March 31

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on March 31, 2021.

Glizzy

Redirect to hot dog. Glizzy is a regional dialectical synonym of hot dog, and people searching for it would not be expecting the rapper. AllegedlyHuman (talk) 18:48, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

it’s not currently mentioned at all at the proposed target so is there any evidence that people typing Glizzy would be more likely looking up hot dogs?--67.70.101.238 (talk) 19:49, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I also noticed that at one point Glizzy was a dab page where it was also said to be a term for a Glock and that article doesn’t mention the term either. Basically, we need more evidence.--67.70.101.238 (talk) 19:54, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A (internet meme)

No mention of memes at the target, delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 17:29, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: One of Hololive's talents, Gawr Gura, has a catchphrase "a" that became a meme. I personally don't it's a likely search target especially when the Hololive article does not mention the meme at all. _dk (talk) 18:47, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Current Fractions

While this is the title of a section at the target, it's a generic phrase that does not necessarily refer to Kerala Congress. Delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 17:23, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Arnold Hall (Hartwick College)

Not mentioned at the target, delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 16:48, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fine Arts Theatre

Not mentioned at the target, could conceivably refer to many different theatres. Delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 16:46, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Paolino Recreation Center

Not mentioned at the target or anywhere else on Wikipedia, delete unless a duly sourced mention can be added. signed, Rosguill talk 16:45, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OpenStore

Not mentioned at the target, delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 16:42, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kinnies

Not mentioned at the target. An internet search suggests that this term is primarily used to denote affinity for fictional characters in fandom communities. Delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 16:25, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Free Willie (Due South)

Not mentioned in the target article. I dunno what the disambiguator is supposed to mean. Is it a song? Dominicmgm (talk) 14:56, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fee willy

Implausible typo. I doubt anyone would miss the "R" from "free". Dominicmgm (talk) 14:52, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bum bum be-dum

I propose this redirect be deleted per #5 and #8 of WP:R#DELETE and WP:NOTLYRICS as with Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 November 28#Work work work work work. Pamzeis (talk) 13:54, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stephen French (troll)

Mr. French is a non-notable living person who was convicted of threatening and harassing Lorraine Higgins. "Troll" as a parenthetical disambiguator seems like a BLP violation to me (though some newspapers have described him as an internet troll). I suggest deleting this and replacing it with something like Stephen French (criminal). Cheers, gnu57 13:07, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(East Lancs) British Citybus

Implausible search term Nightfury 09:53, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Geodreieck

This is the name of a set square produced by a German company. The target of the redirect was a section of Set square that was removed as blatant advertising [1]. So, the only occurrence of "Geodreieck" in En WP is this redirect, which must be deleted either. D.Lazard (talk) 08:27, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Incompetent valves

I don't believe that this specific term is mentioned at the target.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  08:04, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Put to the sword

This could also refer to Capital punishment.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  07:49, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Soft Redirect to it's wiktionary entry? I couldn't find any articles discussing this phrase. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 10:23, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • See Google book search "put to the sword" "no quarter" to see that the two terms are very closely related. One is the action of killing when no quarter has given. Quite a few of these books refer to the end of Cromwell's siege of Drogheda and "put to the sword" is used idiomatically as Cromwell in his report uses the term "knocked on the head" for the way they tended to kill priests and others. -- PBS (talk) 12:56, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Actually checking the report Cromwell uses both the sword and head descriptions: "were ordered by me to put them all to the Sword; and indeed being in the heat of action, I forbade them to spare any that were in Arms in the Town" and "I believe all their Fryers were knockt on the head promiscuously". The phrases sword quarter also often used in conjunction about the Siege of the Alamo eg The Edinburgh Review - Volumes 73-74 - Page 265 1841; and in popular culture for exam in Ballad of the Alamo 1:51–2:00 "Santa Anna ... roared./"I will show them no quarter, everyone will be put to the sword." (I use the song, not as a reliable source about the Alamo, but to show that these terms are not obscure academic ones but are also used together in popular culture and therefore widely understood). -- PBS (talk) 13:29, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • As far as I know (PBS (talk)) "put to the sword" is not a phrase that means capital punishment; User:Mr. Guye do you have any examples? As to redirecting it to Wiktionary why when the term no quarter is covered by laws of war "it is especially forbidden ... to declare that no quarter will be given" and as the OED defines it that is precisely what the term put to the sword means (meaning 3 in the OED) -- which is not to execute but to use in the military to slaughter with the sword:
    • 3. [Sword]
      • a. transferred. The use of the sword in warfare, massacre, etc.; hence, slaughter; warfare; military force or power; also, the military profession or class, the army.
      • b. to put (†do) to the sword, to kill or slaughter with the sword.
  • I suggest that if anything is to be done to this redirect it is done by bringing reliable sources to the discussion. So far neither User:Mr. Guye or 86.23.109.101 have presented any evidence as to why this redirect is not correct. -- PBS (talk) 11:20, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Podarke (polychaete)

redundant and misleading. Redirecting wrongly. Correct Podarke (genus) Estopedist1 (talk) 06:50, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris talk! 07:46, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sub Zero (roller coaster)

This was a fabricated claim by an editor who was later blocked. There was never a roller coaster announced or installed by this name at a Six Flags theme park. GoneIn60 (talk) 07:24, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Eductor-jet pump

It seems that these three (Eductor-jet pump, Eductors, Edutor) should probably go to the same place, but I don't know which place that is. I stumbled upon this situation while cleaning up Eduction. Note, too, that I redirected Educt to Eduction, in case anyone has other opinions about that one. Cnilep (talk) 06:44, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
