Do we actually need redirects, of which all mispell the word "Hurricane", that include "Hurrican"? "Hurrican" was deleted in 2015, so those redirects seem to be implausible. Seventyfiveyears (talk) 19:36, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. signed, Rosguill talk 19:20, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect, NFT Ventures, is from a name that is nowhere mentioned in the target article. It is also almost unused, having been used 10 times in calendar 2019 (less than once a month). NFT appears in Ray Noorda in passing as Noorda Family Trust, but not in the phrase NFT Ventures. There is now a draft Draft:NFT Ventures for an unrelated enterprise. Regardless of whether that draft is accepted, this redirect seems to be a mistake. If the draft is accepted, NFT can be made into a disambiguation page, but NFT Ventures has nothing to do with Ray Noorda. This redirect should be deleted. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:50, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The redirect is not a mistake at all but deliberately created to redirect the legal name (NFT Ventures Inc.) to a related article discussing it (there could be more about it, though). There is no requirement for redirects to be exactly mentioned in the target article per WP:REDIR/WP:RPURPOSE.
NFT Ventures is historically important as the starting point for the Canopy Group, which in turn spawned a large number of high-tech companies, probably most important among them Caldera, a highly influential operating system developer who brought forward one of the first business-oriented Linux distributions (OpenLinux) and significantly advanced DR-DOS/OpenDOS (originally of Digital Research and Novell fame) and the web browser DR-WebSpyder. Also, Caldera, backed up by Canopy Group and Noorda, successfully fought an antitrust case against Microsoft (Caldera vs. Microsoft). On the con side, one branch of the company (Caldera International) later bought the Santa Cruz Operation, renamed themselves into SCO Group and initiated (and fortunately lost) a number of very questionable court cases against various open source stakeholders, thereby causing a significant stir-up in the industry.
All this wouldn't have happened without Noorda and NFT, so for historical completeness it is important that we cover NFT.
If (but only if) there will be another article using the same name, we need to change NFT Ventures into a disambiguation page, but nothing should be deleted.

  • Delete unless an explanation is given in the article. @Matthiaspaul:'s explanation is all very well at RfD, but this is another case where a redirect to an article that doesn't mention the term is actually confusing (to, for example, the nominator), particularly if that term is potentially ambiguous. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 21:25, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Huh, can you elaborate, please? I'm willing to add more to the article if that satisfies you (although this is not a requirement for redirects to exists), but in contrast to what could be read from your comment the article does already discuss the Noorda Family Trust (NFT) and gives an overview of some of the resulting history. It does not use the exact term "NFT Ventures", but this is only a minor variation of "NFT" and "Noorda Family Trust", and per WP:RPURPOSE #1 "Alternative names", #3 "Closely related words" and #8 "Alternate forms of a name", it is neither necessary nor desirable to mention all exact terms in an article which redirect there. So, everything is fine, and for as long as we don't need to disambiguate the term with another unrelated NFT Venture (the declined draft, which is unlikely to be accepted as it has no substance), everything is set up as it should and as is standard practise for redirects. Deletion is unnecessary and would be highly counter-productive.

The term "NFT Ventures" is now explicitly mentioned in the article as well. I hope this settles the case. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 10:40, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources#Fox News. signed, Rosguill talk 19:20, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Propose retargeting to where WP:FOXNEWS points to, because the link to the RfC is already included in the table, so having this link point to the RfC omits crucial information that is only provided in that table and WP:RSPS. By retargeting it to the link I am suggesting, we can solve this problem. Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 18:15, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel Sachs

[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 Proventus. signed, Rosguill talk 19:19, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I presume that Daniel Sachs is a character in the comic, but the current article Demonology 101 does not contain the name anywhere. This case is not mentioned at WP:Redirects for discussion/Common outcomes either way. I suppose it is conceivable that somebody will come looking for the comic strip via the name, but it seems unlikely to me, and confusing to somebody who is looking for a different Daniel Sachs (which is what caused me to look at it: see the history). ColinFine (talk) 16:04, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ColinFine, is Daniel a major character in the comic? AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 17:27, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea, AngusWOOF: I've never seen it. As I say, he is not currently mentioned in the article. --ColinFine (talk) 17:48, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Target article at the time this was first redirected says yes, FWIW. —Cryptic 18:51, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Got it, this could be brought back if mentioned in a major characters list. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 19:15, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Daniel Sachs" was formerly an article on the character, but was blanked and redirected in 2007. Would it make sense to move the page to "Daniel Sachs (Demonology 101)" and add a major character list? The disambiguation would be consistent with similar redirects John Simon (Demonology 101), Lethe (Demonology 101) and Eli (Demonology 101). Currently Cleveland Heights High School and User:Pdfpdf/List of Rhodes Scholars/USA-N incorrectly link to the Daniel Sachs redirect. TSventon (talk) 11:14, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Cleveland Heights High School, doesn't pertain to either Daniel Sachs (Demonology or Proventus). AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 19:09, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was  procedurally closed—I agree with User:Howard the Duck's analysis and am not sure why I originally thought this redirect appropriate. Anyway, I as redirect creator requested speedy deletion per criterion G7 so community doesn't need to waste time discussing obviously erroneous redirects.

The target is the subject's son (I think). The subject isn't discussed much in the article, if at all. Better leave this red. Howard the Duck (talk) 15:44, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a very awkward title, and suggests a discussion of a subtopic of Near future in fiction (which however does not discuss video games). This is a misleading title appearing in the search results when anyone types "near future", and should just be put out of its misery; it is very unlikely anyone would want to reach the currently targeted list through such a query. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:55, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Piotr Konieczny, since you created Near future in fiction recently, would you consider using that article to eventually cover video games? AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 19:20, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Piotr Konieczny In theory, the topic does belong there, but in practice, I haven't seen any sources for this. And while many games, of course, deal with this, I want to avoid recreating the pre-AfD state of the article which had unreferenced, ORish lists of what some people thought should belong there. I have no objection to recreating the redirect if such a section is added (and it is based onr reliable sources). I will also added that a google search for "Near future in video gaming" -wiki confirms that this phrase is used only on Wikipedia. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:16, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Implausible apostrophe. Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 09:57, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean? It is "part of the text" in the sense that it is on the page, and may well be a misprint in whatever edition that photo is of, making it plausible that someone would search for one reason or another ([3] this redirect does see a small amount of use). If there's no reason to delete, then it should be kept. A7V2 (talk) 12:28, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The dot appears blurrier than the surrounding text (including the full stop at the end). The most likely explanation is that it's out of focus, and therefore outside the plane of the page. That's why I assume it's an OCR error a scanning artefact. Of course, it's not impossible that it's a blot of ink on the page, but then the fact that it's diffused into the paper in a different way to the ink of the text suggests it is not a result of the printing. – Uanfala (talk) 17:15, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
