Byword (example)[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) 13:42, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:RFD#D5 because this is a nonsensical way to disambiguate, especially since it leads to a dab that doesn't include any entries involving the word "example." -- Tavix (talk) 19:41, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - The reason that this exists is because Byword exists. It's clunky because Byword itself is up for deletion. This can't be resolved until that other, earlier case is resolved. I don't like that 'Byword (example)' exists, but the reason it's there is because of ab ambiguity of the term to begin with and the existence of the first disambiguation page to begin with.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: The previous RfD has been resolved, though I'm not sure it sheds any particular light on this discussion.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, BDD (talk) 14:25, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - confusing, nonsense disambiguation. Respectfully, I don't understand CoffeeWithMarkets' explanation of this at all. I don't think this needed to wait on the other RfD but I didn't see it before. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 19:07, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relatively new redirect that presents both WP:SLASH and WP:SUBPAGE issues. Steel1943 (talk) 17:48, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as this title is being used at IMDb, so some readers may search the film by this title. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 19:05, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:NOTCRYSTAL. --Rubbish computer 20:07, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nominator comment: I just realized that this redirect could also be considered an WP:XY ambiguity issue since it could possibly have referred to two other articles in the past: The Bourne Supremacy (film) or The Bourne Ultimatum (film). Steel1943 (talk) 20:10, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • comment. Whether it was ambiguous in the past is irrelevant, what matters is whether it is a plausible search term for a single Wikipedia page now. Thryduulf (talk) 21:18, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment: ... Meaning that if this redirect is kept, it could be a redirect that requires constant maintenance (such as the "Next ... election" redirects). I'm not a fan of these because these constantly require attention to ensure they are updated. Steel1943 (talk) 21:29, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • You mean like hundreds of thousands (at least) of articles uncontroversially do? Thryduulf (talk) 11:33, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
          • I never said I advocate for their deletion, because I don't nor have the desire to do so. I am quite aware of what you just stated, but I still have my opinion. Steel1943 (talk) 19:44, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nominator, because of the subpage issue. Otherwise it's probably harmless. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 18:57, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominating these three redirects for deletion because Penn State has two law schools, Penn State Law and Dickinson Law, both of which share the name of the Penn State Dickinson Schools of Law, so a user could be trying to find Penn State Law, but is redirected to the other school. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wed112 (talk • contribs) 14:04, 17 September 2015‎

We do have to be a bit careful with WP:ENGVAR cos in the Unied Kingom, to graduate means to get a three or four year course from a university, and in America I believe it just means you left high school without totally cocking it up. But I don't think that comes into play here. On BBC on Sunday they have a play for The Go-Between, and I cannot remember the name of the author, I think John someone. Of course I could look it up but am desperately trying not to, trying to remember. The past is another country, they do things differently there. Si Trew (talk) 13:55, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
L. P. Hartley. Totally wrong as usual, then, I was thinking of J. R. Hartley. That one could do with a little scrubbing up. Complete mental block on my part, I even have the book, but was desparately trying not to look it up. Si Trew (talk) 13:57, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Washington College of Law, for the record. --BDD (talk) 13:38, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
