August 15[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on August 15, 2014.

Mustaneros[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was keep. The necessary history merge has been carried out. This is the original title of the target article and such pages are kept as a redirect, for the reason given at the template on the redirect page, unless the redirect is in some way significantly harmful. NAC. The Whispering Wind (talk) 01:25, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mustaneros, a redirect page to correct a misspelling of another page, may be removed now as it links to no other page needing it to be used and is of no use in itself.Asiaticus (talk) 23:39, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've asked for a histmerge, as this mispelling contains the edit history for the correct spelling's article. -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 06:38, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Histmerge has been completed. (NOTE: Histmerge usually leaves a redirect behind. and WP:MAD a histmerge is needed anyways) -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 06:48, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and don't history merge (if it hasn't been done yet). This is a rather likely misspelling and so shouldn't be deleted. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 02:20, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep redirect and history merge: I have heard of "Mustangers" or "Mustang runners" (English) all my life, but though"Mustaneros" is not common, it has some use Mesteñeros is seen more often, as here. Both should probably redirect to Mesteñeros. Montanabw(talk) 22:20, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: plausible misspelling. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 08:12, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Grey's Law[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was retargeted to Clarke's three laws#Grey. JohnCD (talk) 19:43, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No longer covered at the target page, nothing to redirect to. Paradoctor (talk) 19:29, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to Clarke's three laws, where it is also mentioned (also uncited). Or simply revert the removal – the term is used off-site, so it is probably wiser to wait until someone finds its origin then to remove mention. FWIW {{citation needed}} was added less then a year ago. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 08:39, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Knowing about Clarke, a revert would violate WP:R#DELETE 1,2,5. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paradoctor (talk • contribs) 12:56, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

XHSS-TV[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was retarget. This is without prejudice to a new discussion in a few months (should anyone desire) when stats unaffected by the template or this discussion are available. Thryduulf (talk) 10:38, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The creation of this redirect was part of a mistake in Template:Hermosillo TV. The actual station is XHHSS-TV. There is no station with this call sign in Mexico according to the Federal Telecommunications Institute station list. Raymie (t • c) 19:05, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to Azteca Trece for now: this may be a plausible typo, and stats count is high. Although most hits certainly come from the template Raymie have fixed, clean hit count would be needed to make sure the redirect is not linked off-site. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 08:48, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Moropant Pingle[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was no consensus to delete/withdrawn in favour of disambiguation. Disambiguation has the most support here, and no objections, but I wouldn't call it a consensus. Thryduulf (talk) 10:45, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This redirects Moropant Pingle to Moropant Trimbak Pingle. The latter was a Maratha military figure in the 1600s; the former could (and does, such as here) refer to a 20th century RSS figure. However, the RSS figure does not currently have an article, but could do in the future; therefore, his name should currently be a redlink. Ergo, this redirect needs deletion. Vanamonde93 (talk) 14:06, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment RSS means Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, a charitable group in India. Vanamonde, please don't assume that we know this.
  • Redlink to encourage article creation and because current redirect is deceptive and leads to bad links. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 14:23, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oiyarbepsy, it was a careless mistake on my part, not an assumption. Apologies. Vanamonde93 (talk) 06:25, 16 August 2014 (UTC) [reply]
  • Disambiguate or keep, seems to be a plausible search term for the current target. Siuenti (talk) 18:18, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Siuenti, correct me if I am wrong; but I was under the impression that DAB pages cannot contain redlinks, in which case the 17th century guy would be the only entry, thus rendering the DAB page useless. Keeping would mean we are actively propagating an error. Or am I missing something? Vanamonde93 (talk) 16:54, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wait, this is the same guy as Moropant_Pingley right? So that makes two blue links for a Dab, but maybe there should be a hatnote instead. I don't see why Moropant Pingle is an erroneous search term for Moropant Trimbak Pingle. Siuenti (talk) 21:01, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can I withdraw this nom? yes, it's this guy; Moropant_Pingley. So a DAB page would work. I thought I had tried all spelling variants to find a blue-link, it looks like I had not. Vanamonde93 (talk) 04:15, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Fine with a hatnote, too. Vanamonde93 (talk) 04:20, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Duwang[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was delete. JohnCD (talk) 17:41, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Suggesting deletion per WP:RFD#D2.

Duwang is a meme in fansubbing/scanlation circles relating to a particularly bad JoJo's Bizarre Adventure translation. (if you must know more, scroll down to Duwang here) It's not really right to point it to internet meme or JJBA because it's not really about either one of them, and neither article talks about this specific meme.

I'm not sure a reasonable target exists. Even an article about corrupted translations would probably not be quite right as this is a specific instance. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 06:57, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: misleading redirect, no relevant mention is available on Wikipedia. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 09:53, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - not mentioned at target; the word only appears as the name of the guy who founded this monastary Likir Monastery; but I read it as just his first name, and thus probably not an appropriate target? WilyD 10:23, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese (Taiwan) diplomatic missions[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was keep. JohnCD (talk) 19:49, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unlikely search term. Particularly the use of the word "Chinese" at the beginning. - TheChampionMan1234 05:54, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: it is not that unlikely. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 09:55, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - plausible search term is the standard, not likely, for an excellent reason: we don't want to fuck over a small but noticeable percentage of our readership for no reason whatsoever. This is a plausible (if perhaps unlikely) search term. WilyD 10:18, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Shouldn't this disambiguate between missions to Taiwan and missions from Taiwan? In any case, keep per aboves -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 06:40, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Chokolade[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was no consensus. Thryduulf (talk) 10:54, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not especially Danish. - TheChampionMan1234 04:50, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: it has no right to exist on English Wikipedia as Danish name per WP:FORRED, and two typos are too much for misspelled English name. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 09:57, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - unambiguously directs readers to the content they're looking for, which is the purpose of redirects, and makes encyclopaedias useful. There's no reason to fuck over the readership for no encyclopaedia gain, (or certainly, the delete arguments don't explain why they want to do this). WilyD 10:21, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • There is an excellent reason to "fuck over the readership for no encyclopaedia gain": WP:NOTDICT. We have Wikitionary for these things, and the term "Chokolade" ha no encyclopedic meaning in English whatsoever. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 13:04, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Northern Spain[edit]

The result of the discussion was retarget. There was no agreement on what specific article to target, but Geography of Spain is the one the at seems the most useful to me, so I'll point it there as a normal editorial action. Thryduulf (talk) 14:57, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:REDLINK could not find an article on the subject. - TheChampionMan1234 01:48, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy deleted WP:CSD#G7 at author's request. JohnCD (talk) 09:44, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Added with the edit summary " Dennis frequently employs this as a gag in panel shows" . As it is not mentioned on the article, I don't see how it is sufficiently noteworthy.. Considering that the line is a routine part of thousands of advertisements, it won't be primarily from this show that people will encounter it. DGG ( talk ) 01:46, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point - no point wasting any time on a RfD. G7d.--Launchballer 09:39, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. JohnCD (talk) 17:42, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unused cross-namespace redirect. Artefact left behind after template was accidentally created in mainspace and then moved into template space. DH85868993 (talk) 00:38, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete WP:XNR to a formatting template, cannot be used for navigation. Not readable by an ordinary user -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 05:46, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: this CNR violates well-established pseudo-namespace convention for templates. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 10:02, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
