December 7

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on December 7, 2023.

List of things named after King Faisal

Faisal of Saudi Arabia is not the only King Faisal to have had things named after him. In fact, there is a Wikipedia section on things named after King Faisal II of Iraq. Silcox (talk) 06:53, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Trade War with China

Also note that there exists an article on the Australia–China trade war, so the America-China trade war is not necessarily the primary topic of the phrase "Trade War with China". Silcox (talk) 06:42, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, pageviews indicate that for every day last month, the China-US page received between more than 10x minimum – 20x maximum the pageviews when compared to the Australian version of the same topic. I agree that a hatnote would definitely be useful linking to the Australian page, though. Utopes (talk / cont) 07:17, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep with hatnote per @Utopes, but I will keep this RfD open for the time being to be open to voices regarding this redirect Silcox (talk) 07:52, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What are you rebelling against? - Whaddaya got?

The hyphen used to signify a break in the quote, followed by the use of a subjective spelling of "whaddaya", means that its too inconsistent to nail down in a useful title. While this quote exists in two different parts at the target, the unlikely weaving of both with this required style and misspelling makes this implausible and not worth maintaining, from my point of view. Utopes (talk / cont) 06:24, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Guys, I'm eating junk food and watching rubbish, you better come out and stop me!

"Junk food" and "rubbish" are not mentioned at the target article. Because this quote is never actually discussed anywhere on Wikipedia, it doesn't need a redirect. People interested in searching for "Home Alone" would just type in that as a search term, not a random line from it that nobody would expect to be a redirect, especially with no mention at the target page to justify it. Utopes (talk / cont) 06:16, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Aspen Academy

This redirect is useless because there is no reference to the school in the article. Often when an elementary school or middle school is redirected, there is a list of schools in the target article. In this case, there is no list in which the school appears. The Heywood criterion is to insert a mention of at least the school and possibly other schools.

It's like a finger pointing away at the moon. Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory

Neither "moon", "concentrate", "heavenly", nor "glory" are mentioned at the target article. It isn't even the right quote because the actual quote is "to the moon" from the movie, but neither are plausible search terms to begin with and nothing about this quote makes it seem it needs to be a redirect, and without context of why this redirect exists, it is not helpful to readers. Utopes (talk / cont) 06:06, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

They call me: 'Mister Tibbs'

"They call me" is not mentioned anywhere in this article (the word "me" isn't mentioned at that), and even if it was, the colon and single quotations is too highly specific of a format that makes it highly unorthodox and unlikely to be useful Utopes (talk / cont) 06:01, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh Man! Oh God! Oh Man! Oh God! Oh Man! Oh God! Oh Man! Oh God! Oh Man! Oh God!

The phrase of "Oh Man! Oh God!" is mentioned once in this article, and appears with the description that "it was famous for the repetition of this phrase". I find it to be implausible that someone would write all ten sentences to reach this destination. Utopes (talk / cont) 05:56, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2-dimensional space

Pinging ongoing discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics#Disambiguation of Two-dimensional space. Please discuss it there, not here -- thanks! (The present nomination is for redirect "Two-dimensional space" to be retargeted to dab page Two-dimensional space (disambiguation).) fgnievinski (talk) 04:51, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fictional history

This does not always mean "historical fiction". I think this should just be deleted as vague, but if not, it ought to be disambiguated. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:46, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. The current target is definitely wrong, but I'm not sure what would be better. My first thought was possibly backstory but that feels incomplete. Origin story also exists, but that's a subtopic of backstory so definitely too specific. Thryduulf (talk) 05:37, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

📗

(WP:BRD) This emoji has the Unicode name "Green Book" (see Emojipedia), so Green Book would be the more precise target. feminist🇭🇰🇺🇦 (talk) 03:25, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to Green book per nom. I don't understand the reason why this is controversial at all. Thryduulf (talk) 04:49, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

List of Mississippi's congressional districts by HDI

There is no Human Development Index tabulation at the target. Included in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Alabama Congressional Districts by HDI, but was not deleted as it was not bundled properly. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Missouri's congressional districts by HDI. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:51, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Procedural, second redirect was not properly tagged.

API (redirects and miscellaneous)

This redirect has ... a troubled past and an problematic present. The past is ... apparently, this redirect holds history containing article versions for multiple unrelated subjects, as if users were using this page (when it was at API, apparently) as a sandbox or an WP:AFC process of some sort. However, as a redirect towards its current target, the disambiguator is unhelpful and unclear. In other words, it's unclear if the history should be retained, split, or whatever ... but either way, except for the non-article content at this title, the edit history is all over the place.

World's largest automakers

This redirect is a {{R with history}} as a result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/World's largest automakers, but it does not seem as though the current target is the appropriate target. For one, the name of this redirect does not make a clear whether or not it refers to countries, or companies, or etc. In regards to the aforementioned, some articles exist such as Automotive industry by country and List of manufacturers by motor vehicle production, but even then, it may not be clear where this redirect should target to be the most hefty for our readers, given it does not seem like either of the aforementioned pages have any such a list of what a "large automaker" is. Steel1943 (talk) 20:44, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to List of manufacturers by motor vehicle production as the most consistent definition of "large automaker". ChaotıċEnby(t · c) 22:53, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: It's still not entirely clear where this redirect should target.

Line (video)

It does not seem the subject of this redirect is adequately explained in the target article. Some related articles I found are Scan line and Video line selector, but I'm not sure which one is more relevant to the subject of the redirect. Steel1943 (talk) 18:12, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, far too vague. Someone searching for one of these topics with just the word "line" needs to refine their search. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:35, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Ivanvector. My first thought was progress bar, honestly. Too vague and unhelpful as a search term and too many potential targets that wouldn't make sense to disambiguate. 〜 Askarion ✉ 23:08, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Scan line. There are 11 video-related articles using this redirect so, no, it is not too vague. ~Kvng (talk) 15:12, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
