Delete due to capitalized disambiguator. Nickps (talk) 22:13, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: Yes, the capitalized disambiguator is wrong and if it were an article title it would be corrected. However it's a redirect that is in use on 33 articles indicating that it is not an uncommon mistake. Why remove it? It costs nothing. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 22:44, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- WP:PANDORA is a good enough reason to remove it. Forbes (Magazine), Fortune (Magazine) and several others don't exist but if this is kept then they should be created for consistency. Nickps (talk) 23:08, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- I see no reason that consistency is needed, nor do I see a reason to get rid of those that already exist. Title case is a thing, and some people type it habitually. It's helpful enough where it already exists, but it's not really needed to add everywhere. I'd say just let it be. Oh, uh... I guess I'll toss in a !vote of Keep here too. Fieari (talk) 00:14, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not saying that consistency is "needed", however the existence of one such redirect creates precedent that will eventually lead to more of them being created. Assume for a moment that an editor made a link to the incorrectly capitalized Time (Magazine) in an article and saw it works but then when they tried with Fortune it was red. Would it be that unreasonable for them to create the "missing" redirect? On the other hand if neither exists they will be forced to use the correct one. Nickps (talk) 01:10, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- They could correct the error, or they could create the missing redirect. Neither action would be harmful in any way. Thryduulf (talk) 01:33, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

- Keep per SchreiberBike - useful and harmless. WP:PANDORA is misleading nonsense - it's just WP:OTHERSTUFF with a side helping of WP:CRYSTAL. Thryduulf (talk) 01:31, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- How is WP:PANDORA related to WP:CRYSTAL? CRYSTAL clearly refers to articles being too forward-looking or speculative. It says nothing about how editors should argue at XFD and how could it considering it's under WP:NOT#Encyclopedic content. Nickps (talk) 02:35, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- PANDORA is entirely speculative - it presupposes, without evidence, that the existence of one redirect will result in the creation of a different redirect at some point in the future and, again without evidence, assumes that the presence of that other redirect will be harmful. Thryduulf (talk) 02:41, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- It's not an unnatural assumption to make. I've created a lot of redirects because similar ones already existed. E.g since std::string existed I made std::wstring, std::u8string &c. In my opinion, all of these redirects have merit on their own and don't need the others to exist, but the reason I actually created them instead of just not opposing their creation was consistency. Nickps (talk) 14:39, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
all of these redirects have merit on their own and don't need the others to exist
so in other words the existence of other redirects is not relevant to whether they should be kept or deleted, invalidating the core point of PANDORA. Thryduulf (talk) 22:30, 22 March 2024 (UTC)- If you want to ignore what I said afterwards, sure. I only said that
all of these redirects have merit on their own
to make it clear I didn't create the redirects to make a point. That doesn't mean one's existence is not dependent on the others' since, if the original hadn't been created, the others wouldn't exist either because I wouldn't have made them. I provided those redirects to counter the notion that[WP:PANDORA] presupposes, without evidence, that the existence of one redirect will result in the creation of a different redirect at some point in the future
nothing more, nothing less. The "core point of PANDORA", that unhelpful redirects warp user expectations leading to the creation of more unhelpful redirects and we should avoid that still stands. - On a similar note, I want to address the idea that WP:PANDORA
without evidence, assumes that the presence of that other redirect will be harmful
. This is only true if you don't accept the rationale behind WP:COSTLY. PANDORA redirects are harmful because of the reasons provided there, namely that they create more opportunities for similar redirects with mismatching targets, redirects pointing to the wrong target, and more opportunities for vandalism and content forks. And they do all that without any tangible benefit since they don't assist navigation. Especially in this RFD whose delete close would not be felt at all. Search will automagically take care of any queries that landed on this redirect until now. Nickps (talk) 00:09, 23 March 2024 (UTC)unhelpful redirects warp user expectations leading to the creation of more unhelpful redirects
you appear to be simultaneously arguing that the redirects you created are both helpful and unhelpful, useful for navigation and not useful for navigation. You cannot use good redirects existing because of the presence of other good redirects as evidence that bad redirects lead to the creation of other bad redirects, especially when their theoretically serving as inspiration for other redirects is the only reason you can give for them being bad.- You highlight a lot of theoretical problems that these redirects might cause, but provide no evidence that any of them do lead to that. We regularly see redirects that have existed for over a decade, which are unambiguously not useful, that (as far as we can tell) have never resulted in similar redirects being created, have never resulted in POV forks or vandalism.
This is only true if you don't accept the rationale behind WP:COSTLY.
COSTLY is an essay that gets some things objectively right, some things objectively wrong, and states some things as fact that are just opinion (some of which are widely shared, some of which are not). One that that is definitely wrong in the PANDORA section is that one redirect being good or bad is a reliable indicator that a similar redirect will be good or bad, when that is pure WP:OTHERSTUFF - redirects are judged on their own merits, not the merits of different redirects. Italia 90 is a good redirect, Italy 2026 is a very similar redirect that was deleted.- Finally as explained on multiple other discussions, search is not a panacea - some people will be automatically taken to the canonical capitalisation (which is not intrinsically more or less correct than any other, it's just an arbitrary convention) but not everybody - some people will be several clicks/taps away from the destination (it depends on a combination of some or all of, at least, what device/software they are using, how it is configured, how they are navigating, whether they have the ability to create an article at this title and whether the search engine is working correctly at that moment). Thryduulf (talk) 00:52, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
We regularly see redirects that have existed for over a decade, which are unambiguously not useful, that (as far as we can tell) have never resulted in similar redirects being created, have never resulted in POV forks or vandalism.
And that's great. But regularly is far from always. Since WP:VANDAL#Redirect vandalism is policy I trust that the editors who wrote it had examples even if I don't. My inexperience/lack of knowledge shouldn't be a factor in this discussion, that's an argument from incredulity. Creating a redirect is not something an IP can do, if we do it for them, we are opening ourselves up to more vandalism opportunities.- Now, about WP:OTHERSTUFF I have to admit that you're right. WP:PANDORA is in its core an "other stuff exists" argument. Hovever, we read in WP:When to use or avoid "other stuff exists" arguments that
While these comparisons are not a conclusive test, they may form part of a cogent argument; an entire comment should not be dismissed because it includes a comparative statement like this
. I argue that WP:COSTLY is this argument since it demonstrates the harm that unnecessary redirects can do. I don't want to delete this redirect just because it might lead to a similar redirect's creation. I want to delete it a) per WP:COSTLY#Relevant factors #1 and #2 as I think keeping it is more trouble than it's worth and only b) per WP:PANDORA. I thought this was implied by PANDORA's "unhelpful" but I was wrong and that's on me. One that that is definitely wrong in the PANDORA section is that one redirect being good or bad is a reliable indicator that a similar redirect will be good or bad
. That is almost certainly not wrong. In some cases there is a very strong correlation of what a redirect's form is and how good it is. All of the examples in WP:PANDORA are such cases and just because, say, What is the meaning of life? exists, that doesn't mean we can't say that the probability of a question redirect being bad is almost 1 by virtue of it being a question redirect.

- Keep as per WP:CHEAP. WP:PANDORA is not a reason to remove redirects; see User:Lunamann/Please, put Pandora back in the box. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 15:14, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- I think your essay is a bit confused to be honest. You say here that
WP:PANDORA is not a reason to remove redirects
but in User:Lunamann/Please, put Pandora back in the box you bring up the example of Who was the 15th president of the United States? which would be deleted per WP:PANDORA! (which applies toe.g. titles that turn articles or article subtopics into questions, like Who was the first president of the United States? or What is the capital of France?
) In fact, that entire last sentence tells us to consider how the redirect interacts with the search function which in my opinion applies here since if we delete Time (Magazine) the search function will still take care of users searching it. Nickps (talk) 16:44, 22 March 2024 (UTC)- The entire point of that last section was to show that the Pandora's Box argument is a non-argument, and to give examples of arguments that don't make WP:PANDORA's mistakes. IMO, the problem with WP:PANDORA isn't that it targets redirects that shouldn't be deleted, it's that it doesn't properly give a reason as per their removal-- it just says yeah nah, we need to remove these redirects, they're really bad, and so are redirects like 'em, just trust me bro.Also, admittedly, I'm not entirely happy with that last sentence. It doesn't feel like it SHOULD be applicable here, but I can't really think of very many salient, non-PANDORA arguments against "sentence" redirects i.e. Who was the 15th president of the United States?.

- I'll write my thoughts about sentence redirects on the essay's talk page at some point since we are getting off topic here. For here I'll just reiterate that, IMO, WP:PANDORA is a valid reason to delete redirects and those sentence redirects are examples of such a case. Nickps (talk) 18:20, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

- And has been helping people find the correct article all that time without causing any problems, so what is the benefit in deletion? Thryduulf (talk) 22:29, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- While its true it gets more views than most similar redirects its still likely those will get to the correct title if deleted. The incorrect title creates clutter, redirects are cheap yes but per WP:COSTLY we generally shouldn't have more redirects than needed. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:42, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- If
We generally shouldn't have more redirects than needed
were correct then we would have deleted most or all {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}, {{R from other disambiguation}}, {{R from other spelling}} and {{R from modification}} redirects. Redirects are kept based on whether they are useful, not whether they are "necessary". As explained above, WP:COSTLY is an essay that gets many things wrong, to the point that it is itself getting increasingly costly given how it is encouraging well-meaning editors to argue for the deletion of redirects that clearly benefit readers without causing any harm.

- Comment - This is a redirect from a misreading of the 山 kanji in the official name as yama instead of the correct reading of san. It's not that this is a real name or in use anywhere, it would be for someone who saw the kanji and misread it (very easy for even native Japanese readers to mix 'em up for non-famous locations, there's no general rule that can be applied to know which reading to use). I don't know if that hypothetical situation is enough to keep or if it should be deleted, so this is just a comment; I merely want to clarify what I imagine the redirect's creator was thinking when it was made. Fieari (talk) 00:20, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. If I've understood Fieari correctly this is a very plausible incorrect transliteration, which we should keep in the spirit of plausible typos and spelling errors. Thryduulf (talk) 01:35, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- This misspelling can be found nowhere in the Google corpus. The fact that kanji can be mispronounced is hard to reconcile with the misspelling in English. Why create a novel incorrect spelling when nobody outside Wikipedia apparently have misspelled the name so far? Викидим (talk) 06:48, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete as an implausible search term per Βικίδημος. Wrong kanji readings are not enough to warrant a redirect. It's essentially a very implausible WP:RTYPO. Even if we accept that this redirect could be useful to a native Japanese speaker who confused the readings, that would be inadmissible per WP:RFOREIGN. If this redirect stands, a Japanese speaker might expect that the English Wikipedia takes wrong readings into account when making redirects of Japanese names. Nickps (talk) 00:43, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep given the numerous Google Books hits [1]. Something which made it into print is a priori both a plausible error (since the author wrote it and the editor let it past) and a plausible search term (since people reading the printed source will not know what is the correct name). 59.149.117.119 (talk) 06:44, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- This is weird. Searching the correct name in Google Books turns up basically nothing [2]. Is there an explanation for that? Was there perhaps a point in time where the wrong name was more commonly used in the English speaking world? Nickps (talk) 00:14, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - Per Google Books hits linked above, and developing a stronger conviction that yes, if even native speakers can misread the name, this is a plausible error. Fieari (talk) 00:50, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Weak keepThis is given as an alternate name at the Finnish Wikipedia article for the crossing, although the citation there goes to a 404 page for me. I'd prefer better sourcing, but this doesn't seem implausible if it's listed on the Finnish wiki. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 22:15, 21 March 2024 (UTC)- I fail to understand the use for such a redirect: there is precisely zero information on the target page about such a double-named object. The actual information about the crossing is in Vartius. Yes, the target page provides a link to Vartius, but then shouldn't we simply redirect there? Keeping the redirect because Finnish Wikipedia has it appears to be a case of WP:OTHER. Also, I am sure that there are many more names for this crossing in other languages, so the road is slippery as well. Викидим (talk) 22:45, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

- Delete all - Content at the current target is irrelevant. These would need to target the aforementioned dab pages. However: Wikipedia is not a dictionary and one should not expect to be able to search in this manner. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 17:01, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment – I would like to make clear that "Definition of Done" and "Definition of Ready" are terms of art in Scrum.[3][4] Redirecting these terms to the disambiguation pages Done and Ready would not make much sense, in my opinion. Tea2min (talk) 20:21, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- I agree with Tea2min that these should redirect to content related to Scrum (if we have it) or to somewhere that disambiguates the terms of art used in scrum and terms of art used somewhere else (if there is such a somewhere else and we have content), with a hatnote (redirect) or link (dab page) pointing to Wiktionary for definitions. They should not point to the generic dab pages unless these terms are mentioned there (it is unlikely they should). Thryduulf (talk) 11:43, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

No mention of this particular crossbreed at the target article. There are a good number, but without any information about "Corgidors" in particular, I'm afraid this redirect will be of little use for people seeking information about them. Searching for corgis in general, this article does a great job, but for corgidors, Wikipedia has nothing to offer not just on this page, but there are no mentions of "Corgidors" anywhere on Wikipedia. Utopes (talk / cont) 05:06, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete/Redlink - Corgidors appear to be a potentially notable topic based of a very brief google search. If wikipedia currently has no information on them, then the redirect should be redlinked to encourage potential article creation. If said information is added to the Corgi article instead of making a new article, then the redirect can be recreated with a link to the proper location at that time.

I would have expected this sort of title to match targets with Communist block, although this particular one has been a redirect to urban planning related articles since 2005. To me though, with no mention of "commie block" or "communist block" at the article in question, I'm unsure if this is the most helpful target out there. Utopes (talk / cont) 04:59, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Retarget to Communist block - Principle of least surprise. I don't think anyone is going to use this term searching for urban planning... this is clearly just a casual shortening of communist to commie. Fieari (talk) 07:01, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

- Keep or Retarget to Khrushchevka: see wikt:commie block. Also see Khrushchevka#Present day. The term 'commie block' is used to refer to these sorts of blocks of flats built all across the Soviet Union as part of the overarching trends in urban planning in these countries. It is not used to refer to the overarching eastern bloc. 🔥HOTm̵̟͆e̷̜̓s̵̼̊s̸̜̃🔥 (talk・edits) 18:15, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- As a sidenote, it would make more sense to redirect to Khrushchevka - NOT Khrushchevka#Present day. I mentioned the Khrushchevka#Present day because that's where the colloquial term 'commie block' is mentioned. However, if someone wants to find out information about commie blocks, they'd expect to be sent to the article on them (Khrushchevka), not to the section about their contemporary reputation. 🔥HOTm̵̟͆e̷̜̓s̵̼̊s̸̜̃🔥 (talk・edits) 02:04, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Retarget to Khrushchevka#Present day as per HotMess, and add a hatnote to Communist block. Also, as a quick aside, said section has a link to Commieblock, which currently has the same target as Commie block. I would say bundle that redirect with this one, target it to Khrushchevka#Present day as per this one, and remove the circular link. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 21:36, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

No mention of "Comedy" at the target article, and no mention of "numbers". At the time of it's creation, this page was a redirect to McSweeney's Books, before crossing over to avoid a double redirect. I presume that the McSweeney's Books page cropped up again in the subsequent year, as it was alive and well with plenty of time to get hit by a Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/McSweeney's Books deletion closure, which I can't see anymore as the new page only has one edit worth of history. In any case, readers searching for this particular book will likely be disappointed with the page for the publisher, only to search to no avail for the book in question. Utopes (talk / cont) 04:55, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. Before deletion, McSweeney's Books was an article about an American publishing house that contained a large table of books the company published. Comedy by the Numbers was one book listed in that table, written by Eric Hoffman and Gary Rudoren, neither of whom have an article (although the former gets a dabmention at Eric Hoffman).

The word "fragment" is never mentioned at the target article. Came into existence as a carbon copy of an already existing piece of content, and then redirected back into the page that it copied content from. Without a definition, and/or a use of this term anywhere at the target, this redirect leaves readers much to be desired and without an answer to the question of "what is a coastal fragment and how is it related to the page I've been taken to that doesn't discuss coastal fragments". Utopes (talk / cont) 04:37, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. The first couple of pages of google hits all relate to the title of specific artworks, after that we do get into other uses but many are different copies of two things, a 1976 academic paper "Caracasbaai : a Submarine Slide of a Huge Coastal Fragment in Curaça" and A Month by the Sea, a 2013 book about the Gaza Strip, whose blurb includes the phrase "Through reported conversations she creates a vivid picture of life in this coastal fragment of self-governing Palestine.". Other uses all seem to be using it to mean just an isolated (in some manner) small area/length of coastline. Semi-enclaves and semi-exclaves are one example of this, but the term is much broader and so the current target is misleading. Thryduulf (talk) 11:27, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

That said, despite quite a few editors making their marks on this article, none ever actually dug up any sources. The page was BLAR'd without discussion in September 2023 by user:Vaticidalprophet, tagging it as an R from merge... except it wasn't a merge, as no information on Clinistrips ever ended up being added to Blood glucose monitoring. (user:Christian75 would later remove the R from merge tag and add R with history and R without mention.)It doesn't look like the tool you used to tag the redirect for RfD notified most of these editors.

Was created due to the existence of a wiktionary Wikt:cellarman page, but as this article has nothing to do with "person in charge of the alcoholic drinks", perhaps its more suitable to send this to the wiktionary page itself.

Delete. I can find no reason for the existence of this redirect. It has no incoming links, the article doesn't use this capitalisation, it's not how the logo is styled (nor, per [8] has ever been styled). It was created without a summary as the only edit the creator made that day (and they haven't edited since 2022). I've tried looking on Google, but as that's case insensitive it's of no help at all. Thryduulf (talk) 03:31, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- The logic behind this is presumably that the words starting with "I" and "E" were dropped from the expansion of the acronym. But at best that's an odd, original-research way of styling it that I doubt anyone uses, so Delete * Pppery * it has begun... 15:45, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

I can next-to-guarantee that this is not the best blond(e) joke ever, mainly because it would be present at the article, and it is not! Nothing about a "best joke ever" is at the target, which instead talks about the category of jokes as a whole, and not likely to be a plausible search term.

- Beam attack → Kirby: Planet Robobot (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
The word "beam" is not mentioned at the target article. Was tagged with "R from meme" during the page's February 2024 creation, but no indication of a meme is talked about at Kirby: Planet Robobot. Happens to be one letter off of Bear attack, but perhaps there's other targets? Or deletion, I think. Utopes (talk / cont) 02:59, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete as broad and ambiguous with no good target: the term "beam attack" is used by MANY different video games and works of scifi, animated, live action, or otherwise. I think it's likely too broad for even a disambiguation page. I suppose theoretically an article could be created about the concept of beam attacks as used in many, many works of fiction, but that's an even better reason to delete this redirect. Incidentally, I believe the meme in question, which is not and need not be mentioned anywhere on wikipedia as it really isn't notable, is an animated gif of Kirby eating a bunch of said beam attacks. Fieari (talk) 07:29, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Fieari is incorrect in that the meme is this. That said, they ARE correct in that'd there are about a billion different "beam attacks" in various different games, not all of them videogames (D&D comes to mind.) Not to mention the fact that this meme is not mentioned at the target. Send it to Redirect Heaven. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 08:57, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Unmentioned comic strip. The two people involved, "Bea" and "Ivy", are mentioned zero and one times at the target, respectively (Ivy's only being in passing). The character "Bea" is in reference to a sister of Dennis the Menace, and because this is split between Bea and Ivy the Terrible, this appears to be an WP:XY situation during the lack of a source for the comic strip in the history, and there isn't currently a target that discusses both characters to my understanding (only two incoming links are from Bea's article, and Ivy's article).

- Alley of Angels → War in Donbas (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This is a page that went to AfD twice. It was deleted in 2022 afd, recreated, and redirected very shortly after in 2023. Neither the word "alley", nor the word "angel" appears at the target article. There is nothing about this monument at the target (no mention of "monument"), and the phrase "Alley of Angels" appears nowhere on all of Wikipedia.
There is, however, a page called Angels' Alley, and an associated Angels' Alley (disambiguation) page. Both of these are much better options than an r without mention for a title with no clear or established in-article-relationship to the war it is pointed at. Utopes (talk / cont) 02:28, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

A more helpful redirect would be to History of Morocco. Morocco's heads of state are presently maliks, not sultans. asilvering (talk) 01:00, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Support. "Sultanate of Morocco" is very vague, so a general article like History of Morocco is the best bet. R Prazeres (talk) 01:16, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Retarget per nom --Lenticel (talk) 03:02, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Disambiguate: This is plausible search term for multiple subjects, including the Alawi dynasty and List of rulers of Morocco, which were at one time sultans. I say include History of Morocco as another listed item in such a disambiguation. ~ Pbritti (talk) 15:10, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Disambiguate per Pbritti, if the reader is searching for this term they are presumably not searching for modern Morocco, but it's open to what they would actually be searching for. CMD (talk) 07:15, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
