Delete Very unlikely natural search term given its length. UnitedStatesian (talk) 22:39, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Egg Gang

No mention of "Egg Gang" in article it redirects to, which is at AfD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/@world record egg). Redirect was originally a dup which was then deleted under A10. CoolSkittle (talk) 21:54, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Delete Yes, that is how you write out 10^60, a British decillion, But no, no one is going to type that many zeros and commas into any search box, anywhere. UnitedStatesian (talk) 20:16, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Page Curation.

Delete Apparently originally created in error; full stop makes this an unlikely search term. UnitedStatesian (talk) 19:36, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:2019 in basketball

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 deleted per WP:G6: "deleting pages unambiguously created in error or in the incorrect namespace." -- Tavix (talk) 19:07, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cross-namespace redirect that appears to have been created due to an erroneous move from draftspace. Smartyllama (talk) 18:26, 15 January 2019 (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.

Wikipedia:Votes for Keeping

This redirect serves no purpose whatsoever and redirecting it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion does not make it any useful. Pkbwcgs (talk) 22:47, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I closed the discussion for "Wikipedia:Votes for keep" referred to above as delete.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, BDD (talk) 17:12, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Bugs & Daffy Show

Not mentioned in the target article. However, The Bugs & Daffy Show is a {{R with history}}; per the history, these redirects seem to not be about the subject at Bugs 'n' Daffy. Steel1943 (talk) 21:04, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, BDD (talk) 16:55, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ladyboy

Ladyboy sometimes means an offensive term of Shemale. Sharouser (talk) 15:14, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, there is another synonym. See Lady Boy (song). Sharouser (talk) 15:20, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Icon(comics)

Delete per WP:RDAB: malformed (no space). UnitedStatesian (talk) 13:33, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Voltron: Defender of the Universe

Currently Voltron: Defender of the Universe redirects to Voltron. The Voltron article specifically talks about Voltron as a media franchise and the multiple versions while the Voltron (1984 TV series) specially talks about the 1984 cartoon version Voltron: Defender of the Universe is the actual name of the first season of the 1984 version that is the reason why I believe that Voltron: Defender of the Universe should be redirected to Voltron (1984 TV series). }} Dwanyewest (talk) 13:42, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Vehicle Voltron

Currently Vehicle Voltron redirects to Voltron. The Voltron article specifically talks about Voltron as a media franchise and the multiple versions while the Voltron (1984 TV series) specially talks about the 1984 cartoon version and the second season of the 1984 version was referred to as Vehicle Voltron that is the reason why I believe that Vehicle voltron should be redirected to Voltron (1984 TV series). Dwanyewest (talk) 13:42, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Go-Lion

There is no reason Go-Lion should redirect toVoltron when Go Lion redirects to Beast King GoLion its a minor difference in spelling. Go-Lion should redirect to Beast King GoLion Dwanyewest (talk) 13:27, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Equation of State (Cosmology)

Delete per WP:RDAB: capitalized disambiguator. UnitedStatesian (talk) 13:06, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: misinterpretation of the guidelines. The guideline only applies to capitalisation errors in the term disambiguation within parentheses, not to any disambiguator word: "the capitalization and spelling errors portion only applies if (x) is an error variation of "disambiguation"". Lithopsian (talk) 14:17, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as a WP:COSTLY redirect due to the use of capitalization in the redirect's disambiguator for a non-proper noun. Steel1943 (talk) 15:53, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep with over 700 hits last year this is an unquestionably useful redirect which is WP:CHEAP. The costly argument is erroneous: the maintenance required is zero, and it's no more or less likely to be vandalised than any other redirect so the actual cost to keeping the redirect is trivial at worst and far, far outweighed by its proven utility. . Thryduulf (talk) 01:11, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:CVG character

Unused redirect and not something a reader would probably write as it isn't very clear what the "c" in "cvg" stands for. Gonnym (talk) 11:57, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Castlevania character

Unused redirect and not following the convention of prefixing by "infobox". Gonnym (talk) 11:55, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Sdesc

This is a template redirect, a shortcut intended to save typing during the large-scale project of adding short descriptions to ultimately all articles in Wikipedia. However, Gonnym appears not to like this shortcut and has removed the links to it from the project pages Short description and WikiProject Short descriptions. As a shortcut is of little value if no-one knows about it, should this template shortcut be kept (and the links reinstated), or deleted? : Bhunacat10 (talk), 10:59, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support deletion Seeing a trend the past few years of templates moving from short, unreadable titles, to clear full word/sentence titles, which I personally agree with, I see no value in having a template, which is used only once per page, be cryptic. If this were a template which was used a lot on the page, I could see some value in the arguments for it saving time, but since it is used only once, better for it to stay clear and let editors know what it is, without them needing to click the redirect. --Gonnym (talk) 11:10, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support deletion {{short description}} is clearer in the wikitext; only benefit would be to save typing but one should be using User:Galobtter/Shortdesc helper anyhow :) Galobtter (pingó mió) 11:27, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support deletion per Galobtter. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 19:22, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please delete There is enough confusion about the strange squiggles at the top of many articles without adding another layer of obfuscation. A good example of useful obscurity is {{dda}} which is a redirect to {{death date and age}}; the shortcut is useful in tables listing dozens of people along with birth/death dates. However, {{death date and age}} should be used when it appears only once in an infobox. Johnuniq (talk) 21:51, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

because FAMAS first use in 1978, so they may be called MAS-78, just like MAS-49Scout MLG (talk) 10:20, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nokmim

Nokmim is the Hebrew word for "Avengers", it was the name of several Jewish partisan groups in Eastern Europe during the Holocaust, none of which were directly related to the later Nakam group that tried to get revenge. Delete per WP:REDLINK. Catrìona (talk) 19:00, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the interwikis, the Hebrew wiki link is for HaNokmim, "organized the final stages of World War II and thereafter" -- which would appear to be the relevant concept for this redirect. If User:Catrìona is correct that Nakam should be identified as a different concept, then a new item for it should be created on Wikidata, and the various current sitelinks be assigned to one or the other appropriately. It might be worth starting a new stub here (perhaps based on a translation of the he-wiki article), that these present redirects could be updated to point to. The subject does appear significant. Jheald (talk) 18:15, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Jheald: The hewiki article on "HaNokmim" actually discusses two separate groups, Nakam and Tilhas Tizig Gesheften, both of which already have enwiki articles. A dab page is a possible solution, but the phrase "(Jewish) Avengers" is probably too vague for a separate dab page from Avenger, considering that across history there are many Jews who have sought revenge for various offenses. And I don't think it would make sense to redirect "Jewish Avengers" or a Hebrew word for Avenger to that dab page, per Wikipedia:Redirects from foreign languages. Catrìona (talk) 18:22, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Catrìona: So, probably makes sense to create a stub-dab at Nokmim (or at one of the terms being discussed), that would pick up incoming interwiki clicks and appropriately dab them. No opinion as to whether it would make sense to include a link from Avenger to that new page, but you may be right that it might be too niche a meaning. Jheald (talk) 18:35, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure it makes sense to keep Nokmim as stub or dab just for interwiki purposes: the Czech, German, Romanian and Spanish interwiki articles are all about Nakam itself. Besides, as stated above, Nokmim was the name of several Jewish partisan brigades during the Holocaust itself. Catrìona (talk) 18:55, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or disambiguate "Nokmim" and "Nokim"; disambiguate "Jewish avenger" or hatnote to Goel. The Modern Hebrew name for this group he:הנוקמים transliterates to haNokmim (pl.), i.e. Nokmim (pl.) and Nok(i)m (sg.). If we don't have information about the other Nokmim on the English Wikipedia, then Nakam stands as the primary topic. If we do, a disambiguation page would be appropriate. As for "Jewish avenger", this can also refer to Goel (i.e. "avenger of blood") so disambiguation would be appropriate, whether by a standalone disambiguation page or by a hatnote.

Wikipedia:Votes for sanction

This isn't really a useful redirect as there hasn't been ever been voting for sanction in the first place when I look at the history of this redirect. There were only 5 pageviews over the past year which suggests that this redirect isn't really useful. Pkbwcgs (talk) 10:16, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It should be changed regardless, but I don't know if it was bombed by the IJAAS or IJNAS. It certainly wasn't bombed by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, which is where this currently redirects to. - BilCat (talk) 11:01, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
