[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on September 25, 2014.

The Jig Is Up (Dump'n)

[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 to J. Cole production discography (non-admin closure). There is a discussion in the very much related thread below of creating a dab page, but this redirect in particular was not brought up there or here, so I conclude that this is both uncontroversial and stale. Free to revert, of course. Ivanvector (talk) 21:34, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quite sure what to do with this one. The only place this song is mentioned is Good Kid, M.A.A.D City. It's not actually from that album; it's referenced in the context with a beef Lamar had with another artist. It's not mentioned on the target page or at Kendrick Lamar discography. I'm requesting deletion per WP:RFD#DELETE #10, or information in an article that makes that unnecessary. BDD (talk) 20:17, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that seems like a good solution. --BDD (talk) 15:57, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The jig is up

The result of the discussion was dabify. I think we're all in agreement here. --BDD (talk) 16:37, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Readers searching for this term are probably looking for information about its usage, not as a lyric in a song. (It's not mentioned at the target article.) Convert to an article or dab if it can be done within policy; otherwise, delete. BDD (talk) 20:11, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  1. I would think that people who don't know the name of the Styx song would think it's named "They Finally Found Me", not "The Jig Is Up", given that it is spoken so fast that people probably think they're saying "The Dig Is Up." (I'm saying this as a person who didn't know who Styx was until about a decade after first hearing their song, Renegade.)
  2. Due to the ambiguity of this term, I believe that neither a retarget, nor the creation of a disambiguation page will benefit our readers. There are several terms that this phrase could refer to, such as defeat, but the existence of these terms without being specifically referred to as the title of this redirect render the redirect overly ambiguous.
However, I do the possibility of a broad concept article at this title explaining the term. So, essentially, "delete per WP:REDLINK." Steel1943 (talk) 20:29, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Wikipedia has bare mentions of a number of (all apparently non-notable) works with this title:
    • "The Jig Is Up", a 1993 song on Jim Witter (album) by Canadian country music artist Jim Witter
    • "The Jig Is Up", a 1995 song on Jill Sobule (album) by American singer-songwriter Jill Sobule
    • The Jig Is Up, a 2004 album by American fiddle player Peter Stampfel
    • "The Jig Is Up", a 2008 song on the album Time Is Fiction by American indie rock band Edison Glass
    • "The Jig Is Up", a 2010 song on the album American Gong by American indie rock band Quasi
Maybe WP:IAR and create a disambiguation page anyway with a {{wiktionary}} link to wikt:the jig is up, which is probably what most people are looking for? 61.10.165.33 (talk) 03:03, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cunningham Shoulder Reduction

[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 clear consensus is backed up by policy. The principle, as expressed in the comment by Thryduulf, is contained in WP:RFD#HARMFUL. Here, this is an established redirect and there is no suggestion that it is harmful. The name formation 'Cunningham Shoulder Reduction' does occur in Google results so plausibly it may be a search term and, finally, unless there is a good reason, established practice, after a page move, is to keep the original title as a redirect.

The result of the discussion was retargeted to Jay Freeman by Adaminsull. It's a commonsense solution, though, and one I endorse as closing admin. --BDD (talk) 16:33, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

For context, "saurik" is the internet handle of Jay Freeman, the founder of Cydia. I believe this redirect should be deleted under reason #10 for deletion: saurik is notable and could have an article written about him and his work, which includes significant work apart from Cydia (Google Books search, articles like this one and this one, etc). It'd be helpful to leave this as a redlink indicating the possibility for an article about him, such as the link to saurik in Acer Iconia Tab A500, instead of redirecting the name to one project. (As disclosed on my user page, I work on Cydia with saurik, but I am writing this just as a Wikipedia editor.) Dreamyshade (talk) 08:11, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've translated that, so Jay Freeman is no longer a redirect. More details at the RfD for Jay Freeman, as you give above. If anything, this should probably be Retargeted to there, not the company (if the article survives; not very RS.) Si Trew (talk) 21:07, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was article moved over redirect. For future reference, WP:RM is the place to ask for this. Thryduulf (talk) 17:54, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Propose for Delete. I just did a move/rename on this article, so the previous redirect now redirects to itself. Thus, I don't believe this redirect is necessary anymore. Also, the existance of the redirect is preventing me from renaming the topic to a version using correct capitalization. EDIT: Also fixed capital letters in RfD request. WP:CAPITAL is still messing me up sometimes, sorry :).   Remorseless Angel   讲  14:19, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
