Thrall-Noldorin

Not included. Hildeoc (talk) 23:15, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Holy shit, something really fucked up happened

Not sure how this is related to the target. No backlinks in 15 years. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 22:25, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Talcum X

This should be deleted. It appears to be an uncommon derogatory nickname for King that is not referenced in the article at all. AllegedlyHuman (talk) 21:21, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ôzaru

This has nothing to do with Dragon Ball. 122.61.73.44 (talk) 06:11, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per Xezbeth. Search results will have to do unless/until we can explain the term in a logical place. I'm not familiar with the franchise, but it sounds like AngusWOOF's suggestion would be like redirecting "lightsaber" to "Luke Skywalker". --BDD (talk) 15:33, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: I'm not a fan of third relists, but the other redirects Xezbeth mentioned ought to be added to this discussion.

Trumparoo

There is currently no mention of this website in the main body of the article. There is one reference that says "Founder of site Trumparoo among dead at Capitol", but I don't think that is enough of a connection to sustain a redirect to this target. -- Tavix (talk) 20:55, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Indigenous American

I think this should be disambiguated, as the term may refer to Native Americans in the United States more specifically and Indigenous peoples of the Americas more broadly Bangalamania (talk) 20:34, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Divinium

Fictional element used in the Call of Duty series but not mentioned at the target, delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 20:14, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Zyz, Italy

Not mentioned at the target or its wikilinked articles on other language projects, delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 20:04, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Rosguill: the source is on page on itwiki. Borteddd (talk) 16:23, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Borteddd, the cited source for that claim ([1]) gives the name as "Ziz" and doesn't appear terribly reliable. I tried searching for both "Zyz" and "Ziz" together with a few terms related to Phoenicians on Google Scholar and couldn't find any relevant results. signed, Rosguill talk 17:43, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Drug ring

Not mentioned at target. Retargeting to Drug cartel might be a bit more helpful. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 19:28, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Office under the United States

Like the one I just nominated, not mentioned in article, unlikely alternate name. Onel5969 TT me 17:14, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This is in fact mentioned in the lead, quoting a Justice Department opinion: "All offices under the United States and all officers of the United States are created and filled according to the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution." The quote is a legally significant memo, so is correctly included in the article. 50.248.234.77 (talk) 18:03, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Officer under the United States

Not mentioned in target, unlikely alternate name Onel5969 TT me 17:13, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. A quick web search shows a diversity of different uses for this terminology relating to the more legally significant term "officer of the United States". Even though this phrasing doesn't have a fixed meaning in itself, it's still useful as a search term for the article that discusses the correct terminology. 50.248.234.77 (talk) 18:00, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Llanfairpwllgwyngllgogerychwyrndrobwllynyngofod

 Eeeehhhhhhh This seems to be a misspelling of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllandysiliogogogoch, and should redirect there if kept, but I don't think it's any more likely than any random syllables appended to "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwll", and this one even lacks a y in "pwllgwyngyll". 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 16:49, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. although the band did release a record called Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, this spelling does not appear in the article, and there is no reason to assume that it it a probable missspelling of the band's record title. IdreamofJeanie (talk) 16:53, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: The name given in the band's article was incorrect. The song's title is "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyndrobwllantysiliogogogochynygofod" (though it's given by the BBC source as "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychyndrobwllantysiliogogogochynygofod"). This redirect is still a typo of both, though. --Paul_012 (talk) 17:08, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. While the band's song is fully known as "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyndrobwllantysiliogogogochynygofod", "Llanfairpwllgwyngllgogerychwyrndrobwllynyngofod" is not a possible or likely search term. Seventyfiveyears (talk) 19:41, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as implausible misspelling. ―NK1406 talkcontribs 22:27, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sususs Amongus

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 delete per WP:CSD#G3. Thryduulf (talk) 17:02, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not an alternate name for the subject of the target article, just a meme relating to the game Among Us that will be forgotten in a year or less. This adds nothing to the encyclopedia, so it should be deleted. 50.248.234.77 (talk) 16:06, 20 February 2021 (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.

Public organization

I created this redirect to State agencies of Thailand in 2015, as it is a specific legal term in Thailand, but upon reconsideration it's not specific enough in general usage. Proper uses are now linked to Public organization (Thailand), leaving incorrect incoming links. I'm not sure though what would be a better target. Organization? Public sector? Or should it just be deleted? Paul_012 (talk) 15:56, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Brutality-killing

Unlikely search term due to the unnecessary hyphenation and broken English sentence structure. This redirect doesn not seem to be synonymous with it's target to me, if I were to search for this I'd expect to end up at something like Killing. A google search turns up a load of results related to Police brutality, but I don't think that's an appropriate target either. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 15:54, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilabs

This might be referring to WMF Labs, but seems to have additional meanings, including a Wikimedia project proposal and an IT solutions provider. Either retarget to Wikipedia:Wikimedia Cloud Services, where the other WMF Labs redirects point at, or delete as ambiguous. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 14:49, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ciley Myrus

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

This redirect is a spoonerism, not a likely or plausible search term. I propose deletion under deletion criteria 3 and criteria 8 of Wikipedia:Redirect#Reasons for deleting unless justification can be provided. Seventyfiveyears (talk) 14:35, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia Toolserver

This was retargeted to the mainspace article after Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 April 27#Toolserver, but is not currently mentioned at the target. I suggest retargeting it back to Wikipedia:Toolserver, similarly to WMF Labs pointing at Wikipedia:Wikimedia Cloud Services (see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 September 10#WMF Labs). 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 14:29, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Astropath

Group of psychic communicators from the Warhammer 40,000 universe that aren't discussed at the target article. The article content in the page history ended up in Psyker, which was redirected in 2019 following an AfD nomination. They have a name drop in Rogue Trader (role-playing game)#Career paths but I don't think there's enough there to justify a redirect 86.23.109.101 (talk) 11:08, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Uriel Ventris

A Space Marine from the warhammer 40,000 universe that isn't mentioned anywhere in the encyclopaedia. There was an article here for about 20 days in 2010. If this is kept it might be better targeting Space Marine (Warhammer 40,000), but I don't see the value in pointing this to an article where this character is not mentioned. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 10:45, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Faction of ship navigators from the warhammer 40,000 universe not mentioned in the target article or anywhere else in wikipedia. There was an article at Navis Nobilite for about 9 months in 2008 which was redirected due to having no third party sources and insufficent notability for a stand alone article 86.23.109.101 (talk) 10:35, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Void shields

Non-notable fictional technology from the warhammer 40,000 universe not mentioned at the target article or anywhere else with relaton to 40K. The article content in the page history ended up in Equipment of the Imperium in Warhammer 40,000 which was deleted in 2011 following an AfD nomination. There are a few articles on force fields in fiction that might be suitable targets (e.g. Force field (fiction)) but they're not discussed in there by this name either 86.23.109.101 (talk) 10:09, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

State farm

I propose changing the primary topic for state farm to State Farm. Having it redirect to Sovkhoz just seems bizarre to me. As a criteria, Sovkhoz received 2,255 pageviews (30 days) and the insurance company received 16,580 pageviews (30 days). I propose changing the redirect to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Farm AntoineHound (talk) 04:03, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

S. Taylor (cricketer)

Not a useful XNR; a reader does not learn anything about the person from the list at the category. There is a mention at List of English cricketers (1841–1850)#T, so I suggest retargeting there. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 07:26, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

List of former United States presidents who ran for office after leaving the presidency

Similar to a recent RfD discussion, the section targeted by this redirect was removed and the content is no longer found in the article. The information indicated by this redirect is currently divided between List of presidents of the United States by other offices held and Elections lost by presidents of the United States, and both articles involve cases both before and after service as president. I recommend deletion unless the originally targeted section is restored or made to exist elsewhere. Mdewman6 (talk) 01:45, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Restore article to this revision. Either that or add the information to some other article. Drdpw redirected the article in 2016 with the edit summary Redirecting page to a section of the List of Presidents of the United States article that contains this information; care was taken to ensure that no information was lost during the process. What was left of the information was removed by Ivar the Boneful, pointing in his edit summary to an article that as far as I can tell has never existed.

Annam Tower

While Annam was an old name of Vietnam, there is no such thing as Annam Tower. This should be deleted. Greenknight dv (talk) 04:30, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Great point! Marseille colonial exhibition (1906) could be good target too if this article is created. Greenknight dv (talk) 04:55, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think it would be fine if there is any source calls Báo Thiên Tower "Annam Tower" or "Tháp An Nam". Otherwise, we couldn't be sure. Greenknight dv (talk) 04:55, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete As far as I can tell, the tower depicted at File:Expo coloniale 1906.jpg is not actually called "Annam Tower". The French description says "la tour de l'Annam" – it isn't capitalized, implying it's just a generic Annam tower, not a specific tower called "Annam Tower". References to an "Annam Tower" are probably a result of WP:CITOGENESIS; all mentions of the tower that I've found on Google come from the Wikipedia redirect or from the description of the aforementioned image on Commons, meaning that no one will come to Wikipedia looking for an article on "Annam Tower". The redirect should be deleted, even if an article on the Marseille colonial exhibition is created. --Un assiolo (talk) 19:53, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

J. Barker

Not a useful XNR; a reader does not learn anything about the person from the list at the category. Does not seem to have a mention on Wikipedia. Delete to encourage article creation, unless an appropriate target can be found. Per the backlinks, this also seems to be ambiguous with a painter. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 08:30, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget or separately disambiguate. It would be particularly useful to have a separate disambiguation page at this title if there are multiple people primarily known as "J. Barker", or if there are people whose given name would abbreviate to "J. Barker" but who go by a middle name or otherwise might not show up at Barker (surname) as starting with a J.
