March 20[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on March 20, 2016.

Yahoo.cm[edit]

Relisted, see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 April 5#Yahoo.cm

Yahoo.c[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 first two, keep the third with no prejudice against speedy renomination. (For the record, no, it's not a valid URL.) --BDD (talk) 16:34, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 November 28#Wwwmyspace.com: " misspellings involving websites that aren't owned by the target are more harmful than helpful. These can be owned by domain parkers or other malicious sites and it is not something that we should be promoting." -- Tavix (talk) 22:08, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment is "Yahoo!.com" even a valid address? If not, then the reason for deletion does not apply, and {{R from typo}} does apply, since it is a similar character off, and that character is used in the logo as "Yahoo!" and plugging in a ".com" -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 06:14, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Yahoo!.com as a valid erroneous name for the company's web page since "Yahoo!" is the name of the company. I'm neutral on the rest. Steel1943 (talk) 23:37, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why is water green[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. We can, however, tell you why the sun shines. --BDD (talk) 20:58, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if this is a plausible redirect, or if it has any encyclopaedic purpose. It was originally an article about algae and water. Adam9007 (talk) 16:16, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I question whether there should be redirects in the form of a question in this encyclopedia, but there are already a fair number of them floating around (no pun intended). Consequently, I think we should retarget this to Ocean color, which explains: "phytoplankton [in the ocean] preferentially absorb the red and blue portions of the light spectrum and reflect green light." -- Notecardforfree (talk) 16:56, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That wouldn't be a good idea, as there can be green water that's not ocean water: ponds, rivers—even artificially like the Chicago River this time of year. -- Tavix (talk) 17:10, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I've tossed this around my mind and, upon further reflection, I think deletion is the way to go here. Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 17:18, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:NOTFAQ, compounded by the fact that there isn't a perfect target that addresses the question. -- Tavix (talk) 17:20, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Tavix.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 23:50, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Tavix. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 04:34, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete wP:NOTFAQ] -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 06:15, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - we did previously determine that redirects from questions of this sort are acceptable if the target provides a definitive answer to the question. This one does not, and we don't have a better target without creating a Q&A-like article. For one, not all water appears green, and even if it does there are many reasons why that might be the case. Delete per WP:XY then. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 17:37, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above --Lenticel (talk) 00:27, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - This seems like a 'snowball close' case. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 04:20, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Amy Brett[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, G8. Lenticel (talk) 01:09, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable artiste; link is to non-notable song which is at AfD TheLongTone (talk) 14:02, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Moot: TheLongTone, if the song gets deleted, all redirects to that article will automatically be deleted per WP:G8. You don't have to take this redirect to RFD since it'll share the same fate as the song. -- Tavix (talk) 17:16, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Marxist culture[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. I note that there may be a real topic here, though. Marxist archaeology and Socialist realism both touch on the intersection of Marxism and culture. --BDD (talk) 00:07, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Most sources mentioning Marxist culture do not identify it with Cultural Marxism - this seems to be either pov or confusion by an editor who has made a lot of redirects that are not always appropriate Doug Weller talk 10:02, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Creator of this redirect now blocked both as NOTHERE and as a sock. Doug Weller talk 21:22, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete WP:G5. The creator is a sock of Bozo33, and blocked users are not allowed to contribute. -- Tavix (talk) 22:10, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ruiqi Zhang[edit]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 20:57, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Ruiqi Zhang" is obviously a personal name, and I don't see how it can be redirected to that page. I also don't see that person's name on the page (I did find a "Zhangjue Ruiqi") Timmyshin (talk) 03:55, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jordan,Michael[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. Though a majority of voters favored deletion, the continued hits and the fact that the redirect only has one error (missing space) make the keep voters' arguments stronger. Identifying external links is always going to be difficult, but perhaps another site is linking to this and can be corrected? --BDD (talk) 16:32, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unlikely search term or spelling error. Note there already exists another redirect at Jordan, Michael. 1985Chapa (talk) 03:37, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as implausible. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 17:08, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Anyone looking for Michael Jordan will have the common sense to correct their spelling. Colonel Wilhelm Klink (Complaints|Mistakes) 01:40, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete If you are going to make the mistake of searching last name first, we expect that you do so with correct spacing.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:24, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete I say 'weak' because I can imagine someone typing this, but if we had a whole bunch of these, I would go "weak keep". - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 04:37, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep - this redirect averages 15 hits per day over the last 90 (which incidentally is several times more than Jordan, Michael). It's being used by someone, and it points at the correct target. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 17:38, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Ivanvector. It's now at 11/day but it's obviously being used, so it's helpful. -- Tavix (talk) 18:46, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Caety Sagoian[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. –Davey2010Talk 13:15, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Caety Sagoian is the voice actor for fictional character Bowser Jr., but that's basically it. She is not discussed in the article in any way, thus bringing potential confusion, and there's no sense in redirecting a BLP to a fictional character. Satellizer (´ ･ ω ･ `) 00:38, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of video game-related deletion discussions. (G·N·B·S·RS·Talk) Satellizer (´ ･ ω ･ `) 00:44, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - per nom. Sergecross73 msg me 00:47, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I cannot see any other mention on Wiki that isn't in the context of Bowser Jr. and since this person is likely not notable the current target seems fair. MelanieLamont (talk) 17:18, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - this redirect provides readers with information which is not incorrect. I don't think this is a BLP issue. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 17:44, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the similar discussion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 December 24#Kenny W. James. If this is the voice actor's only notable credit and the subject of the redirect may not be notable themselves, the connect makes sense. Steel1943 (talk) 23:41, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep She's mentioned in the article's infobox, so I don't see any confusion issue. Meters (talk) 22:53, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. --BDD (talk) 20:55, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deanna Mustard is the voice actor for fictional character Princess Daisy, but that's basically it. She is not discussed in the article in any way, thus bringing potential confusion, and there's no sense in redirecting a BLP to a fictional character. Satellizer (´ ･ ω ･ `) 00:35, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
