- PlayStation 4 launch, retail configurations and pricing → PlayStation 4 (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Implausibly long redirect name. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:09, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Business solution[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.
- Business solution → Solution selling (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This is much broader topic than just Solution seling Arthistorian1977 (talk) 14:10, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- One could also argue that it is a oft-nailed-to-the-wall-pudding. Give me a hint, please, where to find a definition that goes beyond marketing blurb. -- Kku (talk) 14:12, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment Are there any articles that might work better? Like Business analysis? It seems to use the word solutions a lot. General searches point to a bunch of companies. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:06, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete - This is so vague that it could apply to a number of different pages that we already have, from 'Business analysis' to 'Business intelligence' to 'Operations research' and so on. I'd rather that we just get rid of this. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 00:56, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, -- Tavix (talk) 14:56, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
Relisting comment: Note: There are many articles/companies with "business solution" in their name
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ~ Amory (u • t • c) 21:24, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete a wildly vague term. Let search provide the answer. Legacypac (talk) 01:51, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete - pointlessly vague marketing-speak; ranked poorly in Forbes' Most Annoying Business Jargon bracket. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:53, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page.
Proud Sponsor[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.
- Proud Sponsor → Underwriting (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Proud Sponsors → Underwriting (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Shouldn't this recently created redirect go to Sponsor (commercial)? The Underwriting article doesn't discuss "proud sponsor" as a term. Also bizarre that sponsor is capitalized. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:30, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete both due to potential for POV/PROMO issues. However I agree that sponsor in this sense is commercial, not as in the usage in the insurance industry. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:56, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete both - Neither of these seem worth keeping. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 22:05, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete per above --Lenticel (talk) 13:31, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page.
Aziz Pahrudinov[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.
- Aziz Pahrudinov → The Ultimate Fighter: Undefeated (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Proposing deletion. It seems the redirect was presumptuously created based on faulty information. In the announcement of the cast of The Ultimate Fighter: Undefeated, subject of the redirect was not listed as a contestant. If Aziz Pahrudinov is part of the program at all, it is likely only in the preliminary "fight-in" round, which I do not believe would garner significant enough coverage in the target article to merit a redirect. Dancter (talk) 17:53, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

New Mexico black bear[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.
- New Mexico black bear → American black bear (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Very implausible typo, originally redirected to North American jaguar#Ecology, which made no sense at all. Kleuske (talk) 17:46, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
Delete- it's not a 'typo', but there is no such thing as a New Mexico black bear, and there are no sources referring to any such phrase. Just because there are in fact black bears in New Mexico does not mean this redirect should exist. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 17:52, 7 February 2018 (UTC)- Speedy Keep - it IS in fact a subspecies of the black bear, so there can be no discussion here, not really. --‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 18:03, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- @El cid, el campeador: I'm curious what you are basing your claim on. The target lists Ursus americanus amblyceps as a subspecies of the American black bear, with "New Mexico black bear" being the common name. -- Tavix (talk) 17:57, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Tavix: a google search of "New Mexico Black Bear". It turns out I erred, though. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 18:03, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Initially, these were dead links on the page American black bear, and I believe that self-links like those should be avoided, so I thought of redirecting them to another page that had information about American black bears on the border-region between Mexico and the United States of America, but anyways, I removed the current self-links in American black bear, and I agree that these can be redirects to that page.

Arisen (Björk song)[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) Galobtter (pingó mió) 06:31, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
- Arisen (Björk song) → Utopia (Björk album) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
No such song at target, discography or main page for Bjork. There is a song called 'Arisen My Senses' but that is already covered as a redirect and will more than suffice as an active redirect. Further alternatives are not helping. Richhoncho (talk) 16:07, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- I created the redirect when "Arisen" was listed as a track name, but you have my permission to delete if not helpful. Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:25, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Keep - a sensible short name that is not hurting in any way either. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:09, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Keep Close enough to be useful. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 16:17, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page.
Latino/a[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 Latinx. Per below, if someone is searching for a term with the slash in it, they're likely cognizant of and interested in the discussion around such terms. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 02:18, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
- Latino/a → Hispanic and Latino Americans (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Latinos/as → Hispanic and Latino Americans (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Should these be kept as is or retargeted to Latinx? I think it depends on whether you read that slash as "and" (keep as it) or "or" (retarget). Consider me neutral for now; I just thought it should be brought up. --BDD (talk) 14:38, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Retarget Latino/a to Latinx and add hatnote if they are looking for Latino in general. Include Latina/o The o/a suffix used in publications [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Delete plural as not used in news articles as such. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:38, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- I also support a retarget change so that they both go to Latinx. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 09:15, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Retarget to Latinx, seems to be the best plausible target per above --Lenticel (talk) 13:32, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page.
Portal:WoW[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. It was a redirect to Portal:World of Warcraft, which was deleted at MfD. By rights this should've been WP:CSD#G8 deleted right then, but it the target was recreated as redirect to mainspace. While that was eventually G4 deleted, there as enough time for the bot to fix the double redirect. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 15:26, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Portal:WoW → World of Warcraft (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Unclear what this means, not mentioned in article. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 14:05, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page.
WoWing[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.
Article doesn't mention what this actually means. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 14:04, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
Comment: I believe it's meant as a verb, i.e. "World of Warcraft-ing". ~ Amory (u • t • c) 15:28, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Keep used briefly on CNET news: [6] and Christian Science Monitor [7] at different time periods. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:45, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete- any noun can be made into a verb by adding 'ing' to the end. It does not follow that WP should act as a depository for those words. What good would having 'WoWing' as a redirect serve? Certainly none. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 17:53, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete not helpful fake word. Legacypac (talk) 02:52, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete - I really don't like the precedent that any name of something can have an "-ing" added on to the end and still be treated as if it's a real word. Even if that does sound pedantic of me, I suppose, there's still the fundamental question of whether or not this redirect is helpful. I don't think that it is. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 08:38, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page.
Pre-BC[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.
- Pre-BC → World of Warcraft (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Pre-tBC → World of Warcraft (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Abbreviation is not mentioned in the article. I am guessing it refers to "Pre Burning Crusade", but this is given no explanation so it is just a misleading redirect. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 14:02, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- I could easily see the first as a search term for what preceded BC (or BCE). At some point, you'd just say so many "million years ago" instead of, like, "65 million BC", but if you're reckoning time in terms of BC, I think there is no before. --BDD (talk) 16:08, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete could also refer to any BC, be it the B.C. time period, British Columbia, Breeders Cup, Blizzcon, Boston College. [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] Pre-TBC seems to be closer to World of Warcraft, but if it that stays, it needs a description in the article. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:49, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete as confusing at best --Lenticel (talk) 01:19, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete as vague. Steel1943 (talk) 12:46, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

No longer mentioned in target article. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 13:55, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Comment seems to be a Server emulator like Scapegaming [14] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:59, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Ylo[edit]

- The result of the discussion was disambiguate. Much obliged to 59.149.124.29 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) ~ Amory (u • t • c) 13:54, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
This redirect formerly targeted the subject at Ilo, Peru, but it's not mentioned there either. Steel1943 (talk) 13:46, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Disambiguate for Naruo language (ISO 639:ylo), Yellow Pages Limited (former ticker symbol), and Ilo, Peru (I restored a sourced passage that older sources call it Ylo, which was deleted without explanation in 2009). 59.149.124.29 (talk) 14:04, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Dabify per anon --Lenticel (talk) 00:04, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Dabify. Sufficiently different from Ilo that a merge would be unhelpful. Cross-refer Ilo to Ylo (disambiguation). Narky Blert (talk) 12:14, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was delete. Per others similarly created ~ Amory (u • t • c) 16:16, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
- Emotions (Chris Brown song) → Heartbreak on a Full Moon (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
No reference to a song of this name on the album, the discography or the artist page of Chris Brown. Richhoncho (talk) 13:26, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- I created the redirect when more tracks were listed in the article, but you have my permission to delete if not helpful. Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:25, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was retarget to PlayStation 3 system software. (non-admin closure) feminist (talk) 12:04, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
Not mentioned in target article. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 06:31, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Retarget to PlayStation 3 system software? Not perfect (I think this is also a PS4 lib), but it is described there. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 12:44, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Retarget as above. It is also mentioned in List of rendering APIs and seems to be PS3 specific as according to that article, there's LibGNM for PS4 and LibGXM for PS Vita. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:28, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Ps3d[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.
Not mentioned in article. Overly vague and could refer to other things (like Photoshop's 3D editing tools for example) ZXCVBNM (TALK) 06:29, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete I don't see any primary topic articles that could claim this moniker. Some non-notable business claims they have the trademark for PS3D. [15] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:02, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete - As stated above, this term seems to be associated with a variety of entities. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 22:07, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was delete. Unlikely search term given the (r). As a note, MOS:TMRULES refers to article titles and text, but is mum on redirects to articles. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 01:52, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
- PLAYSTATION(r)3 → PlayStation 3 (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
The combination of all caps and the (r) make it seem like an implausible search term. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 06:28, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete MOS:TMRULES AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:42, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

- PLAYSTATION®3 → PlayStation 3 (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

No such console exists or is mentioned in target article. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 06:23, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
Weak keep as a possible {{R from incorrect name}} for the "PlayStation 3 Slim". Steel1943 (talk) 23:58, 14 February 2018 (UTC)- Disregard this. I've been looking through third-party engines for a bit, and cannot find this correlation even in old news results. In fact, when looking up "Ps3 lite", I primarily receive results for some sort of 2018 soccer/football game released for the PS3 which includes the word "LITE" in its title. So, delete as the redirect potentially obscures search results with its existence. Steel1943 (talk) 17:30, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

No bag mentioned in target article. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 06:22, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete not listed in PlayStation 3 accessories either. No articles discussing packaging or a carrying case for the product. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:31, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete as not mentioned, and thus not identified. Anyone attempting to look up information for this subject will find nothing to answer their question about what this is. Steel1943 (talk) 12:48, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Violates WP:NPOV by being a derogatory nickname that isn't commonly used. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 06:20, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Not used in news articles. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:16, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Delete per WP:CRYSTALBALL. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 06:18, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Comment I have no strong opinion about the matter, but I should note that PlayStation 9 currently redirects to PlayStation#Slogans, and was previously discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PlayStation 9. Dancter (talk) 18:04, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Redirect makes no sense, as there are no other redirects for the other buttons, and disambiguation is capitalized wrong. Highly implausible. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 06:14, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Weak retarget to DualShock and move redirect to either R2 (controller button) or R2 (button). AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:38, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. If a new redirect at a different title needs to be created, it can be created sans the edit history of this redirect. Steel1943 (talk) 16:51, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

I recommend deletion of this redirect per the second reason for deletion at WP:RFD#DELETE: The redirect might cause confusion. "Bias towards the north and against south" is relevant to many geographic areas, not only to the target. The redirect was created within the last month, so deletion should not cause any problems.

- Comment I've added one other redirect that varies only grammatically. -- Tavix (talk) 16:50, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete both unlikely search term and unclear link between target and redirects. Ajf773 (talk) 17:35, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
Delete bothRetarget to North-South divide I suppose there's an argument for a weak retarget to North-south bias in South-up map orientation too. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:53, 30 January 2018 (UTC) updated 16:48, 7 February 2018 (UTC)- Retarget both to North–South divide. While AngusWOOF's South-up map orientation is immediately what I thought of (thanks, West Wing), I think North-South divide is more broadly applicable and more accurately represents the sentiment of these redirects than "just" a map orientation. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 14:06, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

- Genetically Modified Organism Project → Deus Ex (video game) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Given that there are many "genetically modified organism projects" in real life, and in science fiction, it seems like a redirect that is too vague. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 13:49, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete Fannish hijack of a very generic term. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 13:56, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
- Weak retarget to The Non-GMO Project as
{{R from antonym}}
as this comes up in searches for news articles. General searches show "GMO project" used with this organization or with school projects discussing Genetically Modified Organisms AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:40, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

- National Secessionist Forces → Deus Ex (video game) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Given that there are many "national secessionist forces" in real life, I think this redirect could be confusing/misleading. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 13:47, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment This is a major group in the game like UNATCO but general news articles point to secessionist forces in general.. Would a redirects here / hatnote to Secession be more appropriate? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 13:30, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Killiondude (talk) 05:56, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- Retarget to section #Setting_and_characters, where this is specifically discussed (twice by full name, and then a further two times by an initialism). Neutral on a
{{redirect|...|Secession}}
hatnote because I find it difficult to believe someone would type this exact phrase looking for secession in general. --NYKevin 00:09, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

- I don't believe that we should delete this. The specific name of the group, with every word capitalized, is clearly distinct from the broader concept of secessionist movements. Refining things to the #Setting_and_characters section also makes sense to me. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 08:41, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
