Another Middle-earth river redirect not mentioned anywhere. It's rather a minor plot point, just a name on a map really, so I don't see a reason to really mention it anywhere. Hog Farm Bacon 23:56, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Neither the target section nor that section's main article has any information about it, so the redirect is pointless. -- Elphion (talk)

Incorrect use of the draft namespace. There's no page history here, both have always been redirects. This isn't a plausible search term, as nobody's gonna search for a title with the Draft: prefix, unless they're looking for a specific draft. Hog Farm Bacon 22:59, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Ram Mandir, Ayodhya aka Option 2 signed, Rosguill talk 17:08, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ram Lalla refers to the deity, which is an infant Rama
By the page move history, the Redirect was to Ram Lalla Temple, which then redirected to Ram Janmabhoomi but now redirects to Ram Mandir, Ayodhya. A bot fix for double redirect is why it currently redirects to Ram Janmabhoomi.

Proposing to redirect either to
1. Rama (as per mythology)
2. Ram Mandir, Ayodhya (the temple of Ram Lalla)

The result of the discussion was delete. signed, Rosguill talk 17:07, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a misspelling and unnecessary capitalisation of a bad over-literal translation into Chinese of the term couch potato, created by a user who was blocked for sockpuppetry (though only after this redirect was created, so it doesn't qualify as WP:CSD#G5). The bad over-literal translation itself (沙發馬鈴薯) gets about a dozen Google Hits [2]. Even apart from the WP:FORRED issues, the existence of this redirect adds zero value to Wikipedia and may mislead unsuspecting readers into assuming it's a correct term. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 09:52, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Previously targeted Married... with Children, but I don't see this redirect being a likely search term for any subject at Bob Rooney (including Bob Rooney (Married... with Children) due to the lack of space and since the redirect is not proper WP:CAMELCASE though it is over 10 years old.

The result of the discussion was delete. The redirects seemingly did make sense in the past when we had an article at Wraith, but in the absence of this it is not considered helpful to readers to direct them to a very nonspecific disambiguation page. ~ mazca talk 16:18, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's not clear how a reader is supposed to find what they are looking for when searching these terms if they are forwarded to a disambiguation page with multiple different, distinct subjects. It would probably be best to delete these redirects so that Wikipedia's search function can do its job. Steel1943 (talk) 06:10, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

IRC +10414

[edit]

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 Two-Micron Sky Survey as the option that seemed to have the most support and the least opposition per the discussion below. (non-admin closure) Steel1943 (talk) 16:14, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

IRC +10414 refers to a completely different star, not related to IRC -10414 and not mentioned at IRC -10414. This redirect is likely to cause confusion and is an unlikely search term for anyone wanting IRC -10414. Lithopsian (talk) 20:06, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is most likely not notable; perhaps borderline, but references are thin on the ground. It would certainly be possible to create an article since the data for a starbox exists, but beyond basic data there aren't really any references to say anything about it and it would never get beyond a stub. Might even get tagged for deletion for failing WP:NASTRO. Lithopsian (talk) 20:13, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That is what the IRC part means. The question is whether it helps anyone looking for "IRC +10414"? Possibly it would let them know it is a star. Perhaps it should redirect direct to Two-Micron Sky Survey unless there is some other possible meaning for it. Lithopsian (talk) 15:00, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-1975 North Indian Ocean cyclone seasons

[edit]

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 delete all except Pre-1980 North Indian Ocean cyclone seasons, which has no consensus. The incoming links have been fixed, leaving these outdated titles as actively misleading and non-useful. Pre-1980 North Indian Ocean cyclone seasons has not reached a consensus due to its high number of incoming links, and the fact that (until halfway through the debate) there was a Category:Pre-1980 North Indian Ocean cyclone seasons, subsequently emptied and C1'ed. As an editorial action after this closure, I'm going to retarget the redirect to North Indian Ocean tropical cyclone#Seasons as a decent target that should give readers the actual information they're looking for - if there are issues with this, or if the incoming links are all cleared, it can be individually renominated if anyone wishes to. ~ mazca talk 16:10, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fix all incoming links and delete, or turn into a disambiguation (if this is considered a useful search term).

There are many pages about cyclones (or seasons) between 1900 and 1975, and the redirect is often confusing or wrong (e.g. this is used on Winston Churchill, where it is about a 1942 cyclone; the reader is not helped at all by this redirect in such a case).

The same applies to some other redirects with the same target:

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: The four redirects mentioned at the end of the nomination statement (all but the first one in the nomination) were not tagged or officially listed as though they were part of the discussion until this relist. So, relisting now that all the redirects have been tagged to allow editors who may search these redirects time to provide input.

The result of the discussion was keep. Possibly an obscure and vague synonym in English, but participants generally feel that this is a frequently used abbreviation in Spanish. Given the lack of any other frequent English usages for this abbreviation to cause actual confusion, this is likely to be a net positive. ~ mazca talk 20:30, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A Google search brings up a number of uses besides the target for this string, including a NN vacuum, a model of sneakers, and what appears to be a vague chemistry thing. Hog Farm Bacon 02:34, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
