This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on March 9, 2018.
The Cistern
- The Cistern → Quake (video game) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Overly vague to redirect here. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:21, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
Abandoned Base
- Abandoned Base → Quake (video game) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- The Abandoned Base → Quake (video game) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Overly vague to redirect here. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:19, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
Shambler
Overly vague to redirect here. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:19, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
- Retarget to Shambling mound, for which it's an alternative name. There are some other results, mainly related to the Star vampire, but they're just partial-title matches. --BDD (talk) 22:21, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
Jumping in Quake
- Jumping in Quake → Quake (video game) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Delete per WP:GAMEGUIDE. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:18, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
Gentlemen.
- Gentlemen. → Team Fortress Classic (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Meme redirect, was probably meant to redirect to TF2, but is unnecessary. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:07, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
- Holy cow, that's from like 9 years ago. Yeah drop it, it's useless --HTMLCoder.exe / talk / stalk 22:11, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
Hλlf-Life
- Hλlf-Life → Half-Life (video game) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- HλLF-LIFE → Half-Life (video game) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I guess it's someone's idea of a joke, because nobody will type in the weird lambda character when searching for the game. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:04, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
- Keep Yeah, I'll grant that you that it's probably not the first way people would search, but it is stylized that way on the game's cover. It's a fair bet that if someone does search with the lambda, they're looking for the game. --BDD (talk) 22:19, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
- Keep I made it; I guess it can be useful when you want to link to it using the stylised version. Also, other websites might talk about HL2 using the lambda, so if people copy and paste it into Wikipedia thinking that that'll be the actual page, then they should be redirected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nixinova (talk • contribs) 02:04, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
W+M1
Not sure what this means, but it's not mentioned in the article. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:00, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
The Sandman (Baseball Bat)
- The Sandman (Baseball Bat) → Team Fortress 2 (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
There is no way this is a plausible redirect. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 21:59, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
Painis Cupcake
- Painis Cupcake → Team Fortress 2 (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Minor fanmade character not relevant to or mentioned in the article. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 21:57, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
Torus action
- Torus action → Toric variety (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
It need to be deleted since the target is incorrect (a variety with a torus action is not the same thing as a toric variety and the redirect is unhelpful since there are many important examples of varieties with a torus action that are not toric varieties) Taku (talk) 20:53, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
Clovergender
- Clovergender → Martin Shkreli (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
While the target article is the only place on Wikipedia this term is mentioned, the redirect seems inappropriate. A sourced statement on Shkreli's article says the concept is "a hoax trend of adults identifying as children, while also being sexually attracted to them." Whether or not the concept is notable, Shkreli didn't create it or apparently do anything more than retweet about it. BDD (talk) 20:04, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
- Delete Per WP:NEO and as unrelated to article.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 15:53, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
TMC Pulse
Non-notable newsletter by the center. Not described in the article. Do we need to have redirects for every newsletter/magazine put out by hospitals and organizations? [1] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:16, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
Black Rose (magazine)
- Black Rose (magazine) → List of anarchist periodicals (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not mentioned in the target. The target lists only notable periodicals (in keeping with WP:CSC), so I think deleting this is preferable to adding it to the target. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 01:01, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
- Delete - This is a real publication that's published works by notable individuals. However, it appears to have a rather limited readership and is pretty obscure. I also support deletion. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 04:53, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
- Delete - this was a one-sentence stub for a couple years but has been a redirect for nearly 10. It was merged to the list here but I think that formatted link is insufficiently creative to require attribution, and has since been copyedited out of the list. A trickle of page hits suggest it might be useful if there was information at the target, but since there's not, delete per WP:REDLINK. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 12:14, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
