July 27

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on July 27, 2014.

"Weird Al" Yankovicn

Delete per previous discussions (2013 November 20 and 2013 December 4) as recently-created redirects to implausible machine-generated typos. Gorobay (talk) 15:15, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Assburgers

An editor posted to Talk:Asperger syndrome#Assburgers redirects here that the redirect is offensive, and ensuing discussion indicated that a wider audience would be useful. I have mixed feelings on this one, so this is a purely procedural nomination. - 2/0 (cont.) 14:14, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In the original discussion, it was mentioned that the Australian pronunciation is different. Speaking as an American, "ass burgers" and "Asperger's" sound exactly the same to me. Muffinator (talk) 18:49, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It should also be noted that both Assburger's syndrome and Assburger were kept prevously at a join RFD Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2007 January 23. and Assburger was kept a second time at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2011 March 11.--67.68.162.111 (talk) 21:20, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Rock

I propose re-targeting to Dwayne Johnson, professional wrestler and actor also popularly known by his ring name The Rock. From the page view statistics, Out of all the pages which could refer to "the Rock" (including anything called the Rocks), Dwayne Johnson has had 66.98% of the views in the last 90 days (more than 2/3!) and is ranked 369 in traffic on en.wiki. I did a similar count in 2013 where the percentage was 78.5%. Current stats below. starship.paint ~ regal 13:37, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Open for the Stats

Dwayne Johnson has been viewed 1862928 times in the last 90 days. From the Rock disambiguation page, other uses of "The Rock" in the last 90 days. Total of everything else is 918365. Total of all "The Rock": 2781293. Dwayne Johnson takes up 66.98%.

Tagging Niceguyedc, Flyer22 and creator Ed Poor. Also, comment on Part I of the proposal below.

Also, Part II of the proposal. Move all other "the Rock" or "the Rocks" to The Rock (disambiguation). starship.paint ~ regal 13:37, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support: Dwayne Johnson is clearly the most common use of "The Rock", although with so many other things using the name, Dwayne Johnson article should have a hatnote mentioning the redirect and linking to the disambiguation page. Muffinator (talk) 19:02, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Membrane Theory

Deletion. According to a discussion I have recently had with Polytope24 "membrane theory" is not an accurate alternative term for "M theory" and should not redirect to it. I do not know that there is any other topic to which it should redirect, therefore it appears a deletion may be the best alternative. KDS4444Talk 10:14, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
