Roland Burris Burial Site
[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 Roland Burris#Personal life and education. ✗plicit 11:29, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Roland Burris Burial Site → Oak Woods Cemetery#Roland Burris tomb (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
The relevant section has since been removed, and the burial site is only linked from Roland Burris and a see-also at Burris. We could logically redirect this to Roland Burris, but we'd then realistically need to remove those incoming links as circular and redundant, respectively. Better, I think, to delete this, and recreate it later if the situation warrants (presumably not before his actual death). BDD (talk) 15:13, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Retarget to Roland Burris#Personal life and education: I actually prefer this option, where the structure is discussed/described. Seems fairly unambiguous; certainly, can't think of anything else a reader might be looking for. Easy enough to remove the outdated links. It's a shame this redirect isn't decapitalised i.e. Roland Burris burial site or perhaps even Roland Burris mausoleum might have been more apt. 78.149.135.163 (talk) 23:52, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- It might be capitalized intentionally, if it's an official name. If it's not, that makes it an even less likely search term. --BDD (talk) 18:23, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

created as a possible misspelling, but... it doesn't seem like it. i got no results cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 20:37, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Weak keep: not unreasonable for someone who is learning English to mix up the sounds in a somewhat complicated word; it seems to get pageviews. Cremastra (talk) 16:59, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 23:37, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - A somewhat rare but non-implausible misspelling/typo/mishearing/misremembering of the word. Linguistically, misplacing the middle "m" sound is a very easy mistake to make, so it's less that fingers slipped and more that the tongue slips, or the mind slips, moving the sound around, and then they type what they say/hear in their head. It gets a dozen or so hits a year, so it's useful to someone, and WP:CHEAP applies. Fieari (talk) 23:51, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per both above. Plausible, used and harmless. Thryduulf (talk) 11:52, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep, euphimism is a difficult word to spell, likely helpful. Utopes (talk / cont) 02:37, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

- Brody Foxx → "Yo mama" joke (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Redirect not mentioned at target. Off the top of my head this is some youtuber who makes jokes like this. Whether he is notable enough to be mentioned on it, I don't know, but as it stands no reason to redirect. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:51, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - This looks like a plain example of a vanity redirect. You know the expression, "If you look up **** in the dictionary (on wikipedia), you'll see a picture of (thing rhetorically being associated strongly with ****)"... someone is trying to make sort of thing actually happen for this guy. We shouldn't oblige. Fieari (talk) 06:17, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- As the person who made the redirect, I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Why are you accusing me of creating the redirect out of vanity? I simply created it because I thought the character was notable and well known enough to be a viable search term on Wikipedia. gangplank galleon (talk) 09:45, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- If he was a notable youtuber, the solution would be to make an article for him, not redirect to an article about the sort of thing he does... you may not have intended it as vanity, but the end result is indistinguishable from it. I don't think he's going to meet the notability standards though: see the project YouTube essay on youtuber notability here. Under the assumption he's not a notable youtuber, and we have no mentions of him on wikipedia, then the only solution is to delete. Fieari (talk) 00:00, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - For reasons stated above. gangplank galleon (talk) 21:35, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

- TSTM → Thunderstorm (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Tstm → Thirty Seconds to Mars (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I think these should point at the same target? (Also, definitely not primary, but there is a song on Cat Spectacular! with this title.) 1234qwer1234qwer4 17:15, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Retarget to Thirty Seconds to Mars, which is the very clear primary topic, and add a hatnote to the other uses. Thryduulf (talk) 18:42, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Retarget TSTM to "Thirty Seconds to Mars" - Retarget TSTM to "Thirty Seconds to Mars" per WP:PTOPIC. --Jax 0677 (talk) 20:28, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Retarget both to Thirty Seconds to Mars. Enix150 (talk) 19:31, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Target both to the band per Thryduulf, and hatnote to the song. On hatnoting to Thunderstorm, not sure what TSTM has got to do with it. Jay 💬 17:37, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Based on the capitalizations used, these are not likely or useful redirects (WP:RCAPS). Note that these were all created by the same user, and there were a lot more, but they've been R3 tagged (no spaces between commas and words, punctuation at the end, etc., perhaps these should have been R3 tagged as well). Hey man im josh (talk) 14:10, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete all - recently created. If these were older ones I would have reconsidered. I wouldn't mind some of these in proper case. However, R3 is for typos and misnomers, and these are neither. Jay 💬 14:30, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah that's kind of where I struggle @Jay. I don't think all caps are necessarily R3 eligible, but I have seen some people process similar ones. It just didn't feel right for me to R3 all of these though because it doesn't fit the description of the criteria, even if it's applied slightly differently in practice sometimes. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:23, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

- WP:PANDORA is not a reason to delete anything, it's a misleadling harmful mix of WP:OTHERSTUFF, WP:CRYSTAL and WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Some all caps redirects are unquestionably useful, others are not. Thryduulf (talk) 19:47, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Not mentioned at the target. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:29, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. It looks like the purpose of this and several other book redirects to the same target is for them to show up under Category:Regnery Publishing books, but then clicking on them brings us to the publisher's article that doesn't have a list or a collection of their best books. Jay 💬 14:34, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- I agree. I wanted to test the waters with this one redirect first, then I figured I might batch nominate the rest after if someone doesn't add a list into the article in response. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:24, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Fyi, A listing of books was removed from the article because such a list was claimed to fail WP:NOTDIRECTORY.GobsPint (talk) 09:45, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

- Retarget to Sonic the Hedgehog#Gameplay, which discusses how items work in respect to its gameplay. Sergecross73 msg me 16:05, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

- Double digest → Restriction digest (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
"Double digest" is better known for being a marketing term used by Archie Comics than as a synonym for restriction digest. In fact, the current redirect target does not mention "double digest". Kinopiko talk 00:34, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete in favour of search results. Someone searching "double digest" intending to find additional information on this type of restriction digest won't be served well by this redirect. Though by DDG search results, at least, I wouldn't say that the use by Archie Comics is more well known/widespread. Therefore, delete and let the user find what they want through search. ― Synpath 15:06, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
