The result of the discussion was keep. I'm afraid I don't see the rationale for adding {{R to section}} as suggested by Dmehus, so I'm going to refrain from acting on that. signed, Rosguill talk 20:25, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lemma as such not a subject of the given target, apart from being mentioned as one of several publishers. (Besides: Notability appears doubtful.) Hildeoc (talk) 19:06, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete taking a look there was a speculation last June thst Marvel was planning to cast a character in the MCU codenamed the Benefactor and some speculated that character could be Norman Osborne.

Not mentioned at the target, or at Amazon (company) for that matter. An internet search suggests that this is a notable topic, but simply pointing readers to Retail is less than helpful. I would suggest deletion per WP:R#DELETE #10. signed, Rosguill talk 18:43, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Shire (Middle-earth). signed, Rosguill talk 20:22, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We don't appear to have information about this bridge anywhere, so this redirect does not have much usefulness. Hog Farm (talk) 15:41, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The first versions of these redirects tend to have something, which was probably merged at the time it was redirected but might have been removed in subsequent edits. e.g. the initial version 13 July 2004 states: "Bridge of Stonebows is the name of the Brandywine Bridge used while it was still in the keeping of the kingdom of Arthedain." Brandywine Bridge currently redirects to Shire (Middle-earth). You (Hog Farm) are probably aware of this as you did this edit to the original target (Baranduin) to direct it to Shire (Middle-earth). Not to belabour a point, but if those nominating articles and redirects were willing to slow down, then those who are familiar with the topic area might have a chance to keep up. This sort of examination of page histories might result in a more careful clean-up of this topic area. Here, I suggest redirect to Shire (Middle-earth) where I added this (admittedly trivial) information, though much of the content of Shire (Middle-earth) probably needs to go under current standards as being too 'in-universe'. Carcharoth (talk) 16:11, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Carcharoth: Sounds like a good retarget then. I'm fairly familiar with Tolkien, but it has been a year since I read it, so some of these minor places don't ring a bell. I've been trying to retarget the obvious ones as I go along, and using the search function to find possible targets. The problem comes when the relevant information is buried in the history, so the search function can't turn it up. I'll start looking in the history more frequently, then. Hog Farm (talk) 16:20, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. It might be best to see how the discussions at places like here play out first, as essentially list material is being merged to articles (here, the geography of The Shire is being amalgamated in list form). This is the sort of thing that works well if kept manageable, but can get out of control with large lists. Carcharoth (talk) 16:24, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Dead Marshes. signed, Rosguill talk 20:22, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Does not appear to be described anywhere, so no good target article. Hog Farm (talk) 15:28, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Dead Marshes which are nearby. That article is notable for Tolkien's mention of its inspiration by the First World War trenches, a really grim vision. Of course that might need to point to Mordor if deletions continue, but I think we are approaching the limit now. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:40, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Dead Marshes, possibly with an Rcat to a related or similar topic, especially if not mentioned in the proposed target. Chiswick Chap's, who appears to know his Middle earth geography very well, rationale is sound and reasonable and would get the user within the same "vicinity," literally and figuratively, of the information they're seeking. --Doug Mehus T·C 16:57, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't aware that there were rules for notability for redirects. Can you refer me to it? Its not a big deal however, but I'm interested to join in the discussion when others arrive. Victuallers (talk) 11:44, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Notability is neither here nor there for redirects. They're often used to help readers find non-notable topics within articles. This one, however, falls foul of the most fundamental rule for redirects – not mentioned in the target, so that anyone following it will find no useful information. Narky Blert (talk) 12:31, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Jill Susan Dolan is a possible alternate target; but she does not seem to use her middle name, making Susan Dolan both an unlikely search term, and WP:OR by calling her by a name she doesn't use. Narky Blert (talk) 12:54, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom, though Narky Blert's comment is also appropriate. I also just feel we don't need to keep redirects for every single non-notable person mentioned in an article. We delete redirects all the time for non-notable failed political candidates; this is no different. Also, we don't need policy-based reasons for deletion since we notionally have no rules. We can do case-by-case, non-precedent setting deletions based on evidence and cogent arguments. We have that here per all of the above. --Doug Mehus T·C 18:44, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Should qualify for speedy delete criterion #G13, but couldn't select that option because it's a left over redirect to, presumably, to the Main: namespace. Nevertheless, it may also qualify as an implausible typo for speedy delete. Doug Mehus T·C 02:52, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ostrich egg

[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 retarget to Egg as food#History. Consensus is unanimous here that retargeting is the most appropriate solution, without prejudice, of course, to retargeting to a more suitable (whether boldly or through another RfD) target, potentially dabing, or, equally important, to creating a separate article on the Ostrich egg. Only one editor preferred retargeting to common ostrich, but Narky Blert's research proved compelling in that Wugapodes was persuaded Egg as food was the better target. I've gone ahead and added the "History" section of Egg as food to the proposed target boldly, with an R to section navigational Rcat. This, of course, can be changed outside of RfD, if preferred. (non-admin closure) Doug Mehus T·C 17:11, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this is ultimately "with possibilities", as it's tagged, but there's no discussion of eggs at the target article. I was trying to find out if ostrich eggs are eaten by humans. I did find some relevant content at Egg as food. Retargeting there would only be covering one aspect of ostrich eggs, but may be acceptable since Chicken egg, Duck egg, and Goose egg all redirect there (but Quail eggs is its own article). I could live with either deletion or retargeting. --BDD (talk) 20:04, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Narky Blert: Both incoming links to the redirect are really about ostrich eggshells as objects. When I created it and tagged it as having possibilities, it was this long tradition of using ostrich eggs as containers and as decorative objects that I had in mind. There is an article on ostrich eggs in the Grove Encyclopedia of Decorative Arts. Of course, a fully developed article would include the actual biology and any culinary uses as well.

Dictionary definitions suggest that this term is more related to sociology, so might Urban sociology be a more appropriate target? ComplexRational (talk) 23:53, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget per nom. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 16:46, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I'm certainly open to changing my mind if there's evidence to the contrary, but the OED, in a definition updated in 2011, defines it as "The branch of knowledge that deals with urban areas and urban life." That's just urban studies, and fits with what you'd expect from the etymology. Merriam-Webster defines it as "a study dealing with specialized problems of cities (such as planning, education, sociology, and politics)", so explicitly broader than sociology. Wiktionary's definition is a better fit for urban sociology, but we can't rely too much on that. Finally, if we're in doubt, we should prefer the broader term. --BDD (talk) 16:02, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Question Should we dab this, MJL and BDD, potentially? Sure, it's potentially only two articles on a potential dab page, but it can be expanded, potentially in future.

Weak delete per WP:XY. Beyond the hatnote, the target doesn't mention this term at all. It could go to the DAB at Mirror (computing), since "software" is functioning as a disambiguating phrase here. But none of the entries mentions the term specifically.

It's only used in the article Automatic Storage Management, which is closely aligned with Disk mirroring. On average, it gets about one hit every five days. My gsearch tends to indicate an even split between disk mirroring and screen mirroring, but Screen Mirroring redirects to Projection screen, which doesn't mention software. 94.21.10.204 (talk) 04:06, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is no indication in the article as to why this term redirects here, and there is similarly no explanation at Boomerang Generation. I suggest delete because of ambiguity with other entries at Kipper (disambiguation). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:23, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why not retarget to the Kipper (disambiguation) page? —{{u|Goldenshimmer}} (they/them)｜Talk｜Contributions 00:37, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I support delete. Looking at the history of the KIPPERS article, it sounds like the term is not used much anymore (if ever) and shouldn't redirect to Affordable Housing anyhow.---Avatar317(talk) 04:36, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ExtremeFFS used to redirect to Flash translation layer#ExtremeFFS.

There's some discussion from 2014 and 2018 about splitting content off Flash file system into a separate article Flash translation layer at Talk:Flash file system#Separate page for Flash Translation Layer (FTL).
