October 1

[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on October 1, 2018.

IPhone 9

[edit]

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 delete. There is no apparent consensus, but there is general agreement that the current target is bad and each of the proposed targets is also deemed bad by a majority of participants. Those arguing for deletion point to the inherent ambiguity as the main reason for deletion. Weighing up these arguments, deletion is the most plausible outcome. Deryck C. 17:04, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think this should now be deleted because it is ambiguous, per the discussion at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2017_November_5#IPhone_9, it could target iPhone XS, iPhone XR, or iPhone X depending on how you look at it. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 23:19, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Electronegativity-violating redirects

[edit]

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 keep. None of these pages were tagged, so typically I'd relist procedurally as this is technically an incomplete RfD. However, there has been a fair bit of discussion and the consensus outcome is keep, so there's no harm in closing this as Keep in spite of the process issue. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 17:25, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The names oxygen dihydride implies that the nitrogen/fluorine/…/oxygen is oxidized and the hydrogen is reduced. In reality, nitrogen, fluorine, …, and oxygen are more electronegative than hydrogen, so the hydrogen would be oxidized, and the nitrogen/fluorine/…/oxygen would be reduced, so the nitrogen/fluorine/…/oxygen, not the hydrogen, would get the -ide suffix because that always goes to the element that is reduced. Such a blatant violation of electronegativity would never occur, so I doubt that any of these names would be used in scientific literature besides an explanation of why electronegativity and ionic and polar bonds do not work like that. Also, even if things did work like that, the sulfur hydride page would still be wrong because the proper name would be sulfur dihydride. Also, if anyone finds any similar redirects, and not just with hydrogen (for example chlorine sodide or chlorine natride redirecting to sodium chloride), please add them to the list.

  • Just a question since I last looked at a chemistry textbook 20 years ago: would these be simple or obvious mistakes to make for someone less informed? i.e. NH3 ~= "nitrogen trihydride"? Redirects don't necessarily have to be correct, but would these be useful for finding information? Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 22:39, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Ivanvector: If you mean that people searching might think that nitrogen trihydride and trihydrogen mononitride are the same thing, I doubt that that's likely. If it is, we could make a new section in hydride that explains that hydrogen can only form hydrides with elements that are more electropositive than it because otherwise, the hydrogen would be oxidized, not reduced, and have all of the pages listed redirect to that section. A potential problem is that a different section would have to be made for compounds with a different "reduced" element, like chlorine natride. However, I doubt that reversed-oxidation names are significant enough to merit a page just for them. Care to differ or discuss with me? The Nth User 04:51, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, not quite what I meant. I meant more like a reader seeing NH3, counting "nitrogen and three hydrogens", and coming up with "nitrogen trihydride". It's wrong, but if I'm understanding you correctly nitrogen trihydride is a compound that can't exist, so a reader entering that as a search term is probably just mistaken and actually looking for ammonia. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 12:27, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The solution that I proposed would clarify things to the reader. Care to differ or discuss with me? The Nth User 06:09, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just because a name violates the electronegativity order does not mean it is not used; it's certainly not uncommon to hear of fluorine oxide. We should instead be asking whether these names are used, not whether they are correct. These compounds are simple enough (they are likely to be encountered in the first years of school chemistry) that I would favour keeping these redirects. Double sharp (talk) 04:04, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Double Sharp and the page view statistics that show all of these are terms that are used (very well used in some cases). We should not make it harder for people to find the information they are looking for - the article will correct any misconceptions, misunderstandings or similar the searcher has. Our job is to educate readers, not require them to be educated before they arrive here. Thryduulf (talk) 11:12, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The lead, which is typically the first and sometimes the only part of an article that visitors read, of Properties of water does not state which part of a water molecule is partially positive or negative (and readers might not even know that this is what is meant by water being polar), and Properties of water#Polarity and hydrogen bonding does not explain that the partial charges are due to the electrons being closer to the oxygen atom, explain that this is what is meant by the oxygen atom being partially reduced, or explain that the -ide suffix is only given to atoms that are reduced. The lead of Ammonia does not contain any mention to polarity, and Ammonia#Structure states that ammonia is polar but does not do anything to elaborate or state what that means. The article for hydrogen fluoride does not even have the word polar anywhere on the entire page. My point is that the target articles probably won't correct readers' misconceptions about things like what the -ide suffix means and whether or not there's a difference between hydrogen monofluoride and fluorine monohydride. Care to differ or discuss with me? The Nth User 06:09, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen, and even if the difference is relatively small, so small that the bond is practically covalent for some purposes, it would definitely be improper to state or imply that hydrogen is more electronegative than or oxidizes carbon.

Supergirl (season 2)

[edit]

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 keep. No need for the redirect to be deleted; a swap by an admin or page mover (such as yours truly) would more than suffice. But, before that, please acquire consensus at the talk page of list of Supergirl episodes. (non-admin closure) Regards, SshibumXZ (talk · contribs). 11:20, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Once this redirect is deleted, I can move Draft:Supergirl (season 2) to this name. At Talk:List of Supergirl episodes, I have justified my reasons for bringing the draft to the mainspace (even though it has yet to be responded to). Kailash29792 (talk) 18:54, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Originally Powah redirected to Power a proper disambiguation page, bots moved it, and that resulted in it being nominated for deletion. Mathiastck (talk) 01:49, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's listed at https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/powah as an Eye dialect spelling of power. Mathiastck (talk) 01:52, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to N-ary. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 18:40, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

n-ary arity is as likely a target (and the re-redirect from base 9 to ternary numeral system would lead to a misleading target.) — Arthur Rubin (talk) 04:20, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • See OEIS: A319726. --- Xayahrainie43 (talk) 10:16, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Change to point to disambiguation. There are multiple possible targets (even if at present some of them redirect to other articles). Therefore, I think, we should start to prepare the infrastructure in form of disambiguation pages up to at least Denary.
On each of these disambiguation pages there should be a "See also" section with links to the next lower and next higher disambiguation page, so that users can incrementally jump through the whole series (similar to what we did at the lower end, see Binary (disambiguation)).

The result of the discussion was retarget to Hyperoperation. (non-admin closure) Galobtter (pingó mió) 11:56, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and retarget to hyperoperation to avoid the double redirect. In contrast to Arthur above I think hyperoperation would be a good target for them, the terms are even mentioned there and discussed in a broader context.
--Matthiaspaul (talk) 08:43, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The double redirect would have to be fixed, of course. But we could tag these with {{R avoided double redirect}} to make their connection to "hexation" clear. How does that sound, Arthur Rubin? --BDD (talk) 17:39, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good to me. And thanks, BDD, I hereby learnt about a new rcat {{R avoided double redirect}} - so far I tried to achieve the same with HTML comments containing additional #redirect tokens for possible future use, but this rcat is obviously a better solution. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 22:09, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to hyperoperation. I don't understand anything in that article past "In mathematics," but "hyper6", "hyper-n" and "-ation" are all mentioned, so it seems as though the reader who searches for these will be taken to the most relevant information, and no other better target seems to exist. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 20:20, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
