August 15[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on August 15, 2020.

Streets of Houston[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 Houston#Roadways. (non-admin closure) Hog Farm Bacon 14:19, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not clear what the purpose of this redirect is. The article mentions the Grand Prix of Houston, which could plausibly be nicknamed "Streets of Houston", but if so then Grand Prix of Houston is a better target (and doesn't mention it as a nickname). Delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 18:21, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Streets of Houston is the name of the circuit not the name of the event. The article Grand Prix of Houston is about the event. Streets of Houston should adress its location. --Mark McWire (talk) 21:56, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep per SNOW. (non-admin closure) — J947 ‡ message ⁓ edits 22:26, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Implausible redirect. Seventyfiveyears at 12:59, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, this thing has been helpful to many people since February 2005, and doesn't seem to be in the way of anything. Also "Looney" and "Loony" are pretty much pronounced the same, so it's a plausible alternative spelling. Regards, SONIC678 13:35, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    But what about Toons? --Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 17:10, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    It’s a phonetically plausible misspelling, it’s literally also a shortened form of "Cartoons". CycloneYoris talk! 17:35, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Reasonable error, not harmful in any way. Hog Farm Bacon 16:15, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep plausible misspellings --Lenticel (talk) 01:47, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per everyone above. Clearly not implausible. CycloneYoris talk! 05:03, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. The only plausible misspelling of the article title is Loony Tunes. --Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 17:10, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • This is not true. Toons is common shortening of "Cartoons". There are several examples on the dab page. -2pou (talk) 22:11, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as a plausible misspelling. In fact, I think this is how I remember the name. OcelotCreeper (talk) 18:41, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and tag as {{R from misspelling}}. Successor Tiny Toon Adventures provides additional support for plausible misspelling. —Ost (talk) 15:32, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep For at least the "Toons" part, I'm in the same boat as OcelotCreeper, and I never paid enough attention as a kid to realize it was a double entendre. Perhaps because of the reasoning Ost316 contributed to some bias in my memory later in life. As for Loony, that seems like a pretty plausible error as well given that it is the more common general spelling. -2pou (talk) 22:19, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. signed, Rosguill talk 21:04, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if this is the correct venue to nominate category redirects. There are 3 "Heroes" television series with articles. This redirect should be deleted as it shouldn't point any of them. Gonnym (talk) 10:04, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • The redirects are artifacts of the category moves, and are of no value. BD2412 T 21:05, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. We usually delete categories after the page move and this is the correct venue to nominate any redirects. Namespace don't matter. --Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 09:10, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per points made above. -2pou (talk) 22:21, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete both per above. It could also refer to the unrelated South Korean or Chilean TV shows. Regards, SONIC678 23:51, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. signed, Rosguill talk 21:03, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No idea what "Hősök" is as it isn't mentioned in the article. Gonnym (talk) 10:01, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:RFOREIGN, this is the Hungarian word for "heroes," and this TV series doesn't have a connection to Hungarian. Regards, SONIC678 13:39, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete per above, closest target is Hősök tere but it's a partial title match. --Lenticel (talk) 00:25, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

typo - no space between title and dab. Gonnym (talk) 09:59, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as a plausible typo. There's no technical reason to be deleting those redirects. Seventyfiveyears at 14:43, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all per nom, the correctly formatted counterparts of the first two already exist, while that for the third one doesn't. Regards, SONIC678 23:11, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all per WP:RDAB. Steel1943 (talk) 02:36, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 01:26, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The series was never a "TV serial", nor are any other entries at Heroes#Television refereed to as such. Gonnym (talk) 09:53, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Question Why was it never a TV serial? It was literally told in a "sequential episode-by-episode fashion." Anecdotally, I agree that it wasn't referred to as a serial, but it was definitely serial storytelling. A lot of TV became more serialized around this time, but you don't hear the term very much. A 24 (TV serial) wouldn't be too WP:ASTONISHing if it existed. It doesn't look like it's used very much, though, so I'm not going be hard over on arguing WP:RHARMFUL. -2pou (talk) 22:31, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Each episode continues from the last - there is a "Previously" sequence at the start of each episode (except Chapter One). You need to watch from the start in order to follow the plot, it's not like Wagon Train which may be watched in almost any order. It's a serial, no doubt. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:20, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. Tbh this one seems both plausible and harmless, but I'm not going to belabor the point. signed, Rosguill talk 16:31, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Midtown Manhattan#Post offices and ZIP Codes. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 06:17, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A Google search shows that 10001 is used far more to refer to a ZIP code in Manhattan. It definitely shouldn't redirect to a year-related meaning, and since ZIP codes are generally redlinked, I think deletion is the best approach. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:36, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to Midtown Manhattan#Post offices and ZIP Codes where the primary topic is mentioned. There are a few other examples of Manhattan ZIP codes, including 10048 and 10118. -- Tavix (talk) 19:39, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Retarget per Tavix since the ZIP code is mentioned in that article. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:22, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget over deletion; no preference regarding retarget here vs. retarget elsewhere. This is a decently notable ZIP code, being the first in a 10000-block for a major metro area. (20001 and 90001 are the others; one of the two is blue.) HotdogPi 22:16, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy keep. Withdrawn. (non-admin closure) Hog Farm Bacon 22:31, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned at target article. It's an early draft name of the character, but probably out of scope of the article, and it's not likely people are constantly searching for this. [3] Hog Farm Bacon 02:13, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, on principle, as all similar synonym redirects should be kept please. They are readily cited and where necessary - please don't create a flood of busy-work - can be added to the target articles. I've added and cited this one per WP:BELT-AND-BRACES or something, but the point I'd like to establish is that since redirects are cheap, and this type is verifiably correct even if used only by a small minority, they should not be deleted. Very likely there are other classes of Middle-earth redirect that also deserve to stay. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:09, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The target is not a county and is not called Xinxi in English nor in Japanese. The ancient Runan Commandery had an administrative division by this name which may be notable per WP:GEOLAND, so delete per WP:R#D10. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 02:06, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
