This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on March 1, 2021.

Witch Lesbians

• Witch Lesbians → Motherland: Fort Salem  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Doesn't appear to be an alternative name for the target, delete unless a justification can be provided. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 17:49, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

• Comment The related redirect Gay witchcraft targets Modern Pagan views on LGBT people. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 17:54, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Just to clarify - I'm not endorsing retargeting there, just mentioning a related redirect. I'm not sure what to do with this redirect at the moment. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 22:52, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
• Retarget Motherland Fort Salem can't be the only mention of witch lesbians in media; it doesn't make sense to redirect there. I'm not sure if the page needs to exist at all? But if it does then should redirect to "Modern Pagan views on LGBT people" as stated above me. Apathyash (talk) 22:48, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris ^talk! 19:17, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

WebView

• WebView → Microsoft Edge  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Procedural nomination; redirect was blanked by LMB with the following reason:

WebView is NOT Microsoft Edge! Perhaps Edge is based on WebView, but it's a way more general technology than Edge.

JJP...MASTER!_{[talk to] JJP... master?} 19:12, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

My basis for the redirect:

• Bringing a modern WebView to your .NET WinForms and WPF Apps - Microsoft Edge Blog
• Microsoft Edge WebView2 Control - Microsoft Edge Development | Microsoft Docs

I agree that there is not much information regarding WebView in the Microsoft Edge article (yet). Any better ideas where else to redirect instead? You may also want to start an article on WebView. Ghettoblaster (talk) 19:48, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Colors

• Colors → Color (disambiguation)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

• Colours → Color  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I'm pretty sure that these ought to go to the same place. Which is better? I've looked at a number of other pairs of colo(u)r page titles (multicolor, colourful, etc.), and every pair goes to the same place, except for colored and coloured, which are distinct articles covering different topics. Nyttend (talk) 18:20, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

It from bit

• It from bit → Digital physics#Wheeler.27s .22it from bit.22  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

• It from Bit → Digital physics#Wheeler.27s .22it from bit.22  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Article just got overhauled to remove synthesis of unrelated ideas, and this theory is no longer discussed in detail anywhere on Wikipedia. It is mentioned only in passing even on proposer John Archibald Wheeler's article. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:35, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

• Retarget to John Archibald Wheeler where the phrase is mentioned in the lead and discussed in the section "Participatory Anthropic Principle". 86.23.109.101 (talk) 17:42, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Cityfight

• Cityfight → Warhammer 40,000#Cities of Death  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

• City Fight → Cityfight: Modern Combat in the Urban Environment  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

• City-Fight → Cityfight: Modern Combat in the Urban Environment  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

• City fight → Urban warfare  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This is a bit of a mess of redirects in my opinion, with slight variations in capitalisation and punctuation sending readers to three very different articles. The warhammer 40K redirect is a partial title match for a codex (rule book) that was released as part of the Cities of Death expansion pack, the other two are self explanatory. My gut feeling with this is to retarget all of these to Cityfight: Modern Combat in the Urban Environment and hatnote to the article on Urban warfare, but I could also see the argument for disambiguation. There's also the related City fighting redirect, Which I won't nominate here to avoid a trainwreck. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 15:58, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Rhino (Warhammer 40,000)

• Rhino (Warhammer 40,000) → Warhammer 40,000#Rhino  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

• Space Marine Rhino → Warhammer 40,000#Rhino  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Yet more broken 40K Vehicle redirects, again these are supposed to be pointing at a section of Vehicles of the Space Marines in Warhammer 40,000, which was deleted in 2011. I can find no coverage of this tank anywhere in the encyclopaedia. If kept this would probably be better targeting Space Marine (Warhammer 40,000), but they're not covered there either, just given a name drop as an example of a transport vehicle. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 13:42, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Razorback (Warhammer 40,000)

• Razorback (Warhammer 40,000) → Warhammer 40,000#Razorback  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Another broken warhammer vehicle redirect. This is supposed to be a section redirect to Vehicles of the Space Marines in Warhammer 40,000, but that article was deleted in 2011. I can't find any coverage of this vehicle anywhere in the encyclopedia. If kept this would probably be better targeting Space Marine (Warhammer 40,000) as the army that uses the vehicle, but it's not covered there either 86.23.109.101 (talk) 13:27, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Space Marine Predator

• Space Marine Predator → Warhammer 40,000#Predator  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

• Predator Annihilator → Warhammer 40,000#Predator  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

• Baal Predator → Warhammer 40,000#Predator variants  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

These are three redirects for variants of a space marine tank which is not discussed in the target article. These used to be section redirects to Vehicles of the Space Marines in Warhammer 40,000 which was redirected to the main warhammer 40,000 article (With a bot "Fixing" the resulting double redirects by retargeting them), before being restored and nominated for an AfD discussion, which ended with the article being deleted. These broken section redirects were left behind from the bot retargeting them to the main article, and should probably have been G8'd when the main article was deleted. If kept these would be better targeting Space Marine (Warhammer 40,000), but there's no content on these tanks there, just a name drop as an example of a tank the space marines use 86.23.109.101 (talk) 13:04, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Greatest Team of the Greatest Club

• Greatest Team of the Greatest Club → Port Adelaide Football Club  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete - completely implausible for a typo, not to mention unbiased in favour of the club. Empoleonmaster23 (talk) 12:47, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

• Delete way too ambiguous to target this specific club. While the club did make a list if their greatest players this idea is not unique to this club and a huge number of sports teams have made similar lists. A google search has basically every result relate to a different team. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 14:18, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
• Refine to Port Adelaide Football Club#Greatest Team if that section gets referenced. It's an ambiguous term, but in the context of Wikipedia the term isn't ambiguous. I'm wary refining the redirect to an unreferenced section per WP:V and as readers would likely be looking for further information through references, so in that scenario probably restore article and send to AfD this revision (there's some news coverage of the topic). At any stretch, don't delete as it isn't in RfD's remit to remove article content from public view. — J947 ‡ ^{message ⁓ edits} 22:42, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Leman Russ

• Leman Russ → Warhammer 40,000#Leman Russ  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This is a higly ambiguous redirect because there are two things in the warhammer 40,000 universe called leman russ, neither of which is discussed at the target article - a charcter and a tank. The character used to have an entry at Primarch, which was deleted following an AfD nomination, but is still mentioned in The Horus Heresy. There's also an argument to be made that this should target Space Marine (Warhammer 40,000), as the character acts as the leader of a space marine army. The vehicle used to be discussed in Vehicles of the Imperial Guard in Warhammer 40,000 which was deleted following an AfD nomination, but still has a mention in Imperial Guard (Warhammer 40,000). The article content in the page history was transwikied in 2007, following which the article was turned into a redirect. Since there are 3 possible targets for this I propose deletion to allow uninhibited search results. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 12:41, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Nipple H

• Nipple H → Stephanie McMahon  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The only edit the creator ever made was to create this redirect. The edit summary from 2008 signals that they knew it would come under scrutiny because they denied vandalizing the encyclopedia in it. It's just too bad it took over 13 years to bring it here. They say it's a fan nickname and I don't know if that's true, but if it is then too obscure and defamatory to be useful to us. LM2000 (talk) 04:06, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete G10 / G3 The only mention I can find of this "Nickname" is an entry on urban dictionary, which leads me to believe that this is either something the redirect creator made up or is pure vandalism. Given the lack of mention of this name in the article and the complete lack of reliable sources covering this it should be deleted due to BLP concerns. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 14:26, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
• Delete. Pejorative redirects like this are harmful unless they are actually in wide use, which this one does not seem to be. In any case, there's no discussion of "Nipple H" in the target article. The only other usage I can find for this is a parts description for one sort of valve fitting, which also is not covered in the encyclopedia. 50.248.234.77 (talk) 15:18, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
• Delete despite what the creator claimed it’s not a common nickname. I’m not sure if a speedy deletion works here it’s over a decade old so nowhere near recent enough for G3 and I’m doubt it qualifies as an attack.--70.27.244.104 (talk) 00:25, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

The Scabs (Amercican band)

• The Scabs (Amercican band) → Bob Schneider  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Implausible typo, and not linked from elsewhere Ionmars10 (talk) 01:57, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

• Keep; the decent amount of pageviews shows that the redirect is linked from somewhere (outside Wikipedia). Ionmars10, please don't move redirects per [[1]]. — J947 ‡ ^{message ⁓ edits} 03:18, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Meant to reference WP:MOVEREDIRECT there. — J947 ‡ ^{message ⁓ edits} 05:37, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
• Keep The band is mentioned several times in his article. Seems like a sensible redirect.LM2000 (talk) 04:11, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
  • The redirect contains a typo; it can be hard to notice and the fact that you didn't notice it adds to the plausibility of the typo. — J947 ‡ ^{message ⁓ edits} 04:19, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
    • Aye, and apparently I'm not the only one. I've never typed with an extra C into the search bar, but per your evidence, plenty of others have.LM2000 (talk) 05:12, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
• Weak keep per above. 50 page views a year is about the level where I consider a typo to be plausible (that's purely my opinion, not backed by policy), but since the correct spelling redirect was only created yesterday I'd be interested to see how many people are still using this in a years time. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 14:31, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
