Second Person Shooter Zato

[edit]

This is a redirect to a now deleted piece of content from this article, also "Second Person Shooter Zato" isn't even mentioned at all in the article as of now. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 20:25, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OB(oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide binding)-fold

[edit]

probably won’t be typed Karnataka 19:33, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

note that I haven’t CSD’d this because I have a pending RMTR to move the article from Wikipedia namespace to mainspace Karnataka 19:35, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Related comment: I just updated the redirect's target from Wikipedia:OB-fold to OB-fold (as well as updated this discussion to show the redirect targets OB-fold instead of Wikipedia:OB-fold) to avoid an erroneous WP:G8 speedy deletion. Steel1943 (talk) 19:54, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Brave, the Movie

[edit]

These redirects were the result of moving the page about the 1994 film to the title Brave (film) (which was later redirected to the current target's "Film and television" section)—the first redirect to the second and the second to the "(film)" title. These redirects haven't gotten very many pageviews nowadays, so I'm not 100% sure they're really helpful here. I think we should either delete them, or, if they're kept, refine them to Brave#Film and television, though I'm open to other courses of action if they're suitable. Regards, SONIC678 19:08, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. In 2005, the rule was that a redirect resulting from a page move had to be kept, even if it wasn't particularly useful or logical, for WP:GFDL attribution reasons. That's no longer the rule anymore, and such redirects don't need to be kept anymore if they aren't actually serving an important purpose, which this isn't.

Aero blue

[edit]

There is no mention of Aero blue in the target page. ... discospinster talk 16:40, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It existed when the redirect was created (see [1]), though it was un-cited and a fairly poor description, and the also see seems to point to a fairly different color, so it's not surprising if someone deleted that section (and forgot to look for redirects to it) in the intervening 11 years. :) —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 18:33, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That version linked to Air Force blue, which also does not mention "Aero blue" currently. Plus it's azure, not cyan! So changing the redirect won't help. ... discospinster talk 20:21, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NURALIZA oSMAN

[edit]

Created in error and moved shortly after; we don't need WP:UNNATURAL redirects from titles entered with caps lock activated. 1234qwer1234qwer4 15:42, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Cita

[edit]

This was presumably created for es:Template:Cita, the Spanish Wikipedia's Template:Blockquote equivalent. However, it is also inappropriately used sometimes for it:Template:Cita, which is a citation template. Both of these foreign templates use unnamed parameters, so the difference isn't always noticed. I would suggest that English editors will be confused by this name and not sure what it means. I'm not opposed to foreign-language template redirects in general, but when they are ambiguous, I think they should certainly be removed. Daask (talk) 13:40, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as template disambiguation page. If we delete it, people who copy wikitext for translation from es.WP or it.WP will end up populating Wikipedia:Database reports/Transclusions of non-existent templates, which is undesirable. Let's make it a template disambiguation page that points to {{blockquote}} and {{sfn}}, or whatever the best en.WP matches are. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:50, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If people who copy wikitext for translation from es.WP or it.WP use a template that is ambiguous between those, it is undesirable. I'm not sure there is a big difference between making it transclude a nonexistent and a disambiguated template. 1234qwer1234qwer4 15:17, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as vague. (However, this redirect has transclusions that need to be bypassed prior to deletion.) Steel1943 (talk) 20:45, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Test0

[edit]

This "set" of templates redirects to 6 different user warning templates. These should all redirect to the same set, or be deleted. Current setup is unhelpful. Gonnym (talk) 08:05, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • The "test1a", "test2a" series of warnings was made to customize a message to people who tested in article space by randomly deleting portions of text rather than inserting random words so having the redirect to a separate set of uw-templates was a deliberate choice. While widely used then, I believe the newer templates have become firmly entrenched by the RecentChanges patrol. I have no problem with deprecating or deleting these if they have fallen into disuse.

List of Grand Theft Auto Advance characters

[edit]

No such list or section at target. However, Grand Theft Auto Advance#Setting and characters does exist, but it does not contain a list of characters. (List of Grand Theft Auto Advance characters is a {{R with history}}.) Steel1943 (talk) 22:10, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging Czar since they WP:BLARed List of Grand Theft Auto Advance characters in 2015 [3]. Steel1943 (talk) 12:06, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Restore article? Or simply refine to the "Settings and characters" section of the current target?

Runswick Bay Lifeboat Station

[edit]

The lifeboat at Runswick was always Runswick Lifeboat. It was never Runswick Bay Lifeboat. All information previously contained in Runswick Bay Lifeboat Station has been relocated. I would like the page Runswick Bay Lifeboat Station to be deleted, as it is of no further use, and I believe all links have now been directed to Runswick Lifeboat Station. Ojsyork (talk) 19:27, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Argument for deletion is sound in my view. Tony Holkham (Talk) 20:03, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as a {{R from move}} the article was at this title from 2019 until about 3 weeks ago. There are also multiple sources describing the lifeboat as being at Runswick Bay, including RNLI (the article uses both "Runswick" and "Runswick Bay"), Tees Valley Museums, Art UK and The Nothern Echo. Thryduulf (talk) 01:35, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I understand that the article was created in error at "Runswick Bay Lifeboat Station", and now has been correctly moved to "Runswick Lifeboat Station". But, looking at the redirect afresh, its target is a page about a Lifeboat station in the village of Runswick Bay, and as such I think the redirect is acceptable. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:56, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment/Delete I took some time researching the name of the lifeboat station before renaming the page. All images show 'Runswick Lifeboat' written on the boat, never 'Runswick Bay Lifeboat'. I also referred to old maps, and the village too was always Runswick. Even when the Runswick lifeboat station was closed in 1978, and Staithes reopened, the new station took the name 'Staithes and Runswick' Lifeboat, NOT Staithes and Runswick Bay Lifeboat. The only OLD reference in the area to 'Runswick Bay', was to the Runswick Bay Hotel.
    BUT - it is the case that the village seems to be morphing from Runswick to Runswick Bay. Indeed, the remaining non-RNLI content of the 'Runswick Bay Lifeboat Station' page from which I have split content, has gone to 'Runswick Bay Rescue Boat'. If the place is called Runswick Bay from now on, then it's not my place to argue. The village page on Wikipedia is 'Runswick Bay', but contains a comment that some of the older village signs still say Runswick.
    It is interesting that some of the reasons for KEEP, above, may be as a direct result of an incorrect Wikipedia page. My reason for deletion of 'Runswick Bay Lifeboat Station' page was to try to eliminate more of these errors continuing. Ojsyork (talk) 12:21, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Regardless of whether the term does or doesn't originate with a Wikipedia error (which seems unlikely to be the case for all uses) it is now a plausible search term. Redirects do not need to be correct to be useful. Thryduulf (talk) 12:02, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cow neck

[edit]

Seems like a plausible target for a neck cut of beef also. (Though unfortunately web search results seem to be obscured by misspellings of cowl neck.) 1234qwer1234qwer4 02:43, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The neck cut of beef in itself is not a WP:NOTABLE target. The Cow Neck Peninsula is notable, and moreover is known colloquially simply as "Cow Neck". Best, Castncoot (talk) 03:58, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oc county

[edit]

Search results for this are mostly about Orange County, California. 1234qwer1234qwer4 01:51, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Retarget or disambiguate?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris talk! 05:53, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Disambiguate. Most of the search results that I see are not necessarily to be interpreted as redundant acronyms. Instead they refer to things like the "OC County Government" or "OC County Clerk" meaning the county clerk of Orange County, California with "county clerk" being more-or-less the job title. In this case, these shouldn't be regarded as examples of "OC County" as a subject at all. This could support the target of Ocean County, but given the ambiguity in how these uses could be interpreted, disambiguation seems better. Daask (talk) 15:06, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Predictions of the end of Facebook

[edit]

If a reader typing predictions of t into the search bar (after seeing such an article for Google or Wikipedia) stumbles upon a page like Predictions of the end of X which redirects to X social media platform, they may be given the potentially false impression that the article on X may contain information about such predictions and may end up wasting their time scrolling through the article only to potentially conclude that no such information may be present. Sure, they were "merged" into their respective articles, but their poor usefulness is still a problem. – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 17:38, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Has been added to the target article. Bgsu98 (Talk) 11:12, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and make a redlink at the target so it encourages article creation. Currently it is a self-redirect and has no information other than the country - Hungary. Unfortunately, so is the condition with some (or several) other entries in that list. Jay 💬 18:01, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ragg tuning fork

[edit]

that's apparently some brand that produces tuning forks. not mentioned in the target, doesn't seem like there's anything reliable regarding it cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 14:09, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment, it is a brand but from what I can tell it seems to be one of, if not the, most notable manufacturer of tuning forks with at least two apparently reliable sources discussing it in depth [4] and [5] so there would be no verifiability issues with adding a mention. Whether a mention would be due or not I don't know, but I can't say for certain it wouldn't be. The redirect is getting suprisingly many views (over 100 this year), at least some of those will be because it's linked at rock gong but whether that's responsible for all of them I can't say (if the redirect is deleted that link must be updated). Thryduulf (talk) 14:33, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    weird place to put what's effectively an ad (or mistaking "ragg" as being part of the name), but i won't question it cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 14:54, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
