April 5

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on April 5, 2021.

Lolotte

Not mentioned in the target. Pichpich (talk) 23:05, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: only because I edited to add mention in the target. It's a french climbing term (fr:Mouvements d'escalade). I did my best to add the definition to the French term with interwiki links. I might have gotten it wrong, so please update/edit/fix. sbb (talk) 00:39, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment should a non-English term appear in an English language glossary? Shouldn't it be on Wiktionary instead? -- 67.70.27.246 (talk) 21:44, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Interesting question. I know a only a tiny bit about climbing terms, but from what I do know, many of them are French or come from French. I'm not sure how much lolotte is universal, or just French. From the other definitions, it does seem similar to 'dropknee'/'Egyptian'. But I'm not knowledgeable enough to say if they're related or synonyms. sbb (talk) 23:03, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2017–18 Coupe de France Preliminary Round, Centre-Val de Loire

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. (non-admin closure) Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:30, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This page with this title was created by mistake due to incorrect spelling. There is no need to create the redirect Dr Salvus 21:51, 5 April 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.

Family Guy (season seven)

Should be deleted. Nothing links to it, and seems to be the only Family Guy season number that is spelled out. sbb (talk) 18:53, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Next Untied Kingdom general election

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 G7. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 15:03, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how plausible this redirect is, since Untied Kingdom general election doesn't exist. The redirect page only has 147 pageviews for 5 years, while "Next United Kingdom general election" has over 4 million pageviews. Also, I don't know if we should retarget to the correct target because it's not enough to justify the redirect. Seventyfiveyears (talk) 16:25, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Combichrist - Heat EP: All Pain Is Beat

Not sure if this redirect was ever useful, but certainly not anymore now that the target is itself a redirect (due to lack of notability). Lennart97 (talk) 13:56, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete useless as a redirect since no-one is ever going to be searching for this album in the Wikipedia talk namespace. This could probably be G8'd as a talk page with no existing subject page. There is a misplaced draft in the page history, but since it was last edited in 2009 it would qualify for G13 deletion if moved into the draft namespace. The draft is entirely unsourced (and the article this used to target was sourced only to discogs) so if restored and moved to article space this version of the article may qualify for A9 deletion as well. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 14:05, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Douglas Robinson (athlete)

A redirect to a DAB page with no relevant entry. He is linked in Allen Sangree. Delete to encourage article creation if justified. Narky Blert (talk) 13:54, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cake tin

I think people searching for these are more likley to be looking for an article on cake tins than an article on a stadium that was nicknamed "The Cake Tin" due to it's resemblance to one. Any search I do indicates that the cookware is the primary meaning of this phrase, but I'm unsure where to target these. Cookware and bakeware gives a general overview of the topic, especially in the Cookware and bakeware#Bakeware section, but there's also the spun out Mold (cooking implement) article, which could be a reasonable target 86.23.109.101 (talk) 12:53, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ヒノマルクラゲ

To be deleted. Seems to be obvious foreign language clutter in enwiki: Estopedist1 (talk) 12:49, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Estopedist1: I've fixed this malformed nomination and tagged the redirects for you. Could you please read the instructions on how to do bundled nominations properly at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion#How to list a redirect or discussion? When you nominate more than one redirect in a discussion they all need to be tagged and put in an RfD2 template, you can't just stick them in a bullet point list at the end of the nomination. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 13:06, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Estopedist1: how do these differ from any of the other redirects in Category:Redirects from non-English-language terms ( 1,029 )? Why are these particular ones singled out? --awkwafaba (📥) 02:13, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Awkwafaba: these are categorized into content categories, in this case into: Category:Siphonophorae; hence - obvious clutter. In addition, probably most of these foreign language redirects (ie Category:Redirects from non-English-language terms) should be deleted in future to keep enwiki database clean--Estopedist1 (talk) 05:50, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Estopedist1: sounds like you really want to take the above pages out of Category:Siphonophorae and a CfD on Category:Redirects from non-English-language terms. --awkwafaba (📥) 03:00, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Portable farm

I can't figure out the connection between this redirect and it's target, I assume someone built a farm in a shipping container at some point? The only mention of farming in the target is a sentence saying shipping containers are used for transporting farm produce 86.23.109.101 (talk) 12:39, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I can't either. Enwiki has nothing on "portable farm". I fixed the 2x incoming links. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 18:55, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete After searching I think the connection is that the company Freight Farms decided to use to use shipping containers for year long farming and I managed to find one article that referred to them by the term portable farm [[2]]. However, I haven’t found any other articles referring to these containers by this name nor does the Freight Farms article use that term either. In fact, I found more links for a VR farming simulator on Steam.--67.70.101.238 (talk) 20:37, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Volkswagen Volkswagen e-up!

Implausible typo, I can't find any evidence that the spelling with double volkswagen is in common use 86.23.109.101 (talk) 12:36, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wave and tidal power

WP:XY. Readers searching for this could be looking for Wave power or Tidal power, which are two different technologies. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 12:32, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Modern Painter

Delete. Uncapitalised versions Modern painters, Modern painter, Modern artist, Modern artists do not exist. Modern Artist does not exist, and Modern Painter is possibly ambiguous with the article Modern Painters. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:52, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cimarron (people)

This long-standing redirect may be wrongly targeted to a specific use: is Maroons (the target of Cimarrones) a better target for a more general use? Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:30, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This could go either way. I think it's okay as is, but can see the change. I added a mention of maroons to the lede of the Cimarron people (Panama) article, which helps direct someone who might have been looking for that article. Carter (talk) 13:42, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not (organizations)

Delete as it should be a red link so people don’t think it’s a current policy at the places it’s currently linked from. See linked discussion: [3]. Sorry, tough editing. 50.201.195.170 (talk)

13256278887989457651018865901401704640

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

This is the decimal representation of 09F9 et cetera. Anyone searching for the number would search for either its hexadecimal or binary form, not decimal. O.N.R. (talk) 10:19, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strange as it may be, the decimal redirection is as useful as its hexadecimal counterparts. See the Pageviews analysis for the redirection pages. – Fuzzy – 10:35, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: normally I hate this type of seemingly-ephemeral cruft, but if a search engine hits this number and redirects to a useful page about the information, that's definitely keep-worthy. sbb (talk) 20:23, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

General Luna Avenue

The redirect, General Luna Avenue, with a complicated history, should be deleted. The article doesn't have a paragraph that's specific to the avenue itself. Originally it was a standalone article that was slapped with notability tag from 2009, then PROD-ed by Doghouse09 on August 25, 2020 (date in accordance with Philippine time zone), then de-PROD-ed by Djsasso on August 28, 2020 claiming it is a national road. However, it is not listed at the Philippine highway network (perhaps a national tertiary road, but even listed there it will still fail notability guidelines). It was finally redirected to San Mateo, Rizal on March 31, 2021 by Mccapra, citing notability issue. However, as I said earlier the target seems inappropriate, and it is better to have this deleted as there is no such article as "List of roads in Rizal", "List of roads in CALABARZON" or any similar list articles to retain it (unlike those that redirect today at List of roads in Metro Manila). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 03:52, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note: this discussion also involves two other redirects that formerly redirected here (pinged the redirect creators per their edit histories, to add notice of RFD on those redirects shortly afterward): (@HueMan1:) (@Bluemask:) _ JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 03:57, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

!vote: A version of the article of on the band General Luna (band) was created under the title Gen. Luna Avenue. I haven't read that the band ever referred with that "Avenue" name. --Bluemask (talk) 02:53, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Random sample

I think these two redirects should probably point to the same target, since one is just the plural of the other, but I'm unsure which target is better. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 11:17, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Was about to close this as a retarget, but then I noticed that two different targets are being discussed here: Sample (statistics) and Sampling (statistics). Which one is more appropriate?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris talk! 03:00, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dark Lakitu

This is a non-notable enemy who isn't mentioned at the target article. It was mentioned at Lakitu until July 2007, but hasn't been mentioned since that time, so I'm not sure about retargeting that redirect there. I'm leaning towards deletion unless a mention can be added somewhere. Regards, SONIC678 05:16, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t think a retarget is necessary here. Taking a look at the Lakitu article this minor variant that only appeared in a bonus area in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (not mentioned there) hasn’t been mentioned in the article for years strongly indicating that problem aren’t searching for it.--67.70.101.238 (talk) 02:43, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rawk Hawk

Rawk Hawk may have been the previous champion of the Glitz Pit, and had an article about him for almost one-and-a-half years before ShakespeareFan00 redirected it to List of characters in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door in July 2006. But alas, that was turned into a redirect itself, so I don't know if we should keep this thing lying around. I suggest we delete it unless someone can provide a justification. Regards, SONIC678 02:47, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

BMZ GmbH

A redirect from a random battery manufacturer to the article on smart batteries, where they are not mentioned in the article prose. Given the next edit of the redirect creator was to add an inappropriate external link to the companies website it seems it might have been made as part of a minor spam campaign. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 11:43, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Elastomeri

Histereza

This is not a misspelling as the category tags suggest but is instead the Polish word for Hysteresis. Since there is no connection between Polish and Hysteresis I think this should be deleted, per WP:FORRED. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 12:03, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
