June 26

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on June 26, 2024.

MOS:TITLETYPOCON

I'm wondering if this discussion is significant enought to have its own redirect from main space to an archived project talk page. There are only a handful of these as you can see here and I think that they should be limited to ones that editors might commonly use. I doubt whether anyone but the redirect creator knows about this one. Liz Read! Talk! 18:31, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Petapixel

Aside from the "Petapixel redirects here", not mentioned in page. I can't find any discussion of the concept of a petapixel image to see if it should be mentioned in the page, search results are completely shadowed by PetaPixel. Possibly this should redirect there?

Comment peta- is an SI prefix. JoshuaAuble (talk) 19:15, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sydney Powell

Delete. "Sydney" is an unlikely misspelling for "Sidney". Sydney is a convicted murderer who is in the news now, and I suspect most people searching for "Sydney" are looking for the murderer, not the attorney. GA-RT-22 (talk) 18:00, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Horse with a horn

Delete as an ambiguous term. Other animals have been called "horse with horn(s)" e.g. a deer in [1] (which relates to a quote from the 2001 Austrian Grand Prix) and the fact that some horses have a horn like structure [2]. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:05, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't this literally a reverse of the "Unicorn without a horn > Horse" redirect we were discussing a while back? In any case, adding information on horses with horn-like structures to the Horse article (with a potential hatnote to Unicorn) could be a worthwhile endeavor, like how we added the Hornless Unicorn section to the Unicorn article.

I wasn't in that discussion, but does sound like it is a reverse of that. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:19, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Overly vague, not helpful for search. The search function can do its job here. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:36, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: This description is roughly mentioned at the target, and at a number of other reputable dictionaries:
  • Unicorn: In European literature and art, the unicorn has for the last thousand years or so been depicted as a white horse- or goat-like animal with a long straight horn...
  • Encyclopædia Britannica: Unicorn, mythological animal resembling a horse or a goat with a single horn on its forehead.
  • Oxford English Dictionary A fabulous and legendary animal usually regarded as having the body of a horse with a single horn projecting from its forehead...
  • Dictionary.com a mythical creature resembling a horse, with a single horn in the center of its forehead: often symbolic of chastity or purity.
  • Cambridge Dictionary an imaginary white creature like a horse with a single horn growing from the front of its head
  • Merriam-Webster a mythical, usually white animal generally depicted with the body and head of a horse with long flowing mane and tail and a single often spiraled horn in the middle of the forehead
  • Collins English Dictionary In stories and legends, a unicorn is an imaginary animal that looks like a white horse and has a horn growing from its forehead.
So, aside from the hundreds of examples online if you do any type of search for "horse with a horn", which lead to unicorns or memes or cosplays of horses with a horn being unicorns, I'd argue it's definitely the expected result and makes sense as a target.

  • Delete - No one is going to search for the term "horse with a horn". I was part of that other discussion which was relisted repeatedly and went on for two months until I spent two days looking for hornless unicorns to add a section for that redirect to land on—which was not a horse! My same arguments apply here: (1) no one is going to search for the term, (2) adding a horn to a horse does not make it a unicorn, and (3) there are no citations to support "horse with a horn = unicorn" nor a proper landing spot (the redirect itself represents original research). Other discussion was here: Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 June 8 § Hornless unicorn   ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 17:36, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Puddle thinking

Not mentioned anymore at the target page. Puddle thinking was merged to Fine-tuned universe in 2010 (diff), and the relevant content was removed in 2020 (diff). Tea2min (talk) 09:22, 26 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]

Woketard

While I am aware that WP:NPOV is less of a concern for redirects as they are less likely to face the general public directly, I do question the rationale for the existence of these redirects.

Surely anyone searching for woketard(s), will already need to type the word woke, and I am sure that any quote in an article that could possibly benefit from bluelinking woketard could surely just pipelink it.

I am not strongly of the mind that "These should not exist on Wikipedia", though I do feel as though they are needlessly inflammatory and likely unnecessary. The article for Woke does not mention Woketards anywhere including in the as a pejorative section.

Primarily, I am leaning towards deletion for these redirects, if consensus aligns with them being valid, I am not opposed to the target being narrowed down to the as a pejorative section. IceBergYYC (talk) 05:18, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2025 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix

WP:TOOSOON. Martintalk 02:20, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Amanda the Adventurer

Here is another redirect created for another non-notable video game which probably doesn't meet Wikipedia's GNG. It has 3 backlinks, all of which are just Draft content. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 02:13, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Quinton de Penis

No evidence this offensive nickname has actually been used to refer to this person. IMO an R3 but taking it to RfD instead per the creator's request. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:01, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, borderline G3, appears to have been created as a joke; implausible misnomer. I don't believe anyone with the surname de Kock has had it rendered as penis in any reliable source. Page creator has claimed without evidence that this is a valid mistranslation, despite the fact that none of the common machine translation services produce this rendering. The additional community scrutiny this will now garner will likely make them regret requesting an RFD, but some people just can't take a hint. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:AD5A:8B6:5AD6:C4BE (talk) 02:28, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a G3 - the G3 criterion is based on the mind of the creator. If it was their intent to harm Wikipedia, then it's vandalism and can be speedied as such. If it was their intent to help Wikipedia, even if you consider their actions misguided, then it's WP:NOTVANDALISM and not a G3 case. R3 is based (in theory) on an objective evaluation of the plausibility of the redirect rather than reading the creator's mind, so I think it does apply, but when I saw this at CAT:CSD I was willing to honor the creator's request to discuss it first. * Pppery * it has begun... 04:03, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A good deal of vandalism consists of jokes of various kinds, however juvenile, which I imagine in the minds of the jokers constitute improvements, or "help" if you will given they probably percieve Wikipedia as dull, staid, and in need of enlivenment. In this case the edit summary on creation here gives away the game with regard to the creator's mindset, and perhaps a certain demographic does indeed find this amusing, but as I said borderline.
I actually prefer RFD to speedy as it creates clearer consensus and is better in every way except volume management especially in creating clearer consensus. But when the community has designated certain pages for a flow that maximizes volume management that procedure should be followed unless there is a valid reason not to. And for speedy deletion the community has decided that bare objections by page creators don't count. But sometimes a third party will intervene and then there is a valid reason; happened a few times when I was doing the initial X3 runs earlier and IMO helped solidify community consensus in favor of X3, but it would have been improper to start those without valid reason, needed someone else object first. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:886A:FBAE:31BA:5FC9 (talk) 04:23, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I Am Fish

A redirect created for the sake of a non-notable video game that does not have its own article. This following redirect has three backlinks though, which are:

Curve Games (the publisher of I Am Fish). List of Xbox One games. List of Xbox Series X and Series S games. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 02:01, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that the game is non-notable is completely irrelevant. This is still a valid redirect, and readers searching for this game will surely find it helpful. CycloneYoris talk! 05:29, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
