Revision as of 21:19, 28 January 2021

January 23

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on January 23, 2021.

Marianne Schifferer

As mentioned in the article, Marianne Schönauer's real name was Schifferes after her father Karl Schifferes. Schifferer appears to be a plausible typo, as this is the more common and 'natural' name in German. But we should not prolong and encourage the error by having that redirect. KnightMove (talk) 21:45, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, agreed. Lord Cornwallis (talk) 22:32, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mordecai Blue jay

"Blue jay" is not the character's surname, and it's highly unlikely anyone would type the character's name and their species. Dominicmgm (talk) 12:25, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dave Creek

Not mentioned at the target, delete unless a duly sourced mention can be provided signed, Rosguill talk 21:12, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Now mentioned and referenced in the target. Was quite easy to find. Took me 2 seconds. Royalrec (talk) 21:51, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ORCHID

Delete ambiguous redirect with unhelpful target. ~Kvng (talk) 18:20, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ORCHID appears to refer to a manufacturer and a network protocol. Neither appears to be notable. If we created ORCHID (disambiguation) as you seem to be suggesting, it would have two redlinks and a WP:TWODAB problem. Deleting this redirect appears to be a better solution. ~Kvng (talk) 16:29, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not suggesting creating ORCHID (disambiguation), I'm suggesting possibly retargetting the redirect to the existing dab page that covers all capitalisations of the word. The manufacturer is definitely not notable and we have no content other than their name in a list, the network protocol is notable in context given that it's covered (albeit briefly) in about three places in the IPv6 article, and it's also something that people will definitely be looking for encyclopaedic information about. The only question is whether the network protocol is the primary topic for "ORCHID" in all caps, if yes then we should refine the redirect to the relevant section of the article, if it isn't then we should be targetting the disambiguation page. There is no situation here in which deletion is appropriate. Thryduulf (talk) 16:42, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'd say neither is a primary topic for ORCHID so retargeting to Orchid (disambiguation) is a reasonable WP:ATD. ~Kvng (talk) 23:54, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Drive pulley

There is no direct link between "drive pulley" and "drum motor" (many types of motors may have a pulley). I am not sure that "drive pulley" needs a page, deciding about this is beyond my technical knowledge, but for sure, if it exists, then it should not redirect to a type of motor. "drive pulley" may possibly redirect to just "pulley", that would already be much better I think ("drive pulley" is used in at least one wikipedia page on turntables, where pulley would be fine).

Template:Test template

No reason this should redirect to the signpost. Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 15:22, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Manganime

If anything, this should be retargeted to Anime and manga, though I don't know how plausible this portmanteau is. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 14:02, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

European English

This would be better targeted at English language in Europe. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 13:26, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

PLAYPOLICY

XNRs like this should use a pseudo-namespace; this one doesn't. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 13:23, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This could be any kind of ID. I don't think this is a likely search term. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 13:06, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bardo Nerang/sandbox

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. I restored the user's sandbox. — The Earwig talk 16:06, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CSD R2 does not apply for XNRs to Wikipedia namespace, so I nominate this here. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 13:04, 23 January 2021 (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.

AFCR

XNRs like this should use a pseudo-namespace; this one doesn't. As AFCRC is also a redirect, this might result in additional confusion. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 12:59, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:BW

Once redirected to bioware subpage, but has since been retargeted to the root WikiProject Video games page. Confusing and probably unnecessary. --C o r t e x 💬talk 11:34, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dow Village, California

Redirect resulting from reversion of an undiscussed arbitrary page move — the problem with the comma-California title will become instantly apparent when I reveal that the target is in Trinidad and Tobago, and not the United States as any normal person would have expected upon seeing "comma California". While there is a populated place in Trinidad named "California", its article describes it as a neighbourhood within the larger town of Couva rather than a standalone town in its own right -- and while Dow Village does happen to be near that California, our naming convention for municipal neighbourhoods that require disambiguation is "neighbourhood, town", not "neighbourhood, other neighbourhood", so the correct disambiguator here is "Couva" rather than "California". Since this title is not just harmlessly incorrect according to our naming conventions but crosses the line into being actively misleading, and the original page move to this title was arbitrary and undiscussed in the first place, the redirect should be deleted rather than being left to stand. Bearcat (talk) 11:06, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

May I assume that the disambiguator is supposed to be an "official" one? In Trinidad the smallest administrative unit is the community, and the next bigger one is the region already, apart from two cities and three boroughs. Couva is a town, but it is not an administrative unit. The disambiguatro should be Couva–Tabaquite–Talparo then, and Siparia region for the other Dow. The "California" redirect can be deleted. Just my 2ct. Kind regards, Grueslayer 11:28, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The normal way the town is described in TT is "Dow Village, California", not simply Dow Village, to distinguish it from the other Dow Village (Dow Village, South Oropouche). At issue here isn't Wikipedia's disambiguation rules, but the actual COMMONNAME. To illustrate this, try searching site:guardian.co.tt "dow village, couva" which gets 19 hits versus site:guardian.co.tt "dow village, california" which gets 197 hits. The fact that there's also a California in the US/ Mexico is beside the point - California is Trinidad is believed to derive from an indigenous group, and like other names of this sort form the oldest substratum of place names. The construction of the Point Lisas Industrial Estate (in California) and the construction of several government housing developments (in California) have led to the whole area being perceived as being "Couva" (especially by outsiders). Guettarda (talk) 15:42, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Guettarda's explanation, and strongly urge someone to add a paragraph explaining this to the article (or at a minimum, to the talk page). Maybe also create the redirect Dow Village, California, Trinidad and Tobago. JesseW, the juggling janitor 16:10, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment if kept, the target may need a {{redirect-distinguish}} hatnote for Dow, California (and perhaps vice-versa). 61.239.39.90 (talk) 02:01, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep with {{redirect-distinguish}} hatnote. MB 19:47, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, but with cleanup suggested above by JesseW, 61..., et al. This is actually potentially very confusing, since probably 99.99% of our readers have no idea there is a California in T&T.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  12:12, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

BiFME

Delete. I cannot figure out what these redirects are supposed to be refering to. It's not an initialism of the games name, they're not mentioned in the target artice and none of my searches online turned up any revevant results. These have very low numbers of page views, 4 views a year each. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 10:56, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

3DPD

Soft redirect to deleted Wiktionary entry. Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 09:56, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

53x

Soft redirect to Wiktionary, but not mentioned in target page or independently on Wiktionary. Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 09:51, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I can't find that it was ever included in the Wiktionary appendix, and it isn't mentionend anywhere on Wikipedia or elsewhere on Wiktionary. Although I can find several definitions on Google saying it's leet for "sex" I can't immediately find any actual uses. Thryduulf (talk) 14:30, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - This was added to List of Internet slang phrases (as of 21 January 2006, at 11:03) by 141.18.1.19 Deleted revision, without a listed source. I then created the redirect a few months later (on 09:47, 20 March 2006‎). I don't have a strong opinion on keeping or deleting the redirect (but it's nice to see people paying attention to something this old!) JesseW, the juggling janitor 16:00, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Brennage

Interwiki of a very rare word to wiktionary that only has a definition in Middle French. Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 08:20, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

cross-wiki redirect to Wiktionary, only language there is French, this is not a heavily-trafficked redirect or common word Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 08:13, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Spider-Man 11

This is not the 11th Spider-Man film. Retargeting would be just plain WP:CRYSTAL and/or WP:TOOSOON. I suggest delete. Dominicmgm (talk) 05:02, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Far From Home is the 2nd Spider-Man film in the THIRD cinematic iteration of the Spider-Man series. Yoshiman6464 ♫🥚 07:04, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't have an opinion on the matter, really. I created the redirect in 2019 after reading an article that referred to the film as such, and redirects are cheap. I don't remember the source anymore, and didn't include it because I've never seen a sourced redirect. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 17:16, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Regardless of whether this is kept the current target is wrong since it’s actually the 12th film not the 11th. looking at Spider-Man in film we had 3 US made for TV films, 1 Japanese film based on the Toei series, the Raimi trilogy, 2 Amazing Spider Man films, and the actual 11th film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse between the most recent live action films (the last of which being Far from Home). My best guess is that whoever called it the 11th film either forgot Spider-Verse came first or was unaware of the Japanese theatrical release.--65.92.160.124 (talk) 19:24, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    So basically either delete or retarget to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.--65.92.160.124 (talk) 19:25, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - counting only the US-made films you can make a rational argument that this is the 11th Spider-Man film, but I can't see any evidence they're actually ever referred to in that way. There's no common continuity or production company across the 11 films, and any unofficial numbering used in media is only really used within the individual groups of films. As this is only arguably the 11th film, with no real usage of the term, this seems more likely to be ambiguously unhelpful than it is to actually assist someone. ~ mazca talk 13:24, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per mazca, et al. This is basically weird OR that will not even agree with other people doing slightly different OR about how to count and label Spider-Man movies.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  12:35, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    In my own defense, as I said above, I created the redirect after coming across a reliable source that used it in this manner. I didn’t cite that source because I’ve never seen a cited redirect, and I cannot support it now because I don’t remember where I read it, anymore. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 17:03, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah, don't take the criticism of the redirect personally. It sounds like you had a rational reason for making it - it just now seems like the source (whatever it was) probably had a pretty stupid reason for using it themselves! ~ mazca talk 19:09, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Devastator (Ratchet and Clank)

This weapon appears in the first game in the series the target article covers, but it isn't mentioned in either article. These redirects also don't seem to get very many pageviews nowadays, and nothing links to them (at least not anymore) As such, I'm thinking they should be deleted (especially the one with the error in disambiguation) unless a justification can be provided.
