January 8

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on January 8, 2020.

List of births, marriages and deaths in Hollyoaks

Unlikely search target, recreation of recently deleted article. — MarkH21talk 23:40, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Teeth of Mordor

The "Teeth of Mordor" does not appear to be a place, thing, or anatomical function described in Wikipedia. A movie with this title appears to be referenced exactly once in a filmography, but since the apparent film has no article, no reason to redirect there. I think this is an attempt at "The Towers of the Teeth", but I wouldn't call this a logical search term for that target. Hog Farm (talk) 22:15, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thistle Brook (Middle-earth)

Not discussed at target article. Hog Farm (talk) 22:10, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Faolin42 (talk) 00:26, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of Middle-earth inns

The topic of Middle-earth inns is not discussed on the target page, or anywhere really. Hog Farm (talk) 22:06, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Duin Dhaer

Not mentioned in any article on the English Wikipedia. Hog Farm (talk) 21:58, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Faolin42 (talk) 00:25, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Movie theaters and handpainted movie posters

Not a plausible or relevant search term or link. —Matthew - (talk) 20:18, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Longest Street in North America

Misleading redirect from an implausible search term. While it is true that Yonge Street was once incorrectly labelled by sources as the "longest street in the world", that's been disproven and is no longer claimed -- however, now that it's lost that braggadocious claim and had the sources chop it back down to its actual length, it definitely does not continue to hold the status of being the longest street in North America either, as it's fifteen miles shorter than the length ascribed to Colfax Avenue in Denver CO. And even Colfax Avenue is merely claimed by some, but not all, sources as the longest street in the United States alone. I can find no sources that make any claims as to the longest street in North America as a whole — but even if there is another street longer than Colfax, it definitely isn't Yonge. Bearcat (talk) 20:17, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Noo Yawk

Delete. Not a plausible search term or link. The only plausible explanation for this redirect that comes to mind is that it was meant as a joke. R'n'B (call me Russ) 02:29, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

'Keep Common enough spelling for how it's heard in a New York accent, or at least perceived as such. It's in Wiktionary. Google finds the term having been used in the NY Times and Post, and in other media sources. It might be obvious enough to an American what it is, but someone whose first language isn't English might not know. "I wouldn't search for this term" doesn't mean nobody would. Redirects are cheap. PaulGS (talk) 01:38, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatively, retarget to New York English per Glades12 as that seems to be the theme of many RS. ComplexRational (talk) 00:01, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: It seems like we have a consensus forming against deletion, but I'd like to see a little more discussion of redirect vs. keep before closing (although obviously if editors feel strongly about deletion they should not hesitate to argue for that point as well)

Wikipedia:DSC

There are too many delsort topics starting with C to single out cricket. ミラP 19:41, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This seems like a pretty cheap retarget/delete given only 10 links. (More likely delete unless someone comes up with a good target.) --Izno (talk) 20:02, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Girdley Island

Not mentioned anywhere on the English Wikipedia. Hog Farm (talk) 18:47, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ignacio Parada

Not mentioned at the target. In an internet search, I was able to find [1], which would establish that Parada was a passenger on the plane. However, given it is unlikely to ever be DUE to mention at the target, and thus I'd suggest deleting the redirect. signed, Rosguill talk 18:39, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disparity(Brain)

A redirect with a doubly-malformed qualifier (no space, capital letter) to a DAB page - delete. (Nb The correctly-formed Disparity (brain) exists.) Narky Blert (talk) 15:26, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Stephen Gabbard

Not a useful redirect, subject is not notable and not mentioned in target section. Eagles 24/7 (C) 14:30, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Greenlander(s)

These should target the same place. Glades12 (talk) 14:15, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment: Indeed, and you tempted me to try a non-admin closure as IP, but that would require IAR, and I reserve that for serious cases. Please apply {{sofixit}} on the singular. –84.46.53.207 (talk)

Wikipedia:Weikfield Foods

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was speedy delete under WP:G6 (uncontroversial maintenance). — Newslinger talk 08:29, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to have been created mistakenly by a move to the wrong namespace — MarkH21talk 08:14, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Blue Mountains north of Grey Havens

This redirect is oddly specific, and is probably too specific to be a logical search term. Hog Farm (talk) 06:17, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Four Middle-earth redirects with similar names

These items do not appear to be mentioned anywhere on the English Wikipedia. Hog Farm (talk) 06:03, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Brown Lands/The Brown Lands

Not mentioned at all in target article. For an explanation as to why I'm RfDing so many of these, AfDs of list articles have led to a lot of stray redirects leading to the section Middle-earth#Geography, and I'm cleaning up the more obscure ones. Hog Farm (talk) 06:02, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment: Neither Mordor nor The Two Towers mention it, The Brown Lands are irrelevant at the moment and no likely search term. OTOH Brown Lands has a 12 years old edit history, maybe {{R to section}} #The Two Towers and wait for better times.
Thinking longer about this, it's actually a generic term, reducing it to Middle-earth violates WP:POLA, on the border to a "harmful redirect" (per policy). How about rename without leaving a redirect (name TBD) + retarget? That would defeat the purpose of keeping historic redirects as is (per policy), but at least preserve the edit history. –84.46.53.207 (talk) 17:34, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Floating Log

Not mentioned in the context of Middle-earth (target article) at all. Delete as weird fancruft. Hog Farm (talk) 03:39, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Forsaken Inn

Mentioned once, and not at the target article, in a passing sense. No reason to redirect to Bree (Middle-earth) if there's only one minor mention of it there, or to Middle-earth, since no mentions there. Hog Farm (talk) 03:38, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Minor miscellaeneous places in Arda

Minor places in Arda redirects to Arda (Tolkien). However, I cannot anticipate "Minor miscellaeneous places in Arda" being a logical search term, even without the apparent misspelling of "miscellaneous." Hog Farm (talk) 03:33, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ibrahim S. Quraishi

An editor added Ibrahim S. Quraishi to the cast list of The Night Clerk but Quraishi's part is so insignificant that it's not even listed on IMDb so there's no sense in keeping a redirect. Pichpich (talk) 03:26, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gwathlo

Mentioned approximately four times in all articles in Wikipedia (three articles, none of which are the target article), all very briefly, and with no clear priority for redirect. As an implausible search term, I suggest deletion. Hog Farm (talk) 03:23, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Langwell (Middle-earth)

Mentioned once in the Wikipedia, and the one mention (not the target article) is is in a page that does not seem likely to survive AfD. Hog Farm (talk) 03:12, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: an unimportant fictional river.--Jack Upland (talk) 07:54, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Faolin42 (talk) 00:21, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lond Daer Ened (Two spellings)

Does not appear to be mentioned anywhere in the English Wikipedia. Hog Farm (talk) 03:09, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Druwaith Iaur

Mentioned once each in a minor way on three different pages in the English Wikipedia, none of which are the target article. Since this is really obscure fancruft with no clear priority for the redirect, I think deletion is a definite possibility. Hog Farm (talk) 03:03, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bundushathûr

Not mentioned in target article whatsoever and implausible redirect target. Is mentioned at Khuzdul, but since Khuzdul is a language article where "Bundushathur" is only mentioned as an example, it makes little sense to redirect there either. Hog Farm (talk) 02:55, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All-welcome Inn

Not mentioned in the target article whatsoever. Appears to have been redirected to the target article after the redirect of the original target. Hog Farm (talk) 02:51, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
