Revision as of 11:10, 1 March 2022

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on March 1, 2022.

Wikipedia talk:SOAP

Wikipedia:SOAP and its talk page, each redirect to very different places. Currently:

WP:SOAP => Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion

WT:SOAP => Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Soap Operas

-- DB1729 (talk) 11:10, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Western leftism

I'm not sure the target page can be considered the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC or that it's a neutral destination. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 07:06, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment the target notes this redirect in a hatnote and suggests readers might be interesting in the general left-wing politics article. Google results show the current target to be the single most common thing referred to, but nowhere near primary topic over various different leftist groups/people/ideologies/parties in the cultural West with exact meaning depending heavily on context. I need to think more about this. Thryduulf (talk) 09:32, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:BC

This page should be made a disambiguation page, for the reason that I outline for other redirects (edited) of this ilk: undue focus (to quote another RfD commentor) on a niche WikiProject, when there are a few other pages (like WP:Bureaucrats) that can also fit this acronym. Even though the Brit. Col. WikiProject is not as dormant as others, it is still not fairly accommodating all navigators of this redirect. NotReallySoroka (talk) 06:11, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • For another example of provincial WikiProject being dabified this way, see WP:MB and its RfD. NotReallySoroka (talk) 06:15, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per all my comments at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 February 13#MS and Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 February 12#EE. Unless you can show some evidence of this redirect being actually (not theoretically) problematic (for example by a significant proportion of links being intended for a different target than the current one) then there is only harm and no benefit from change. Thryduulf (talk) 10:59, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disambiguate, but not per the nominator, who has failed to advance any convincing rationale for why this should be disambiguated. Potential ambiguity is not on it's own a sufficient reason to break incoming links, nor are vague assertions that the target is niche. The whole point of shortcut redirects is to provide a quick way of navigating to pages, disambiguation essentially destroys a large part of the utility of them. This should be disambiguated because it originally targeted WP:Bootcamp, and was widely used in welcome templates for new users before being retargeted to point at the wikiproject, in fact WT:BC still points to the old place. Doing a spot check of incoming links to this redirect suggests to me that a significant proportion of them (certainly several thousand) are supposed to be targeting the help page. 192.76.8.70 (talk) 11:48, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tangan

Delete. This word is not mentioned at the target, wikt:tangan tells me it does mean "hand" in many languages, including Malay and Indonesian, but it also a romansiation of two different Japanese words (meaning "entreaty, petition, to implore, to beg" and "Simple eye" or "one-eyed creature") and a verb form of the Spanish word "tangar" meaning "to trick" or "to swindle". Gooogle Maps tells me it's also the name of a settlement in Tajikistan, but I can't verify that in reliable sources. Wikipedia search results find primarily partial title matches for several Iranian vilages, and phrases in Indonesian or Malay. Thryduulf (talk) 17:26, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lynching of Wollo University professors

Not mentioned at the target, delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 17:14, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom; misleading redirect. 98.179.127.59 (talk) 16:07, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Restore to pre-redirect version. This along with some 100 articles were part of an AfD which closed to encourage smaller batches of nominations, but this was not re-nominated. The talk page discussions had support for redirect with the suggestion from Platonk that if, after doing the redirect method, there is objection then one could always undo the redirect and start a proposal..

Heather Langenkamp (Wes Craven's New Nightmare character)

No articles link to redirect. Created by user who has a nine-page talk page archive of notices for deletion of redirects, categories and orphaned images, the majority of which have been removed. AldezD (talk) 19:35, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget, same as § Heather Langenkamp (Wes Craven's New Nightmare) Paradoctor (talk) 20:42, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Paradoctor. This is a character in that movie, it is discussed at the target. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 13:38, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I assume you mean Retarget? Because that's what I propose, and what you said below. ;) Paradoctor (talk) 20:58, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    There's no anchor for the paragraph Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) at Nancy Thompson (A Nightmare on Elm Street); this current target article discusses the topic. The rationale for keeping the redirect is the same, the target is different. It should keep pointing to the Nancy article. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 03:30, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    What you are saying here makes no sense. Both redirects should go to the same target, yet on one you !vote retarget, and on the other you vote keep. Would you please clarify what you are voting for? Paradoctor (talk) 06:35, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    This redirect contains "character", and the target is a fictional character article discussing the fictional Heather. The other redirect is missing "character" and could equally refer to the actress herself instead of her fictionalized version, thus should target the movie, since both are equially represented there under the topic of "Wes Craven's New Nightmare" instead of "Wes Craven's New Nightmare character". The "character" redirect thus justifiably redirects to a character article, where a variant of that character occurs with the name "Heather" in a paragraph of coverage. The "character"-less redirect should point to the film article, as it could be referring to the real-ife actress as well as the fictionalized actress character, and thus points to the film article where both occur in the context of that movie. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 14:16, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    If "Heather Langenkamp (Wes Craven's New Nightmare)" could also refer to the actress, it would be ambiguous between the real actress and the fictional actress. If the real actress is the primary meaning, the redirect should point to Heather Langenkamp. If the fictional actress is the primary, it should point to the same target as the other redirect, as both are about the the fictional actress.
    Either way, it should not point to the Nancy article. Subtopic redirects go to their supertopic, not other articles excerpting the supertopic. Paradoctor (talk) 15:36, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sope Willams- Elegbe

Name of redirect is not viable with the space but page contains some historic content and actually pre-dates existing article page. The redirect Sope Willams-Elegbe already exists with content. Djm-leighpark (talk) 03:49, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ask The Big Banana

I'm not sure that this is an acceptable alternate title, episode title, or quote from the show that meets the notability guidelines. Google search results are inconclusive. — Paper Luigi TC 03:20, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Birdman Coast to Coast

I'm not sure that this is an acceptable alternate title, episode title, or quote from the show that meets the notability guidelines. Google search results are inconclusive. — Paper Luigi TC 03:20, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sophia the Martyr (Q15916381)

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 speedy delete per WP:CSD#G7. Thryduulf (talk) 09:35, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Per numerous past discussions, we don't keep redirects with Q numbers. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:11, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page.

Gamma-aminobutylic acid

a potentially misleading misspelling that might incorrectly imply the compound contains a butyl group, otherwise an unlikely misspelling in any case. Delete. Mdewman6 (talk) 02:58, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Another Wiktionary redirect from Neel.arunabh that targets an empty Wiktionary page. The current target here is completely inadequate containing only the unicode character name and a message that someone needs to add a definition. Unless a proper definition is added this should be retargeted to something local or deleted 192.76.8.77 (talk) 01:30, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note that Neel.arunabh has added the useless definition (mathematics) inverted lazy s, which is identical to the description. That helps no one and does not change my position that the redirect should be deleted unless a local target is identified. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:11, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Supermassive star

Supermassive stars are a specific type of star theorised in recent years to have existed in the early universe (e.g. [1] ) which should have a page of their own; the wiki-link should not simply redirect to the list of *current* most massive stars observed Fig (talk) 20:38, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mass formation

Used in a wide variety of contexts in academic literature, from fluid dynamics to microbiology to applied medicine. Not well-described anywhere on Wikipedia, although "Mass formation psychosis" is discussed in some detail at Robert_W._Malone#COVID-19. Given the circumstances, I think that deletion to allow for search results is appropriate. signed, Rosguill talk 18:23, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a number of substantive examples of "mass formation" being used in other fields as a standalone phrase (i.e., not as "XXX mass formation", which is usually to be parsed as "[XXX mass] formation" not as "XXX [mass formation]" and therefore irrelevant)? Google hits at the moment reveal overwhelming support for this being used in the context of "mass formation psychosis" (correctly parsed as "[mass formation] psychosis"), which is a term apparently invented by Mattias Desmet (not Robert Malone) based on the real term "mass formation" used by Freud in this book. There's no question that--regardless of its veracity--"mass formation" is a significant concept in public discourse at the moment and that this book is its origin... Bueller 007 (talk) 19:31, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The most common result after discarding "[XXX mass] formation"-form results is for mass formation in medical contexts: [2], [3], [4]. These are just a small sample, I scrolled through 6 pages of GScholar results for "mass formation" -water (as "water mass formation" is the most common result for the [XXX mass] form) and found no results about psychology, group or otherwise. Can you provide any scholarly examples where "mass formation" is invoked without the phrase "psychosis" to refer to the social psychology usage? signed, Rosguill talk 15:13, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Given the current association with COVID misinformation, any change to an article (or disambig) should probably be workshopped in draft space first. Bakkster Man (talk) 19:41, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think that these redirects would serve our readers better targeting the article on Thai numerals, rather than pointing to the articles on the value that each of these characters represents. The articles on the numbers only contain a passing mention of these characters in the infobox, as opposed to the article on Thai numerals which contains a wealth of information on how they are pronounced, how they are used, their etymology etc etc etc. We have several hundered of these redirects for various numeral systems and a lot of these redirects are ancient, so I think it would be good to have a discussion about which target is preferable. 192.76.8.77 (talk) 00:00, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget as suggested. I think this is much more likely to be helpful to readers than the redirects to the individual numbers. After all, if somebody is interested in one Thai digit then it is very likely that they will also be interested in the others and in how they are used. If we think that some readers might actually want the individual number articles then we can link them from Thai numerals so that they are still within easy reach. --DanielRigal (talk) 00:21, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget all Happy Editing--IAmChaos 01:18, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget all to Thai numerals * Pppery * it has begun... 03:11, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget all before someone redirects A to 10, B to 11 (number), C to 12 (number), etc. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 08:12, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
About 15 years ago: A (digit), B (digit), C (digit), D (digit), E (digit), F (digit). ;) Paradoctor (talk) 10:12, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
