this is a wrong redirect. The article this points to is not yet made, so it should be a red link Huldra (talk) 21:18, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Reliable sources

[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 move back to Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Reasonable arguments have been made, and there has been no opposition. As a matter of procedure, it's going to take me a minute to get everything cleaned up and moved, so please let me deal with it to avoid edit/move conflicts.(done) Primefac (talk) 14:44, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

After about 9 years after the page formerly at this title was moved to Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, I think it is time to discuss this redirect. The issue with this redirect is that it has several subpages that are not directly related to the content at its target: Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard and its subpages, most archives. The reason the current setup is a bit problematic is for navigational purposes. Subpages have a functionality where if its parent page exists, a link to its parent page(s) will appear in the corner of the screen. Well, if a reader starts at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard and clicks on the link for Wikipedia:Reliable sources, they get forwarded to its current target with no clean way to click on a link to return to where they came from. Another issue that has the potential to arise is if somehow the content at Wikipedia:Reliable sources (regardless of what is there, redirect or a page) gets moved with its subpages, then there might be some sort of mismatch. I had considered moving Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources and its subpages back to Wikipedia:Reliable sources WP:BOLD-ly to remove the unprecedented oddness and technical problems for such a prominent page (Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard) to have a parent page that is a redirect, but then besides Wikipedia:Reliable sources being move-protected (I’m a non-admin, so this prevents me from performing a "round-robin move of the pages), after giving it some thought, performing such a move is definitely controversial. So, here are my thoughts on options of what can be done with the redirect to resolve these technical oddities:

  1. Convert Wikipedia:Reliable sources into a landing page/disambiguation page/broad-concept page that includes links to Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard, and other applicable page links (my 2nd preferred option)
  2. Move Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (and its subpages) back to Wikipedia:Reliable sources (and applicable titles for subpages) in order to fix the parent page/subpage breaks (preferred option)
  3. Move all of the subpages of "Wikipedia:Reliable sources" to subpages of "Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources" to fix parent page/subpage break (least preferred option since it has the potential to break a lot)

I have reverted, users of this redirect need to be aware of this discussion. -- Tavix (talk) 02:50, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) @Billinghurst: The deletion policy requires a notice be posted on pages currently undergoing a deletion discussion. This includes redirects, which are temporarily turned into soft redirects for the duration of the discussion. This is how we have always done things, and every other redirect currently listed at RFD follows this guideline. Nathan2055talk - contribs 02:54, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Speedy delete per criterion G7 by Anthony Appleyard. Steel1943 (talk) 00:32, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect should be deleted--the Blériot XIV, unlike the Blériot XXIV, had no relationship with the XIII. Eventually the Blériot XIV deserves a proper article, but until then a redlink would be preferable to a misleading redirect. Colin Douglas Howell (talk) 18:16, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Atlantic slave trade. Rough consensus that a redirect to Atlantic slave trade is preferable to deletion. (non-admin closure) feminist (talk) 04:28, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary use of pejorative language for people of colour. It's extremely unlikely that anyone will search for this term, and that's reflected in the fact that this title was first created in only this week by an editor just banned for racist activism on Wikipedia. The fact that it's since been retargeted is not an argument in favour of keeping it. Guy (Help!) 10:44, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment See also User_talk:JzG#Negro_slave(s) on some of the history behind the recreated link. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 18:29, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep per the comments at user talk:JzG#Negro slave(s). It is a plausible search term, and while the current target is not a perfect fit it's significantly closer than anything else I've been able to find. Thryduulf (talk) 12:02, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Whether it is kept or not, the target seems poor, it should redirect to Atlantic slave trade: Eng. negro; Ptgs. negro; Sp. negro; Fr. nègre; Dtch. neger - that pretty much covers the transatlantic traders. Alanscottwalker (talk) 14:26, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I don't think it's necessarily an implausible term, even though it's dated language which may be seen as offensive now, simply because someone might see the phrase in some historical book and not know what it means. However we don't have a clear target to point the reader to, as there isn't a general article about slavery of people of African origin. Atlantic slave trade covers the transport of slaves from Africa to the Americas, but what happened to them and their descendants afterwards is out of scope. Slavery in the United States is only about the use of African slaves in one particular region, it doesn't cover the Caribbean, South America, etc. I can't see any obviously better target except maybe Slavery, and that seems a bit unnecessary for a redirect. Hut 8.5 20:39, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget both to Atlantic slave trade where :black slave(s) target. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 20:48, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I agree with Hut 8.5 that there are several plausible subjects one could direct this title to and given the baggage of this term, it's better to delete it. And please no one cry censorship! There is no way we would have pejorative redirects using slang for women, ethnic minorities and Jewish people. This is an English Wikipedia and so we have to be conscientious of how the word is used in English, not Spanish and Portuguese. In present day, people only use "Negro" if they are trying to be archaic or offensive since the common terms are "black" or "African-American", not "Negro". Liz Read! Talk! 05:18, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • There is no way we would have pejorative redirects using slang for women, ethnic minorities and Jewish people. Completely wrong I'm afraid - we have articles and redirects for many such terms Slut, Pikey, Kike, Nigger, Yid, Paki (slur), etc, etc. If the words are likely search terms we do and should have redirects to the content we have about them - see WP:RNEUTRAL. People look things up on Wikipedia that they read in old documents, etc, not just what they hear in contemporary usage. Indeed if a term has fallen out of use then it is even more likely people will look it up to understand what was meant. Thryduulf (talk) 20:12, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Lace (disambiguation). There is clear consensus to redirect, but a toss-up as to where Laces should point to. The viewpoints presented are that it should be redirected to either Shoelaces or Lace (disambiguation), with one user being indifferent. Based on the arguments presented, I have come to the conclusion that there is adequate consensus to retarget Laces to Lace (disambiguation). Given the redirect's general nature, it is best to keep it general. TheSandDoctor Talk 01:29, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Current target is inadequate. Lace, Lace (disambiguation) or even Shoelaces would make more sense. Pointing to the singular term would be the best option. —Xezbeth (talk) 11:39, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Totally unnecessary for a secondary character because there is already a Him (The Powerpuff Girls) redirect. Paper Luigi TC 03:47, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't care what you do with it, I made the redirect a long time ago. Besides this website isn't the right place to find information about that character anyway. The powerpuff girls wiki is, so it's best that they find that place instead. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 22:12, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. TheSandDoctor Talk 01:19, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary redirect. "Powderpuff" is a term used with regards to female American football in school. Though the series has alluded to this, the title has never been "Powderpuff Girls". Paper Luigi TC 03:17, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The similarity between the names means that people have probably mistaken the name of the TV show, thinking that it's "Powderpuff". Powderpuff (sports) is not a good target, since anyone aware of powderpuff will know it's a girls' game: no reason to type girls at the end. Someone who types the full phrase, therefore, is likely looking for the TV show and merely mistyped or misremembered the name of the show. Nyttend (talk) 05:14, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete since this seems to be the name of a potentially-notable beauty and cosmetics company in London. Steel1943 (talk) 15:02, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
