Rod (geometry)[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. --BDD (talk) 01:26, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Rod (geometry) redirects to Cylinder, but the target page does never even mention the term rod, let alone describing it or even defining it. As such, the redirect is clearly misleading. Hence either the redirect should be deleted or reverted to a stub version, or the target article should be expanded to cover the redirected notion. CiaPan (talk) 20:36, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment There's also the Rod (shaft) redirect, should that be bundled into this nomination? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.23.109.101 (talk) 21:27, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Rod has no real technical meaning in geometry. The old stub claimed that "In geometry, a rod is a three-dimensional, solid (filled) cylinder", but it gave no sources, and it's not a standard definition or even a noteworthy uncommon definition. If "rod" were to get a mention in Cylinder, it would at most be an informal example of familiar cylinder-like objects, like the way a tin can is used as an example there currently—but that's no reason for a "Tin can (geometry)" either.

Colors[edit]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Color. There's been full agreement with the basis of the nomination, that these two spelling variations ought to go to the same place. Once we accept that, it's clear that any of the suggested targets are completely reasonable - the singular, the disambiguation page, or the list of colors would all be completely valid targets for these. It seems therefore best to go for the most popular option in this discussion, the singular, which is also broadly supported as the default in WP:PLURALPT. ~ mazca talk 14:56, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure that these ought to go to the same place. Which is better? I've looked at a number of other pairs of colo(u)r page titles (multicolor, colourful, etc.), and every pair goes to the same place, except for colored and coloured, which are distinct articles covering different topics.

The result of the discussion was retarget to American Civil War#Secession crisis. --BDD (talk) 01:13, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This does not refer to just the United States. I recommend retargeting this to American Civil War. CrazyBoy826 22:22, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to X rating. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 00:21, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Too ambiguous to refer to CD-ROMs. It could also refer to the X rating used in some motion pictures. Dominicmgm (talk) 19:02, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to X rating as the most plausible target --Lenticel (talk) 01:13, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to X rating as an {{R from plural}} per Lenticel. While there are "x"-ratings for CD-ROMs, it's kinda confusing to have the singular and plural redirect to different targets here. Regards, SONIC678 01:31, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. signed, Rosguill talk 18:51, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned at target. Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 02:21, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Probably delete as an unlikely search term with this capitalization and parenthetical, and as a questionable target. "Hair fairies" is (as mentioned in various RS) an older term for a category of gay queens, some (perhaps even many) of whom were trans women, but it is unclear that "Transgender" is unambiguously the right target for a redirect about that. "Hair fairies" are already briefly mentioned in San Francisco Pride, and if someone is feeling energetic, they could probably add a sentence to an article like LGBT history which could make a better target(?). (I found enough uses of the term to meet Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion as a dictionary entry, though; revise if needed.) -sche (talk) 06:26, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • If there is usage in reliable sources then I would think that it would be best to add an entry to List of LGBT slang terms and retarget this there. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 10:57, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    True, that would also work. -sche (talk) 22:43, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – unused, implausible, derogatory, and over-capitalized to boot. Dicklyon (talk) 00:39, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Per the usage in reliable sources this is neither implausible nor derogatory - it is a (now obsolete) self-description. It received almost 60 hits last year so it isn't unused and the capitalisation is trivial. Thryduulf (talk) 05:09, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The original target was Mauricio Pineda (footballer, born 1975), whose full name is Mauricio Héctor Pineda. There is however no indication that this person is ever referred to as Héctor Pineda. There seems to be no other suitable target. Lennart97 (talk) 14:48, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. signed, Rosguill talk 18:50, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Created as a redirect to a redirect, repointed to the same target where there is no mention of sad song in any format. If it is a song, then it the capitalisation is wrong. No assistance to navigation. Richhoncho (talk) 14:20, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dominicmgm. In both the examples you have given there are substantial articles about the song. In this case there is no article for the song. --Richhoncho (talk) 17:17, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per above. Helpful redirect which is meant to aid readers who are searching for the song. CycloneYoris talk! 00:23, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sayuki[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 disambiguate / set-index-ify. --BDD (talk) 14:00, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Starting this RFD per a suggestion received at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Redirect#Sayuki redirect. Basically Sayuki was redirected to Fiona Graham back in 2011 as part of a page move. "Sayuki" is Graham's professional geisha name and apparently someone tried to create a separate article about Graham as "Sayuki" instead of incorporating such content into the BLP about Graham. The "Sayuki" article content was eventually merged into the Graham article and the redirect was created as part of the post merge cleanup. The problem is (in my opinion) is that "Sayuki" is a relatively common Japanese female given name and it seems a bit odd for it to automatically redirect to the BLP of a single person. In seems much better to for the newly created redirect Sayuki (geisha) to be for Graham article and for "Sayuki" to instead be converted into a dab page/article like is done for some other Japanese female given names (e.g. Mika, Mayumi (name), Akiko (given name)). I'm not too familiar with redirects and not sure if it's OK to just be bold and do this; so, I'm bringing it up for discussion here. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:09, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to boredom. Ixfd64 (talk) 17:26, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

While manual labour is generally tedious, it is not the only sort of thing that is tedious. This redirect should be deleted. Soft redirect to wiktionary. signed, Rosguill talk 18:56, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Should it be redirected to monotonous then? I made the redirect when I couldn’t think of a good synonym for tedious. Dull? Boring? These are synonyms that would make sense to use. I will acknowledge that manual labor isn’t a very good redirect. Clamless (talk) 21:39, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to Boredom: this is a common, everyday word, so it's very unlikely that a reader may type it here looking for the dictionary definition that will tell them what it means. On the other hand, it is a perfectly plausible search term for the article about tedium and boredom. – Uanfala (talk) 14:24, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Boredom per Tavix's findings --Lenticel (talk) 02:03, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Boredom per Uanfala. 🐔 Chicdat  Bawk to me! 11:14, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not sure that tedious (or tedium for that matter) should redirect to the article about boredom as in my mind they represent two different things – those performing a tedious task don't necessarily find it boring. I prefer to keep redirects local but I don't think that the retarget proposed is the right solution. Weak soft retarget to wikt:tedious in lieu of a better solution. If this redirect is targeted to boredom, there's a fair bit about tedium in boredom#Philosophy so that is also a possible solution. — J947 ‡ message ⁓ edits 01:35, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to be a misspelling; unused; and unlikely to be useful as a redirect. Nothing links here. Elli (talk | contribs) 02:36, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Misspelled name of this county with no usage. Template was at this title for 2 weeks in 2013 before being moved to the correct spelling. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 11:47, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep per below. A look at the page history plus a google search lead me to think this was either a typo or a french transliteration of the name, but if this is a valid English transliteration it should be kept. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 21:20, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep valid alternative transliteration, not misspelling. Lembit Staan (talk) 17:40, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • P.S. I strongly recommend to use google when making judgments about words in languages you do not know. 17:40, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
    • I kinda expected a valid alternative spelling to be in the article, if it existed. Elli (talk | contribs) 18:44, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Zirkouh is used less often than Zirkuh but appears to be a valid alternate transliteration of the Persian original. Even commons uses the alternate spelling for some files: e.g., "File:Zirkouh County.png" A quick google search will see that Zirkouh is used by some (a minority) to refer to the same place. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 20:43, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unused; not in the naming conventions for an infobox-template at all; if anything I'd expect this to redirect to {{Zodiac}} (but there is really no reason for it to exist at all, in any form). Elli (talk | contribs) 02:34, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unused; unlikely name for a redirect - if anything, you'd expect this to be a wrapper around {{Template rating}} to automatically mark the template as beta, but instead it is simply a redirect. Elli (talk | contribs) 02:32, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. If this was a β I could understand having the redirect as a wrapper for "beta template", but this uses the ß (Eszett) from German, which makes no sense. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 02:53, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Entirely pointless and unused redirect; {{¬}} just does the same as typing ¬ so there is no reason to do the former. A previous TfD established this should redirect to {{Not}} as opposed to (apparently) something to do with redirects, but the current use is pointless. Elli (talk | contribs) 02:31, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Typing ¬ produces the character ¬. Typing {{¬}} produces an underlying <math>\neg</math>, which on my system renders as an image: . – Uanfala (talk) 03:32, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hmm. This still doesn't seem to me to be a good reason to keep this particular redirect. Elli (talk | contribs) 03:44, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep seems like a sensible enough redirect to a template that produces a not symbol in math markup. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 15:53, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, seems harmless. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 16:27, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
