File:TBD logo 2016.png
- File:TBD logo 2016.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by John123521 ( | contribs | uploads | upload log).
This appears to be a {{PD-textlogo}}; it is composed simply of three simple rectangles with one simple white letter atop each one. The arrangement is below the threshold of originality in the United States, so I think that this should be re-licensed and moved to Commons. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 00:09, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
File:Bally Sports app logo.png
- File:Bally Sports app logo.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by BilCat ( | contribs | uploads | upload log).
This is pretty clearly a {{PD-textlogo}}; it's composed solely of white text on a red background. As this is below the threshold of originality in the United States, this should be marked as public domain and moved to Commons. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 00:11, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

I think that this is probably below the threshold of originality in the United States. The only thing that would plausibly be creative is the distorted red F, but I don't think that it would be above the TOO (compare File:Los Angeles Football Club.svg, which was denied registration by the copyright office and appears to be more creative). We're currently treating this file as non-free, but I don't think we need to do so; we can re-license this photo and move it to Commons. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 00:22, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
File:Four points.gif
- File:Four points.gif (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Bigvoice313 ( | contribs | uploads | upload log).
This appears to be below c:COM:TOO USA. The text itself is not copyrightable, and the whole logo is composed of very simple shapes. There is a pattern on the left side of the bar of alternating colored squares, but this doesn't seem to be any more creative than c:File:Nikon Logo.svg, which was denied registration by the U.S. copyright office. As such, I think we can re-license this photo to reflect its status as public domain and then upload it to Commons. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 00:24, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

NEW NOMINATIONS
Category:Wikipedians interested in playing sports
- Propose deleting Category:Wikipedians interested in playing sports ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Has somehow been around since 2005, but that doesn't change the fact that this is far too broad to facilitate collaboration. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:01, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete, this may be ok for a userbox on a user page but it has nothing to do with Wikipedia. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:28, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
Category:Wikipedians interested in wildflower identification
- Propose deleting Category:Wikipedians interested in wildflower identification ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Somewhat to my surprise, there's no article (or any significant mainspace content I could find) on wildflower identification. Without any mainspace content to anchor it a user category inherently has no collaborative value. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:58, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete or upmerge to Category:Wikipedians interested in biology, per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:30, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
Category:Rulers of Chittagong
- Propose renaming Category:Rulers of Chittagong to Category:Governors of Chittagong. Re-parent to Category:Governors of Bengal.
- Nominator's rationale: All three people in it are actually called "governors", which are not "rulers", because they are not sovereign, nor hereditary. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 00:54, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Rename and re-parent per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:32, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
Category:Rajput rulers
- Propose renaming Category:Rajput rulers to Category:Rajput monarchs. Re-parent from Category:Indian rulers to Category:Indian monarchs.
- Nominator's rationale: WP:C2B: the child "Rulers of the Kingdom of Marwar" was recently renamed to Category:Monarchs of Marwar, because "monarch" was deemed more specific; all other subcats (most of them named "Maharajas of") are also in Category:Hindu monarchs, so they are already identified as "monarchs". I recommend leaving a redirect to prevent re-creation and duplication. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 00:47, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Rename and re-parent per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:33, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
Category:12th-century BCE High Priests of Israel
- Propose deleting Category:12th-century BCE High Priests of Israel ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT: 1 item. WP:CATDD:
Don't add pages to non-neutral or unverifiable categories.
As the cat description says, Dates are based on the Biblical literalist chronology, which is in violation of WP:V, WP:RS, WP:OR, and WP:NPOV. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 00:17, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Upmerge to Category:12th-century BC clergy, Category:12th-century BCE Hebrew people and Category:High Priests of Israel per WP:SMALLCAT. While these parent categories still exist, the article Eli should remain part of them. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:38, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
Redirects
Phulrraa
Not mentioned in target, and does not seem to be a plausible typo. Onel5969 TT me 18:13, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: @Onel5969 This is one of the common spellings of this locality used in media that describe it. For example:
- The Nation newspaper in Pakistan: "it signaled to stop a suspected vehicle in Phulrra locality"
- Pakistan Government electoral roll: on Page 34: Electoral Area Phulrra
- Map prepared for the UN: shows name Phulrra in this location
- In the local language(s) this "rr" sound is spelled with ڑ which does not have an equivalent in English. So the number of possible ad hoc spellings that exist for the place name using the English/Latin alphabet or numerous. I do not actually think it is necessary to mention every possible variant spelling in the target article, as this just causes unneccessary clutter. Likewise the "ph"/"p" is because the sound at the beginning is pronounced differently in Urdu, Punjabi, and Hindko. In the first language, it is aspirated like "ph," in the other two languages it is not as these languages use a tonal pronunciation in this position (also something which has no equivalent in English). عُثمان (talk) 18:34, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- The presence or absence of "h" at the end is also due to a difference in the aspiration/tonality reflexes of Urdu vs. Punjabi and Hindko. Word final "h" is used for tone in the latter two languages, but functions as a consonant in the first. عُثمان (talk) 18:37, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Oh woops, it did not even occur to me that this redirect had two "a"s at the end. I had intended to make this for Phulrra. Carry on.
- عُثمان (talk) 18:40, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. It's not uncommon to see aa in informal romanisations of the long a (= ā), and عُثمان has explained the other apparent discrepancies. But even if that name were incorrect (which it is not), then the redirect would still be worth preserving as an {{R from move}} (the article used to be at that title from 2007 until last December). – Uanfala (talk) 19:14, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Pepper sauce
- Pepper sauce → Sauce poivrade (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Pepper sauce could refer to either this, or hot sauce, or any sauce made with peppers. In fact the redirect when it was first made originally redirected to Hot sauce until it was nominated for speedy deletion in 2010, then was redirected to a more specific pepper sauce for many years, then changed to the current target just over a year ago. Retarget back to hot sauce or find another target? Colgatepony234 (talk) 03:28, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
Color Lines (Loop)
- Orange Line (Loop) → The Loop (CTA) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
- Green Line (Loop) → The Loop (CTA) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
- Purple Line (Loop) → The Loop (CTA) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
- Brown Line (Loop) → The Loop (CTA) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
- Pink Line (Loop) → The Loop (CTA) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
These redirects are a bit odd as they have two places they can target. One is the line itself, every one of which's article describes its path as going through the loop, or its current target. It is also possible that these are just implausible redirects and could be deleted instead of trying to find an appropriate target for them due to lack of usage. TartarTorte 19:03, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
- None of these have mainspace links, and they receive few pageviews. However, redirects are cheap, and these could be conceivable search terms. If we were to keep these (as opposed to deleting them) I would suggest retargeting each page to the relevant line's "Route" (or equivalent section):
An anchor tag could possibly be added to the relevant portion of the Pink Line's station listing for greater clarity. Edward-Woodrow (talk) 23:30, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Alan Umstead (musician)
- Alan Umstead (musician) → Nashville String Machine (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
While Alan Umstead may be a member of Nashville String Machine (according to RateYourMusic), that name is never mentioned in the article and I was unable to find any additional information on Umstead's assocation with the group. I think it's an incredibly unlikely search anyway, but on the off-chance it is kept, I'd also suggest it be moved to Alan Umstead to remove the unnecessary disambiguation. Sock (tock talk) 18:52, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per nom as unlikely, and since the subject is not mentioned at target. CycloneYoris talk! 00:02, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

- The Catholic Answer → Our Sunday Visitor (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
No mention at target. I recomment deletion. Veverve (talk) 18:39, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- The Catholic Answer was a magazine published by OSV (see here). It might make more sense to add mention to the article about the former publication rather than to simply delete the redirect. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 19:14, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

.test (international domain name)
- .test (international domain name) → List of Internet top-level domains#Test TLDs (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
The redirect pointed to Special:Permalink/362520528#Test_TLDs when it was created. In the meantime, the part has been split into a separate lemma with the shorter name .test. In my opinion, the longer redirection would only be misleading and could therefore be removed. F10sh (talk) 09:47, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Chicken fart
- Chicken fart → Flatulence (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
This was created "to discourage vandalism" which isn't a valid reason to create a redirect. Delete as pointless. An anonymous username, not my real name 02:05, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- I made it after deleting an nonconstructive creation. But Flatulence is actually only applying to humans, and we do not seem to have an article for animal. So I do agree the redirect is not that useful. But I disagree with the idea that "discouraging vandalism is not a reason for having a redirect". Even chicken flatulence is likely a notable topic. So the most constructive thing for An anonymous username, not my real name, is to write an article at the redirect location. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:48, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- If a name has no article but it is a magnet for faulty creations, it may be protected against creation Cambalachero (talk) 02:56, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
Life Before Earth
- Life Before Earth → Abiogenesis (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Delete as unhelpful/unclear; not what this article is about. An anonymous username, not my real name 01:17, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete, as it is a wrong title as well. Earth itself predates the existence of life, so there's no "life before Earth". There is in fact a theory that life may started elsewhere and then came here (Panspermia), but the relation is too convoluted to be a workable redirect to that article either. It's, in fact, a side theory: the main panspermia theory is that life may survive in the vacuum under certain conditions and meteorites may carry it from one celestial body to another (from elsewhere to Earth, but also from Earth to other places).
