April 15

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on April 15, 2021.

Claudia Pulchra (wife of Gracchus)

Complicated trove of misattributed/incorrect names which, since their original inception in 2015 (some were deleted and recreated several times after), have repeatedly misled readers and editors alike and led to several ill-conceived page moves and creations. There is only one person attested with the name 'Claudia Pulchra', but these entries and this highly irregular disambiguation page containing them have done a great deal to muddle this fact. Some of the people represented by the redirects are not even identical to whom the target articles represent, and so, even if any of the individual entries were correct, they'd be next to useless. It's highly unlikely anybody will ever type any of these terms without knowing them beforehand, and deleting all will spare both readers and editors of misdirection and confusion in the future.

"North Carolina Press Association"

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. The nom is correct that these technically did not qualify for speedy deletion, but that's what WP:IAR is for and I noted the reasoning in the deletion log. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:55, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Implausible typos (not recently created so ineligible for speedy deletion). Elli (talk | contribs) 18:19, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Deceased inventor

This just strikes me as very unlikely search term. No incoming links at all, so it isn't used anywhere. Not mentioned in target article, and if someone was searching this, it is not a safe assumption that they were curious specifically about patent law. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:07, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • If anything I think List of inventors would make more sense since I believe it’s more likely thy someone using this as a search term is looking for a list of dead inventors and since the list does mentioned the date of birth and death (if applicable) the list could be used in that way. At the very least it makes more sense than the current target.--67.70.101.238 (talk) 21:54, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infravision

Delete the redirect as no longer useful. Target article used to have a section describing infravision, but it was removed so the redirect is just confusing. Also before being a redirect this article covered the topic, but because it has no current references it was reverted when I restored it. Diego (talk) 16:52, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Infravision" has four closely-related meanings in D&D (non-WP:RS links): an inherent ability of some races, a spell and a potion which confer the ability as a temporary effect, and a few artefacts which confer the ability as a permanent effect while equipped. IMO we should cover it somewhere, but it definitely does not deserve a standalone article. The spell is widely considered to be the most useless in the whole arcane spellbook, and the best use of the items is to sell them. Narky Blert (talk) 08:30, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Restoring/refining as a redirect isn't appropriate as the target article doesn't have any relevant content. Maybe such content can be (re)added, but that should be somewhere else – maybe a lower-level D&D article, or some new Night vision in fiction? Disambiguation is tempting, but apart from the D&D meaning, there's only one other entry – for Infrared vision. Is infravision ever used to mean that?, I couldn't find any sources during a quick search. Unless something new comes up, I believe the only viable options are deletion, and – preferably, in my opinion – provisional soft retargeting to Wiktionary: wikt:infravision provides a brief definition of the term and so far seems like the least of all evils. – Uanfala (talk) 15:55, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

GeorgeNotFound

GeorgeNotFonud is not "Dream". This redirect is misleading, as it gives the impression that this person is Dream, when in fact, he is not. (WP:RDEL number 10) JackFromReedsburg (talk | contribs) 16:44, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete and Salt. The current target contains basically no information about this person, just a passing mention that they made a video together at some point. There has been a huge amount of disruptive editing in the page history, such as attempts to turn this into an unsourced BLP, and it seems to have become a bit of a sock magnet, so I think EC create protection would be appropriate. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 16:57, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alibi (Bradley Cooper song)

Only one entry which is a redirect. No navigational help. Richhoncho (talk) 16:33, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep there's nothing wrong with redirecting a track to its parent album (which is the case here) and this title is mentioned within the target. In fact, that's quite a common practice when the song doesn't warrant a separate article. I don't see any problems here. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 18:15, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Paris Saint-Germain F.C. (amateurs)

No mention of an amateur team at the target, delete unless a duly sourced mention or other justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 15:26, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. --BDD (talk) 16:57, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fent

While this does appear to sometimes be a slang term for fentanyl, it also is a word in its own right. I'm not really sure whether a wiktionary redirect or deletion is more appropriate here. signed, Rosguill talk 15:20, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

II

The term "II" is extremely broad and can refer to a variety of things. 54nd60x (talk) 12:37, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hanna-Barbera's Cartoon Corral

Non-notable compilation series redirected unilaterally in 2005, and no longer mentioned at target. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:14, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Globe (Earth)

Should this target earth or globe? I think either could be a reasonable target for this. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 12:47, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Informal name for the entire world in a geographic context is a plausible search term. Average 0.572 PVS/day is not bad. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:21, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I agree with Bilorv's reasoning. (Regarding pageview stats, I think recent hits might be somewhat inflated as a result of it being listed at RfD. If you look at a span of a few months in 2020, it's more like 1 pageview per 6 days or so. I have to imagine that's close to the floor that would be accrued by any nonsense redirect targeting a popular article. e.g. just from people checking the redirects at Special:WhatLinksHere/Earth.) Colin M (talk) 15:13, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Questionable

question is about questions as a linguistic concept. wikt:questionable means dubious/problematic. The meaning of the word is unrelated to the topic of the article. It just has a superficial orthographic similarity. If I had to redirect this somewhere, something like doubt would be a better target, but really I think it should just be deleted per WP:NOTDIC.
