December 29

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on December 29, 2018.

WPNOTNEWS

WPNOTNEWS → Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a newspaper (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Cross-namespace redirect unlikely due to the omission of the colon. Steel1943 (talk) 22:43, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Rubbish computer (Talk: Contribs) 23:15, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP.NOTBROKEN

WP.NOTBROKEN → Wikipedia:Redirect#Do not "fix" links to redirects that are not broken (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Unlikely cross-namespace redirect. The symbol after the "WP" is a period, not a colon. Steel1943 (talk) 22:38, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Rubbish computer (Talk: Contribs) 23:16, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Some editors may remember the redirect as such, myself included. Nightscream (talk) 01:55, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Major powers - Germany

Major powers - Germany → Great power (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Useless redirect, as "great power" and "major power" are two different things, and the redirect target only mentions Germany along with many other great powers. 1990'sguy (talk) 22:21, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as appears implausible. Rubbish computer (Talk: Contribs) 23:15, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Potential Superpowers - Germany

Potential Superpowers - Germany → Great power (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Per WP:SURPRISE -- the redirect target has nothing to do with potential superpowers and only has some passing mentions of Germany. 1990'sguy (talk) 22:18, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as appears implausible. Rubbish computer (Talk: Contribs) 23:17, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Intelligent Personal Assistant Softwares

Template:Intelligent Personal Assistant Softwares → Template:Intelligent personal assistant software (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Delete Unlikely capitalization/form of navigation template. UnitedStatesian (talk) 18:29, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:CHEAP. It’s not inaccurate, it’s not unclear, and it’s not in the "article" namespace. To me, that’s about as "cheap" as it gets. Steel1943 (talk) 21:26, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Use Philippine English

Template:Use Philippine English → Template:Use American English (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Contradicts {{Philippine English}}. This redirect implies that Philippine English = American English which is wrong according to the talk page notice (it says Philippine English uses the British double-l (' travelled ')), the article on Philippine English, and many of the sources I'm seeing online. Even when the sources disagree on what constitutes Philippine English, few (if any) consider it to be effectively the same as American English. Sources: doi:10.17265/1539-8080/2013.05.003 and ISBN 978-962-209-947-0 — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 17:48, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Is there a reason this template can't simply be created, based on {{Use American English}}, etc.? -- Tavix ^(talk) 16:08, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Create template per Tavix (or delete in the unlikely event that isn't possible). Thryduulf (talk) 12:21, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment My cursory eyeballing of User:AnomieBOT/source/tasks/DatedCategoryCreator.pm and User:AnomieBOT/source/tasks/TagDater.pm leads me to think (hope) it'll all just magically work if we:

copy {{Use American English}} and change "American" to "Philippine" in the two places where it appears
create Category:All Wikipedia articles written in Philippine English (with parents Category:Hidden categories and Category:Wikipedia articles written in a national variety of English)
create Category:Use Philippine English (with parent Category:Wikipedia maintenance categories sorted by month)

AnomieBOT should then create the necessary month subcategories eventually. However AWB and other bots would require additional changes to know about the new template (e.g. I think it has to be added manually to Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Dated templates) and to enforce the appropriate spelling rules on pages that are tagged with it 59.149.124.29 (talk) 07:34, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Create 'Use Philippine English' template per Tavix's comment above. —Ntmamgtw (talk) 14:03, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Unless a draft template is created (possibly at Template:Use Philippine English/sandbox or something of the like), opinions to create a template are somewhat akin to "delete per WP:REDLINK". Relisting to give time for more feedback, as well as allowing time for a draft template to be created.

The result of the discussion was Speedily deleted, G7. (non-admin closure) UnitedStatesian (talk) 23:43, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

MOSMATH → Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Mathematics (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Delete. Cross namespace redirect that omits the standard colon punctuation. UnitedStatesian (talk) 16:50, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I thought the handful of XNRs I created back in 2013 were all gone. Apparently not. If an admin would speedy delete this redirect under {{db-g7}}, I'd appreciate it. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 19:21, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Swedish parliamentary election, 2015

Swedish parliamentary election, 2015 → 2018 Swedish general election (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Though there was some speculation of an early election, a Swedish parliamentary election never happened in 2015. 1990'sguy (talk) 02:15, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Wow, I'd almost forgotten about that - good reminder that crises usually do blow over, however serious they are at the time... The redirect could perhaps point at 2014 Swedish government crisis, but it seems like an unlikely search term for that article. --bonadea contributions talk 10:21, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unlikely search term. Sjö (talk) 10:28, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note: A "Swedish parliamentary election, 2018" redirect still does not exist even though such redirects exist for every single other Swedish general election. I recommend creating such a redirect as we delete the one I nominated. --1990'sguy (talk) 15:18, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I cant imangine anyone looking up a nonexistent election.--67.68.28.220 (talk) 07:05, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Repost

Repost → Riposte (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

WP:SURPRISE. When people search for "repost", they will be trying to find the term very commonly used in internet culture, not an obscure action in a sport. The word "repost" isn't even used in that article. Nixinova T C 19:01, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
