Huổi

[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. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 23:38, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Created by error. The correct name is "Huổi Só". "Huổi" itself does not have any meaning. 6characters (talk) 22:53, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Glades12:, it has been existing this long simply because it is not a popular enough article for someone to notice it incorrectness. Here's a meeting of the commune's government http://tinhdoandienbien.vn/news/Hoat-dong-doan/Doan-thanh-nien-Hoi-Nong-dan-Hoi-Phu-nu-xa-Huoi-So-tong-ket-cong-tac-nam-2019-trien-khai-nhiem-vu-trong-tam-nam-2020-653/
There are plenty of communes with "Huổi" as their incomplete name, like Huổi Lèng, Huổi Luông, Huổi Lếch, Huổi Mí, Huổi Một... The user who created this, Dr. Blofeld also created hundreds of other articles about Vietnamese populated places, many of which he made mistakes (and this is understandable because he is not a local). However, I would like to emphasize that the commune's name has always been "Huổi Só", and it has never been referred as "Huổi" in short. Also, you can verify that this redirect is orphaned now, so there should not be any link break if it is deleted 6characters (talk) 17:19, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not all links are internal ones listed at Special:WhatLinksHere. External sites exist. Glades12 (talk) 07:18, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Glades12: Can you name one? All pages that links to Huổi includes some WikiProjects, and two portals, and the reason they link there is because of this discussion going on. Isn't that clear? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Hu%E1%BB%95i 6characters (talk) 00:43, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, but there is also no certain way to know if there are any besides those. WhatLinksHere only lists internal links on the English Wikipedia. Glades12 (talk) 09:02, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Huổi Lèng was never at this title, so it is not likely that someone would be linked to Huổi by a text referring to Huổi Lèng. Huổi Só, on the other hand, was for quite a long time. (Huổi is indeed not a correct name for anything, but it has certainly been linked in the time between 2011 and 2015.) Glades12 (talk) 13:53, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disambiguate – Glades12's concerns about the redirect's age and usage are valid and cannot be dismissed simply because the redirect is misleading. However, the redirect is misleading, so keeping it as is not ideal. Thus, I'd suggest disambiguating between articles that have Huổi in their names. signed, Rosguill talk 23:14, 21 February 2020 (UTC) 17:42, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Rosguill As mentioned above, it should not be a disambiguation per WP:PARTIALMATCH. The disambiguation page with partial match should only exist when those objects may be referred as that partial match name in short. Meanwhile, in this case, none of the communes Huổi Só, Huổi Lèng, Huổi Mí,... are referred as "Huổi" in short. Therefore, it doesn't make any sense to create such a disambiguation page. Moreover, the total view is 172 over 4 years (this also included the views of some people in this discussion), and the average is 0 per day, which yields that it is totally insignificant, especially compared to other articles that has thousands of views per day 6characters (talk) 03:26, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments: Glades12, Rosguill If the external sites is what you are concerned about, then I disagree. At least give an example of one external site that links to this redirect. For this redirect, I nominated it for deletion because neither keeping it nor disambiguating is a good solution.
There's another fact that needs to be taken into consideration here, that is the article Huổi Só does not cite any sources since it was at the name Huổi. Before any external sites decide to link to a Wikipedia article, at least they will have to verify the information first. Thus, if there's any site that links to Huổi, it can only mean that whoever created that site just simply linked there without having to verify the information at all. Thus, those sites can be dismissed. 6characters (talk) 16:54, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm swayed by this argument and struck my vote. While there's no rule forcing external sites to behave this way, the state of the article does mean that any incoming links are unlikely to have been terribly useful to begin with. signed, Rosguill talk 17:42, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was no consensus. I've written something for both deletion and no consensus now and can see an argument for either result. However, without a definitive consensus, it's probably safer (read: better) to not call one. -- Tavix (talk) 19:08, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing retarget to Book of Revelation, which opens with either "The revelation of Jesus Christ" or the "The revelation from Jesus Christ", depending on translation. A Google search indicates this term is more commonly used to refer to the Book of Revelation than the Second Coming. Hog Farm (talk) 19:27, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Possum lady

[edit]

The result of the discussion was delete. I note at User talk:Guy Macon#George Spelvin (disambiguation) that Guy Macon has requested deletion of the disambiguation page he created, so I have fulfilled that request. With the deletion of the disambiguation page, that leaves only one expressed option extant, which is deletion. -- Tavix (talk) 18:51, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned at the target. Internet search results for "Possum lady" didn't turn up anything about George Spelvin that I could see. Delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 19:10, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's a reference to ME Pearl. https://www.kqed.org/arts/13864473/who-is-the-glamorous-opossum-lady-of-youtube I'm kind of surprised we don't have an article on one of the weirdest and funniest YouTube "phenomena" I've ever seen, but I'm perfectly fine with deletion. Vexations (talk) 19:48, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, this one is seriously weird.

There is indeed a hilarious opossum lady on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/user/MEpearlA/videos?view=0&sort=p&flow=grid

(Don't miss "Another Exotic Opossum" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAXedFDsjIs !)

The woman in the YouTube videos goes by the name of Georgette Spelvin[2] ("ME Pearl" is a dead squirrel... don't ask.)

George Spelvin, Georgette Spelvin, and Georgina Spelvin are traditional pseudonyms used in programs in American theater -- but that's not where you end up when searching for the latter two names. See our George Spelvin page.

One such use was pornographic actress Georgina Spelvin. Another it appears, is our opossum lady[3][4].

My suggested solution is to create a disambiguation page and have all the redirects point to it. --Guy Macon (talk) 05:37, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone object to me just going ahead and fixing this as I described? --Guy Macon (talk) 03:31, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Guy Macon: You had me at "disamb...". I 👍 Like disambiguation pages, always, and if my deletion rationale is per WP:R#D2 or WP:XY, then I will always support disambiguation if we can create a passing disambiguation page. Feel free to draft a proposed dab page below the target. Doug Mehus T·C 16:28, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Please check my work. I don't have a lot of experience with disambiguations and redirects. --Guy Macon (talk) 17:35, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I see what you mean, Guy Macon. You wanted to create a disambiguation for George Spelvin (disambiguation), and have possum lady redirect there. Yes, that's fine as well. I am, however, undoing your close as we typically close with XFDCloser to insert a closing rationale. I would recommend adding {{R from ambiguous term}} to the possum lady redirect, then we can close this as retarget to George Spelvin (disambiguation). Doug Mehus T·C 17:41, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I generally don't like closing things as speedy retarget unless the creator of the redirect has said that they're in favor of that as well. Additionally, the proposed dab page as written doesn't conform to WP:DABREF; either we should start a stub on Pearl the Possum Lady or not disambiguate with it. signed, Rosguill talk 18:25, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Rosguill: Okay, fair enough. I would be supportive of a stub article, but how come it doesn't conform to WP:DABREF? Is it because all the bluelinks are related to the same subject? Doug Mehus T·C 18:47, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Do not include external links, either as entries or in descriptions, from the section on external links immediately below the DABREF anchor. signed, Rosguill talk 18:51, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think ME Pearl is notable, sadly. There are a few short articles about her on clickbaity sites (Cracked, Jezebel, etc.) but that sort of coverage falls short of WP:NENT/WP:NBIO, IMO. I suspect that if a stub was created it would be uncontroversially deleted at AFD, if not A7'd. So I can't support redirecting to that dab page.SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 19:41, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am OK with either deletion of possum lady (opossum lady?) or retargeting to the disambiguation page. --Guy Macon (talk) 00:09, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

These were all created yesterday. Re the first two: redirects that omit the definite article from a descriptive phrase are helpful given the way people search, but redirects that insert an aricle where none existed are not. GB's languages is plausible but GB is also commonly used as an abbreviation for Gilgit-Baltistan (a territory where quite a few languages are spoken), so WP:XY applies. The last two redirects are in all caps: these are not useful in the way e.g. an all-lower-case redirect like Languages of cornwall (created at the same time as these), can be. – Uanfala (talk) 12:52, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing retarget to Dixie (song) on this one. Songs are often displayed in double quotes, like "Amazing Grace" or "Beer Never Broke My Heart", so it would be logical for this to redirect to the song with that setup. Hog Farm (talk) 03:04, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Safaris of any sort are not mentioned in the target article, and this redirect actually redirects to the external links section. None of the external links seem to have anything to do with safaris, and not sure why we'd redirect to an external links section in general. Hog Farm (talk) 03:00, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - C56C created the redirect and added the external link at the same time.[5] It was a link to a non-notable business selling creationist themed trips. The link fails WP:ELNO and later removed. The redirect shouldn't have been created even if the external link had remained. - SummerPhDv2.0 03:42, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned at target article, although I would say this is most likely a slogan related to the target at some point in the past. 28 pageviews in 2019 suggest that this isn't of much use to users [6], and it's likely that this slogan is too tangential to be mentioned in the article without being WP:UNDUE. Should we have redirects to peripheral topics not mentioned in articles? There's a bunch of similar redirects going to the WBC page, including Thank God for IEDs (17 pageviews in 2019) and Yourpastorisawhore.com (35 pageviews in 2019). I'm using this one as a test nom, to see if the community determines these redirects to be useful. If this comes through as not useful, I think we should look through the other targets to this article. Hog Farm (talk) 02:55, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - We could spend the next month creating redirects for thousands of "God hates _____" slogans, but the relative handful we have for WBC's most used should cover it. If the slogan doesn't merit sourced discussion in the article, it doesn't merit a redirect. - SummerPhDv2.0 12:36, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as silliness and per the low pageviews, per nom, thus failing WP:R#D8. It's, at best, a neologism, and, at worst, juvenile humour orchestrated by a few editors for giggles. Doug Mehus T·C 15:12, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Don't do test nominations, though, Hog Farm. Deletion discussions do not set precedents. Just add those in. I support deletion of those, provided the pageviews are similarly low. Doug Mehus T·C 15:14, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Hog Farm: I failed to find the operating policy but essentially you should batch-nominate redirects if they are related and it is fairly uncontroversial that the fate of one should be the fate of all (if you list together disparate nomination, this risks a WP:TRAINWRECK of "keep 1, retarget 2, delete 3" !votes).

Not mentioned at the target article.

The result of the discussion was Withdrawn. This nomination effectively split the discussion over the same topic, so one consensus will be determined in one location. It can be found at this currently ongoing RfD: Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 February 17#The journal Nature. (non-admin closure) Utopes (talk / cont) 02:57, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I accidentally noticed that this redirect existed when I used it as an example of a redirect that DOESN'T exist at this similar RfD discussion. It's too late to merge the two, so it'll have to be kept separate in a separate discussion it seems. Could potentially have a different outcome than the other discussion. (Note: This redirect and The journal Nature are the only two redirects to journals that use this naming scheme for "the journal [blank]") Utopes (talk / cont) 02:03, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Page creator's comment: This string exists as a workaround for media where the word "science" is unclear, as in "as reported in science". Here are many examples: [7]. It is not intended to set a precedent for all magazines. Fuddle (talk) 04:06, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • While that may be a method of introducing the journal, it does not follow the standard procedures for presenting subjects with the qualifiers at the end of the subject. "Science (journal)" would be the correct way to show that "science" is a journal and not anything else. However, I don't want to be too verbose, especially when the other discussion on "The journal Nature" is as long as it is. Utopes (talk / cont) 05:10, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Like The Journal Nature/The journal Nature, this one seems to have widespread usage, so it's both harmless and potentially useful. It's also a more natural query than Science (journal). Doug Mehus T·C 14:59, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do the same as for Nature I do not care much either way (the argument rests over whether it is a plausible search term, I would think it is, but that redirect has had zero page views in its week of existence). But consistency has value here - both are the same kind of journal, both have a name with a different primary topic. TigraanClick here to contact me 16:18, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per my comments at the other RfD. Just because it's likely to be used as in introduction or description in prose doesn't make it a useful redirect. We don't do this for every possible case; the inclusion of "the" makes it even less likely; and readers unfamiliar with the journal are adequately served by search results, hatnotes, and proper disambiguation in the form of Science (disambiguation).
