Salem's First Unitarian Church[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 all - rough consensus below is that these are plausible disambiguation terms and redirects are cheap. I've tagged them all as "from incorrect name" + "from alternative disambiguation". Deryck C. 18:36, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

The two furthest off of many invented name redirects for a Neelix authored article. I took out unsubstantiated and trivial stuff from the article, but leaving it as it is a historic building. Legacypac (talk) 14:58, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete both, WP:RFD#D5 nonsense. "Church In Salem" is part of the church's name and can't be recast. Si Trew (talk) 15:23, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
I found more. Legacypac (talk) 15:54, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- I batched these in with the ones already mentioned. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 16:14, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Twice, apparently. I removed the duplicates. Si Trew (talk) 16:51, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Oops. Thanks. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 21:06, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- two of us were consolidating the posts at the same time, so its not Ivanvector's fault. Legacypac (talk) 22:11, 11 November 2015 (UTC) Si Trew (talk) 00:25, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- Three, actually, since I got an (edit conflict). I meant my remark light-heartedly. I wasn't "blaming" anyone. Si Trew (talk) 00:25, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

- Keep all per WP:CHEAP. These all point at the right target, aren't totally implausible modifications, and are not ambiguous. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 21:08, 11 November 2015 (UTC)]
- Keep--these aren't so bad. Drmies (talk) 20:41, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. "First Church" is almost always ambiguous and these seem like plausible colloquial terms. -- Tavix (talk) 23:17, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Discussion for Selfaggrandizement[edit]
117 redirects to one article. Can someone post them as a list, maybe segregate them into groups? Some might be ok but many are invented words. https://tools.wmflabs.org/earwig-dev/neelix/targets.html#target9 Legacypac (talk) 15:27, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
Speedy close and list target at AfD.Boasting is a three-sentence dictionary definition. There are more words in hatnotes than in the article. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 21:56, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Agree - target listed at AfD now, thanks Legacypac (talk) 22:28, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Oiyarbepsy and others, please reconsider. If the target article were deleted, these would be G8'd anyway, but at a glance, that seems very unlikely. Unless all of these redirects are considered legitimate on their own, I don't think this is a good case for an early close. --BDD (talk) 21:09, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- I just unclosed the discussion. The target is not going to be deleted so let's deal with the redirects. Legacypac (talk) 23:16, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- Selective Keep I think its important to have a redirect for Self-aggrandising (or some derivation). Also, possibly, Vaunt. - Wiki-psyc (talk) 23:36, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep vaunt, vaunting, "self*aggrandizing" and "self*aggrandize"; retarget swaggers to swagger; delete the other implausible and/or confusing constructions. Note that bragger has already been retargeted to brag and ostentation has already been retargeted to conspicuous consumption, both of which I support. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 21:00, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
- I support Ivanvector's solution. -- Tavix (talk) 16:52, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
- I deleted vaunt, vaunting, swaggers, bragger, and ostentation from the list. That leaves self aggrandizing and self aggrandize - which variations do you want to keep exactly? The rest of them should be deleted. Legacypac (talk) 05:48, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
- You probably shouldn't have done that, since they were open to discussion and nothing had been closed, but whatever, enough bureaucracy has been spent on this issue. Above, I support keeping the hyphenated and spaced versions of those two, but others have pointed out that hyphens are redundant to the search engine anyway so they're probably not necessary. But they're also harmless. The variations with no separation (selfaggrandizing, eg) are not correct and not particularly useful. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 19:27, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Campbell-Taggart[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. Consensus is to delete per WP:REDLINK. Deryck C. 18:40, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
- Campbell-Taggart → Sara Lee Corporation (links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This doesn't make sense. Presumably a company, Campbell-Taggart isn't mentioned at the target article. The redirect was created in September 2013 with the edit summary "created", without specifying who created whom. The Sara Lee Corporation is defunct as of 2012. Perhaps Cambell-Taggart acquired the brand name? It looks like the company could be notable, and we have other articles on companies it's owned. BDD (talk) 14:42, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:REDLINK. Potentially notable, but doesn't seem to have any info on Wikipedia currently. At one time they created the Earthgrains brand which later was sold to Grupo Bimbo, which also acquired Sara Lee Corporation recently. Campbell-Taggart itself became a property of Anheuser-Busch in the 1980s. There's some history at this link, but it's about Earthgrains which split off to a separate entity in the 1990s, so I have no idea where Campbell-Taggart is today. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:40, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- At least in Hungary, the Sara Lee brand is owned by Douwe Egberts, but I haven't yet chased up who owns them yet. (I wonder if the brand name is owned by different concerns in different regions.) Oddly enough, I walked past their HQ in Budapest yesterday. I could have asked. Si Trew (talk) 16:57, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: Things are a bit of a mess. Campbell-Taggart became Earthgrains per this article and this SEC filing. There's more info on Earthgrains at Bimbo Bakeries USA and Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers' International Union. Earthgrains currently redirects to Bimbo Bakeries USA but is currently owned by Flowers Foods, as is the Sara Lee division from info here. Note that Sara Lee is the page for the defunct corporation (which split into Hillshire_Brands and D.E Master Blenders 1753 (aka Douwe Egberts). Many pages, however, appear to use this link to the corporation article to refer to the brand, which doesn't appear to have an article of its own. Hydronium Hydroxide (talk) 06:50, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

One who brings food[edit]

far to vague, can't see anything in the article about this string of words. Makes me think of a waiter, not a god. Legacypac (talk) 12:00, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Comment The article does in fact identify the Hora Carpo as the "one who brings food", but it's still an implausible search term; usage is minimal, and the term "one who brings food" is not strongly associated with Carpo. On the other hand, the redirect is neither harmful or recently created, WP:CHEAP applies, and I don't see "one who brings food" as a likely search term for any other topic either (if it were, it would be getting more page views); not sure deleting would be a good idea.

Joke redirect (cf. goatse). McGeddon (talk) 08:56, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete as unlikely synonym. I think this may be considered as a misspelling but I think that would be pushing it. --Lenticel (talk) 14:11, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - 25 hits in 60 days = not a plausible misspelling. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:42, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Also, this particular misspelling refers to an internet parody from several years ago, and to give you an idea of why we don't have an article about that, "GOATSE" stands for "guy opens ass to show everyone". And yeah, it's been around long enough to have propagated to Wikipedia mirrors which now link this to incorrect information. 25 hits in 60 days is more likely a result of some users coming here to search for that parody, rather than genuine misspellings. Of course there's no way to know for sure, but the internet won't be sad if we delete this. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 23:07, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - Nonsense redirect. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 16:57, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
- 25 hits in 60 days is surprisingly many. It's quite possible that something on the web links there. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 21:30, 13 November 2015 (UTC).

Discussion for Domotor-Kolompar organization[edit]
Nominating 86 redirects to this group. They were in the news a few years back, with occasional mentions as the Canadian government takes action against them. A Google search of Domotor-Kolompar brings About 2,870 results, with Wikipedia in first place. Link to list [1] Legacypac (talk) 05:31, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- None of these really look harmful or misleading. Frankly, I doubt they would've ended up here if anyone else had created them. I supported his topic ban, and his creations should be looked upon skeptically, but we shouldn't be creating more work for ourselves that is necessary. And speaking of work, I encourage you to create a list of these redirects with RfD formatting if you wish to proceed; this will be enough work for a closer even with convenient links to delete each one. --BDD (talk) 14:39, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- The linked HTML page is also hard work for humble non-admins who wish to check stats, history, and links, and it's definitely not a permanent record (I know since it now has
&redirect=noon the links, wot I requested and I think User:The Earwig did.) The list is very useful but has its limits. [User:SimonTrew|Si Trew]] (talk) 15:10, 11 November 2015 (UTC)- I've been assuming that Legacypac or Tavix (not sure who) will eventually get to these and format them; I think Tavix has a script. @Tavix and Legacypac: if you are using a script, can you adjust it to include the number of redirects listed in the collapse header text?
I would like to see if any are NumberwangI've had to count these a few times already. If that's difficult, don't bother, no big deal. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 21:32, 11 November 2015 (UTC)- @Ivanvector: I've been the one reformatting all of them. Legacypac has been including the number of redirects in their rationale, and I don't think there's any that don't have a number. For example, this one has 86 redirects. Is that all the information you need? -- Tavix (talk) 22:11, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- You're right, he has, but some are missing. Just suggesting that the information is useful, but of course the way it's presented isn't terribly important. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 22:25, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- I am getting the redirect count off this list: https://tools.wmflabs.org/earwig-dev/neelix/targets.html sorted by target in decending order of redirects. Been working roughly from the most to the least thinking that 399 redirects is likely worse then 10 redirects. I'm not just nominating every batch, I been screening out the stuff that makes sense to keep. Trying to check and clean up the targets he created. I am using Twinkle to nom an example and I don't have an easy way or the skills to create the lovely hidden lists that someone else is so helpfully doing. Thank-you to whoever is doing that, I hope they have an automated tool. Legacypac (talk) 22:41, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

- Keep - I agree these are all probably fine, at least none individually meet any criteria for deletion. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 21:47, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Comment The topic is of fleeting importance since the group is broken up. If it had zero redirects people would quickly find it. Legacypac (talk) 22:41, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- True, but they aren't obstructing searches for a different topic with a similar name. Unless they are, in which case I didn't know that, but the name is pretty unique. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 21:02, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep as harmless and unambiguous. --BDD (talk) 16:28, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

- Anheuser Busch & Campbell Taggart → Insider trading (links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I'm not seeing anywhere that these companies are discussed together. -- Tavix (talk) 02:27, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete weird combo. Legacypac (talk) 05:35, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete: Violates NPOV. If there were a section on those two companies in the target article, that would be a different matter. Softlavender (talk) 07:15, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Absent a place that they're discussed together, this is a true WP:XY. I've nominated #Campbell-Taggart above. --BDD (talk) 14:43, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Speedy delete WP:G10, WP:RFD#D3. This redirect is effectively alleging a crime. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 16:10, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete as offensive or abusive redirect. This redirect implies that such and such company is engaging in questionable activities --Lenticel (talk) 00:59, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete: Per article history, it was originally a longer but unreferenced (and awfully-named) article. AFD was raised on 4 Dec 2008 at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Anheuser_Busch_&_Campbell_Taggart but was a Keep on 10 Dec 2008. User:PhilKnight replaced contents the next day with the redirect, possibly WP:BOLD. Redirect is out of context, however, given that Insider trading doesn't explicitly mention this case, but it's not abusive; the case in question was this one.Hydronium Hydroxide (talk) 07:13, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Discussion for Mojibake redirects[edit]
This is a follow-up to Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 November 3#Diego Vel.5CxC3.5CxA1zquez, where consensus was that mojibake redirects aren't helpful or useful. -- Tavix (talk) 14:53, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
- I know this is going to be a pain, but precise because there are so many, I'd really appreciate this list being modified to have typical RfD formatting—or at least the "delete" link ready to go. Just a friendly hint from a likely closer. It's going to be quite a task even with that sort of aid. --BDD (talk) 15:09, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah, I can do that. Consider this section "in use" until the formatting is fixed. -- Tavix (talk) 15:19, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete all - highly implausible search terms. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 16:27, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete all per above. By the way, can we limit future mojibake nominations in batches of say, at most ten redirects? It's just to help the poor admin that is tasked to close these RfD's.--Lenticel (talk) 03:33, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Batch delete, friends. Assuming this is closed as delete (as I expect, seeing no major issues), I or another willing admin can do it in five minutes. Cheers. — Earwig talk 07:20, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete all as above. @Earwig: You shouldn't do it, because you're WP:INVOLVED (but maybe it's OK as it's not disputed... yet... unless just by bringing something here assumes it is.) Si Trew (talk) 10:07, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- I don't really consider myself involved here, but that thought had occurred to me when I wrote the comment. Of course, I'm fine with someone else doing the deletions, but I figure that as long as a neutral admin closes the discussion it doesn't really matter who carries out the closure from a technical perspective. I only wanted to save BDD the potential headache of manually pressing a delete button over a hundred times. Cheers. — Earwig talk 18:44, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- @The Earwig: If you do the deletion, I don't think it's a big deal. It seems to be a straight-forward decision that any competent admin would make. I noticed that BDD deleted a few massive nominations today 1-by-1 so it might save some trouble overall. (It's been seven days now, it's just in a "wrong" log due to a bug.) -- Tavix (talk) 20:38, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
- Earwig, I don't think you're involved either. In a contentious discussion, you might be deemed such, but that's not the case here. I wasn't aware of Twinkle batch deleting. I may give it a try. On these RfD logs with so many entries, it might not save a lot of time. Maybe I could copy and paste the list of redirects to my sandbox? As long as I can link to the discussion with the deletion summary, I think that would work. --BDD (talk) 20:44, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
- @BDD: I noticed that Drmies employs a "deletebox" (User:Drmies/deletebox). If you want to give it a try, I can make one for you. I still have the raw list. -- Tavix (talk) 20:50, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
- Sure, Tavix. It looks like Drmies's page is the sort of thing I was talking about? If you've got the raw list, great. In general, making that sort of page might still be somewhat time-consuming, though not as bad as individually deleting every entry for such large lists. --BDD (talk) 21:30, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
- Yep; I've used User:The Earwig/Sandbox/TfD workspace for this before. I've got a couple scripts handy so it's easy to make the raw list out of User:The Earwig/Sandbox/Garbled redirects or whatever form it starts out in. — Earwig talk 23:32, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

126 useless redirects to one article. Some are not even words. Link to the list [2] Legacypac (talk) 14:04, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
- @Legacypac: can you format your list to produce wikimarkup that can be pasted here (i.e. using the {{rfd2}} template)? That would make mass-listing easier, and mass-deletion as BDD pointed out above. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:45, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
- @Ivanvector: Done. -- Tavix (talk) 16:01, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep yellow green and refine target to Chartreuse (color)#Yellow green; delete all of the rest variously as unlikely search terms, invented hybrid colours, and/or names of colours not mentioned at the target which could be interpreted as pointing to other colour targets by different readers. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:49, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete Non-word, vanishingly unlikely search term and if anybody uses it in an article I's favour blocking them for vandalism.TheLongTone (talk) 16:41, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
- I have boldly retargeted Olive-drab, Olive gray, Olive grey, Olive-gray and Olive-grey to Olive (color)#Olive drab, with the appropriate rcat tags. This is what the R Olive drab targets. The only content at the current target was essentially a single sentence with no reference or information, saying "see" to Olive (color) but not to the section, so I have deleted it with this change.
- I have retargeted/refined/rcatted Olive green, Olive-green, Camouflage green and Military green to Olive (color)#Olive green. Only the last is actually part of this discussion, although Neelix changed the target for Olive green on 12 July 2009 (from Green to Chartreuse (color)#Olive drab), it was changed by User:Ketiltrout on 25 January 2013 to target Olive (color)#Olive drab (then shortly after to remove the section link, I don't know why).
- I've placed courtesy comments per MOS:LINK2SECT at the new target, and deleted the redundant section at the old target .
- So Delete by default, except any specifically mentioned in this discussion (e.g. keep Ivanvector's above). To be clear, I want the plurals and fused deleted.example.t Si Trew (talk) 08:17, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- I've marked the redirects Yellow green, Yellowish-green, Yellowish green, Yellow-green and Greenish yellow with the
{{rfd}}notification.[Grumble 1]
- The Green-yellow, not one of Neelix', redirected to Shades of Green#Green-yellow, a section which does not exist, so I changed it to section #Yellow-green. I've done the same with Greenish yellow, which is one of Neelix'.
- I've added a
{{see also}}at Chartreuse (color)#Yellow-green across to that. I think we should Keep these, or retarget them to the Shades of green article. That Green-yellow targets one page, and Greenish-yellow another, both being done by the same user at essentially the same time, begs explanation. Si Trew (talk) 09:41, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Not sure about Yellowgreen. (I'd tagged this, but missed this in my comment above.) I thought it was a sufficiently fused compound word to omit the hyphen, but my gsearch doesn't agree with me (nor does Wiktionary). Si Trew (talk) 09:49, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete the plural forms (ending in an "s", such as greenisholives); Delete the fused forms with no space or hyphen (such as greenisholive); Keep the remainder, which are perfectly reasonable redirects - if a reader wants information on "yellow green" or "greenish olive". this is where they will find it. 209.211.131.181 (talk) 14:30, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep yellow green per Ivanvector. Keep olive grey and olive gray, olive green, and military green and camouflage green per SimonTrew. Neutral on the rest of them.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 19:04, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

- Comment. Here's a new one on me. The search add-in (for Mozilla Firefox, 64-bit Windows 7, at least) will replace the hyphen with a space when searching. If you search for "blue-orange" for example it goes via the R at Blue Orange to the article at Blue/Orange (which was not helpful for me). Similarly my somewhat random search for "brinks-matt" goes via Brinks Matt to Brink's-MAT robbery (which was helpful for me). That might affect our decisions with regard to hyphenated Rs. As usual, if the hyphenated form explicitly exists, it prefers that. Si Trew (talk) 02:02, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete all redirects except those mentioned by Godsy. -- Tavix (talk) 14:39, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
