Melinda Salisbury[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. signed, Rosguill talk 03:26, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Salisbury is the author The Sin Eater's Daughter. There are just two articles that link to Melinda Salisbury, and both ALSO link to the book, in the same sentence.

Redirection, in a case like this, is a disservice to readers. They should be left as redlinks. Creating a redirection is maddening to readers, who will ask themselves, "didn't I just read this? This wikipedia is a pile of crap because it repeats itself."

It is also a disservice to the contributors who add new intellectual content, or keep our intellectual content up to date. Creating a redirect masks that there is a missing article.

The redirection should be deleted, and left as a redlink, until someone writes the article on Salisbury. Geo Swan (talk) 22:50, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete to encourage article creation per nom, I don't see why it would make sense to redirect the creator of a work to the work itself rather than the other way around, as per the rationale for this failed AFC/R proposal from February 2015. Regards, SONIC678 00:12, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary redirect from doubly-disambiguated title for uniquely-titled forthcoming album PamD 22:41, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it is indeed unnecessary (for the moment), but when album article are created, usually multiple redirects exist for the album. As an example, Manic (Halsey album) redirects to Manic (album). If the album name is unique (like this one) usually there'll be two redirects that lead to it. I created it (perhaps in haste), so that when an album article is created, this page could be retargeted there. I would start the article myself, but I'm still relatively inexperienced when it comes to creating album articles. Sean Stephens (talk) 01:28, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
(Just for the record, I'm sure you're aware of the processes regarding album articles, I thought I should probably explain why I created it.) Sean Stephens (talk) 01:32, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently this is a very old band with a very old song about some drink. Neither are mentioned at the article, so these redirects are unhelpful. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 01:19, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: it's not an artistic musical ensemble, it's a commercial for the beverage, its songs being ads. "I Got Your Ice Cold Nugrape" is the title of one of these ads, not just a line in a song. Hyacinth (talk) 18:58, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete for lack of information at target. Unlikely search terms for NuGrape. In passing, I also note that the NuGrape article itself has a sourcing problem. --Bejnar (talk) 04:48, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete; old ads that aren't mentioned in the target. Given the brand name is actually in both titles, it doesn't seem likely that a reader will search these after wondering "I wonder what brand the NuGrape Twins advertised..." ~ mazca talk 15:33, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy keep. Justification provided, withdrawing discussion signed, Rosguill talk 21:56, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any evidence that this spelling is in common use, and note that this is the given German spelling for the town of Bruebach, a separate subject. It's also a surname, although the closest thing we have to an article about a notable person by that name is Murder of Tristan Brübach. I would suggest redirecting to Bruebach or possibly deletion if a justification for the current target can't be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 20:38, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That is the older spelling of the target, from which the surname itself is derived. Gotitbro (talk) 21:36, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's not mentioned at the deWiki article for Braubach, but I do see a mention of a Burg Brubach very close to Braubach in the German article for Marksburg. With this in mind, I guess the above is a reasonable inference. signed, Rosguill talk 21:56, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Old unused account 101001[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 Blanked. WP:CSD#G6 would normally apply, as this is just misc. detritus from a "vanishing" of a never-used role account, and there's no significant history, but if someone ever tries to figure out what happened to the old User:Bureaucrats account, leaving this history makes it marginally clearer. No need to discuss this to death. If another admin feels a G7 deletion is somehow better, I won't argue with them, but surely no one could possibly think it needs to remain, and surely no one feels a long discussion is warranted.

The result of the discussion was retarget to Coronavirus disease 2019. signed, Rosguill talk 21:21, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Here we have a case of multiple capitalizations of the same acronym targeting two different pages. All were originally created to target Coronavirus disease, but Covid was retargeted without a discussion on May 13. The default decision would be to revert the undiscussed retarget, and keep the targets as they were ("COVID" is, after all, more generic than "COVID-19"). The coronavirus disease article also has a hatnote directing readers to COVID-19 for easy reference. However, editors may wish to consider Bugsbunny100's rationale for their retarget: People looking for "COVID" are probably looking for COVID-19 in particular. In common speech today, "COVID" nearly universally refers to COVID-19 specifically. (See also: editors made strong arguments to WP:IAR in an earlier discussion on the similar Coronavirus outbreak redirect.) Options are to: 2) revert the undiscussed retarget, or 2) target all four redirects to Coronavirus disease 2019 at least temporarily due to current exceptional circumstances. I have not made up my mind on this one, so please consider this a neutral nomination; in any event, a speedy decision would be favourable due to ongoing high traffic at the listed redirects. Sharper {talk}

  • Retarget all to coronavirus disease per the unknown nom. A hatnote on the coronavirus disease would be useful. --Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 05:06, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget all to Coronavirus disease 2019. With an emphasis on search results before December 2019, I see no indications that "Covid" (or any case variation thereof) refers to any other type of coronavirus disease. It thus appears that the current disease is the primary topic, and the term wasn't similarly used before, so there would be no ambiguity in such a retarget. ComplexRational (talk) 15:14, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget all to Coronavirus disease 2019 as that's where the readers will want to go. I have enabled the redirects to point to their target before this RfD as otherwise heaps of readers are annoyed at a maintenance template. Feel free to revert me, but give justification. — J947 [cont] 23:32, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Back in 2009, this page was moved to the correctly spelled Jack Powell (rugby player born 1882) (which is worth keeping because it shows the guy's birth year) because of the typo, which could potentially cause confusion with rubies, and possibly why this thing now only seems to get around 6-9 pageviews per year since July 2015.

The result of the discussion was disambiguate. Thanks, Plantdrew! --BDD (talk) 19:44, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've been researching around on third-party sites for sometime now, and I am unable to find any exclusive connection between this term and its target. In fact, at the present time, this redirect is not mentioned in the target article. From what I have seen, this redirect's title could also refer to the subject in Empetrum nigrum or Vaccinium oxycoccos, which are not the direct subject of the target article. It seems like the term might be defined, but it seems like it has no exclusive target anywhere on Wikipedia. For this reason, unless an exclusive target is found, I recommend deletion, probably per WP:REDLINK. Steel1943 (talk) 18:36, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep per pageviews, though I agree the "Eng" in the title is slightly confusing. CycloneYoris talk! 08:49, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep In Afghanistan, and possibly other nations with low levels of literacy, "Engineer" is an honorific, like "Mullah", or the Christian "Reverend". In largely illiterate Afghanistan even totally illiterate individuals, like Mullah Omar, are honored by being called "Mullah", which means "learned man". Being called "Engineer" doesn't guarantee that the individual is an actual engineer. In general honorifics like Reverend, Mullah, or Engineer are not supposed to part of a BLP article title. But redirections including honorifics are not uncommon. Geo Swan (talk) 20:40, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There exists already a redirect Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza — Eng Mohammad Ali Mirza, who shall use Eng? Eng is not used for Engineer, rather for English. This'll remain out of use. - Aaqib Anjum Aafī (talk) 17:27, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
