December 7
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on December 7, 2016.
Bear versus bull (Reality)
- Bear versus bull (Reality) → Bear-baiting (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Unlikely search term. Target article does not involve bulls fighting against bears. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bear versus bull. Sandstein 13:19, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
Natalie Imbruglia: The Collection
- Natalie Imbruglia: The Collection → Natalie Imbruglia (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Album is not mentioned in target. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:51, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 10:08, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
Ukr
- Ukr → Ukrainian language (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- UKR → Ukraine (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not sure is a plausible abbreviation, support dabifying by all means if other usages can be found. Couldn't find other abbreviation, just delete for these two redirects don't conform to one another. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:44, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Keep both. UKR is the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code for the country (these codes appear to be in capitals), and ukr is the ISO 639-3 code for the language (and these are always in lower case). – Uanfala (talk) 09:51, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Keep per Uanfala. Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 10:11, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
Torn Music Video
- Torn Music Video → Torn (Ednaswap song) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Ambiguous, as seen by the dab page Torn, there are multiple songs, retargeting to the dab will just make it harder for search results link directly to the section that is appropriate. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:34, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
User talk:Aliaume Damala Badara Akon Thiam
- User talk:Aliaume Damala Badara Akon Thiam → Windows 7 (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Inappropriate CNR. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:28, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
LH Server
Not sure what this means, anyway, does not seem to be a valid synonym. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:24, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- @Champion: The original edit summary says it's an abbreviation for longhorn server. A Google search suggests no evidence of this being used as a synonym for longhorn server, though, and it has no pageviews in the past 90 days, so I would say
Delete. Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 10:16, 7 December 2016 (UTC)- A Google search gives me 2 hits on the first page and
34 on the second where "LH server" is used for "Longhorn server", so it's not unheard of. I originally created the redirect because I had to look it up once when it was mentioned on some kind of forum where I was looking for documentation. In my view, Wikipedia is exactly the right place to look up the meaning of this kind of semi-obscure terms. And as long as they aren't incorrect (and this one isn't), redirects don't harm or stand in the way for anyone. – gpvos (talk) 10:35, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- A Google search gives me 2 hits on the first page and
- Keep per Gpvos as the synonym is used. Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 13:21, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
Server 2003
- Server 2003 → Windows Server 2003 (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
WP:XY, also a PTM for Exchange Server 2003. Delete. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:23, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 10:18, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
Windows XP server
- Windows XP server → Windows XP (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
No such thing, perhaps retarget to Windows Server 2003 as {{R from incorrect name}} but not sure if it is super plausible. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:19, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as misleading, as this server does not exist. Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 10:17, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
Low-cost Windows
- Low-cost Windows → Microsoft Windows (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I don't know what this is supposed to refer to, but it seems more likely to refer to windows than the operating system, delete nevertheless, vague search term. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:16, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
Flying Windows
- Flying Windows → Microsoft Windows (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Term not mentioned in target. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:12, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Isn't this a screensaver for, I think, Windows 3.1? Whether that's useful to have, I don't know. (We have Flying toasters). Searching the Interweb for "Flying windows.scr" tends to indicate that it is/was, and has been retrofitted by various third parties to Win8/10, but how much use that is to Wikipedia I don't know. Si Trew (talk) 07:11, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- @SimonTrew: I remember XP did have like a Windows flag screensaver that folded, I don't have access to an XP PC or a virtual machine, not sure if it is notable for a separate article though. My personal favourite would have to be the Maze one in Win98/2k. But your typical Linux distro has literally hundreds more than any Windows OS, such as the flying GNOME feet etc. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 07:20, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Comment see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Flying_Windows. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 10:24, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
Wind OS
Not plausible, there is a non-notable operating system by this name. The closest target I could find was Wind River Systems but I still support deletion. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:11, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as WP:XY. I would have thought of Wind River Systems' VxWorks product first, actually. Si Trew (talk) 07:15, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
Tied together
Surely this isn't the primary meaning of "tied together." -- Tavix (talk) 03:46, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as WP:XYZ. Could refer to many kinds of bondage. Si Trew (talk) 04:06, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
List of earthquakes in 2018
- List of earthquakes in 2018 → Lists of earthquakes (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- List of earthquakes in 2019 → Lists of earthquakes (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- List of earthquakes in 2020 → Lists of earthquakes (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Lists of earthquakes in 2018 → Lists of earthquakes (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Lists of earthquakes in 2019 → Lists of earthquakes (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Lists of earthquakes in 2020 → Lists of earthquakes (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Delete per WP:TOOSOON. Page can be recreated when we have information about earthquakes in these years. -- Tavix (talk) 03:32, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Delete all WP:CRYSTAL. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 09:30, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
Psychic tears
Delete, due to the fact that this term isn't described at the target article. -- Tavix (talk) 03:29, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
Contain (disambiguation)
- Contain (disambiguation) → Contain (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Target is a soft redirect to Wiktionary that has several "see also" entries on it. This page has "(disambiguation)" in the title, and the target is not a disambiguation page, so this should be deleted to leave the search engine free to find the page. Speedy declined. — Gorthian (talk) 03:09, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
Conelrad (disambiguation)
- Conelrad (disambiguation) → CONELRAD (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
A redirect with "(disambiguation)" in its title that no longer targets a dab page; it needs to be deleted as housekeeping. Speedy was declined. — Gorthian (talk) 03:03, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
Google Browser
- Google Browser → Google Chrome (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Ambiguous, it could refer to the default browser on Android, which is just called "Browser" but not sure if we have an article on that. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 05:58, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
- On recent versions of Android, the default Browser gets updated to Google Chrome for Android. So I think the current target is the best we can do. Unenthusiastic keep. Deryck C. 10:48, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
- Keep and hatnote to section/a new anchor at List_of_features_in_Android#General, where Android Browser goes. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 15:36, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Google Space
- Google Space → Google (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Google Design → Google (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Google EnergySense → Google (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Google Research → Google (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Google Measure Map → Google (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Site Flavored Google Search Box → Google (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Gaia (Security Technology) → Google (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I doubt the actual existence of some of these, but they may be plausible and a target may be able to be found for them. If such products actually exist, that is, but redirecting to Google is certainly no help. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 03:47, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
- Update I'd at least retarget Google Space to Spaces (app), which is where Google Spaces points to. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 04:24, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
- Agreed about Spaces. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:44, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - The second, third, and fourth exist or have existed (i.e. Google Design, Google Shutting Down its EnergySense Home Management Service, and Research at Google respectively), but I couldn't find a good target for them.— Godsy (TALKCONT) 20:36, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Communist Party of Nepal (disambiguation)
- Communist Party of Nepal (disambiguation) → List of communist parties in Nepal (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Speedy was declined, so I bring this here. This page used to be a dab page, until it was moved to List of communist parties in Nepal as a result of a RM. That was over three years ago. Now, with "(disambiguation)" in its title and no dab page to target, it needs to be deleted. — Gorthian (talk) 02:59, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as nominated. The target is an article (a list article), and articles shouldn't be targets of (disambiguation) redirects. -- JHunterJ (talk)
Hozho
- Hozho → Beauty (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Hozhó → Beauty (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Hózhó → Beauty (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Hózhǫ́ → Beauty (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not related to whatever language this is. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 02:06, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
- The language is Navajo. As in the prayer Hózhǫ́ naashá (in beauty I walk). The best spelling is hózhǫ́ , but hózhó is very common because it's hard to write hózhǫ́ without a Navajo keyboard. I think the only reason I added hózhó was because it was better than either hozho or hozhó. So I don't care whether it is kept or deleted. —Stephen (talk) 09:37, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
- Retarget to Navajo. The term is used throughout that article, and explains it a little better than the Beauty article. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:25, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
- Delete them all This is not what the word means at all. Its just for dumb white people who want to sound cool and then come to our lands and think they know it, like I read that on wiki so it must be true. you dont know shit. delete. learn the true meaning. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.172.214.119 (talk • contribs) 01:06, December 3, 2016 (UTC)
- delete all, Beauty is not a Navajo specific concept, so we do not need such redirect from another language. Also, we do not link more or less random words in foreign language to the language article. - Nabla (talk) 15:45, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- Retarget to Navajo, where it is described. -- Tavix (talk) 02:02, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Seraikistan, a movement against Punjabi and Pushto
- Seraikistan, a movement against Punjabi and Pushto → Bahawalpur South Punjab (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Delete per WP:RDEL #3. This redirect is a remnant of a page move from Feb 2007, when a user apparently decided to share their personal opinion on Saraikistan by renaming the article. As this wasn't undone until six months later, it's conceivable there might be incoming external links, but I don't think this is very likely. – Uanfala (talk) 02:08, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
11 September 2002
- 11 September 2002 → September 11 attacks (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Does not seem to be plausible, more likely people are not making a typo when they search for this. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 01:23, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Champion assert that "...more likely people are not making a typo when they search for this..." In fact the CIA symbolically chose to execute key raids in Pakistan on the first anniversary of September 11th, 2001. Those dozen or so individuals were then sent to the CIA's archipelago of sites where torture was routine. So, I disagree that this is an implausible search term. Geo Swan (talk) 08:33, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. This date likely holds no specific connection to people, except, I guess, as "the year after 9/11", but that's not really a tangible topic of encyclopedic discussion. It's also a WP:XY, as it could point to September 11 or 2002. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 13:58, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
