Delphi programming[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 Delphi (software). signed, Rosguill talk 04:24, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect is not used anywhere, and its counterpart doesn't exist for other languages. It also doesn't really fit an article title's style, so it's not likely somebody will search for this phrasing. It should probably be deleted. DanielPharos (talk) 16:52, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that my argumentation is only directed towards the first one ("Delphi programming"); the rest were added by others. --DanielPharos (talk) 10:19, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delphi programming language, Delphi language, Delphi (language), Delphi (Computer Language) and Delphi (programming language), all of which redirect to Object Pascal, should be bundled into this nomination.
(IIRC Delphi was a POS, but probably an encyclopedic POS.) Narky Blert (talk) 20:08, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Does that mean that all other "<language> programming" variants should also be created, and that all articles linking to Object Pascal should be checked if they shouldn't link to Delphi (software) instead? --DanielPharos (talk) 21:34, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
(1) No. (2} Probably unnecessary, it's unlikely that anyone would link to Object Pascal if they were thinking of Delphi. Narky Blert (talk) 22:02, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
(1) Then I don't understand why this one should be kept? (2) Unfortunately, due to the other redirects you mentioned and the "redirect resolving" that gets done on bluelinks, most of them now do. --DanielPharos (talk) 22:15, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget per Narky Blert, along with the others. As I recall, the Delphi language was a proprietary variant on object-oriented Pascal that could only be compiled by Delphi's own software. I knew Turbo Pascal pretty well in the mid-90s and was excited about Delphi, but switched pretty quickly to Java, and then went into accounting. Ivanvector's squirrel (trees/nuts) 20:43, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Turbo Pascal for DOS was a good system in its day, but was a straight rip-off of Blue Label Pascal for CP/M (we have mentions, but no article). (I upgraded from Pascal to C.) Narky Blert (talk) 21:56, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Tiffany#People. (non-admin closure) feminist (+) 15:27, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Should this redirect to the current target (Tiffany (given name)) or to Tiffany#People, the section of the dab page which also links to Tiffany (surname) and lists people known mononymously as "Tiffany"? My gut feeling is that neither given name nor surname are primary over the other, but I'm not certain enough to boldy retarget. Thryduulf (talk) 15:18, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

D. H. Williams[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 List of people with the surname Williams#D with no prejudice against the creation of a DAB page, if someone wishes to start a draft. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 00:47, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as ambiguous, since the article doesn't indicate he was known as "D. H.", and a Search for "D. H. Williams" returns several other people. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 13:51, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. signed, Rosguill talk 04:23, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A redirect to a DAB page on which the only mention is a circular link. In use in Vitali Smirnov. Delete to encourage article creation. Narky Blert (talk) 11:49, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to SpongeBob SquarePants. Show is primary topic (non-admin closure) Asmodea Oaktree (talk) 11:52, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am not proposing deletion, just inquiring about the appropriate target. Since this redirect's creation in 2004, it has targeted the show page SpongeBob SquarePants, character page SpongeBob SquarePants (character), or the dab page SpongeBob SquarePants. Editors have rotated through the options without any discussion outside of edit summaries (that I can find). What is the appropriate target?

Faculty of Chemical Technology[edit]

The result of the discussion was disambiguate. ✗plicit 05:55, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This was an article and was brought to AfD. I then closed it (nac) as redirect to this target, but on 2nd thought, I believe this should be deleted, as "Faculty of Chemical Technology" can refer to the faculty for many other universities, not just this university. Natg 19 (talk) 00:19, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, thanks for putting that together. Mdewman6 (talk) 01:00, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disambiguate per Narky Blert. I participated in the AfD but apparently none of us did the due diligence to see if this was unique to the University in Prague. So disambiguate for all such mentions on WP. Certainly worth preserving the history rather than deleting. Mdewman6 (talk) 18:37, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
