King of Cloves[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The result of the discussion was Withdrawn. I've added a mention at target article which confirms that this is in fact an alternative title used for the film. Thanks to Roman Spinner for providing the source below. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 02:44, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is supposedly an alternative title for the film in question. But there's no evidence (at least not at target article) that this title was actually used. CycloneYoris talk! 23:53, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thermochromic paint[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 Thermochromism#Leuco dyes. Liz Read! Talk! 22:51, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that Thermochromic ink refers to paint, so suggest retargeting there. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 20:38, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't see where ink refers to paint, and it would be pretty misleading for ink to be considered paint given ink and paint are very different things. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 09:24, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Thermochromism#Leuco_dyes, where there is a paragraph on these paints. Agreed, ink is not paint, and this target talks about paints explicitly. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 16:25, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Steve Brule[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 Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule. Liz Read! Talk! 22:49, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I typed this in expecting to be taken to Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule, and was surprised to be taken here instead. According to WikiNav, 72 out of 177 people to read this article in November clicked the link in the hatnote, while there wasn't a single link in the body of the article that more than 10 people clicked. Considering that only 66 people viewed this redirect that month, that strongly suggests that ~100% of people visiting Steve Brule were looking for the show about him. Furthermore, even if we didn't have this pageview information, this is a WP:SMALLDETAILS situation. Thus retarget with hatnote to current target. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 12:47, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Albanian Americans#Demographics. Liz Read! Talk! 22:47, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Target has no information at all about Albanians Fram (talk) 09:05, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Veverve (talk) 14:15, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Albanian Americans#Demographics which has a paragraph of information about Albanians in New York City. Thryduulf (talk) 14:45, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • A sentence, not a paragraph. And the paragraph where that info is contained in seems to be very closely paraphrased from its source to boot. But no problem with this retargeting as such. Fram (talk) 15:01, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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 Curtis Yarvin#Views. The lone suggested target was accepted by the nominator. Jay (talk) 20:55, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned at the target, Google Scholar searches for the terms in the redirect do not suggest that these terms are directly equivalent, with the search term being a buzzword within the movement of Dark Enlightenment (but not discussed at that article) that perhaps draws on Foucaultian concepts of regimes of truth, but putting in a redirect at this time seems a bridge too far. I would suggest deletion unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 19:11, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment discussed at Curtis Yarvin#Views, I guess he's the guy who first started using this term in the context of neoreaction. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 00:16, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. As unopposed deletion nomination. Jay (talk) 21:05, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned at target, leftover from a move that had the edit summary CambridgeBayWeather moved page School 25 to Matlabganj J. B. High School: No evidence of that name. The sole incoming link seems to be erroneous (from Buffalo Public Schools, a New York school district, whereas the target is in Bangladesh).

The result of the discussion was Speedy delete per WP:CSD#G6 - the move to this title was reverted as an explicit error. Thryduulf (talk) 15:09, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Double apostrophes bypasses the title creation blacklist; titles with at least two consecutive apostrophes are blocked from creation due to creating formatting issues on pages, and this title block has been in place for over half a decade. Steel1943 (talk) 18:24, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not really covered in the article it redirects to. For other examples, see FlyingKitty and Technoblade, and more recently, PmBata. 98.179.127.59 (talk) 17:35, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as several articles have mention of the subject, and so it's improper to limit to the current target. Jay (talk) 21:34, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 09:09, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can this redirect be deleted. Pachelbel's Canon is written in D Major, not D Minor. Kind regards, JJK2000 (talk) 08:56, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as a harmless redirect. There is no Pachelbel's Canon in D Minor and as Pachelbel has been dead for a bit I don't think there is going to be so I think that keeping it is CHEAP. It's not the world's most improbably search for someone to mishear that it is in minor versus major. TartarTorte 00:55, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as a harmless {{R from incorrect name}}. Speaking as someone who is not musical, misremembering major as minor or vice versa is a highly plausible mistake. Thryduulf (talk) 15:26, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete "Armenian Peruvians" When I read that, it looks like Peruvians in Armenia, instead of Armenian-Peruvians, Armenians in Peru -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 03:14, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Generally double-demonym compounds are read the way intended by the redirect. An Italian American is a U.S. citizen of Italian descent, etc. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 05:05, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Generally double-demonym compounds are read the way intended by the redirect large parts of the world follow the opposite convention: Thai Chinese, Burmese Indians, British Moroccans, Iranian Kazakhs, etc. And then in some parts of the world neither convention is used in actual sources, but editors make up some WP:OR terminology following whichever convention they're familiar with. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 06:22, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    That's fair. If the terminology's ambiguous without sources showing that it's used one way or the other, I support deletion. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 08:43, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unsure what the point of this redirect is, as Genesee Expressway already redirects to Interstate 390, this seems a vanishingly unlikely search term. Mako001 (C)  (T) (The Alternate Mako) 14:11, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned at the target with this spelling or a few other plausible alternatives that I tried. Nothing illuminating came up in an internet search. Delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 20:55, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Jo Joon-Young (Cho Jun-Young; 조준영) is an actor signed to SM [1] -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 10:04, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I disagree in the deletion of Cho Jun-young, as he is a new actor signed under SM Entertainment. It may not currently appear on search engines unless it is typed in Hangul: 조준영. For reference: [2] ReVeluv02 (talk) 12:46, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment added Cho Junyoung. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 00:12, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The change was reverted immediately with comment Seriously search results as references??? Provide primary source or secondary news source instead. Jay (talk) 04:47, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Jay: I think you meant this as a reply to someone else? To clarify my comment, I mean that I added Cho Junyoung to this nomination, since they should both be deleted or point to the same target. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 00:57, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you meant you added Cho Jun-Young to SM Entertainment artists. I did not realize that it was IP 103.111.143.33 who added it, and which was reverted. Jay (talk) 05:02, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is he the same as Young Sky or Sky of the One Way (South Korean band)? See this Wikipedia mirror. Jay (talk) 04:47, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • No @Jay:. The one you were referring to was born in 1988. The one currently discussed was born on 2002. However the one born on 2002 is notable rather than the 1988 and he doesn't use Cho Junyoung as he uses his stage name. ReVeluv02 (talk) 14:41, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you are adding a mention to SM Entertainment artists of the artist being discussed, then we can retarget there. Jay (talk) 16:38, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was no consensus. WP:TRAINWRECK.

A group of soft redirects from mathematical symbols. As they are not commonly wikified words or repeatedly recreated, a soft redirect is unneeded per WP:SSRT and so they should be deleted. Worth noting that many of the Wiktionary entries do not contain a definition (example) making the soft redirect useless. Note that given the number of redirects and how little they are used I have not tagged the pages, but will do so if requested. BilledMammal (talk) 00:40, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Do not delete. Never delete unicode characters. Every symbol at Mathematical Operators (Unicode block) contains a link to its redirect target. Deleting any symbol will cause a red link at the table. If there is a plausible search term, then it could be redirected there. I am yet to see other non-existent unicode charactes. Neel.arunabh (talk) 00:54, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • If the symbol is notable, a red link helps editors identify articles that needs to be created. If the symbol is not notable, it should not be linked as is already the case with some symbols on that table such as ⋙. BilledMammal (talk) 01:01, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all: "Because it will leave a red link on a certain table" is not an acceptable rationale to keep a bad redirect. The answer is to remove the links. Ravenswing 13:42, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I am yet to come across any other non-existent unicode character in Wikipedia. Nearly, every unicode character does have some redirect. Neel.arunabh (talk) 14:23, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all, at a spotcheck these entries are definitions that provide no info. CMD (talk) 15:14, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Regarding keeping the ones with definitions, ⊷ was liested as an example below, and it's Wikitictionary entry is "Symbol ⊷ (mathematics) Image of". I'm not sure how that helps a Wikipedia reader. I am happy to adjust my !vote to support Pppery's retargets to article sections, but I'm still not seeing the Wikitictionary links as useful. CMD (talk) 10:05, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I sympathize that many RfD participants would oppose deleting unicode characters. But, let us wait till we get a consensus. Neel.arunabh (talk) 16:29, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've attempted to fix the nom so that all the correct targets are listed. My regex-replace assumed that all redirects are pointing to that exact term on Wiktionary; if that's incorrect, I welcome anyone to fix the relevant entries. I've also tagged all of the redirects using JWB. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 21:45, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • So, acknowledging that there was an attempt to canvass me here, but noting that I didn't see that due to a failed ping and only became aware of it after my above comment, and because I think there's an important precedent to be set(?) on redirects to Wiktionary where the Wiktionary entry has no definition: Keep ⋷, ⋶, ⋇, ⊷, ⊶, ⊮, ⊬, ⊝, ⊺, ⊏, ≬, ≂, and ∔ because their Wiktionary entries have definitions. Delete the rest without prejudice against recreation if definitions are added to the corresponding Wiktionary entries. For the sake of the closer, I've replaced the bullets in this nomination with #s, so: That's redirects 9, 10, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 30, 32, 37, 39, 40, and 41. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 22:45, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget ⋷ and ⋶ to Element (mathematics)#Notation and terminology. Retarget ≂ to Approximation#Typography. Keep the remaining ones with definitions, and Delete the ones without definitions. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:34, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • 9, 10, and 40, for benefit of the closer. I would support retargeting those, but I would oppose keeping the ones with Wiktionary definitions, as they don't seem to meet our requirements for crosswiki redirects. BilledMammal (talk) 00:37, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The "requirements" for soft redirects you refer to are not requirements, they are guidelines that indicate some of the situations when soft redirects are typically useful or not useful. The language there is far firmer than it should be based on the consensus of RfD discussions over the years. Thryduulf (talk) 15:32, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do not delete. I haven't got time to look at each one in detail at the moment, but every single unicode character oustide the private use area is a likely search term and should be a blue link. Soft redirects to Wiktionary entries that contain infomration about the character are fine, redirects to local pages with information about the character (even if it is just a list) are usually better.
