September 30

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on September 30, 2018.

Vulgar language

The redirect should point to the Profanity article, per WP:Primary topic and WP:Principle of least astonishment. "Vulgar language" commonly refers to profanity. Readers are not expecting to be taken to the Vernacular article when clicking on or typing in "vulgar language." Rcsprinter123 created the redirect in 2012. The redirect continued to point to the Profanity article until this IP showed up and changed it in 2017. There has recently been edit warring at the redirect page. I've brought the matter here for discussion and so that the edit warring stops. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 23:25, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As another option, the redirect could point to Vulgarity. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 23:27, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thryduulf, yes, I know. It was a mistake. Thanks for fixing it. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 23:35, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Towering Above The Rest

Non-notable rarities bootleg, not mentioned on target page. Nowak Kowalski (talk) 18:53, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Radiohead at ease

Implausible search term. Seems to be a non-notable fansite. Nowak Kowalski (talk) 18:52, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Minecraft 2

Misleading and useless redirect, there is no mention about "Minecraft 2" in the target page. 46.132.187.197 (talk) 14:12, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Spring Workshop

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 keep per WP:RDRAFT. (non-admin closure) Nowak Kowalski (talk) 19:03, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to mainspace. This is a cleanup. 1233Talk 06:35, 30 September 2018 (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.

Anton Church

There is no character in Arrow called "Anton Church". It was Tobias Church. Kailash29792 (talk) 05:55, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment There are plenty of reliable sources that state this was the working name for the main antagonist in season 5, e.g. [1],[2] so it might be worthy of a sentence in entry for whatever name ended up being used (possibly Adrian Chase, but I'm not sure). If that was added then this redirect would be best kept and refined to that section. However, adding to the complication is that there is a filmmaker called Anton Church - at first glance they don't seem notable, but I haven't looked in detail. All the entries the search engine finds are unrelated to either - being about churches dedicated to a Saint Anton (the same person as Saint Anthony?). Thryduulf (talk) 12:42, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Emulators

A while back, the list of video game emulators was a bit of a link farm/software directory, including lots of non-notable titles. Some time ago, those were removed, but we still have all of the redirects from those titles which are no longer mentioned on the page. First time with a bundled RfD. Tagging/notifying as soon as I save this — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:13, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Update: All pages tagged, creators notified. Is there really no way to semi-automate a bulk nomination? That took a whole lot longer than just doing a bunch of individuals would have... — Rhododendrites talk \\ 02:03, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Valoem and 28bytes: I'm not sure I understand. @Valoem if you think these emulators that have been deleted/redirected or which we otherwise don't have any information about at all are notable, you are making a great case for deletion underRFD#DELETE #10. @28bytes We have redirects from the names of specific software applications to a list article that makes no mention of those specific applications. Presumably a search for any specific website should then go to lists of websites, then, regardless of whether it's covered anywhere on Wikipedia? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 16:22, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Targeting an emulator without its own standalone article to a list of emulators is a whole different kettle of fish from having redirects for every conceivable website. I'm not seeing anything in RFD#DELETE that would apply to these emulator redirects, and quite a few things in RFD#KEEP that would argue against deleting them (#1, 4, 5 and 7 in particular.) 28bytes (talk) 22:56, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
