- The result of the discussion was retarget to Wikipedia#Access to content. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 07:37, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- Accessing Wikipedia → Help:Mobile access (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Odd cross-namespace redirect which doesn't currently have any inbound links. The target page is only a subset of "accessing Wikipedia" too: although the page does briefly mention desktop access, it is primarily focused on mobile as the name implies. the wub "?!" 22:45, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- Honesty matters....The page actually gives info on how to access Wikipedia online and offline on many platforms and many ways....as the lead sentence states. Best just say its a mainspace redirect thats not needed because why would we want to help people Access Wikipedia. --Moxy-

- Retarget to Wikipedia#Access to content per Shh, seems like a good target that explains the various ways of accessing content and avoids a cross namespace redirect, 86.23.109.101 (talk) 12:42, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- Retarget to Wikipedia#Access to content sounds good to me actually. the wub "?!" 11:13, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Not mentioned at target. I can't find any indication as to what this may be an initialism for or how it is related to the target page. Delete redirect and associated hatnote at target article unless this can be justified. Mdewman6 (talk) 21:16, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

- Brilliant brown → Orange (colour) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I cannot find any connection between "Brilliant brown" and orange, all the search results I get are related to the colour brown, unsurprisingly. Is this some kind of colour nomenclature that I'm just not familiar with? 86.23.109.101 (talk) 16:58, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- That article says that brilliant isn't a valid modifier for brown in the ISCC–NBS_system and that brilliant brown doesn't exist as a colour? I'm still not seeing how you get from there to orange, but that may just be my attempts at searching, everything is drowned out by make-up results. Even if it is correct I'm not seeing that searching for a non-existent classification is a plausible way of looking for for orange, I think most readers would expect to end up at brown. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 17:20, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- Delete Improbable redirect. I get the idea (brown objects reflect orange light dimly and this is understood by our eyes to be brown), but it's not something that is needed as a redirect. User:GKFXtalk 11:44, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- Retarget to ISCC–NBS system#Color categories, where this specific color (i.e. the lack of its existence) is actually mentioned. CycloneYoris talk! 06:33, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. This is not actually a color, so I think it more likely someone would be searching for a type of make-up, which dominates my search. -- Tavix (talk) 14:34, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Halo game
[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 Retarget Halo game & Halo video game to Halo (franchise); no consensus on Halo (game) & Halo (video game). There was consensus to retarget the two without parenthetical disambiguation (albeit with some !votes to delete them), but consensus was not reached to either retarget or delete the others. (non-admin closure) Tol | Talk | Contribs 20:52, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
- Halo video game → Halo: Combat Evolved (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Halo (game) → Halo: Combat Evolved (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Halo (video game) → Halo: Combat Evolved (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
These are ambiguous in my opinion, and do not exclusively refer to Halo: Combat Evolved. Back in 2005/2006 when these redirects were made there were only 2 games in the series, but I think there are now 16 video games in the halo franchise, plus some spin off board games and the like. A google search for these terms turns up a complete mix of results covering every game in the series, so I'm not convinced by the argument in the previous RfD that combat evolved is the primary topic of these phrases. I propose retargeting all of these to the article on the franchise (Halo (franchise)). 86.23.109.101 (talk) 12:25, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- Retarget to Halo (franchise)#Game series. Probably didn't need to be discussed here unless there was pushback on the retargetting. Also take a look at the hatnote on that page following any new redirects to it. Lithopsian (talk) 13:59, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- I listed them here because these redirects are ancient and some have been at their current target for over a decade, two of these have already been discussed at RFD and I shouldn't be unilaterally overriding the previous consensus and there have been numerous attempts to retarget them in the page history, so clearly there's been some disagreement over where they should target. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 14:28, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep Halo (video game) Delete the rest The last one is pointing to the right place IMO. The others are unnecessary permutations of the disambiguation, and the search function can handle it fine. (Typing "Halo video game" into search immediately brings up the franchise).ZXCVBNM (TALK) 09:24, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- In the last month these got 57, 12, 11 and 85 page views, so these are plausible search terms and shouldn't be deleted in my opinion. I'm not seeing any evidence that the last one is pointing to the right place, anywhere I search (e.g google) turns up a complete mix of results covering all kinds of games from the franchise. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 10:25, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- All right, I'll also vote to retarget Halo game to Halo (franchise) due to its ambiguity, as well as the fact that it clearly gets some use as a search term. I still submit that Halo video game and Halo (game) should be deleted due to their comparatively low views.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 14:31, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep those with parenthetical disambiguation that indicates they're looking for the first game and retarget the others to the franchise page. They get a decent amount of views and aren't unreasonable search terms.---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 05:41, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- Retarget all to Halo (franchise). I think this refers to whichever entry in the franchise someone happens to be talking about, with the primary probably being either the most newly released, or a soon-to-be released game if applicable. Either way, the franchise article has all games listed. -- Tavix (talk) 14:37, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

- Template:A → Template:Pagetype (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Extremeley confusing shortcut redirect, there is no connection between the letter "A" and the word "Pagetype". The pagetype template is basically never used in a page directly, it's always part of another template, so I don't see the need for a single letter shortcut redirect which are in extremeley short supply as there are only 26. Newly created, so no backlinks at the moment. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 12:22, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- @JsfasdF252: You do not need to try to reduce the number of characters of text in pages by creating weird redirects or any other method. It is not helpful and just makes them harder to read. See also TfD of Template:IN. The edit summary for this page's creation is "Save 7 characters". User:GKFXtalk 12:32, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- And by "any other method", do you mean creating "hybrid" template "shortcuts", splitting articles into "subpages", etc? JsfasdF252 (talk) 18:58, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- @JsfasdF252: I'd assume so - you definitely should not do that. Elli (talk | contribs) 19:17, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- Indeed, and you should have realized that when your edits were repeatedly reverted, the "hybrid" templates you created were repeatedly brought to TfD and de-hybridized or deleted, the article subpages you created were repeatedly deleted as A10 or converted to redirects, et cetera without Elli and GKFX having to explicitly tell you. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:20, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

- Delete, using this would just make wikitext more confusing. the wub "?!" 22:22, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- Do you have an idea of how much disk space we could have saved if we used {{a}} as a shortcut to {{pagetype}}? JsfasdF252 (talk) 05:08, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- Not much, and it doesn't matter. — J947 ‡ message ⁓ edits 06:28, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- JsfasdF252 None whatsoever, because every time you edit a page to replace {{pagetype}} with {{a}} you'll save a page diff to the database, which will be orders of magnitude larger than the 7 bytes you save using this shortcut. Any trivial performance benefit from reducing the page size by 7 bytes will be offset by the equally trivial but much larger reduction in performance from sending every template call through a redirect. The current database for the English Wikipedia is about 10TB in size, and there's another ~23 TB of files on commons, so saving at most a few megabytes of page size by making confusing redirects with no connection to their target is not helpful in my opinion. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 13:19, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

- Delete and salt The fact that this template, over its history, has served at least 5 different purposes (it was originally an accented character template that was deleted at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/Deleted/March 2005#Template:A, CapA, E, I, O, U Shravakayana, then was recreated as a test edit or vandalism twice, then was recreated a redirect to Template:A-classicon, which was deleted at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2010 January 29#Template:A-classicon, then was recreated as a signature template and deleted per Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2010 June 3#Template:A, then was recreated as a redirect to Template:Common abbreviations (meta), which was deleted per Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2019 January 9#Module:Common abbreviations (meta)/data, and then was recreated again to point to Template:Pagetype) is clear evidence that this is a hopelessly ambiguous shortcut and no recreation will be any less hopelessly ambiguous. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:20, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Inappropriate cross namespace redirect. It it extremely unlikely that readers are going to be searching for wikiprojects, and if they are looking for them I think it is inappropriate to send them to an informal forum for discussing improving the encyclopaedia, as opposed to an encyclopaedia topic on the subject (like the Wikiproject article). 86.23.109.101 (talk) 11:54, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

- 2028 United States presidential election → United States presidential election (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This is premature, and not a useful search term if it's just going to point to the generic presidential election article. ― Tartan357 Talk 04:04, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. There is absolutely nothing that can be said about this specific election at the moment, and we still have the 2024 election to go before this one. There was an article in the page history, but it consisted entirely of unsourced crystal balling about Joe Biden's eligibility to run assuming he won the 2024 election, and some WP:A10 able material that just described the generic process for a US election. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 12:04, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- I am in full agreement with the comments below that salting is required, these redirects always have issues with being repeatedly recreated years before we have anything worth saying. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 21:16, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. Too soon to have this redirect. If it gets repeatedly recreated we might use some WP:SALT until 2024. Dominicmgm (talk) 12:25, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- Salt Doesn't really matter if there's a redirect or not but since this was already created WAY too early and likely will be again, it should be protected until November 2024, just as the 2024 page was protected until after the 2020 election. Reywas92Talk 18:27, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- Salt until January 2024, when it would be reasonable to have the beginnings of an article. Elli (talk | contribs) 19:18, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- Move to draft and create a skeleton of an article at this title. We already do know some things about the 2028 presidential election. We know the date as provided for by law, and the Electoral College votes apportioned to the states. That's enough to start a draft. BD2412 T 20:21, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- BD2412, we already know the date of every future U.S. presidential election, so that isn't saying much. As for your second point, we actually don't know the Electoral College votes apportioned to the states, as the results of the 2020 Census haven't been finalized yet. We don't even know the Electoral College apportionment for 2024 yet. ― Tartan357 Talk 20:50, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- Then we can make the same statement about that as we have made in 2024 United States presidential election. BD2412 T 20:54, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- BD2412 So, you think we should have an article about 2028 with nothing to say other than the scheduled date of the election? We have as much to say about 2028 right now as we do about 2036, which is literally an example at WP:CRYSTAL of an article we shouldn't have. ― Tartan357 Talk 20:56, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- Did I say that we should have an article? BD2412 T 20:58, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- @BD2412: You said we should have a draft, which would need to be substantively updated at least every 6 months to continue to exist. I seriously doubt we'll have any more to say about 2028 6 months from now to allow us to keep a draft alive. It's way too soon for even a draft at this point. ― Tartan357 Talk 21:02, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- If so, then the draft will be deleted. Isn't deletion what you have advocated? BD2412 T 21:51, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- I'm advocating deletion of this redirect, not the creation of an article draft for eventual deletion. There is no reason to create and keep a draft that's clearly WP:TOOSOON for years on end. ― Tartan357 Talk 22:07, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

None of these epithets sound legit. A search for "Julian the Philosopher" on Gscholar returns a few results, but (as someone pointed out in the talk page awhile ago) in some of these the phrase seems to simply denote his philosophical activity – thus, a regular qualifier like any other, rather than a proper epithet. "Julian of Rome" sounds like the name of a priest or monk. A search for the more famous "Julian the Apostate" returns infinitely more results than any of these. Avilich (talk) 02:06, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- Delete Julian of Rome, Julian the Blessed, Julian the Great and Julianus Imperator; Keep Julian the Hellene (maybe) and Julian the Philosopher (certainly). I was perplexed by several references I found to a "Julian of Rome", but it appears to be an error for Pope Julius I. Srnec (talk) 03:28, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- Keep "Julian the Hellene", no opinion on the others.★Trekker (talk) 13:23, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: to the extent that any of these are likely search terms, they should be kept, even if other phrases are much more common. They should only be deleted if it is highly improbable that anyone would search under them—e.g. if they were the invention of a single person with an agenda to puff up Julian's reputation, and not adopted by any serious academics. "Julian the Blessed" strikes me as that sort of attempt to "counteract" the common title of "Julian the Apostate", which, while admittedly negative, is among the most common names for the subject, past and present, scholarly and otherwise, and, IMO, has lost most of its pejorative force (apart from the most fanatical of religious figures, who rails against apostasy these days?). So really Julian doesn't need a fan club to escape his "bad reputation amongst Christians"—most Christians don't really care that Julian, like all of the emperors before AD 337, was a pagan. Of course, if it's actually used in scholarly literature to refer to Julian, and not merely mentioned in passing, then even "Julian the Blessed" would be an appropriate redirect, but only if it's actually in general (not necessarily common, but not limited to a single source of dubious authority, and a handful of citations to it) use. I doubt that "Julianus Imperator" is a useful redirect, since it's just "Julian Emperor" translated into Latin, and this is English Wikipedia. It would be a reasonable redirect for Vicipaedia, or other Wikis that use Latin orthography for Romans, but we never use forms like this to refer to Julian in English—apart from, perhaps, the title of some chapter in a biography, or the caption of an illustration—but in those cases I still don't think anyone would search under the term. As Srnec suggests, "Julian of Rome" seems fatally vague, and might be better as a redirect for the pope. P Aculeius (talk) 13:53, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

- As the nom I still believe "Julian the Philosopher" is very flimsy and questionable. As is already clarified in Julian's talk page (December 2012), the epithet is quite rare and, when it does appear, it likely denotes Julian as a philosopher (a mundane reference to this occupation) rather than a something he was actually known as. If it ever becomes a common term it could be recreated, but currently it does not seem to be so, either in reliable sources or common usage. Avilich (talk) 20:30, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

- Its simple to just title the Article as ‘Julian’ (emperor) as most historians tend to not title a ruler as blessed, or any other title if it doesn’t specifically describe the rule of that monarch. With philosopher, does he complete important formats and advancements on philosophy? If not, we usually don’t describe a person with that status in name. Also, when I search up Julian (Emperor) (on Google, Safari, etc...) the first thing I see on the screen is this article.
