Water fab

[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. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 11:36, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

These redirects should be deleted because they are unhelpful. "Water" is a legitimate search term, but all of these redirects are not because they refer to non-existent things. However, should a search for articles or terms containing "water" be performed, these redirects will show up in the results and hide legitimate results. Further more, some these redirects can mislead the reader, or cause unnecessary confusion, by appearing as legitimate topics related to water, only to redirect to an unrelated article about semiconductor fabrication. I suspect these redirects were created for convenience, because it is possible to mistype "wafer" (which is something related to semiconductor fabrication) as "water" on a QWERTY keyboard, since the T and F keys are next to each other. The problem with this "convenience" is that while it's possible to mistype "wafer" in the manner assumed, it's also just as likely that some other key next to the F key could be struck instead, and there's no reason to preference the mistyping assumed by these redirects. Finally, these redirects will never be used in articles because they don't convey the intended meaning. 99Electrons (talk) 23:49, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Starting a discussion as to the proper target for this redirect. General consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Xian (abbreviation) was to redirect somewhere, but there was no consensus as to the target page. Of the choices offered, it looks like only Christian (given name) has any mention of the term at all. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 23:35, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Withdrawn. (non-admin closure) Pkbwcgs (talk) 17:04, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is no point redirecting this to the railway station. The full name of this place is already redirected to Llanfairpwllgwyngyll which is sufficient enough. The extra "railway station" part is not required. It is unlikely that this full term will be typed up and searched to find this railway station. Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:27, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep There are two articles with links to this page, and in each of those cases the full title is relevant because of the length of the name. (Another link is to the target of the redirect, so no need for the redirect in that case.) This redirect doesn't apparently satisfy WP:RFD#HARMFUL. --David Biddulph (talk) 16:39, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. While it is unlikely that someone will type out the full term, that is far from the only way redirects are used. One can copy and paste the full name, which seems plausible to me. Additionally, redirects are used via linking and David Biddulph has shown that this redirect is being used in this fashion. -- Tavix (talk) 16:44, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep in addition to the above, the railway station is the reason for the very long name, and the station is famous for this name - it appears in countless lists of facts and trivia, etc, for example - so it is near certain that there are links to this title from outside Wikipedia that would needlessly be broken.

It is unlikely that someone will put a "q" at the beginning of "origin" so this is not an obvious misspelling of "origin". Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:08, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting this shortcut to be deleted since the AfD participants (example here and here) are misquoting the shortcut as an acceptable notability criteria for awards which it never was. DBigXrayᗙ 13:42, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Withdrawn by nominator per WP:WDAFD since the community believes that redirects to unvetted proposals can be kept in WP space. --DBigXrayᗙ 20:45, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Danski454, appreciate your kind feedback, based on your suggestion I have started the MFD discussion at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Notability (awards). inspite of the MfD, I do believe we should also discuss the benefits of keeping this redirect, when it leads to folks thinking to believe confuses folks into believing that its a valid notability policy. --DBigXrayᗙ 14:39, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
User:AngusWOOF as Thryduulf rightly said, your comment should be made at MfD, they are indeed valid questions. AFAIK there isn't any community consensus page or RfC for award notability. This WP:NAWARD definitely isn't one and it should not exist to mislead AfD participants as has happened in the examples I gave. Because of these reason this redirect and corresponding target page is actually doing more harm than good. hence I believe it should be deleted. --DBigXrayᗙ 19:44, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep pointing to Rivalry as with Rival. Anyone looking for the dab page should try it with (disambiguation) AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:35, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to the disambiguation page. Looking at google searches for "Rivals" excluding Wikipedia and mirrors and it's clear that there is no primary topic. Re AngusWOOF: yes, anyone looking for the disambiguation page should search Rivals (disambiguation) (which is why we should have such links to set indexes also), but most people are looking for a topic - just there is no single one that the significant majority are looking for. Thryduulf (talk) 18:21, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Point to disambiguation page. ("Keep" and "retarget" seems to have swapped meanings halfway down the discussion.) I contemplated closing the discussion but couldn't confidently call a "rough consensus" either way, and there's no status quo ante to default to, so I may as well vote. The disambiguation page includes some artistic works whose titles are in the plural, so I think the s in the title pushes it just over the edge for me to think it's worth the disambiguation. Deryck C. 18:29, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    I think in this case the status quo ante to default to is redirecting to the DAB, since the DAB was moved, the status quo would be the new location of the DAB. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:39, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • If we were to eliminate all of the partial title matches on the disambiguation page, are there any significant uses of the word "Rivals" as a name that are not references to a rivalry, real or fictional? Note that I would consider instances of "The Rivals" to be partial to the extent that there is no basis for thinking that these are commonly referred to as "Rivals" without a preceding "The". bd2412 T 15:40, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect from the name of a person notable only for briefly dating the redirect target in her youth. He's not a plausible search term on this basis, because even the few people who've ever heard of him at all would still be unlikely to expect him to have an encyclopedia article.

We don't routinely create DABMENTION redirects for every person who happens to get briefly namechecked in an article about somebody else; we do that only if there's a reason to believe the person is still a plausible search term in their own right even if they don't quite clear a notability standard.

  • Delete. DABMENTION is a necessary, but not a sufficient condition for something to be included in a dab page. Young Miss Thatcher's boyfriens is mentioned several times in her article, but that's only providing a vantage point on her: there's no substantial content about himself to warrant either a redirect or inclusion in a dab page. The band member, on the other hand, is more eligible, but I'm not sure how far we'd want to go creating redirects about alternative names of band members. I'd rather we leave it to the search engine in this case as it appears to be doing its job well enough. – Uanfala (talk) 15:00, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
