July 25[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on July 25, 2020.

Lemmings (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 retarget to Lemming (disambiguation)#Music. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris ^talk! 09:15, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lemmings (song) → Blink-182 discography (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

The only mention of Lemmings on the target page is an EP Lemmings / Going Nowhere. Blink-182 have recorded a song by this name, which appears on that EP and on Dude Ranch (album) and is also mentioned at List of songs recorded by Blink-182. However this is not the only song called "Lemmings" so I propse to retarget this to Lemming (disambiguation)#Music where Blink-182 and Van der Graaf Generator songs are mentioned. Google doesn't suggest either is the primary topic. Thryduulf (talk)

Retarget to Lemming (disambiguation)#Music per nom. There doesn't seem to be a clear primary topic, and plus any song called "Lemming" can also be mistakenly (and plausibly) called "Lemmings." Regards, SONIC678 04:45, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget per both above. Narky Blert (talk) 15:50, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lemmings(album) → Dude Ranch (album) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Delete. In addition to the missing space, the target album is not called "Lemmings" - This was redirected to Lemmings (song) and a bot fixed the resulting double redirect to this target (where it pointed at the time). Lemmings (album) redirects to Lemming (disambiguation) as there are two albums with this exact name and National Lampoon's Lemmings also gets called just "Lemmings". The current target is linked from the dab page because of the song. Thryduulf (talk) 22:33, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Buklod → Iglesia ni Cristo (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Tagalog word for "unity" or "alliance", not mentioned at the target. An internet search does not suggest that Iglesia ni Cristo is the primary subject associated with this term. I would suggest deletion unless a justification can be provided. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 20:22, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Binhi → Iglesia ni Cristo (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Binhi is the Tagalog word for seed. It also appears to be the name of a youth group affiliated with Iglesia ni Cristo, but it's not mentioned at the target and an internet search doesn't suggest that this is the primary meaning of this term. I would lean towards deletion unless a duly sourced mention is added, and even then it's not clear to me that this is the primary topic. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 20:21, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Eleventh extinction → Holocene extinction (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

No mention of eleven or eleventh at the target. The lead itself calls it the sixth. Delete unless a justification can be provided. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 20:12, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Google finds only one use of this exact phrase that is independent of Wikipedia and not a collocation or nonsense [1]. That is on a page entitled "Conclusions: Extinction Events - Ten extinction events in deep time & perhaps we are now in the eleventh extinction event the anthropogenic extinction" hosed by the Senior University of Greater Atlanta, which is not an academic institution but a U3A-type informal learning group. Thryduulf (talk) 22:54, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sotec eOne → EMachines eOne (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Daewoo e-Power → EMachines eOne (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Not mentioned at the target. Searching online, I found some results (largely in Chinese and Japanese) for a very similar looking computer, but I can't find clear evidence that these are actually the same thing. In the case of Daewoo, I found this article that would seem to suggest that the e-Power is a copycat like the eOne, but that they are not the same product. I would suggest deletion unless such evidence can be provided. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 19:54, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Second Babylonian dynasty → Kassites (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

While the Kassites did come to power after the First Babylonian Dynasty, I can't find any evidence that they are referred to by this name. Delete unless a justification can be provided. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 18:27, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris ^talk! 02:46, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I never knew this chronology was so complicated! In a Google search, I found a 1992 honors undergraduate paper labeling the Kassites thus, so I don't think there's any danger that we made this up. But here's an 1887 work from an Oxford academic, whose list of kings from the Second Dynasty is clearly from the time period that we consider the first. Google privileges a Britannica Kids entry saying the second dynasty arose in the 1100s BC, placing them after the Kassites. I don't like Sealand Dynasty despite its use of the term. The lede is full of... shall we say, scholarly weasel words (not policy-violating WP:WEASEL words, just reflecting academic uncertainty). But Neo-Babylonian Empire isn't a clear choice either, since second empire =/= second dynasty.

That leaves me wanting to target somewhere broad. List of Mesopotamian dynasties probably links to whatever the reader is looking for, but the organization leaves quite a lot to be desired (this again probably comes down to us just having to reconstruct these ancient societies as best we can). I think I'm just defaulting to delete and leaving it to search results. Note that the redirect is new, so it has minimal page views (but of course hasn't had much time to get them). --BDD (talk) 19:33, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per BDD. I agree entirely on List of Mesopotamian dynasties, I really think that could be a useful target, but it's one of the least informative list articles I've seen thanks to its complete lack of structure and annotation, so I actually think the search results are preferable to either (a) several questionable targets or (b) a highly non-navigable list. ~ mazca ^talk 13:33, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Subrata roy (author)[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 no consensus / retarget to Subrata Roy. It's fairly routine in these situations with a retarget/delete split for me to close this way, recognizing both that there's no consensus and also that a default "keep" with no action would please no one. This one was a bit more difficult since there was expressed opposition to the proposed retarget, instead of just two sides making their argument in parallel. But we are encouraged to pursue alternatives to deletion, so as a closer, I'm not comfortable with a delete outcome that isn't backed by clear consensus.

As in many cases, the deadlock can be broken by an article being written on another Subrata Roy better known as an author, if there's such a notable person. I think we can all agree that the scientist and the businessman have both authored works, but "author" is not the main word you'd use to describe either. While this is veering into personal opinion territory, an article on, say, a notable novelist could easily occupy Subrata Roy (author). --BDD (talk) 16:17, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Subrata roy (author) → Subrata Roy (scientist) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

While scientists write papers, I'm not sure that the disambiguator (author) is really appropriate here. There's some other Subrata Roys with articles on Wikipedia, but none of them appear to be authors in the conventional sense. I would suggest deletion unless a justification or better solution can be provided. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 18:30, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Subrata Roy. All the hits for "Subrata Roy" author seem to be about the businessman whose article presently occupies the base title. Thryduulf (talk) 19:40, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~. There are no notable people named Subrata Roy who are known as authors. The miscapitalization makes this a slam dunk. -- Tavix ^(talk) 23:30, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The facts disagree - the businessman is well known as an author based on all the google results about him that describe him as such. It's just his Wikipedia article considers it secondary to his notability as a businessman. Thryduulf (talk) 02:21, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - When Wikipedia describes an author by that name, then a redirect should follow suit—not before. You have it backwards. It's puzzling that you allude to "facts" without evidence, but if you are so sure of his notability as an author, then you should have no issue citing that he is an author at his article. -- Tavix ^(talk) 02:46, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - Already in the article, see Subrata Roy#Work philosophy. Thryduulf (talk) 10:46, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  - For clarity, I still stand by my miscapitalization argument. That's why I simply struck my delete suggestion instead of switching to retarget. -- Tavix ^(talk) 16:25, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Subrata Roy per above. Why should the capitalisation matter? This redirect isn't harming anyone and functions the same purpose through the Wikipedia search mechanism as Subrata Roy (author) would; it's pointless time-wasting bureaucracy to delete this redirect and create the other one. Redirects don't have to be perfect, they just have to be usable. — J947 ‡ ^{message ⁓ edits} 23:01, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to Subrata Roy as he does have a books section in his article. I've added a hatnote to the scientist. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:29, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. So far we've shown that "Subrata Roy (author)" can plausibly refer to Subrata Roy (businessman), Subrata Roy (scientist), and there is another writer named Subrata Roy who may be eligible for an article. Since the capitalisation is wrong here, I think we should delete the redirect, second choice disambiguate. I would strongly oppose retargetting the other Subrata Roy.

Spongebob SquarePants: Bikini Bottom Nightmare → THQ (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Back on March 25, the "Spongebob Squarepants" counterpart was deleted, but I'm confused as to whether this was a real game (per this list that J947 provided over at the last discussion, which includes that name) or WP:MADEUP (per Lazlo25's rationalization for turning the former into a redirect on the grounds that it "[was] NOT a real game!"). As such, I'm suggesting we delete these two or retarget them wherever appropriate unless a justification can be provided as to why these redirect to their current targets. Regards, SONIC678 00:27, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Don't delete as it is costly, because it requires an admin to do so. I think I have seen most of SpongeBob episodes. Therefore, I think the "Bikini Bottom Nightmare" episode title is WP:MADEUP. Until they are proved to be MADEUP, I suggest retargeting both to SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab. --Soumya-8974 ^talk _contribs ^subpages 04:54, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thinking Cap[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 the soft redirect now at Thinking cap. Note that the other discussion regarding the uncapitalised version of this title was already closed with consensus to soft redirect to Wiktionary. I'm therefore treating the "soft redirect" consensus here, with most comments pre-dating that closure, as a consensus to just retarget this to that now-existing soft redirect page. There is not a compelling justification to have the two capitalisations of this point to different places, but the suggestion of moving the currently-targeted redirect to Thinking Cap (DC Comics) is potentially helpful, and will do that in addition to retargeting it at this title. ~ mazca ^talk 13:44, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thinking Cap → Thinker (DC Comics) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Note I've added Thinking Cap to this nomination as they should target the same place whatever happens. Thryduulf (talk) 15:33, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- And I've seperated them as discussed below. SpinningSpark 09:43, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The term Thinking Cap is mentioned at Thinker (DC Comics) and it is one of his most important creations. --Kailash29792 (talk) 15:40, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- While that may be true, it's just one example of a much wider term and not even close to the primary topic. In my search results for "thinking cap" -Wikipedia there was only one DC comics related result in the top 50 and that was 13th. Thryduulf (talk) 15:47, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - It does show, though, that it was a bad idea to bundle the two together. They were created for different reasons and have different rationales for changing. SpinningSpark 22:36, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - Separate them if you wish, but as the should both lead to the same target (whatever that is) and the same rationale applies to both (the current target is not the primary topic) I think bundling is correct here. Thryduulf (talk) 22:48, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      - It clearly isn't correct to bundle if participants are voting keep on a rationale that applies to only one. It is your view that they should be treated the same, but the reality is not everyone is agreeing with you. SpinningSpark 09:37, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I don't really approve of redirects and dab page entries for minor fictional items and characters, but it seems to be the consensus to have them, and as we don't have an article at the (uncapitalised) primary topic it makes sense to keep this as it is. SpinningSpark 09:51, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Soft redirect to wikt:thinking cap. Given that this has been split, I'm reaffirming my opinion that readers will be best served by both capitalised and uncapitalised versions of this search term soft redirecting to Wiktionary in preference to only one of very many examples of thinking caps that will just confuse readers who are looking for either general information (most likely) or information on a different specific example from fiction or non-fiction.

Comment I don't have an issue with the creation of Thinking Cap (DC Comics) (although the target doesn't convince me of the need), but I remain opposed to Thinking cap (now a soft redirect) and Thinking Cap leading to different pages and to the unqualified title being redirected to just one of very many specific uses.

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 Pederasty which seems to be the strongest-supported option (although nothing was enthusiastic). While there isn't much to say about Pederasty in the Renaissance at that target, it has been argued that there is enough to support a redirect. -- Tavix ^(talk) 16:13, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pederasty in the Renaissance → LGBT history#The Renaissance (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Non-helpful redirect. The article covers general LGBT history during the period. This redirect gives the wrong ideas about what the section will be about and about what is considered LGBT. ★Trekker (talk) 18:52, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, for attribution reasons. This is a redirect from a 2010 merge that is substantially what the current section is still based on. ~ mazca ^talk 21:22, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- No it's not. The section is about LGBT, not pedophilia. If the page is kept at all (I don't see why honestly) the it should be redirected somewhere else, possiblhy the main pederasty article.★Trekker (talk) 21:28, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - See my comment below. Some of what he wrote about touched on normal gay history, even though that itself was distorted by him, but that small amount of overlap is enough to create a requirement of attribution. Crossroads ^-talk- 21:42, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Significant content was clearly removed from the poorly-sourced pederasty article and expressly merged, with modifications, to the current target. I agree that it's a poor title and a poor description of the content, and would agree with deleting it if not for this history, but this is generally how these things are attributed for copyright purposes. ~ mazca ^talk 21:54, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It contains non-trivial edit history. The article was created and largely written by Haiduc, who was banned by ArbCom in 2010 for reasons that are obvious based on the ANI discussion about him. The content he wrote was dishonest propaganda exaggerating the prevalence and social standing of practices that in today's world non-WP:Fringe sources call child sexual abuse, as explained here. (Part of this involved purposely combining relationships between grown males that really are gay history together with abusive relationships between a grown man and a young boy, and calling it all "pederasty".) This article was merged into LGBT history, with changes, shortly after his ban, and more changes probably occurred since then. We probably need it for copyright reasons, but it should definitely stay a redirect. If someone more knowledgeable than me informs me that we actually do not need it, then I'd say delete. Crossroads ^-talk- 21:34, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In the section, it says that "The harshest punishments, such as burning at the stake, were usually reserved for crimes committed against the very young, or by violence." (emphasis mine). Not a very active user (talk) 12:34, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Unlike the below section, there's clear, serious harm here in conflating pederasty with LGBT practices. Retargeting is tempting, but Pederasty really doesn't discuss the topic in the Renaissance, only noting that the term entered English during that period. Moving this page without leaving a redirect is probably the best way forward. The deletion summary should link to this discussion, and the history will still be accessible without the harm of the status quo. It's just a matter of finding something that's an acceptable redirect to Pederasty that we don't already have—Paedication, maybe? --BDD (talk) 20:33, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- This seems needlessly complicated. The Pederasty article states, The word first appeared in the English language during the Renaissance, as pæderastie (e.g. in Samuel Purchas' Pilgrimes), in the sense of sexual relations between men and boys. This seems like plenty to justify the target. Crossroads ^-talk- 21:08, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Right, I noted that part of the article, but any reader using this search term would most likely be looking for the practice or idea of pederasty in the Renaissance, not the history of the word (cf. WP:UMD). It no more answers the search query than it would Pederasty in England (where Purchas was writing from). While the conflation of homosexuality and pederasty is by far the more pressing issue here, we still need to think about readers, what they look for, and how to accommodate them. --BDD (talk) 21:32, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pederasty in the modern world → Pederasty#Modern view (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

This redirect is mostly pointless, and the wording of it makes it seems like "Pederasty" is a term which is accepted in moder use as opposed to "child sexual abuse". The very short section it redirects to is only about modern views of historical use of the term. ★Trekker (talk) 18:15, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete if we can, but~~ it contains non-trivial edit history. The article was created and largely written by Haiduc, who was banned by ArbCom in 2010 for reasons that are obvious based on the ANI discussion about him. The content he wrote was dishonest propaganda exaggerating the prevalence and social standing of practices that in today's world non-WP:Fringe sources call child sexual abuse, as explained here, and which can be seen in this article as well. A merge with Pederasty was done in 2008. In 2019, though, the Pederasty article was itself completely rewritten. [2] So I'm not sure if we need this for copyright attribution or not, but if we do, it should obviously stay a redirect and pointing where it now does. The Pederasty#Modern view section does in fact talk about modern views of practices that have been called pederasty (sex between a man and a boy). Crossroads ^-talk- 20:31, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

One way to keep the edit history is if we move redirect to another space like views on pederasty in the modern world or something and then deleted the original title.★Trekker (talk) 05:39, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I thought about this, but wouldn't that break attribution? The attribution in the history of Pederasty would go to the old title, which would be a red link and/or a nonexistent page and not lead to the edit history of the renamed redirect, thus defeating the purpose of keeping it. Crossroads ^-talk- 21:00, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Despite its sordid history, I don't see anything harmful about this redirect. We provide access with all sorts of variant and deprecated terms.

Comparative morphology → Comparative anatomy (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Retarget to Evolutionary physiology, which is what comparative morphology entails and is a subset of. Another article of this sort is Comparative physiology, and there may be others. We probably need some merging. There are really only two topics here: the study of evolutionary relationships as evidenced by physiological morphology, between earlier and later life forms that appear to be related, such as fossil amphibians and modern salamanders; and the study of differences between and similarities among contemporary organisms [related or not], such as primates and felids. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 10:57, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm surprised it's at Comparative Anatomy to begin with, because I've always known it as Comparative morphology. Never heard of this new-fangled (?) term Evolutionary physiology, but then again, I've been out of the loop for a decade or two. Still, I lean towards for keeping as-is, until I investigated this issue more. Amphioxys (talk) 12:50, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

-> Comparative morphology First of all Anatomy is a subset of Morphology mostly concerning itself with macroscopic and internal structures and organs, including their placement and function with regards an organism's body functions, and especially of interest to medical/veterinarian applications. Morphology is concerned with the different forms that bodily structures can take and their relationship with corresponding organs in other organisms. So I would unequivocally vote for having the article moved to Comparative morphology. With regards to Evolutionary physiology, despite its obvious overlap, this is an different field of study, focusing more on the evolutionary processes shaping bodily structures. The differences may seem subtle, but clear enough in my eyes. Amphioxys (talk) 20:50, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: I don't like multiple relists, but as such, we're headed to the sort of no-consensus close that pleases no one. Some discussion questions: is there a more specific place for the linguistic topic than Morphology (linguistics)?

Oppose retarget to Morphology, comparative is not mentioned there and would be confusing for someone looking for something more specific. I haven't researched the topic enough to be comfortable to !vote this way, but from a glance, the current target doesn't look problematic per Amphioxys and 59. -- Tavix ^(talk) 23:09, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
When I think of morphology, my first thought is linguistics. My hunch is that some form of comparative morphology exists for most or all fields that have a concept called morphology. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 19:06, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think a specific disambiguation on "comparative morphology" may make sense if we have content on "comparative morphology" in multiple fields. The disambiguation page at Morphology is too broad though, and thus unhelpful for those looking for specialized information on this exact topic. If we want to go this route, can we brainstorm a disambiguation? What's better for the linguistics term, Comparative linguistics or Morphology (linguistics)? Are there any other articles that would make sense? Comparative physiology? -- Tavix ^(talk) 03:03, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Back again! I'm strongly opposed to Comparative physiology, because Physiology is more focused on bodily functions rather than form. I'd prefer Comparative morphology, which is the term I'm used to, but I would begrudgingly accept Comparative anatomy, if need be. I know there is a discipline within Linguistics called the same, but within Biology, the discipline of Morphology is well-established and ought not give rise to confusion within context.

@Narky Blert: I noticed that Giant Bomb has a few of these employee->company redirects, and I'm having trouble finding a relevant WP policy for this. It seems to me that even if one of the names is notable, if their respective article and the target article fail to mention or show notability, or a linked section, that it's a fairly useless redirect and shouldn't exist. But I'm hesitant to nominate all the names right off the bat though; Ryan_Davis_(video_game_journalist) is the only one that appears appropriate. Should anyone listed as an employee get a redirect? -Strangerpete (talk) 13:03, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Strangerpete: Notability is irrelevant for redirects, it's utility that matters. I have a two-part test: is there useful info at the target? does the redirect impede searching? Alex Navarro fails at least the second part - type "Alex Navarro ." (the full stop bypasses the redirect) into the searchbox, and you'll see he crops up all over the place. A qualified title is OK if test #1 is met - readers can search easily without the qualifier. Ryan_Davis_(video_game_journalist) is a good redirect - it points to a section with his name on it and 5 paras specifically about him. Furthermore, it has history which needs preserving - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ryan Davis (video game journalist). On the other hand, Alex Navarro is basically only a name mentioned in passing. Narky Blert (talk) 13:22, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. In simple terms, someone typing Wikipedia:About and Wikipedia:Wikipedia are generally seeking the same thing: information about the website they're at. That information should be hosted at a single page, Wikipedia:About, rather than sending users seeking the most basic kind of information on a chase through disambiguation pages and other hurdles.

Granted, Wikipedia:About could use a major overhaul, since right now it's far too long and trying too hard to be an encyclopedia article rather than an accessible introduction.

Template:G → Template:Spaces (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Maybe I'm missing something super-obvious, but when I see "Template:G" my first thought is definitely not "oh, that's for adding spaces". The initial recreation of this template had the summary used all over the place, but at current count I only see 147 (which, granted, is not nothing, but not a huge amount either). In other words, for a single-letter template there's no good connection to the target and it makes no sense to have it pointing there. Primefac (talk) 10:54, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Sometimes people need to go back to old versions of pages. (I think that is why we keep the page histories.) We therefore want the old versions to work. It is a huge pain, if they do not work because they have calls to deleted templates whose function is non-obvious. Keeping this redirect therefore helps preserve the functionality of old versions of pages.-- Toddy1 (talk) 14:20, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"breaks old transclusions" is never a reason to keep things. Otherwise we would have never deleted {{persondata}} or any of dozens upon dozens of templates. If people are confused by a sudden redlinked template, they can go to it and see why. Primefac (talk) 00:32, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I'm sympathetic to Toddy1's concerns here, but this is such a bad redirect that it just shouldn't exist, and I think the benefit from preventing future uses outweighs any harm in mangling page histories. Such harm could be further mitigated by keeping a record of deleted (or changed) template shortcuts. Does such a page exist for keeping track of these? If not, it might be worth setting up. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 15:42, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~Replace and~~ delete. There are only 141 transclusions of this confusingly unintuitive template name, and I'm about to make that a shorter list. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 23:57, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Update: Now there are 0. Most of them were due to transclusion or substitution of a handful of templates (especially a long-deleted one named shoutbox), while most of the rest were due to having been added to infoboxes by one editor who focused on Dutch bios. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 00:46, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nor do we normally have a bunch of 0/o redirects, because people don't seem to often actually confuse the characters. If they did, I could see redirecting this to boon.
