Emu and the jabiru[edit]

The result of the discussion was procedural close. Thanks, Ivanvector. I'll go ahead and move it. --BDD (talk) 16:06, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

With respect, this was a very poor redirect decision. This started as a one-sentence stub on an Australian Aboriginal myth. I assumed from the title it was going to be a comparison of emus and jabirus, so that's WP:ASTONISH/WP:XY. "Jabiru" in this case seems to refer to Black-necked stork, which does mention an Aboriginal myth, but nothing about emus. BDD (talk) 19:27, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Restore article and improve. At a cursory glance this should have passed WP:A7, the most over-applied and misunderstood of our speedy criteria. It's a notable myth. I'll see what I can do with it. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:29, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Okay I did some work on it. It could use more analysis if anyone can find a source that isn't paywalled, and attention from an expert in Australian Aboriginal topics. But I think it's a decent stub now. If kept, this should be moved to Emu and the Jabiru per MOS:CAPS. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 16:02, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) sst✈(conjugate) 13:38, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Like rivers and parks, the singular implies the existence of an island by this name. Legacypac (talk) 18:08, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Sure, it's erroneous, but it's not ambiguous. Steel1943 (talk) 18:14, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment there's also United States Virgin Island. And British Virgin Island. And, less plausibly, Us virgin island, USA Virgin Island, and Special:prefixIndex/Virgin Island of the. And that's just the singular stuff. 58.176.246.42 (talk) 18:44, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The singular might also imply a sticky S key. By the way, which U.S. Virgin Island is the largest? Bosley John Bosley (talk) 19:36, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, the difference between the two is that there is a next-to-nothing chance of another unrelated island being named "United States Virgin Island." For attestation purposes, reference #37 in the target article is about a "Virgin Island Vacation Guide" and BJB gave another informal example of usage (although a sticky key would produce: "U.. Virgin Iland"). -- Tavix (talk) 23:25, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I think this can be a honest misspelling --Lenticel (talk) 01:14, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Not particularly different from New York Yankee. When the title is plural, it's reasonable for someone to search for a singular form (A: "what's that place south of Great Thatch?" B: "That's a U.S. Virgin Island"), and that's why we have {{R from singular}}. Nyttend (talk) 01:35, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Redirects for pluralization errors are not merely allowed but encouraged. Rossami (talk) 02:59, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep - Plausible redirect due to forgetting the "s" on "Islands." — Jkudlick • t • c • s 12:57, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - There's a good reason why {{R from singular}} exists. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 09:34, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dearling[edit]

The result of the discussion was delete the first four, retarget Dearly to Max Dearly. --BDD (talk) 14:38, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Very vague Neelix redirects Legacypac (talk) 10:14, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, WP:RFD#D5 nonsense, there is no way calling someone "dear[ie]" implies an intimate relationship. I don't know if "intimacy" still means "having sex", but it used to be a euphemism (at least in UK news reporting) for that. Intimacy redirects to this same target, I could probably write a short RS'd article there about its use in this sense. We have a DAB at Intimacy (disambiguation); I'll list that separately. Si Trew (talk) 05:08, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget the first two to Term of endearment. Perhaps send the others to Dear? Nyttend (talk) 06:16, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've never heard the first used. Dearly - dearly beloved we are gathered... Or She will pay dearly for that mistake. So I'm not sure dearly is a term of endurement always. Legacypac (talk) 06:36, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Haha, no, marriage is a term of endurement. Si Trew (talk) 06:44, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget dearies to dearie (disambiguation); delete all others.
    • "Dearling" can be either an obscure alternative to "darling", or the name of several people mentioned on Wikipedia but do not have articles yet. Music writer Robert Dearling is a redlink with possibilities. Delete to reveal search results for readers.
    • "Dearness", "Dearly", or "Dearer" can refer to either sense of the word "dear" - close relationship, or expensive. Delete as WP:XY. --Deryck C. 23:17, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • WP:XY isn't relevant, that's for when a title refers to more than one topic with separate articles, rather than ambiguity for which WP:Disambiguation is used (although in this case they are ambiguous but there are no articles for either of the uses. Peter James (talk) 23:14, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, BDD (talk) 16:20, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete all I'm just not seeing keeping any of these Neelix-generated "trap every search" implausibilities. Even "dearies" is weak considering that the disambig of for things that aren't generally going to show up in the plural. Mangoe (talk) 17:35, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all per Si. Too broad a term for too specific a target. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 21:09, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect Dearies to Dearie - it can at least refer to people with the surname Dearie. Delete Dearling, Dearness and Dearer - no likely article for these. Redirect Dearly to Max Dearly as a {{R from surname}}. Peter James (talk) 23:14, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The fiftieth day[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. Sigh. Yet more administrative time wasted because of marginal-value redirects created by a certain user. wbm1058 (talk) 17:18, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

While this is the translated meaning of the target, it seems like a really vague search term. The fifth day of what? Christmas, life, school, anything! Legacypac (talk) 07:12, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Celebrated on the "sixth day of the Hebrew month of Sivan " ? Legacypac (talk) 01:06, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. "Pentecost" and the names of this Christian festival in other languages are all phonetic translations of the Greek name meaning "fiftieth day", or a semantic translation thereof. Until there is another notable topic that is literally known as "(the) fiftieth day", Pentecost stands unambiguously as the appropriate primary topic. Deryck C. 22:45, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, BDD (talk) 16:18, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The fiftieth day of what? On the fiftieth day following the Feast of First Fruits (Bikkurim) is the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot) or Pentecost (Leviticus [Vayikra] 23:15–21) Bosley John Bosley (talk) 17:30, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:XY. I know that "Pentecost" literally means the fiftieth day, but I don't think it is the primary topic here. This could also refer to February 19, the 50th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar; it could refer to Shavuot, the 50th day of the Omer; or it could refer to Sigd, an Ethiopian celebration that occurs 50 days after Yom Kippur. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 18:24, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or disambiguate per NCFF. I also found Quinquagesima which could fit that definition. -- Tavix (talk) 01:37, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete Clearly there are things that are the 50th day of something, but I don't think it's been demonstrated that this is a likely search term for any of them. I was raised Christian and considered the ministry when I was younger, but I wouldn't recognize these phrases as referring to Pentecost, any more than I would something like The coming for Advent or Striking appearance for Epiphany. And it looks like "Pentecost" really just means "fiftieth" anyway. --BDD (talk) 14:35, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
These things are the stuff of quiz questions: "What would The coming/Striking appearance/The fiftieth day mean to a Christian?" Granted this is more University Challenge/"Mastermind" Specialist round than bullseye...but just because something is obscure it does not mean it is useless. Bosley John Bosley (talk) 00:01, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. I find it difficult to imagine a reader who knows of this meaning but would not know to check Pentecost first. So I'm skeptical both that many readers would actually search for these terms, and that we can predict with much accuracy what they'd be looking for if they did. --BDD (talk) 15:32, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Vague term, per XY. --Regards, James(talk/contribs) 05:02, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I noticed that the discussions for February 8 are no longer appearing in the complete list at WP:RfD, and I'm worried that this discussion may have slipped through the cracks. If there are any uninvolved admins watching this page, can you please close or realist this discussion? Thanks in advance for your help. Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 01:14, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

2015 / Regression[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. The slash is used in non-article namespaces to create subpages and is only used in article or redirect titles where the title is correct. Deryck C. 21:23, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is bizarre formatting, and I can't imagine why anyone would search for a film this way. -- Tavix (talk) 15:21, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cut and Paste from Putlocker Bosley John Bosley (talk) 16:55, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That's not the name of the film, it's showing two categories on one line, separated by a slash. That's why that says "released" on that line. -- Tavix (talk) 19:36, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I know...I'm moderately intelligent...you wished to know why anyone would search for a film this way. Bosley John Bosley (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:47, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
...and yet that didn't answer my question. I would've assumed someone with moderate intelligence would know that "2015 / Regression" is not a plausible way to search for a film. -- Tavix (talk) 20:01, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You did not ask a question; you made a statement. Bosley John Bosley (talk) 20:16, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I guess I'll make it more explicit then: Why do you expect other people to search for a film in this manner? -- Tavix (talk) 23:19, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

US ^^[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. I think the consensus below is best summarised as "yes it's an obvious typo, but no it's not helpful to have this redirect". Deryck C. 21:51, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as an obscure typo, it seems unlikely to forget to un-shift for that long. In external searches that omit the ^s, this is actually a search for the United States, making this more trouble than it's worth. -- Tavix (talk) 14:22, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Intuitive redirect. Please switch off all the lights and take your laptop to bed. Bosley John Bosley (talk) 18:04, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep shift error, such as a stuck shift key -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 04:43, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - People sometimes forget to release the shift key when typing, or it could be sticky. For example, while I abbreviate World War 2 as WWII, some people abbreviate it as WW@. Oops, I mean WW2. — Jkudlick • t • c • s 13:02, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:RFD#D2, not at target. The above case for typo assumes that the caret ^ is shift-six, which it is not an all keyboard layouts. So it could be a typo for something else entirely. Si Trew (talk) 02:00, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete this and others that are only typing errors and not misspellings, people would notice they had made an error and would try again with the correct name. If not should we have hatnotes on US 55 and US 77? When checking these I typed "US %5" for the first, so these (any many more) are plausible errors but obviously errors. If this is kept, maybe others such as A%!)£ are needed. Peter James (talk) 23:28, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete before we have to keep crap like US !)!, US ##, and Interstate (%. --Rschen7754 02:32, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Peter James. I've been itching to create wp;ani for a long time now. And not every keyboard produces a caret when they push shift-6. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 12:27, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Do not need a redirect for a typo. Dough4872 21:30, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. R2, as well as pretty much everything every other delete !vote has said. --Regards, James(talk/contribs) 00:02, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Hustler (disambiguation)#Professions. Deryck C. 21:22, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Witionary lists: hustler ‎(plural hustlers) 1. One who hustles: especially somebody who pretends to be an amateur at a game in order to win bets. 2. pimp. 3.A prostitute. 4. A male prostitute who sells his services to men.

So this could refer to at least #3 and #4 and maybe #2. Legacypac (talk) 06:28, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Should we put the Russian? version of every name in Wikipedia? Legacypac (talk) 02:33, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete given the outcome at the RFD on the Latin-alphabet version of this. We don't have any useful target for this particular patronymic (current target doesn't mention it, no one uses it as a surname, and we don't do set-indices on "middle" names), so search results are the best thing we can offer. 58.176.246.42 (talk) 02:58, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I was going to suggest retargeting it to Eastern Slavic naming customs, as it makes sense, but this string of characters doesn't appear there (Миха́йл appears only in the section for first names), so redirecting this there would confuse someone not familiar with it. Nyttend (talk) 00:39, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A redirect created for an unreleased video game adaptation of Akira, which appears to be speculative information. After doing research on the game via Google (there were only promotional posters on the web which also appear to be false information) and going through this difference on the film page, I believe that it is reasonable enough to say that not only that there are no notability via significant coverage by third-party reliable sources to cover this information, but it fails the general notability guideline and the no original research policy, as well as the crystal ball section of What Wikipedia is not.

  • The video game is not mentioned in the manga's article, so the redirect is practically useless. If we have no sources, there's no reason to mention it and redirect it. Delete ~Mable (chat) 07:54, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is a real thing, but the teams are formed from 6 different police forces, of which the Alberta Sheriff is likely the last ones to be called in (sheriffs in Alberta are quite different then the American versions). Mentioned at target, and linked to the redirect creating a loop. Delete to encourage article creation? Legacypac (talk) 00:16, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
