Redirects for discussion (RfD) is the place where potentially problematic redirects are discussed. Items usually stay listed for a week or so, after which they are deleted, kept, or retargeted.

If you want to replace an unprotected redirect with an article, do not list it here. Turning redirects into articles is wholly encouraged. Be bold!
If you want to move a page but a redirect is in the way, do not list it here. For non-controversial cases, place a technical request; if a discussion is required, then start a requested move.
If you think a redirect points to the wrong target article, this is a good place to discuss the proper target.
Redirects should not be deleted just because they have no incoming links. Please do not use this as the only reason to delete a redirect. However, redirects that do have incoming links are sometimes deleted, so that is not a sufficient condition for keeping. (See § When to delete a redirect for more information.)

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

Before listing a redirect for discussion

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

Shortcut

WP:RGUIDE

The purpose of a good redirect is to eliminate the possibility that readers will find themselves staring blankly at "Search results 1–10 out of 378" instead of the article they were looking for. If someone could plausibly enter the redirect's name when searching for the target article, it's a good redirect.
Redirects are cheap. They take up little storage space and use very little bandwidth. It doesn't really hurt things if there are a few of them scattered around. On the flip side, deleting redirects is also cheap because recording the deletion takes up little storage space and uses very little bandwidth. There is no harm in deleting problematic redirects.
If a good-faith RfD nomination proposes to delete a redirect and has no discussion after at least 7 days, the default result is delete.
Redirects nominated in contravention of Wikipedia:Redirect will be speedily kept.
RfD can also serve as a central discussion forum for debates about which page a redirect should target. In cases where retargeting the redirect could be considered controversial, it is advisable to leave a notice on the talk page of the redirect's current target page or the proposed target page to refer readers to the redirect's nomination to allow input and help form consensus for the redirect's target.
Requests for deletion of redirects from one page's talk page to another's do not need to be listed here. Anyone can remove the redirect by blanking the page. The G6 criterion for speedy deletion may be appropriate.
In discussions, always ask yourself whether or not a redirect would be helpful to the reader.

When to delete a redirect

This page is transcluded from Wikipedia:Redirect/Deletion reasons. (edit | history)

Shortcuts

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

Shortcut

WP:RFD#DELETE

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" (itself a redirect to "Article"), 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, were an exception to this rule until they became their own namespace in 2024. (Note also the existence of namespace aliases such as WP:. Speedy deletion criterion R2 may apply if the target namespace is something other than Category:, Template:, Wikipedia:, Help:, or Portal:.)
If the redirect is broken, meaning it redirects to an article that does not exist, it can be immediately deleted under speedy deletion criterion G8. You should check that there is not an alternative place it could be appropriately redirected to first and that it has not become broken through vandalism.
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.
Shortcut
- WP:RETURNTORED
If the redirect could plausibly be expanded into an article, and the target article contains virtually no information on the subject.
If the redirect ends in "(disambiguation)" but does not target a disambiguation page or a page performing a disambiguation-like function (such as a set index of articles). Speedy deletion criterion G14 may apply.

Reasons for not deleting

Shortcut

WP:RFD#KEEP

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 article text because the linkified misspellings will not appear as broken links; consider tagging the redirect with the {{R from misspelling}} template to assist editors in monitoring these misspellings.
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 (e.g. WolVes) and old subpage links, should be left alone in case there are any existing links on external pages pointing to them. Please tag these with {{R from old history}}. See also Wikipedia:Link rot § Link rot on non-Wikimedia sites.
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

Shortcut

WP:RNEUTRAL

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).

How to list a redirect for discussion

Shortcut

WP:RFDHOWTO

STEP I.

Tag the redirect(s).

Enter {{subst:rfd|content= at the very beginning of the redirect page you are listing for discussion and enter }} at the very end of the page.

Does this look too complicated?
Try this semi-automated process instead: (note only confirmed users can use this)

Enable Twinkle in the Gadgets tab of your preferences.
Go back to the redirect page, and choose "XFD" from the new Twinkle menu.
Fill in the form and submit it.

Please do not mark the edit as minor (m).
Please include in the edit summary the phrase:
Nominated for RfD: see [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion]].
Save the page ("Publish changes").
If you are unable to edit the redirect page because of protection, this step can be omitted, and after step 2 is completed, a request to add the RFD template can be put on the redirect's talk page.
If the redirect you are nominating is in template namespace, consider adding |showontransclusion=1 to the RfD tag so that people using the template redirect are aware of the nomination. If it is an inline template, use |showontransclusion=tiny instead.
If you are nominating multiple redirects as a group, repeat all the above steps for each redirect being nominated and specify on {{rfd}} the nomination's group heading from Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion

STEP II.

List the entry on RfD.

Click here to edit the section of RfD for today's entries.

Enter this text below the date heading:

{{subst:Rfd2|redirect=RedirectName|target=TargetArticle|text=The action you would like to occur (deletion, re-targeting, etc.) and the rationale for that action.}}

~~~~

For this template:
- Put the redirect's name in place of RedirectName, put the target article's name in place of TargetArticle, and include a reason after text=.
- Note that, for this step, the "target article" is the current target of the redirect (if you have a suggestion for a better target, include this in the text that you insert after text=).
Please use an edit summary such as:
Nominating [[RedirectName]]
(replacing RedirectName with the name of the redirect you are nominating).
To list multiple related redirects for discussion, use the following syntax. Repeat line 2 for N number of redirects:

{{subst:Rfd2|redirect=RedirectName1|target=TargetArticle1}}

{{subst:Rfd2|multi=yes|redirect=RedirectName2|target=TargetArticle2}}

{{subst:Rfd2|multi=yes|redirect=RedirectNameN|target=TargetArticleN|text=The actions you would like to occur (deletion, re-targeting, etc.) and the rationale for those actions.}}

~~~~

If the redirect has had previous RfDs, you can add {{Oldrfdlist|previous RfD without brackets|result of previous RfD}} directly after the rfd2 template.
If appropriate, inform members of the most relevant WikiProjects through one or more "deletion sorting lists". Then add a {{subst:delsort|<topic>|<signature>}} template to the nomination, to insert a note that this has been done.

STEP III.

Notify users.

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

To find the main contributors, look in the page history of the respective redirect(s). For convenience, the template

{{subst:Rfd notice|RedirectName}} ~~~~

may be placed on the creator/main contributors' user talk page to provide notice of the discussion. Please replace RedirectName with the name of the respective creator/main contributors' redirect and use an edit summary such as:
Notice of redirect discussion at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion]]

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

Please consider using What links here to locate other redirects that may be related to the one you are nominating. After going to the redirect target page and selecting "What links here" in the toolbox on the left side of your computer screen, select both "Hide transclusions" and "Hide links" filters to display the redirects to the redirect target page.

This version of the page may not reflect the most current changes.
Please purge this page to view the most recent changes.

Bhakt → Bhakti (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

The redirect Bhakt was recently created, but the correct English transliteration of the original Sanskrit term is Bhakta, which already exists as a redirect to Bhakti. Deleting this redirect avoids confusion and maintains consistency with other properly transliterated Sanskrit terms used as page titles (e.g. Yoga, Raga, Dharma, Mantra etc.).

Unhelpful redirect, as anyone searching for "Joe Hill" with a space would naturally be brought to the DAB page at Joe Hill or the articles with sufficient disambiguation in search results. The redirect creator notes at the talk, from a message back in November 2004, that they created this redirect to fix an external link from this web article, which has been dead since 2012, according to Wayback. That external link was referring to Joe Hill (writer), anyway, and this redirect has not been maintained to reflect the DAB.

Retarget to List of rice dishes. Bhat or bhāt occurs in many modern languages meaning rice or boiled rice, spoken where rice is a staple of the diet. For example dal bhat is Nepal's national dish. This and another dishes containing bhat are listed here. It's common to see bhat written in Latin script as English is widely spoken in the region and is one of India's national languages.

Sa Aung Ko Ko

Sa Aung Ko Ko → Woodlands Lions (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sa Aung Ko Ko closed with consensus to delete and this redirect was created very shortly after, despite having no support, by the creator, who was very disruptive and had to be taken to WP:ANI for repeatedly disrupting this AfD. There is no evidence on my internet searches, using multiple search engines, that there was ever a player called "Sa Aung Ko Ko" playing for Woodlands Lions. Also worth noting that the creator initially tried to redirect this page to Eunos Crescent FC prior to the deletion. The only evidence that I can find for the existence of this person is Cosmo League, which is not WP:RS. Funnily enough, that link says he plays for Gaelic Lions FC.

In any case, at WP:FOOTY, we don't redirect players to clubs as most players change clubs multiple teams during their careers so a redirect would only cause confusion. In this case, I strongly oppose it as there is not even one source to link this player to Woodlands Lions. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 17:16, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The reference for the post office has Glen Hall (1866-1894), Glenhall (1894-1904), which I would interpret as the post office having the name of "Glen Hall" until 1894 when it was renamed as "Glenhall". I did find this from 1890 which may help attest "Glen Hall" as a pre-1894 spelling. -- Tavix ^(talk) 19:47, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

9,568 recently-created redirects from SCOTUS cases

This is a bulk nomination of the results of quarry:query/94763, redirects created by PickleG13 from the names of U.S. Supreme court cases to sublists of Lists of United States Supreme Court cases by volume. (There are only 15 such redirects created by other users, which should be assessed separately as they may have more complex backstories.) I hate to undo what was clearly a lot of work by someone trying to improve the encyclopedia, but these 9,568 are all not just useless but worse than useless. Essentially all SCOTUS cases are notable to some degree. For the distinct minority that don't pass GNG, there is still usually room for a substantive mention in some article, like Hamm v. Smith. When a user encounters a redlinked Supreme Court case, that should be an immediate sign of an opportunity to improve the encyclopedia, either by writing an article or redirecting to an article with a substantive mention. However, these case lists merely give the most basic metadata. They don't tell the reader much other than the case existing, which they likely already knew; and if all they wanted to know was what year the case was that basic metadata, the search results will still tell them.

Lethargilistic has already commented on PickleG13's talk about how this undiscussed mass creation has seriously interfered with his workflow. I noticed this because I was rereading a GA I wrote and was excited to see that a case I redlinked in it was now blue. The way I describe that case is basically begging someone to turn the redlink blue, but now they'd have to click on it to know that we don't actually have an article on the case. This is why WP:REDDEAL says A red link to an article that will plausibly be created in the future should be 'left alone rather than being created as a minimal stub article that has no useful information.' ... Red links serve the purpose of notifying readers that a need exists in Wikipedia for the creation of a new article with at least minimal information content. ... The red link may identify a need to create a redirect to another article, but only if that article comprehensively deals with the topic. and why WP:RETURNTORED says we should delete If the redirect could plausibly be expanded into an article, and the target article contains virtually no information on the subject.

delete all Yeah, this is bad not only for the reasoning given above, but because simply redirecting a single case into a list that only relists it by name without any explanation is simply wasting the reader's time. There may be a need to deal with relatively minor cases without writing an article on each, but this is the wrong solution to that because it isn't a solution at all, and because it hides the reality of lacking a write-up of the case. Mangoe (talk) 11:49, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete When I find a case that clearly falls beneath the GNG, I add a holding summary to the list page and redirect the title to that entry. Because of the design of my project of creating them, that's only happened once or twice, but I think that makes more sense than redirecting as a default. lethargilistic (talk) 17:45, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am the one who created these redirects, so obviously I did them in good faith. My intention was not to interfere with new article creation, and as soon as I realized that it posed a complication for another editor, I stopped midway through my project of doing so. My intention was to provide for people looking up cases on Wikipedia to be navigated at least to their year and some more sourcing details, rather than not being given any results; for those creating pages on new cases, I understand why this may not have made total sense, and I certainly didn't mean to interrupt anyone's workflow. I've made a lot of useful redirects over time, which is why I decided to embark upon this project to the tune of thousands of edits, and I would still stand by my work in arguing to Keep. I began this endeavor because I was working on a draft article with Sumanah, who redirected a court case to one of these dockets, sparking my inspiration and thus allowing me a greater sense of knowledge for the court case in question. However, if the consensus is to delete, I understand and I hope we can continue to improve Wikipedia surrounding SCOTUS cases. PickleG13 (talk) 19:17, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Decide on a case-by-case basis. I have created a handful such redirects for completeness, where it was clear that the case was too minor to justify an article. BD2412 T 00:13, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think there's any practical way to do this case-by-case, and requiring that would make this a WP:FAITACCOMPLI. But per your and Lethargilistic's comments, I wouldn't have any problem with this closing as delete all without prejudice against case-by-case recreation, allowing for those rare cases where the list entry really is a comprehensive target. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 00:36, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Woah, that is a high number of pages to be nominated. The largest moms I have ever seen.... I agree that this should be made on a case-by-case basis since it would rather take time and effort for editors to investigate each redirect and for admins to rollback/delete the pages. I will default as delete unless justification could be found. ToadetteEdit (talk) 05:05, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you to 'zin^{[is short for Tamzin]}, Roast, lethargilistic, BD2412, and ToadetteEdit for engaging in this important discussion, which connects to wider setting of precedent on Wikipedia. I created these redirects out of a fascination with cases before the Supreme Court of the United States. It was one of my biggest projects on Wikipedia, and I pursued it in a good faith attempt to genuinely make it easier for people to learn about the judicial branch. I understand that it has caused frustration and confusion, and has made some work around court case pages more complicated. While I believe that deciding on a case-by-case basis is what would handle things in an ideal way long term, and I would be willing to go through all of the pages personally to perform this work, I also understand that the consensus is leaning toward delete. I am no longer opposed to deleting these redirects, and I will do whatever I can to make sure things look the best that they can in the future, as I am so grateful to be part of our Wikipedian community.

Keep, plausible misspelling. There was a Universal crossword some years ago that had the clue "Love at the foot of Mt. Etna". I spent half an hour trying to figure out how to make AMORE fit there before eventually conceding the only thing that fit was AMOUR. Then I went and looked up if that was the spelling in Sicilian (nope), or if there was some French-speaking community near Mt. Etna (also nope). Turns out Universal crosswords just aren't very good. But that does show this is a plausible mix-up. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 00:47, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As has been the case for the prior election articles, the next one is only made around or after the most recent election. CRYSTAL applies. An article for the 2032 election does not pass WP:GNG, and given the current state of the United States government, I do not think we can presume (which is what crystal is all about), that an election after 2028 is definitive, but that is a whole other can of worms. — Trailblazer¹⁰¹🔥^{(discuss · contribs)} 23:47, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You know what I'm going to do?

I'm WP:AGF'ing too, but the problem with just letting the issue remain and slapping a {{R without mention}} is that the template categorizes the redirect into a maintenance category that paraphrasing says "add the mention to the article or nominate the redirect for RfD to get deleted". Well, we are already at RfD, so either the redirect gets added to the article or we get this deleted. No point keeping this issue in an infinite loop with no end.

Frontier Park

Frontier Park → Frontier Park (St. Charles, Missouri) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

An article at this title created by Burkouri was recently redirected to St. Charles, Missouri by Onel5969. I have moved the page history of the former article to Frontier Park (St. Charles, Missouri) to avoid confusion. There are a lot of parks with this name, so it doesn't seem appropriate to have a redirect to the city where just one of them is, nor to have a set index article since most of the hits I found on Wikipedia were rather run-of-the-mill. Paul_012 (talk) 14:25, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of trying to figure out how to best handle a title that could refer to several non-notable places, it may be best to undo the BLARing of Frontier Park (St. Charles, Missouri) and nominate it for deletion. If that proposal succeeds, Frontier Park can also be safely deleted. - Eureka Lott 00:01, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects created for no apparent reason. Only creates confusion by making wrong impression that corresponding articles were already created. Alex (talk) 07:16, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I agree it creates confusion, but during the previous season links to the 2025/2025-26 season were also created as redirects. I can only presume this was to prevent multiple redlinks? Phil 07:25, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

They were created for 25/26 season because one person for whatever reason decided to do so (maybe he wants to be counted as article creator or whatever, I honestly have no idea what's the point). I just didn't bothered to nominate all of that cause it was already mid March. Now another person decided to do same thing, but even earlier. And why would you need to prevent redlink? Redlinks is exactly what should be there. It perfectly shows that article is still yet to be created. God knows how many times I personally clicked blue link to see the article and then seeing that it's not there. Alex (talk) 07:40, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all: Agree with having a date when these competition pages can be created, but I don't think May 2026 is suitable for all - for example the Super Coppa Sammarinese appears to be contested in October, so maybe a more general "start date minus 2 months" would be suitable? By then the teams competing should be known and the article can actually have something useful. If they are created when teams are known and competitions are preparing kick-off, then there would be no need for a redirect as they will already be relevant/sourced enough to have their own article.

Rice in Sri Lanka

Rice in Sri Lanka → Rice#Sri Lanka (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

The phrase "Sri Lanka" is mentioned nowhere in the target article, leaving readers searching this term unsatisfied with arriving at the target article. In addition, between the potential targets Rice production in Sri Lanka, Agriculture in Sri Lanka#Rice cultivation in Sri Lanka, and History of rice cultivation#Sri Lanka, it seems unclear which one of these would be the best target for the nominated redirect, causing potential WP:XY problems. Steel1943 (talk) 21:17, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Steel1943: Couldn't we turn this into a dab page? I don't think we need a full discussion here for that. :-) Ed ^{[talk] [OMT]} 21:27, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm somewhat against that since the title sounds more like either a WP:SIA or a WP:DABCONCEPT, both of which would be an inadequate disambiguation page. In my opinion, we should decide on a target, figure out if a WP:SIA is plausible here in a way that doesn't look like a WP:DABCONCEPT (which I believe will be the problem), overwrite the redirect with an article, or delete this thing. Steel1943 (talk) 21:43, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation pages for the intersection of two concepts are uncommon. Such a page would effectively be a Wikipedia:Navigation page, and those seem to be on the way out after a recent brief experiment. Jruderman (talk) 05:35, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to Agriculture in Sri Lanka#Rice cultivation in Sri Lanka as the best place for this. We don't want quasi-dab pages. Chiswick Chap (talk) 05:49, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to Rice production in Sri Lanka or delete. The redirect was created as a redirect to Rice cultivation in Sri Lanka and updated to redirect to Rice#Sri Lanka after that page was merged into Rice. Restoring it to point to the re-created article Rice production in Sri Lanka is the most conservative change. It's a better target than Agriculture in Sri Lanka#Rice cultivation in Sri Lanka (which has a {{main}} pointing to Rice production in Sri Lanka) or History of rice cultivation#Sri Lanka (which is a subtopic that should be linked from Rice production in Sri Lanka). There is a potential ambiguity issue with Sri Lankan cuisine#Rice and curry, which could be handled with a hatnote or see-also link, or taken as a reason to delete the redirect (WP:XY). Jruderman (talk) 05:59, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to Rice production in Sri Lanka. Per Jruderman that is the most helpful target for readers using this plausible search term. I don't oppose a hatnote to the cuisine, but I don't regard it as a particularly likely search term for that. Thryduulf (talk) 10:17, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As you can see from the previous RfDs that Steel1943 has now added, this redirect previously did make sense, as the phrase was discussed at target. The mention was then removed, but the 2024 RfD saw consensus to keep this despite that. But with respect I can't say I agree. Redirects without mention can be appropriate if their meaning is self-explanatory (e.g. a variant spelling of a name), but this phrase is a reference to something, and the target does not explain what that reference means. That makes it a false promise to our readers. Delete or restore mention. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 04:06, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Comment There are tens, if not hundreds, of joint working groups mentioned on Wikipedia that use the JWG acronym, without any being primary. A set index/dab at Joint Working Group would be viable, and when created JWG should redirect there with a hatnote to Watonga Regional Airport which has this FAA identifier. Thryduulf (talk) 18:43, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- @Thryduulf: I have created a stub at Joint Working Group, but have also drafted a disambiguation page with four potential senses under JWG. I would not lose any sleep either way if the redirect went to the stub and the senses went to a JWG (disambiguation) page. BD2412 T 22:17, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  - @BD2412: Thank you for that. Disambig or retarget to Joint Working Group (Jwg should lead to the same page JWG does). I have a slight preference for retargetting, but it is slight. I do not support targetting the airport as joint working groups are by several orders of magnitude the more common, airport codes rarely are and of the three main ones IATA, ICAO and FAA the latter are almost always the least known. Thryduulf (talk) 02:57, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Thryduulf: After further researching the question and trying to find the origin of the concept of a "joint working group", I am now of the mind that the Joint Working Group stub I created should be merged into Working group. There just aren't sources about what a "joint" working group is that are in any way distinct from those for a "working group". BD2412 T 15:18, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. "Asia ex-Japan (AxJ) refers to the economic region of countries located in Asia, but not including Japan." [2] See also: Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL. 🌳 Balsam Cottonwood (talk) ✝ 03:29, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

But the target article includes Japan. It even happens to have an image of Tokyo in the infobox, though it doesn't necessarily have to. Is this a likely search term for a reader who wants to know about the economy of Asia generally? If they're specifically looking for the Asian economy minus Japan, will this be good enough or will they be disappointed? --BDD (talk) 19:31, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Plain rice → Rice (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

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

I think redirecting to Rice as Food makes more sense -- in that its descriptive of the thing being consumed (it's plain") rather than of the species or the product. Sadads (talk) 22:23, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In British usage, "Plain rice" (white steamed rice) is distinguished from "fried rice" or other "special" (with shrimp, etc) rice dishes. All this should be in Rice as food. Chiswick Chap (talk) 04:28, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Generally, I don't think redirects to specific sections of articles should be created, unless they were an article at some point. Based on this precedence, there could be redirects like Gameplay of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim or Development of Fallout 3 and so on. Mika1h (talk) 18:21, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Directs readers to their intended content. Steel1943 (talk) 18:41, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Highly improbable search term. And in arcticles, there is a conenient template for redirecting to sections: {{section link}}. --Altenmann >talk 18:47, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify that redirects to sections are of course fine (in this case alternative titles or spin-off media). What I meant that these kinds of [section title] of [article title]-type redirects are not appropriate. --Mika1h (talk) 19:19, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree that such redirects are inappropriate, given that the redirect targets exactly what is its title within a section of the respective target article. (Will I go out of my way to create such redirects? Absolutely not, but it definitely goes the right place.) The target section is exactly what the redirect mentions; given the content of the target section, it seems the subject of this redirect is probably not notable enough for a standalone article, so a redirect to the current target is the best we have and probably will have forever. Steel1943 (talk) 20:09, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Like I alluded to previously, by that logic we could create thousands of similar redirects for media articles. Why are we giving this redirect a pass? A random example: So you wouldn't object to the creation of Gameplay of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (PlayStation video game), Development and release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (PlayStation video game), Reception of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (PlayStation video game). --Mika1h (talk) 21:51, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Best way for me to respond to this is ... On RfD, you will find editors who will claim WP:PANDORA is a problem, and others who claim it's not a problem or a valid concern. In most cases, the latter camp "wins" consensus. Steel1943 (talk) 22:50, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to disappoint you but I don't care about winning, I just want to build a better encyclopedia. --Mika1h (talk) 00:35, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"I just want to build a better encyclopedia." No kidding, that's why we are all here, or at least why we should be. If you feel like having WP:PANDORA more accepted, feel free to start a discussion. For me, I'm too tired of trying to argue for WP:PANDORA (your argument, which I agree with) that I'm just like ... whatever, it exists, and I'm not going to create more similar redirects. So regarding the "Sorry to disappoint you..." statement: Nope, your stance is my preferred stance, so thanks for hitting me with friendly fire. Steel1943 (talk) 00:42, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Steel. Plausible search term that unambiguously leads to the relevant content. Thryduulf (talk) 21:09, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as creator. I occasionally create these when the development section is long enough. We have some articles with similar titles, including one from the same series, and it is a plausible search title, so I think it should be kept. QuicoleJR (talk) 21:39, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
How is it a plausible search term opposed to hundreds if not thousands of other media articles with sourced development/production sections? Just because Oblivion's development has an article, we shouldn't create a redirect for every Elder Scrolls game. --Mika1h (talk) 22:14, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Personally, my judge for whether I make this kind of redirect is whether there is a large, substantial amount of content about the specific topic in the article. I don't see why it's a problem. Just because this exists doesn't mean that tons of others will suddenly exist, and even if it did, I don't see why that would be a problem. QuicoleJR (talk) 01:40, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment if this is a useful redirect, then yes, a retarget is probably in order. But I note that it has 19 page views in the last 90 days, and never more than 2 on any day.

The use of the word "for" in this nominated redirect makes it an unlikely redirect in reference to its target.

Delete. As a redirect to drinking water, it's a mistyping of the phrase safe-for-drinking water (with hyphens), which is itself rare. The phrase "safe for drinking water" (with spaces) is more commonly used as an adjective phrase for a property of some pipes or bottles, analogous to food-grade. To the extent that the redirect helps with words-in-title searches intending to find drinking water, a new redirect from water that is safe to drink would be more natural.

Keep per Thryduulf. The water is safe for drinking, which is a normal way of describing drinking water where I am from. No objection to the hyphenated redirect also being created. ~~The suggestion that this redirect is more likely aimed at the newly imagined concept of a safe that you put water in is farfetched in my view.~~ BugGhost 🦗👻 06:46, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Thryduulf. It's true that it would be more standard English to write this with hyphens, but for non-native speakers or for users on mobile devices typing the phrase without hyphens wouldn't be surprising. I don't think the possible alternate meanings seem big enough to cause a problem here. -- LWG ^talk 15:53, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete. It's hard to see why anyone would search for this phrase, and if they were, that this is where they'd want to wind up. When you do an exact search for the phrase, what you wind up finding are adjectival phrases that refer to other things being "safe for drinking water", such as pipes, contaminant levels, bottle materials, etc etc. In none of those cases is this a reasonable target, since it really doesn't cover the typical things that seem to be marked this way. Weirdly-worded, vague phrases should not require guesswork to determine a redirect target. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 03:33, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure whether there is a primary topic for these terms or not. There's masturbation, Arsenal FC fans, henchmen, and several other possible meanings. I thought about retargeting all of them to Goon (a disambiguation page), but then I started having second thoughts, and also my edit on Gooners was reverted by Golem08, so here's an RfD instead.

Keep Goons. Plural-to-singular is nearly always better than plural-to-anythingelse. Exceptions exist, e.g. Queens (geography) doesn't go to Queen (monarch), or Gods (polytheism) doesn't go to God (monotheism), or Indies (geography) doesn't go to Indie (disambiguation for heaps of things, most non-geographical). However, it seems very unlikely that "goons" has a meaning unrelated to the plural of "goon" — to me, it evokes a Mafia boss sending a group of thugs, any of which would be "a goon". Retargeting it to people who barrack for a specific sporting club seems very unhelpful. No opinion on anything else. Nyttend (talk) 05:42, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In three parts:
- Gooner(s) seems ambiguous between Arsenal supporters and those who engage in gooning (masturbation). But, based on Google and Google News results, I'm tentatively convinced that Arsenal supporters are the more common usage, and for only two targets a hatnote is preferable to redirecting to a DAB where many senses won't apply. Weak unify Gooner(s) at Arsenal F.C. supporters with hatnote to Edging (sexual practice), second choice retarget to DAB.
- Keep Gooning. The only other sense of that as a gerund is gooning (kidnapping). That sense used to be the primary landing page, but I disambiguated it and then found that 86% of clicks were going to the masturbation sense, so I retargeted there. I'd need to see strong evidence that anything else is called "gooning" nearly as often as that is to support a retarget/DAB.
- Keep Goons per Nyttend.

You should consider that the English Wikipedia is actually an "international version" of Wikipedia. These links should not end in a football team article. This does not make sense at all!

Arsenal are not as internationally famous as Barcelona or Real Madrid, but few clubs are – there are probably only a handful of clubs in the world in any sport which reach that level of international fame. That's not a compelling reason not to redirect to the article if that is the best target – and like Tamzin I think it probably is.

Comment I oppose the current redirect to Edging (sexual practice) and support retargeting to Teen escort company. Per WP:PRECISION, this term has a clearer and more impactful definition in the context of the troubled teen industry, where “gooning” refers to the often traumatic forced transport of minors by private escort services. This usage is well-documented in journalism, advocacy and legal discourse.

Redirecting to the sexual usage, a niche internet slang, violates WP:DUE by giving undue prominence to a marginal and NSFW topic. The redirect should instead reflect real-world consequences and common usage per WP:REDIRECT — “gooning” is exactly how many users will search for content related to forced youth transport. 1keyhole (talk) 11:43, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree with you that edging is a marginal topic. On the contrary, if you google the word "gooning", nearly all of the results are about edging, and very few are about kidnapping. Duckmather (talk) 16:59, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Create a separate disambiguation page at Gooner, and redirect Gooners and Gooning there. Both uses of "Gooning" discussed in this thread are susceptible to practitioners being called "Gooners", whereas very few subjects on Goon are susceptible to being called "Gooner" or "Gooning".

Redirects exist for the readers, not the redirect wikignomes.

But this isn't reasonably helpful for readers. All caps isn't something that's used normally.

Delete. Redirects do, indeed, exist for the readers. The thing is...this would be more worth keeping if it was misspelled, instead of just being all caps. In that case, it would indicate it was a plausible misspelling, having happened at least once. In this case, if you type the name into the 'search' box, it pops up at the "correct" title regardless of caps; most people won't be typing it into the address bar, and those who do will (almost certainly) be "properly" capitalizing it.

Spider-Man (Insomniac Games series) was moved to this title without discussion in December 2023. The article was recently moved again to Marvel's Spider-Man following this RM. One of the points I noted in that RM was that the title Spider-Man (video game series) is ambiguous with other Spider-Man video games series, such as the 2002–07 games and the early 2000s series. I think it should be retargeted to List of video games featuring Spider-Man. 9ninety (talk) 11:02, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support retarget per nom.

Comment: Saying "MOS:RESULT was deleted" without explaining the context is somewhat misleading. What happened with it was its creator, SMcCandlish, created MOS:RESULT and then about a minute later, moved it without redirect to MOS:MILRESULT. In addition, if anything, in the "Wikipedia:" and "MOS:" namespaces, "ambiguous" is better served with a disambiguation page (provided the redirect is not too old and frequently linked). Steel1943 (talk) 15:34, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
WP:RESULT is definitely too ambiguous, and we should not be redirecting unclear WP:-namespace shortcuts to MoS sections. It would be better to make an internal disambiguation page, including MOS:MILRESULT and various other pages that have "result[s]" in their name or which tally the results of processes or catalogue common results of recurrent debates, and whatever else someone might be looking for when they take a stab at "WP:RESULT".

Nominating a redirect that has been blank-and-redirected is only a contestation of the WP:BLAR if they are in favor of restoration. If they support deletion of the underlying content, that's quite the opposite of a contestation. Rhododentries' response to you shows that they are not in favor of restoration.

Desalination membrane

Desalination membrane → Reverse osmosis (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Not mentioned in the body of the target article in this specific manner, thus making it unclear why readers would be redirected to the current target article when searching this term. I was originally going to WP:BOLDly retarget this redirect to Membrane distillation, but after reviewing that article, I'm not convinced that that article and the nominated redirect represent the same subject, especially considering that Desalination is a separate article. Steel1943 (talk) 06:36, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - reverse osmosis relies heavily on membranes, and the section #Desalination does mention membranes quite a bit. While it doesn't outright say "desalination membrane" (except in the references) it does talk about membranes in the context of desalination a lot. --Plantman (talk) 06:47, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Switching to weak keep, more in favour of retargetting. See below. --Plantman (talk) 07:00, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I get that, but the same claim could apparently be made regarding membranes for the whole concept of Desalination in general; Reverse osmosis, Membrane distillation, and Desalination all make reference to using "membranes". Steel1943 (talk) 06:52, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Steel1943 I feel like either Reverse osmosis or Desalination is the best place for this to point to. I'm slightly leaning towards Desalination now, because it provides an overview of all the different uses of membranes in desalination process. That said, I wouldn't be opposed to keeping it as it is (pointing to RO) if there was a consensus to do so. --Plantman (talk) 07:00, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~. The word "merde" is not a language other than English. It is (also) the English language. It is a very real loanword in English. wikt:merde#English. Loanwords within English are not words of a language other than English. The referenced explanatory essay gives serviette as an example of an acceptable "apparently foreign word".

Oppose "retarget to Profanity" since there is substantial precedence to not retarget examples of a subject to its parent subject in this manner.

Even if it's completely synonymous (and I do question the extent to which this is even English, despite the cites...even the attestations at those dictionaries all seem to be simply using it as a foreign word), it doesn't matter, because the article "shit" isn't about shit, the stuff...it's about shit, the word, which is completely unrelated to merde, the word. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 15:51, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment while the most common usage in Wikipedia search results is clearly the nom's suggested target, the anatomy meaning is also widely used and probably wins on long-term signficance. In my google results the overwhelming primary topic is the postcode district (see TA postcode area) and there is also the German torpedo boat TA2 among various other uses (forms, product codes, a grade of titanium, non-notable companies) so there needs to be a disambiguation page for TA2. I'm uncertain at present whether it should be primary, but I'm leaning yes. Thryduulf (talk) 02:33, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguate I don't think there is a primary topic here based on usage, it is 3 characters and used in many different contexts, mainly as an abbreviation per Google Books/Scholar (see e.g. "P. putida (designated TA2)"). It seems highly unlikely that TA2's usage as a racing class would outweigh all of these other usages combined. On the other hand, there is that line in the Trans-Am article "TA2 is currently Trans Am's most popular class among competitors and has been exported internationally to Europe, Asia and Australia" which suggests it might qualify under the "long term significance" criterion. I'm happy to be overruled by other editors on this judgement but personally I think it isn't substantially more significant than the use of TA2 as a titanium grade. Anyways, since it's clear that a disambiguation page is needed regardless of whether it ends up at TA2 or TA2 (disambiguation), I wrote that. Mathnerd314159 (talk) 04:21, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Any type of feminism could be performative, depending on the context. I wouldn't retarget to any of those places. The current target is more germane. But while it does mention a protest that could be characterized as feminist, it doesn't use the term, leading to the danger that a reader searching the term could be looking for more specific information than we could deliver.

Delete. Created as a redirect to the current target two years ago, but I can't see why. This sounds like a quotation of a title, but the only appearance of tenements in the article is the title of an Act of Parliament: An Act for restoring unto Murrough, alias Morgan, Earl of Insiquin, all his Honours, Manors, Lands, and Tenements, in Ireland, whereof he was in Possession on the 23th of October, 1641, or at any Time since.

Entertainment complex

Entertainment complex → Family entertainment center (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Vague term that doesn't seem to have a commonly understood meaning. Google searches return the Civilization VI game element as the top results. Places whose name include the term seem to be a mix of varied uses, including indoor malls with cinemas, bowling alleys, etc.; integrated resorts with casinos; sports and leisure centres; and some others. The only definition I could find was from The Complete Real Estate Encyclopedia via thefreedictionary.com, which says an entertainment complex is "A shopping center that features theaters, restaurants, amusements,and related retail stores". The Wikipedia article for home entertainment center claims "entertainment complex" as a synonym, but I find that highly questionable.

    Maybe; it's an imperfect scenario.

  My concern with this option is that it is essentially a WP:PTM at best towards a {{R avoided double redirect}} when there is apparently a separate, potentially notable subject which could be called an "entertainment complex" that we just need to write an article about.

Keep. A complex is usually either multiple buildings or a building with multiple rooms. An entertainment complex would be one where those buildings/rooms provide some kind of entertainment, which is captured in Family entertainment center. I get that the use of 'entertainment complex' in Integrated Entertainment Business Bill is not as family friendly as Family entertainment center but this simply points to the fact that perhaps a new article is needed to capture the non-family friendly aspects of an entertainment complex. It does not mean that the redirect is redundant or misleading.

Disambiguate. Here is a decent start on a disambiguation list - Multiplex (movie theater), amusement park, shopping mall, casinos, media-focused conglomerate, family entertainment center, entertainment center, maybe even the Thailand bill. Given the lack of encyclopedic information, the primary topic here should probably be a Wiktionary entry. Mathnerd314159 (talk) 05:02, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've never heard of most of those topics referred to as an "entertainment complex". What you have stated is essentially a WP:DABCONCEPT at best if an "entertainment complex" is a facility which may contain one or more of these. Steel1943 (talk) 18:18, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll help you with the links. First: Some critics predict the pop singer Miley Cyprus may take home the Record of the Year award... Second: Liam and Miley Cyprus have been spotted about... The third has a picture of her with the caption Miley Cyprus. The fact that those articles also spell her name correctly elsewhere in the article demonstrates that it's an error and not a deliberate choice to spell her name that way. And that there are several articles with the spelling demonstrates that it's a plausible error. Plausible errors should be kept. By the way, I'm not claiming that it's a typo so I don't care how it's typed; the error is of the autocorrect variety because Cyrus is very close to the spelling of Cyprus so some devices would assume you're trying to spell the name of the country instead of her name. -- Tavix ^(talk) 13:53, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, very unlikely error. Just because you can find it being made in the wild a handful of times doesn't mean we need a redirect to match. A reasonable person wouldn't really expect this to work, and even then, I suspect (although can't be sure) that the search function would return the intended article as a top suggestion anyway. She's so (baffingly) popular and talked about, that you can make almost any random typo of her name, and find someone else has already made it somewhere. We should not be making redirects for all of those. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 14:15, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have a hard time believing the comic book character is primary over the organization. At best, neither is, but I'd lean toward the org being primary. In either of those cases, the current redirect can be moved without leaving a redirect to a disambiguated title, and then the org can either be moved to the base title, or a dab page can be created at the base title. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 19:25, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Stubify. I hate to argue for content creation being the outcome, but what is really needed here is a broad concept article describing what dry heat is and summarizing its applications. Normally, I'd argue for deletion to encourage article creation, but that would leave Dry Heat as the default topic for all searches, which is unsatisfactory.

Earthen Vessel

Earthen Vessel → Reformed Baptists#Strict Baptists (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

The word "Earthen" does not appear anywhere on the target page (let alone the target section) leaving the connection unclear, nor did it appear in the version that was current when the redirect was created in 2010. In 2009 an article at this title about a Christian instrumentalist band (formed that year in Alaska) was correctly speedily deleted under A7, and google results for "Earthen Vessel" band are about a 1970s "Jesus rock" band from the midwest, which suggest that it isn't nonsense but I'm non-the-wiser about what the meaning is. All the uses I've found on Wikipedia are about earthenware, which is what I expected when I saw it in the list of titles (when researching Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2025 June 4#Earthen) and I recommend retargetting there (as a {{R avoided double redirect}} of Earthen pot). Thryduulf (talk) 10:56, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I can't remember what I was thinking of when I created this, but vaguely remember going through articles for Baptist sects at one time, so I assume that I created it from some text that has since been deleted. I've got no particular background in Baptist history or culture beyond going down a Wikipedia rabbit hole a couple of years ago.

Delete per 35.139. Unless "Nth studio album" redirects become a widespread norm, then it doesn't feel plausible that people would type in this term to look up what album it describes; I'd expect that someone searching for that info on Wikipedia would be likelier to just go to Jay-Z#Discography and start counting.

Keep (as creator): For context, this redirect came from WP:AFC/R. Per above, stripping the honorific “tan” is grounds for a “short name” redirect. I see a valid argument for retargetting to Wikipedia as well. The debate really should be where this redirect should target, and I see a better argument for leaving it alone.

Retarget to List of wars involving Iran — seems to have been targeted to Iran–Iraq in a recentist mindset that didn’t account for the fact that countries do things like fight in more than one war. Roast (talk) 21:21, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree; other titles like Ukraine war and Israel war redirect to lists of wars, even if one particular war is current or recent. Anyway, the Iran-Iraq War is not very recent, and most people searching for "Iran War" right now will probably be looking for Iran-Israel War. However, that is also recentism, so the best thing to do is probably just redirect to List of wars involving Iran and let the reader find the correct war. 🌳 Balsam Cottonwood (talk) ✝ 21:49, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Saw Shalom

Saw Shalom → Gymkhana FC#Singapore National Football League 2017 Division 2 Winning squad (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Saw Shalom closed with consensus to delete and this redirect was created immediately after, despite having no support, by the creator, who was very disruptive and had to be taken to WP:ANI for repeatedly disrupting this AfD. The more I look into this, the more I oppose the redirect. There is no evidence on my internet searches, using multiple search engines, that there was ever a player called "Saw Shalom" or "Saw Shalom Haythaw" playing for Gymkhana. The only hits coming up are direct Wikipedia mirrors. In fact, I can't find any sources for the players listed at Gymkhana FC in their 2017 squad at all. Even if this can be verified as true, in a case where a footballer has played at 19 clubs or more, we would never redirect to just one of their clubs, especially not one that they haven't played for for over 8 years. Woodlands Lions FC would make slightly more sense, as it is allegedly his current club, but I still oppose this as I can't find one reliable source linking him to that club and we still don't generally redirect to their current club for footballers as that can change on a regular basis.

I can't find evidence that this was referred to as the PC-80 (as opposed to 8000).

Chip Whitley

Chip Whitley → Conan O'Brien (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Did a google search, and Conan O'Brien wasn't mentioned for Chip Whitley searches. Appears to be fake. It is in page history of him having to do something with the actor. Don't know if the actor is notable enough or whether this redirect is legit or is fake. The user that created this also created a fake one called Dora The Ex-Toader. I think either Delete as one option, second option would be Draftify and crate article on actor or another one would be Keep. I am honestly neutral and I should let people who know about this and what it means debate and argue. Servite et contribuere (talk) 17:46, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The talk page comment by Ardric47 asked to look at the beginning of the target article, and the redirect creator agreed. This was 7-9 July 2005, and I don't find anything on Chip Whitley at the target around this time. Whereas in October 2005, Chip Whitley was merged to the target under the O’Brien's style section. The unsourced content, even if not fake, needn't be kept as it's minor, and may have been recentism for that time. Jay 💬 19:59, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

More history: The entire "Comedy and mannerisms" section (which included Chip Whitley) was moved from Conan O'Brien to Late Night with Conan O'Brien in 2006. In 2007, a vandal 207.160.40.253, removed 4 sections from Late Night with Conan O'Brien in 4 edits within one minute. Three of those were reverted immediately by three different editors, but the fourth and largest vandalism of 20,098 bytes, that included Chip Whitley, was missed by all editors. The removed content was unsourced though, so we cannot just bring it back. Jay 💬 19:53, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to List of Late Night with Conan O'Brien sketches Seems to be a long-running gag from Conan, including a sketch on his TBS show where he used the alias on Tinder, so it's definitely a plausible (though very insider) redirect. Nathannah • 📮 00:59, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dance drama

Dance drama → Wuju (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

There are many types of dance drama, not just wuju. This is misleading. Either delete, retarget, or possibly a DAB? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 03:14, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see quite a few results for "dance drama" on this site, so I'm inclined to suggest a DAB or something similar. Seems like a reasonable enough search term that I could believe leading to the current target (given it's a direct translation of the name) or a number of other options, so some sort of list would make the most sense. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 04:19, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Only reason I didn't DAB at creation was that we didn't seem to have any articles on the other genres of dance drama. Since WP:DAB requires at least two valid target articles, I went the redirect route. If we do have articles on these other forms of dance drama, a DAB definitely makes more sense. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:43, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Laterthanyouthink, QuietHere, what articles should this be disambiguated with? Rusalkii (talk) 19:21, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
For a start, mudra, Saang, Rabinal Achí, and Khamba Thoibi Jagoi all have redirects with pointing toward them which contain "dance drama". That makes at least five options, though that was limited to just pages with "dance drama" in the title so there may be even more past that. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 20:11, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The one I came across that led me to find the redirect was Kakkarissi Natakam, but there are a lot of other forms of performance that use dance drama, especially Indian ones (see Dance in India), like Kuchipudi, Bhagavata Mela, etc., and there are Indonesian and Balinese ones Wayang wong and Gambuh, and others. Dance drama is a very generic term though. I'm wondering if it should target the section Dance#Theatrical, which could be expanded to include the term, mentioning some prominent examples, and also refer to Folk dance, many of which incorporate dance drama. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 02:00, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe leaving as a redirect, but targeting that section to provide an overview? It might be too difficult and onerous to try to list all the possible types of dance drama on a DAB, actually. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 02:02, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also Kathakali and perhaps Musicals too. The articles mentioned in this discussion don't really make a disambiguation page, but could rather be a List of dance drama forms or something such. Or a WP:BCA. Delete per WP:REDLINK. Jay 💬 06:30, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Monopoly: The Card Game

Monopoly: The Card Game → Monopoly (game) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

I originally redirected this to Monopoly (game) because it failed notability guidelines for products and services, and was filled with original research. The target article used to have some substantive coverage of the topic, but I removed it because it was unreliably sourced. Therefore, this redirect serves no navigational purpose and should be deleted. (There is now only a trivial mention on the target page, though, and some disambiguation pages still have it listed.) 1isall (talk) 02:31, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging User:Cunard to see if more sources can be found at this time. BOZ (talk) 07:16, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that recommendation, BOZ. However, in the article History of Monopoly, the only mention of Monopoly: The Card Game appears in the section History of Monopoly#Localizations, licenses, and spin-offs as a single, passing reference. It's not substantive and lacks a citation. I believe the redirect would therefore be unsuitable for retargeting there. 1isall (talk) 02:52, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: These are the only sources I can find:
1. "Harvard Business Review article". Harvard Business Review. Vol. 80. 2001. p. 54. Retrieved 2025-05-26 – via Google Books.
  The source notes: "It’s very tough to make a game that can satisfy both those who prefer casual games of luck and those who prefer to use their heads. In 1999, my company developed Monopoly: The Card Game with the aim of providing the emotional high points of the original game but in much less time. Given Monopoly’s wide appeal, we knew we had to design a game that kids could find fun to play but that adults could also approach with sophisticated reasoning and decision making. I think we succeeded, despite having such a tough act to follow."

  The article notes: "I called our friends at Hasbro, maker of Monopoly in (almost) all its incarna-tions, and found that Monopoly The Card Game has been licensed to a company called Winning Moves. It's just as you've described. The object is to be the first player to accumulate $10,000."

OK, thank you for taking a look @Cunard. I don't think that's enough to restore the article at this time, but I do feel the content should be retained in some form (under the redirect, most likely) in case more sources are found in the future. BOZ (talk) 22:42, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think the redirect is valid, and a brief mention of the game can be restored to the article, based on the sources found above. I'll also note that Monopoly Deal, for example, mentioned there, is a card game (and so are few others). So the very generic term used here can be also plausibly used for other games mentioned there. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:58, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to History of Monopoly#Localizations, licenses, and spin-offs. We should probably remove the link there. But for now, it's the best we can do, and it will also deliver on similarly named topics. For example, I remember playing Monopoly Deal and enjoying it, but not the name, and I wouldn't have batted an eye if you had told me it was called Monopoly: The Card Game. So even if the 1999 game had an article, I'd recommend a hatnote to cover the other games. --BDD (talk) 20:33, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Could also refer to his father who was also known around the same time as Murchison Jr. Murchison Jr. was best known for being the founder of the Dallas Cowboys, but his father was also well known in the 60s. Murchison Sr. was noted during the time of the JFK Assassination and Madeleine Duncan Brown (An advertising executive) had claimed to have been present at a party at the Dallas home of Clint Murchison on the evening prior to the assassination of John F. Kennedy that was attended by Lyndon B. Johnson as well as other famous, wealthy, and powerful individuals including, J. Edgar Hoover, Richard Nixon, H. L. Hunt, George Brown, and John McCloy. P.S I did get this last part almost mostly from the article Madeleine Duncan Brown. But back to the point, I would suggest to Dabify. P.S. I restarted this in order to notify people about it, but unfortunately I couldn't. If someone could help me list it in discussion categories for ones related to Texas, Oil, American Football, Dallas Cowboys and Business, that would be very helpful. Thank you Servite et contribuere (talk) 07:12, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This certainly seems like it should be a dab page rather than a redirect, unless Jr. is so much more prominent than Sr. that Jr. is WP:PRIMARY. But even so, there should then be a hatnote on Jr.'s page. Rlendog (talk) 14:04, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

🥹 → Emoji (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

is a redirect from a specific emoji expressing a specific emotion to the Emoji page in general really THAT much better than just... not having a redirect until a much more reasonable target gets found? User:Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 04:11, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment this is U=1F979 FACE HOLDING BACK TEARS, the closest title match we have to that seems to be Holding Back the Tears, which as an album is not a useful target. Lots of articles contain the phrase "holding back tears" but with the exception of two instances where it seems to be the name of a racehorse all of them are uses of the phrase that wouldn't be useful as a redirect target even if they were the only instance.

Delete (second choice retarget to Louisiana, but do not keep, and do not dabify). Disambiguation is for when two pages could reasonably share the same title. But I don't think anyone would reasonably expect either "Louisiana" or "Los Angeles" to be abbreviated here, especially for such hyperspecific topics. If someone wants to search for this, it's not that burdensome to type out the name of the place they're looking for. Plus, we don't even have a redirect for just "Los Angeles" (and probably shouldn't, since while it's mentioned a couple times on the California page, there's nothing really dedicated to LA specifically there). 35.139.154.158 (talk) 11:36, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Lean disambiguate. My first instinct was "keep" or "delete". Los Angeles is the primary topic for LA so I'm surprised to see a preference to retarget to the Louisiana article over keeping or DAB. I can't support retargeting to Louisiana. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 20:32, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per 35.139.154.158. Also, not suitable for a disambiguation page due to use to multiple unrelated acronyms. Steel1943 (talk) 22:43, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Los Angeles is the clear primary topic for LA (as evidenced by that redirect, as well as common usage: most people don't refer to states or provinces by their abbreviations). Therefore this is an {{r from avoided double redirect}} to LGBTQ rights in Los Angeles – which, uh, doesn't exist, but should. Los Angeles is briefly covered in the California article and in any case is an {{r from subtopic}}: the reader will learn we don't have a separate article on LGBTQ rights in LA and will have to scrounge what information they can or go elsewhere.

Fully agree with IP35. Delete because of the abbreviation of a state which is ambiguous. Disambiguation was an option if we had an article about LGBT rights in Los Angeles. It makes sense to create "LGBT rights" redirects to countries, kingdoms or states. City-specific exceptions are like the article LGBTQ rights in Mexico City, where the lead says the rights are considerably more progressive than the rest of Mexico. I would have nominated the recently created LGBTQ rights in Los Angeles for deletion too, as probably the only such city-based redirect, but there is one sentence in the target: In November 2024, The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously to make the city a "sanctuary city" for LGBTQ youth.. that can be justified, but then we may have to refine it to #Transgender_and_intersex_rights.

Lionsgate

Lionsgate → Lions Gate (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Per this RM, ~~InfiniteNexus is trying to put through exactly what he did with the Universal Studios title that ended up having it DABbed. I want to do the same here.~~ my understanding is that InfiniteNexus wanted to have an article on a studio/company that was recently formed (14 May 2024) to take the title "Lionsgate", like in the case of Coachella (festival) and Universal Studios (the latter was however decided that it'd be DABbed, though I personally disagree (see my talk page section on it and the page history of that title)).. Like the latter, I also disagree wholeheartedly, as this title stood since 1997 (pre-WP formation) up until 28 November 2024 when it took its current distinctive name. What do you think should happen to this title: its own DAB page, Set index or re-target? Intrisit (talk) 19:28, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose changing it keep it as is, pointing to the unified spellings disambiguation page. -- 65.93.183.249 (talk) 21:41, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Lionsgate" and "Lions Gate" are distinct titles, as "unified" as you want it to be on a single DAB page rather than its own DAB page. (See Star TV and Star Channel for proof) Intrisit (talk) 22:55, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – I'm not sure I understand this request? The RM already resulted in rough consensus to disambiguate Lionsgate, which is exactly what has been done here, as Lions Gate is a DAB page and a separate DAB page for "Lionsgate" is not in order per WP:DABCOMBINE. I also don't see the relevance of an unrelated RM from a year ago that has nothing to do with this page and bears little similarity, unless you believe my consensus-abiding actions were inappropriate in either case. InfiniteNexus (talk) 03:12, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that was insensitive of me, as I've been unaware of any RM regarding this title until you reverted my edit with the link to the RM in question. I've neutralized my RfD rationale now, but it does however need discussion, as in the case of "Universal Studios" title, which you put up the RM first and then the RfD. I want to do the same here, especially if "Lionsgate" was rebranded/renamed to something completely different for roughly half a year now, despite the presence of "Lionsgate Studios". Now you see where I'm coming from and where this is going...? Intrisit (talk) 22:55, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand, either. I participated in the Lionsgate Studios RM. It happened shortly after the split was announced and didn't have a ton of participants. I won't be surprised if it's raised again. Any reader searching the combine form, and any editor linking Lionsgate in an article *most likely* intends one of the studios that is or has had this as part of their name. Maybe point to Lions Gate#Entertainment. I actually think a set index article might serve readers better since the situation is pretty confusing and it's not clear readers would know which "Lionsgate" is which from the list. Are you offering to draft the article User:Intrisit? --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 20:44, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Myceteae: Draft? No! See my updated rationale and response to InfiniteNexus's statement. The "Universal Studios" was treated the same way. The real reason I participated in neither the RM nor the RfD for the ""Universal Studios" title was because I was robbed of my PC before he/she instigated its prior RM. The "Lionsgate" one, having been unused by itself for roughly half a year now and having its name completely changed, I simply can't let this one slide. Hence why even with a non-neutralized objective rationale, which like I stated I've now neutralized and like the "Universal Studios" title, this deserves an up-to-a-month-long discussion! I simply had to put this RfD up at that time! Intrisit (talk) 22:55, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For Paul, Coffe is not a misspelling but an alternative spelling. Coffe was the original spelling used by his father and adopted by most siblings, but Paul 'later' changed it to Cuffe: Paul's older brother John decided to use a version of his father's first name, Coffe, as his last name. Several of his siblings did the same, but not all. Paul later signed his name on correspondence, deeds, and his will by spelling 'Coffe', with a 'u' instead of an 'o'. -- Tavix ^(talk) 16:03, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

National railway

National railway → State-owned enterprise (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

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

Chargers

Of all sports teams with redirects that may refer to something else, I would question this one the most. The top of the Los Angeles Chargers article says "Chargers redirect here.

Chargers could also refer to the Deccan Chargers, the Gold Coast Chargers, and outside of sports; Battery Chargers. I would suggest changing target to Charger. Note that 49ers currently redirects to 49er and they are a way more notable team.

Comment These seem to be a thing, or was a thing. Googling "ken taco hut" turns up quite a bit of results. Since this is/was a Yum! triple-franchise outlet, the origin of wanting to make these redirects seems clear. I'm not sure it has to be mentioned in the article, but it seems to be clearly a subtopic, if a very minor one. The main question for me is whether this is a worthwhile search term.

What differentiation between style guidance in the manual of style, some of which applies to specific topics/articles and style guidance for specific topics/articles elsewhere is important to make? Why is making that distinction important? Thryduulf (talk) 15:03, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The distinction is that the manual of style is a formal guideline and hence has a higher degree of consensus behind it than individual WikiProjects' advice pages. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 15:27, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Some bits of the manual of style are not widely supported by people other than MOS regulars (as evidenced by how controversial capitalisation can get for example) while style advice found in some wikiprojects is uncontroversial. So whether some piece of style advice is found in place A or place B is not a reliable guide to how strong a consensus it enjoys, meaning that enforcing an arbitrary barrier to finding a given bit of guidance based on that seems counterproductive. Thryduulf (talk) 22:51, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, if someone is being misleading about how much buy-in a page has that's on them; realistically speaking I expect this to be helpful for navigation and not misdealing for anyone actually opening the page, which we should do anyway if a guideline we're not familiar with is linked in an argument.

Keep Square root of 4 to set a consistent pattern with the articles Square root of 2, Square root of 3, Square root of 5, Square root of 6, Square root of 7. That was the same reason I created Square root of 9 last year, but I acknowledge the argument is weaker there since there is no Square root of 8 article. And if I had seen the 2019 RfD I would probably have supported keeping it for that reason too. And 9 is as far as this will go - I did not create (and would support deleting if someone else created) Square root of 16 Square root of 25 etc. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 03:42, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't aware of those Sqrt redirects. They are clearly not "necessary", yet are among the kinds of things we keep just because someone might possibly invoke them at some point. There are a ton of miscapitalized redirects that we keep around even though they do a lot of actual harm by showing up in the Visual Editor popup that invites people to link them.

This comment either misconstrues the question or, given the "cheeto in the bathtub" attitude, is unserious. Should Square root of 5 and Square root of 7 exist? These appear to be quite notable.

It was an inane answer to an inane question, but the point I was making was completely serious. "We probably should have articles on Square root of 8 and Square root of 10." No, we probably shouldn't; we probably shouldn't even have articles for 6 and 7 either, but I don't have the stomach to start AFDs on those.

Delete all. These redirects are more likely to confuse than clarify. Articles are better served by linking to Square root.

Um, what? How is it disorienting to search for "square root of four" and be correctly told that it is two? * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 04:29, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It is disorienting as a link from an article. Searching for random terms is a different usage. Should redirects be used as context-less repositories of facts, like a Jeopardy bot? For example, I wonder who the current King of England is. If I search for that term, I get redirected to the topic of the Monarchy, not the person currently holding that title. Brigandeur (talk) 06:48, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Your argument is flawed. The King of England is a temporary position and is therefore subject to change. On the other hand, the square root of any number will remain constant. It’s like comparing apples to oranges. --Plantman (talk) 07:13, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Whether a topic has a temporal component is not relevant here. I am comparing linking to a concept and linking to a specific instance. The square root of four is both constantly a square root and equal to two. My argument is that in a hypothetical discussion where the square root of four comes up, the relevant topic to link to would be the concept of a square root. Linking instead to two by way of a redirect from "square root of four" comes off as both obfuscatory and condescending. Brigandeur (talk) 02:32, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You have misread my proposal.

BD2412 T 02:27, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
First, that's simply not true, and second, those articles already say that they're perfect squares, which is the exact same thing as having a whole number square root. And before you proclaim "oho! then redirect them there!", no, for the reasons already stated by me and Brigandeur. I also misread nothing of the sort, you asked, point blank:

They may be harmless from a reader's perspective, but from an editor's perspective they create the impression that there is a pattern that should be followed and that more such redirects should be created (see "That was the same reason I created Square root of 9" above). Should we bother to to create them, or clean these up and move on? Brigandeur (talk) 09:59, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I feel as though redirecting these articles will lead to more debate and a domino effect. If "sqrt4" leading to "2" isn't okay for WP, then what making "2^2" redirecting to "4" okay? Why does "sqrt(-1)" redirect to "Imaginary unit"? "10^6" to "1,000,000"? Where does Wikipedia draw the line? Why not have all "derivative of n" articles redirect to 0? It seems a bit contradictory. MontanaMako (talk) 22:20, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Redirects are cheap. Square root of 4 is a plausible search term or wikilink, and is unambiguously the same number as 2. It should not be a separate article, but some part of Draft:Square root of 4 could plausibly be merged into a section of 2 and the redirect could point at the section. Inre the nomination's "deleted for similar reasons in a 2019 RfD" it should be noted that there was a nominator urging deletion, one "weak delete", one person who retracted their vote, and one comment; there wasn't enough discussion to draw any meaningful conclusions about interested Wikipedians' general consensus. –jacobolus (t) 03:23, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep square root of 4 and square root of 9 as redirects; delete sqrt4; and do not replace with the draft article. There's no harm in keeping the redirect to avoid a redlink between square root of 3 and square root of 5, though sqrt4 reads more as calculator input than a plausible search term, and any mathematical properties of the square root of 4 can be adequately discussed in the article about 2 or square root.

Perhaps a couple of sentences about squares, root rectangles and trigonometric rectangles are worth merging. But the rest could easily be written about the square root of any integer (e.g., continued fractions, terminating decimal expansions, standard deviations) by merely copying, pasting, and changing the numbers – in other words, nothing special to the number 2. ^Complex/_Rational 01:06, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

- To clarify, a reader who might plausibly search for "square root of n" is most likely looking for explanation and instruction on the meaning of the operation and its calculation. They are not served by being blankly redirected to the result without any explanation. The only vaguely related explanation would be found Square root, so that is the only plausibly acceptable target, though barely, so I would favour deletion rather than retargeting.

Comment "United States Coast Guard News"[15] is, per the banner at the top of the page, an official website of the US Government and United States Coast Guard News does redirect to United States Coast Guard, and it's not an implausible search term for that. Other than the official news page of the US Coast Guard Academy [16] almost all my search results are for (collections of) news stories about or featuring the USCG (the Daily Mirror features prominently in my results for some reason). Hits on Wikipedia are almost exclusively in citations though, so I'm unsure how useful a search term this is. Thryduulf (talk) 10:52, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Re Tavix: The Doctors (2000 TV series), The Doctors (1963 TV series), The Doctors (1969 TV series) and The Doctors (talk show) at least all have multiple series/seasons ("series" is always a plausible search term for "season" and vice versa). This is a plausible search term for the first series/season for all of them. Thryduulf (talk) 10:59, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you show evidence of usage of "series 1" for any of those shows? If yes, add a hatnote. If no, don't add one. So long as Doctors series 1 is at the base title, it is the de facto primary topic. -- Tavix ^(talk) 14:41, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Googling "The Doctors series 1" the top three results are for the 2020 TV series, The Doctors (South Korean TV series), Doctor Who: The Doctors, and a book series by Louise Bay (both of which might be notable) also appear on the first page. Searching for "The Doctors" "Series 1" Doctors (2000 TV series) is the top hit, with the 2020 TV series and the talk show also making an appearance on the first page. All the evidence I can see points to there being no primary topic. Thryduulf (talk) 13:22, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If anything, this is solid evidence that Google results should not be used to determine primary topic. The first three things you list are a series that only has a single season and a couple of things that don't have articles. None of those things are useful for the question at hand. Instead of regurgitating, can you try analyzing these results? How is "series" used in this context? -- Tavix ^(talk) 19:09, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In all cases "series" is used in the plain English sense. It is not our job to say that people using "series 1" in relation to a TV programme that didn't have a series 2 is wrong, it is our job to enable people to find the content they are looking for (not the content we think they should be looking for). It is very clear that people using the search term are not looking for a single topic, but multiple different ones. I have analysed all the information available, and it all points to the same conclusion: there is no primary topic. Thryduulf (talk) 10:49, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Saying "plain English" isn't helpful because 'series' has multiple uses in (plain) English. In television, series can be synonymous with the American English usage of season or it can be synonymous with program. I'm asking for your evidence because I do not believe you have analyzed your regurgitation of Google results to filter for the correct context. Better evidence would be linking to the specific results that uses "The Doctors series 1" to refer to each series in question. I also disagree with your assertion that Google results can be used to deduce what someone would be searching for in Wikipedia. Google's algorithm prioritizes giving a searcher a variety of different results; this is so a searcher doesn't have to scroll through a bunch of similar results to find a minority topic. This is not compatible with Wikipedia's preference to use primary topic. -- Tavix ^(talk) 15:40, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've presented all my evidence and explained to you my methodology and reasoning. It's now up to you to actually provide some evidence that there is actually a primary topic, rather than just repeatedly asserting I'm wrong without backing that up. Thryduulf (talk) 17:27, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I do not have the burden of proof, I cannot provide evidence of absence. -- Tavix ^(talk) 17:47, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not asking you to provide evidence of absence, I'm asking you to provide evidence of the primary topic you repeatedly claim exists. Thryduulf (talk) 11:11, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I made no such claim. -- Tavix ^(talk) 01:37, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Eh? You've spent this entire discussion opposing the view that there is no primary topic. Either there is a primary topic or there isn't, if you reject the evidence showing there is no primary topic then (assuming you are acting in good faith) you can only be asserting that there is a primary topic. Are you commenting in good faith? Thryduulf (talk) 11:34, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you recall my original !vote, my rationale was I don't see the ambiguity. WP:PRIMARYTOPIC only comes into play where there's ambiguity. -- Tavix ^(talk) 12:41, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Disambig per Thryduulf. This is a plausible search term, given that most of the protests regarding the Gaza War are anti-Israel. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 22:12, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Retarget to just Gaza war protests in the United States rather than Gaza war protests in the United States#Universities specifically. The latter is a subsection of the "Responses" section, and is in fact specifically about the responses to the protests and not the protests themselves, so is definitely unsuitable. The protests themselves are covered geographically, with no single subsection that covers universities, so there's no obvious better subsection target. I'm not sure 2024 pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses and 2025 pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses are helpful disambiguation options since they're essentially sub-articles of Gaza war protests in the United States - in other words, everything in them is more generally covered there, and I think if people were looking for year-specific details they'd include a year. But if there are any articles that substantially cover anti-Israel campus protests that weren't in the context of the Gaza War, e.g. any prior to 2023, I'd support disambiguating with those. -Elmer Clark (talk) 03:57, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that there seems to be an issue with Filmi's coverage being limited to India while articles like Filmi qawwali making it clear that "filmi" is not in fact India-specific. But I think it's clear the same concept is being described and this is just an issue of inadequate coverage in Filmi.

RO/DI

RO/DI → Reverse osmosis#Aquariums (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Seems to be a WP:XY in the context which it is used. "RO" represents the nominated redirect's target ... but apparently, "DI" stands for Deionization, which is a redirect towards Purified water#Deionization, and thus apparently a separate subject. In addition, in the target article, the current target section and Reverse osmosis#Water and wastewater purification both mention deionization. With all this being said, and the fact this redirect is a mishmash of acronyms, probably best to delete this thing. Steel1943 (talk) 06:32, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The RO/DI combo is explicitly discussed in that article ("An effective combination of both RO and deionization is popular among reef aquarium keepers...") but not in Purified water#Deionization. And from discussions like [19] and [20], I get the impression that RO/DI water is considered a sort of subcategory of RO water, so even the parts of that section that don't explicitly address it might still be of interest to someone searching "RO/DI." -Elmer Clark (talk) 07:45, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom as first choice, or unrefine as second choice. If aquariums are the context for this redirect, then shouldn't Marine aquarium, which has multiple mentions, be the more appropriate (but surprising) target? Water purification would have been the best, but even there RO and DI are separate sections, and not mentioned together. Jay 💬 05:55, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
