Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 May 29
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on May 29, 2023.
Space captain
- Space captain → Pilot in command (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
No mention of space at target. Lots of uses on enwiki to refer to fictional commanders of spaceships, but doesn't seem like we have a good target for this use. Could also refer to a captain in the U.S. Space Force or other military entity. For now, I suggest retargeting to Matthew Moore as {{R from miscapitalization}} to match Space Captain, since that seems to be the primary use of the term for either capitalization.

Agita language
- Agita language → Fuyug language (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I can't determine why this redirects here. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 18:20, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
Wikipedia:WX
- Wikipedia:WX → Wikipedia:Workspaces (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This page was previously redirected to Wikipedia:WikiProject_X, but another editor decided to redirect it to a completely unrelated redirect page, which I must discuss. Q𝟤𝟪 15:14, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
Snowglobe Mountain
- Snowglobe Mountain → Omori (video game) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not mentioned in target. QuicoleJR (talk) 15:11, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. No mention in Enwiki. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:54, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
Space Husband
- Space Husband → Omori (video game) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Space Ex-Husband → Omori (video game) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Space Boyfriend → Omori (video game) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Capt. Spaceboy → Omori (video game) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Captain Spaceboy → Omori (video game) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not mentioned in target. QuicoleJR (talk) 14:34, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Delete, not mentioned and therefore confusing, although Space Boyfriend might redirect to Zoom Lens (record label). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:57, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
Bilderberg.org
- Bilderberg.org → Bilderberg meeting (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Don't see what purpose this redirect serves. Are .org redirects the norm? Gjs238 (talk) 12:55, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. Appears to be a conspiracy theorist website about the meeting, which is not mentioned in the "Conspiracy theories" section in the target article. It seems User:Trivialist created the redirect from a red-linked description of an external link that was in the 2003 Bilderberg Meeting at the time. The article has since been merged/redirected and the link removed. --Paul_012 (talk) 13:24, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
Sylhet region
- Sylhet region → Sylhet Division (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This redirect targets to Sylhet Division (Bangladesh) which forms most of Sylhet but it isn't exactly an equivalent of Sylhet "region" which also includes Karimganj district in India. I propose that this be retargeted to History of Sylhet which, in my opinion, is a better target because it emphasises on the entirety of Sylhet region, unlike the division article which is focused on only a part of that region. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 18:27, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
- Support Mehedi Abedin 07:28, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reject - In the modern sense, the term 'Sylhet region' is used interchangeably with Sylhet Division. Although the Bangladeshi division of Sylhet does not include the three and a half thanas now part of India, it is still referred to as such but the same cannot be said in the Indian side, where they prefer using terms such as Barak Valley and associating with that as an alternative. UserNumber (talk) 18:06, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
- Karimganj district's association with Barak Valley was only a post-partition development. For most of its history, that was not the case. I believe, as a "region" it still forms a part of Sylhet alongside the more specific Sylhet division. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 14:53, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

FIEE
- FIEE → Institution of Electrical Engineers (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
FIEE, if anything, would stand for trade this show. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 18:26, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
- Retarget to Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology, which was formerly known as Fellow of the Institution of Electrical Engineers. The only other use of this acronym in Wikipedia is
an apparent typothe acronym of a department name in Spanish at National University of San Marcos; in particular, the trade show is not covered in any article 59.149.117.119 (talk) 02:24, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris talk! 10:49, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Retarget to Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology where it is mentioned. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 18:00, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
Next Thai general election
- Next Thai general election → 2023 Thai general election (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Next Thai legislative election → 2023 Thai general election (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Next Thailand legislative election → 2023 Thai general election (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
No longer accurate now that the election has taken place. Links can be red until there's enough information for an article about the new next election. Paul_012 (talk) 10:24, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Delete as unhelpful per nom. Doing so doesn't look to have major unintended consequences as far as I can see. No discussion at List of next general elections, which should be updated too. J947 † edits 10:34, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
List of largest automotive companies by revenue
- List of largest automotive companies by revenue → List of largest companies by revenue (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This redirect is completely different from the article it links to. Plus, we already have the article List of manufacturers by motor vehicle production. I think this redirect should be deleted. rayukk | talk 09:15, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- List of largest manufacturing companies by revenue might be a better fit for this redirect? Also note that the current state of affairs is the result of an AFD discussion [Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of largest automotive companies by revenue] 192.76.8.86 (talk) 19:11, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
Wikipedia:XPROTECT
- Wikipedia:XPROTECT → Wikipedia:Protection policy#Extended protection (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I don't know what kind of protection this charging cable refers to. Q𝟤𝟪 07:09, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Retarget to Wikipedia:Protection_policy#Extended_confirmed_protection. @Q28: I find your references to a "charging cable" confusing; are you using machine translation? –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 07:17, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- @LaundryPizza03Yes, I am using the Chinese-English translation function of iFLYTEK input method. This sentence means “充电线” in Chinese, It is closer to the pronunciation of redirection“重定向”. Q𝟤𝟪 07:20, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Fix the section link per LaundryPizza03. X is a fairly well used shortcut for extended, see WP:XC or WP:XCON, for example. 192.76.8.86 (talk) 19:08, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
Kasethan Kadavulada (unreleased film)
- Kasethan Kadavulada (unreleased film) → Kasethan Kadavulada (2023 film) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
The film has released, and this doesn't link anywhere in the mainspace. Kailash29792 (talk) 06:56, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Retarget per nom. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 07:18, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- The nominator does not appear to be suggesting retargeting. --Paul_012 (talk) 10:32, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, I mean deletion. Should I renominate in the right manner? Or is this it? Kailash29792 (talk) 12:38, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- The nomination is already correctly formatted; I think LaundryPizza03 just had a moment of confusion there. You could edit the nom statement above to more explicitly suggest deletion, though. --Paul_012 (talk) 12:49, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, I mean deletion. Should I renominate in the right manner? Or is this it? Kailash29792 (talk) 12:38, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- The nominator does not appear to be suggesting retargeting. --Paul_012 (talk) 10:32, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Delete in the spirit of G7, as Kailash29792 was the one who moved the article to this title, where it remained for six days or so last month. --Paul_012 (talk) 13:29, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Delete now released. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 18:02, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:RFD#K5 for now, as it still has a significant amount of pageviews from somewhere (approx 10 per day). It should be deleted once the page views drop off. 192.76.8.86 (talk) 19:03, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
拉 莫勒 安托內利尖塔
- 拉 莫勒 安托內利尖塔 → Mole Antonelliana (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This is a mashup between the normal Chinese name for the place (zh:安托內利尖塔, literally "Antonelli's Spire") preceded by an attempt at transcription into Chinese characters of La Mole. Even leaving aside the WP:FORRED issues with a Chinese-language redirect to an Italian landmark, this name appears nowhere else on the Internet besides one Wikipedia scraper [1][2]. The unsourced WP:BLARed article in the history of the redirect, Special:Permalink/349197547, was not merged anywhere that I can see. In particular, the Chinese Wikipedia article created five days after this redirect, zh:Special:Permalink/12609206, doesn't contain any of the same text. Thus there's no need to keep the history for any WP:ATTR purposes either. 59.149.117.119 (talk) 05:25, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. --Paul_012 (talk) 13:32, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Twinkle/Bugs
- Wikipedia:Twinkle/Bugs → Wikipedia talk:Twinkle (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I think such an object is meaningless and should be deleted Q𝟤𝟪 04:44, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. J947 † edits 05:01, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Looks like the Twinkle bug page was Wikipedia talk:Twinkle/Bugs for many years, then was changed in 2019. This redirect could help folks navigate from the old bug page to the new bug page. –Novem Linguae (talk) 06:45, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Takes people to the right place for reporting bug in twinkle, the talk page was used for bug reports for many years and has significant history that should be kept. 192.76.8.86 (talk) 18:58, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
Wikipedia:JX
- Wikipedia:JX → Wikipedia:WikiProject Jacksonville (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I always feel that this charging line is not very good and should be deleted. Q𝟤𝟪 04:40, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. J947 † edits 05:01, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- What's a "charging line"? –Novem Linguae (talk) 06:40, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Novem LinguaeWhat I want to express is that the abbreviation of JX is not mentioned from the target of orientation. Q𝟤𝟪 07:13, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Delete While "JAX" for "Jacksonville" has been in use for a long time (I remember it being used in the 1950s), I've never heard of or seen "JX" so used.
