June 9

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on June 9, 2018.

WP:PR

PR is more commonly used to mean press releases. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 22:39, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Marc Crockford

Delete. Not notable enough as a municipal election candidate. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:39, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, -- Tavix (talk) 19:57, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Full flavored cigarettes

there is no reference to this phrase in the article, and the phrase has no specific meaning, and is a very unlikely search term, where someone will simply type cigarette Mercurywoodrose (talk) 17:46, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:CUR

The documentation for the target describes CUR as the official FIFA country code, which is not the case according to the Wiki page List of FIFA country codes. No other organization uses this alpha-3 code for Curacao, and therefore, this redirect seems implausible. 2601:589:8000:2ED0:B5D2:CD82:9D:D122 (talk) 17:21, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ex officio

Should this redirect be retargeted to the article ex officio member instead of redirecting to List of Latin phrases, a Wiktionary-stye list? The ex officio member article covers most encyclopedic uses of the term. With this request, I include other variants such as ex-officio and ex-Officio. (I have no strong opinion on this myself but would appreciate discussion.) —  AjaxSmack  15:51, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Death of a Showman

Not mentioned in target article, probably an unnotable level name. Lordtobi (✉) 13:22, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rasmus Hojengaard

He was the director on the game, but there is no other information than that on him on that article. It was not his only work, either. Lordtobi (✉) 13:21, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List of Characters in Hitman Blood Money

Not such list in target article. Lordtobi (✉) 13:20, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Eve (Hitman: Blood Money)

Not mentioned in target article. Lordtobi (✉) 13:20, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lorne De Haviland

Not mentioned in target article. Lordtobi (✉) 13:20, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hitman: 6

There is no game in the series called this way, and nobody will search for it with a colon. Lordtobi (✉) 13:13, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List of Square Enix Hitman characters

Square Enix did not invent any characters in the series, they just published two games in the series. Unlikely search term also. Lordtobi (✉) 13:12, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hitman Clones

Not in target article or section. Lordtobi (✉) 13:11, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Purayah II

Not in target article or section. Lordtobi (✉) 13:09, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hitman Agent 17

Terms refer to a side character in the Hitman series, but these search are unlikely to ever be searched for. Lordtobi (✉) 13:08, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Hitman Mr.17 is unused, but Hitman Agent 17 is well used with over 100 hits so far this year, so people are apparently searching for it (and/or it is linked from somewhere external). There is no obvious content about the character in the target, but there was in List of Hitman video game characters which this was previously a redirect to until the list was itself redirected to the franchise article.
    The redirection of the list appears to be the subject of a very slow motion edit war and does not seem to have been the subject of any discussion. My gut feeling is to undo the redirect of the list, target all the character redirects back to the list and close the RfDs without prejudice, and launch a publicised discussion somewhere about merging the content. Once the merge discussion concludes and any action is taken, we can reconsider the redirects at that point. I'll ping the video games project about this. Thryduulf (talk) 14:13, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    While there is "Agent 17", there never was "Hitman Agent 17". Agent 17 is still mentioned on the page and that specific redirect was not put up for discussion. Lordtobi (✉) 14:19, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Minor character. "Agent 17" is not mentioned at target nor does it need to be. (Not even mentioned at Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, the ideal redirect for Agent 17, where the character is ostensibly part of the plot. As for the other proposal above, I don't see any valid reason for restoring 85k worth of unsourced plot summary. (not watching, please {{ping}}) czar 14:32, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Franchise (Hitman series)

I don't think anyone would ever search for the Hitman franchise this way. Lordtobi (✉) 13:06, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Korean People's Party

While the target is a People's Party and it is Korean, it is by no means the only one (see List of political parties in South Korea) - indeed the hits on google for the exact phrase seem to be divided among several different parties, with perhaps slightly more than half relating to North Korea. I'm not sure whether deletion or disambiguation is better here? I will leave a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Korea and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Politics/Political parties about all these nominations. Thryduulf (talk) 12:47, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

People's Party of South Korea

Another name that is seemingly not used by the target political party, nor particularly for them. As the target article's name suggests there are a lot of parties in South Korea that have been named "People's Party" or some variation thereof, and as an exact phrase this search term seems to have been used for several of them, so I suggest retarget to List of political parties in South Korea where the correct one desired can be found. Thryduulf (talk) 12:40, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

United Future Party of Korea

Delete. This name is not mentioned in the target article, nor does it appear to be a name used anywhere for this political party. See also user:59.149.124.29's comments at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 June 8#Korean United Party. This was created by Kenrick'sGJSALover, the same user who created the redirect nominated yesterday and who created those redirects discussed below at #GJS Coalition of Malaysia. Thryduulf (talk) 12:35, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thai Grand Prix

No valid target for this redirect. Tvx1 11:41, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to Thailand motorcycle Grand Prix, which does get called by this name. There are/were some badminton and martial arts events with "Thailand" and "Grand Prix" in the name but none seem to be/have been commonly called the "Thai Grand Prix" or "Thailand Grand Prix" (certainly for badminton, "Thailand Masters" seems to be the common short name). If there are other events in the future with this name (the country does want to host an F1 grand prix for example) then this can be retargetted, disambiguated and/or hatnotes added at that time. Thryduulf (talk) 12:18, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The "GJS" Propaganda

All redirects created either by Kenrick'sGJSALover (talk · contribs) or by indef-blocked Kenricklenno2001 (talk · contribs) who is probably a previous account of the same user. Edit summaries by the creator like this or this suggest that "GJS Alliance" or "GJS Coalition" is either something he WP:MADEUP or is connected to School-Live! (a Japanese comic book series). 59.149.124.29 (talk) 06:20, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am adding the "Morrisonist" redirect because it appears to be something else made up by the same user. Also of note: after I removed this "GJS Alliance" garbage from the article Voez, an IP showed up within hours to add "Morrisonist" instead. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 11:38, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
