This page has not been edited by the user and is itself a redirect from a move from userspace to draftspace. I am not entirely sure the purpose of this Blacksatino account, but this redirect probably does not makes sense. TartarTorte 21:00, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A GScholar search does not suggest that these terms are equivalent, with results for the term including Abolitionists, religious freedom activists, civil rights activists. However, none of these terms seem appropriate for a disambiguation page. Delete for lack of a useful target. signed, Rosguill talk 18:50, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My first instinct is to delete this redirect, since it is hopelessly general (there are many styles of headwear in China, past and present). Absent an article on Chinese headwear specifically, it seems problematic to pick out one (particularly one not closely associated with China) as the target of the redirect.

Delete. No indication that this random pair of ASCII characters has anything to do with Sirius. SevenSpheresCelestia (talk) 00:13, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Apparently Aʻa (but not, as far as I can see, ʻA) is one of the Hawaiian names for Sirius [1]. There's a redirect for Aʻa, but it targets Lava#ʻAʻā, which has a hatnote for Sirius; if it's decided, as seems likely, that we won't be providing navigation for this name of the star, then that hatnote will need to be removed. – Uanfala (talk) 00:47, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Why would deletion of "'A" mean we should not provide a hatnote for "A'a"? 00:57, 5 January 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thryduulf (talkcontribs)
      • Ah, I was thinking about the question of whether we should provide navigation for the correct Hawaiian name of the star (Aʻa); WP:RLOTE would suggest that we shouldn't. – Uanfala (talk) 01:07, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        The lava is ʻAʻā while the star is Aʻa. Even setting aside the difference in diacritic, the former has a whole extra letter, the leading ʻokina. (And it is convention for 'foo [apos.] to redirect to ʻfoo [ʻokina] where otherwise unambiguous.) Which means that the Aʻa and A'a redirects currently point to a typo target rather than a target associated with a correct spelling, which is generally inadvisable. Is a separate RfD in order for that pair? -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 01:34, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        Aaaaaa, ugh, I got tangled up. OK, so I'm correcting myself above: Aʻa is not the correct name for either of these things: the Hawaiian words for Sirius and the lava are ʻAʻā and ʻaʻā (distinguishable only by letter case) [2]. So, those two other redirects you mention: yeah, they appear to be incorrect in Hawaiian. But the lava appears to be referred to like that at least in English (according to Wiktionary), though of course, there's no okinas involved, it's just plain a'a (a + apostrophe + a). – Uanfala (talk) 02:10, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        @Uanfala: ʻOkinas and apostrophes are a bit of a nightmare, yes. I made a few hundred redirects for them by AWB a while ago, which is how I learned about Yoʻldosh Aʼzamov, the only article on all of enwiki with both a ʻ and a ʼ in its title. Anyways, so it looks like the first source you gave was wrong then about Aʻa / A'a, without leading ʻokina/apostrophe, being used for Sirius (assuming proper spelling)? -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they)
  • Delete Searching for this is tricky because Google refuses to distinguish between "A" and "'A", but I'm not seeing anything obvious in my work around searches to indicate that this is used as an abbreviation for the target. Thryduulf (talk) 00:57, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, there's dictionaries, like this one, which lists a fair number of meanings of Hawaiian ʻA, which still do not include Sirius. – Uanfala (talk) 01:07, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      True, although I was looking to see if there are any actual uses of "'A", referring to Sirius or anything else (an apostrophe can represent an apostrophe as well as substituting for an ʻokina and languages other than Hawaiian exist. Thryduulf (talk) 03:09, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      languages other than Hawaiian exist‹The template Fake citation needed is being considered for merging.› [citation needed] -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 03:57, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment on a possible closure: The redirect is part of the template {{Constellations/Polynesian}}. If deleted, what is the replacement for Sirius at the template? Is it ʻAʻā which currently redirects to lava? All these also redirect to lava: ‘A‘a - 'A'a - `A`a - 'A'ā, despite having corresponding lowercase equivalents pointing to lava: 'a'a - ʻaʻa - `a`a - 'a'ā - ʻaʻā.

  • Comment I guess I didn't check well enough before nominating this - it's not mentioned in the Sirius article; maybe a template like "this is a redirect from a title in Hawaiian" would have been helpful? It seems that it is incorrect, but since it's linked in a template it might be best if I withdraw the nomination. SevenSpheresCelestia (talk) 16:22, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't think the presence of one bit of apparently incorrect information on one Wikipedia page should stop us from removing the same bit of apparently incorrect information elsewhere. Half of the links in that template point to the wrong article, so I'd rather leave solving all the issues to its maintainers. If we absolutely must do something, then replacing the link with something like ʻAʻā (star) will do. – Uanfala (talk) 14:36, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. A possible alternative is to follow the example of 'e --> É (after the compose key sequence) and redirect to Á (however, that example hasn't been followed for 'o, 'i or 'u). – Uanfala (talk) 14:36, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the term is not restricted to this specific roller coaster company, and also has uses in other contexts (see Drop (music)#Suggested physical effects, wikt:predrop). ~~~~

Comment – The term is not solely related to B&M, which is definitely not the first manufacturer to use this concept. Much older Arrow Development/Arrow Dynamics coasters also used "pre-drops". The term is sometimes referred to as a "tester hill", and this is covered at Roller coaster elements#Tester hill. --GoneIn60 (talk) 04:11, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with the above, it is not used solely by B&M. To be honest, I am not familiar with the term "tester hill" either, and do not recall seeing that term used outside of Wikipedia (or the dozens of mirror/copy sites). I also noticed that none of the text explaining pre-drop, tester hill, or trick hill at Roller coaster elements#Tester hill is backed up with a citation. As to the redirect, I would be surprised if someone actually searched for the term "pre-drop." Although it could be directed to the elements page, I'm not sure that is even necessary. As mentioned above, the term is used in multiple contexts. Perhaps it should just be deleted. I think we also need to take a good look at the "Roller coaster elements#Tester hill entry and decide if that belongs. At the very least, it should probably be tagged as needing a citation.JlACEer (talk) 19:15, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, you're right. I couldn't find anything reliable outside of Wikipedia using the term "tester hill". That section needs some work for sure. --GoneIn60 (talk) 21:53, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Similar to the 74 redirects nominated below, this a crossnamespace redirect to a long-ago editathon (see #Mainspace redirects to meetups and editathons for the full rationale). This one however has a plausible alternative target - 2019 UCI Road World Championships - which is the primary topic based on my searches, although 2019 UCI World Tour also appears it does so less often. I currently have no prference between retargetting, deletion and disambiguating the cycling events. Thryduulf (talk) 15:47, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Hot plate. plicit 14:09, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Surprising redirect, not mentioned at target. The target contains physical devices you would find in a lab, so adding a cooking device does not seem a reasonable option. TigraanClick here for my talk page ("private" contact) 11:40, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the page history it was always intended to go to Hot plate, but it was set as a redirect to Hotplate which was itself an incorrect redirect to Heating element instead of Hot plate but to fix the WP:2RE, it got resolved that it should go to Heating element despite that being the result of a bad target from Hotplate.

This seems like an excessively specific target for such a generic phrase. Searching both on google and wikipedia found a wide variety of uses, for planes and motorbikes as well as cars.

Appears to be a joke redirect. Certainly not mentioned at the target.
