April 9

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on April 9, 2023.

Noam Chomsky/Colorless green ideas sleep furiously

• Noam Chomsky/Colorless green ideas sleep furiously → Colorless green ideas sleep furiously  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Implausible redirect. Someone who's wrong on the internet (talk) 08:53, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

• Keep – {{R with old history}}, when subpages were commonplace in mainspace. J947 † ^edits 10:08, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Dsuke1998AEOS (talk) 11:53, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

• Delete: The old history referred to appears to be the redirect itself rather than an article. The "What links here" refers to this RfD rather than a reference to a page move. I agree, this is a very implausible redirect. — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 14:00, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

  That's because the article history was history merged into Colorless green ideas sleep furiously in 2008 [1]. The article was at this title in 2001, see this edit from it bein "de-subpaged" [2]. 192.76.8.84 (talk) 17:43, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

• Keep per WP:RFD#K4. Deleting a subpage that's been here since 2002 could be harmful. - Eureka Lott 15:01, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

  Age does not automatically confer any value, nor damage if deleted. — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 16:45, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

United States America

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 keep. (non-admin closure) Estar8806 (talk) 16:24, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

• United States America → United States  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The redirect is missing the prepositions. And was never written like "United States America" I think. So this redirect deserves to get Speedy deleted. ErceÇamurOfficial (talk) 08:52, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

• Keep This is a plausible misspelling. None of the reasons in WP:R#DELETE apply. As for suggesting that this should be speedily deleted, none of the reasons in WP:RCSD apply either. Even if one were to claim that this was not a plausible typo or misnomer, it has been around since 2013, so it is not "recently created" and thus fails WP:R3. Meters (talk) 09:04, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

  Ohhhh yeah, you are right.... We can actually keep it for those who accidentally write the country name without the "of" ErceÇamurOfficial (talk) 09:30, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. 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).

Template:Wikiproject Denmark

• Template:Wikiproject Denmark → Template:WikiProject Denmark  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

To be deleted. No point to double every WikiProject-template with a non-capitalized phrase. Unsystematic naming and not harmonizing with other similar templates, see an example Special:Diff/974219244. In total we have 390 such cases, full list here https://quarry.wmcloud.org/query/72912 Estopedist1 (talk) 06:29, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

• Keep WP:CHEAP, longstanding, harmless, not misleading in any way - indeed, I can't find anything at WP:R#DELETE that applies here. If there has been a recent spate of creating redirs for variant capitalisations, a bundled RfD may be appropriate, but I don't see that as having happened here. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:33, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

File:Doom-boxart.jpg

• File:Doom-boxart.jpg → File:Doom cover art.jpg  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete: Viewing "What links here", the original file was orphaned and then deleted for failing fair use rationale, as well as being an invalid example of the Doom (1993 video game) box art (The Ultimate Doom cover had been edited to remove text which properly identified the edition). The redirect only has creation history, and no talk page. I propose deleting the redirect, because the discussions which link to the redirect reference only the deleted file. Those links would become red links, which is an appropriate outcome for a deleted file. The current target of the redirect is a different file, is of an accurate box art, and should not be linked to by a deleted file. — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 05:58, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

P&F

• P&F → Phineas and Ferb  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Seems very vague to me. ★Trekker (talk) 03:49, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

• Comment could be combined into PF (disambiguation) to add the variation "P&F" and list those uses -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 04:53, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Black Hitler

• Black Hitler → Idi Amin  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Term mentioned on many biographies, but not Amin's. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 03:29, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: Just as a note: It's listed, with a source, in Amin's "nicknames" section. Still, the redirect should probably deleted. Applodion (talk) 13:29, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

  CTRL-F failed me! Yes, I still think deletion is warranted. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 14:29, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Christopher Khayman Lee

• Christopher Khayman Lee → Power Rangers in Space  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Lee has acted in multiple Power Rangers productions, including Power Rangers in Space, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, and Power Rangers Wild Force, as well as unrelated works like Kickboxing Academy and Safe Harbor (TV series). I am not sure there's a reasonable best target and am suggesting deletion. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 02:58, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

• Delete: Red links and unlinked text are perfectly acceptable. Why blue link if there is no best target (not even a disambig page)? — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 06:59, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
• Keep - Power Rangers in Space is what he's best known for. What purpose does red linking serve when it already got PROD'd? Since there's not going to be an article on Christopher Khaymee Lee, the show he's best known for is the next best target. This isn't like "apple" redirecting to "orange". This proposal and the reason(s) thus far given come across like deletion for the sake of deletion. How does deleting this improve the project? If you're going to nominate this for deletion, you might as well nominate Selwyn Ward, Roger Velasco, Tracy Lynn Cruz and a bunch of other PR actors/redirects for deletion too.—Mythdon (talk • contribs)
• Delete per CJDOS. And, per Mythdon, the same should be considered for the three pages he noted (Ward, Velasco, Cruz). JPG-GR (talk) 13:54, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Jeff Jorgensen

• Jeff Jorgensen → Jeff Bezos  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete. I came across the redirect from another discussion, and I was surprised to find it existed. It's a very unlikely search term. Considering he only used the surname for four years and it only became clear that it was his surname at birth around ten years ago, well after Bezos was notable and her was never notable under this name.
