IPhone 8 (2nd generation)

I think this redirect page is unnecessary. Hajoon0102 💬 23:18, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OIIIIIIIO

It appears pageviews suggests that there have only been 29 pageviews of this article during its entire history. The redirect doesn't appear to be something most people are actually going to use. Does this need to exist? ActuallyNeverHappened02 (a place to chalk | a list of stuff i've done) 22:11, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete. The title is an ASCII representation of a Jeep grille and headlamps, so I can see why it was created. However, it doesn't seem encyclopedic and is hardly a plausible search term. --Sable232 (talk) 22:17, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, not a nonsense redirect but doesn't seem plausible, only search results for the term is an Urban Dictionary entry and social media, which make it clear that it represents Jeep. Bonoahx (talk) 23:00, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of leap years

There is no list of leap years anywhere on the target page, so this redirect should be deleted. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 18:19, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nor should there be. Delete as pointless. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 19:27, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

N,

Seems to be a non-standard representation of the IPA character "ŋ", and doesn't appear in conventional remappings like X-SAMPA. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 15:46, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I think the goal was a way to represent the Greek letter using a standard keyboard (a lowercase n plus a comma, so "n,"). Hence, if kept, retarget to the article about the letter rather than the sound it represents. Based on the location of the comma, I think it's closer to Eng than a cedilla under an N, but I don't feel strongly, and maybe the ambiguity and low plausibilty suggest deletion would be best. Mdewman6 (talk) 22:02, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Given that both the hook and the cedilla appear under the letter, and the cedilla looks more like a comma than a hook, then I think Ņ would be a much better target. That would also match C, (which redirects to Ç), though there doesn't seem to be corresponding redirects for most of the other cedilla versions of letters, like D, -> /. – Uanfala (talk) 14:52, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
But Ņ is just a redirect to Cedilla (Ç being much, much more notable than Ņ). I agree we should try to treat these analogously, but as you say, ŋ is much more prevalent than Ņ. Retargeting a specific letter with a comma to cedilla doesn't seem very solid. Mdewman6 (talk) 21:32, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

G.D. Goenka School and G.d goenka. public school

redirect is reasonably old and abandoned. Not required and useful in anyways. BeLucky (talk · contribs) 14:05, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The revolution of farmers

R from move leftover from the page's early history, when it stood at this title for ten days following creation, before being renamed. There's probably a better target, but I'm not sure what that would be. If one isn't identified, deletion would be best. Paul_012 (talk) 14:05, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Loveleen Mishra

Hum Log is a DAB page, and a useless target. Loveleen Mishra is an actress who has appeared in Hum Log (television series), but also elsewhere; see her IMDb entry. Delete, to encourage article creation if justified. Narky Blert (talk) 13:20, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pneumoultramicroscopicsilicanovolcanoconiosis

Currently redirects to Longest word in English but an article for the word has been created in the meantime. Suggesting either a retarget to Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis as R from misspelling, or potentially deletion, I can only find two Google results with this misspelling that are WP:CIRCULAR, from an Italian-language version of Longest word in English. Bonoahx (talk) 12:29, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Golden orb

The redirect may refer to other things, like Maya the Bee: The Golden Orb or an object of the same name mentioned in either Part 3 (Twin Peaks) or Dragon Quest V. George Ho (talk) 11:12, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, just convert it to a dab page; no need for discussion. Peter coxhead (talk) 11:44, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mercedes-Benz CLT-Class

The only reference to this I can find anywhere is this article [1] published one day after the redirect was created (but that could be a timezone issue I suppose) claiming the CLT would be shown in Paris. It's safe to say that didn't happen and that nothing ever came of this rumoured model. Delete. A7V2 (talk) 11:08, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The CLT was a real concept car that gets referenced by even Mercedes Dealerships in their modern marketing materials. In fact, both the modern marketing materials and the automotive snooping sites reference a “shooting brake” design, which makes me think that this was a real concept car. It looks to me like this might just be the CLA under an in-development name, but that would be a bit OR-y to explicitly claim. In any case, the CLT was clearly a real thing, though it never made it to mass production under that title. I see no harm in keeping the redirect under these circumstances. — Mhawk10 (talk) 15:51, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • This redirect was created back in 2008 when the "spy shots" of this supposed new model (I personally wouldn't consider them a reliable source) were taken. It's unlikely that the dealership describing the proposed CLT is referring to the same model, and I wouldn't say it is evidence that this is "real" as it is more of a vague reference when describing something else. In any case, there is no mention at the target, so keeping this redirect would serve only to mislead or confuse anyone searching this term. A7V2 (talk) 00:16, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Conjuration

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 procedurally closed. The redirect can't be retargeted to the dab page because of WP:DABNAME. What needs to happen is for the the dab page to be renamed, and getting consensus for that requires an RM discussion. This is being followed up on the nominator's user talk. (non-admin closure)Uanfala (talk) 23:39, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the redirect target for Conjuration from Evocation to Conjuration (disambiguation). User:MB reverted this change on the grounds that the Hatnotes in Evocation indicate Evocation is the primary target, and any change needs to be discussed. Note that: 1. Conjuration (disambiguation) (which I have not changed) already lists uses of the term other than Evocation of spirits. 2. The Wiktionary definitions of Conjuration include uses other than Evocation of spirits. I think my change was correct, and in addition the Hatnotes for Evocation may also need to be changed. Masato.harada (talk) 11:05, 10 March 2022 (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.

Mercedes-Benz T-Class

Both of these are rumoured/recently announced new models (see for example [2], [3] for the CLE, [4] and [5] for the T-Class) with no information or mention at the target or anywhere on wikipedia. Delete. A7V2 (talk) 10:59, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

BlueHybrid

The only mention of any kind at the current target is a part of the model name Mercedes-Benz S400 BlueHYBRID which itself is a redirect to Mercedes-Benz S-Class where the only mention is that same model name as a caption of a photo. Looking online it seems like this was the only "BlueHYBRID" model, and was only ever a prototype [6] and given the lack of recent articles I suppose it was abandoned. So potentially we could retarget to Mercedes-Benz S-Class but I would prefer deletion unless a better target can be found. A7V2 (talk) 10:49, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W221)#S 400 Hybrid (2009–2013). BlueHYBRID is definitely a real thing that Mercedes-Benz has used in its products. The 2010 S-Class BlueHYBRID itself has been significantly covered by Car and Driver, CNET, and Motor Trend, and Autoweek, as well as being explicitly mentioned in this Edmunds review of the 2010 S-class. This is much more than enough that is needed to establish that the existence of a redirect is acceptable. But, considering that the only use of the term appears to be in a designation for the 5th generation S-class, it seems better for the redirect to go there than to generally go to the Mercedes-Benz page. — Mhawk10 (talk) 17:30, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fresh Produce

Someone searching for "fresh produce" is likely to be looking for the topic Produce rather than a compilation album. For that matter, fresh produce is a red link. feminist (talk) Слава Україні! 07:34, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

*(Creator of the redirect here) Surely this doesn't need a discussion? Wouldn't it be easier by being bold by changing the redirect to produce and then creating Fresh Produce (album) to link to Seaway (band)? MusicforthePeople (talk) 09:56, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If it is so clear that that is what should be done, why didn't you do it when you created the redirect? You added categories and talk page content specific to albums to the current redirect, so it's not just a simple retarget. Mdewman6 (talk) 02:55, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It didn't occur to me at the time; I guess I thought it would be an obvious redirect (fresh produce to produce) that should've already existed. I support Mdewman6's suggestion. MusicforthePeople (talk) 07:07, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dick pic program

Seems to be derived from a joke featured on the television show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, shown here. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/they) 06:22, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Theleekycauldron: Except that it’s not a joke. The NSA is/was passing around pictures of naked people, and as laid out in the linked article various intelligence agencies collect bucketloads of data, it can’t be ruled out dick pics are collected too. Edward Snowden himself said in the interview, “Well, the good news is there is [= in 2012] no program named the ‘Dick Pic Program’, the bad news is they are still collecting everybody’s information. Including the dick pics.” The confusion is certainly there. ‑‑ K (🗪 | ) 12:44, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wine cats

Fear not, my last of the day. "Wine cats" could refer to a number of things, such as this book. It's surprising for this combination of two common words to instead link to an obscure projectspace subpage. No backlinks, low pageviews, and of course no way to know if readers visiting this link found what they were looking for. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 05:24, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Porn Project

This is the only WikiProject cross-namespace shortcut with the format "X Project" or "X project". Everything I said below about Ukraine Wikiproject stands, but here the greater concern is that it's a surprising redirect. "Porn Project" refers to a number of things, most notably a Christian anti-pornography group. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 05:20, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ukraine Wikiproject

This is the only WikiProject cross-namespace shortcut of the format "X Wikiproject" or "X WikiProject". As that link shows, XNRs to WikiProjects are quite rare to begin with. Any "Wikiproject:" or "WikiProject:" pseudonamespace has been conclusively ruled out by past RfDs (see documentation here), and I think "X Wikiproject" or "X WikiProject" should be treated the same, as the alternative would be opening the door to thousands of such XNRs. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 05:16, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Teleaid

Created as a redirect to Maybach (a subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz) then retargeted a few months later on the basis that "The system is available in all Mercedes-Benzes, why should it redirect to Maybach". Not mentioned at either article and I don't think any is justified. There are mentions at Car phone and a few Mercedes models such as Mercedes-Benz W140 (note that this one includes it as the redlink TELEAID). Looking online it is possible that this topic is notable but in any case with no suitable target I think delete. A7V2 (talk) 04:48, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Q Wiki Club

This XNR related to a GLAM program may have served some benefit when it was created, but isn't of any use now that the club is (apparently) no more. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 04:45, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for alerting on this - most Project class items related to the Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects in states of Australia - even where they may currently apparently no longer utilised have been kept (where possible) in archived form where possible - as a record of the activities held by the project(s) - so utilitarian concerns to date have been sublimated (so to speak) by the need to complement any metrics required by outside bodies as to the ups and downs and sideways of the projects and events. Where possible we keep the most trivial 'paper trails' for good purpose - that said and the commendable offering of a page view in the nomination (more power to the process of checking such items!) maybe in the end we dont need it - but as I am on the other side of this hot/wet continent - the more relevant editor might just be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kerry_Raymond...

  • Delete non-encyclopedic WP:XNR . If this was encyclopedically notable, it'd have an encyclopedic article. Otherwise, it should be using WP:Q Wiki Club -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 06:49, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete this unnecessary cross-namespace redirect. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 20:52, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Paulo Correa

A section in a poorly-maintained, poorly-formatted projectspace page quoting some (unsourced!) mean things this person said about Wikipedia is not a good usage of a cross-namespace redirect, and in fact poses serious BLP concerns. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 04:39, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ASPERSIONS

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 speedily deleted by Anthony Bradbury under the G7 criterion. (non-admin closure) -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 16:48, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Created with the summary ix broken link. I can only assume that someone somewhere had linked to this instead of WP:ASPERSIONS, but that's not a good reason to create an XNR. This could just be retargeted to Aspersion, but I generally disfavor all-caps redirects where there's no reason to think our readers would be expecting all-caps, per WP:COSTLY, hence I'd prefer to delete. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 04:35, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Canned edit summary

This XNR's creator left the summary Not likely to be searched by readers, which I'll recycle as its RfD rationale. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 04:33, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

2005 Britannica takeover of Wikimedia

Cross-namespace redirect to a humor page. Its appearance in the search bar, Special:AllPages, etc., as a mainspace page is actively misleading, as it implies that this is a thing that happened, or might have happened, or at least an encyclopedically notable hoax. N.B.: This page has been deleted five times before, but never by a consensus discussion. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 04:16, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

André Konsbruck

Not mentioned at target, doesn't appear he ever was mentioned there, and is currently not mentioned anywhere else, nor do I feel any mention is justified anywhere. This is a former article that was BLARed by David Gerard after removing some problematic sources. Looking at the last version of this [7] before the BLAR I don't think we should be restoring a BLP to a state where the only two "sources" are just photos. I definitely think delete. A7V2 (talk) 03:36, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Audi Q6

Appears to be a perpetually "announced" model. Of course there is no mention at the target. Created in 2011, though there are sources saying this car will be made in 2018 [8] and now more recent ones like [9]. Delete unless mention can be added somewhere, possibly at Audi e-tron (2018) since I think that may be the model that the first article I've mentioned is referring to (indeed it is reference number 7 from that article). A7V2 (talk) 03:30, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Brain Sucker

Unclear/vague redirect. Brainsuckers are enemies in Bloodborne for example. Should be deleted to allow the use of the search function. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 01:10, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. This is a case where there is no topic/article that adequately identifies a subject by this name, and search results would be more useful than a disambiguation page, especially if additional articles unrelated to the ones mentioned thus far mention a subject by this name. Steel1943 (talk) 22:42, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ukraine Is Not Yet Dead

This page was tagged as an implausible redirect and it is the translated title of a national anthem. I thought the editors at WP:RFD would be the best judges of whether it was indeed implausible. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 02:43, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

S/b/:Ralston Bowles

Another weird "s/b/:" one (see Special:Permalink/1076220363#s/b/:). If created today, this would be an A10. Jamie7687, in redirecting it, said this redirect should probably be deleted. Well, 16 years later, let's make that happen. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 01:18, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

S/b/:Hydropolis

This is the result of a pagemove from a nonsensical title four minutes after the page was created in 2005. Sixteen years later, I do not think it serves any purpose. It gets some pageviews, but not enough to give cause to believe that any humans are deliberately navigating to this redirect. Given the existence of S/b/:Ralston Bowles as well, I asked Graham87 if he was aware of any old MediaWiki things that could explain how these two pages were created, and he was as stumped as me. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 01:18, 10 March 2022 (UTC) c/e 14:39, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
