Redirect not mentioned in target. Aasim (talk) 19:34, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete. Persistence (computer science) is the closest thing we seem to have to an article about the concept of saving in terms of computers, but that article is way too technical to be at all useful as a target of a search term is general as this. Thryduulf (talk) 19:58, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: The original redirect was to Computer file management, which did mention file save functionality, but was essentially a dictionary definition, with an additional section on file hierarchy. This target article was then cut down by section blanking, tagged as a stub, then redirected without discussion to File manager in 2014 (this was claimed to be a merge to File manager and Directory structure but this is questionable as no content appears to have been transferred and there is no link in the new target articles to maintain page history attribution, so it seems to have been an undiscussed redirect). --Canley (talk) 20:54, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Given the strange history, it should be discussed further.

  • Comment - This might be the wrong framing of this discussion. The former target article could warrant restoration given its conversion to a redirect was undiscussed, which would be beyond the scope of this RfD. Additionally, "Save command" or something similar could even be its own article. Persistence (computer science) hardly seems sufficient for such a ubiquitous concept as a save option or button. Note that in terms of common software/hardware functionalities, we have articles for Reset button, Like button, and even Hamburger button. An article for "save button" or "save function" would be the ideal redirect target for this, or else the expansion of this redirect to an article. I am fairly sure there are a wealth of sources on the subject of save functionality in computing. BlackholeWA (talk) 08:39, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete to encourage article creation. I don't think that restoring the former target is much of an improvement over the current target, but an article about the redirect itself (or "button", "function" etc. per BlackholeWA) is likely appropriate. signed, Rosguill talk 18:05, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

These redirects should be deleted. They are unused (I bypassed the ~10 transclusions) and add more maintinence work for no benefit. Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 20:31, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete both. Not helpful redirects. If these were intended to be edit notices for a specific page then they have the wrong format (they should be Template:Editnotices/Page/...) and as a redirect they are misleading. A template for edit notices relating to the US election should contain information specific to the US election, not just "Use American style dates". 86.23.109.101 (talk) 16:09, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned at the target, delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 16:50, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • It should be there because it is a typo of "List" or "Lists", both of which redirect to the page. Globg 16:53, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, implausible typo. Listy is not more likely than Lista, Listb, Listc etc. Lennart97 (talk) 16:58, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Keep based on comment below. Not a very likely search term, but not necessarily implausible either, going by the wiktionary entry. Lennart97 (talk) 17:45, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Wiktionary has a quoted entry which describes it as "Resembling or characteristic of a list, or tending to use lists", so this appears to be a rarely used word, not just a typo. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 17:05, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The redirect should not go to the current target and I don't think it's used enough to justify a soft redirect to wikt. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:47, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • One other reason why this article should be kept is because of the other redirect, Listy of films about 9/11, which redirects to the same article as List of films about 9/11. Since that one was approved, this should be, also. Globg 18:24, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    By approved, do you mean "it exists" or "it was nominated at RfD and kept"? If the latter, it would be helpful if you can link to it. If the former, that's basically WP:WHATABOUTX and not a valid argument. And for what it's worth, while I've voted keep on this one based on the wiktionary definition, I'd definitely vote delete on Listy of films about 9/11. Lennart97 (talk) 18:41, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    @Lennart97 and Globg: Listy of films about 9/11 is currently at RfD - see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 February 14#Listy of films about 9/11. It was nominated by Hog Farm and at the time of writing this comment has received two !votes - Eureka Lott and 86.23.109.101 both recommend deletion. Accordingly it is definitely incorrect to say it is "approved". Thryduulf (talk) 11:07, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The OED defines listy as an obsolete adjective meaning "Pleasant, delightful. Also, pleased or willing to do something; hence, ready, quick." - Eureka Lott 21:44, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, BDD (talk) 19:41, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete changing my vote yet again, sorry. This time per Eureka Lott's comment, as list-related is apparently not the only definition/use of listy. (Maybe it would be good to add this second definition at wikt:listy?) Lennart97 (talk) 11:14, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • FWIW, that's the only definition of the term in the OED. It doesn't recognize the definition that's included in Wiktionary. - Eureka Lott 14:54, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The definition at Wiktionary doesn't seem very well sourced (someone saying "I'm not a 'listy' type of person" one time in 1999 doesn't make this a word, plus even they use quotation marks around the term, which would indicate it's not in common use). The only source I can find using this definition is Wordnik, who have copied it directly from Wiktionary (they also list "strong; powerful" as a definition, from the Century Dictionary). I would propose deleting the redirect and also the Wiktionary entry, unless there is some better sourcing. --Bangalamania (talk) 22:52, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not describe at target. There is a mention at List of Hardy Boys books; however, that hyperlinks all of the books, which (if left like that) would be an argument for deletion to avoid circular linking. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 14:22, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Restore the article in the page history of Fear on Wheels without prejudice for an AfD nomination. There was an article at this title from 2005 until late 2019, and while I haven't had any luck turning up online sources it is likely given the date of publication (1991) that most contemporary coverage will be in print. Someone with newspapers.com access or similar might be able to turn up a few reviews. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 14:35, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Restore without prejudice to AfD per above. The only other use relates to a team of obstacle course racers that includes at least one person in a wheelchair, but there is no mention of them anywhere on Wikipedia that I can find. Thryduulf (talk) 15:00, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would have put this up for CSD, but it doesn't quite fit the criteria, so I'm playing it safe. Anyway, this redirect was created as the result of a typo: the page is about the United Nations meditation room, but the page creator typed "United States" by accident; another user noticed and moved it to the correct title, leaving us with this redirect as a result. But this redirect is of little value, as it is does not reflect a very plausible or natural search term— just an absent-minded mistake. I corrected the single link that was pointing here, as well, leaving it orphaned. — Kawnhr (talk) 18:53, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. There's nothing in the united states with this name as far as I can tell, and "United Nations" → "United States" is not a plausible typo. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 23:24, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

These two redirects should probably target the same article as one is just the plural of the other. I would suggest that the list article is the better target since it's specifically about animals. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 13:25, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure Ariana Grande is the primary topic for this (though some people might know her as such), as Ivanvector argued in that trainwrecked nomination two weeks ago; there's also Ari Ólafsson, Ari Leff, Ari Lennox, and a bunch of other singers, but none of them seem to go by the mononym "Ari," so I'm not sure about retargeting to Ari (given name). Delete this or retarget wherever appropriate unless a justification can be provided. Regards, SONIC678 01:18, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as it is an implausible search term. D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 01:24, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Not worth the trouble, the disambiguation makes it unlikely to be searched for anyway. -- Tavix (talk) 01:45, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This is potentially ambiguous and the target article doesn't say she is known by this mononym. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:49, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete If there were any singers known mononymously as Ari this would (contra Tavix) make a it a very likely search term. However as there do not appear to be any such people it is not a useful redirect. Thryduulf (talk) 12:41, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. My first thought was to redirect to Ari (name), but that page doesn't actually mention Ariana Grande (or anyone else for whom "Ari" is a nickname, rather than a given name). BD2412 T 03:36, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and let the search engine handle it. There are a few singers listed under Ari (name)#People named Ari but I think it's more likely that someone looking for one of those individuals would know their full name. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 00:36, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
