April 12[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on April 12, 2019.

Splck[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. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 00:45, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense. This apparently existed as an article, and was deleted (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Splck). I'm confused because Karl Dickman's edit history shows him CREATING this redirect in the edit before he closed the deletion discussion as "deleted". Plantdrew (talk) 21:37, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The redirect was created shortly after the article was deleted, presumably because there was a single comment suggesting a merge. It should have been fully deleted as nonsense even by 2005 standards. —Xezbeth (talk) 21:42, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There are only four uses in google results that are not nonsense - a kindergarten in Hong Kong, the username of a Fortnite player and (part of?) the product code for a printer and a memory stick on overstock.com. None of these come within a mile of being notable topics for the encyclopaedia and so even if this term was in widespread use for them (which it isn't) there is nowhere to point it. An none of these uses have any relation to rainbow trout. Thryduulf (talk) 09:49, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as misleading, since there are many other possible freedoms that could have Portals. UnitedStatesian (talk) 11:50, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete redirects to portals are pretty useless because portals are not wikilinked in the text of articles Legacypac (talk) 12:24, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment redirects, including P: and other pseudo-namespace redirects are intended for searching as much as for linking. Lack of links is explicitly not a reason on its own to delete a redirect. Thryduulf (talk) 00:47, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There are no other portals with "Freedom" in the title, and (potential) ambiguity is not normally an issue with shortcut redirects like this one, and the stats show it does get some use. All in all I'm not seeing that there is any reason to delete this. Thryduulf (talk) 09:52, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all per prior outcomes at RfD (here, here, here, etc.). All ending with superfluous brackets or other characters, none of these seem like valid search terms .No indication of any potential usefulness, no links from mainspace, no significant history.

Delete. Not mentioned in target article. UnitedStatesian (talk) 15:37, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as per UnitedStatesian, can't find it in the article. Perhaps at one time it was in the Foreign section, but not currently. Onel5969 TT me 01:44, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: not mentioned in the target article or anywhere else in Wikipedia (provable by searching for the term). The supposedly mentioned website does not even seem to exist.[1] Geolodus (talk) 05:49, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above. According to WikiBlame, the term has never been in the target article. Thryduulf (talk) 09:55, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:COSTLY misleading and unnecessary cross-namespace redirects. UnitedStatesian (talk) 21:18, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom Legacypac (talk) 21:22, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It's unusual for the documentation to be on the talk page but there are many similar redirects to the user namespace. Peter James (talk) 09:47, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Peter James. This is not misleading and "unnecessary" is very subjective and not a reason to delete a redirect. There is no prohibition on Wikipedia: → User: redirects as a general case. Thryduulf (talk) 09:57, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:COSTLY misleading and unnecessary cross-namespace redirects. UnitedStatesian (talk) 12:42, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep all: Wikipedia → Help (and vice versa) redirects are almost always very useful as many such pages can be in either namespace without a clear pattern. CNRs are only problematic if they actually cause confusion or lead people away from the type of content they are expecting (most commonly this applies to redirects from mainspace to project space). There doesn't seem to be anything obviously misleading about any of these specific redirects either. Thryduulf (talk) 13:24, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The line between Wikipedia space and Help space is very blurry. Absent any actual harm, these CNRs are fine in general. -- Tavix (talk) 15:19, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. No comment on whether Princess_Leia#Return_of_the_Jedi or Princess_Leia#Metal_bikini or the like would be better as a section redirect. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 16:02, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not a valid name or title. It was originally an article fork that should have simply been deleted at the time. —Xezbeth (talk) 12:09, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Portal:Mauricie[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 redirect to mainspace article. Everyone here agrees that this shouldn't exist as a redirect to the mainspace article. Consensus also seems to be (via MfD and supported below) that this shouldn't be a stand-alone portal. This redirect to mainspace was reverted at least once elsewhere, as noted in the MfD. There was no discussion at MfD and I see no consensus below about whether it would be worth redirecting to portalspace as Thryduulf suggests; portal->portal redirects are not a common or well-established thing (I imagine we may see them as part of phase 3 or 4 of the current portalspace cleanup). As such, I will be deleting this redirect, as well its subpages, but reiterate that there is no consensus as regards a portal-to-portal redirect. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 19:49, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I had redirected the portal page but then the other regions of Quebec pages were all deleted at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean. So as a housekeeping matter we should delete the cross namespace redirect based on the MfD result. Legacypac (talk) 04:41, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to Portal:Quebec which would seem to be more useful for anyone searching for this sub-topic. I would also apply this to the other regions of Quebec too (this was not discussed in the MfD). Thryduulf (talk) 12:44, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely not. No one is searching for these regions in portal space and we don't need portal redirects from every region and city and village in a place that contains them. That would create huge clutter. Legacypac (talk) 22:02, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per the result of the MfD. A retarget to Portal:Quebec would be misleading because it does not specifically cover Mauricie. -- Tavix (talk) 13:12, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Portal redirects that are not spelling or punctuation variants serve no purpose. UnitedStatesian (talk) 13:08, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • we held an MFD and we held several similar ones for Ontario, India, US Counties. This is in keeping with all those results. Will you persist in going against clear consensus iver and over at ever ly turn? The was no merger here. There is no benefit for linking or the reader who is not searching for this in portal space. Just delete the darn page as housekeeping. Legacypac (talk) 21:27, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Please stop personalising matters. The consensus found that the topic should not have it's own portal, it did not discuss redirects at all so there is no prior consensus (for or against) regarding them. Thryduulf (talk) 09:59, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Actually redirecting was always an option in the MfD discussions but no one wanted that. Would we have 3400 counties redirected to their state portals? How about 723 districts of India redirects? If clseone started building those we would stop them. On your other point pot meet kettle. Legacypac (talk) 17:28, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If something is not discussed in a discussion, it cannot be assumed that there is consensus for or against it. If the county/district names are unambiguous, then I don't see why redirecting them would be an issue they'll as useful as this one. Thryduulf (talk) 18:29, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This union-busting tactic doesn't seem to be discussed at the target article, at least by name. Since the phrase could describe any sort of mandatory meeting, it's not a helpful redirect right now. --BDD (talk) 19:24, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No point in having this redirect. This redirect was created after the article about her had been deleted. If we are going to have this redirect here, then we need to redirect each survivor contestant to the list as well. Goveganfortheanimals (talk) 01:33, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, all Survivor contestants are redirected to that list, unless they have an article of their own. This has been standard procedure for a long time. No need to change a thing. Vote: Keep. Greggens (talk) 03:44, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. Most notably mentioned at Wikipedia:Portal namespace (setting-up debate) where, among other things, the idea of having the Main Page in portalspace was discussed. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 16:05, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Very confusing portal redirect clutter, especially since when the target page displays, it suppresses any "Redirected from" indication of how one got there. No "production" inbound links. UnitedStatesian (talk) 01:27, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as clutter. Legacypac (talk) 13:24, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep the main page is exactly what someone using this redirect will be looking for: The main portal to Wikipedia. The redirect has existed since 2007 without any problems at all. Thryduulf (talk) 13:34, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There are just so, so many ways of accessing the main page already. This one feels like a WP:SURPRISE with the redirect message suppressed. I would have expected this to go to Portal:Contents/Portals anyway. --BDD (talk) 17:00, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Closing Admin: These pages may have unused subpages to delete too.

Unused portal redirect clutter. Zero to One page view in the last month. Legacypac (talk) 01:11, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as unneeded and confusing cross-namespace redirects. I believe they qualify for G6 housekeeping deletion (CNR Portal:Lost was recently G6 deleted). UnitedStatesian (talk) 01:20, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm unsure whether they are useful, but they are very definitely not G6 candidates as they do not meet any aspect of that criterion. Thryduulf (talk) 10:01, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to the country page , 15 January 2016‎ DexDor replace by redir to higher level portal (this is just a copy of bit of article and a load of redlinks). There is nothing specific about the subject at the target and this in really a big search term because it is in portal space. The redirect may have subpages to delete as well. Legacypac (talk) 00:52, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as not mentioned in target Portal. Note to RfD participants who check the "what links here" on this one and the ones that follow: the links to the redirect are implemented with a parameter in the {{portal}} template, which automatically suppresses the display of a redlink if the portal does not exist. Accordingly, deletion of any portal redirect will not cause any redlinks to display. UnitedStatesian (talk) 01:09, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The history of this title is troubled. Its been abandoned unfinished, restarted but with serious errors, and then redirected. There is no specific suicide content at Portal:Death and in general a portal on suicide is a bad idea because so few editors watch portals and they handle topics at such a shallow level.

Old redirect from 2013. We have eliminated all US county portals at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/US County Portals so removing this redirect is housekeeping.
