Teletherapy

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate target page for this redirect. This phrase could mean therapy for mental health that is online. I recommend that this either be disambiguated or retargeted. Interstellarity (talk) 11:56, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Toyota 89CV

This appears to be the name of a racecar that currently has no article. Propose retarget to Toyota 88C-V until (or if) an article is created. TheAwesomeHwyh 21:26, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - According to WP:REDIRECT and WP:REDLINK, if the article does not exist yet then we should not have a redirect to some place that doesn't describe it just to avoid a red link. Instead, the red link provides hints to potential editors that here is something that they can create with their knowledge of the subject. Since the redirect to Toyota doesn't actually tell you anything about the race car, the current redirect is actually giving you no information about it and hiding the invitation to write a proper article for it.  Stepho  talk  22:56, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for now. At this time, there's no good place to point this. If we had an article on the car, the correct title would be Toyota 89C-V. - Eureka Lott 03:41, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deep Depression

Not sure what to do with this one. Mentioned at target article, but this seems to refer to Major depressive disorder and similar topics as much or more than it does for hurricanes. Hog Farm (talk) 16:19, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget both to DAB page Depression. The preceding discussion shows that the expression is ambiguous. It would be a very bad idea to have different targets for different capitalisations, which would land users randomly on different pages. Narky Blert (talk) 08:14, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NeoCon

Is a trade fair that doesn't even have its own article a more plausible search term than neoconservatism? pbp 21:24, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to neoconservatism. neocon already redirects to neoconservatism, and NeoCon could be a hypothetical alternate capitalization of the clipping for neoconservatism. Although this specific capitalization seems to be rare for neoconservatism specifically (after a brief Google search), it does receive some daily views (all pageviews mentioned are sourced from the Wikimedia Foundation Toolforge Pageviews Tool). Since January 2020, the redirect has received about 7 views per day, with no noticeable increase between March 17-20, 2020, which was the date range of NeoCon 2020's postponement and cancellation that received a fair amount of press (here, here, and here, for example). If most users were using the NeoCon redirect for the event, one would likely expect an increase during that time, although there does not seem to be any. Kʜᴜ'ʜᴀᴍɢᴀʙᴀ Kɪᴛᴀᴘ (parlez ici) 13:29, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget It appears to be a plausible contraction of neoconservatism and page views show that it is beating searched. Also, based on the fact that during the time the trade show was announced to be cancelled there was no change in page views it strongly indicates that it’s not the trade show that people typing the term meoVon are looking for.--69.157.252.96 (talk) 07:07, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Supermarket News

No logical connection, and appears to be a trend of redirections creased by suspicious account. ZimZalaBim talk 01:49, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Supermarket News appears to be a website affiliated with Informa. See [1]. A7V2 (talk) 07:24, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Enwiki has no information about "Supermarket News" but an uninhibited Search will reveal some mentions. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:06, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. No satisfactory target, let the search tool do its work. Narky Blert (talk) 13:59, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Supermarket News is published by Informa, hence the redirect to the Informa page. Supermarket News is a major source of news, rankings, and other information on the supermarket industry. The redirect gets several page views per day. The request for deletion is completely motivated by ad-hominem/personal reasons because the nominator did not like another one of my edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikieditor600 (talk • contribs) 16:54, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Change something. I checked Ulrichsweb, which lists the publisher as Penton rather than as Informa — Penton's an Informa subsidiary, so the redirect isn't wrong, but if it's kept, it ought to be retargeted to the title given by this directory. (ISSN is 0039-5803 for the print version, published since 1952, and the web version the same URL that A7V2 provided.) Also, there's another Supermarket News, published by Elsevier beginning in 1989 or earlier, and apparently ending in 2019 or 2020. I don't see why an Informa Group title would be primary versus an Elsevier title, and it seems silly to create a disambiguation page when neither of the potential articles actually exists yet and our only choices are to link the publisher names on the disambiguation page. Deletion, therefore, is what I'm leaning toward. Nyttend backup (talk) 13:01, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

      • The other "Supermarket News" does not seem to have a website or anything about it on the internet so it is likely not notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. The "Supermarket News" published by Informa is well-known in the industry and is cited in many Wikipedia articles. Regardless, the existence of another publication of the same name does not preclude the publication by Informa from having a Wikipedia page/redirect. If there is a Wikipedia page created for both versions of "Supermarket News", then there can be a disambiguation page but I do not see any reason that the other version is notable.Wikieditor600 (talk) 14:56, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Akira Fubuki

While there originally was an entry for Akira Fubuki at the target disambiguation page, the entry was simply circularly linked to this redirect, and does not belong on that page per WP:DABRED. I would suggest deletion. signed, Rosguill talk 20:49, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Li Changgeng

Not mentioned at the target, internet searches just returned results for contemporary people with this name. Delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 20:44, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment This is a transliteration of "李长庚", which is an alternative name for the target according to Baidu Baike (non-RS). zh:李長庚 exists, but is about a general who lived between 1752 - 1807. Other people with this name who prominently appear in search results include a musician and a general manager for a financial firm in Taiwan. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 23:29, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Direxion

Not mentioned at the target, I would suggest deletion. I see that this was originally created as an article and then converted to a redirect by the same editor 5 minutes later; if need be, we can procedurally close this discussion, restore the article, and proceed to an AfD discussion. signed, Rosguill talk 20:23, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you think deleting this would be beneficial? Benjamin (talk) 22:00, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
When a reader types the name of a company into Wikipedia's search bar, they should get some explicit information about that company, not be sent to an article on a general class of products that doesn't mention the company at all. At best this leaves the reader, who is probably coming to Wikipedia because they know little about the company and need an introduction from the very basics, to guess that the company does some kind of business related to this product (but what kind of business? provider? commentator? auditor?). At worst this leads to mistaken inferences (e.g. "the company offers only this type of product and no others"). Search results (Special:Search/~Direxion) are always more informative than such a redirect. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 07:28, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pribyslavitz

Mbdfar has asserted that Pribyslavitz is the anglicized term from the video game to refer to this specific village of Přibyslavice. Those searching for the real life analog would use this name. I cannot find any evidence online, on Wikipedia or on Google Scholar that this is the case. If sources backing up this interpretation, I would suggest either redirecting to Kingdom Come: Deliverance, or possibly deletion, as it does not appear to currently be mentioned at that target. signed, Rosguill talk 20:18, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rosguill, I'll admit, this is a tough one to prove. All I can say is that it is common for the German words for Czech locations often switch the -ice ending for itz, (see German words for Czech locations). Hence, Přibyslavice becomes Pribyslavitz. I was going off of the location in the game (see gameplay map) where it is referred to as Pribyslavitz. If this is insubstantial, I would support a redirect to Přibyslavice as it could theoretically be used for any location of this name. Mbdfar (talk) 21:27, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

10 Things You Need to Know About Losing Weight

This appears to just be the name of a documentary they made- not sure if this redirect is necessary. TheAwesomeHwyh 19:45, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - as stated, it appears to have been a one-off documentary, but looking at the history of the article it looks like it just listed the '10 things' rather than any information about the actual documentary, so can't be restored as a stub. It's not particularly useful as it stands. Bob talk 23:05, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, might be more useful as a redirect to Michael Mosley (broadcaster), in which case it's not really doing any harm. Bob talk 23:07, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

HMS Javelin (F12)

Redirects to HMS Kashmir, but there's no indication, either in that article or in the top google results, that the Kashmir was ever named Javelin at any time, or that any such entity as "HMS Javelin F12" ever existed.

There's another Javelin (HMS Javelin (F61)), and "HMS Javelin" alone redirects to her.

It's a problem because searching on "HMS Javelin" brings up both the real Javelin and this redirect to Kashmir in the search results, and its confusing. If and when sourced material is written into the article showing that the Kashmire was ever named Javelin, then this redirect can be recreated, and possibly HMS Javelin made into a disambig page.

Fooball

Implausible typo - see this and this. CrazyBoy826 (talk) 17:13, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Update: this could easily be confused between Football, Foosball, and Gooball. CrazyBoy826 (talk | contribs) 21:15, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

4-sphere

Either refine to the section N-sphere#Specific spheres or retarget to Five-dimensional space#Hypersphere. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 14:42, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • My preference goes to N-sphere#Specific spheres as the new target. Pichpich (talk) 14:45, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as it is, per WP:LEAST: A reader should not be surprised by the replacement of 4 by N, but most readers may be surprised to not getting the definition of a 4-sphere, and getting instead a technical specific property (there is no definition in the first proposed target; the second proposed target contains a definition, but it does not apply to 4-spheres that are not embedded in the five-dimensional space). D.Lazard (talk) 16:20, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as is. Like D.Lazard, I think the current target is less confusing that the proposed alternative. XOR'easter (talk) 18:08, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, otherwise Retarget to N-sphere#Specific spheres: It should definitely point to the N-sphere article instead of the 5-dimensional space article, since the former has much more information relevant to the properties of the 4-sphere (namely properties that are true for all n-spheres). Ambivalent about whether it should point at the section, with a slight preference for the general article per D.Lazard. — MarkH21talk 18:22, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tagal, Indonesia

I don't know if "Tagal" is a common misspelling for the Indonesian place (Tegal city or related Tegal Regency). If it is then Tagal, Indonesia can be kept. Tagal, Indonesia (disambiguation), however, serves no purpose. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:07, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Samsung Group

Unlikely search term, we don't have similar formatted redirects like The Microsoft Corporation, The Google Inc., The Apple Inc, etc. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 02:28, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cortirion

Not mentioned in target article, delete unless justification and/or mention is provided. Hog Farm (talk) 18:25, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's an early name for Valinor#Tirion, so we could have a mention there if anyone thinks it worthwhile. Apparently it turned into the real town of Warwick. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:41, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how that's relevant here—the first is a proper noun coined after the long s disappeared from usage, and the second does not have any prominent usage due to the fact that outer space was not written about in any noteworthy way while the long s was popular. -- Tavix (talk) 11:44, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep spellings for words that were in use before the retirement of the long s. This isn't the 18th century, but I feel Wikipedia should redirect archaic forms to modern ones, and this was in use. Also while "the character can be interchanged for regular 's' when used as a search term" I also consider hand-typed URLs in the web browser search bars, which do not do this. I like to be comprehensive when writing redirects. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:01, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
