George Welles[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 George Wells. Deryck C. 21:21, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Although Orson's birth name was George (Orson) Welles, I think it's better to retarget this to the DAB at George Wells. Si Trew (talk) 23:07, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support seems logical. I'd consider putting Orson up in the main lists even though the spelling differs. I would habe not guessed he uses the e. Legacypac (talk) 04:55, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I see you've changed the DAB at George Wells to have a "See also" for George Orson Welles instead of George Welles, which makes sense; but to clarify even more I've added "full name of Orson Welles", after it. Si Trew (talk) 06:33, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's not at all logical, it's empirical. Si Trew (talk) 23:22, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sluiced[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) keep per unanimous consensus on the hatnote solution. Deryck C. 12:41, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(Neelix redirect.) 'Retarget' to sluicing, where it is used, whereas it is not at the current target. I've marked it as {{R from verb}}. sluices -> sluice probably doesn't suffer that problem because although it can be both the plural noun and second person form of the verb, it isn't used in either article and someone is unlikely to search that way for sluicing. Si Trew (talk) 22:27, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose you use sluices and sluice gates to sluice material, which is then sluiced through the sluices. I would say that the mining use is the most likely. -- 70.51.45.100 (talk) 04:54, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps, but I think regardless sluice should probably have a hatnote to sluicing. Si Trew (talk) 06:30, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, add a hatnote to sluice for sluicing -- 70.51.45.100 (talk) 03:23, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I added a hatnote. I think this can be speedily closed as keep. Sluicing already had a hatnote back, which I hadn't noticed before. Si Trew (talk) 23:28, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yokeless[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. Deryck C. 21:22, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(Neelix redirect.) This is at the target (once) but only in the etymology, and WP:NOTDIC. Presumably anything without a yoke is yokeless, so either delete it or retarget to yoke or yoke (disambiguation) as {{R from opposite}}. I think it is sometimes used of aircraft controls, but I haven't checked that. Si Trew (talk) 22:02, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment apparently in YASA Motors the Y stands for "yokeless". Other than that we don't have any instances of this word on EN:WP. Si Trew (talk) 22:37, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
They would be Yolkless noodles, but we don't have yolkless either. egg selection -> oocyte selection, but that seems a bit far-fetched as it's to do with selecting eggs for in vitro fertilization and not, for example, to preselect for double-yolked eggs. Is it possible to have a yolkless egg? I suppose it would not be an egg since the common definition of an egg is white + yolk (+shell sometimes). Similarly targeting albumen as being the non-yolk part of the egg would seem a bit abstruse. Si Trew (talk) 06:28, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to the disambiguation page. I think yokeless in motor design refers to the frame in a field coil, to which I have just added a dab link. – Fayenatic London 10:59, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete The problem really is that we don't know what is yokeless, so pointing to a disambiguation page about yokes isn't helpful, because the ultimate target (the thing that doesn't have a yoke) isn't going to be on that page. Mangoe (talk) 18:34, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy deleted by Sphilbrick (talk · contribs). (non-admin closure) -- Tavix (talk) 02:27, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(Neelix redirect) Delete as WP:RFD#D5 nonsense. This is not the Children's Encyclopaedia and after nursery school none of us spells it this way. Unlikely spelling error or typo. Si Trew (talk) 21:50, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Vicci[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 anthroponymbiguated. (non-admin closure) by Si Trew (talk) 23:41, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(Neelix redirect). There's also Vicci Laine. Neither hatnotes the other, although Martinez hatnotes to other spellings of the name. The hatnote would imply that Martinez is commonly known just as "Vicci", but it is not a {{redirect}} hatnote and no internal evidence that that is the case. Neither article has ever been moved.

Probably delete as WP:RFD#D1 per WP:XY, unless one is clearly primary topic; I'm not sure that a DAB with two people would make life easier. Si Trew (talk) 21:01, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete this is why we should not redirct common given names at people who are not widely known by them like Hillary Legacypac (talk) 22:30, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Create an WP:ANTHROPONYMY page listing everyone who has the given name "Vicci." This is common practice and there's no reason there should be an exception in this case. I have one drafted below the redirect. -- Tavix (talk) 02:30, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Convert to whatever it is called that Tavix has drafted (a name page?) Si Trew (talk) 06:18, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Anthroponymify per Tavix. Sideways713 (talk) 15:13, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Youssou[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 name index / keep individual names as discussed. Deryck C. 12:43, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not 100% sure. (Neelix redirect.) Lots of people are called Yussuf or Youssof, but we don't have a name article for these particular variations. We do have an article at Yusuf so that's probably better, but some other variations target Joseph.Legacypac kindly found them and added them below. Si Trew (talk) 20:40, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Thanks; we have a bit of an WP:XY here between Joseph and Yusuf. For added fun, Yusef, Yousaf and Yusif target Joseph in Islam (as does Jusuf but that's perhaps nearer). Si Trew (talk) 20:50, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment None in the nomination has any incoming links beyond this discussion. Stats are well below noise level (<1/day) for all three. I haven't checked links or stats on the others mentioned, which sharpening Occam's Razor I don't intend to nominate right now. Si Trew (talk) 22:13, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have a split !vote:
  • Create a name index for Youssou and Yussuf. There are a few people who have that name. I have created drafts below the respective redirects.
  • Keep Youssof per WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT, it's a typical {{R from given name}} as he's the only notable Youssof. Hatnote to similar names if you think it's necessary. -- Tavix (talk) 02:40, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes guy[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 keep. I'll add a hatnote, though. --BDD (talk) 20:12, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure but perhaps better to target the DAB at Yes man, where it's listed. Si Trew (talk) 18:46, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as is he's the only Yes Guy on the DAB page, so this would be superfluous. Nohomersryan (talk) 17:27, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Yes man. "guy" is a colloquial synonym for "man".—Godsy(TALKCONT) 00:05, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Yes man given it looks like a clear-cut case of having a primary usage CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 13:33, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Meant to note "of having a primary usage while being able to link to the other usages" CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 13:40, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. "Guy" is a synonym of "man", but "yes guy" is not used idiomatically as "yes man" is. Retain existing target as primary topic. Deryck C. 19:57, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Yes man ≠ Yes guy. Someone searching "Yes guy" will more often than not want an exact match and the Simpsons character is the only exact match. -- Tavix (talk) 04:27, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Poochie, as with the other discussion. --BDD (talk) 15:47, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 April 7#Poochie dog. Same target. Si Trew (talk) 18:39, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I feel that this should be kept. Many people remember Poochy from the Simpsons and may type this in.Ilikeguys21 (talk) 13:36, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Poochy is not the character from The Simpsons; it's a redirect to the DAB page Poochie, as anyone typing it in and then clicking "search" will find out. The character actually has its own redirect Poochie (The Simpsons), and is listed on that DAB. Si Trew (talk) 20:26, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Poochy (Power Instinct)[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 both. Deryck C. 12:27, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:RFD#D2 confusing, not at target. See also Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion#/Log/2016_April_7#Poochie_dog. This is on the DAB at Poochie. Hits below noise level; the first was an article before being turned into a redirect on 1 July 2007 by User:TTN. No links in article space other than the DAB. The second is an {{R from move}} from the first on 20 April 2007, before it became an R itself. Si Trew (talk) 18:18, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The first of these (that was an article until July 2007) is fully protected so I've left the RfD note on the talk page. I can't find any discussion of why this was protected, or by whom. Si Trew (talk) 18:22, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Not even a casual mention of a Poochie / Poochy character at Power Instinct article. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:03, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
