May 2021[edit]

  1. User:Melange fiesta/Template SIattention: nominated at MfD; notified Melange fiesta (talk · contribs) 12:34, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Trivializes an important mental health issue, thus violating WP:UBCR. While at face value this may seem a reasonable sentiment, it's a stereotype that's often used to dismiss people who self-harm, discouraging them from finding help. Our own article on self-harm notes: A common belief regarding self-harm is that it is an attention-seeking behaviour; however, in many cases, this is inaccurate.
    • Outcome: Deleted.

June 2021[edit]

  1. Two redirects:
    1. Thought Crimes: nominated at RfD; Target: Thoughtcrime (notified); notified CanadianCaesar (talk · contribs) 20:41, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
    2. Thought crimes: nominated at RfD; Target: Thoughtcrime 20:41, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Thought Crimes was for a few minutes in 2006 the (incorrect) title for the article now at Thoughtcrimes. After that article was moved, the redirect was swiftly retargeted to Thoughtcrime. Since then, however, the movie Thought Crimes: The Case of the Cannibal Cop has come out. Per WP:SMALLDETAILS, I propose we retarget to Thought Crimes: The Case of the Cannibal Cop, on the premise that someone using the capital C is more likely to be looking for the movie. The movie article can have a hatnote to Thoughtcrime and Thoughtcrimes.
      Thought crimes didn't exist till a few minutes ago, but I created it as a companion to this one, as clearly it should exist. Again per WP:SMALLDETAILS, I've targeted it to Thoughtcrime, on the premise that someone using the lowercase c is more likely to be looking for the general concept, and thus propose that we keep this target.
    • Outcome: First retargeted. Second kept due to no consensus.
  2. Rajesh Hukku: nominated at AfD; notified 143.127.3.10 (talk · contribs) 20:37, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: The article has only one inline cite (well, really an external link titled "ref"); of the nine references listed, only two seem to be independent reliable sources: BusinessWeek (dead but archived here and Time (dead but archived here). Everything else is the sorts of awards that thousands of corporate execs win every year. Independent Googling doesn't establish anything beyond a few more brief write-ups. The article has a pretty solidly promotional tone, largely built around those awards and other touted accomplishments, and I just don't see the WP:SIGCOV we'd need in order to create a better article.
    • Outcome: Deleted.
  3. CSAI: nominated at RfD; Target: Catholic Scout Association in Israel (notified); notified Kintetsubuffalo (talk · contribs) 11:45, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: CSAI can refer to a number of things other than the Catholic Scout Association in Israel; that article does not actually list it as an acronym in use. Most of the things that CSAI stands for are non-notable companies or products, but one usage comes up in some fairly significant contexts: CSAI as short for child sexual abuse imagery, a less common variant of child sexual abuse material (the latter of which is mentioned in the lede at Child pornography). Most notably, Google uses the term in a number of contexts, particularly CSAI Match—a software used by a number of sites—and in this paper written in collaboration with the NCMEC. As such, I suggest that we retarget to Child pornography; a hatnote can be placed there if someone can find RS using "CSAI" for the scouting association.
    • Outcome: Disambiguated.
  4. Ajay Bahl: nominated at RfD; Target: B.A. Pass (notified); notified Inda19712003 (talk · contribs) 12:38, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Bahl also directed Section 375. While I'm not sure that there's enough about him for this to be a WP:REDLINK candidate, it's definitely an WP:XY situation. More generally, I'm not a huge fan of artist → work redirects, outside of WP:BIO1E cases. I don't think they usually help our readers find what they're looking for. Someone looking for B.A. Pass or Section 375 will presumably search the titles of those movies, not the director's name.
    • Outcome: Deleted.
  5. Campfire song song: nominated at RfD; Target: SpongeBob SquarePants (notified) 14:57, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
  6. Two redirects:
    1. 🛩: nominated at RfD; Target: Light aircraft (notified); notified NMaia (talk · contribs) 10:34, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
    2. 🛩️: nominated at RfD; Target: Airplane (notified); notified CALDlykLIJ (talk · contribs) 10:34, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
    3. 🛨: nominated at RfD; Target: Airplane
    • Reason: Both of these redirects have pointed to Airplane since their creations (in 2016 and 2017 respectively). A few days ago User:RobloxFan2021 retargeted the former to Light aircraft. The Unicode character does indeed appear to be defined as SMALL AIRPLANE, so I see their reasoning, but I disagree. I don't think that the average person using SMALL AIRPLANE has much sense of the fact that it's "SMALL AIRPLANE", and is more likely just looking for any airplane.See clarification below In fact, on my browser (Chrome on Windows 10), the two redirects show up identically in the URL and in the tab title (but differently in the body of the page). I propose that we re-synchronize to Airplane.
      So, nom clarification/correction:
      In my nomination statement, I incorrectly said that only the latter is "SMALL AIRPLANE". That was incorrect. These are both that symbol, just that the first might be a text symbol or emoji depending on how a browser interprets it, while the latter is supposed to always be an emoji. On that note, 🛩︎ is a valid character (currently a redlink), using selector 15 u+fe0e, which indicates that a symbol should always be rendered as text. In other words, Redirect #2 and that redlink are locked-in versions of the two ways that Redirect #1 can be rendered.
      I think I'm getting that right, at least. Sorry for the mix-up.
    • Outcome: re-synchronized
  7. Doofenshmirtz's schemes and inventions: nominated at RfD; Target: Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz (notified); notified Luisneri (talk · contribs) 09:39, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Was a WP:FANCRUFTy article for 10 minutes in 2011 before it was redirected (without, AFAICT, any content being merged elsewhere). Not a plausible search term, and pageviews are close to baseline. Doofenshmirtz already redirects to the article, and Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated redirects to the same section as this.
    • Outcome: Deleted.
  8. Deutschlandese Airways: nominated at RfD; Target: List of airlines of Germany 20:04, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
  9. Three redirects:
    1. Deutschland Airlines: nominated at RfD; Target: List of airlines of Germany (notified); notified Otis the Texan (talk · contribs) 20:13, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
    2. Deutschland Airways: nominated at RfD; Target: List of airlines of Germany 20:13, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
    3. Air Deutschland: nominated at RfD; Target: List of airlines of Germany 20:13, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Similar to the 2 at § Deutschlandese Airlines, but a slightly less implausible search term, so listing separately. These three were initially targeted to Lufthansa, but Rosguill retargeted them to List of airlines of Germany, which is a better target for sure, but I'm not convinced that any of these is a plausible search term. I would expect a mixed-language, title-cased title like any of these to, if it exists, refer to a specific company (or a DAB page of multiple companies). I think the most likely use case of someone searching for one of these terms is that they expect us to have an article with that title, not that they're trying to find a list of German airlines.
    • Outcome: Deleted
  10. Two redirects:
    1. Abigail Cowen (actress): nominated at RfD; Target: Fate: The Winx Saga 07:46, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
    2. Abigail Cowen(actress): nominated at RfD; Target: Fate: The Winx Saga; notified Yiwistar (talk · contribs) 07:46, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Added to: Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 June 24 § Abigail Cowen
    • Reason: Someone looking for an article on an actor is unlikely to be satisfied by an article on one show that they were in, especially when the search feature can provide a more holistic and dynamic set of possible pages, and especially when the article about the show has minimal content about the actor. (For the [second] redirect, there's the additional rationale of this being an implausible typo.)
      [After article Abigail Cowen was created] Retarget the first to Abigail Cowen as a very plausible {{r from unnecessary disambiguation}}; delete the second as an implausible typo.
    • Outcome: First retargeted. Second deleted.
  11. Fuck scholarship: nominated at RfD; Target: Fuck: Word Taboo and Protecting Our First Amendment Liberties (notified) 08:06, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: The target article does not refer to anything called a "Fuck scholarship" or that might be referred to as such. The closest is saying Government funding helped finance Fairman's scholarship. The book is an instance of scholarship on the word "fuck", but that doesn't make it a logical target. I suppose this could be retargeted to fuck, which discusses the academic study of that word, but I don't think "____ scholarship" is a very plausible search term in general, since that term is used more often to refer to scholarships.
      Google gives no relevant results for "fuck scholarship", six results (all of them porn) for "fuck scholarship" fairman, and zero for "fuck scholarship" "word taboo". Delete.
    • Outcome: Deleted
  12. Two redirects:
    1. Fuck paper: nominated at RfD; Target: Fuck: Word Taboo and Protecting Our First Amendment Liberties 08:19, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
    2. Fuck article: nominated at RfD; Target: Fuck: Word Taboo and Protecting Our First Amendment Liberties 08:20, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: The book was indeed based on a paper, and so Fuck (article) and Fuck (paper) are reasonable {{r from subtopic}}s, but I don't see the non-parenthetically-disambiguated forms as plausible search terms. I'm not sure what someone searching for "Fuck article" or "Fuck paper" is likely to be looking for, but I doubt it's this book.
    • Outcome: Both deleted
  13. Two redirects:
    1. Fuck (monograph): nominated at RfD; Target: Fuck: Word Taboo and Protecting Our First Amendment Liberties 08:24, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
    2. Fuck monograph: nominated at RfD; Target: Fuck: Word Taboo and Protecting Our First Amendment Liberties 08:24, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Unlike the article/paper nomination below, in this case the disambiguation is at least correct: Fuck: Word Taboo and Protecting Our First Amendment Liberties is indeed a monograph. That said, I don't see any reliable sources referring to is such, and there's lots of semi-obscure terms for a work that we could use as disambiguators but don't. Delete, more strongly in the case of the nonstandardly-formatted one.
    • Outcome: First kept due to no consensus. Second deleted.
  14. Fuck book: nominated at RfD; Target: Fuck: Word Taboo and Protecting Our First Amendment Liberties; notified WhisperToMe (talk · contribs) 08:31, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
  15. Template:Undelete: nominated at TfD; notified Vacuum (talk · contribs) 17:49, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Has barely ever been used, is formatted very strangely, and is not what I expected when I searched for this. Subst and redirect to Template:DRV links.
    • Outcome: Delete
  16. Three redirects:
    1. Trevor Williams, member of the Canadian national basketball team: nominated at RfD; Target: Trevor C. Williams (notified) 22:03, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
    2. Trevor C. Williams, former member of the Canadian national basketball team: nominated at RfD; Target: Trevor C. Williams 22:03, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
    3. Trevor C. Williams, former member of the Canadian national basketball team: nominated at RfD; Target: Trevor C. Williams 22:03, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: The first two of these were the title of Trevor C. Williams for the first few days of that article's existence, until the creator moved them to the current title. The third, weirdly enough, was for five months the title of Trevor Williams (basketball), now a redirect, which was created by the same person at the same time. 2006 was weird.
      None of these is a plausible search term. The first gets near-zero pageviews (33 since '15). The second gets a surprising number (381). The third, despite having been an article's title for five months, gets only 130. I think that we should delete the first as implausible, unused, and short lifespan as an article title; (weak) keep the second for pageviews despite implausibility and short lifespan; and delete the third as implausible and unused, despite longer lifespan as an article.
    • Outcome: All deleted.
  17. Three redirects:
    1. Atlanta Basketball Team: nominated at RfD; Target: Atlanta Hawks (notified); notified JailBrokenIPODGoneWild (talk · contribs) 03:01, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
    2. Atlanta Football Team: nominated at RfD; Target: Atlanta Falcons (notified); notified JailBrokenIPODGoneWild (talk · contribs) 03:01, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
    3. Atlanta Baseball Team: nominated at RfD; Target: Atlanta Braves (notified); notified JailBrokenIPODGoneWild (talk · contribs) 03:01, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: There is more than one team that each of these could refer to. Retarget football and basketball to Sports in Atlanta, which lists such teams. However, Atlanta Baseball Team is used as a euphemism for the MLB team that plays there, by people like me who prefer not to say its name, and also by several news outlets. Given that the only other baseball team listed at Sports in Atlanta is the Gwinnett Stripers, and affiliate of the other team, on balance I'd say keep baseball, optionally with hatnote to Sports in Atlanta.
  18. Two redirects:
    1. Baltimore Baseball Team: nominated at RfD; Target: Baltimore Orioles (notified) 05:15, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
    2. Baltimore Football Team: nominated at RfD; Target: Baltimore Ravens (notified) 05:15, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: There have been quite a few baseball and football teams based in Baltimore. Retarget to Sports in Baltimore.

July 2021[edit]

  1. School leavers: nominated at RfD; Target: Graduate (notified); notified Shruti14 (talk · contribs) 08:07, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: I had not heard this term before, but Collins says that it's the British equivalent of the American "high school graduates". High school graduate points to Secondary school, so I think this should too. School-leaving age is also of note, but seems broader-concept than may be wanted. (For whatever reason, only the plural form has been created here; if it hasn't been created by the end of this RfD, I'll create it and sync it with however this is closed.)
  2. Fernsehserien: nominated at RfD; Target: Television show (notified); notified Telecineguy (talk · contribs) 12:01, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: This is the German term for "television series," I gather. There is no particular affinity between the German language and the concept of television shows and thus, per WP:RLOTE, this should be deleted.
  3. Original television series: nominated at RfD; Target: Television show (notified); notified Marcinjeske (talk · contribs) 12:08, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: In 2008, this redirect's creator predicted that the target (then an article, now a section of a larger one) would eventually have some discussion of when series are "original". Well, it's been 13 years, and I don't think that's happened. "Original" can mean a few things in this context, including "creative", but the primary meaning of "original television series", I would think, is a series that has since been sequelled or remade, like Star Trek: The Original Series. The linked section acknowledges this concept in passing, but there's nothing really about what it means for a show to be "original". Given that original-ness is only relevant when there's been a sequel or remake, I currently lean toward retargeting to Remake#Television as an {{r from antonym}}, but I'll hold off on !voting till I see what others have to say.
  4. 🙏🏻: nominated at RfD; Target: List of gestures; notified Brandon The Science Guy (talk · contribs) 18:27, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
  5. 🙏🏼: nominated at RfD; Target: List of gestures 18:27, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
  6. 🙏🏽: nominated at RfD; Target: List of gestures 18:28, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
  7. 🙏🏾: nominated at RfD; Target: List of gestures 18:28, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
  8. 🙏🏿: nominated at RfD; Target: List of gestures 18:28, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
  9. Flogging frame: nominated at RfD; Target: Spanking (notified); notified Fastifex (talk · contribs) 07:30, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Has pointed to this target since 2005, when the article was, shall we say, uncomfortably detailed. There was no mention at the time, but one was added a few weeks later. The content that was once discussed so lavishly at that article is now mostly found (with less troubling wording) at Corporal punishment and Judicial corporal punishment. Flogging is a reasonable target given the name, but that article doesn't mention this term at all, nor does Caning (and it seems that flogging frames are today used more in caning than in flogging per se). The only article I find that does mention the term is Caning in Singapore, where it's mentioned in passing, but that seems too specific a target. Currently my thinking is that we should retarget to Corporal punishment, but I'm not sure yet.
  10. Will Cosby: nominated at RfD; Target: Bill Cosby (notified); notified UserTwoSix (talk · contribs) 07:52, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Unlike § Billy Cosby below, I don't see any usage of this even as a typo, although it's a bit harder to tell because "will" is also a verb. Still, generally I'd expect people to be more likely to overextend "Bill" to "Billy" than to mix up "Bill" and "Will" (which a surprising number of people don't even realize are short for the same name).
  11. Crotch grab: nominated at RfD; Target: Michael Jackson (notified); notified UserTwoSix (talk · contribs) 07:57, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
  12. Eddie Olosunde: nominated at RfD; Target: List of The Bill characters (notified); notified BlanketyBlank99999997 (talk · contribs) 03:39, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: The correct name, per the list and per Google results, is Eddie Olosunje. 'j' → 'd' as a typo gets only 6 GHits, and pageviews are ~10/year. Delete.
  13. Natasha Waller Cornett: nominated at RfD; Target: Natasha Cornett (notified); notified Chris473 (talk · contribs) 04:26, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
  14. Trill (The Legend of Zelda): nominated at RfD; Target: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (notified); notified Boleyn3 (talk · contribs) 04:39, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per the Zelda Wiki, there are two characters named Trill in the Zelda universe, the other being from Cadence of Hyrule. Neither is mentioned at the relevant article. I've not played either of the games in question, but judging from the profiles on these two characters [1][2] it does not look like either plays a significant role in their respective game's plot. Between the low status and WP:XY, I say delete. Another option would be to retarget to Trill § Fictional entities (which currently links to this redirect) and mention the Cadence of Hyrule Trill there as well, with links pointing to the two games' articles.
  15. SquatForChange: nominated at RfD; Target: Squatting position (notified); notified Penbat (talk · contribs) 07:27, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Hashtag that had a brief flurry of media coverage in 2018, no longer mentioned at target article. Even when it was mentioned, it was just two sentences (one of them a copyvio from the cited Times article). SquatForChange still exists as a non-profit, and there may be room for a mention of them if Changing table were expanded to say a lot more about access advocacy, but barring a mention there, delete.
  16. Squat for change: nominated at RfD; Target: Squatting position 07:27, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
  17. Squat for change movement: nominated at RfD; Target: Squatting position 07:27, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
  18. Squatforchange: nominated at RfD; Target: Squatting position 07:28, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
  19. 2021 building collapse: nominated at RfD; Target: 2021 condo collapse (notified); notified UserTwoSix (talk · contribs) 09:19, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
  20. 2021 condo collapse: nominated at RfD; Target: Surfside condominium building collapse; notified UserTwoSix (talk · contribs) 09:26, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: While a less ambiguous search term than 2021 building collapse (and thus listed separately), there are still three other shared residences listed under 2021 at List of structural failures and collapses#2020–present. I'm not sure if any would meet the definition of a "condominium building"—a term mostly used in the U.S.—but it's similar enough that I feel that these search terms are too ambiguous and should be retargeted to that list.
  21. 2021 condominium building collapse: nominated at RfD; Target: Surfside condominium building collapse; notified JailBrokenIPODGoneWild (talk · contribs) 09:27, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
  22. Poncho Libre: nominated at RfD; Target: Nacho Libre (notified); notified UserTwoSix (talk · contribs) 09:32, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
  23. End this war: nominated at RfD; Target: Perpetual war (notified); notified UserTwoSix (talk · contribs) 09:38, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Google shows that this has been used as the title of a number of non-notable works, and someone searching for one of them is likely to be surprised by this redirect. Even if it's a phrase worth targeting to some concept, I don't think there's a clear primary target—could be the current one, could be anti-war movement or a specific subset of it, could be the war to end war. Was created with the summary "pun?"; if there is a pun here, I'm missing it.
  24. Global warring: nominated at AfD; notified UserTwoSix (talk · contribs) 09:46, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
  25. Florida building collapse: nominated at RfD; Target: Surfside condominium building collapse; notified JorgeLaArdilla (talk · contribs) 09:58, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Ambiguous. There are eight other building collapses in Florida listed at List of structural failures and collapses. We could retarget to that page, but since the information isn't collated by location, I think it would make more sense to just delete.
  26. Miami building collapse: nominated at RfD; Target: Surfside condominium building collapse; notified Sk5893 (talk · contribs) 10:02, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
  27. Miami tower collapse: nominated at RfD; Target: Surfside condominium building collapse; notified UpdateNerd (talk · contribs) 10:09, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: WP:XY situation: Could also refer to the WCIX TV Tower collapse in 1992. Since neither tower is actually in Miami, I think deletion makes more sense than targeting one or the other or DABbing.
  28. Effective power: nominated at RfD; Target: Alternating current (notified); notified 213.253.40.156 (talk · contribs) 12:54, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Google results suggest that this term is primarily used in the context of the "effective power" bug. The term "effective power" is never used verbatim at the current target, although a few similar terms are. I propose that we retarget to SpringBoard#"effective power" bug, with hatnote to current target.
  29. User:Drummyfish/child: nominated at MfD; notified Drummyfish (talk · contribs) 05:53, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: I'm going to AGF that this refers to paraphilic infantilism and not to anything that would trigger policy concerns. That said, the combination of "as a child" (rather than something more kink-specific like "as a little"), which is a common refrain in some pro-pedophilia rhetoric, and of an image of pedobear, clearly could give the impression that this userbox is an endorsement of pedophilia.
  30. Cargo film: nominated at RfD; Target: Cargo (2017 film) (notified); notified LaceyUF (talk · contribs) 12:01, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Nonstandard disambiguation format. More plausibly would be a search term for someone looking for a film about the concept of cargo, or who thinks there's some genre of this name, or perhaps is looking for these documentary producers. Delete, although if kept this should definitely be retargeted to Cargo (disambiguation)#Films, like Cargo (film).
  31. Platform film: nominated at RfD; Target: The Platform (film) (notified); notified LaceyUF (talk · contribs) 12:09, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Nonstandard disambiguation format. As with below, sounds more like a kind of film than a particular film; "platform" can have a number of meanings in a media context. I suggest we delete, but if kept this should be retargeted to Platform#Arts, like Platform (film).
  32. Template:R from related concept: nominated at RfD; Target: Template:R from related word (notified); notified SMcCandlish (talk · contribs) 20:02, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

August 2021[edit]

  1. 2022 in American music: nominated at RfD; Target: Category:2022 in music (notified); notified HappyAppy10 (talk · contribs) 08:04, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: There's no subcategory on American music (contrast Category:2021 in American music), meaning that this is only helpful to readers if they're willing to browse through the subcategories and guess which pages are about the U.S. It might be reasonable for 2022 in music (currently a redlink) to redirect here, but even there that seems like it would run afoul of WP:REDLINK. Lots of concert dates, album releases, etc., have been announced for 2022. And in my opinion XNRs to categoryspace should be reserved for cases where there's no chance of an article ever existing.
  2. The Hundred (cricket): nominated at RM; New name: The Hundred 05:54, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Procedural filing based on Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 August 9 § The Hundred.
      Grvlx100 says there (bracketed insertion for clarity):

      There is only one reason anyone would spell out and search the phrase 'The Hundred' on Wikipedia and that's for the cricket competition. The other pages [at The 100] all involve the number and it feels that the redirect is unnecessary.

      Pinging:
      * Joseph2302, who !voted keep at RfD with comment

      Most of the links at The 100 are valid for being spelt out- causal reader wouldn't know if they're spelt as 100 or Hundred in the name. I don't believe that most people will be looking for the "cricket" tournament.

      , which I think should be read as a keep in this context as well
      * Jay, who !voted (in the context of the redirect)

      Disambig with entries The 100 (TV series), The Hundred (cricket) (and probably The One Hundred (band)) with cricket as primary.

      * Darorcilmir, whose comment there I read as supporting a move:

      Agree that The Hundred now refers only to the cricket competition and nothing else - because nothing else uses this specific formatting. It therefore needs its own main entry, with all other instances listed on disambig page, and a hatnote on the main page.

      * Zerosumnet and Mdewman6, who commented but did not !vote.

  3. Osama Lutfi: nominated at RfD; Target: Britney Spears; notified Save-Me-Oprah (talk · contribs) 18:41, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
  4. User:Kartano/Userboxes/SexualExperimentation: nominated at MfD; notified Kartano (talk · contribs) 18:35, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per WP:NOTDATINGSERVICE, "User pages that move beyond broad expressions of sexual orientation are unacceptable." In its no-parameters version, I think this userbox just barely passes that standard. However, it's only transcluded in one place, User:Kartano, where the following "activities" are included: specifically stag & vixen, threesomes, foursomes, voyeur, soft swapping, hard swapping, adult sex clubs, sex toys, erotica, DP, DVP, BDSM, homemade pornography. Those activities bring it past the line set by NOTDATINGSERVICE, and I think really any activities list would. Delete or remove activities parameter.
  5. User:Kartano/Userboxes/SexlessMarriage: nominated at MfD; notified Kartano (talk · contribs) 18:41, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: I don't think that someone's marital issues are reasonably related to building an encyclopedia, and broadly stating "but wants to change that!" alongside a term that is often associated with a sense of entitlement to sex[] and the endorsement of violence against women leaves a rather unsavory implication, even if unintentionally. Delete.
  6. Reactions to the 2021 Fall of Kabul: nominated at AfD; notified NHCLS (talk · contribs) 15:47, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Wikipedia is not news and not an indiscriminate collection of information. Articles like these tend to get made when people start putting a bunch of generic reactions into the article on a news event, and at a certain point someone forks them off into their own article to avoid bogging down the main article. Which is preferable to leaving them in the main article, but I don't see what benefit an article like this has to our readers. Fall of Kabul (2021) § Reactions and § Refugees cover the most important aspects. There isn't any particular encyclopedic relevance to the fact that Finland has evacuated its diplomats or that Brazil has expressed concern. Basically every country in the world has the same response to this: "That's bad. We're evacuating our people," with an optional "And maybe we'll take a few refugees," and a fork like this just creates a few dozen items in need of update in a few months/years when editors have stopped paying attention to this page. I don't see a way where this evolves past a bunch of press releases (or uncritical news write-ups of those press releases) to in-depth coverage of the various countries' reactions.
      (Also, if kept, this should be moved to Reactions to the 2021 fall of Kabul, per my points at Talk:Fall of Kabul (2021) regarding capitalization.)
  7. Consent (BDSM): nominated at RM; New name: Consent in BDSM 00:27, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: The parenthetically-qualified syntax implies that consent is a distinct phrase or concept in BDSM compared to other contexts. The article does not bear that out, and rather begins with "consent within BDSM", later defining the term as "an explicit agreement to acts, terms and conditions"—the same definition as applies in non-BDSM contexts.
      To avoid the erroneous implication that consent in BDSM is distinct from consent in general, we should move to Consent in BDSM, which is a more natural title anyways.
  8. Paid advocacy: nominated at RfD; Target: Conflict-of-interest editing on Wikipedia; notified WikiWikiWayne (talk · contribs) 22:08, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: See related nomination below. Procedural nomination to keep these on the same day; still thinking about how to !vote. Not going to nominate Paid advocacy on wikipedia, per Hog Farm's points below.
  9. Bloody vagina: nominated at RfD; Target: Menstruation (notified) 22:56, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: If this is going to point to something, it should be Vaginal bleeding, a broader topic than menstruation. That said, this doesn't strike me as a very plausible search term, and it can be used to refer to other things, most notably (and tastelessly) a cocktail. Weak delete, second choice retarget.
  10. Zappa's band: nominated at RfD; Target: The Mothers of Invention (notified) 23:02, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per the article on him, Frank Zappa was in a number of bands. While none was nearly as notable as the Mothers of Invention, it's still inaccurate to call that definitively "Zappa's band". Judging from Google results, this does not appear to be a case where the term is used as a nickname or alias for the band either. Delete or retarget to Frank Zappa.
  11. Osborne's band: nominated at RfD; Target: Black Sabbath (notified) 23:06, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: "Osborne" here is a misspelling of Osbourne, as in Ozzy Osbourne. However, even with the correct spelling this would meet criteria for deletion: Osbourne has performed with a number of bands, and if anything "Osbourne's band" would more likely perform to any of his backing bands as a solo artist over the years.
  12. Climate accords: nominated at RfD; Target: Paris Agreement (notified) 23:10, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Could also refer to the Copenhagen Accord or the Marrakech Accords, probably among others. I could see a case for a DAB page, but my inclination is delete and let the search results handle it.
  13. Afghan withdrawal: nominated at RfD; Target: Withdrawal of United States troops from Afghanistan (2020–2021) (notified) 23:14, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Could refer to any number of withdrawals from Afghanistan throughout history, including those of various International Security Assistance Force members since 2010. Better to let the search results handle it, I think.
  14. Cat-sized: nominated at RfD; Target: Cat (notified) 23:15, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Both an implausible search term and an unhelpful target. (That a cat is cat-sized is trivial.)
  15. AR^: nominated at RfD; Target: IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (notified) 23:18, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: I came close to requesting R1 speedy deletion on this, but I'll grant that if someone's holding the shift key for "AR" they might fail to release it in time for "6" and, on a standard QWERTY, wind up with this. That said, I think maintaining redirects like this for every letter-number combination would be quite WP:COSTLY, and don't think it's something we should get in the habit of.
  16. Latter Day Saints: nominated at RfD; Target: Latter Day Saint movement (notified); notified BoNoMoJo (old) (talk · contribs) 17:27, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
  17. Erzalmaniq Fawy Rawi: nominated at AfD; notified Michaeltt (talk · contribs) 19:58, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
  18. Hot chips: nominated at RfD; Target: French fries (notified); notified UserTwoSix (talk · contribs) 20:15, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: There's an ENGVAR issue here: the British/Irish/most-of-the-Commonwealth "chip" means what Americans and Canadians call french fries, while the American/Canadian "chip" means what people from the other group of countries call crisps. Chips/french fries are normally served hot. But many potato chip/crisp companies make some sort of "hot chip", "hot" meaning "spicy", similar to Flamin' Hot Cheetos.
      Potato chip has surprisingly little content about flavors of potato chip and none about hot/spicy flavors, so weak retarget there (or to its § Flavoring) as an {{r without mention}}, but also open to a WP:REDLINK argument.
      Noting also the existence of Hot Chip (a band) and Hot Chips (a symposium).

September 2021[edit]

  1. Template:Prix Versailles: nominated at TfD; notified Pantell (talk · contribs) 03:14, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
  2. Cybex: nominated at AfD; notified Devlerr (talk · contribs) 20:39, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Previously redirected to Cybex International, an apparently unrelated exercise equipment company. All of the news coverage I can find is either product reviews or passing mentions of their products. I don't see any coverage of the company qua company, and the statements in the article about employees and turnover (which regardless don't establish notability) are unsourced. Revert to redirect. (If kept, this should probably still be moved to something like Cybex (child safety product manufacturer), restoring the redirect but leaving a hatnote at the other Cybex.)
  3. Harry Thompson (Hollyoaks): nominated at AfD; notified 108.20.174.38 (talk · contribs) 20:56, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: There's been two rounds of edit-warring in the psat few weeks as to whether there should be an article at this title or not, with DarkGlow, Cjquines10, and Polyamorph opposed and 108.20.174.38 (the author) the only one in favor. Per WP:BLAR, best to take this here and get a formal consensus. I submit that this is WP:FANCRUFT, maybe appropriate for a fan wiki but not for Wikipedia. If there is a case for an article, I think WP:TNT would still apply since almost all of the content is in-universe information. Restore redirect.
  4. User:The owner of all: nominated at MfD; notified The owner of all (talk · contribs) 20:05, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: TOA recently added a painfully blatant bit of WP:GRAVEDANCING to their userpage celebrating the retirement of MjolnirPants, against whom they had pursued a vendetta for months. There is no other way to read their invocation of "Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead", especially given that they have since attempted to tag OhForFuqsSake as a sock of MP, despite instructions at the relevant SPI to not do so
      When Tryptofish inquired with TOA as to the meaning of this reference, they replied, I also have the right of privacy such that I am not required to explain events in my private life in order to satisfy your (and/or the unspecified "others") desire for information.
      They're right. They're not required to explain themself. Likewise none of us is required to treat WP:AGF as a suicide pact and suffer such trolling. As TOA is apparently unwilling to remove the content, we should mandate its removal as a gravedancing WP:POLEMIC. Honestly I think this is borderline WP:G10.
  5. Lamenter: nominated at RfD; Target: Mourner (notified); notified Zzyxzaa26 (talk · contribs) 04:51, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Piggybacking off of the Lamenters RfD below, I think this points to too narrow a target. The article Lament documents a number of nuanced meanings, not just the act of being a mourner. I think it would be best to retarget to Lament, as is standard for derived parts of speech.
  6. Template:User SPI Clerk: nominated at TfD; notified Ebe123 (talk · contribs) 17:05, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Please see WT:SPI/C#Is Template:SPI empty report in use?; no one on the clerk team can quite figure out what this was for, or why it has a nontrivial history despite having no transclusions and not being the kind of template you'd subst, but everyone seems to agree it's no longer in use, if it ever was.
  7. Template:User:BoldLuis/tlxl: nominated at RfD; Target: User:BoldLuis/tlxl (notified); notified Pppery (talk · contribs) 22:15, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Left over from move to the right namespace. Since it redirects to a title that is the same minus the Template: prefix, deleting it will do nothing, as anything transcluding {{User:BoldLuis/tlxl}} will now transclude that userpage rather than this template that redirects to that userpage.
  8. Template:User:BoldLuis/tlxl/doc: nominated at RfD; Target: User:BoldLuis/tlxl/doc 22:16, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
  9. Template:User:BracketBot/inform: nominated at RfD; Target: User:BracketBot/inform (notified); notified JPaestpreornJeolhlna (talk · contribs) 22:20, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Same rationale as below: Transclusion markup will have the exact same effect if this is deleted, and this avoids a potentially confusing XNR.
  10. Template:User:Destroyeraa/Editwar: nominated at RfD; Target: User:Destroyeraa/Editwar (notified); notified Pppery (talk · contribs) 22:23, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Same as below, transclusion markup would have the same effect if this is deleted.
  11. NyLon (concept): nominated at RM; New name: NyLon 08:39, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: I do not see any indication that any of the other terms at Nylon (disambiguation) are frequently referred to in PascalCase. Per WP:DIFFCAPS, we should drop the qualifier from this title and just say "NyLon".
  12. Mavy Legaspi: nominated at RfD; Target: Carmina Villarroel (notified); notified Clipred (talk · contribs) 03:49, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: These are the names/nicknames of the children of the subject. I have removed those names from the target article per WP:BLPNAME, since there is no indication that their names are relevant to readers' understanding of the subject. While the names do live on in the title of a reference, I don't think that's enough of a mention to warrant redirects. Delete both.
  13. Cassy Legaspi: nominated at RfD; Target: Carmina Villarroel; notified Clipred (talk · contribs) 03:49, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

October 2021[edit]

  1. The Wikipedia Library: nominated at RfD; Target: Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library 18:54, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
  2. Ꜵ: nominated at RfD; Target: List of Latin-script letters (notified); notified StringTheory11 (talk · contribs) 06:05, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
  3. Ꜵ (former Unicode lowercase): nominated at RfD; Target: Ligature (writing) (notified); notified Gioguch (talk · contribs) 06:05, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
  4. Template:Row numbers: nominated at TfD; notified Trappist the monk (talk · contribs) 16:22, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: This template outputs a block of unparsed code for any users of the mobile apps. See here for an example of what that looks like. 150 million pageviews per month come via the mobile app. It's a small percentage overall, but... well, inferring (from other data) an average of 50 pageviews per user per month, that's 3 million people we're serving jumbled nonsense to. It's one thing to have a template that works imperfectly on the mobile app, but I don't think it's okay for us to be transcluding on 84 articles a template that renders their core content unreadable.
      I understand that this template provides useful functionality. Thus, until T203293 is resolved, I would propose the following solution: Delete once someone codes a bot to do this. With a bot task, an editor could place something like <!-- Row numbers START --> and <!-- Row numbers END--> around a table, and then make a null template like {{numbered column}} to signal a column that the bot would update after any addition or removal of a row.
      To be clear, if the above is unfeasible or undesirable, I would strongly favor outright deletion over outright keeping.
      I'll note that I've looked into whether {{if mobile}} would be viable here, but I'm fairly sure it wouldn't be, because it could only remove the wrapping template, not the syntax within the template.
  5. James while John had a better effect on the teacher: nominated at RfD; Target: James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher (notified); notified EthanGaming7640 (talk · contribs) 15:38, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: This may be, per its creator's edit summary, a "shorter title", but that's because it strips away the thing that makes the phrase notable: all the "had"s. That would be fine if this were an abbreviation that people use, but that does not appear to be the case. This is essentially a shortcut title, which we don't do in mainspace.

November 2021[edit]

  1. Trois-Pistoles (disambiguation): nominated at AfD; notified Mindmatrix (talk · contribs) 22:32, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
  2. CA-SCR-177: Oldest Human Settlement in Scotts Valley, Central California: nominated at RfD; Target: CA-SCR-177 (notified); notified A diehard editor (talk · contribs) 21:11, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: {{r from move}} from an implausible title, moved after only 6 days. The subtitle only appears in mirrors. Pageviews already dying down. (Any page in the NewPagesFeed will always be getting some.) Delete as implausible.
  3. Faculty of computer science and information system: nominated at RfD; Target: University of Technology Malaysia; notified Faiezjb (talk · contribs) 21:40, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
  4. Template:Libel: nominated at TfD; notified Ipatrol (talk · contribs) 23:12, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: This user warning message was created in 2008 and has been used seven times since. I became aware of it today when an LTA with a very long memory used it in a bit of trolling. If there's somewhere good to redirect this to, I wouldn't object—{{uw-defamatory1}} would make sense, perhaps, but is intended for the opposite purpose—but otherwise I think deletion is in order. The template's current wording is not a reflection of current attitudes toward libel accusations, which are sensitive enough that a custom message is almost always needed. It neither gives good advice (if a user is already complaining on-wiki, why direct them to VRT instead?) nor strikes a good tone for dealing with someone who feels wrong (attempting to assert a defensive legal position on behalf of the Foundation).
  5. Eel on Musk: nominated at RfD; Target: Elon Musk (notified); notified CactiStaccingCrane (talk · contribs) 02:44, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Part of me was tempted to just R3 this, and another part of me was tempted to mark it as reviewed, so I come here instead without having firmly made my mind up. It's a meme with some currency but is far from widespread. It doesn't seem to refer to anything other than Elon Musk, so I'm not sure its existence is all too harmful. But on the other hand, it would be costly for us to maintain redirects for every silly variant of every public figure's name, not to mention getting into complicated BLP territory at times. I come down leaning deletion, simply on the basis that anyone searching this will already know who Elon Musk is, and thus can search his name spelled correctly after finding nothing at this title. (Half-joke/half-typo Eelon Musk doesn't exist but probably should.)

December 2021[edit]

  1. Wikipedia:FindDPLA.js: nominated at MfD; notified Ocaasi (talk · contribs) 22:01, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Unclear purpose, does not appear to be used anywhere. Creator did not respond to my inquiry as to what it's for.

January 2022[edit]

  1. Michael Jackson (musican): nominated at RfD; Target: Michael Jackson (notified) 08:01, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Typo that would perhaps be plausible in the main part of the title, but becomes implausible within a disambiguator. 98 pageviews in the 2 years since creation, which is very few considering that the target page got 620,000 in the past month. (Consider further that Michael Jackson (musician) didn't exist till I just created it.) I think we can safely delete.
      N.B.: Not notifying the redirect's creator, per his statements at past RfDs that he is retired.

  2. First letter of the alphabet: nominated at RfD; Target: A (notified); notified Lallint (talk · contribs) 21:24, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
  3. Francium fluoride: nominated at AfD; notified PlanetStar (talk · contribs) 00:02, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Procedural nomination. PRODded and then BLAR'd shortly after creation in 2008. Restored by consensus at RfD just now, with agreement to take to AfD. Courtesy pings @Mdewman6, 1234qwer1234qwer4, Lenticel, and Thryduulf. I'll ping IP65 the old-fashioned way.
  4. Sandrembi Chaisra: nominated at AfD 08:01, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: I am neutral, filing as closer of this RfD, where I found consensus to revert Rosguill's BLAR of 22 January 2020 and send to AfD instead. Rosguill's BLAR rationale was

      Doesn't seem to meet GNG and is very confusingly written, redirecting to Meetei folklore which mentions the story

      to which AFreshStart objected on the basis that Sandrembi Chaisra is not mentioned there.
      Courtesy pings to all RfD !voters: @Lenticel, Aervanath, Uanfala, SnowFire, and Mdewman6:
  5. Disputed territories (West Bank and Gaza Strip): nominated at RfD; Target: Palestinian territories 22:29, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
  6. Cold war (general term): nominated at RM; New name: Cold war (term) 00:56, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: There's no need to say "general" here. This is the only article on enwiki that uses the disambiguator "general term", while 29 use just "term". I don't see why this should be any different. (N.B.: This is a somewhat unusual case where WP:DIFFCAPS has not been invoked [Cold war → Cold War], but I agree with that status quo. DIFFCAPS is ill-suited for cases where the only difference is the first letter of the second word in a two-word phrase, where many readers won't make a distinction between capitalizing or not capitalizing that letter.)
  7. Steve Brule: nominated at RfD; Target: Steve Brûlé (notified); notified Selket (talk · contribs) 12:47, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: I typed this in expecting to be taken to Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule, and was surprised to be taken here instead. According to WikiNav, 72 out of 177 people to read this article in November clicked the link in the hatnote, while there wasn't a single link in the body of the article that more than 10 people clicked. Considering that only 66 people viewed this redirect that month, that strongly suggests that ~100% of people visiting Steve Brule were looking for the show about him. Furthermore, even if we didn't have this pageview information, this is a WP:SMALLDETAILS situation. Thus retarget with hatnote to current target.
  8. Help:Ref: nominated at RfD; Target: Help:Footnotes (notified); notified Phoenix-forgotten (talk · contribs) 23:08, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: I linked to H:REF expecting it to take me to a help page on references, and, when I went to go create the redirect, was surprised to see there's no consensus on what help page to target. This is a mixed-target conflict going back over a decade, but I don't give much weight to age or pageviews, since all of the targets except Help:Reference point to content on the same topic, and in many cases people may have linked one of these without actually looking at where they point to. As such, I think we should take readers to the broadest target available. I think Help:Reference is suboptimal but it gets decent pageviews and would be a significant substantive change in target topic, so probably better left untouched; but I've included it for the sake of completeness. So: Weak keep Help:Reference, synchronize rest at Help:Footnotes as broadest target available, but I think syncing at Help:Referencing for beginners or Wikipedia:Inline citations (target of WP:REF and WP:REFS) would be reasonable too.
  9. Help:Refs: nominated at RfD; Target: Help:Introduction to referencing with Wiki Markup/1 (notified) 23:08, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
  10. Help:Reference: nominated at RfD; Target: Wikipedia:Reference desk (notified) 23:08, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

  13. Jane Granger: nominated at RfD; Target: Hermione Granger (notified); notified WhisperToMe (talk · contribs) 04:35, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: According to the target article, Hermione's middle name is "Jean", but apparently there's been some confusion over Jane vs. Jean over the years, so I don't object to Hermione Jane Granger. However, I don't see any indication that Hermione is ever referred to by just her middle and last names, be that as "Jane" or as "Jean". (Jean Granger is a redlink.)
  14. Hermy: nominated at RfD; Target: Hermione Granger (notified); notified Spartaz (talk · contribs) 04:46, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Both a Google search and an on-wiki one suggest that this term is rarely used to refer to Hermione Granger, and frequently used to refer to a number of other entities, including Hermann Görring in Addie and Hermy and a character created by Stan Sakai. We could write a DAB, but I'm skeptical of that when we don't have any direct title matches. I favor deletion; the search results can take the lead instead.
  15. Banque de la Compagnie Financière de Suez: nominated at RfD; Target: Suez (company, 2015) (notified); notified Aymatth2 (talk · contribs) 06:48, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
  16. Compagnie Financière de Suez: nominated at RfD; Target: Suez (company, 2015) (notified); notified Aymatth2 (talk · contribs) 07:24, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

  18. Eugene Goodman (disambiguation): nominated at AfD; notified PrairieKid (talk · contribs) 03:07, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: PrairieKid created this in February after moving Eugene Goodman to Eugene Goodman (businessman) around when Eugene Goodman (police officer) received the Congressional Gold Medal. At the time, the two Goodmans were getting roughly equal pageviews. A year later, it's 2,000:1 in the police officer's favor, and 100% of clicks were going his way from the DAB, so I've BOLDly moved his article to be the primary landing page. That leaves this DAB as a ONEOTHER (or, one-and-a-half other, with a "see also" to Gene Goodman). I've added hatnotes to both of those from the police officer's article, which I think renders this DAB superfluous.
  19. Lanzas: nominated at AfD; notified Zigzig20s (talk · contribs) 21:35, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: After the deletion of Irma Lanzas, this SIA has only one entry. Normally I would just redirect to that entry, Joaquín María del Castillo y Lanzas, but Lanzas was del Castillo's maternal surname and thus not a name he would be normally called by. Given that not all of our readers know how Spanish surnames work, Lanzas may still be a plausible search term for him, but it might also be a plausible search term for someone looking for a list of people with the surname Lanza. So I suggest that we redirect to Lanza and include Joaquín María del Castillo y Lanzas in "See also". But I could also see a case for just deleting and let the search results handle it.

    • Reason: I've created Front toward enemy and FRONT TOWARD ENEMY as {{r from quotation}}s to M18 Claymore mine, a device on which this inscription famously appears. As both the originator of the phrase and the subject of the lion's share of Google search results, I think it's the clear primary topic. However, the existing Front Toward Enemy points to an episode list entry in The Punisher (season 1). Since the term appears on all caps on the mines, and could reasonably be rendered in title case just as well as sentence case, I think WP:DIFFCAPS does not apply here, and that we should synchronize all three at M18 Claymore mine, with hatnote to the Punisher list entry. I am nominating the two redirects I created as well, in case anyone wants to argue that they instead should be retargeted.

  26. Template:Editnotices/Page/Dandelion Program: nominated at TfD; notified Sdkb (talk · contribs) 15:19, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Subject article was BLAR'd a few days ago by Firefly. Could be moved to Template:Editnotices/Page/DXC Technology to match the BLARing, but accessibility-related content takes up only a small portion of that article, so I don't think this editnotice would be justified there.

    • Reason: Both articles were merged to List of terrorist incidents in 2017 by TompaDompa a year and a half ago. If desired, one of these could be moved to become an editnotice for that page, but I don't think that's really necessary now. It's 2022[citation needed] and people are mostly done edit-warring over what was or wasn't terrorism a whole five years ago.

  41. Jon Hubbard: nominated at AfD 07:35, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: I created this DAB in 2012 (the first content page I created, I think!) after moving the previous subject of the page to John Hubbard (British politician). Initially it just DAB'd him and John Hubbard (American politician); Boleyn subsequently added Jonathan Hatch Hubbard, and a few months later she successfully PRODded the British politician's article, leaving the page with just these two.
      In other words, this is a series of reasonable edits that has left us with a DAB that I don't think I would have created for just these two. While Jon is sometimes a nickname for Jonathan, I don't see any evidence that Jonathan Hatch Hubbard went by it. So the primary topic for "Jon Hubbard" would seem to be the American politician. I think the better approach here would be to delete the dab, move the American politician's article to this title, and hatnote his article to Jonathan Hatch Hubbard and John Hubbard (disambiguation).

  1. WikiProject:Micronations: nominated at RfD; Target: Wikipedia:WikiProject Micronations (notified); notified AWESOMEDUDE0614 (talk · contribs) 07:58, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
  2. Civil court: nominated at RfD; Target: Lawsuit (notified); notified Gtrmp (talk · contribs) 11:16, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Civil courts do much more than hear lawsuits. I recall that when I changed my name there were something like 30 options on the form, and only one 2 or 3 involved lawsuits. An article that explains that fairly well, if too briefly, is Civil law (common law). I think it would be better to retarget there. The other concern with this redirect is that it could be ambiguous with a court operating under Civil law (legal system), but the proposed target links to the DAB Civil law, so I think that handles that.
  3. Mario Cerrito: nominated at AfD; notified Penandpencil2021 (talk · contribs) 13:23, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Deleted through AfD in 2014 and 2016, and the subject of a long-running sockpuppetry campaign to recreate. Current incarnation was created by what is almost certainly a UPE throwaway account, which has already had two other articles deleted as promotional (1 · 2). This looks very strongly like someone having gotten sick of not being able to evade SPI and paying someone else to do it for them, but sadly I can't prove that to a high enough degree of confidence to justify a G5 under WP:MEAT, and the text is sufficiently different to preclude G4, so here we are.
      Cerrito has directed two films that we have articles on, Deadly Gamble and Human Hibachi. However, notability is not inherited, and the bulk of this article is promotionally-toned content about those films and his other works. The only non-inherited SIGCOV in the article are two local-news puff pieces and some mentions from when he was on an episode of Ghost Nation. The only other coverage I find in a BEFORE search is some news coverage from a time he witnessed a suicide.
      While he is closer to notable now than he was in 2016, I still don't think he meets the bar, and urge deletion. Note: If this article is deleted, the title should be re-salted, as should the most recent salt-hack, Mario Cerrito III.
  4. Russian invasion of Ukraine: nominated at RfD; Target: 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine (notified); notified Samian (talk · contribs) 17:09, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: This redirected to Russo-Ukrainian War until I retargeted it in January to Invasion of Ukraine, a SIA I have since turned into the list List of invasions and occupations of Ukraine. NorsemanII has seen fit to edit-war with me by retargeting to 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine despite me twice saying to take it to RfD, so I'll do what they lacked the decency to (without conceding that their actions are procedurally valid; if I were a more spiteful person I would have brought this to ANEW rather than here).
      I propose to restore previous target (List of invasions and occupations of Ukraine) and restore hatnote at 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The fact that this redirect previously pointed to two different Russian invasions of Ukraine (2014 Crimean crisis at creation, Russian invasion of Ukraine (2014) (which became Russo-Ukrainian War after that) should be evidence enough that this is ambiguous. It's not even unambiguous within the current conflict: As the list documents, Russian forces have been described as invading Ukraine twice in this war: Donbas in 2014 in the early phases of the War in Donbas, and (as characterized by some sources) Crimea a few months before that. Furthermore, the whole war has been characterized as an invasion, something I learned when cleaning up links to this redirect after I targeted it. Multiple articles referred to the whole war as the "Russian invasion of Ukraine". Furthermore, Russian forces from the Soviet Union twice invaded Ukraine in the 1910s, again as documented in the list.
      I appreciate that the 2022 invasion is the most currently relevant one, but I'm not aware of any occasion in the past that that's been used to justify redirecting to a non-primary topic. See WP:RECENTISM.
      I would not hugely object to refining this to List of invasions and occupations of Ukraine#Russo-Ukrainian War, although that would skip past the 1910s invasions (sort of a semantic question of whether "Russian" here means "by Russia" or "by Russians").
      Some procedural notes:
      * Russian invasion of the Ukraine bundled as an {{avoided double redirect}}.
      * Whatever the outcome here, redirects like Russian invasion of Donbas should probably be created to match it.
      * Whatever the outcome here, can we try to get this done in 24-72 hours? This is an incredibly high-visibility redirect and I think some deviation from standard procedure is justified.

March 2022[edit]

  1. Statehood movement in the District of Columbia: nominated at RM; New name: District of Columbia statehood movement 00:42, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: The D.C. article was moved from District of Columbia statehood movement in 2018 by IVORK, acting on a technical request from an IP with summary "Consistent with Statehood movement in Puerto Rico". That article had itself been moved from Puerto Rico statehood movement without edit summary by Ahnoneemoos in 2012. I think that in 2018 the IP went in the wrong direction, and that, rather, it's the Puerto Rico article that should have been brought (back) in line with the D.C. one.
      There does not seem to be a COMMONNAME for the movement for statehood in D.C. or the movement for statehood in Puerto Rico, and I assume that's why descriptive titles have been favored. However, there is a COMMONNAME for the concept of statehood in these places as well: ["D.C. statehood", or more formally "District of Columbia statehood" in D.C. https://statehood.dc.gov/page/dc-statehood-in-the-news], and "Puerto Rico statehood" or "Puerto Rican statehood" in Puerto Rico. Those are the terms widely used by adovocacy groups, opponents, and the newsmedia.
      It would be preferable to build these descriptive titles around existing COMMONNAMEs, and thus I suggest restoring the titles of "District of Columbia statehood movement" and "Puerto Rico statehood movement", which simply add "movement" to the end of established names for the relevant concepts.
  2. S/b/:Hydropolis: nominated at RfD; Target: Hydropolis (notified); notified Ricky81682 (talk · contribs) 01:18, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: This is the result of a pagemove from a nonsensical title four minutes after the page was created in 2005. Sixteen years later, I do not think it serves any purpose. It gets some pageviews, but enough to give cause to believe that any humans are deliberately navigating to this redirect. Given the existence of S/b/:Ralston Bowles as well, I asked Graham87 if he was aware of any old MediaWiki things that could explain how these two pages were created, and he was as stumped as me.
  3. S/b/:Ralston Bowles: nominated at RfD; Target: Ralston Bowles (notified) 01:18, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Another weird "s/b/:" one (see Special:Permalink/1076220363#s/b/:). If created today, this would be an A10. Jamie7687, in redirecting it, said this redirect should probably be deleted. Well, 16 years later, let's make that happen.
  4. 2005 Britannica takeover of Wikimedia: nominated at RfD; Target: Wikipedia:2005 Britannica takeover of Wikimedia (notified); notified Vinegarymass911 (talk · contribs) 04:16, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Cross-namespace redirect to a humor page. Its appearance in the search bar, Special:AllPages, etc., as a mainspace page is actively misleading, as it implies that this is a thing that happened, or might have happened, or at least an encyclopedically notable hoax. N.B.: This page has been deleted five times before, but never by a consensus discussion.
  5. Canned edit summary: nominated at RfD; Target: Wikipedia:Canned edit summaries (notified); notified Mr. Guye (talk · contribs) 04:33, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: This XNR's creator left the summary Not likely to be searched by readers, which I'll recycle as its RfD rationale.
  6. ASPERSIONS: nominated at RfD; Target: Wikipedia:Casting aspersions (notified); notified Krinkle (talk · contribs) 04:35, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Created with the summary ix broken link. I can only assume that someone somewhere had linked to this instead of WP:ASPERSIONS, but that's not a good reason to create an XNR. This could just be retargeted to Aspersion, but I generally disfavor all-caps redirects where there's no reason to think our readers would be expecting all-caps, per WP:COSTLY, hence I'd prefer to delete.
  7. Paulo Correa: nominated at RfD; Target: Wikipedia:Criticisms (notified); notified Tgeorgescu (talk · contribs) 04:39, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: A section in a poorly-maintained, poorly-formatted projectspace page quoting some (unsourced!) mean things this person said about Wikipedia is not a good usage of a cross-namespace redirect, and in fact poses serious BLP concerns.
  8. Q Wiki Club: nominated at RfD; Target: Wikipedia:GLAM/State Library of Queensland/QWiki Club 2017 (notified); notified JarrahTree (talk · contribs) 04:45, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: This XNR related to a GLAM program may have served some benefit when it was created, but isn't of any use now that the club is (apparently) no more.
  9. Ukraine Wikiproject: nominated at RfD; Target: Wikipedia:WikiProject Ukraine (notified) 05:16, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: This is the only WikiProject cross-namespace shortcut of the format "X Wikiproject" or "X WikiProject". As that link shows, XNRs to WikiProjects are quite rare to begin with. Any "Wikiproject:" or "WikiProject:" pseudonamespace has been conclusively ruled out by past RfDs (see documentation here), and I think "X Wikiproject" or "X WikiProject" should be treated the same, as the alternative would be opening the door to thousands of such XNRs.
  10. Porn Project: nominated at RfD; Target: Wikipedia:WikiProject Pornography (notified) 05:20, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
  11. Wine cats: nominated at RfD; Target: Wikipedia:WikiProject Wine/Category tree (notified); notified Agne27 (talk · contribs) 05:24, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Fear not, my last of the day. "Wine cats" could refer to a number of things, such as this book. It's surprising for this combination of two common words to instead link to an obscure projectspace subpage. No backlinks, low pageviews, and of course no way to know if readers visiting this link found what they were looking for.
  12. P:TUVALU: nominated at RfD; Target: Wikipedia:WikiProject Tuvalu (notified); notified Aridd (talk · contribs) 09:39, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per WP:SHORTCUT, "P:" pseudonamespace redirects are meant for portals, not WikiProjects. Suggest retarget to Portal:Tuvalu.
  13. TP:TI: nominated at RfD; Target: Template:Top icon (notified); notified Lemondoge (talk · contribs) 09:45, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Unused pseudo-namespace shortcut, the only of its kind. While "T:" is a valid pseudonamespace for limited purposes (probably not including this) per WP:PNS and WP:SHORTCUT, there is no consensus for a "TP" pseudonamespace, and there's been an understanding for quite some time that no new pseudonamespaces should be created.
  14. Russian Fiasco: nominated at RfD; Target: 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine (notified); notified LionMans Account (talk · contribs) 10:16, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: This phrase is not used at the target, and has been used in a variety of contexts, including in this journal article on the First Chechen War. Even with the huge weight of current events and my Ukraine-heavy search history influencing the results, Google's first page doesn't give me a single thing on the current fiasco, instead reaching as far back as the Russian Civil War.
  15. Raj Kumar (processor): nominated at RfD; Target: Raj Kumar (professor) (notified) 17:30, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: This is borderline G6 as unambiguously created in error, but it's been around a few years so I thought better to take it here. Moved from "neurosurgeon" to "processor" 4:38, 29 January 2019. Moved from "processor" to "professor" 4:39, 29 January 2019. Clearly not a plausible disambiguator, as Mr. Kumar is not any of the things that might be referred to as a processor.
  16. Military journalist: nominated at RfD; Target: Military journalism in the United States (notified); notified TheFeds (talk · contribs) 01:16, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: I just linked the former of these titles from List of journalists killed covering the Russo-Ukrainian War to describe a Ukrainian journalist, and learned that such the link will be misleading due to its current target. There is definitely room for an article about military journalism worldwide, so suggest deletion of both per WP:REDYES, to encourage creation of an article (probably at the latter title).
  17. Military journalism: nominated at RfD; Target: Military journalism in the United States; notified Apokrif (talk · contribs) 01:17, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
  18. Olympic medalist: nominated at RfD; Target: Olympic medal (notified); notified Violetriga (talk · contribs) 07:21, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: This is an {{r from move}}, the move's rationale having been The article is primarily about the medal itself. 11 years later, that's even more true: The vast majority of the article is about the physical medal and its trappings, with the word "medalist" only appearing once. I suggest a retarget to Lists of Olympic medalists, to which Olympic medalists already points.
  19. Nelson Burton(bowler): nominated at RfD; Target: Nelson Burton Sr. (notified) 03:20, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Typo in disambiguator corrected 3 hours after article's creation. Negligible pageviews since. Suggest deletion as with most malformatted disambiguators.
  20. ZS(company): nominated at RfD; Target: ZS Associates (notified); notified Rdspencer10 (talk · contribs) 06:18, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Implausible typo with negligible pageview. Unusually, for this sort, created de novo, not an r from move.
  21. LDS(automobile): nominated at RfD; Target: LDS (automobile) (notified) 06:25, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Bit of a weird case. This was a copy-paste of the creator's own article [3] [4]—not an attempt at a cut-and-paste move, just a copy. Redirected 12 hours later, and judging from pageviews is not relied upon by anyone.
  22. Tradewinds: nominated at RfD; Target: Trade winds (notified) 05:38, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: If Tradewind is ambiguous—which has been the editorial consensus since 2006—then I think Tradewinds is as well. There's good reason to think that a reader spelling the term this way is looking for one of the eight entities called "Tradewinds" we disambiguate (or the one called TradeWinds), rather than for the concept of trade winds, usually spelled as two words. Thus I think we should retarget to Tradewind.
  23. Baksı: nominated at RfD; Target: Shamanism (notified); notified Hattusili (talk · contribs) 20:29, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Baksı is the Turkish word (see tr:Baksı) for bakshy. As that's an obviously more precise target than the current one, I was going to boldly retarget there, but I noticed that the bakshy article doesn't mention Turkey at all, and, while there's certainly a cultural connection between these two Turkic countries, I'm not sure that's enough of an affinity to justify an RLOTE. Baksı Museum, however, does spell it that way, so I lean toward retargeting there with hatnote back to Bakshy and the DAB at Bakshi; doing it in the opposite direction would be reasonable too.
      I'm bundling Baksi, created by Eubot as an avoided double redirect, because its fate can't be disentangled from Baksı's. Since its creation, the article Baksi (surname) has been created. Per WP:SMALLDETAILS, I think the best approach would be to move Baksi (surname) over the redirect and disambiguate as needed via hatnote. As a second choice, I would support matching wherever Baksı winds up pointing.
  24. Baksi: nominated at RfD; Target: Shamanism 20:29, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
  25. 'hood: nominated at RfD; Target: Hood (notified); notified Parable1991 (talk · contribs) 22:45, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: I think these both point to the wrong place. The only thing at the Hood DAB referred to as "'hood" is a neighborhood. The only thing there referred to as "'Hood", at least when using sentence case (and often even in title case) is 'Hood (film). Thus retarget 'hood to Neighborhood and move 'Hood (film) to 'Hood, with hatnotes both ways. But I think reasonable cases could also be made for pointing both to the DAB or pointing both to Neighborhood.

  3. Oblique striped pufferfish: nominated at RfD; Target: Takifugu plagiocellatus (notified) 22:50, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: These were the result of two unexplained pagemoves by a newer user—pagemoves that I will AGF on not being deliberate hoaxing, but which neither Plantdrew nor I have been able to verify as names for this species of pufferfish. After I reverted the moves based on an RM/TR request from Plantdrew, we agreed to wait a month to see if pageviews dropped off, and they indeed have, removing the only potential reason to keep these redirec. They should be deleted as supposed alternate names that fail verification.

May 2022[edit]

  1. Wikipedia:CAT:CSD: nominated at RfD; Target: Category:Candidates for speedy deletion (notified) 10:51, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per its talkpage, created in 2004 to work around a bug that was fixed in 2006. 188 views in the pageviews.wmfcloud.org epoch, only 6 last year; the talkpage is the second result when you search CAT:CSD, so perhaps a few people per year share my curiosity as to why WIkipedia talk:CAT:CSD exists at all. Note that, despite the breadth of bz710/phab:2710, this is the only page beginning with Wikipedia:CAT:.
  2. Mikhail Morozov: nominated at RfD; Target: Morozov (notified); notified Ezhiki (talk · contribs) 11:52, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Created in 2006, when the DAB had three redlinks on it for people named Mikhail Morozov. Those redlinks were subsequently removed from the DAB though, and there are no Mikhail Morozovs at Morozov (surname). Thus this should be deleted as misleading.
  3. Bananus: nominated at RfD; Target: Banana (notified); notified UserTwoSix (talk · contribs) 21:50, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
  4. American peasant: nominated at RfD; Target: Working class in the United States (notified); notified UserTwoSix (talk · contribs) 21:56, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: A peasant is a pre-industrial agricultural laborer or a farmer with limited land-ownership, especially one living in the Middle Ages under feudalism and paying rent, tax, fees, or services to a landlord. While this could arguably apply to certain working arrangements in very rural parts of the country, such a conclusion would be WP:OR; the word "peasant" appears nowhere at the target article.
  5. Drip Drip Drop: nominated at RfD; Target: Bambi (notified); notified UserTwoSix (talk · contribs) 22:00, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Apparently this is the opening line of the second track listed, "Little April Shower". To me what comes to mind first is Duck, duck, goose § Drip, Drip, Drop, the only thing referred to in the encyclopedia's voice as "drip drip drop". I would suggest a retarget there (indifferent as to hatnoting back), second choice deletion and let the search results handle it.
  6. Private information: nominated at RfD; Target: Personal data (notified); notified Nickst (talk · contribs) 02:58, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not all personal information is private, or expected to be. Meanwhile there's much information that is private but not PII. I would suggest a retarget to Privacy with hatnote to the current target, Secrecy, and the film Private Information. The Secrecy article itself could also be a viable target, though.

    • Reason: After the hyphen variant was deleted at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 June 7 § Dave Cummings ((pornographic actor)), AnomieBOT recreated it as a variant of the en-dash title. I was going to just delete the en-dash one in the spirit of the previous RfD, but then I noticed that it's an {{r from move}}, so I guess this should have a second RfD. Pageviews on the en-dash one were weirdly high for a while, but have dropped off since 2019; on the hyphen one, they've been consistently high, but I assume that's due to the link at Martin Mere, which I've just removed. So I think both are safe to delete. Also we should block AnomieBOT for edit-warring.[Joke]

July 2022[edit]

  1. Discrimination against transgender women: nominated at RfD; Target: Trans woman; notified Jarble (talk · contribs) 21:05, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
  2. University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication: nominated at AfD; notified Mradi (talk · contribs) 00:38, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Procedural nomination as closer of Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 June 27 § University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication, where I found consensus to restore the article and send it to AfD; I am neutral. Article was originally redirected in February 2019 by Drmies with rationale

      there is no proof that this school is independently notable--a few references don't make that point. alumni are already at List of University of Oregon alumni, and note that the list here didn't separate faculty and alumni

      Three years of back-and-forth BLARing and restoring has ensued, with Drmies, Mccapra, Orangemike, Viewmont Viking, and Spf121188 favoring redirection; and Zdemars, Oregonian20, and Nmkru favoring an article. The Grid also spoke in favor of redirection at the RfD. Arguments for inclusion have included

      Notability was substantiated in the talk section, quoted here: "The School of Journalism and Communication is notable. It is over 100 years old and was one of the original 34 schools to be accredited by the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication. It has thousands of students and has created 15 Pulitzer Prize Winners as well as other notable alumni."

      from Oregonian20 and

      I’m an alum of the University of Oregon, and the UO School of Journalism and Communication is relevant in the industry. There are far smaller schools represented on this platform, and the school has a 100+-year history. It's also one of the oldest schools of journalism and communication in the nation and one of the first to be accredited.

      from Nmkru.
  3. Blake Fitzgerald: nominated at RfD; Target: Blake Fitzpatrick (notified) 06:23, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: This was created under the wrong title. In May, I moved it to the correct title based on a request by Animalparty, and resolved to wait a bit to see if pageviews dropped off, before RfDing. The incorrect title got all of 4 views in the month after the move, and 0 in the second month, so I think it can be safely deleted.

August 2022[edit]

  1. They/Them: nominated at RM; New name: They/Them (film) 22:40, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: The logic for this title is, I assume, one of WP:DIFFCAPS, but I don't think that applies here. Considering the canonical examples in the policy, ice cube and iron maiden are consistently capitalized as lowercase. There are, however, no consistent capitalization norms for listing one's pronouns. One sees "they/them", "They/them", and "They/Them" alike. Examples of people who describe their pronouns as "They/Them" include Mauree Turner [7], David Morgan (comedian) [8] (in the middle of a normally-capitalized sentence), and Temmie Ovwasa [9] (ditto). LinkedIn's three default sets of pronouns are "She/Her", "He/Him", and "They/Them".
      Given that "They/Them" is a reasonably common variant of "they/them" (unlike "Ice Cube" for "ice cube"), this article should be moved to They/Them (film) and the redirect should be retargeted to Singular they as an {{avoided double redirect}} of they/them.
  2. Patrick Constable: nominated at AfD; notified Lugnuts (talk · contribs) 07:09, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: This BLP's subject has submitted a WP:BLPDELETEREQUEST at ticket:2022080910002407. He does not meet the revised WP:NOLYMPIC guidelines, and, even if he could otherwise be shown to be notable as an athlete, would only be marginally so. As such I think his request should be honored.
  3. Talk:Love jihad/Conspiracy theory: nominated at MfD; notified FDW777 (talk · contribs) 09:17, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: This subpage was created as a result of Talk:Love jihad/Archive 3 § Subpage creation. It is intended as a forum exclusively for discussing whether love jihad is a conspiracy theory (thus de facto for complaints from people who disagree with the article's characterization of it as such). I've raised my objections to this at Talk:Love jihad § Please refer conspiracy theory comments to discussion subpage (permalink), and been told that expressing concerns is disruptive, so I bring this here for review instead. A subpage like this is a bad idea for three reasons:
      # If content is too disruptive to be included on the main talk page, it is too disruptive to be included on a subpage. Wikipedia does not have holding pens for disruptive editing.
      # This subpage has nine watchers. The parent talkpage has 218. This is problematic both because vandalism and disruption is much more likely to go unnoticed here—see Special:PageHistory/Talk:Maryland/North (Mid-Atlantic State) vs South (Southern State) for what this page's future may hold—and because it removes most stakeholders from discussion: People who watchlist an article expect to get watchlist updates for discussions about it. They will not be aware of discussions on the subpage, and no "consensus" on the subpage could ever be binding.
      # Editors here to push a love jihad POV are not in fact the kind of people who tend to listen to banner notices saying they need to do that POV-pushing on a different page. So this page largely goes ignored by the people it's intended to corral.
      As I've explained at the parent talkpage, there are a variety of remedies available to handle disruptive edit requests on talkpages for controversial articles, and plenty of talkpages, such as Talk:2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and (of late) Talk:Recession, are able to handle things using those remedies without resorting to this non-solution. This subpage should be deleted. (It could be first archived to the parent page's current archive if desired, but there's not much to preserve.)
  4. CORPSE: nominated at RfD; Target: Corpse Husband (notified); notified AistisXD (talk · contribs) 01:48, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: I don't see an indication in the target article, nor at [10], that the subject's name is frequently stylized as "CORPSE". Even if it were, Corpse would be a more natural target. But since that is a common noun with no affinity to an all-caps rendering, I think better to delete.
  5. User:Fat&Happy/Userbox/CSA ancestry: nominated at MfD; notified Fat&Happy (talk · contribs) 15:50, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Same issue as at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Aerobird/CSA Citizen Userbox: Not even the ambiguity of the "Southern culture" excuse, by explicitly associating users with the CSA itself, an entity built to perpetuate the systemic enslavement, rape, and murder of Black people. There's lots of ways to show Southern pride that don't involve supporting that.

September 2022[edit]

  1. Morbius (Film): nominated at RfD; Target: Morbius (film) (notified); notified AistisXD (talk · contribs) 01:26, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per longstanding consensus against miscapitalized disambiguators.
  2. Birds flying high, You know how I Feel: nominated at RfD; Target: Feeling Good (notified); notified AistisXD (talk · contribs) 01:28, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: The miscapitalization of two words makes this implausible. I would have no objection to a correctly-capitalized Birds flying high, you know how I feel, although targeted to the full article, not just the Bublé section.
  3. Queen's Speech: nominated at RfD; Target: Speech from the throne (notified); notified Morwen (talk · contribs) 14:53, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: I don't see why these two are unambiguous if King's speech and King's Speech aren't. The first four entries at the DAB are all ambiguous under a queen as well. I would suggest we retarget to King's speech; would also be open to the converse move, moving King's speech to King's speech (disambiguation) and retargeting the two king titles to Speech from the throne. If anyone's interested in doing it that way, please tag King's Speech and leave a note at Talk:King's speech. (Stray thought, probably best answered at WT:RfD: Should there be a "This DAB is implicated by an ongoing RfD" template?)
  4. Queen's speech: nominated at RfD; Target: Speech from the throne; notified Formeruser-81 (talk · contribs) 14:54, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
  5. Jewishness of Jesus: nominated at RfD; Target: Race and appearance of Jesus (notified) 15:18, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
  6. Jessie Irene Noblett: nominated at RfD; Target: Irene Ryan (notified); notified John Cline (talk · contribs) 23:51, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Until today, the target article claimed that Ryan's birth name was Jessie Irene Noblitt; it in the past very briefly said Noblett, while DAB Noblett linked to redlink Jessie Irene Noblitt till today. Also today, I removed the "Jessie" claim after determining it fails verification, and (kinda) sorted out the ambiguity of Ryan's maiden name having been spelled three different ways by reliable sources.
      "Jessie Irene Noblett" appears in a number of non-RSes, and sometimes that's reason to keep an incorrect redirect, but in this case it has pretty low pageviews, so I would say on balance the better thing is to delete this and avoid misleading readers who might see it in the search bar.
  7. Proprietary saftware: nominated at RfD; Target: Proprietary software (notified); notified MCGAMER YOUTUBE (talk · contribs) 20:55, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: One of a number of questionable {{r from misspelling}}s created by this user. I was going to R3 it as I have with some others by them, but apparently "Saftware" is Scots for software (or might be; CiphriusKane, any thoughts?). So I guess I'll bring it here as an RLOTE with no affinity to the other language.
  8. Aqd': nominated at RfD; Target: Islamic economics (notified); notified Sarsuru (talk · contribs) 08:46, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: A misspelling of 'aqd, in turn an ASCII-only transliteration of عقود (ʿaqd). Neither 'aqd nor ʿaqd exists, and none of these three spellings can be found at the current target. Those terms should probably stay red under WP:REDYES, as contracts under Islamic law are a notable topic that currently do not get focused coverage in any article or section I see. However, even with ʿaqd blue, I think this would be an implausible misspelling, so delete for any combination of unmentioned, REDYES, and implausible. N.B.: This was an article for less than 5 hours in 2009; it would stand a snowball's chance in Hell of surviving AfD, so I think restoring would be needlessly bureaucratic.
  9. Template:R from codename: nominated at RfD; Target: Template:R from former name (notified); notified Dsuke1998AEOS (talk · contribs) 09:21, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

  12. Glaucomflecken: nominated at RfD; Target: Glaucoma (notified) 13:16, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: I couldn't make up my mind where to target this redirect, so I created it just to bring it here (arbitrarily picking one of the two options for now). Either this should point to Glaucoma § Signs and symptoms as an {{avoided double redirect|Glaukomflecken}} + {{r from misspelling}}, or it should point to Dr. Glaucomflecken as an {{r from short name}}. On the one hand, WP:SMALLDETAILS would tend toward the latter, since the former is always(?) spelled with a k. On the other hand, Dr. Glaucomflecken's name is not generally abbreviated to just his fictional surname, so one could argue that someone searching just this word is more likely misspelling the glaucoma symptom. Thoughts? Again, the current target was an arbitrary choice, and for now I am undecided.
  13. Chris Chan (disambiguation): nominated at AfD; notified Screendeemer (talk · contribs) 01:39, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Simple enough: Neither of these people is called "Chris Chan", at least not according to their articles (one of which I'll note the creator wrote just to have an excuse to create this DAB), and thus both fail MOS:DABMENTION. The obvious ulterior motive here, as noted, was to get around longstanding consensus at Talk:Kiwi Farms that the prose of that article should not mention an individual known by the nickname "Chris Chan". There have furthermore been multiple consensuses at AN and one at DRV to not have any article on Chris Chan. On that basis, I have removed the "see also" to Kiwi Farms—but besides, a "see also" doesn't count toward a DAB page being useful or not; it's an extra little thing for not-quite-ambiguous titles. This is pure gaming the system, and this DAB page does not in any way benefit the encyclopedia. (If Chris Chan → Chris Chann [the page the DAB's creator wrote] is a plausible redirect, that can be decided separately.)
      As a housekeeping note, if there is consensus to keep this, the closing admin should move this to the salted title Chris Chan, as there is no need for the "(disambiguation)" here when there's no article at that title.
  14. Virgin with rage: nominated at RfD; Target: Incel (notified); notified Screendeemer (talk · contribs) 05:56, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-neutral term that is not mentioned at target.
  15. Wikipedia’s Wikipedia article: nominated at RfD; Target: Wikipedia (notified); notified Screendeemer (talk · contribs) 06:03, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: The article Wikipedia is not about the article Wikipedia. Such an article would be titled something like Wikipedia (Wikipedia article). To my knowledge, we only have one Wikipedia article about a Wikipedia article: Jar'Edo Wens hoax. Perhaps someday we will have a Wikipedia article about the Wikipedia article Wikipedia, but until then, a redirect like Wikipedia’s Wikipedia article is inappropriate for Wikipedia. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 06:03, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

October 2022[edit]

  1. Kathleen Hammond: nominated at RfD; Target: Kathy Hammond (notified); notified Ipigott (talk · contribs) 10:09, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per target article, Kathy Hammond's full first name is Kathryn, not Kathleen. There are a few Kathleen Hammonds who are at least little-n notable, like this academic and this book reviewer [11] [12], the latter of whom is who I was looking for when I came upon this redirect. Suggest deleting as misleading.
  2. Square up: nominated at RfD; Target: Square Up (EP) (notified); notified Bdj (talk · contribs) 05:00, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Previously pointed to Square-up; suggest reverting both to that as a clear WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. I recognize a potential WP:DIFFCAPS aregument for the uppercase variant, but I'm generally opposed to splitting a pair of two-word redirects based only on the capitalization of the first letter of the second word. If there's consensus against retargeting Square Up, then Square Up (EP) should be moved there per a request made by 2600:1700:9DD0:8FD0:4933:3749:3F94:549C at WP:RM/TR, which I challenged in favor of this RfD.
  3. Square Up: nominated at RfD; Target: Square Up (EP) (notified); notified CrunchySkies (talk · contribs) 05:01, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
  4. Pink Friday II: Roman Reloaded (The Sequel): nominated at RfD; Target: Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded – The Re-Up (notified) 15:32, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Pink Friday II Roman Reloaded appears to be occasionally used (although without the colon), and is the kind of redirect I personally would not create but also would not RfD. However, none of those nine hits contain a colon, and more importantly the parenthetical does not appear anywhere (if ostensibly part of the title) or is nonstandard as a disambiguator (if intended that way). Created by a user with a history of hoaxing, but I think falls shy of G3.
  5. Salaam: nominated at RM; New name: Salaam (disambiguation) 05:42, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: This seems like a pretty clear case of WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. Keeping in mind that The fact that an article has a different title is not a factor in determining whether a topic is primary, "Salaam" primarily refers to the greeting used by Muslims and others, which we discuss at the article As-salamu alaykum. WikiNav shows that page as 3:1 ahead of the next-most-clicked entry, despite the fact that it was not linked as prominently as it should have been until a few days ago. We should move to Salaam (disambiguation) and retarget the redirect to As-salamu alaykum.
  6. Silence = Death: nominated at RM; New name: Silence = Death (film) 23:24, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Given that the film's title and VHS cover are both references to the iconic Silence=Death Project poster, I think this is a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT situation. This is borne out by the lion's share of Google results for "silence=death", all about the poster or the group that created it, not about the film. And I don't see room for WP:SMALLDETAILS disambiguation here (which would entail retargeting [[:]] but keeping this), as the spacing around the equals sign in reference to the poster and its creators is not consistent in RS. [13] [14]
      I propose a move to Silence = Death (film) and a retarget of the resulting redirect to Silence=Death Project.
  7. List of presidential libraries: nominated at RM; New name: Presidential library 01:36, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: HolmKønøman moved Presidential library to Presidential library system back in June, which I think was a good move. This article was previously at Presidential library (disambiguation), but I moved it to this title when I rewrote it as a SIA, since a SIA shouldn't be at a "(disambiguation)" title. But given that presidential libraries are a concept that exist outside of the United States—including "Presidential Library" being the name of the largest library in Turkey, a country of 83 million people—I think it would make more sense to move this to the primary landing page of Presidential library. The list's first entry will still ably direct people to the current target.

  12. Triple Jeopardy!: nominated at RfD; Target: Jeopardy! (notified); notified Qwerfjkl (talk · contribs) 02:25, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Was created as a redirect to Celebrity Jeopardy! (2022 TV series), but shortly thereafter retargeted to the current target by 123.51.107.94, referencing their comment (as 175.39.61.121):

      Shouldn't they redirect to Jeopardy!#Gameplay? Because the second part of the game is "Double Jeopardy", I've often heard the first part called "Single Jeopardy", and it's reasonable that someone would think of Final Jeopardy as "Triple Jeopardy". Double Jeopardy! already redirects to Jeopardy!#Gameplay. The proposed target is definitely not a good target for these redirects.

      I disagree with that logic. Triple Jeopardy! is a thing on Celebrity Jeopardy!, whereas on regular Jeopardy! it could only refer to a misnomer for Final Jeopardy! Even if that's a misnomer that comes up at all (and no evidence has been presented that it is), a correct usage should almost always trump an incorrect usage. Revert to the original target.
  13. Jim Kelly (athlete): nominated at AfD; notified Lugnuts (talk · contribs) 08:41, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: I PRODded this, and Guliolopez found some more sources and de-PRODded, which I'm grateful for, because I think that, as edited, this does merit a full discussion. But what it comes down to is: Three sources give between two and three different names for this person, depending how you count it. They are all very very common names in Ireland (in fact, my great-great-uncle was also a John/Sean Kelly). All Wikipedia articles need to be verifiable, and there's just no way to write a verifiable article on someone named either Jim Kelly or John Kelly and/or Sean Kelly when we have very little other information on him. Notability-wise, this is an WP:NOLYMPIC fail, and a GNG fail for the same reasons it's a V fail.
  14. U-Line Corporation: nominated at AfD; notified Zmeyer40 (talk · contribs) 05:49, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: This is a straightforward G11 speedy, entirely sourced to the company's own self-promotional media but for a single sentence sourced to this routine coverage of a transaction. Despite the fact that there is no time limit on G11, and despite the fact that there have only been a combined 13 words added [15] [16] since the article's creation in 2008, G11 was declined. So here we are. Delete as unsalvageably promotional. I don't see SIGCOV, but even if there's an article to be written here, this isn't it. Companies don't get a free pass on spamming just because they fly under the radar for 14 years, and it's a shame we'll now have to spend volunteer time on re-establishing what the community has already reached consensus on in the form of the CSD policy.

November 2022[edit]

  1. Guancha.cn: nominated at RM; New name: Guancha 04:46, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: At Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 July 6 § Guancha, a number of editors, including myself, voiced the opinion that this news site is the primary topic for Guancha, but the decision was deferred since there was at the time no article on the news site. Now that The Account 2 has kindly created this article, it's worth revisiting that question. Guancha is one of five syonyms for Clathrina, while Guancha.cn is an influential news site in a country of a billion people. Per [17], "Guancha.cn", "Guancha.com", "Guancha", and "Guancha News" are all used to refer to the site; in addition to having an apparent slight numerical advantage, Guancha is the most concise. Thus we should move Guancha.cn there and move Guancha to Guancha (disambiguation). My second choice would be to move the DAB and then retarget Guancha to Guancha.cn.

    • Reason: I think this is a WP:DIFFCAPS situation. The primary meaning of "whet", capitalized thusly, is a synonym for "sharpen". I suggest we retarget to Sharpening stone (target of Whetstone), with hatnotes on both that page and the current target. The hatnote at Sharpening stone could potentially also link to wikt:whet.
  4. Sorbonne: nominated at RM; New name: Sorbonne (building) 08:11, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: The word "Sorbonne" in English since 1970 overwhelmingly refers to Sorbonne University (a.k.a "the Sorbonne" or "la Sorbonne"). While it is true that the Sorbonne University's name derives from the building, being the original sense of a word does not automatically confer PTOPIC status; cf. Watergate (redirects to Watergate scandal, not Watergate complex). When I Google "Sorbonne", it takes me till the second page to see a single result about the building, the fourth page to see a second one. Every link I've spotchecked in WhatLinksHere intends Sorbonne University or, if in a pre-1970 context, the University of Paris; but never the building. This should be moved to Sorbonne (building) and the redirect should be retargeted to Sorbonne University (or, second choice, Sorbonne (disambiguation) should be moved over the redirect).
      I'll note that the article does have one section that's not about the building, § Sorbonne name dispute. Move or no move, that should either be split off into its own article or merged with Sorbonne University Association into something like Successors to the University of Paris, as it is not within this article's stated scope.
  5. Gray Poupon: nominated at RM; New name: Gray Poupon (album) 13:52, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: I think this may be the rare case where a misspelled sense is the primary topic over a correctly spelled one. Google Search, Google News, and Twitter search (for a splash of vernacular usage) all suggest that the primary usage of "Gray Poupon" is as a misspelling of "Grey Poupon", with this fairly obscure album from 2011 being a distinctly secondary usage. This is unsurprising, given that Grey Poupon is popular in the United States, where "gray" is the prevailing spelling when that word is used as a common noun. Suggest move to Gray Poupon (album) and retarget redirect to Grey Poupon.

  8. Template:Tunisia governorates ranking navbox: nominated at TfD; notified Bestofmed (talk · contribs) 11:53, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Navbox that previously linked to four redundant lists, all of which I have now redirected to Governorates of Tunisia, orphaning it.
  9. Tranbjerg (parish of Årre): nominated at AfD; notified EliFrandsen (talk · contribs) 00:36, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: After a fair amount of digging, the best I can say about this article (created as an account's only edits in 2007, and only touched since to clear up confusion with Tranbjerg J) is that it's not an outright hoax. The one linked reference (archive) gives no coördinates, but gives the JOG number NN32-02, and Gazetteer of Denmark and the Faroe Islands: Names Approved by the United States Board on Geographic Names does record a Tranbjerg with that JOG number near Årre. However, Danish Wikipedia has nothing on this Tranbjerg, and Google yields only one relevant result that I can find: about the Tranbjerg Østergaard farm, at almost the exact coördinates given in the gazetteer. So I think this is one of those cases where one database got mixed up about whether something was a settlement or not, and that error propagated a little bit. But, whatever is in Tranbjerg, farmhouse or village, there does not seem to be enough verifiable information to support a Wikipedia article.
  10. Density (energy or power): nominated at AfD; notified Sylvainremy (talk · contribs) 04:54, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Disambiguation page that doesn't seem to disambiguate any plausible search term. Energy density was already listed at Density (disambiguation), and I've added the other two there as well. And Power density has a hatnote to Surface power density. If this were a plausible search term I might just redirect to the main DAB, but I don't think it's something anyone would type in naturally; pageviews are likely from search suggestions.

  3. Anti-Masonry/archive: nominated at RfD; Target: Anti-Masonry (notified); notified Error (talk · contribs) 05:33, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Was split from Freemasonry in March of 2003 and merged back in July of 2005, only for a new Anti-Masonry to be written in October 2005, at least some of which seems to have been taken from Freemasonry. Suggest histmerge without redirect, discarding the 5 edits that postdate July '05.
  4. Brian O'Conner/archive: nominated at RfD; Target: Brian O'Conner (notified) 05:40, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

  9. Birchville/Comments: nominated at RfD; Target: Birchville (notified); notified Cameron Dewe (talk · contribs) 09:08, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: A different flavor of mainspace-page-for-talk-subpage, using the old /Comments subpage system. Delete for same reason we've deleted /Archive mainspace pages.
  10. Noam Chomsky/Comments from Chomsky: nominated at RfD; Target: Noam Chomsky (notified) 09:09, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Another mainspace redirect made to match a talk subpage.
  11. Guancha (disambiguation): nominated at AfD; notified King Richard (talk · contribs) 21:14, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: After the news site Guancha was made the primary topic in Talk:Guancha § Requested move 3 November 2022, this has become a WP:ONEOTHER DAB, or maybe one-and-a-half-other since there's the see also to La Guancha (disambiguation). This page has an unusually long history for a brief DAB—an AfD, an RfD, and the RM—but I think it may have now outlived its necessity. Disambiguation can be handled with a hatnote at Guancha: {{about|the news site|the genus of sea sponge|Clathrina{{!}}''Clathrina''||La Guancha (disambiguation){{!}}La Guancha}}.
  12. The New York Times (disambiguation): nominated at AfD; notified Werldwayd (talk · contribs) 00:39, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
  13. Adriano (footballer, born 1982): nominated at RfD; Target: Adriano (footballer, born February 1982) (notified); notified MB (talk · contribs) 10:17, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: This is a result of a move by MB a year ago, on the basis that Adriano (footballer, born January 1982) and Adriano (footballer, born April 1982) both exist. I was going to retarget this to Adriano § Brazilian footballers, as I usually do when someone has moved a page for ambiguity but not retargeted the redirect, but couldn't help but notice the massive pageview disparity between the February Adriano and the January and April ones. WP:INCOMPDAB says In individual cases consensus may determine that a parenthetically disambiguated title that is still ambiguous has a primary topic, but the threshold for identifying a primary topic for such titles is higher than for a title without parenthetical disambiguation. Is this such a case? If so, the move should be reversed. If not, the redirect should be retargeted to the DAB section.
  14. 'zine: nominated at RfD; Target: Fanzine (notified) 20:45, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: I don't see any reason to think that the presence of an apostrophe makes this exclusively an abbreviation for fanzine, rather than an alternate spelling of zine. Dictionary.com, based on Random House, has them as synonymous. (It then says both are abbreviations of fanzine, but I think that's because most sources don't consider zine and fanzine as distinct topics, and I'm not entirely convinced we should; but that's beyond RfD's scope.) So as long as Zine and Fanzine are distinct articles, we should retarget to Zine.
  15. Pilk: nominated at RfD; Target: Pepsi (notified); notified Jaystjohn (talk · contribs) 01:36, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
  16. Crotch bulge: nominated at RfD; Target: Camel toe (notified); notified Hodgdon's secret garden (talk · contribs) 04:15, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Crotch bulge is a broader concept than just camel toe. Specifically, there is ~50% of the population covered by the former and not the latter. Suggest retarget to Crotch, which covers the term more broadly (albeit briefly) and which still links to Camel toe.
  17. White Tanzanians: nominated at AfD; notified Zircon 2 (talk · contribs) 20:58, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Procedural nomination. There was RfD consensus in 2020 to restore this article and not have it redirect to Demographics of Tanzania, which does not mention white Tanzanians. Several editors have nonetheless attempted to restore the redirect, contrary to that consensus, and have declined to take it to AfD as is the correct procedure; thus I am bringing it here without an opinion of my own. Courtesy pings @Rsk6400, Scope creep, Thryduulf, and Narky Blert:.
  18. P-22 (mountain lion): nominated at RM; New name: P-22 07:51, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per WP:SMALLDETAILS, this seems to be the primary topic for "P-22" (rather than "P22" or any other variation).
  19. Capri Sun (album): nominated at RfD; Target: FKA Twigs discography (notified); notified Lk95 (talk · contribs) 09:32, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: Seemingly a misreported name for Caprisongs; see e.g. [18]. As the misnomer is not mentioned at any article, should be deleted.
  20. Front hole: nominated at RfD; Target: Vagina (notified); notified Jim Michael (talk · contribs) 20:22, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
  21. Trans Sexuality: nominated at RfD; Target: Slutever (TV series) (notified); notified Another Believer (talk · contribs) 20:52, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: There's some argument for a WP:DIFFCAPS split here relative to Trans sexuality, but the current target is based on a single episode of a relatively obscure TV series (800 views/month for the article), and if I Google the phrase, the first result capitalized that way is a video by Stef Sanjati, not this episode of Slutever. I think it's much more likely that people typing "Trans Sexuality" are looking for the topic of transgender sexuality and just capitalizing it "wrong" (not really wrong, just inconsistent with WP:AT); I suggest retargeting to Transgender sexuality and adding Slutever to the hatnote there.
  22. The Advocate (LGBT magazine): nominated at RM; New name: The Advocate (magazine) 23:44, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: I don't dispute the finding in 2018 that this is not the primary topic for "The Advocate", but there was insufficient discussion there about whether a double-disambiguator is necessary. The Advocate § Magazines lists two other magazines, but neither is actually called "The Advocate". The Harvard Advocate can be referred to, abbreviatedly, as "the Advocate", yes, but likewise The New York Times can be called "the Times", and we nonetheless treat The Times (of London) as primary topic there. I don't see how this is any different. There is only one magazine on Wikipedia called "The Advocate", and this is it. (Likewise I doubt [19] is notable, and, even if it is, it is vastly less significant then the most prominent publication for the largest LGBTQ community in the world.)

January 2023[edit]

  1. List of actors who have played video game characters: nominated at AfD 10:53, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This was no-consensus in 2009, and then kept in 2012, but the lead article in the bundled 2012 AfD was deleted at a quieter 2nd AfD 5 years later. The real question here is simple: Is this something people talk about as a set? Not just the concept of live-action media based on video games but, specifically, actors in such media. I see articles about specific subsets of this cohort—Game Informer ("respected" actors), Business Insider ("terrible" movies)—but there does not seem to be any RS interest in the general concept of actors who've played characters who happen to originate from video games. And, importantly, such a list does not appear useful to anyone. This gets 120 views per month. It is not linked from any other articles. Its only recent "improvements" have been a slate of IMDb refs (the only references in the list). As cross-categorization goes, this is both arbitrary and unimportant.
  2. Journal of Medical Research: nominated at RfD; Target: The American Journal of Pathology (notified); notified Headbomb (talk · contribs) 23:50, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
  3. Template:Two images: nominated at RfD; Target: Template:Stacked image (notified); notified Hyacinth (talk · contribs) 02:51, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: I would expect this to lead to {{multiple image}}, not this template with only one transclusion. Suggest retargeting, or if not just deleting.
  4. Unpaved road: nominated at RfD; Target: Dirt road (notified) 06:55, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per the target article, a dirt road is not the only kind of unpaved road. Unpaved roads can be made of gravel, for instance. I lean toward retargeting to road surface, but I also think restoring Special:Permalink/44277639 is something to consider, especially if someone's willing to spruce it up a bit, either as a set index article or by moving some of the off-topic content currently at Dirt road.
  5. No man is an island: nominated at RM; New name: No man is an island (disambiguation) 01:17, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

February 2023[edit]

  1. Capri Sun: nominated at RM; New name: Capri-Sun 01:57, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: In rewriting this article, theleekycauldron and I—both Americans—could not think of any reason it should be at the American spelling of the brand name. Capri-Sun was founded in Germany, is still based in Germany, and is primarily sold outside the United States; the United States is the only country (or maybe also Canada? unclear) where the brand name is two words rather than hyphenated. We should move to the more international title.
  2. Gun laws in Washington: nominated at RM; New name: Gun laws in Washington (state) 18:41, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: "Washington", as a place name, is ambiguous. Even setting aside George Washington, Washington, United States redirects to the Washington DAB, not to Washington (state). In the informal discussion above, there's been some discussion of whether Washington, D.C.,'s corresponding article being at ... in the District of Columbia is sufficient for disambiguation. Per WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT, The fact that an article has a different title is not a factor in determining whether a topic is primary. Thus, ... in the District of Columbia may resolve the ambiguity at that article, but it does not resolve the ambiguity at this one, no more than moving Washington, D.C. would make it acceptable to retarget Washington, United States to Washington (state). (I'm not even sure that ... in the District of Columbia is the correct title, especially as D.C. uses that form of its name less and less, but that's a matter for another RM I guess.)
      I'm open to other ways to disambiguate this, e.g. ... in Washington state or ... in the state of Washington, but I do think it needs to be moved from its current title to some unambiguous one, with the base title disambiguated.
      Courtesy pings @Mudwater, SounderBruce, and Reywas92. Note to closer: I have moved my previous DAB page to Draft:Gun laws in Washington. If this is closed as move, please move that back to mainspace. Is this is closed as keep, you can delete/tag the draft as G7 (linking to this comment), or just ping me and I'll delete it.
  3. 1992 Outer Space: nominated at RfD; Target: Gayniggers from Outer Space (notified); notified Dominicmgm (talk · contribs) 05:51, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Seems to be an obscure meme ("Don't Google '1992 Outer Space'"). Not mentioned in article, so delete.
  4. Gay Nigger Association of America: nominated at RM; New name: GNAA 10:03, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: I want to be clear that this RM is not born of any desire to censor this title. There are plenty of articles where including the N-word or another slur in the title is the correct thing according to policy and guidelines. I do not think, however, that this article is one of them. I'm hesitant to reach that conclusion after the massive amount of attention this article got in yesteryear, but it seems pretty clear to me.
      Wikipedia:Article titles § Avoid ambiguous abbreviations advises, Abbreviations and acronyms are often ambiguous and thus should be avoided unless the subject is known primarily by its abbreviation and that abbreviation is primarily associated with the subject (emphasis added). The latter is clearly met here, given that Talk:GNAA (disambiguation) § Requested move found consensus to redirect GNAA to this article. As to the former question, that of known primarily by its abbreviation, here is an assessment of the English-language independent sources cited in the article and available online (omitting dupes and ones that don't name it at all). "Full name" includes censored variants, and typos etc. are counted as their intended meaning.
      ;Full name (2): The Atlantic; The Scotsman
      ;Full name in quote, not mentioned in source's voice (1): TechCrunch
      ;Full name 1st reference, "GNAA" thereafter (2): BetaBeat; Lih 2009
      ;"GNAA" 1st reference, with expansion; back to "GNAA" on later refs, if any (3): Dean 2010; Death & Taxes; Torrenzano 2011
      ;Just "GNAA" (7): Attwood 2010; BuzzFeed News [20] [21]; DailyTech; KQED; Softpedia; Stereoboard; Vice
      This comes out to 10–5 or 12–3 for the acronym, depending how you count it. Beyond this, most relevant Google News hits for the organization's full name are emphasizing it in the context of weev, not treating that as the name used in general discourse. Almost no one called this by its full name. Not today, not then, not in casual discourse, not in reliable sources. I remember getting into an argument with another Wikidata admin in 2013 about whether it made sense to revdel the letters "GNAA"... the takeaway from that being, even GNAA trolls were just using "GNAA", not the expanded acronym. So is the subject ... known primarily by its abbreviation? I would say yes. And in that case WP:COMMONNAME says we should move.
  5. Chris Prelitz: nominated at AfD; notified Wakingwiki (talk · contribs) 20:17, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Does not appear to meet WP:GNG, WP:NAUTHOR, or WP:BUSINESSPERSONOUTCOME. Google News shows some passing coverage in the context of local politics, but nothing approaching significant coverage in reliable sources, and shows no coverage at all of him as an author. Tagged for notability for 6+1⁄2 years.
  6. (214) 748-3647: nominated at RfD; Target: 2,147,483,647 (notified); notified Buuneko (talk · contribs) 20:11, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: The article previously mentioned a claim that this number frequently appears as a phone number due to integer overflows. That line has since been removed from the article, and is unlikely to return, given that even the source doesn't vouch for its truthfulness. Unlike the one other redirect that is a fully formatted U.S. phone number (full disclosure: my (re)creation; see edit summary there), this is a private individual's phone number, so we should probably delete it. (N.B.: Have already checked with an oversighter that this does not meet OS criterion #1.)

March 2023[edit]

  1. Iconic Bassist Extrodinair...The New Era of Live Music: nominated at RfD; Target: Thundercat (musician) (notified); notified Drm310 (talk · contribs) 06:14, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Short-lived (3 weeks) title of a promotional parallel article duplicating the current target. Current redirect is a result of a move to Stephen Bruner and a subsequent BLAR. Pageviews are negligible (2 last year), so I think this can be safely deleted.
  2. 2022 protests suppressing reproductive rights in the United States: nominated at RfD; Target: 2022–2023 abortion protests (notified); notified Drbogdan (talk · contribs) 07:07, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: The first two are simply grammatically incorrect ("protests rollback"). The third through fifth wrongly imply that the protests had an adverse effect on women's rights. I assume an "against" was intended in all cases, but even if corrected none would be a particularly plausible search term, so delete all.
  3. 2022 protests suppressing women's rights in the United States: nominated at RfD; Target: 2022–2023 abortion protests 07:07, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
  4. 2022 protests suppressing pro-choice in the United States: nominated at RfD; Target: 2022–2023 abortion protests 07:07, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
  5. 2022 protests rollback of reproductive rights in the United States: nominated at RfD; Target: 2022–2023 abortion protests 07:07, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
  6. 2022 protests rollback of women's rights in the United States: nominated at RfD; Target: 2022–2023 abortion protests 07:08, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
  7. Vineland Cemetery: nominated at AfD; notified Polston, Marshall (talk · contribs) 14:36, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Almost everything currently in this article appears unverifiable. The only maybe-minimally-reliable source cited is this survey, but it's rather out of date. The only RS coverage I can find is a brief local FOX segment that discusses how a Publix was eventually built around the cemetery. A cemetery on a supermarket's land would be an interesting thing to have an article on, but 2 minutes on local news isn't significant coverage (else basically any local landmark would be notable), and as far as I can tell no SNG applies here. If this isn't deleted, I think WP:TNT applies due to the article's apparent reliance on self-published sources and/or original research (note the creator's apparent COI with its restoration), and would suggest stubbing it.
  8. Public display: nominated at RfD; Target: Gibbeting (notified) 07:25, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Very unexpected target. There's room for a DAB also including Publication § United States and maybe Public display of affection or some things relating to display of bodies before funerals, but I think it makes more sense to simply delete and let the search results handle thin
  9. Public display of dead: nominated at RfD; Target: Gibbeting 07:26, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Ambiguous with various articles about display of bodies before funerals. We could DAB, but I think it makes more sense to simply delete and let the search results handle things.
  10. Transgender sex worker: nominated at RM; New name: Transgender sex workers 01:02, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This was moved by Brookeenglish in 2017 to be consistent with Sex worker. However, that misses an important distincton. "Sex worker" is an occupation (or broad description for a set of occupations). "Transgender sex worker", however, is not. Transgender sex workers are sex workers who happen to be transgender. Their significance is as a group, not as an occupation, as born out by the articles' sources. Per WP:NCPLURAL, articles on groups usually have plural titles, so the previous title here should be restored.
  11. Jeremy Dewitte: nominated at AfD; notified CT55555 (talk · contribs) 05:54, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This is one of those "point-and-laugh" small-time criminal articles that represent the very worst of what's possible on Wikipedia, serving only to attract BLP violations while presenting no encyclopedic benefit. On some occasions, we are forced to maintain such articles because they pass GNG, but that is not the case here. All of the coverage is routine local news articles, each consisting of "Man gets arrested/convicted" and then a summary of past routine coverage, with the sole exception of [22], which is mostly an interview and not stated in the source's own voice.
      Every city in America has a number of career criminals who gain some modicum of local interest such that they're written up whenever they're arrested. This is particularly true in Florida where, famously, the media are notified of all arrests upon booking. That kind of routine local coverage is not what "significant coverage" refers to; it's the very reason we put "significant" there. An encyclopedia has better things to do than regurgitate tabloids and crime blotters.
  12. Bail out: nominated at RfD; Target: Bailout (notified) 18:03, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: As verbs, these terms have a much stronger likelihood than they do as nouns of referring to one of the other meanings listed at Bailout (disambiguation). I encountered this when writing that someone had posted bail for someone else, and was surprised to be taken to the current target. Retarget to DAB.
  13. Bailed out: nominated at RfD; Target: Bailout 18:04, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
  14. Wikipedia:COMMONKNOWLEDGE: nominated at RfD; Target: Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth (notified); notified Gaioa (talk · contribs) 20:30, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Surely this should point to WP:Common knowledge? Of 5 backlinks, 2 clearly intend that, and the other 3 are ambiguous but I think more likely mean that than the current target (which does not contain the phrase "common knowledge" once).

April 2023[edit]

  1. 2023 Cleveland, Texas shooting: nominated at RM; New name: 2023 Cleveland, Texas, shooting 22:04, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: @WWGB: I have no clue how this move was controversial, seeing as you didn't actually give a reason for reverting it, but if you insist on going through the formality of an RM for a straightforward application of MOS:GEOCOMMA, alrighty, here we are: This article should be moved as a straightforward application of MOS:GEOCOMMA; some amount of trout may also be in order.

May 2023[edit]

  1. Splash Zone Water Park: nominated at RfD; Target: Morey's Piers (notified); notified TMBLover (talk · contribs) 03:49, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Redirect pointing to the business's competitor; it is not mentioned in that article. Perhaps the creator got it mixed up with neighboring Raging Waters, which is part of Morey's Piers and is mentioned.
  2. The tattoo (Haven): nominated at AfD; notified Ihutchesson (talk · contribs) 18:14, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Entirely unsourced, entirely in-universe article, with no evidence of standalone coverage. No mention at parent article, so not suitable for redirection.
  3. Yesterday (Beatles song): nominated at RM; New name: Yesterday (song) 18:23, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: There have been several previous RMs here, but all focused on the two extreme options of simply Yesterday or the doubly-disambiguated Yesterday (Beatles song). Per WP:INCOMPDAB and WP:PDAB, a partly-disambiguated title may still have a primary topic; a rule of thumb I often see used is whether the article gets more pageviews than all other candidates combined. Well, let's see. For the past year:
      * Yesterday (Beatles song): 241,137 pageviews in 2022
      * Yesterday (Toni Braxton song): 5,210
      * Yesterday (Shanice song): 1,061
      * Yesterday (Black Eyed Peas song): 1,022
      That is a 33:1 pageview ratio in favor of the Beatles song over the three others combined. Similarly, WikiNav shows that the Beatles song got 35.91% of outbound clicks from the Yesterday DAB in April, the highest of any song and the second-highest overall (after the recent film); no other song cracks the top 6 (which bottoms out at 1.8%). In addition to that technical data, there is the fact that the Beatles song is one of the most influential, most covered, and most popular songs of all time. I think there is a strong case here for it to be the primary topic for "Yesterday (song)".
  4. Lower front hole: nominated at RfD; Target: Vagina (notified) 03:36, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
  5. Category:Hard science fiction: nominated at CfD (CfD) 06:17, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Whether a given work counts as "hard" science fiction is subjective. Some of these articles may mention critics characterizing them as "hard", but most do not, with categorization instead representing individual editors' opinions. Even in the rare cases where "hard"ness is of encyclopedic relevance, it is generally not defining. This is better left to the lists at Hard science fiction § Representative works.
  6. Category:Hard science fiction films: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Kanghuitari (talk · contribs) 07:03, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
  7. Desegregation: nominated at RfD; Target: Desegregation in the United States (notified); notified Mitchumch (talk · contribs) 22:37, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: The United States is not the only place where desegregation has occurred (hence the page being moved), and this is gradually attracting incorrect bluelinks from editors who reasonably expect this to be about desegregation in general—see e.g. backlinks at Joram van Klaveren and Bermuda. I propose to bypass all U.S.-specific redirects and then retarget to Racial integration as an {{r from related term}}/{{r with possibilities}}.

June 2023[edit]

  1. Poop: nominated at RM; New name: Poop (disambiguation) 07:37, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: It's been 4 years since the last RM closed with no consensus, and I think this is worth revisiting. Yes, the nautical sense of the term is older, but that is not the standard that decides primary-topic status. It would only be relevant if "poop" to mean feces were a neologism, but after 250 years that sense seems to be sticking around. Yes, "poop" is also a verb, but see Netoholic's point in the previous RM; the more logical search term for someone looking for Defecation is "pooping". Thus neither counterargument from the previous RM seems very persuasive. What is clear is this: In modern English, "poop" overwhelmingly refers to feces. Per WikiNav, in April 59.61% of outbound clicks were to Feces, 12.19% to Defecation, and 6.86% to Poop deck. This page should be moved to Poop (disambiguation), and the redirect should be targeted to Feces, which is both the common-sense primary topic and the subject of an outright majority of outbound clicks.
  2. Ekar: nominated at RfD; Target: Acre (notified) 22:42, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This was created in 2012, then overwritten in 2016 with an article that was then speedily deleted. As the correct procedure in such a case is to restore the redirect, not delete the page outright, I have restored the redirect on procedural grounds. However, it's unclear to me (and, based on the history, perhaps also to Paine Ellsworth) why this redirect exists, and thus I bring it here.
  3. Mathematics and statistics: nominated at AfD; notified ArnoldReinhold (talk · contribs) 22:34, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: [Context of this page's creation: Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 June 8 § MathematicsAndStatistics.] This is a disambiguation page that does not disambiguate anything. Neither the article Mathematics nor the article on Statistics is about the topic of "Mathematics and statistics". Rather, they are respectively about mathematics and about statistics. The former does at least briefly discuss statistics, so a case could be made for redirecting there, but the more sensible answer is to delete, as this is not a plausible term for our readers to search; if anything it will just confuse people seeing it as a search suggestion.
  4. Tim Apple: nominated at RfD; Target: List of nicknames used by Donald Trump (notified); notified RockMFR (talk · contribs) 06:06, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
  5. Wire guided: nominated at RfD; Target: Wire-guided missile 21:05, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
  6. Wire-guidance: nominated at RfD; Target: Wire-guided missile 21:05, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
  7. Wire-guided: nominated at RfD; Target: Wire-guided missile 21:06, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
  8. Wire guidance: nominated at RfD; Target: Wire-guided missile (notified) 21:06, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Missiles are not the only things that can be wire-guided. Other wire-guided projectiles include torpedoes and submersibles. The French Wikipedia has a broad article on wire guidance, and so could we, so we should delete these all per WP:REDYES.
  9. Category:Defensive gun use: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Gaijin42 (talk · contribs) 05:40, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This does not seem like an appropriate category because very few shootings are explicitly categorized as "defensive gun use". Most of the articles in this category are cases where someone shot someone and claimed self-defense, and either was not charged or was charged but acquitted; but none of that really represents a reliable source saying that "defensive gun use" occurred. Rather, the use of this category to characterize the listed shootings seems to be original research and, in many cases, potentially POV-pushing. If there were a clear definition of "defensive gun use" I would support just removing those that don't meet that definition, but it's a subjective term and so any category will be subjective too.

September 2023[edit]

  1. L+Ratio: nominated at RfD; Target: L (notified); notified Knightoftheswords281 (talk · contribs) 04:55, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
  2. Joe (president): nominated at RfD; Target: Joe Biden (notified); notified RapMonstaXY (talk · contribs) 04:27, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

October 2023[edit]

  1. USHR: nominated at AfD; notified Louis P. Boog (talk · contribs) 06:35, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Since United States Heraldic Registry's deletion in 2017, this has only linked to two things: United States House of Representatives and Islamic taxes § Ushr. The first fails MOS:DABABBR, and I don't think the sources support "USHR" being nearly a common enough abbreviation for the House for that term to be added to the target article. And the second doesn't need disambiguation because WP:DIFFCAPS applies; no one had made Ushr till today, but I've gone and done that. Since this does not help readers arrive at any page explaining the usage of "USHR" in all-caps, it should be deleted.
  2. Сaesium: nominated at RfD; Target: Caesium (notified); notified Lamro (talk · contribs) 00:21, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Mixed-script redirect (Cyrillic C, rest Latin) with no apparent justification.
  3. Administrative divisions by area (Disambiguation): nominated at RfD; Target: List of administrative divisions by area (notified); notified Treetoes023 (talk · contribs) 03:28, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: I declined a G6 speedy on this as out-of-process, and G14 would not apply because the target is a DAB (which I'm going to convert into a list of lists in a sec, but that's still DAB-like for G14's purposes). However, miscapitalized "(disambiguation)" titles are not helpful except when there's significant page history, so I bring this here for consideration of non-speedy deletion.
  4. List of administrative divisions by area (Disambiguation): nominated at RfD; Target: List of administrative divisions by area 03:57, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
  5. Cow belt: nominated at AfD; notified Pratheepps (talk · contribs) 00:40, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Procedural nomination; I am neutral. PRODded in 2020 by LearnIndology (no-pinged; TBANned and inactive) for reason It is just a social media slang and not enough scholarly sources are available for this term. Instead BLAR'd by Capankajsmilyo. Restored by आज़ादी, BLAR'd again by LearnIndology because has nothing except a dictionary source; restore redirect, and finally brought to RfD, where I found consensus to restore and send to AfD. A number of RfD voters favored redirecting to BIMARU states, which this AfD should consider.

November 2023[edit]

  1. File:Jazmin Bean logo.webp: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Sammyrayy (talk · contribs) 03:12, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This is inappropriate in the article for the same reason that a fair-use image would be on a BLP. It is fundamentally replaceable because Bean is a living person who can be photographed. There might be a fair-use case if the logo were discussed in the article, but it isn't.
      That said, there might be an argument that this is below the U.S. threshold of originality—would depend on how creative the shading of the letters is, I'd think. It's above the TOO in the UK, so isn't eligible for Commons, but if it's below the U.S. TOO this could be redesignated as a local public-domain file.
  2. Template:Infobox gender and sexual identity: nominated at TfD; notified ArcMachaon (talk · contribs) 12:34, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: I'm deeply skeptical that there is enough structured data about genders and sexual identities to justify infoboxen. On some articles like Bi-curious this just wraps a flag. On others like Bisexuality it's just a flag plus a repetition of prose content from the article's lede sentence. When more detail is given, it's often original research or questionable takes, like Asexuality including demisexuality as a subcategory or Pansexuality having an ostensible "Parent category" of bisexuality (what???). Yes, these are fixable on a per-article basis, but the fundamental issue is the genders and sexualities are not cognizable things. They are vague ideas of human feelings and subcultures, no more suited for infoboxen than emotions or broad ideological movements. They cannot be reduced to simple metadata in the manner of, say, a person or country. Delete, replacing with flag images as appropriate.
  3. Corruption in Wales: nominated at RfD; Target: Corruption in the United Kingdom (notified); notified Vaticidalprophet (talk · contribs) 04:16, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

December 2023[edit]

  1. Dragging: nominated at RfD; Target: Pointing device gesture (notified); notified Dragice (talk · contribs) 22:47, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: If this were to point somewhere about computers, Drag and drop would be the more obvious target, but I don't see why that would be primary over dragging death, police drag, or any other sense described at wikt:drag § Verb. (I found this while looking for enwiki content on the "criticism" sense, in relation to cancel culture, which should be mentioned somewhere but currently isn't.) So retarget to DAB Drag for want of a primary topic.
  2. Half measures: nominated at RfD; Target: Half Measures (notified); notified Prisencolin (talk · contribs) 09:11, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This is a case where following WP:DIFFCAPS means that the sentence-case version should simply be a redlink. There is no encyclopedic primary topic for the general concept of "half measures", and over time a redirect like this risks racking up erroneous bluelinks. While I wouldn't hugely oppose a soft-retarget to wikt:half-measure, I think readers are better served simply by the search results, mirroring redlinks half measure, half-measure, and half-measures. The Breaking Bad episode will still be the top result in those search results.
  3. Annual Gift Man: nominated at RfD; Target: Santa Claus (notified); notified Kei Jo (talk · contribs) 00:04, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
  4. President and Fellows of Harvard College: nominated at RM; New name: Harvard Corporation 23:12, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: This seems like a WP:COMMONNAME situation. This entity refers to itself primarily as the Harvard Corporation, only noting in a subheading that it is Known formally as the President and Fellows of Harvard College. This recent NYT article takes a similar approach, The Harvard Corporation—formally known as the President and Fellows of Harvard College. A Google search shows other cases like that, and some citations of Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, but not anyone using the current name as the primary one for the entity. The closest is the Harvard Gazette (see citations in article), which does sometimes ([23] but not [24]) say "President and Fellows" on first reference... but still uses "Corporation" from then on.

January 2024[edit]

  1. Home Planet: nominated at RfD; Target: Earth (notified); notified Ravena~enwiki (talk · contribs) 00:35, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: A home planet is a planet that is the home of an entity being discussed. Because of humans' limited venture beyond our gravity well, the term is mostly confined to science fiction, where it usually refers to any planet but Earth. Planet would resolve the issue of focusing on Earth, but contains no content about the concept of a "home planet", so I favor deletion for want of a suitable target.
  2. Janes Place, California: nominated at AfD; notified Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) 20:56, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
  3. 2024 GOP: nominated at RfD; Target: 2024 Republican Party presidential primaries (notified); notified TheCelebrinator (talk · contribs) 03:13, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
  4. Post-war Germany vs post-war Japan: nominated at RfD; Target: War crime (notified) 01:38, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: This is a previous title of Responses of Germany and Japan to World War II crimes, which was redirected to the target at AfD in 2006. That redirect is of marginal utility, but this one is outright misleading: There are many metrics by which one can compare post-war Germany and post-war Japan, of which attitude toward war crimes is but one.

March 2024[edit]

  1. Big butt disease: nominated at RfD; Target: Steatopygia (notified); notified Billertl (talk · contribs) 02:57, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: The article is a reasonable target for Big butt, but, as it does not characterize steatopygia in medical terms, redirecting "Big butt disease" here seems misleading.
  2. Finnster: nominated at RfD; Target: Finster (notified) 13:42, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: I had originally targeted this to F1NN5TER. Wbm1058 has retargeted with the argument redirect to the more likely misspelling – only one extra letter is there, no digits. I would agree with that if this were an arbitrary typo, but, as established in the prose of the article itself, this is a known misspelling of the subject's screen name—not borne of fat fingers, but people deliberately converting the leetspeak canonical name to regular characters—even occurring in marginally reliable sources like Game Rant. If you search Twitter for finnster you'll see the misspelling is ubiquitous, with F1NN5TER being the subject of an outright majority of tweets containing the string. Googling the string—even Incognito, on public wifi, with before:2024—the clear majority of hits I get are about F1NN5TER; the handful of exceptions are about non-notable animals and a one-off SNL character who had no lines. On the other hand, none of the articles about people named Finster reference this misspelling. Based on all this, I think F1NN5TER is the clear primary topic for the misspelling, and the least astonishing approach for our readers would be to redirect to his article with hatnote to Finster.
