*'''Delete all'''. We can all agree, I expect, that these are wrong: there's no good reason to mix Cyrillic and Latin in these particular strings, and I can't envision a situation in which one should mix Cyrillic and Latin, aside from stylistic stuff that's as silly as [[heavy metal umlaut]]s. (If you speak Russian and you're searching the English Wikipedia, will you really expect us to retain a Russian initialism? If you search here in Russian, why would you use anything but the full name?) And the only good reason to keep something that's outright wrong is if it's plausible, e.g. we keep [[Geroge Bush]] because it's a common typo. How could someone possibly combine Cyrillic and Latin by accident in this manner? Keyboards come with one script or another, but they don't come with both; the only way you can type С.M.S.A.A. with a Latin keyboard is copy/pasting the С from somewhere or typing an extended-character code, and you'll have to go through at least times that effort to type M S A on a Cyrillic keyboard.

**{{u|Nyttend}}, I'm envisioning a scenario where someone copy&pastes the term from a discussion at the ''Velikiy Drakon'' website in order to read Wikipedia's article. It's very easy to imagine it happening. For example, make a search for the mixed term "ВD" here: http://www.greatdragon.ru/news/2967-who-is-vy-velikiy-drakon-istoriya-zhurnala.html#comment . Someone copy-and-pasting the term on Wikipedia would be left with the incorrect impression that Wikipedia did not cover the topic. And if you don't think that the redirect is never used just take a look at [https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&start=2018-11-01&end=2019-06-01&pages=%D0%92D the pageviews analysis].

Revision as of 02:17, 16 July 2019

July 15

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on July 15, 2019.

La Vita della Regina Elizabetta

Not referenced in article. WP:FORRED and more. — the Man in Question (in question) 22:13, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dyanology

Pretty significant misspelling of what is only a redirect anyway (Dylanology). Could just as easily (more easily, really) be a misspelling of Dianology. — the Man in Question (in question) 22:12, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sachimo

Dubious misspelling of Satchmo ("satchel-mouth"), a nickname for Louis Armstrong. Too similar to Sachima and Sachem (which has forms ending in -o) to be useful. — the Man in Question (in question) 22:09, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Will Smith., Ltd.

Stray period. Will Smith, Ltd. does not exist as a redirect, and I have not found evidence to suggest this is even a thing. But regardless, due to punctuation this is not an appropriate redirect. — the Man in Question (in question) 22:08, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Excecution of Marie Antoinette

Misspelling of Execution of Marie Antoinette, which itself is only a redirect to Marie Antoinette. — the Man in Question (in question) 22:07, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Britney Spears' forthcoming album

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball etc. The redirect is protected, and as a consequence I cannot tag it with the RfD template. — the Man in Question (in question) 22:04, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lance Armstrong 2

Moved to Lance Armstrong/proposal, where history is preserved. — the Man in Question (in question) 22:03, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

T Ros

Not a plausible search term for the target. — the Man in Question (in question) 22:00, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nick Copper

Not mentioned in article (yes, I get the relationship to his name's meaning). Also, too similar to Nick Chopper and Nick Cooper. — the Man in Question (in question) 21:59, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Copernic us' nationality

Not a useful redirect. Spacing error, and even without it not the material of redirects. — the Man in Question (in question) 21:58, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Billou

Perhaps I am missing something with this one. Seems completely inappropriate for its target. Billou not used anywhere else on Wikipedia, so delete. — the Man in Question (in question) 21:57, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Billg

Too unspecific, not meaningful. Even Bill G. would be an inappropriate redirect (see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 July 14 § Arnold S.). — the Man in Question (in question) 21:56, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Crash Land

Listed on the artist's section, but its listing remains unsourced, as are multiple other artists listed on this page. Jalen D. Folf (talk) 16:54, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, -- Tavix (talk) 21:36, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Legend of Mary Magdalene

Same sort of thing as below. Has history, but was redirected, not merged. — the Man in Question (in question) 21:35, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Life of Edgar Allan Poe

Not within the scope of redirects. Redundant, much like Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 July 13 § About thomas edison. — the Man in Question (in question) 21:34, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Biography of thomas edison

Added by LaundryPizza03 (talk · contribs)

Unhelpful redirect. Not the stuff of redirect titles. Biography of thomas edison has history, but was not merged, merely redirected. — the Man in Question (in question) 21:29, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Johnny Cash – Biography

Unhelpful redirects. Has history, but was simply redirected, not merged. — the Man in Question (in question) 21:27, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Abraham Lincoln I

I believe Abraham Lincoln had a grandson named Abraham Lincoln who died as a child, which inspired this creative redirect. No one calls Abraham Lincoln "the first" (I did not find a single instance in Google Books), and no one's going to search Abraham Lincoln I if they're trying to simply find Abraham Lincoln. — the Man in Question (in question) 21:18, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Story of Bach

Not an appropriate redirect title. WP:PANDORA. — the Man in Question (in question) 21:15, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Einstien, Albert

Misspellings in {{R from sort name}}. Not in accord with the purpose of sort names, since their purpose is for print and these are unprintworthy. — the Man in Question (in question) 21:13, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jordan,Michael

Errors in {{R from sort name}}. Not in accord with the purpose of sort names, since their purpose is for print and these are unprintworthy. See Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 July 9#Rodham,Hillary. — the Man in Question (in question) 21:12, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep all except Michael Jordan, as the missing space after the comma is implausible. These are harmless and absolutely unambiguous; there's no benefit to deletion; this is definitely not a sort error. Plus, what kind of redirect that's meant for print is unprintworthy? Trump Donald had 82 hits in the last few months, including ten in one day; that's 82 people whose requests would have been complicated by this deletion. It's distinctly not implausible that someone would simply leave off a comma. Nyttend (talk) 21:54, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

T'Rails

Not mentioned in the target, an internet search for the redirect term does not return any results related to the current target. signed, Rosguill talk 18:30, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Historic Commercial Vehicle Association

Not mentioned in target. Searching online, there appear to be a few organizations in Australia that could all be conceivably referred to by this name, but there's no clear direct connection to the museum. signed, Rosguill talk 18:28, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fleetline (periodical)

The redirect is listed as a citation, but is not otherwise mentioned in the target. signed, Rosguill talk 18:26, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nitro (game show)

Not mentioned at the target. signed, Rosguill talk 18:23, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sonic2014

The target is an episodes list for a show that ran from 2014 to 2017, making the redirect inappropriate. I'd suggest deletion, but if kept Sonic Boom (TV series) is a better target. signed, Rosguill talk 18:20, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Emile Fourcade

This person is no longer mentioned on the target page, nor anywhere else on Wikipedia: he just slipped out of the top 100 List of French supercentenarians. Consequently, redirects should be removed. (Well, actually, Fourcade is still mentioned on the page of Maurice Floquet, but that statement is uncited.) — JFG talk 18:07, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Star fox wii

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

Star Fox Zero is technically not a Wii game. And if we're extrapolating that much, the Gamecube games can also be played on Wii. Too confusing to be necessary. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 19:33, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, BDD (talk) 18:02, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dinosaur Planet (Game)

Delete - strange mal-formatted disambiguation. (Game) is not used as a disambiguation for video games. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 19:11, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as an {{R with history}} (the edit history suggests a merge occured though I don't see much evidence of that at Star Fox Adventures). Even without the history, it got nearly 500 hits last year and doesn't appear to be ambiguous with anything else. PC78 (talk) 21:28, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    A majority of the hits came on a single day, suggesting it's not very popular but may have been linked from somewhere. That doesn't prove much about it. As for the history, there wasn't much on it originally besides an unsourced stub. More information is currently in the article than was on the original page.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:27, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    It got 26 hits in one day, but that's a small fraction of the total for last year. Nearly 2000 hits in the last four years so it seems pretty consistant. PC78 (talk) 22:33, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
PC78, that's true, perhaps redirecting to the disambiguation would be better, but it shouldn't stay at (Game). AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:55, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Keep, or rename without leaving a redirect?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, BDD (talk) 18:00, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Warpstone (Star Fox)

Delete - fancruft that isn't mentioned in the article. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 19:09, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, BDD (talk) 17:55, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hans Droysen

Delete, since they are not the same person, and the article on Johann's mention of Hans is currently too little. The redirect is thus should be deleted like Johann Gustav Ferdinand Droysen. RekishiEJ (talk) 16:43, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorana

We have articles at Sorana (Pescia), Sorana bean and Sorana Gurian. I think we need a dab instead of a redirect. valereee (talk) 14:14, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ridiculously Photogenic Guy

The subsection it was to redirect to has been removed so this redirects to a page that does not mention the title. Furthermore, it seems that this was a temporary internet phenomena wouldn't be sufficient as an article on its own because of WP:NTEMP. snood1205(Say Hi! (talk)) 13:49, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Radiohead scotch mist

Delete. There's no indication why this redirect targets In Rainbows, although there is a mention of a (non-notable?) webcast at Nude (song)#Music video Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:00, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: For the record, Scotch Mist was a webcast Radiohead recorded to promote the album In Rainbows. Hence the redirect.
I have no opinion on whether this should be deleted - I don't really know the rules of redirects - but the nom made me realise that the article really ought to cover Scotch Mist in more detail, so I've added it with a reliable source. It's definitely notable - it was covered by the Observer and Rolling Stone and probably others. Hopefully the reason for the redirect should be clearer now, at least. Popcornduff (talk) 14:08, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

File:Minnale dvd.jpg

Not a poster. I think G7 also applies here. Kailash29792 (talk) 05:26, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per the same rationale I posted at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 November 15#File:Kulavadhu-film-poster.jpg ... minus the WP:TROUT-ing: "...The redirect is not causing any harm, considering that name requirements for redirects in the “File:” namespace do not necessary have to be useful search terms, especially if the redirect is a {{R from move}}. In addition, the redirect does not shadow the title of a page on Wikimedia Commons, meaning that it’s not causing any technical issues that need to be resolved by deleting the redirect per {{Db-redircom}}." In addition, this file does not qualify for WP:G7 since the target's creator, Bharathprime, has not edited in almost a decade, meaning they were neither the one who requested the file be moved/renamed (which happened here; the nominator moved/renamed the page), nor tagged anything with {{Db-g7}}.

В. В. Kurasov

More redirects with inappropriately used Cyrillic letters. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 05:23, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • LaundryPizza03, can you clarify what you mean by "inappropriately used"? Is there a rule that mixtures of Cyrillic and Roman are always inappropriate? -Thibbs (talk) 10:25, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    I can elaborate:
    • Аɪ (IPA): Cyrillic characters are not used in IPA. It should be a Latin lowercase ⟨a⟩.
    • М577: M113 was developed by the United States military and is not particularly associated with any language using the Cyrillic alphabet.
    • The other redirects (В. В. Kurasov, ВD, СGA, С.M.S.A.A., МHC Spartak) mix Latin and Cyrillic letters in a manner that make them implausible search terms.
    • There is extensive precedent to delete implausible mixed-script redirects. See, for example, Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2010_January_6#Аugust_2. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:47, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • LaundryPizza03 and the Man in Question - I was invited here to comment on one specific usage, namely "ВD", so I restrict my comments to that term.
      I agree with you that the term "ВD" "mix[es] Latin and Cyrillic letters", but I don't agree that it does so "in a manner that make[s it an] implausible search term[]". Both "ВД" and "ВD" are used as initialisms (acronyms) for the Russian magazine Velikiy Drakon. In Russian the title is "Великий Dракон". You can see the mixed Cyrillic and Latin term "ВD" used several places in the Russian article. It also appears in several of the magazine's pages as a shorthand for the magazine. Considering that the Russian readers who use Wikipedia are plausibly likely to use the same initialism that the magazine itself used and that Russian Wikipedia in fact uses the mixed Cyrilic-Latin term on the ru.wiki article, wouldn't it make sense to use the common term as a redirect in this case? -Thibbs (talk) 21:18, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all. As LaundryPizza said, the а in аɪ (IPA) is in Cyrillic. — the Man in Question (in question) 20:49, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all. We can all agree, I expect, that these are wrong: there's no good reason to mix Cyrillic and Latin in these particular strings, and I can't envision a situation in which one should mix Cyrillic and Latin, aside from stylistic stuff that's as silly as heavy metal umlauts. (If you speak Russian and you're searching the English Wikipedia, will you really expect us to retain a Russian initialism? If you search here in Russian, why would you use anything but the full name?) And the only good reason to keep something that's outright wrong is if it's plausible, e.g. we keep Geroge Bush because it's a common typo. How could someone possibly combine Cyrillic and Latin by accident in this manner? Keyboards come with one script or another, but they don't come with both; the only way you can type С.M.S.A.A. with a Latin keyboard is copy/pasting the С from somewhere or typing an extended-character code, and you'll have to go through at least times that effort to type M S A on a Cyrillic keyboard. Nyttend (talk) 22:01, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep "ВD" - The term is used by the magazine Velikiy Drakon (i.e. the target of the redirect) and is used by Russian readers. Despite arguments above that it is difficult (for some) to create a two-letter mixed-character expression, copy&paste is a commonly-used tool online on all keyboards and the redirect is in fact used on Wikipedia as demonstrated by the pageviews analysis. The term is used numerous times in the ru.wikipedia version of the article which suggests that readers are familiar with the term and quite plausibly use it. -Thibbs (talk) 23:17, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Is there any difference between a mixed Cyrillic-Latin expression like "Toys Я Us" and the mixed Cyrillic-Latin expression "ВD"? I worry that familiarity with a well-known term like "Toys Я Us" is the sole difference between retaining redirects like that "Toys Я Us" and removing unfamiliar terms like "ВD" which is otherwise quite comparable. And I'll put a name to the concern: Systemic bias. -Thibbs (talk) 00:52, 16 July 2019 (UTC) (Shifted and heavily redacted. -Thibbs (talk) 02:17, 16 July 2019 (UTC))[reply]
      • Ah, the ethnic bias card. I'm not spending time trying to present a reasoned argument against comments on contributors. Be aware that accusations of personal misbehavior without evidence are considered personal attacks, and anything more of this sort will result in a block request.

Мarsupipterinae

Possible neologism for an incertae sedis family of this genus. The first letter is also Cyrillic. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 05:13, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What is this thing called thinking

Implausibly different than the correct title. As a Google Books search shows, What Is This Thing Called Thinking? is not an alternate version of the correct title. — the Man in Question (in question) 04:10, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese and Japanese names of the United States

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

All of the listed titles are indeed ways of writing the name of the United States using Chinese characters. The longstanding precedent at RfD is that such foreign names aren't wanted unless the language has an affinity for the United States, as defined at WP:FORRED. As there have been literally dozens of such deletion discussions in the past, just for this single target, I will spare the reader from linking them all, but in addition to the old discussion for some of these forms you can see Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2011_March_22#美,Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2014_September_4#Mihapjungguk, and Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2009 December 21#Rice Country which all concluded that affinity doesn't exist. Therefore, these should all be deleted. 50.248.234.77 (talk) 00:00, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Solar (Star Fox series)

P:POK

Unused (and kind of confusing) WP:PNS. Alternatives include: Portal:PKMN, P:POKEMON, P:POKE (which really should be P:PKMN, but I digress), and Portal:Pokemon. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 17:52, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Why is it confusing? Is it ambiguous with anything else? Not sure I see a problem. PC78 (talk) 21:11, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question Do we have any standards on how properly to format P:-to-portal redirects? Unless we do, I see no reason to delete this, because it works and (as PC78 notes) it doesn't look confusing. Nyttend (talk) 23:57, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Generally, because these are technically considered cross-namespace redirects, my personal philosophy is that we should have only one or two unless there is evidence towards their active use as to be conservative about it.
    For the other point, I don't think the phrase POK could mean much else, but it wasn't exactly clear before I clicked it. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 01:14, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Per WP:PNS, "P:" is a valid shortcut for the Portal namespace, and per WP:RFD#DELETE these are an exception to the "cross-namespace redirect" rule. I don't see any technical issues with this. PC78 (talk) 14:59, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per my above comments. This is an unambiguous and unproblematic shortcut which has existed since 2006. PC78 (talk) 15:01, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lylat system

Delete - unnecessary, when Lylat isn't even a redirect. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:11, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Lylat wouldn't need to be a redirect because it doesn't mean anything. Lylat system is pretty specific as to be the thing from Star Fox (as mentioned in the article). –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 01:18, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural enrichment

Delete, with retargeting being even better if someone can think of a good target; I can't.

"Cultural enrichment" sounds like multiculturalism and so on, a human culture being enriched by concepts from another human culture. An enrichment culture, however, is the use of certain growth media to favor the growth of a particular microorganism over others. One name is basically the other turned around, but one talks about human culture and the other's applicable to bacteria. Much better to delete this so someone realises that it needs some work, and even better to retarget this to a good place if that good place already exists. Note that I discovered this in a WP:RDH discussion; see [3]. Nyttend (talk) 10:13, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New Brunswick Road to Resources

No obvious justification for this at the target. signed, Rosguill talk 18:29, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What is now Route 180 between Bathurst and Saint-Quentin used to be called the "Road to Resources" as it was a main logging road.[1] Today, Route 180 it it still colloquially known as such.[2] YourAviationPro (talk) 19:33, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
