July 14

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on July 14, 2023.

Instrumental version

Instrumental version → Remix (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

The instrumental version can also refer to instrumental music. I'm sure this is a better retarget to the page Instrumental. 176.33.242.229 (talk) 12:56, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

911 War

911 War → War in Afghanistan (2001–2021) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

While this could also redirect to War on Terror, I suggest deleting it to avoid an unhelpful link clogging up the search bar that could lead readers to an unwanted target. —Lights and freedom (talk ~ contribs) 19:34, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. We don't have 9/11 war or similar, and this could possibly be confused with some sort of war involving 9-1-1 or other things listed at 911. Mdewman6 (talk) 21:42, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - We don't have 9/11 war because it's not a particularly common name for it, but it is a name that has been used for the War in Afghanistan. Dropping the slash makes plenty of sense. This is not an ambiguous topic, no war has ever started over the use of 9-1-1 or anything else listed at 911, so no confusion is really possible. Given the topic is unambiguous, and redirects are WP:CHEAP, I see no reason to delete. (I would support the existence of 9/11 war as well) Fieari (talk) 00:48, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep: The War in Afghanistan is definitely based on 9/11 with the AUMF being enacted just 7 days after 9/11. I had some concerns if this could be ambiguous with regards to the 1973 Chilean coup d'état which is referred to by the term "11 de Septiembre", but it does not seem like that is referred to by pretty much anywhere as the 9/11 war, so this seems like an unambiguous enough topic.

Weak delete: The War on Terror is a plausible alternative target, but I find the slash in 9/11 to be essential; if anything, the redirect should be 9/11 War. Other 9/11 redirects have the slash and very few don't (911 attackers - 9/11 attackers, 911 denial - 9/11 denial, etc.), so I'd be wary having a redirect for 911 War; at least not without 9/11 War to accompany. It's a plausible search term though (WP:CHEAP), so this is a weak delete from me. 〜 Askarion ✉ 16:50, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If kept, I think creating redirects at 9/11 war and 9/11 War is a good idea. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 00:12, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
