This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on April 26, 2017.

Ooku (film)

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 although it'd be wise to follow AngusWOOF's advice should an article be created on any of those other films. -- Tavix ^(talk) 03:41, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ooku (film) → Oh! Oku (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Not in article, WP:RFD#D2. think thhis is bad because I think we do need RS on this one. Si Trew (talk) 11:20, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:DIACRITICS. It shows in the very first words of the article that "Ōoku" is the transliteration of the Japanese film title. It takes less than a minute to determine Ōoku (film) is a redirect to the same title, so the version without the diacritics should also be a redirect to the same target. Thryduulf (talk) 22:12, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to Ooku (disambiguation) as there are some films related to the manga Ōoku: The Inner Chambers. May need to add Ooku (2006 film) to distinguish between that and (2010 film) and (2012 film) which go to the manga. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:37, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Presidenta → Dilma Rousseff (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

"Presidenta" is president in spanish and portuguese. It is not specific to Brazil, so there is no reason to link to a specific former president thereof. bojo | talk 22:04, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There's no more reason for it to redirect to Rousseff than to Cristina Kirchner or, for that matter, female presidents of non-Portuguese, non-Spanish speaking countries like Vigdís Finnbogadóttir or Mary McAleese. Largoplazo (talk) 22:13, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

1080 Ten Eighty Snowboarding → 1080° Snowboarding (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

I question the usefulness of this redirect due to the redundant use of "1080 Ten Eighty" in the title. Steel1943 (talk) 20:44, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mongolia (region) → Pan-Mongolism (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

This ought to point to Mongolia, or Mongolian Plateau, or even Mongolia (disambiguation), but not WP:SURPRISINGLY to a irredentist notion. Mangoe (talk) 11:17, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Mongolia (disambiguation). I don't think there's either a formal or popular understanding that there's a specific region that "Mongolia" designates. If someone does think that there is one and searches on this, at least show the options, which will be a subset of what's available at the existing disambiguation page. Largoplazo (talk) 22:17, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Phû-tô-gâ → Portugal (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Phu-to-ga → Portugal (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

There is no affinity between Portugal and (transliterated) zh-min-nan, so per WP:FORRED I think both should be deleted. The version without diacritics was nominated previously at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 April 22#Phu-to-ga but I have closed that discussion in favour of this one. Per WP:DIACRITICS, if the version with accents is kept or retargetted the version without should also be. Thryduulf (talk) 11:05, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete both - all recent activity seems to be a result of the earlier RfD. My search didn't turn up any use of this in reliable sources, and can't parse the affinity here. Perhaps this was originally a form of inter-language redirect? Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 14:35, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, the language I hit on was Southern Min, here. It doesn't seem like it's used in Macau. If so, I'd say keep it since Macau was formerly Portuguese. -- Tavix ^(talk) 18:31, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Southern Min is zh-min-nan. Culture of Macau#People and languages is not more specific than "Chinese". Chinese language mentions in Macau in various places, always mentioning only Cantonese and Yue (language). Wiktionary only lists the Mandarin - Pútáoyá. [1] gives "Pútáoyá" for the Cantonese but I don't know that site's reliability. Thryduulf (talk) 22:56, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't speak Cantonese, but @Deryck Chan: may help, as far as I know, Min Nan is not spoken in Macau, the prominent dialect is Cantonese, so Delete this one. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 23:14, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    - Cantonese for Portugal is "Pòuhtòuhngàh" (Yale) or "Pou4 Tou4 Nga4" (Jyutping). "Pútáoyá" is Mandarin (Pinyin). Deryck C. 12:47, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for insufficient language affinity. Macau has Portuguese affinity but that's an argument for keeping Portuguese-language redirects to all Macau topics, not keeping Chinese-language redirects for Portugal. In any case the relationship between Minnan and Macau is weak (not a significant native language) so the affinity is really weak. Deryck C. 12:47, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

PesiḲ. → Pesikta (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
PesiK. → Pesikta (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

(second eubot). WP:ARTICLETITLE. A bit weird ror both, the dot at the end. First (not Eubot) has K with dot under. 'Not sure. but the combination of bad capitalsation, dot at end, and since this is a Hebrew title then transliterating as K with dot under makes me think this is a bit WP:RFD#D5 nonsense. Pesik exists, but that's a village in Afghanistan. Si Trew (talk) 10:18, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - the best I get for the glyph is "Latin capital letter K with dot below", which isn't very helpful. I don't know what language this is supposed to be so can't comment on what the target ought to be. I don't think the Afghan village is any better, but maybe a hatnote at the dab? Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 14:30, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. The K with dot below should be turkik and that fits in with the afghanistani one, which this one isn't. On the whole I think it's nonsense. Si Trew (talk) 19:55, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pesik actually is in Azerbaijan, which would have affinity for Turkic script. But this form of the name is not mentioned at the target. I think delete is right on this one. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 13:49, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Pesiķ. and Pesik. are abbreviations very commonly used for Pesiķta/Pesikta (פסיקתא) in Rabbinic studies (both spellings and abbreviations seem equally common, so I'll create redirects from the versions with the underdot), but I can find none of them which use a capital K. My best guess is that this is a rtl-ltr issue? Thryduulf (talk) 14:17, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rueckumlaut → Germanic umlaut#Umlaut in Germanic verbs (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

(eubot). Well, this is rather a turn of the screw. Apparently a Germanic umlaut is called a Rueckumlaut. No it's not. Because Eubot has done it by back forming it from Rückumlaut, which does make sense. Oh, the agony. WP:RFD#D5 nonsense. It is R to section. Si Trew (talk) 10:00, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It is completely standard for ⟨ue⟩ to be used as a fallback for ⟨ü⟩ in German words. Gorobay (talk) 13:24, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Gorobay. I'm not finding many actual uses of this, but they do exist, e.g. [2]. Thryduulf (talk) 14:43, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Menage a quatre → Ménage à trois (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

(eubot) Well it patently isn't is it. "quatre" is not at target. I mean, it just isn't WP:RFD#D5 nonsense. Si Trew (talk) 09:48, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I like in The Devil's Dictionary Bierce defines marriage as "a household consisting of a wife, a husband, and two slaves. Making in all, two". If memory serves. Si Trew (talk) 09:49, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) "Quatre" is not at target. Si Trew (talk) 09:52, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I note that Ménage à quatre also redirect to Ménage à trois: probably the same outcome should apply to both redirects? A possible alternative target is foursome (group sex), but I don't think that's any better. By analogy with "Ménage à trois", I would expect "Ménage à quatre" to be about living arrangements and relationships as well as "mere" sex. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 08:52, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Caeciliusinhorto is correct that this should exist as long as Ménage à quatre does and that they should target the same place. The current target is not brilliant but it's better than anything else I can find. Thryduulf (talk) 14:54, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There are a couple of other books that go by this title, but they are not notable. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:02, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Newspaper? Please look at the target article before nominating redirects. One German name of this is Nürnberger Chronik, which makes Nurnberger chronik a perfectly reasonable redirect. --Hegvald (talk) 08:54, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ski randonnée → Ski touring (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Ski randonnee → Ski touring (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

This is a redirect from the French name of the subject (possibly mangled, as the French article is at fr:Ski de randonnée). Per WP:FORRED there doesn't seem to me be much affinity between French and the target - the page does mention that one of the styles is called randonnée but my research suggests that in English this is referred to as "randonée skiing" or more usually just "randonée". Thryduulf (talk) 09:06, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the version without diacritics was previously nominated at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 April 21#Ski randonnee by user:SimonTrew but had not received any comments. I've procedurally closed that discussion in favour of this one. Per WP:DIACRITICS, if the version with diacritics is kept then the version without should also be. Thryduulf (talk) 09:08, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So this listing would have nothing at all to do with me listing a creation by Eubot. Nothing at all. Nope. Nothing. You just happened to find it. Si Trew (talk) 20:00, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Eh? You nominated the version without diacritics, I think that both that version and the version with diacritics should be discussed as a set. Rather than add the latter to an already several-days-old nomination I started a new one and procedurally closed the old one. That one of these redirects was created by eubot is frankly irrelevant to the nominatation. Thryduulf (talk) 22:34, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the version that starts with ski isn't used anywhere so those should be deleted. Randonee skiing already exists to handle this but it is a typo (single n instead of two n's). If you want to create ~~Randonnee (skiing) and Randonnée (skiing) that could be useful.~~ [8] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:56, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like Thryduulf has created Randonnée skiing so this should be ready for deletion. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:51, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The phrase doesn't even make sense in French as far as I can tell. A ski tour would be une randonnée de ski, and ski de randonnée is one term for cross-country (Nordic) skiing. "Ski randonnee" looks like an interlanguage bastardization. In any event, there is no noteworthy connection between the French language and this activity.

Comment. It appears that the Old Norse name of Kiev (at a time when it was ruled by a dynasty of Scandinavian origin) was Kønugarðr (see Elsa Melin's article from ANF, listing a number of variants), which ironically is not a redirect anywhere. Since there was no standardized form or spelling of this name, it would be perfectly reasonable to use variants, including modernized ones and ones without diacritics to point at the most relevant article. The only issue is that the Norse name does not seem to be included either in the Kiev article or in the History of Kiev, as it probably should be. --Hegvald (talk) 09:22, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

None of these titles are at the target. We are not a book club. The target is the first novel published by this writer and I think these are WP:PROMO, really, probably not by the writer but by the publisher. I can't prove that. But that would be my statement in court. Every little phrase that is not the title? "(book)" "(novel)" which is it then? I am sure it is not the author but their publisher said throw anything in on Wikipedia. It might get you hits. You notice eight out of the nine talk pages are red? I am NOT going to check the blue one. Si Trew (talk) 07:04, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I mean I am deliberately not checking it. Si Trew (talk) 07:09, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I will give you my opinion. I write crap for my living, namely software. The author writes crap for his living, namely pulp fiction. Both of us believe in what we do and want to make it great. I don't think that then to say "let's take that phrase and put it on Wikipedia" is a great idea. Do you want to have seven lines of code that I wrote yesterday on Wikpedia just cos it was a quite nice bit of code? No. I think the author would be ashamed of the publisher. Just WP:RFD#DELETE all with extreme prejudice. I can see under Galician language that Airagon can go to Aragon but we can't do that until these are killed.

Keep all - the nominator disliking the work of the creator of Eragon is not valid reason to delete anything on Wikipedia. It's too bad you refused to check that one talk page because it links to this discussion, in which several arguments were made in favour of creating that redirect, and with which I agree. Anyway, of the redirects listed here, most are topics discussed at the target, some are unnecessary disambiguation and/or alternate spellings, and all see moderate use according to stats. None are harmful. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 13:38, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Okay here we go:

Keep Eragon (book), Eragon (novel)
Move Shade in Eragon to Shade (Inheritance Cycle) and delete Shade in Eragon. Add {{R from fictional element}}
Delete Adurna. It's some spell in the book series, but isn't discussed at all in the summary or the settings. The series isn't so notable for the equivalent of List of spells in Harry Potter.
Retarget Morzan (Inheritance) to List of Inheritance Cycle characters#Morzan Add {{R from fictional character}}
Weak delete Isidar Mithrim, not mentioned in the summary. Although Isirdar Mithrim had an AFD that kept it, if it were very important, it should be included in a summary as a key object (like "the city's featured gem, Isidar Mithrim, is destroyed").
Weak delete Battle under Farthen Dûr and Battle under Farthen Dur, sounds like a chapter title. There seems to be a big fight at the end of the novel. Add tag {{R from fictional location}} or {{R from fictional element}} Keep only if the book or its sequels commonly refer to the event as such.
Weak delete: Airagon - does this attract searches by sound? It doesn't seem like that spelling takes primary topic over Aragon.
Keep Zar'oc as it is a typo of Zar'roc, a notable sword in Eragon Add {{R from fictional element}}
Delete Joermunder, not listed in the characters, locations, or summary.

Basically if it's mentioned in the summary or characters then keep, otherwise delete for not being that notable. Shade should be different as that term is common to the novel series, but it should not be Shade in Eragon. This isn't wikia, and the locations and characters aren't so notable that they should get independent discussion from the book series for an article.

Keep as a plausible typo of "Obama", especially considering that the "O" is pronounced as a long "O" sound. Retargeting to There's No One as Irish as Barack O'Bama would be essentially retargeting a partial title match (not a subtitle) to an applicable target, and that could be considered misleading since it locks readers into first (or only) viewing a topic they may have not intended to find.

Shame there is not a WP:COMMONNAME in the infobox. Si Trew (talk) 06:50, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reproducing here the second sentence from the target: "Common names include algarrobillo, espinillo, ibopé-morotí, and ñandubay." (emphasis in original) The nominator claims to have done WP:BEFORE which leaves me baffled as to how they missed this, but instead went on an adventure through Google and rambling about the interests and expertise of other users, eventually landing at the utterly confusing "it isn't at the target". It is at the target, in the second goddamn sentence and in bold.

Nonetheless, delete, the capitalization of the second letter is odd and unnecessary. Redirects not apparently in use. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 13:32, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There are probably hundreds of these. Polbot created thousands of articles on IUCN redlisted species along with redirects from common names (the common names were listed at IUCN). Problem is, Polbot couldn't handle common names with diacritics, and made a bunch of miscapitalized redirects when diacritics were present. Eubot then came along and made more variants based on Polbot's miscapitalization. The other issue is that IUCN had many non-English common names listed as being English; many of them have since been moved to the appropriate language, and as part of that process the number of common names was reduced to one per language. I have no doubt that (based on similar cases) "ñandubay" was previously listed as a common name at IUCN, but there's no reason to keep redirects with screwed up capitalization.

(eubot).. I know, I know. This is already a disambiguation with the (philosophy) at which the hatnote says "for other uses see Elan Vital (disambiguation) (without the acute accent). It is vaguely harmless but just hinders, not helps, a search. Like, how many ways do you want to disambiguate something before it becomes so ambiguous? This is one of those.

From a small sample of 1 rather annoyed editor, on a vox pop I was told "this is --- useless." Then Extrapolating to the 8 or 9 million individual readers we get every day, I would say that 8 or 9 million readers would find this bloody useless. The sample also said that it took him three attempts to get to put this in because of this blocking redirect. The sample, who prefers to remain anonymous, also said "it sends people round the houses.

Casar von Hofacker → Caesar von Hofacker (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

oh dear. The target has it as Caeser (sometimes " Cäsar") with a reference for that right next to it in WP:FIRSTSENTENCE. I think this eubout creation makes it a bit nonsense, since he was not known as "Casar" in English and neither was Julius Casar and so on. Si Trew (talk) 05:07, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

{{R from diacritics}}, Cäsar von Hofacker (ä -> ae). Is that a valid transliteration? Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 13:08, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The target article mentions "Cäsar" as an alternative spelling of his name (nothing strange about that, cf. de:Gaius Iulius Caesar), and Casar would be the diacritic-less redirect from that. Perfectly reasonable. --Hegvald (talk) 08:45, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect is for a single non-notable Yu-Gi-Oh! card that is not mentioned anywhere in the target article and thus, should be deleted. 173.3.79.41 (talk) 02:08, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as there is no mention of "magician of faith" anywhere on Wikipedia. This title was originally intended as an article, but even if the first and only article revision was cleaned up, spell checked and wikified you'd be left with just "Magician of faith is a forbidden card in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game." which wouldn't stand a cat in hell's chance at surviving AfD (it may even get speedy deleted under criterion WP:CSD#A3 (no content)) so reverting to what is almost certainly the most appallingly formatted sub-stub I have ever seen (and I've been on Wikipedia nearly 12½ years) would be a waste of everyone's time.

Not sure if this is a likely typo or whether it should be deleted, but it has received a total of 329 pageviews prior to this nomination, thus I am leaning between weak keep and weak delete, cosidering O and 0 are not that close on a Qwerty keyboard. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 01:54, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Do we have Zero-Bama or anything like that? I mean, was this used as a pejorative term? I don't think so, although I could see that it could be "0-bama" in an election campaign, but we don't have that either. Si Trew (talk) 05:10, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am not American, although I follow politics. I don't remember him being called "Zero bama". I remember him being called a lot of other things. I think Delete in the absence of WP:RS.

To add to Champ's argument, the 0 key on my HU keyboard is next door to the 1 not next door to the 9. Still, it is nowhere near the O. If you touch type (I am on English layout at the moment but just looked down) then both ar on right ring finger, but then a touch-typist should not make that mistake.
