May 3

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on May 3, 2020.

*Aqualand el Arenal, Mallorca

Unlikely search term (because of the * and the "Mallorca," shown when it was moved to the version of the title without either of these back in 2006)...on the same day the move took place, Aqualand el Arenal, Mallorca was deleted, yet this one somehow survived all these years since this. Regards, SONIC678 18:09, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

❶

For the sake of consensus, I am nominating this as well: In Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 March 22#🄂, a redirection of Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement characters was decided for that characters as there was no mention on the target. This case is analogous. I suggest a retargeting of this and some others (❷❸❹❺❻❼❽❾❿➀➁➂➃➄➅➆➇➈➉➊➋➌➍➎➏➐➑➒➓) to Dingbat#Dingbats Unicode block, where the symbol is mentioned. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 18:55, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Because it's a scissors emoji. It may not be viewable on your computer, but it's certainly viewable on many computers. —Lowellian (reply) 03:25, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, it could be one searching for information about the symbol, in which case the current target wouldn't help either. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 14:37, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Retarget per nom. Some people may be looking for the symbols rather than the numbers they show. CrazyBoy826 (talk) 01:28, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    The other day, I was trying to figure out what 🥆 was (since it's a little box on my screen), and my best way of finding the answer was to go to 🥆 — it's something related to a rifle. If my computer rendered ❽ as a little box, redirecting ❽ to 8 would helpfully tell me that it's related somehow to 8, but redirecting it to the character set wouldn't be very helpful because I already know that it's some sort of special character. Learning what the character depicts is much more helpful than knowing the set that includes the character, especially since those who care about character sets already probably have better ways of looking them up than simply checking their Wikipedia links. Nyttend backup (talk) 12:45, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    It does state at the target a description of the symbol (e.g. Dingbat negative circled digit one). — J947 [cont] 19:33, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    How do I know what it is? On Chrome, I copied the ❽ character and then ran Ctrl+F for it on the Dingbat page, but instead of showing me the ❽ character, the browser found me all 133 appearances of the numeral 8. If that happened to me, I'd guess that it was somehow related to 8, but since Chrome messed up in deeming it identical to the normal numeral character, I wouldn't be very sure in trusting that the character really was an 8. But if I go to ❽ and end up at the 8 page, I'll know that it's not a mistake. Nyttend backup (talk) 20:22, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Anchors. — J947 [cont] 20:28, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: There's a definite consensus not to delete these, but there's a completely even split on whether they're better at their current target or at the proposed target. Any further input to avoid a default no-consensus would help.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ~ mazca talk 17:07, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

T:CRW

This redirect is of a type that is strongly discouraged (it's in the article namespace and wouldn't work the way template shortcuts work). To be kept, such redirects need a high level of use, and this one appears to have received virtually none: for the entire decade of its existence, it's accumulated a single incoming link. It's also confusing because its target is a different template from {{Crw}}. – Uanfala (talk) 14:54, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Uanfala --DannyS712 (talk) 16:31, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

T:X11

These are pseudonamespace redirects of a type that is strongly discouraged. Such redirects can be kept if they're widely used, but these don't appear to be used at all. A further complicating factor is that their targets are members of a large family (from {{X1}} all through {{X52}}), it's difficult to see why just these two should have such redirects, and it's confusing when the others don't. The first redirect was discussed at this RfD in 2015, with no resulting consensus. – Uanfala (talk) 13:58, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Uanfala --DannyS712 (talk) 16:31, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Landsmalsalfabet

Incorrect and implausible. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 13:45, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This and this and this and this suggest that "landsmålsalfabetets" is a real term, and even that "landsmålsalfabet" may be an alternative version. This is a plausible misspelling of that, and thus a reasonable redirect. Do we have any actual Swedish linguists here who can comment on this? -- The Anome (talk) 16:29, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

T:Closed

These two redirects are of a type that's strongly discouraged (they are in the article namespace, so wouldn't work the way template shortcuts normally work). Such redirects can be kept if there's long history of use, but these are relatively recent creations (of 2016 and 2019), have no incoming links, and their targets are relatively obscure templates. – Uanfala (talk) 13:36, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Antonia maino

Appears to be a WP:hoax. Nominating for deletion per the discussion at here Akhiljaxxn (talk) 12:21, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Venue9, stating again that I never agreed with a word of what you said. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:36, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Please go through what you have typed there, you have admitted that it is not a hoax.Venue9 (talk) 13:44, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I took a look and unless I am missing something Kautilya3 never admitted that. They did come to the realization that it wasn’t Wikipedia that generated the hoax but that is not the same this as admitting that it Wasn’t a hoax. If I am missing something can you please link directly where they (Kautilya3) admitted that it wasn’t a hoax?--69.157.252.96 (talk) 17:31, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
​​​​​​​​Kautilya3 said, "So, at least we know that Wikipedia did not generate this hoax. I am relieved", which means he agrees that the name is not a hoax.Venue9 (talk) 18:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Antonia Màino

Appears to be a WP:hoax. Nominating for deletion per the discussion at here Akhiljaxxn (talk) 12:20, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any reliable sources to support your claims?. Sources published before 2002, before the press conference by Sonia Gandhi's political opponent Jayalalitha and before Wikipedia popularised it?. - Akhiljaxxn (talk) 14:08, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's not my claim. However, it is mentioned in news sources. Just like the claimed birth name of Yogi Adityanath, which is not my claim either. Hemant DabralTalk 14:57, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Venue9, I never agreed with anything you said. Please STOP using my name. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:29, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You at least agreed that it is not a hoax and that name was not created by Wikipedia.Venue9 (talk) 13:34, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edvige Antonia Albina Maino

RISM (identifier)

Delete: unlikely disambiguator in the redirect title: RISM is already an unambiguous redirect. The redirect was apparently created for an (in the mean while failed) experiment. Francis Schonken (talk) 10:29, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

R/ForeverAlone

Not mentioned at target. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 08:21, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

R/Foo is a way to refer to the reddit subreddit Foo, so in this case R/ForeverAlone refers to the ForeverAlone subreddit, which I assume once had a ection but now no longer does. Speedy delete R/ForeverAlone (G7), delete ForeverAlone --DannyS712 (talk) 08:25, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Veluna

This redirect is unhelpful, as Veluna is not mentioned at the target. Readers searching for "Veluna" won't find anything useful by using this redirect. A few other pages mention "Veluna", but none of them provide much information about it, so I don't think retargetting is possible. Not a very active user (talk) 08:18, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Trippolette

This song isn't mentioned anywhere in these redirects' target article (to be fair, it was composed by a member of the Harmonix team who worked on this game, but it doesn't appear to ). It is mentioned on these three lists, but I'm not sure where it should go, although I am leaning kinda more towards the Guitar Hero one, specifically the section "Other songs," or if it should otherwise be deleted... Regards, SONIC678 07:21, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

*Ysgol y Fron

This is a school on the list that isn't notable enough to have its own article (which was explained when this started out as an article consisting of only a single run-on sentence in 2013), which would be a good reason to redirect this here, but the * in the title makes this redirect questionably useful (as explained in some earlier nominations), which may be why it only got a grand total of four pageviews since July 2015. Also, strangely, we don't have Ysgol y Fron. Regards, SONIC678 07:08, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

*Finlay

Leftover from page move, doesn't seem to be part of a stylization, having a leading * character messes with the searchbar. Hog Farm (talk) 01:56, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

T:RPT

A redirect with no incoming links, of a type that is strongly discouraged. Its name doesn't have any connection to its target – it was initially created as a redirect to Template:R from plausible term, which existed as a separate template for less than two hours at one point back in 2014, before getting redirected to the current target, for which it now serves as an obscure alias. – Uanfala (talk) 01:53, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

T:R

Recently created (July 2019), of a type that is strongly discouraged, no incoming links. – Uanfala (talk) 01:41, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

T:VGR

A redirect of a type that has been discouraged for some time; deletion would be best unless there's evidence of use, but I'm not seeing any – it's been around since 2008, and for over this period has accumulated just 11 links, more than half of which are mentions in various RfD discussions (where it has been part of several bundled nominations). Its name clashes with both Template:Vgr (a redirect with two dozen uses) and, less relevantly, WP:VGR (both of which, however, are more recently created). Pinging Bertaut, who's previously said they use this shortcut. – Uanfala (talk) 01:33, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Stayer

Not sure what should be done here. The article Motor-paced racing does mention the term stayer, but doesn't really explain what they are in the context of cycling. I would suggest that the primary term really should be Stayer (horse) but that article isn't very well developed. Otherwise at the very least I think it should be a disambiguation page, but really I'm not sure. A7V2 (talk) 01:23, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
