Nintendo not-in-article redirects

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 WP:TRAINWRECK, thus no action will be taken. I was originally considering this action, and Nyttend pushed me over the edge to go ahead and just do it. (non-admin closure) Steel1943 (talk) 00:28, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Lordtobi: If you believe that these redirects should still be deleted, I recommend nominating them individually. Steel1943 (talk) 00:28, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as they do not appear in the target article. Lordtobi (✉) 21:25, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Choo choo: Delete Latamel. Per pt:Latamel, it's a Nintendo distribution company in Latin America, but we don't seem to cover it on en-wikipedia. Keep Nin10do as phoentic and it seems to be a surprisingly popular leetspeak way to spell Nintendo. Weak retarget Nintendo controller to Nintendo video game consoles. Most consoles' controllers are discussed there, although I could see a scope for a separate list and wouldn't be opposed to WP:REDLINK deletion. Keep Nintendo Corporation, Limited as a spelled-out form of the official name of the company. Keep Nintendo culture. While the word "culture" isn't explicitly mentioned in the article, one can get a sense of Nintendo's culture from reading the article, especially the "policy" section. Retarget Nintendo toys to List of Nintendo products#Toys and cards. Delete Nintendo underwear. It was a silly little stub from 2006, should have been deleted then. Delete Rentiantang per WP:RFOREIGN as Chinese romanization? Restore Sekiryo Kaneda to this version. A former president of Nintendo for 20 years seems to be notable to me. Retarget Sekiryo Yamauchi to Sekiryo Kaneda, alternative name. Keep ニンテンドー per WP:RFOREIGN. ja:ニンテンドー redirects to Nintendo, which is good enough for me. (I haven't evaluated the others) -- Tavix ^(talk) 23:07, 7 July 2017 (UTC) (edited: 23:18, 8 July 2017 (UTC))[reply]
At a glance, I agree with all of this. --BDD (talk) 14:22, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Question regarding Nintendo Corporation, Limited: Usually "Co., Ltd." expands to Company, Limited (rather than Corporation, Limited) plus we also have a Nintendo Company, Limited redirect already, and while we do not maintain a Nintendo Corporation one, we do have a Nintendo Company one. Lordtobi (✉) 14:47, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That's a good point that I hadn't fully considered earlier. Perhaps if you would have nominated it separately with that rationale, I wouldn't have left an opinion. However, upon digging deeper I don't see any issue with the redirect. If it's incorrect, then all we'd need to do is add an {{R from incorrect name}} tag to it. It does seem to have some usage in the wild, a couple links at random include [1] and [2]. -- Tavix ^(talk) 15:26, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with all of Tavix's suggestions. Delete Nintendo Treehouse, as that's a viable article subject and the main Nintendo article doesn't even mention it; anyone searching for that is going to be annoyed at the lack of information. —Xezbeth (talk) 07:05, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting since it does not appear all nominated redirects have received an opinion by participants. That, and though there may be rough consensus, in the discussion's current state, it looks like a bit of a WP:TRAINWRECK. Also, none of the nominated redirects were tagged with {{Rfd}}, which has now been corrected.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Steel1943 (talk) 22:55, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Close and renominate the components separately. This is far from being a uniform group of redirects. Nyttend (talk) 23:35, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Happy wheels (game) → Happy Wheels (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Delete as implausible redirect per the lower-casing as well as the disamibugator reminding of Chicken (game) than a video game. Lordtobi (✉) 11:38, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as there are no other things to dab besides the game. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:16, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as WP:GAMEGUIDE or unnotable WP:GAMECRUFT. Lordtobi (✉) 11:37, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. None of the characters are independently notable of the game and aren't even mentioned in the article, unless they're hidden in there? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:12, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep These are redirects, not articles, so there isn't a requirement for notability. WP:GAMECRUFT and WP:GAMEGUIDE are not applicable for the same reason. These are characters from the game, and it's sensible that someone searching for them on-wiki would want to be lead somewhere useful. Hence, they're being redirected to the game itself. The characters were in the article at one point, and were probably removed. I'm going to add them back in. I JethroBT ^{drop me a line} 21:16, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Having reviewed WP:GAMECRUFT, I've changed my mind. I think it's fair to require characters to be discussed in some detail before adding them to the article, and if no such sources exist, redirects don't make sense. I JethroBT ^{drop me a line} 21:43, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Muhammad(P.B.U.H) → Muhammad (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

I don't think anyone would type this without a space between "Muhammad" and "(P.B.U.H)". f e minist 02:49, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom for the lack of space, and unnecessary disambiguator since Muhammad is primary topic. Also Muhammad P.B.U.H exists to handle someone wanting to add that part. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:11, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. (PBUH) normally appears in parentheses anyway; it's not a disambiguator. But who would abbreviate "peace", "be", and "upon", but not "him"? Even if a space were present, it would be implausible because of the missing punctuation. Nyttend (talk) 23:33, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - seems very unlikely anyone will do a search with this particular, rather unusual spelling (no space, periods after only three of the four letters). PohranicniStraze (talk) 15:29, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

unused, implausible/absurd spelling FASTILY 01:30, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete editors using templates are not likely to make such typos. Could also be confused with illegible. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:51, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. So ... I looked up the word "inelegible" on Wikipedia ("inelegible" being a Spanish word) ... and it is quite surprising how many pages on the English Wikipedia include the misspelled "inelegible". Steel1943 (talk) 02:51, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. The nominator's wrong in considering it implausible and absurd, but I'm swayed by Angus' comment about template-users. It's hard to type inelegible when you're trying to type ineligible; people using this misspelling have simply forgotten how to spell the word, and someone using the template will know the correct spelling and/or will simply be copy/pasting it from somewhere. I therefore don't see much chance of this getting used, but if someone can show that it formerly got a bit of use (e.g. diffs replacing {{PD-inelegible}} with {{PD-ineligible}}), I'll happily reverse myself.
