This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on June 18, 2024.

Brexit means breakfast

Not mentioned in target (was mentioned in a citation which I have recently removed, but not article text) GnocchiFan (talk) 22:50, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure why a redirect needs to explicitly be referenced in the target? Deku-shrub (talk) 09:01, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because otherwise we would have hundreds of malapropisms redirect to this target, with no indication of notability. GnocchiFan (talk) 12:03, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep without requirement of mention at target. Or... more clearly, Refine to no subsection. To answer Gnocchi's concern about hundreds of malapropisms, no need-- it shouldn't open any floodgates, as this one is in fact attested. Anyone searching this phrase is clearly coming from the news article about it. The fact that it redirects to Malapropism will be all it takes to explain what the news article is talking about... someone made a silly error of speech. Thus the user is informed and can move on with their day. No need for a mention, as the article would not be enriched by the inclusion... the mere existence of the redirect should be enough to convey what needs to be conveyed. Fieari (talk) 05:44, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Furiosa Road

Not sure how plausible this search term is but if kept, would Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga be a more appropriate target? मल्ल (talk) 22:39, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as is I take you you didn't watch "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga", since that isn't a road movie. "Mad Max: Fury Road" is a road movie. "Furiosa Road" was a common nickname for the film when it was released. [1][2][3][4][5] -- so is a good search term. -- 64.229.90.32 (talk) 04:08, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Leaf forest

i think most forests have leaves, i don't see what makes this one special. leaf forest is not mentioned in the target, and the lowercase f suggests any random forest with leaves cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 19:55, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

should note that while "leaf forest zone" would narrow it down considerably, it would also be wrong, as it's not referred to as a zone in the game cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 20:00, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Marine the Raccoon(character)

malformed cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 19:49, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sonic E3

"sonic ds" was a working title for sonic rush. "sonic e3" was not. more than one sonic game has been shown at e3 since 2005, so rush might not be the primary target cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 19:47, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Something Forgotten Wished by the World

the title of an official album, apparently. not mentioned in the target outside of sources that happen to have the name in the title. delete, or see if a mention can be added? cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 19:27, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

風のクロノア

that's the japanese name for the franchise, with this redirect missing the subtitle associated with this specific game. redirect to klonoa, or leave as is? cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 19:23, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of Klonoa vilians

implausible misspelling cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 19:18, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A unlikely misspelling in a long title for a non-notable topic. This helps zero readers. Ca talk to me! 11:42, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of Klonoa villains

left as a redirect because there weren't any sources that could warrant a list for individual klonoa characters, and i still haven't found anything noteworthy about any single character (not even klonoa himself) cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 19:16, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Heather McMahan

WP:RETURNTORED. Her only connection to celebrity jeopardy is that she appeared as a contestant during one tournament. I mean just based on the premise of the show, you have to be more notable for something else than for simply being on the show.  Bait30  Talk 2 me pls? 18:56, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Trademark Law Treaty

Those are two different treaties. The redirection creates confusion. I suggest deletion of the redirection Anthere (talk) 18:00, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kahru

article about Iran village (not a city like said!) called Gahru even doesn't mention "Kahru". And Kahru to be reserved to Estonian village Kahru, Rõuge Parish Estopedist1 (talk) 15:14, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget according to nom. None of the Romanization of Persian mixes up the letters <k> and <g> for the same sound. Ca talk to me! 11:50, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Any comment on Gohord's plausibility? If it's not plausible, I'd say to move Kahru, Rõuge Parish to Kahru; if it is plausible, I'd create a DAB over the redirect. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 00:42, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Valinor Hills Station

There's no indication that this is referred to as a "station", either officially or unofficially, by anyone. I'm not sure whether or not a plain "Valinor Hills" redirect would be more suitable. It doesn't seem very useful, but it would make more sense at least. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 14:03, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - As OA of the Valinor Hills Station WP:Redirect - this Redirect was made to support the listing of the final location of the Mars Ingenuity (helicopter) on the planet Mars as indicated at Ingenuity (helicopter)#End of mission, and on the "Mars Memorial Sites" template ({{Features and memorials on Mars}}) (and see below) - in any case - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Drbogdan (talk) 14:30, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Note -- I removed the (unsigned) template transclusion as clutter; anyone can click on the link themselves to see it. I know MOS:OL is about article content and not talk pages, but holy crap, please take it to heart, because it's really hard to find the one important link among your sea of useless ones (why in the world did you feel the need to link "wp:redirect"? Please put some thought into what you write). More to the point, none of what you said addresses my concern that "Station" specifically is unwarranted. If someone added it inappropriately to a template, the proper course would be to remove it from the template, not to add an erroneous redirect. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 14:49, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Internet Phone Operating System

Listing this separately from #Apple Internet Phone Operating System as beside similar issues with this being an unlikely search term, lacking a specific brand makes it more likely to cause confusion. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 12:20, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No clear target. The creator may have been under the impression that the "i" in iPhone is short for "internet", which it isn't - and from searching it doesn't look like this is a common mistake. Could arguably be retargeted to Mobile operating system, but that article isn't strictly related to the internet - there are mobile operating systems that don't have internet connectivity. BugGhost🪲👻 13:36, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Our article on iPhone says According to Jobs in 1998, the "i" word in "iMac" (and thereafter "iPod", "iPhone" and "iPad") stands for internet, individual, instruct, inform, and inspire. Regardless, I agree with nom and everyone that the current redirect target is incorrect. External searches refer to specific patents, and unless Mobile operating system has mention of the exact term, Delete. Jay 💬 12:43, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects to an article where there is no mention of him. Lost in Quebec (talk) 10:28, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He was mentioned on there, until that was removed. He should be mentioned, considering that he received wide coverage in connection with his father's retirement in 2016. This was not incidental naming, but news articles directly about Drake LaRoche.

Chhota Bheem 1

The redirects doesn't make any sense. M S Hassan (talk) 07:38, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@M S Hassan: I made these redirects (when I was going through the list of Indian film series), as a chronological search aid for theatrical films in order of release for the series.
These, 1 and 5, should be targetted to the relevant articles (for the 2012 and 2024 film) respectively. Cheers. Gotitbro (talk) 08:54, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 Sonsio Grand Prix at the Indiapolis Motor Speedway

Delete - Unplausible search target/cleanup after target article was initially created here (due to a newer editor being unaware they could overwrite the old redirect at the target). ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk)  03:55, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Accurate and harmless, deletion wouldn't bring any benefits. Thryduulf (talk) 15:32, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. "Indiapolis" is such an unlikely misspelling of Indianapolis that those who know linguistics could potentially believe "Indiapolis" is a city in India. (To add to this, seems the only valid use of "Indiapolis" on Wikipedia is for a subject named "Indiapolis, Indiana: American Trust Publications" in some references, but in that case, based on where the instances of this phrase are located on Wikipedia, seems the title has intentional affinity to India, but I could be completely wrong on that and those uses of "Indiapolis" could be misspelled as well; apparently, an entity named "American Trust Publications" is/was based out of Chicago, which is rather geographically close to Indianapolis.)

Factory owner

Comparing the current target of this redirect, the former targets Bourgeoisie and Means of production, and Factory which doesn't seem to mention "owner(s)" ... it does not seem that there is a specific article readers may be attempting to locate when searching this phrase.

Delete I doubt readers are using "factory owner" to search up "business magnate". It is not a set phrase that means something other than the sum of its parts. Business magnate does not have any info about factories. It is too vague to be useful. Ca talk to me! 09:03, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

㌽

Why would the English Wikipedia redirect to non-English Wiktionary entries? Fram (talk) 10:27, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Eh? The target is an English Wiktionary entry. Thryduulf (talk) 11:00, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wiktionary entries for non-English words or terms. Wiktionary starts with the languages an entry is in (the heading), and the only such heading here is "Japanese". For comparison, the entry for "bread"[6] has headings "English", "Middle English", "Old English", and "Spanish", so that is an English Wiktionary entry. Fram (talk) 11:08, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Because English Wiktionary explains in English the meaning of the Japanese word that forms the character. I don't know that there is any exact meaning of point (disambiguation) that is represented by ㌽, so I leave the readers to find out what works in their case. --Error (talk) 11:55, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But why would we have redirects to explain words in other languages? We could add millions of redirects if we do this, for every word in every language. Fram (talk) 12:04, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. We have articles and redirects for characters (not words), because people want to know what they mean and look them up in Wikipedia. In this case the English Wiktionary entry is better than anything we have locally, so the soft redirect is the most helpful to readers. Thryduulf (talk) 12:25, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why would we allow redirects for foreign-language characters because people want to know what they mean, but not for words because people want to know what they mean? What makes characters so special? Fram (talk) 12:31, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because characters and words are not the same thing. The reason we don't have redirects for foreign words is expressed best at WP:RFOREIGN, those considerations don't occur for single characters. Thryduulf (talk) 12:47, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's a non-answer if ever I saw one. Why A and not B? "A and B are not the same, and here we explain why not B". Well yes, but you argue to keep A, and don't give a reason why the arguments would be different. Further, the page you list to is about internal redirects, not about redirects to Wiktionary or the like. You also claim that "those considerations don't occur for single characters", but most of the arguments in the "Rationale" section of that page apply just as well to single characters. Fram (talk) 12:56, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To editor Fram:: Is your objection to redirects to Wiktionary, redirects from non-Latin characters or redirects from CJK characters? --Error (talk) 14:24, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirects from characters, words, ... not in use in English and without an article here. Fram (talk) 14:33, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
is there a reason the target is a search, and not the thing that would be searched? if not, retarget to wikt:㌽. otherwise, keep cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 20:47, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's how interwiki soft redirects work (my guess is that it's so that you get search results rather than an error if the target page doesn't exist, but you get taken to the page if it does) so your suggested retarget is the current target. Thryduulf (talk) 21:04, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please wait before you create more similar redirects. You have now added ㍀ and ㍁, but if this one gets created, then adding more of the same onbly creates more work afterwards. Fram (talk) 12:16, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment There are tens of thousands of Han characters/Kanji. Is the plan to redirect all of them (or at least the reasonably common ones) to Wiktionary entries? What about characters in other scripts, or words in other languages? I actually agree that there is some value to a reader, however if you search for a Han character (arbitrary example) on Wikipedia, the corresponding Wiktionary entry will already appear in the search results on the side under the heading "Word definitions from Wiktionary". If the desire is to make the link to Wiktionary more prominent, that could be done much more efficiently with a few lines of CSS or JS instead of creating thousands of redirect entries. Just my 2¢. 98.170.164.88 (talk) 14:58, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I realize that the entry above is not Kanji but rather a "square katakana" symbol, of which Unicode has only ~100, but I think the general reasoning may still apply. 98.170.164.88 (talk) 15:49, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are some kanji categorized as Category:Kanji, Category:Kyōiku kanji. I think that Category:Simplified Chinese radicals‎ and Category:Kangxi radicals list most of the radicals. There are few redirects there, either because they don't exist or they are not categorized. Category:Specific_kana lists all of them, it seems. Picking one at random, ra has seven redirects from specific Unicode characters, all of them seem reasonable to me. --Error (talk) 16:46, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is a Unicode 'codepoint', but it is not in any normal sense a "character"; in fact it is plainly a word - ポイント - consisting of four characters. These "block" things are a legacy typographical kludge, not a normal part of the Japanese writing system. Imaginatorium (talk) 04:00, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Wiktionary explains what this character is and how it is used, and it does so in English. We have the information, we should point to it. Fieari (talk) 02:50, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strictly speaking this is not true: Wiktionary does not describe this "character" (it isn't a character), nor how it is used. For example it does not mention that in vertical writing (where I suspect such use may be more common) the four elements of the character-space, written l-r, t-b, would be ン　ポ　ト　イ (because actually they would have to be written t-b, r-l). In other words the actual appearance shown in the Unicode CJK compatibility box is not necessarily how the "character" would appear in actual use. And there is no obvious evidence of this "character" actually being in use [as opposed to "mention"] in an Internet search. If there is an established principle that WP does not provide links to Wikt for just any foreign word, the argument for needing a redirect for non-standard representations of such words strikes me as infinitely weak. Imaginatorium (talk) 05:07, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to CJK Compatibility for the reasons Imaginatorium brings up. Opposed to deletion however since the character is covered in the English WP. Nickps (talk) 16:01, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by "covered". Is the J word ポイント "covered"? Actually I think that of course it is (just about) acceptable to describe (non-)characters like this in an article about obscure features of Unicode, but it is also OK to have an article on the Hungarian language - but this does not mean that just any Hungarian word should redirect to it. And yes, this (non-)character appears on web pages, but I can only find it on dictionary and similar pages, where it is often just some sort of redirect. Challenge: can you find a single use of this (non-)character in use in a document on the Web? Imaginatorium (talk) 16:14, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    "Covered" means that the character U+333D ㌽ SQUARE POINTO is explained in CJK Compatibility. CJK Compatibility is a Unicode block containing square symbols (both CJK and Latin alphanumeric) encoded for compatibility with East Asian character sets. Therefore, someone who searched for "㌽" now knows why it exists. That's a helpful redirect. Your argument would make sense if the nominated redirect was ポイント, but it's not. It is entirely possible that someone who puts "㌽" in the search box actually wants to know about the Unicode character itself and not about the Japanese word wikt:ポイント.
    PS: Noncharacter has a specific meaning as far as Unicode is concerned. U+333D is not a "noncharacter". Nickps (talk) 16:33, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to CJK Compatibility per Nickps and other discussions on Unicode symbols. CJK Compatibility also helpfully links the character to the Wictionary entry in case a user needs further clarification on what the symbol means. ― Synpath 03:29, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to CJK Compatibility#Block, which seems to be the best of choices more preferable than the current target. Whether or not every such character should have such a redirect is a larger question to be addressed elsewhere (if it has been, I am unaware). — Godsy (TALKCONT) 20:28, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Search considers ㌽ and ポイント to be interchangeable. Therefore, currently Special:Search/ポイント leads to ㌽. Therefore, I propose that if this RfD closes as retarget per my !vote, regular ポイント is created as a crosswiki to wiktionary:Special:Search/ポイント. I consider this a case of WP:SMALLDETAILS. Nickps (talk) 11:12, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    But this seems to show up the absurdity of this whole mess. If ポイント should have a redirect, surely every other Japanese word should also have a redirect? じゃないの? Imaginatorium (talk) 11:22, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    surely every other Japanese word should also have a redirect. Not really, only the ones that have associated Unicode characters. The redirects from individual Unicode characters are useful. Apart from what I've already said above, consider {{unichar}} which links to the character page if an empty |nlink= parameter is passed to it. U+333D ㌽ SQUARE POINTO works fine right now. Why break it? On the other hand, yes, keeping the redirect creates a pretty astonishing result for anyone who searches regular ポイント. But we don't need to delete to fix that; creating ポイント also works. I think the usefulness of the ㌽ redirect is enough to warrant the WP:RFOREIGN exception I'm asking for here. Nickps (talk) 12:25, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You say the "usefulness" of the ㌽ redirect. Can you describe a plausible scenario in which a non-Japanese-speaking user could have this Unicode value "in their hand " so to speak, in order to paste it into the WP search box? Unless of course they got it from a dictionary/Unicode site, and already know what it is? Can you cite a single instance of this Unicode value in a document on the net? And please avoid using the term "Unicode character" to describe something which is not a character. Imaginatorium (talk) 03:53, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't really need to accommodate your nonstandard definition of "character". A Unicode compatibility character is still a Unicode character. Can you describe a plausible scenario in which a non-Japanese-speaking user could have this Unicode value "in their hand " so to speak, in order to paste it into the WP search box? This Wikipedia is made for English speakers not "non-Japansese" speakers. Some of these English speakers who understand Japanese at some level but still prefer to use enwiki may end up on e.g. [7] or [8] and then search the character. Nickps (talk) 04:33, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Why would you be fluent enough to end up at [chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.city.iwaki.lg.jp/www/contents/1522805848362/simple/shouhinn.pdf your first example], but then rely on English Wikipedia to explain this to you, instead of Japanese Wikipedia? Why would you expect Enwiki to explain everything about every language? Fram (talk) 07:51, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Epsilon Eridani c

Target section does not mention Epsilon Eridani c. Also, the former section named "Planet c" was removed from the target article in Special:Diff/1154409029 (as shown in the "Broken anchors" note at Talk:List of nearest stars). GTrang (talk) 13:51, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Papa Emeritus 2

Relisting comment: Keep or retarget?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Thryduulf (talk) 10:00, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is that both targets (Tobias Forge#Ghost, which is what this should be refined to if Kept, and Ghost (Swedish band)#Papa Emeritus) discuss Tobias's role as the Papa Emeritus character in *all* incarnations of the character-- Papa Emeritus I, II, III, 0, and IV. That said, I'm leaning towards Refine for this specific redirect; the incarnation Papa Emeritus II does get a little more discussion in Tobias's article compared to Ghost's article.
Either way, I do think the two sections need to be hatnoted together-- they talk about the same thing, so they should get a "See also" connecting them. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 11:44, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Botswanan

It should redirect to Motswana. Not sure why this got reverted, the authority is wikitionary or however you spell it. Botswanan is not a proper word. [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] OK I think I’ve made my point. 48JCL 01:54, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

LGBT in Russia

Shouldn't it target to a specific page and then use a template to indicate "For other uses, see LGBT in Russia (disambiguation)"? Also, this disambiguation feels strange to me, LGBT in Brazil points to LGBT rights in Brazil. LGBT in the United States points to LGBT people in the United States, but we don't have a LGBT people in Russia. So retarget to LGBT rights in Russia? If the target is kept, we should start disambiguating countries that have history, rights, people, and culture with "LGBT in [country]". --MikutoH talk! 00:58, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Well if a broad-concept article is to be written it could be done so otherwise per WP:MALPLACED the DAB should be moved back to the base name. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:11, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move LGBT in Russia (disambiguation) back to the base title. Personally, I find "LGBT in [place]" awkward and ungrammatical, but this discussion is about this redirect in particular. I checked a few other "LGBT in [place]" to see how we treat them, and did not find a clear pattern.
  1. LGBT in Chile is an article about LGBT topics generally, with a hatnote to LGBT rights in Chile.
