This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on October 20, 2017.

Wikipedia:LTA/VXFC[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. (non-admin closure) feminist 13:09, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DENY, along with all the other LTA redirects to case pages. The LTA page exists to actually aid us in documenting Vote X for Change and informs users upon this user, so they can detect her socks better. These redirects though give too much recognition to the persons involved in these cases, with no other benefit than it's a little easier to get to quickly. Sorry folks, you're gonna have to write out the full name. I should note that an RfD of a similar redirect happened in 2009, with consensus to delete --Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2009_July_5#WP:GRAWP. My name isnotdave (talk/contribs) 20:19, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Steel1943: Indeed someone needs to help me with tagging and informing. I've just realised that trying to tag some of these redirects to this discussion has royally screwed up -- it won't link to this discussion because it automatically assumes that the discussion in today (Oct 21). Same with me, I nominated this before bedtime My name isnotdave (talk/contribs) 07:28, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - clearly useful. Aside from being shortcuts frequently used in discussions (which could be bypassed) they are also used and continue to be used in block logs, which cannot be altered to bypass the redirect. A redlink in a block log like "long term abuse, WP:LTA/Fangusu" is obvious enough, but one like "WP:LTA/NDC" is basically useless unless you're already familiar with the case. As for DENY: deleting these redirects makes it somewhat more difficult to deal with the long-term abuse cases while doing pretty much nothing to reduce their visibility and damage on the project. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:41, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Ivanvector as useful. I'll also note that two of the delete !votes at the RFD cited in the nomination statement explicitly supported redirects prefixed by "WP:LTA" or "WP:Long term abuse" which is analogous to the case here. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 02:20, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I wish I could WP:DENY this person to the nether reaches of Tartaros, but recognition is there, be it ever so herostratic, and the shortcut is definitely useful. Favonian (talk) 18:09, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Salary cap fantasy[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. -- Tavix (talk) 15:58, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Salary caps are not uncommon in fantasy sports, but they're also not a very notable feature on their own. Indeed, they're not mentioned at the target article. The syntax of this redirect is odd too, as though someone is fantasizing about salary caps or otherwise engaging in a fantasy about the caps themselves rather than the sport.

The result of the discussion was delete. -- Tavix (talk) 15:57, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This previously deleted SPA article was created with the rationale "redirect to founder"- Tony Curtis, which is obviously not true. Given that there is a draft for this article in the creator's sandbox and the previous COI history of this article, I believe that the true purpose of this redirect is to be used as part of a 'redirect and expand' strategy. jcc (tea and biscuits) 20:09, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Non-notable music agency. Mentioned briefly in random news. [1] [2] but these are for non-notable bands in Middle East and Asia. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:58, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Resubmitting on behalf of Goveganplease. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:47, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • This redirect has no purpose, considering that no other countries have a similar redirect. Goveganplease (talk) 14:03, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think we could use such articles, about urban life in various countries, but it's not an area we explicitly cover in most cases. (I suspect one could learn a great deal about urban life in a given country by reading given collections of articles.) If Australia had a section at Urban culture, that might be a start, and could be a target for such a redirect. --BDD (talk) 21:25, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned in target article. Steel1943 (talk) 16:29, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a video game designer. While he did indeed work on this game, it is not the only one. For example, he appears to have been lead designer for Spider-Man 2 (video game). A redlink would serve readers better than the current redirect, and it also encourages article creation assuming he's notable enough. Xezbeth (talk) 12:05, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom, but also remove redlink from the Spider-Man 2 game as there's nothing in the article that details his design work for that game. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:05, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Wikipedia. With a hatnote to List of encyclopedias. Anarchyte (work | talk) 07:21, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"The Free Encyclopedia" refers to a single encyclopedia, so redirecting this to a general article about encyclopedias is not helpful. feminist 10:07, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lists of ancient doctors[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 ancient doctors (full rationale provided in the discussion below). While I realize the nominator's rationale isn't satiated by the creation of this list, looking at this discussion impartially leads me to believe there won't be consensus to delete this redirect. Therefore, keeping this open any further seems pointless to me. -- Tavix (talk) 01:11, 22 October 2017

The target page contains only one somewhat WP:PRECISE list. (Note: This redirect is a {{R with history}}.) Steel1943 (talk) 06:33, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget per above. Thryduulf (talk) 10:55, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Suggesting that Wikipedia has multiple lists of this nature is misleading. -- Tavix (talk) 23:46, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget per Thryduulf as closest topic match. Deryck C. 15:23, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

List of ancient doctors[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 list created at List of ancient doctors, with the other redirects being retargeted there. After being open for almost two months now and several relists, we've argued between two options, both of which are sub-optimal for various reasons. The obvious solution is to create a list of ancient doctors, and I have done just that. As far as I can tell, this solution should satiate all parties. As always, please contact me if there are any concerns. -- Tavix (talk) 01:05, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The target pages does not encompass all "ancient" medics/doctors. Steel1943 (talk) 06:37, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to Category:Ancient physicians. We don't have a list of all ancient doctors but we do have this category, which includes the present target, which is better than deletion imo. Thryduulf (talk) 10:54, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete since there is not a list of this type. Note that doctor and physician aren't synonymous. -- Tavix (talk) 23:44, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I stand by my suggestion to retarget. Any confusion between physicians, surgeons, etc can be handled by hatnotes and/or the category introduction if/when there are relevant categories or lists we can point to. At present it seems they are all present in the one category. Thryduulf (talk) 10:59, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
