T52 class

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 retarget to T52 (classification). Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 15:40, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

T52 class → Le Normand-class frigate (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

The target article mentions an E-52 class, but I don't see anything about a T-52 class either there, on the linked French article, or in an online search. Delete unless a justification can be provided. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 20:16, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris ^talk! 22:10, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to T52 (classification). It's a bit of a stretch, but in that article classification and class are used close to interchangably. Class would seem to make sense in this redirect's grammatical construction when referring to the class of athletes rather than the classification of this class itself. — J947 ^[cont] 23:20, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to T52 (classification). The World Para Athletics organization uses "class" to refer to the different classification levels sometimes. See [1]. Hog Farm (talk) 02:33, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The disambiguator is connected to the word here; not useful. TheAwesome Hwyh 20:52, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. There needs to be a space between the title and the disambiguator. CycloneYoris ^talk! 22:14, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; useless to nominate or delete. Also, this has fair pageviews. — J947 ^[cont] 23:14, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Is a missing space really THAT implausible of a typo? Or is there something harmful about this redirect I've completely missed? Thegreatluigi (talk) 23:51, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per K4. It's not ridiculous, it gets some pageviews, and it's rather old. Hog Farm (talk) 02:35, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Football(soccer) → Association football (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

The disambiguator is connected to the word here, which makes it somewhat less useful. TheAwesome Hwyh 20:49, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, *cough*. — J947 ^[cont] 22:59, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- But if we delete this, Football (soccer) (which is the correctly spaced counterpart) will still appear on the search bar, so readers will still get redirected where they want to go regardless of deletion. CycloneYoris ^talk! 23:53, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yeah, readers will still get redirected where they want to go regardless of deletion a large amount of time but in the end deleting this just unnecessarily slows down the process of finding the wanted page. Why do that? — J947 ^[cont] 05:11, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to be Dutch. Besides both being Germanic languages, I'm not sure that the English language has any real ties to Dutch. TheAwesome Hwyh 20:24, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Or at least, not enough ties to justify a redirect. TheAwesome Hwyh 20:24, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is the German for "English language", a perfectly reasonable search term for German-speaking people tying to navigate our encyclopaedia – see Englische Sprache. The Dutch is Engels. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:05, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what this is. Maybe it's "goat" in another language? In any case, I'm not sure its useful. TheAwesome Hwyh 20:18, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete apparently in Hindi, it means "goat". Or "canvas water bag". Or "silver anklet". [2]. So we have an WP:XY problem, and the title isn't suitable for disambiguation per WP:NOTDIC. Also it was created in September 2019 by a sockpuppet of a user who was blocked in March 2019, so it qualifies for WP:CSD#G5 too. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 06:00, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per wikt:æroplanes. Wiktionary only accepts common misspellings so them having an entry for the word is telling in the evaluation of this redirect. However, the deletion log of wikt:æroplane gives bad vibes at first but that entry has only been deleted as a redirect (under wikt:WT:REDIR#U2) and as a fatuous definition – it hasn't been deleted as a misspelling page. — J947 ^[cont] 22:39, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to List of beaches in New York as the best we can do for the readers. — J947 ^[cont] 19:05, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. New York Beach is a proper noun and there is no such thing; no such beach is listed at List of beaches in New York, so it's somewhat misleading to target it there. New York Beach Ferry is a redirect and is the name of a ferry, not a beach. This averages zero hits per day with no incoming links and will not be missed.

Delete unlike with #Hiphopabad above, we don't have a Wikipedia article about the magazine article that originated this term, and I don't know of any other place where it would be WP:PROPORTIONal to add it. It probably meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion, and I'll go create an entry when I get some time, but I don't think it's worth a soft redirect from over here. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 00:26, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. It's a one letter typo, and a rather plausible one at that. It's not the most likely of misspellings, and admittedly, it's not getting a huge amount of use, but it certainly seems to be reasonable enough to avoid deletion. Thegreatluigi (talk) 00:07, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@CrazyBoy826: COVID literally stands for coronavirus disease. — J947 ^[cont] 22:23, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- COronaVIrus Disease 2019 is different than Coronavirus disease 2012, and it's very unlikely anyone could get confused. 2020 coronavirus's official name is COVID-19, while 2012 coronavirus's is established as MERS. CrazyBoy826 (talk | contribs) 23:34, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Calling it COVID is a fair assumption however. — J947 ^[cont] 23:37, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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

Retarget to Taichō. This redirect was created by a bot as a diacriticless variant of “Tåîchô”. “Tåîchô” is mojibake for “Tłı̨chǫ”.^[1] Since “Taicho” is two steps removed from “Tłı̨chǫ” but a plausible Anglicization of “Taichō”, it should be retargeted to the latter.

Retarget per Gorobay. Japanese words with "ō" generally get redirected to the same word with "o" (or occasionally, as here, the other way round). For example, Tōkyō, although hardly anyone uses the diacritics even though they are correct. Narky Blert (talk) 18:47, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2012 June 16 – no consensus

The target article contains no information whatever about this software, and the existence of the redirect prevents the upper-right Wikipedia search box from working (which is the precise reason why the RFD process exists at all).

This redirect created back in 2007 seems to get A LOT less pageviews (the difference being in the millions since July 2015), possibly because of the misspelling of "Nintendo" here...which I'm not sure is very common or plausible. Regards, SONIC678 04:52, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
