rest of the list (54)

Here are a bunch of redirects on individual singers and carnavalescos created by blocked sockmaster Biantez. The target sections only discuss singers and carnavalescos generally and don't include a list of individuals, so the target is not helpful for those wanting specific information on these people. -- Tavix (talk) 20:16, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was disambiguate. I'll make a draft dab, but it won't be pretty — I'll be pinging you all ~ Amory (u • t • c) 15:02, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

deletion, "face of the Sun" should be free of obstacle to refer to the face of the actual Sun, not send people to a track on an unreleased Christian album. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:23, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Then repoint it to the article for the Sun? What is the big issue here In ictu oculi? The album is not "unreleased", as in was supposed to come out at a point in time and didn't, it's forthcoming, as in yet to be released, and there's also nothing to suggest the album is Christian music just because of a few track titles or Stapp's religion and songwriting themes.

Robert (Bob) Earl “Butterbean” Love

[edit]

The result of the discussion was delete. First off, the MOS isn't particularly relevant here at all: that's for the content of an article, and even the convention for naming an article, but it has no real bearing on the titles of redirects (except to elucidate what will/won't be written in an article). I'm pretty easily convinced by old redirects being worth keeping should there be any links, external or not, so that's a strong argument. Moreover, I'm amenable to the presence of "smart" quotes being helpful, as someone who is currently use a popular application that refuses to not use smart quotes, but it does make the redirect slightly less likely or useful. In the end, however, the strongest argument I read here is the multitude of "unlikeliness factors": parenthetical nickname, different quoted nickname, and smart quotes. If I had to !vote I'd probably keep it, but I think the stronger arguments here are to delete it. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 15:14, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The "curly" quotation marks are contrary to MOS. Note that Robert (Bob) Earl "Butterbean" Love (with straight quotation marks) is a redirect to Bob Love. Cnilep (talk) 10:44, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Leave it alone. This is precisely the scenario outlined in WP:R#HARMFUL (second bullet point). The link has worked for more than a decade. We don't know how many other websites or older versions of articles might point to it. There is no benefit whatsoever to deleting it, and some potential for harm. WhatamIdoing (talk) 16:56, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per MOS:CURLY. -- Tavix (talk) 17:00, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:R#KEEP#4 and WhatamIdoing. - PaulT+/C 20:03, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete I was initially going to say keep because I think the discussion has been poorly framed. This is unsuitable as a title for at least two reasons, but a redirect? Sure enough, though, it has a grand total of 5 views in the past year. That's really, really low. And it's hard to imagine a user actually searching for this. --BDD (talk) 20:39, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • BDD, This tool says 143 pageviews during the year before this RFD began. Maybe your count was thrown off by its recent page move?
      The policy is that we don't delete decade-old redirects even if we can't prove that they're being used very often, because we want to keep old versions working, too. Redirects are cheap. WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:33, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah, I think that must have been it. Weak keep it is then. --BDD (talk) 16:33, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, even if you ignore the quotes this redirect is a full name and a hypocorism in brackets and a nickname. Who would ever construct a name in that way? —Xezbeth (talk) 21:19, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WhatamIdoing and Psantora. Curly quotes don't belong in article titles in most cases, but they're perfectly valid search terms and so redirects are good where they exist. Ultimately keeping this is harmless and potentially useful to some, while edeletion brings no benefits and is likely harmful given the age of the redirect - very clearly then keeping is the action that benefits the encyclopaedia the most. Thryduulf (talk) 23:15, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Come on, folks, nobody is searching this term. They might search Bob or Robert or Butterbean Love but those redirects exist too. Rikster2 (talk) 14:34, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Contrary to MOS, and very unlikely to be searched/linked since almost no one has curly quotes on their keyboard; having curly quotes stand in for straight quotes could get very WP:COSTLY. UnitedStatesian (talk) 15:55, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • UnitedStatesian, COSTLY's idea is that redirects "can sometimes be a burden", e.g., if the main article gets split or restructured. In what way does just ignoring this particular redirect produce a significant burden on Wikipedia? (I can see someone believing that it's pointless, but that's an argument against not having created it in the first place. Now that it exists, we need a positive reason to bother with deleting it.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:48, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • COSTLY is broader than that, and also includes what we have seen over and over again: "Oh, there is one redirect with (for example) curly quotes, let me go and create 5, 50, 500 more." That's what concerns me. UnitedStatesian (talk) 19:54, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete whereas Butterbean Love is something that might be searched this is not.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:47, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. It's not just the quotes characters, it's also the unlikely use of a full name + nickname + hypocorism in brackets. I don't think we should worry about older revisions or external links as this has always only been a redirect, and it's very unlikely anyone on wikipedia or elsewhere would have linked to it. The redirect has also received an average of 4 views per year since 2015, and the larger figure quoted above comes entirely from the days immediately following the redirect's move to the title with correct quotes. – Uanfala (talk) 15:18, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
