Delete all per the outcome of similar RfDs, i.e 2019 February 25, 2019 March 5, etc. All are missing an opening bracket in the title, no indication that they are in any way useful. PC78 (talk) 17:14, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects to Blossom, but the reader could be looking for Flower instead. Either way, it's confusing. ToThAc (talk) 13:53, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Per Emojipedia, this emoji is defined as a blossom. -- Tavix (talk) 15:17, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm also fine with a retarget to flower per Plantdrew, especially since Flower has blossom bolded in the lede. -- Tavix (talk) 18:35, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to flower? Blossom overlaps quite a bit with cherry blossom. Cherry blossom has it's own emoji, 🌸. ⚘ is the generic flower unicode symbol, which redirects to tulip. I'm not sure that the blossom article is necessary (rather than having it as a redirect to flower); while some incoming links do intend blossom in the sense given in that article, many are intending flowers. Most renditions of 🌼 depict something that's clearly in the daisy/sunflower family (Asteraceae), which doesn't produce blossoms in the sense used by the blossom article. Plantdrew (talk) 18:22, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • ⚘ targeting Tulip was a recent retarget which I've reverted back to Flower. -- Tavix (talk) 18:35, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to either flower or daisy not sure what one is better as emojis can vary by device Abote2 (talk) 23:42, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but add a hatnote to flower. The uses in the real world seem to predominantly mean "blossom" per the definition, but it can be used to mean flower so a hatnote to the secondary meaning is most appropriate. Thryduulf (talk) 18:15, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Unicode says the CLDR short name is "blossom." Many vendors use the CLDR name for sutocomplete, so we should match that. Vendors can interpret the short name visually how they want, like how Apple can make 🔫 look like a squirt gun, but it's really "pistol." I agree that on most platforms it looks more like a flower than just a blossom, but I think Unicode is the authority we should use. --Nessie (talk) 15:20, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per above. No hatnote to Flower because people are unlikely to search for emojis in general and hatnotes are not free; they clutter up the page. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:23, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was soft delete as unopposed. -- Tavix (talk) 16:57, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting per WP:XY. The redirect is apparently a misnomer for Mirpuri Punjabi, which is one possible way of referring to the Punjabi variety spoken in Mirpur (which is described in the target article). However, this is not plausible as a misnomer, and if there actually were such a thing as "Punjabi Mirpuri", it would more likely be taken to instead refer to Punjabi-origin inhabitants of (any of the number of places known as) Mirpur. – Uanfala (talk) 08:01, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not a formal redirect and unlikely to be searched and used. B dash (talk) 05:10, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Ambiguous redirect, doesn't refer to any hurricane in particular which could be misleading to most readers. CycloneYoris talk! 19:57, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects are not properly written. Title has no space between name of the storm and the year. Properly titled redirect already exists which is Typhoon Vamco (2009), I see no reason why we should keep this B dash (talk) 05:04, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Implausible misspelling. I can't see this being used very much. Goveganfortheanimals (talk) 03:05, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete unlikely typo, not needed --DannyS712 (talk) 03:06, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Used 78 times last year. I often find typos with two letters transposed, and the Main Page is a common destination. Art LaPella (talk) 04:16, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Given the frequency with which people visit the Main Page, even implausible misspellings show up on a regular basis. --Carnildo (talk) 09:14, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – Are you seriously telling me that readers would be unable to find the main page without this misspelled redirect? I think not. Furthermore, we do not need a collection every possible misspelling of an article title, just in case someone makes a typo. As with any search, if you don't get what you want on the first try, you check what you typed and try again. Out of the tens of millions of readers annually, 78 people is a fraction of a insignificant number, and that alone doesn't justify keeping this. And lastly, just because something is plausible doesn't mean it is necessary.Senator2029 “Talk” 10:27, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I do not think this should be deleted as I think it is a plausible redirect Abote2 (talk) 10:55, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Pageviews show very few searches per month, so I think it's safe to say that the typo is implausible. ToThAc (talk) 13:56, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete redirect with obvious format error. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 15:01, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Art LaPella's page view stats. This is not a common error for such a high trafficked page. -- Tavix (talk) 15:02, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, it's not like the main page is hard to find. PC78 (talk) 17:00, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- even if it were a useful typo redirect (it isn't) I don't think there should really be redirects to the main page considering how easy it is to get there --204.98.170.118 (talk) 23:15, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) B dash (talk) 02:22, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This should probably be retargeted to a list of continents or something, because many continents like Africa for example, are also quite dry. Goveganfortheanimals (talk) 16:27, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't know whether it is a useful redirect, but if kept it should definitely go to Antarctica rather than a list. Many places can be quite dry, but some will be drier than others, and one (unless there's a tie) will be the "driest". CMD (talk) 16:49, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The article does say, with a source, that "Antarctica, on average, is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent". Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:05, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, B dash (talk) 01:28, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as an entirely plausible search term. Goveganfortheanimals, if you think Africa is "also quite dry" I take it you've never been there. (Africa has precipitation of 740 mm/a, roughly the same as Europe or North America; for comparison Antarctica has precipitation of 110 mm/a.) ‑ Iridescent 08:12, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unreasonable redirect (notable person -> semi-notable school named after the person) Zocky | picture popups 13:00, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I'm torn between keeping this as a redirect to the section of the article that is most about the person and deleting per WP:REDLINK. Thryduulf (talk) 16:20, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete because this redirect has a spurious Misnested tags lint error that will not go away despite numerous null edits over a period of weeks, and it is annoying to see on Outstanding linter errors on enwiki that there is 1 (one) Draft article with misnested tags only to discover, oh it's this one again. I wouldn't care so much if this redirect were actually doing something useful, but it serves no purpose. Anomalocaris (talk) 00:20, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't see any misnested tags for drafts (Special:LintErrors, firefly), and there aren't any reported on the page information. The redirect was created from a history merge. There could be a bug with Linter, the merge history functionality, or a the combination of the two. In any case, I don't care what happens to the redirect. — JJMC89 (T·C) 06:11, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • JJMC89 is correct that the error is no longer listed at Firefly or the lint error page. My theory is that my non-null edit adding the request for deletion finally forced the linter to do its job, which null edits failed to do for no good reason. I still think the redirect should be deleted, but only because it serves no useful purpose, not because of the now-gone spurious lint error. —Anomalocaris (talk) 09:17, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:RDRAFT now that the lint errors are fixed. Iffy★Chat -- 09:48, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom, the redirect serves no useful purpose. -- Tavix (talk) 15:16, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:RDRAFT. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 15:59, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:RDRAFT per above. Thryduulf (talk) 18:18, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
