This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on July 25, 2022.

Just dance the movie

• Just dance the movie → Just Dance 2  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I would like this redirect deleted because it has been unedited for so long, and there is no such thing as a Just Dance movie. 209.221.91.116 (talk) 14:02, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:TI

• Wikipedia:TI → Wikipedia:Contents/Categories  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I think it would be better to redirect the page to the Wikipedia:Template index, as I don't understand why this is short for Contents/Categories. Q28 (talk) 08:32, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

It looks like it originally pointed to Wikipedia:Topical index. but has been moved around a bit to avoid double redirects, hence landing at a name that doesnt quite fit the 'TI', but it's old enough I daresay keep. Happy Editing--IAmChaos 02:29, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Keep. This is plausible and can occur. Castncoot (talk) 14:20, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

@Castncoot: Could you please elaborate? I don't understand why you think this redirect is plausible and how it can occur? CycloneYoris ^talk! 13:01, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

• Retarget to Wikipedia:Template index per nom. The present target is confusing and there's really no obvious reason why this should keep targeting there. CycloneYoris ^talk! 13:06, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

• Disambiguate. There are too many plausible meanings for a two-letter combination. BD2412 T 19:50, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
• Retarget per nom. We should always be very conservative with shortcut redirects due to the high potential for confusion and harm from changing meanings of old discussions, links and unlinked uses. However in this case there is exactly one actual use (not mention) of this redirect and while I don't know what it is referring to, the current target doesn't make sense: In 2016, Pluto2012 wrote at Talk:Mount Zion#The poor state of this article Crock81 adds a lot of WP:TI, which lack reliable sources.. Disambiguating shortcuts makes them useless, so should only be used when there are multiple targets that people equally expect to be at the shortcut, which is not the case here. The current target is not logical, unlike the proposed target, so it is the latter that is more likely to get uses. Thryduulf (talk) 20:55, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
• Retarget to Wikipedia:Template index, the only page provided that would naturally abbreviate this way. -- Tavix ^(talk) 23:19, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
• Disambiguate for the topical index (ie. TOC) and the template index; and per BD2412 -- 64.229.88.43 (talk) 22:47, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

List of crystals

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 delete per G7. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 06:15, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

• List of crystals → List of gemstones by species  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This is not a sensible redirect, because most crystals are not gemstones, and not all gemstones are crystals. We didn't need a redirect for this before, and don't now. If someone wants to create a list article for crystals they are welcome to do so, but this redirect is pointless and should be deleted. Srleffler (talk) 03:01, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

• Delete per the IP comment at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Physics#"List_of_crystals" which led to this RfD. The vast majority of alloys and non-polymeric compounds are crystalline in the solid phase, as are all the known clemical elements. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 03:48, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

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.

Roctober

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

• Rocktober → 2007 Colorado Rockies season  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

These seems like an oddly specific target for a word that is used rather generically, as evidenced by numerous other uses in the encyclopedia. Roctober (with no "k") points to October. I would retarget this, or disambiguate in some way. BD2412 T 17:20, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

• Delete to facilitate uninhibited Search (48 other entries). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:45, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

• Note. I have not proposed the deletion of this title. I do not share User:Shhhnotsoloud's confidence in the utility of the Search function. BD2412 T 17:10, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
• Delete or disambiguate both the Rocktober and Roctober redirects, as there appears to be no clear primary topic for either term. —QueenofBithynia (talk) 23:18, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
• Keep, this looks to be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC after my review. After reviewing the nominator's evidence, most other usage seemed to be either WP:PTM or too minor for disambiguation. What other uses did you have in mind? In fact, I would also retarget Roctober to 2007 Colorado Rockies season, it seems to be an alternate spelling (eg: [1] [2] [3]) -- Tavix ^(talk) 15:57, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
  • I am very confident that the generic reference to October, at least, is primary over the baseball season. BD2412 T 23:06, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
    • What reference? The October article does not mention Roc(k)ober. -- Tavix ^(talk) 02:14, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Bundled Roctober which is also being discussed by participants.
