Gifted (TV series)#ep1 (now The Gifted (American TV series)) which listed the first episode as being called "Pilot" at the time (permalink). However, this seems untrue; the cited source said it would be a television pilot but not specifically entitled "Pilot" ([1]). Indeed, when the episode was released, it was called eXposed. My inclination is to delete this redirect, as the title was never real, but I'm not sure if precedent for TV series is to redirect "Pilot ([show name])" to the actual pilot episode even if it was titled differently, so I'll leave my thoughts as weak and let others more familiar with the matter discuss. eviolite (talk) 23:59, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Warren Ferguson
- Warren Ferguson → List of The Andy Griffith Show characters#Recurring (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
This title, currently pointing to List of The Andy Griffith Show characters, is a minor character appearing in one season of the show. Although the page gets more views than Warren J. Ferguson, I would propose that a real judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is historically more significant than a fictional little-seen Mayberry deputy. I would at least have a disambiguation page at this title. BD2412 T 05:09, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- Comment While he was only in one season of the show, he is a recognizable character (and reprised the role in other shows) so there is some degree of notability. It actually wasn't originally a redirect. There was a page for the character, but it was changed to a redirect primarily because the article was not properly or effectively sourced. But properly rewritten, it could sustain an article. I can agree that with more than one Warren Ferguson, one could make the case for disambig, but I'll wait to what other comments and/or support/opposition is discussed before committing one way or the other.

Surf beach

I added a hatnote to the current target to the Australian localities of Surf Beach, New South Wales and Surf Beach, Victoria but am wondering what, if anything, is the primary topic for this term. It seems very generic, and could simply refer to a beach where people surf? When Surf beach was created it was a redirect to Beach. Also note the only current article to link to either is Woodside Beach, Victoria which links to Surf Beach clearly in the generic sense. A7V2 (talk) 09:35, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: At the time the redirects were created, the NSW and Victoria pages did not exist yet. As noted, Surf beach was originally created as a redirect to Beach, but I changed it in 2014 after I was reverted for adding a corresponding Template:Redirect on Beach per WP:DIFFCAPS. AFAIK going through Category:Surfing locations, there is no other generic article or list that is specifically about "beaches where people surf", and there cannot be dictionary definitions listed. Of course, it would be fairly easy to be bold and remove the redirect and create a disambiguation page now. All three do not get very much daily page views, a primary topic based on usage is not statistically significant.[2] My question is whether do the NSW and Victoria pages even pass WP:NGEO to warrant separate pages at this time? The only sources cited on those two pages is census information, the geographical names board, and OpenStreetMap without any other independent, third-party reliable sources. But that is probably for another discussion venue. Zzyzx11 (talk) 10:24, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- I can't (or at least won't...) comment on the notability of the two Australian articles except to say for the Victorian one I never knew it was a locality before seeing the article, just a beach. Yes I think a DAB would work. There's no wikitionary entry so we could either put at the top something like "A surf beach is a beach commonly used for surfing...", or just go straight to "Surf beach may refer to..." and then list beach and surfing under see also, perhaps accompanied by Beach (disambiguation) and Surfing (disambiguation).

The current target of this redirect is rather surprising/astonishing since it's not about the actually subject of "DNA experiments", leads to a subject named "DNA experiment", or a list of experiments using DNA. I would have to believe there's a better target, but I'm not sure what. Steel1943 (talk) 20:00, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- Nominator comment: For reference, a search for the term "DNA experiment" (DNA experiment doesn't exist) returns several examples of experiments that utilize DNA. In regards to an actual retargeting option for this redirect, what seems to be the best option I found is List of experiments#Biology, but even that does't seem to be good enough since the section includes several experiments not directly related to DNA. Possibly deletion would be the better option here so the search results are not hidden by an existing redirect forwarding readers to a specific page. Steel1943 (talk) 20:54, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

- Also, this redirect targeting where it does reminds me of a RFD I started a few years back for a redirect titled "Other liqueurs". (See Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 August 26#Other liqueurs.) The redirect targeted the section List of liqueurs#Other liqueurs, which was essentially just the name of a section header in List of liqueurs, but not about a subject called/named "Other liqueurs". I feel the same is the issue with this nominated redirect: It targets a section titled "DNA-experiments", but it's not actually about the topic of the redirect, but rather the term's use in respect to the subject of the article where the section is placed ... which is unhelpful if a reader is attempting to locate information about the subject of the redirect.

- If any content were to be added anywhere to satisfy a basic helpful functionality for this redirect (with as little effort possible), it would probably be to add a subsection at List of experiments#Biology by separating the ones listed there which involve DNA, and possibly even add some more "DNA experiments" to that subsection that are not currently listed at List of experiments#Biology (if more are known).

Steel1943 (talk) 21:57, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thus "List of experiments in biology" resembles a disambiguation page, but might actually describe the arc of a narrative? Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 21:58, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- I hope the following answers your question: If a redirect named List of experiments in biology was created to target List of experiments#Biology, that would make sense since the redirect is targeting a location where the subject of the redirect is located. Steel1943 (talk) 22:04, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- So how does this redirect case RFD differ from DNA#History? What if DNA experiment were to become a disambiguation page to List of experiments on DNA; Scientific method; DNA#History ?--Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 01:56, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
- I can see how concerns about the redirect to a crucial experiment would cover up search results, but wouldn't a disambiguation page (sample above) handle this? Why can't I just start writing such a dab page? Is the rationale for this page meant to include other editors? --Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 02:28, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
- So I ran the Nominator's search for DNA experiment: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=DNA+experiment&ns0=1&ns9=1&ns11=1 , and found a useful list which could be exploited (it's actually the first time I have found the Wikipedia Search to be usable): What I refer to is the type of Narrative paradigm called a crosscut, itself a disambiguator page. There is a sport on the Internet called the Wikipedia game, in which every article in the encyclopedia seems to have a root page: philosophy. This game has led to some users to actually edit encyclopedia articles, to keep the Narrative alive. In turn, other editors intervene, to break the chain to philosophy, in a battle between good and evil, an infinite game, or the conflict continuum#Competition continuum, or the Wikipedia:Manual of Style.

Steel1943 (talk) 22:04, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- So the RFD idea/purpose is not about the significance of the term in a context, but about the term per se? Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 21:41, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- Also, this redirect targeting where it does reminds me of a RFD I started a few years back for a redirect titled "Other liqueurs". (See Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 August 26#Other liqueurs.) The redirect targeted the section List of liqueurs#Other liqueurs, which was essentially just the name of a section header in List of liqueurs, but not about a subject called/named "Other liqueurs". I feel the same is the issue with this nominated redirect: It targets a section titled "DNA-experiments", but it's not actually about the topic of the redirect, but rather the term's use in respect to the subject of the article where the section is placed ... which is unhelpful if a reader is attempting to locate information about the subject of the redirect.

- Retarget to Genetic engineering. I can't make sense of the above discussion or the current state of the Scientific method article, but genetic engineering, to me, seems like the obvious topic someone who entered "DNA experiments" in the search box would be looking for.

- Retarget - I would also take this to 'history of molecular biology' given that scientific research on the practical side into DNA has preceded what we tend to think of as specific 'genetic eingeering'. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 13:58, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- Delete both. "DNA experiment" is simply too ambiguous to be a good redirect. It could refer to many different types of methodologies/techniques as well as numerous historically important results. Disambiguation doesn't make sense because "DNA experiment" isn't really a specific term that could refer to multiple specific things, instead it is a plausible search term, and we should let the search function do its job, as a disambiguation page could never be exhaustive. That said, since the discussion is trending toward retargeting somewhere, History of molecular biology seems like a superior target to Genetic engineering, as genetic engineering is much too specific (lots of scientific work, past and present, that could be described as a "DNA experiment" is outside the context of genetic engineering).

Duck Ponds
- Duck Ponds → Lara, Victoria (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
This redirect has targeted the Lara article since 2005 as it is, according to the article, a former name for the area. However I really don't think this is the primary topic. I'm not sure what is the primary topic (if there is one) however. Presumably it would be either Duck Ponds, South Australia or simply Duck pond. There's a general lack of disambiguation in the "duck pond" area anyway however, so it might be good to have a disambiguation page which could include the plural also, including other terms such as Duck Pond (Judges Guild), Ducky Pond, Duck Pond Run and Duck Pond mine but again I'm not sure. Also note Duck ponds doesn't exist. A7V2 (talk) 07:52, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- I have assembled links here. Of the pages you mentioned only 2 are explicitly plural. If i had to !not-vote, I'd say make a dab (or just move mine I don't mind) and point duck ponds at it, or make two and split the singular and plural, I really don't know. Happy Editing--IAmChaos 23:48, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
- I think unless someone has a strong opinion on a primary topic for Duck Ponds, we should retarget to Duck pond (disambiguation) (which I will shortly move your draft to since it can at the very least be hatted from Duck pond). I don't think it's worth having a dab for just two entries. A7V2 (talk) 03:41, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

Per WP:SSRT and per just ... why? It's a word in a different language, just like there are millions of words. Fram (talk) 07:38, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: Due to the ongoing Siege of Mariupol (where fighters of the Azov Battalion have been surrounded by the Russian Armed Forces), ꑭ has become a recent Twitter trend, and there's no applicable Wikipedia article for it, so I thought it'd probably be of benefit to create a soft redirect to Wiktionary in case curious readers came looking for it. That's the full extent of my rationale, essentially. --benlisquareT•C•E 07:45, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- For some extra info, see Ідея нації and Wolfsangel#Post World War II symbolism; people are using ꑭ to represent that symbol in text as it looks similar. It is for sure a plausible search term, though I don't know much about wiktionary redirects so I'll leave it to someone else to !vote on what the appropriate action is. Endwise (talk) 08:08, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- (ec)If you created this because people might be looking for Wolfsangel but mistakenly, somehow, use the Yi character instead, then why not change this Wiktionary redirect into a redirect to Wolfsangel? Your reasoning seem to be that people are looking for this, using this symbol as a search term (as it is a Twitter tag), and then you would deliberately send them to a Wiktionary page they have no interest in? That makes no sense or at least isn't reader-friendly. Fram (talk) 08:10, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- Of course, a redirect to Wolfsangel could potentially work as well. The Unicode Consortium doesn't consider ꑭ a wolfsangel, however; it fits within the Sichuan Yi Syllables codeblock at codepoint U+A46D. I'll leave it up to everyone else to decide where the redirect should go (or whether it should be redirected at all). I've considered amending wikt:ꑭ to add a short mention regarding the Azov usage, however ultimately opted not to because the rule of thumb provided at wikt:Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion is minimum of one year of attested usage, and ꑭ has not been used for more than a month in the Azov sense. --benlisquareT•C•E 08:15, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

The reason to delete of "unlikely search term" to me is the weakest reason to delete since no actual harm is caused by keeping. Since there is a reason to keep, that should overrule that this is an unlikely search term since, in the unlikely event of someone searching this, they will be taken to what they are looking for. The fact that this has existed at this title for so long is also a reason to keep as we risk breaking external links (again for no real benefit). A7V2 (talk) 03:05, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Poor housing
- Poor housing → Slum (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
- Poor housing projects → Affordable housing (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
The term "poor housing" doesn't seem to be clear on what it is meant to refer. For one, these two redirects target two topics that are almost exclusive from each other, considering Affordable housing is not always part of a Slum. In addition, the phrase seems to not specifically refer to either target of these redirects. (The article Slum does have the phrase "poor hous*" [* = wild card] mentioned a few times, but not in a way where the subject of the redirect and the target are synonyms or identified as a subtopic of the other.) With the current scenario, it would probable be better to delete both of these redirects so that Wikipedia's search function can help readers find what subject they are attempting to locate rather than pigeonhole them into arriving to these articles. (Also, the similar redirect Poor housing project does not exist.) Steel1943 (talk) 19:20, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Stirrer (cooking)
- Stirrer (cooking) → Mixer (appliance) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
Vague redirect. There are several items related to "cooking" that could be used to stir, and neither the current target or any other target (to my knowledge) could specifically be called a "stirrer". Steel1943 (talk) 19:34, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

- keep. I came to this word when processing food and drink data (for the Europeana food and drink project). It's a legitimate food related term. The best target that exists is the current one. The page Mixer (appliance) seems to describe any food mixer, its not limited to egg or dough mixing. I suggest to the previous poster to add a section about pot stirring. Furthermore, "stirring" and "mixing" are synonymous in this context. The only other page mentioning "stirrer" is Magnetic stirrer, which is clearly not appropriate for food. --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 07:04, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, I noticed the fact that Stirrer and Stirrer (cooking) both existed prior to making this nomination, as well as the fact that the target of Stirrer has no {{Redirect}} hatnote on it, which it should since Stirrer (cooking) exists. In all honesty, there's probably no WP:PRIMARYTOPIC redirect target for the phrase "Stirrer" in the first place, and the base page probably needs to become a disambiguation page, deleted, or converted to a set index (in that order). However, in regards to the use of the "(cooking)" disambiguator: My initial concern still stands since there are whisks and several spoon-related topics which could also be referred to as "stirrers" since they can be and/or are used to stir.

Misspelling of "se'or", an ancient Hebrew word for starter dough that is sometimes compared to sourdough starter.

≬
Another pointless Wiktionary symbol redirect. The wiktionary target here is useless, consisting of a single word (the unicode character name) with no attempt at explaining what this symbol actually means or when it is used. This also fails the conditions for soft redirection laid out at WP:SSRT, this is neither a commonly wikified words or a page that has been repeatedly recreated. 192.76.8.77 (talk) 17:06, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. All single unicode characters should be blue links, and Neel.arunabh has expanded the target at Wiktionary so that it gives an explanation of the meaning and how it is used. The WP:SOFTSP guideline is not a set of requirements that every soft redirect must meet, but a guideline that lists the most common situations where one is appropriate.

Thryduulf (talk) 03:24, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- Knock it off with the exaggeration. If you search this character, there is a box on the right side that says
Results from sister projects
with a link to the Wiktionary page. It's one click from the search page and it's one click via a soft redirect. There's no difference. Also, if your research fails to find anything worthwhile, then it's not going to be a plausible search term and would thus fail the criteria for soft redirects to Wiktionary. -- Tavix (talk) 03:35, 9 May 2022 (UTC)- Firstly every individual unicode character with a defined meaning is a plausible search term, this is widely established (otherwise we would routinely link them in the tables of unicode characters or routinely keep them here. Secondly, there is no exaggeration - search results are not guaranteed to contain links to Wiktionary, nor are they always immediately presented to a searcher (what they see depends what device they are using, how they are navigating and whether they can start new articles; for example someone following a redlink on desktop will be invited to search and/or create an article first and have to choose to look at search results), so even if someone does see the sister projects box, and does immediately recognise that it's the only useful thing they will see from the internal search results, then it's not always just a single click away. Thirdly, I didn't say that my research found anything worthwhile - the internal search engine found nothing relevant, external search engines found content suitable for Wiktionary but not for Wikipedia.
- Finally, not a single benefit of deletion over a soft redirect has been established - even if the Wiktionary article were always one click away after deletion (which it wouldn't be) then it would still offer no advantages over the soft redirect. Thryduulf (talk) 09:54, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

- Consensus here has long been that individual unicode characters (outside the private use area) are plausible search terms - every time the evidence of page views etc is presented it's clear that people do look up these characters on Wikipedia (and frankly why wouldn't they?). There is no disagreement that when there is a single reasonable target the characters should redirect to that. The disagreement here is over whether there is a reasonable target or not. The other type of disagreement about single characters are over (1) which of multiple reasonable targets is best; and (2) whether a red link/search results are better than (one or more) target(s) that are alright but not great.

- Do not close prematurely. The example currently used in Wiktionary does not make any sense and is not attested anywhere; likely just a (misguided) attempt to apply the name "between" literally. See wikt:Wiktionary:Tea room/2022/May#≬. Right now, it seems that we are redirecting to a page that consists of nothing but the Unicode character name and unverifiable, likely factual errors; I'm not comfortable having the discussion end before a conclusion on what the symbol actually means (if it does mean anything standard). eviolite (talk) 13:25, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

In my opinion templates on the English Wikipedia should use English language names that are recognisable to the majority of editors - if you were editing an article and came across {{Absatz}} I don't think it would be obvious what the template was. Having a bot replace them with english wikipedia equivalents seems like a good compromise. 192.76.8.94 (talk) 09:46, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

- Delete as ambiguous, or create disambiguation page. It is unsurprising that some members of the cricket project would want the redirect to go to a cricket article, but none of the people mentioned in WP articles are sufficiently notable for a standalone article and there is no evidence to suggest this umpire should be the primary topic and that readers would be looking for him above any of the others; indeed most readers may be surprised to find themselves looking at a list of umpires. Arguments about article history are invalid since the article was deleted at AFD, confirming the lack of notability of the umpire; and the incoming redirects are there due to the deleted article, so they have no relevance either.

If this redirect is not deleted, we may want to consider redirecting readers to a page that is not an article so it seems more "official", such as one of the two aforementioned pages. Steel1943 (talk) 12:21, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- Changed to "weak delete" since yeah, I definitely understand the WP:IAR reason to "keep" per everyone who has participated thus far, but it still has the non-encyclopedic issues I mentioned. Steel1943 (talk) 12:14, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - WP:IAR to save redirect which may help in suicide prevention.--06:52, 15 April 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaranoFan (talk • contribs)
- Keep. There is a slight chance this redirect could help someone and I can't find anything when searching that this would be in the way of. So what we have is a redirect that at worst is harmless and at best could save a life. Given that, I cannot see any justification for deletion. Thryduulf (talk) 07:57, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

- Delete while definitely well-intentioned, there is little to no chance of anybody searching for this phrase when looking for phone numbers, and trying to use WP:IAR as a basis for keeping is frankly just a cheap cop-out. It's not beneifical at all and makes no sense to have redirects whose title cannot even be found within the target page (and I cannot think of a plausible place to implement it).

Keep, takes readers to the article they want/need to get to.— J947 ‡ message ⁓ edits 23:20, 18 April 2022 (UTC)- Strong Delete (or maybe disambiguate). Sorry, but I see a zero chance of someone trying to find a suicide hotline while typing this in. On the other hand, there are a few minor references of this phrase so search results would be better here (eg: Heavy Heavy Low Low, You'll Never Tame Me, Tales from Wyoming, 60 Second Wipe Out). I'd be open to disambiguating, but it'd be a bit too trivial for my tastes. -- Tavix (talk) 23:29, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

- Don't keep the scientific jury is still out on whether crisis hotlines are effective are helpful at all; while well-intentioned, the current target is non-neutral and could come off as condescending. Deleting would be fine IMO, as would the retargeting suggestions. I could also see this being a crude but plausible attempt by a reader to find thee article for Suicide, so that can be considered as a possible target as well. signed, Rosguill talk 22:52, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per Rosguill. I don't believe a CNR is helpful in this instance, as that info page is geared towards editors rather than readers – probably not helpful for readers to contact WMF or admins. eviolite (talk) 19:18, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
- Comment although I supported for keeping the target, I'm also fine with retargetting to Wikipedia:Responding to threats of harm. --Lenticel (talk) 01:18, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
- Dabify. There are several articles that might see this useful as a dab page, including I Wanna Die in Los Angeles, Spawn (1997 film)#Soundtrack (which contains the song "No Remorse (I Wanna Die)"), and Reverence (song) (which infamously uses the phrase). I would think it fully appropriate to include a hatnote in the dab for WP:IAR reasons, but I think that the current hard redirect runs into WP:ASTONISH issues and wouldn't be significantly more effective at getting people to click on the suicide hotlines page than having the text in a hatnote on a dab page. — Mhawk10 (talk) 04:41, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. In the event someone is contemplating dying, this would actually be a useful redirect as although they might not be looking for this page exactly, it would indeed be helpful, just not in the "traditional" sense of Wikipedia. Case in point, WP:EMERGENCY provides a mental health resource link if the person on the page is in the same situation I described earlier. 172.112.210.32 (talk) 15:08, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- I hate to add another proposal here, but I think it could be a good compromise. Rosguill points out that Suicide is a plausible target here. That article has, by special community override in 2019 of WP:NODISCLAIMERS and MOS:HATNOTE, a hatnote link to Suicide prevention. In other words, retargeting to Suicide would still satisfy the core of what the keep side wants here, without some of the identified downsides of directing people to a particular kind of resource. As such, I suggest we retarget to Suicide. I'll note that, like Tavix, I see the potential DAB targets as not meriting a DAB here. But the same logic of this retarget suggestion could be applied to a DAB, just having its lede sentence be "I wanna die is a phrase often associated with desire to commit suicide, or even copying the hatnote from the suicide article (which also appears at Suicide methods). -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 06:01, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

- Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 March 2 § Emoticon or Emoji? – provisionally retarget to Emoji without prejudice against retargeting to an article about the specific concept represented
It seems clear to me that this emoji does not represent confusion but disconfort or being upset. Therefore, the redirect should either a) be retargetted to Comfort as it is the same place where Discomfort leads and also because "uncomfortable" and "discomfort" are in bold in the lede, b) be retargeted to the Wiktionary entry 'upset', or c) be deleted if no good redirect is found. Veverve (talk) 12:01, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- Just noting that "Confused face" is the official Unicode name for this. See [3]. Gonnym (talk) 12:17, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- I do not know who gave it this name, but this face does not look confused to me. Emojis (see the table at Emoji#Unicode blocks) seem to redirect to what they represent, not to the name given to them (WP:SURPRISE). Veverve (talk) 12:44, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. Just to make sure my comment has a clear !vote associated with it. I'll also repeat what I said in a few other emoji related RfDs - deletion should never be a valid option. Gonnym (talk) 14:51, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. As Gonnym said, this is the confused face emoji, and will appear differently depending on a user's platform. Its current target is consistent with how we treat similar emojis.- Eureka Lott 15:10, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. "Confused face" is closest to Confusion. -- Tavix (talk) 16:25, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

- Keep as it's officially known as "confused face" so the current target appears suitable. Rubbish computer Ping me or leave a message on my talk page 12:15, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Comment/query. While WP:UCRN is about article titles and not about redirects, I think the spirit of that policy is relevant here. In other words, just as we don't choose article titles based on "official names" of things, we shouldn't redirect emojis based on their "official names" but rather (1) based on how they're actually used, and (2) what's most likely to be of use to the reader. The problem is, I have no idea how this is actually used or what readers who search for emojis on Wikipedia are looking for. @Veverve: when you say the emoji represents discomfort or upset rather than confusion, are you speaking about how the image appears to you or how you've seen it used by others? The latter would be a good case for retargeting, especially if examples can be found; the former not so much. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 12:49, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Arms & Hearts:
when you say the emoji represents discomfort or upset rather than confusion, are you speaking about how the image appears to you or how you've seen it used by others?
: I would say yes to both. However, I found no Pew Research Center study on how this emoji was perceived, so the way I saw this emoji being used remains an anecdotal evidence. - None of the RSs discussing it are of any help:
- Dictionary.com states the emoji "expresses confusion but also a range of other emotions, including bafflement, displeasure, disappointment, mild sadness, and self-pity. All of that can be earnest … or it can be ironic, you decide."
- The Reader's Digest states: "We were surprised to find out that this emoji is called 'confused face,' but on further reflection, it does have an aura of bewilderment."
- Veverve (talk) 13:06, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks Veverve. The fact we're bound to rely on anecdotal evidence here makes me lean towards deleting, but I'll wait and see if anyone else can offer any clarity. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 16:52, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Arms & Hearts:
- As with @Arms & Hearts:, I am definitely sympathetic to the idea that it should perhaps reflect the most common meaning rather than just a redirect based on the name. However, if we don't have a single obvious meaning, perhaps a short disambig page would be practical? "😕 ("confused face") is an emoji which has multiple meanings, and may be used to refer to: confusion ; disappointment; sadness..."
- This would let us cope with the moderately ambiguous ones which don't rise to the level of needing a full article like 😂, and it avoids giving a strange result for the readers who do think it means confusion. Andrew Gray (talk) 19:49, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - how this appears in different font schemes is irrelevant. Unicode defines characters so that they have a universal set meaning upon investigation. That definition is generally what we follow; WP:EMOJI. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 23:21, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

- Keep as the intended meaning. Do not disambiguate as such a page would be predicated entirely on original research. eviolite (talk) 11:41, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. Arguments for keeping boil down to "it's the official name", which I find unconvincing for reasons laid out above, and I don't see any significant harm in deleting. Deleting also seems much more closely aligned with WP:EMOJI, which says redirects from emojis
are often kept if the character has a clear and definite meaning ... The outcome is usually deletion if the glyph is unclear
. There's no alternative target that would be obviously preferable to the current target, and I agree with Eviolite that a disambiguation page wouldn't be appropriate (so keeping would be my second choice). – Arms & Hearts (talk) 19:16, 23 May 2022 (UTC) - The current redirect isn't very useful. Despite its official name, it doesn't look very much like a confused face in my browser. Moreover, by landing at Confusion, the reader isn't keyed in on the fact that it even has an official meaning -- the redirection feels like an OR choice by a random editor. Unfortunately, by deleting the redirect we fail to provide even that information. This case would be best served by some kind of list of emojis, or a soft redirect to wikt:😕.

- Retarget to Presbyterian_Church_(USA)#Structure_2 with a hatnote or disambiguate. PMAB looks like an ambiguous acronym, and an onwiki search quickly confirms my intuition, furnishing the following meanings:
- a mention in Presbyterian_Church_(USA)#Structure_2 (unexplained, but from context I think it stands for Presbyterian Mission Agency Board)
- an acronym(?) for Pharmacological, Medical and Agronomical Biotechnology (mentioned in University of Science and Technology of Hanoi)
- a mention in ref #6 of Enrique Salem which turns out to be about the President's Management Advisory Board (a committee of the White House that existed during the Obama administration), though I dunno if that's notable.

Social unit
- Social unit → Level of analysis (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
This was merged to level of analysis, but over the years, any mention of the term 'social unit' was removed from the target. The merge discussion (see talk page of both mentioned articlsS) was not attended - only the proposer suggested it and then carried out the uncontroversial merge. My query is inconclusive on whether this topic deserves its own entry, and as for the merger, I think unit of analysis would be better. Anyway, I am not sure what do; the current redirect is pointless (again, the target doesn't mention it), but deleting it would result in a loss of a past article without an AfD. Redirecting to unit of analysis is not ideal as that article also doesn't mention this. The old article did have some reliably referenced content, and I am frankly tempted to suggest restoring this pre-merge version, which could be AfD if anyone so desires. In either case, this redirect is currently not sustainable. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:05, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

I stumbled upon this confusing set of redirects today for some reason, and I fail to understand why these emojis were placed together or if they have anything in common (i.e. What does a cat have in common with a rocket?). I then searched the target for clues, but it doesn't seem to provide any information on why these redirects were created. Deletion seems to be the only way to go here, unless someone finds a better target than the current one, which needless to say is completely unhelpful. CycloneYoris talk! 23:32, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. You might not have an updated browser if you can't see these correctly. There is zero reason to delete valid emojis. These emojis were created by Microsoft and had notable coverage. See [4], [5], etc. Gonnym (talk) 01:06, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

- I'm tempted to say we should retarget the astro cat emoji to Félicette, but that probably wouldn't be helpful. All of these are examples of emoji ZWJ sequences, but that's (obviously) a redlink. They're Windows-only emoji and were introduced in Windows 10 version 1607, which might be the best target for now. That article mentions emoji updates, but not these specifically. - Eureka Lott 02:19, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

- Here's why I made these redirects: It may not look it, but these are actually valid emojis. On your screen, they may look like two random emojis, but on some platforms, they're actually a single emoji combined together by a Zero Width Joiner. Take this: 👁️🗨️. It may look like one Emoji, but it's actually a merger of these two emoji with a ZWJ in between: 👁🗨. Pacingpal (talk) 01:38, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

TartarTorte 19:08, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Retargeting an emoji to Emoji is only marginally more useful than redirecting a single letter to Letter (alphabet). A subtopic like Emoji#Joining is a different matter. --BDD (talk) 01:11, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Looking at the map on the article, this looks like too narrow of a target for this redirect. feminist (talk) Слава Україні! 04:00, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
- The hatnote indicates a retarget to West Country is in order. However, I would like someone from the UK to check the appropriateness of that; I am unsure whether further north and less westward parts of England are also included in such a definition. Bundled in West England, which targets the same place. — J947 ‡ message ⁓ edits 04:44, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
- I created the redirect Western England to fix a redlink in Phonological history of English close front vowels - diff. It's in use there and in History of Wales. The "phonology" article distinguishes between Southern England and Western England. The lead of Southern England says that it includes the West Country (roughly, southwest England below the Severn). Western England is therefore different from the West Country, and retargetting there would be very wrong. The "history" article is talking about the area of England east of modern Wales, north of the Severn.
- I agree that the current target is wrong (and I can't think why I pointed Western England there): West of England is a modern regional authority within the West Country. Retarget both to West Midlands (region), which is broadly the part of England immediately east of Wales. Narky Blert (talk) 07:32, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

- Weak Delete The current redirect to West of England is just wrong. The West of England is just a rebranded name for the former county of Avon and part of Western England rather than the whole, so is an inappropriate redirect. West Country would be a better redirect but as others have pointed Western England or West England could refer to more northernly areas of Western England as well.

- I don't think so. That doesn't include things like the Dot-com bubble, for example. The problem, as I see it, is that "financial crisis" is such a nebulous, ill-defined, overly broad term. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:40, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

- American Financial Crisis was an occasionally-used contemporary media name/reference for the 2008-2009 recession, at that time. So, to answer the earlier question, the redirect was there because people were still figuring out what to call it, while it was happening. Since different names for that event subsequently became popular, it's likely better to redirect to a more general term or list. Xaliqen (talk) 01:14, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Left-wing fascism
- Left-wing fascism → Fascism#Position in the political spectrum (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
Red fascism exists, and the section Fascism#Position in the political spectrum does not cover what one would expect by typing "Left-wing fascism". I feel maybe the redirect should be either retargeted to Red fascism, or turned into a DAB with Red fascism and Fascism#Position in the political spectrum. Veverve (talk) 12:15, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete The original article was deleted because there is no body of literature to explain the notability of the expression. Basically, six authors had written "left-wing fascism," but they all meant different things and did not refer to one another. It's like the term large fish. Each person using the expression will have a different meaning and there is no notable topic. TFD (talk) 21:16, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete because it has different meanings? What? I don't understand how anyone could have a problem with Left-wing fascism redirecting to Fascism. Where else would the reader learn about what "left-wing fascism" is (and its various meanings) other than the article Fascism? Delete because there is no notable topic? Double what? Since when do redirects need to be notable? I mean, kind of the point of redirects is that they're used for search terms that don't have a notable topic... like left-wing facism... Are you new to RFD? :-P Levivich 16:37, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - "Left-wing fascism" is discussed at the target, "Fascism#Position in the political spectrum" (search for "fascist left"). It is not discussed at the proposed new target, "Red fascism". As far as I know, it's not discussed at any other potential target except the current one. Readers who want to know what "left-wing fascism" is will find out by reading about it at the article "Fascism". I don't understand what the problem is.

- "Delete" does not mean "delete and do not redirect", and no one objected to redirecting. Redirect was suggested partway through by one voter, and the only other voter to vote afterwards agreed. We could ping everyone who voted and see what the think. I'm still baffled that anyone would want to delete this redirect. Why erase this term from the encyclopedia, it's an obvious search term, and readers should be pointed to somewhere that explains what it is (and isn't). "Cuz the AFD" is a pretty poor argument. What is your substantive objection to this redirect? Levivich 05:22, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

, which is exactly what they should see when they search for "left-wing fascism". Do you not want to educate readers that the mainstream view is that fascism is not left-wing? We don't accomplish that by censoring the term, by removing it entirely from the encyclopedia. Hook or crook my foot. You seriously think I'm trying to say fascism is left wing? Ffs, SS. Levivich 16:04, 26 April 2022 (UTC)- I have no real idea what you want, what I do know is this has been an issue in the past. I suspect that if this redirect is kept it will be an issue again, for exactly the reason you state "I wanted to find out about the truth behind "left-wing fascism".

So we are (in effect) invot9iomg people to add something about left wing fascism. Slatersteven (talk) 16:14, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
- What problems? This redirect has existed for a year, we've had no problems. And the target does say fascism is not left wing, I just quoted it. Sheesh, how is "fascism is right wing" not the same as "fascism is not left wing"? There's a whole section in the fascism article called "position on the political spectrum", which is the target of this redirect. I honestly don't know what you're talking about when you say the target doesn't talk about it, when there's a whole section devoted to it. Levivich 16:54, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

- NOT delete. I know this is not one of the normal options but my !vote really is "NOT delete". There are multiple arguable options here, including the status quo, but deletion is not one of them. My "tentative delete" vote on the AfD was based on the awful state of the article that was proposed for deletion not a desire to expunge the term completely. In fact, I said that
"it may be that there is scope for a valid article on this subject"
. If somebody searches for the term then we need to give them what they want. The problem is working out what that is. Some may be chuds, or those bamboozled by chuds, looking for anything to support the idiotic belief that fascism is left wing. For them, the current target is perfect. It explains where fascism really lies in the political spectrum. Far from legitimising this silly phrase, anything we can do to funnel people searching for it towards the truth of the matter is worthwhile. (There is a lot to be said for deliberately making redirects so that anybody searching for edgelord terminology gets pointed towards accurate information that will help to deflate whatever misconceptions caused them to do that specific search.) Others may be looking for something more specific without knowing the correct term to search for e.g. Red fascism or Strasserism. I don't think we can guess which of those they want so a retargeting to Red fascism would be arbitrary and almost certainly unhelpful to more people than it helps. I am not against a disambiguation page but it absolutely must prioritise the current target as the main item if it is to be valid. It would also need careful watching to prevent anybody morphing it back into anything like the awful mess that got deleted, as well as to keep an eye out for general POV pushing. Maybe it is more trouble than it is worth? I'm not sure so I'm not going to advocate a specific outcome here. I just want to be clear that my delete !vote on the AfD was specific to that AfD and does not carry over to this discussion. --DanielRigal (talk) 17:29, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

- Delete, probably The term is highly problematical and I'm not sure that a satisfactory article on the topic could ever be written. The target doesn't actually mention or explain it. Also, note in passing the article about a book called Liberal fascism which in its lead says: "...the mainstream view among historians and political scientists that maintains fascism is a far-right ideology" . I'd lean towards delete, else add more content at the target plus a redirect hatnote to Red fascism and Liberal fascism. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 13:24, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- Not delete Keep. Unfortunately, Wikipedia is getting a reputation for left-wing bias and when students, researchers and the general public discover that articles offering counterarguments to Wikipedia’s ‘perceived wisdom’ are being deleted irrespective of their merits they will assume bias and be correct.Inadvertent Consequences (talk) 11:22, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

- Keep per Levivich and DanielRigal, the information at the target is informative to a reader searching this term, as it both explains the RS consensus perspective of where fascism is positioned on the political spectrum, and provides additional context on the use of fascism as a pejorative for non-rightist authoritarians. signed, Rosguill talk 20:40, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. I think Levivich and DanielRigal's arguments are very compelling but ultimately founder on the the question of utility to the reader in the absence of a mention in the target. Redirects don't have to be mentioned in the target in absolutely every case, but I struggle to think of a case where it wouldn't be necessary, or wouldn't lead to avoidable confusion, for the name of a political concept to point to a target where that concept isn't directly discussed. This is compounded by the fact that there is a body of scholarship on "left-wing fascism" unrelated to right-wing both-sides-ism or Jonah Goldberg-type nonsense (I'm thinking mostly of work by Jürgen Habermas), which could be covered in the encyclopaedia but isn't; given we don't have any encyclopaedic coverage of that topic or related topics, we're better off making the reader aware of that rather than pointing them to something tangentially related and without a mention of the term. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 19:08, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:S
- Wikipedia:S → Help:Searching (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
Retarget to Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#Sources, which is possibly the most important resource for newcomer content writers. Currently, WP:S is basically unused, way under the shadow of the main shortcut H:S. Excessive numbers of shortcuts defeat the benefit of shortcuts.
In contrast, Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#Sources is probably the most important, undervalued section in the whole of the project for new content writers, and it has shortcuts that are hard to remember. This would be a much better use for WP:S.
If this is not shot down for a reason I don't expect, I will advertise this discussion on the relevant pages. SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:27, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- Convert to disambiguation page. A section of a subpage is too specialized for a one-letter shortcut. WP:S could mean a lot things and a cross-namespace redirect to Help:Searching is not the most natural. WP:S has a lot of incoming links but nearly all of them are from alphabetical lists of all one-letter WP shortcuts without saying where they go, so changing it doesn't break those uses. PrimeHunter (talk) 03:44, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- Making a disambiguation page out of something that is essentially never used is just silly. Is the aim to make sure that such a high value shortcut remains unused?
- A section of of a subpage may sound "specialised", but this is part of the point. It is not "specialised" but centrally important to the most basic editor function on the project, writing content. This section, currently WP:RSPSS, is way out of balance in terms of how important it is to the prominence of its location. A single-character shortcut may be sufficient to fix that, and will certainly help. I considered suggesting WP:RSPSS be spun out to its own page, but decided against this, because, despite its standalone usefulness to content writing, its maintenance is extremely detailed and it should be boldly edited by newcomers without reading the extensive context present above.
- WP:S could mean a lot of things, but current doesn't. And what better meaning to give it than Sources for content? -- SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:11, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- If we pick a Sources target then it should be the same as WP:SOURCE and WP:SOURCES, meaning Wikipedia:Verifiability#Reliable sources. I'm fine with that. PrimeHunter (talk) 04:36, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- I had looked at that and gave it some thought. In terms of Policy, WP:SOURCES is the root of policy on sources, but it is extremely limited to policy-wonk-thought, and it is not very good, notably in how it fails to adequately cross reference WP:PSTS (Primary, secondary and tertiary sources). Limited to Policy theory that is not immediately practical. It is a partial blurb on the theory that undies the source rules. In contrast, WP:RSPSS is the end result list that edits should consult.
- The shortcuts are not meant to be a content guide, but quick reference memorable shortcuts. Editors on the ground do not a quicker reference to the non-practical section of WP:V. They need it to get to the sources cheat sheet, WP:RSPSS.
- Also, having multiple catchy shortcuts pointing to the same thing is another waste of catchy shortcuts. SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:41, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- If we pick a Sources target then it should be the same as WP:SOURCE and WP:SOURCES, meaning Wikipedia:Verifiability#Reliable sources. I'm fine with that. PrimeHunter (talk) 04:36, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- Keep since this redirect has targeted the current page (or a redirect towards it leftover from page moves) since 2007. At this point, due to targeting the current page for about 15 years, there's too much potential for links in edit summaries to be broken in the event the redirect is retargeted. If necessary to disambiguate "S", Wikipedia:S (disambiguation) could be created, but that may be overkill; it may be better to just add a hatnote for 1–2 other possibilities that "WP:S" could refer to, and call it a day. Steel1943 (talk) 16:47, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- While I could not check ancient edit summaries, I did check many incoming links, and they are basically all junk. This shortcut was made without much thought, and never given any use. More than half seemed to be complete mistakes. If a future wikiarcheologist (like me) wants to discover what was going on with an odd talk page pipe, then it will be facilitated by the edit to the redirect including a link to this discussion. Archaeology doesn't mean "preserve everything", it is good enough to keep records.
- Putting a hatnote on pages that WP:S could point to, or has ever pointed to, is completely nutty if you note the pageviews. Nobody uses WP:S. Hatnotes make clutter in the prime real estate of the page. SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:30, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

- Keep per Steel1943 and Do not disambiguate as that makes the shortcut useless for everybody. I've spot-checked a number of the incoming links and they either refer to the current target, WP:SOURCE (which is not the proposed target) or are part of a list. Thryduulf (talk) 15:41, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
- User:Thryduulf. Agree, "Disambiguate" makes it useless for everybody, but "Keep" keeps it useless for everybody (a never used redundant option to the better H:S)
- I spot checked many incoming links, and many are mistakes, many are to an old ~2007 target, and all are unimportant. There basically never was any editing where people had a reason to write the wikilink WP:S as a shortcut to the help page for searching, it was silly then, and has been silly for many years. There are certainly far far more mistaken incoming links than intended proper uses (I found none).
- What is your desired outcome? That WP:S is forever junk? SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:22, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- Disambiguate - the existing incoming links suggest that the current target is not particularly useful. signed, Rosguill talk 22:20, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- Disambiguate (draft available below the redirect). I've checked about a dozen incoming links: a third of them seemed to intend WP:SOURCE, a few were for Help:Search and the rest were for either WP:Summary style or WP:Synthesis. Definitely no prospect for a suitable target here. As for the objection that dabifying will make the shortcut useless for everybody: whatever target is otherwise chosen, the majority of uses will be wrong, and that's worse than being simply useless. SmokeyJoe, for the list of perennial sources, won't it make more sense to instead usurp WP:LPS or WP:PSL, or use WP:S/P (for Sources/perennial)? – Uanfala (talk) 21:21, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
- User:Uanfala, the point about draftifing making it useless for everyone is that it keeps it useless, as in "unused". No one will benefit a disambiguation because no one uses it. Of the incoming links that you checked, did you note how old they were, and where they were coming from? From around 2007, and from fairly confused talk threads, which I think was mostly because WP:S was never a recommended shortcut for anything, and the only uses it got were from people being careless. I checked a lot more than a dozen.
- It is currently available with no modern baggage. SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:14, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
- Here are all the existing uses where the shortcuts is piped [8] and where it's used on its own [9]. – Uanfala (talk) 12:13, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
- Retarget to Wikipedia:Verifiability#Reliable sources because I like the idea of syncing it up with WP:SOURCES. I agree with Rosguill that the current target is not particularly useful, but I also agree with Thryduulf that disambiguating at this title would make it useless for everybody because it would no longer function as a shortcut. I do like Steel1943's idea of creating Wikipedia:S (disambiguation) which would catch the incorrect linkages and those who guess wrong. -- Tavix (talk) 01:35, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
- User:Tavix, Wikipedia:Verifiability#Reliable sources already has WP:SOURCES, and that section is not particularly useful, unlike my proposed target, which is very useful, should be used by every newcomer, and lacks a good shortcut. SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:18, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
- Disambiguate, don't retagret as that will mean links for searching in discussion pages will end up at the wrong place. Crouch, Swale (talk) 22:12, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

- Strong keep - Projectspace shortcuts are ambiguous by their very nature. This long-standing single letter redirect should not be tampered with through retargeting or made to lose its function through disambiguating. This shortcut has pointed to content regarding searching since c. 2007. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 23:53, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Retarget to Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry. Probably the most common search term. The others don't seem that common. interstatefive (talk) - just another roadgeek 23:57, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Joseph Stalins's religious views
- Joseph Stalins's religious views → Joseph Stalin#Religion (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
- Joseph Stalin and religion → Joseph Stalin#Religion (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: (@subpage) ]
The section which this redirect targets doesn't exist. Upon reviewing the target page, there the word "religion" occurs once, and it's location doesn't seem to contain enough distinct information to rationalize the existence of this redirect; in other words, readers looking up this term are not going to find the information they are trying to find. Steel1943 (talk) 18:21, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: Seems as though there was content at this titles submitted for WP:AFD via Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joseph Stalins's religious views in 2015. Looks like the discussion was closed to "keep", even though at the time, the article consisted of one sentence? Steel1943 (talk) 18:26, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

- Comment. The target has some relevant content (though no in a neatly delimited section): there's a paragraph about young Joseph's life at the seminary and how he became an atheist, and then a few sentences about his anti-religious policies as a leader. The redirects aren't terribly useful, but I don't think they're particularly bad either. I'm not sure to what an extent we should be bound by the outcome of the 2015 AfD: the article material was minimal, and the outcome of the AfD was effectively abandoned when immediately after the close someone turned the page into a redirect, without apparently anyone objecting. I guess it's also possible to re-create an article by splitting out the former section [11], but I don't think that's the optimal solution. – Uanfala (talk) 20:23, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

- Delete. I've been on the fence on this one for a while, but now I land here after reading the AfD and seeing the arguments that this is a notable topic. Deleting these redirects would clear the way for an actual article on this topic (
Joseph Stalin was an atheist[citation needed].
does not count). -- Tavix (talk) 22:23, 14 May 2022 (UTC) - Delete - while it's plausible that a valid section on Stalin's religious views could be added to the target, or as part of the Political ideology section, there really isn't anything at the target that would satisfy a reader searching for this phrase. signed, Rosguill talk 20:51, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Retargetto American Portuguese, linked from {{Portuguese dialects}}, but given that we usually mean US when we say American on enwiki, it might be better to rename that article South American Portuguese or Latin American Portuguese, especially since there are small Lusophone communities in the US that may have dialects of their own (Languages of the United States#Portuguese). --BDD (talk) 14:53, 6 April 2022 (UTC)- Neither of these alternate suggestions acknowledge the main issue I have with the redirect, which is that I have yet to see any evidence that "Latin Portuguese" ever refers to "Latin American Portuguese" in existing literature. signed, Rosguill talk 19:11, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- But it's reasonably unambiguous. Looking over Latin (disambiguation), the ancient Latins obviously didn't speak any sort of Portuguese; Portuguese is a Latin language in the sense of Romance languages, and uses the Latin alphabet/script, but none of those are likely to lead to such a search term. It's very hard for me to imagine a reader using this and not thinking of it as "Latin American Portuguese".
- Compare also to Latin Spanish, which redirects to Spanish language in the Americas. --BDD (talk) 19:52, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- Academic literature uses "Latin Portuguese" as a term of art to refer to an orthographic standard used in Medieval Portugal prior to the development of a strictly Portuguese written language: ([12], [13], [14]). Based on these references I'd hazard that it's likely independently notable and should not be confused with modern dialects. N.b. I don't see an equivalent use of "Latin Spanish", so I don't have as much of an issue with that redirect. signed, Rosguill talk 18:47, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- Could we incorporate that into Portuguese orthography? If so, we could disambiguate. --BDD (talk) 19:31, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- I had an easier time adding it to Reforms of Portuguese orthography#Pre-modern Portuguese orthography, as Portuguese orthography does not address the history of the standards at all. I think this should be the new target. signed, Rosguill talk 18:33, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

- Just because Portuguese stems from Latin? That really doesn't seem helpful. Would we ever consider Germanic English? --BDD (talk) 19:31, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
- No, duh, because the meaning most likely to be sought is for a variety of the P language. Do try to keep up. Johnbod (talk) 19:55, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Which variety do you mean - as spoken in Latin America, or the orthographic standard in medieval Portugal? -- BDD (talk) 14:47, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Johnbod: Your statement is not as obvious as you make it out to be. It is much more helpful to explain why you are taking a given position rather than having other editors guess. Your follow ups of
duh
andDo try to keep up
are the opposite of helpful—rather we are simply trying to understand your unclear position. Indeed, your clarification is still a bit muddy. If you feel the most likely meaning is a "variety of the [Portuguese] language", wouldn't Portuguese dialects be more helpful than the standard language? -- Tavix (talk) 16:53, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

- Retarget to Portuguese dialects. It's significantly more likely that someone using this search term is looking for a variety of Portuguese than anything else, but it's not clear which one. The main article about dialects has clear and prominent links to all the one we have articles about, and is also the place to learn about the differences between the dialects (which it is far from implausible that someone using this term is wanting to read). If we have any content about the academic usage then this can be linked in a hatnote as it doesn't seem to be the primary topic. Thryduulf (talk) 08:09, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- Comment there is no such thing as "Latin Portuguese", there was a transition part, but that happened with every laguage. Nobody speaks Latin Portuguese or even close to it. Its either Brazilian Portuguese or Portuguese. Now, Portuguese stems from Latin, but first came Portuguese and only then Brazilian Portuguese. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 01:19, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
