BS Monopoly[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 List of Satellaview broadcasts#Broadcast game list. --BDD (talk) 15:18, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This doesn't appear to be a variant that actually exists. I can't find it on Google and not even the section it links to exists in the article anymore. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 20:37, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Switching to neutral per the comments below. Ivanvector (talk) 15:06, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - This is the translated title of ＢＳモノポリー (BS Monoporī), a Satellaview-exclusive adaptation of the classic Parker Brothers board game. It definitely did exist at one time. In fact it was broadcast December 1995 through February 1996. And it has nothing to do with DotA. It's a little-known title but there are records of it in Satellaview broadcast schedules published in contemporary Famitsu magazines (Japan's best-known video game magazine and definitely considered an RS here). -Thibbs (talk) 21:50, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Blackie (rapper). --BDD (talk) 13:50, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No need for a redirect like this. According to the page history it once referred to a rapper, but any recording artist or celebrity in general can be referred to by a moniker like this, even if it is a popular means of referring to them... and it would just be easier to remove all the spaces and enter it in that way, which I'm pretty sure is not too much to ask. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 20:03, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to Blackie (rapper) (or weak keep). The amount of spaces in between the letters are so unlikely of a typo that they sufficiently serve as disambiguation from the other subjects listed on Blackie (a disambiguation page). Steel1943 (talk) 20:07, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • My rationale was actually that spacing the letters out adds no significance and literally any popular moniker could be treated this way. There's no need for redirects like these. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 20:12, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I understood the purpose of your nomination. Even if the stylization did not refer to any specific topic, I would have said "Keep as harmless". Steel1943 (talk) 20:14, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • My point was that I didn't say it was a typo and it being a typo has nothing to do with my nomination rationale. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 03:52, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Blood mama[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) 13:48, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I can't actually find evidence that this is in use to describe a blood blister. Google failed to return anything to suggest this term actually exists that couldn't have reasonably been caused by Wikipedia having this term on record (in fact, it returned six results, half of which were simply coincidental occurrences of the three words in specific sequences). This redirect was created with the rationale that it's an "old-time name" for the target condition, but I've not found any evidence supporting that notion. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 19:49, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I also can't find any evidence of this connection. Google suggested "bloody mama" but that was no better, and I tried adding "blister" to my search as well but with no luck, other than a miracle cure for herpes simplex. Google says "Blood Mama" is a monster encountered in Silent Hill: Book of Memories but this is not explained in our article. Ivanvector (talk) 21:00, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Bloody Mama as plausible misspelling.--Lenticel (talk) 11:27, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep per WP:SNOW. (non-admin closure) Tavix |  Talk  16:36, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget - to Bart (disambiguation). Acronym is not widely used outside of the Bay Area. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 17:33, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Leave as is "BART" is what everyone calls it, and if someone searches for it in all caps in Wikipedia, that's probably what they're looking for. I can't think of any other name people have for it. The Bay Area Rapid Transit article already has a hatnote for those people who really were looking for something else. —Largo Plazo (talk) 18:57, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. No other subjects on the disambiguation page are known by the acronym. Steel1943 (talk) 19:02, 8 April 2015 (UTC) (Turns out that I didn't see the others. Steel1943 (talk) 14:53, 9 April 2015 (UTC))[reply]
    • There appear to be several that are listed that would be abbreviated to BART (else they would not be on the dab page) -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 05:39, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • The San Francisco train system is overwhelmingly the one people know about and that is written about. The current approach is appropriate. —Largo Plazo (talk) 11:16, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as is. As someone not from the Bay-area, Bay Area Rapid Transit is really the only use of the acronym I think of when I hear it. A cursory skim of the DAB page brings up no others that would be any more primary a topic than the rapid transit system.--kelapstick(bainuu) 20:05, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - it most certainly is widely used. My results could possibly be skewed by transit fandom, but I am certainly not from the Bay Area and it is a well known acronym here. The hatnote at the target page deals with other uses adequately. Ivanvector (talk) 20:41, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - agree that this is a well-known acronym in the US, outside of the Bay Area. Wbm1058 (talk) 01:21, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - it is definitely a well-known acronym outside the Bay Area. -- Imperator3733 (talk) 01:35, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I'm an international visitor to San Francisco from the UK and this is where I went to find out about the BART system Adw2000 (talk) 13:22, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep likewise SLUT Andy Dingley (talk) 14:15, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Will Goodhand[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) 13:09, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Goodhand is mentioned in at least 3 Wikipedia articles and there is no particular reason to send readers directly to this one. He is currently standing for Parliament in Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland, which would seem to be at least as relevant as the fact that he briefly appeared on television a decade ago. Stevvers (talk) 12:36, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Question: based on this revision and his standing for UK Parliament, could we write an article about him? From my quick search it seems that independent coverage is lacking (I'm counting clearly pro-Tory publications as primary for this purpose). Ivanvector (talk) 15:58, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • I know Will personally, so I may not be well placed to judge, but it seems to me that he doesn't (quite) meet the notability criteria. (Obviously this changes if he wins the seat.) Stevvers (talk) 09:43, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

List of ETI posting styles[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 speedy delete by GB fan per speedy deletion criterion R3. Steel1943 (talk) 20:04, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominating mostly out of not knowing what an "ETI posting style" is, and not able to find any useful sources telling me so. In addition to List of fallacies, an IP briefly retargets it to List of mental disorders which Spergerlord reverted. Both target does not contain (part of) the redirect. 野狼院ひさし u/t/c 12:27, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Created as a joke or prank, most likely to insult a person whose initials are ETI who the author of this redirect believes posts many false statements on some social media outlet. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:58, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete based on WikiDan61's hypothesis, which seems likely to me. On the chance that it's true, meaning that the page is basically an attack, I just submitted it for speedy deletion, WP:CSD R3. —Largo Plazo (talk) 14:47, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RFOREIGN; WP:NOTDICT; Cats aren't necessarily Hebrew, they exist pretty much worldwide. Tavix |  Talk  10:44, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete WP:NOTDIC Wikipedia is not a translation dictionary; general topic with no particular affinity for any language -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 11:06, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete WP:NOTDIC, and for good reason. No special relationship between cats and Hebrew: it isn't as though this were an article on matzah. —Largo Plazo (talk) 14:50, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above. Cats are distributed worldwide --Lenticel (talk) 11:26, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Land seal[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. Reminds me of the "Land Sea Lion" discussion. --BDD (talk) 13:02, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This was probably created as a joke redirect, because dogs aren't known as "land seals." Tavix |  Talk  10:28, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 11:07, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - could perhaps refer to the "land sea lion" (which was not a dog) from The Deep South (Futurama) but too far off for a redirect. Ivanvector (talk) 15:48, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I'm sure it's a joke, a pun. A slang term for seals is "sea dogs", so someone thought it would be funny to imply that dogs are called "land seals". —Largo Plazo (talk) 15:56, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • We could theoretically keep it on those grounds, assuming we had the sources to back it up, but since we apparently don't, delete per everyone else so far. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 21:04, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Harbor Seal, it seems that it's a synonym per [1] and [2] Lenticel (talk) 11:35, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • According to your first source, the only mention of "land seal" is the fact that the Icelandic word for "Harbor seal" means "land-seal". I'm not so sure that they are "synonyms" but it's a good find though. Tavix |  Talk  14:37, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. --BDD (talk) 13:00, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No space between the coma and 'I'. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 02:34, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've marked the R as {{R from incorrect punctuation}}, but as always without prejudice to this discussion, would seem just a helpful thing to do do in the interim. Si Trew (talk) 16:33, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Bulleted for you Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 16:38, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per SimonTrew. Skipping a keystroke is a common mistake to make, and skipping the spacebar is no exception. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 16:37, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was procedural close. Such requests should indeed be made at RMTR, but I'll do this one anyway. --BDD (talk) 14:20, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't make any sense for moving it to Ayesha Khan (junior) as there is no disambiguation with this name and moving it to "junior" for no valid reason is baseless. Please revert back this move. UBStalk 02:15, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:REDLINK. It seems to be a comic according to Madman (Image Comics).--Lenticel (talk) 00:34, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:REDLINK to encourage article creation, probably. Ivanvector (talk) 15:44, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Redirects aren't meant to be poetic, they're meant to be practical. The more poetic they are, the less likely it is they're plausible search queries. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist (Speak quickly) (Follow my trail) 19:53, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: it seems that all of these redirects targeting Insanity are due to the Madman comics article originally living at madman with no disambiguator, and the redirects pointing there. When madman became Madman (Image Comics), madman was redirected to insanity, in good faith, and then the bot "fixed" all the resulting double redirects into the nonsense you see above.
