Revision as of 13:58, 7 December 2016

December 7

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on December 7, 2016.

Bear versus bull (Reality)

Unlikely search term. Target article does not involve bulls fighting against bears. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bear versus bull.  Sandstein  13:19, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Natalie Imbruglia: The Collection

Album is not mentioned in target. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:51, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ukr

Not sure is a plausible abbreviation, support dabifying by all means if other usages can be found. Couldn't find other abbreviation, just delete for these two redirects don't conform to one another. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:44, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Torn Music Video

Ambiguous, as seen by the dab page Torn, there are multiple songs, retargeting to the dab will just make it harder for search results link directly to the section that is appropriate. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:34, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Aliaume Damala Badara Akon Thiam

Inappropriate CNR. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:28, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

LH Server

Not sure what this means, anyway, does not seem to be a valid synonym. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:24, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Champion: The original edit summary says it's an abbreviation for longhorn server. A Google search suggests no evidence of this being used as a synonym for longhorn server, though, and it has no pageviews in the past 90 days, so I would say Delete. Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 10:16, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • A Google search gives me 2 hits on the first page and 3 4 on the second where "LH server" is used for "Longhorn server", so it's not unheard of. I originally created the redirect because I had to look it up once when it was mentioned on some kind of forum where I was looking for documentation. In my view, Wikipedia is exactly the right place to look up the meaning of this kind of semi-obscure terms. And as long as they aren't incorrect (and this one isn't), redirects don't harm or stand in the way for anyone. – gpvos (talk) 10:35, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
  • Keep per Gpvos as the synonym is used. Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 13:21, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Server 2003

WP:XY, also a PTM for Exchange Server 2003. Delete. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:23, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Windows XP server

No such thing, perhaps retarget to Windows Server 2003 as {{R from incorrect name}} but not sure if it is super plausible. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:19, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Low-cost Windows

I don't know what this is supposed to refer to, but it seems more likely to refer to windows than the operating system, delete nevertheless, vague search term. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:16, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Flying Windows

Term not mentioned in target. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:12, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't this a screensaver for, I think, Windows 3.1? Whether that's useful to have, I don't know. (We have Flying toasters). Searching the Interweb for "Flying windows.scr" tends to indicate that it is/was, and has been retrofitted by various third parties to Win8/10, but how much use that is to Wikipedia I don't know. Si Trew (talk) 07:11, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@SimonTrew: I remember XP did have like a Windows flag screensaver that folded, I don't have access to an XP PC or a virtual machine, not sure if it is notable for a separate article though. My personal favourite would have to be the Maze one in Win98/2k. But your typical Linux distro has literally hundreds more than any Windows OS, such as the flying GNOME feet etc. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 07:20, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wind OS

Not plausible, there is a non-notable operating system by this name. The closest target I could find was Wind River Systems but I still support deletion. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 06:11, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as WP:XY. I would have thought of Wind River Systems' VxWorks product first, actually. Si Trew (talk) 07:15, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tied together

Surely this isn't the primary meaning of "tied together." -- Tavix (talk) 03:46, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

List of earthquakes in 2018

Delete per WP:TOOSOON. Page can be recreated when we have information about earthquakes in these years. -- Tavix (talk) 03:32, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Psychic tears

Delete, due to the fact that this term isn't described at the target article. -- Tavix (talk) 03:29, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Contain (disambiguation)

Target is a soft redirect to Wiktionary that has several "see also" entries on it. This page has "(disambiguation)" in the title, and the target is not a disambiguation page, so this should be deleted to leave the search engine free to find the page. Speedy declined. — Gorthian (talk) 03:09, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Conelrad (disambiguation)

A redirect with "(disambiguation)" in its title that no longer targets a dab page; it needs to be deleted as housekeeping. Speedy was declined. — Gorthian (talk) 03:03, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Google Browser

Ambiguous, it could refer to the default browser on Android, which is just called "Browser" but not sure if we have an article on that. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 05:58, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Google Space

I doubt the actual existence of some of these, but they may be plausible and a target may be able to be found for them. If such products actually exist, that is, but redirecting to Google is certainly no help. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 03:47, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed about Spaces. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:44, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Communist Party of Nepal (disambiguation)

Speedy was declined, so I bring this here. This page used to be a dab page, until it was moved to List of communist parties in Nepal as a result of a RM. That was over three years ago. Now, with "(disambiguation)" in its title and no dab page to target, it needs to be deleted. — Gorthian (talk) 02:59, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as nominated. The target is an article (a list article), and articles shouldn't be targets of (disambiguation) redirects. -- JHunterJ (talk)

Hozho

Not related to whatever language this is. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 02:06, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The language is Navajo. As in the prayer Hózhǫ́ naashá (in beauty I walk). The best spelling is hózhǫ́ , but hózhó is very common because it's hard to write hózhǫ́ without a Navajo keyboard. I think the only reason I added hózhó was because it was better than either hozho or hozhó. So I don't care whether it is kept or deleted. —Stephen (talk) 09:37, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Navajo. The term is used throughout that article, and explains it a little better than the Beauty article. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:25, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete them all This is not what the word means at all. Its just for dumb white people who want to sound cool and then come to our lands and think they know it, like I read that on wiki so it must be true. you dont know shit. delete. learn the true meaning. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.172.214.119 (talk • contribs) 01:06, December 3, 2016 (UTC)
  • delete all, Beauty is not a Navajo specific concept, so we do not need such redirect from another language. Also, we do not link more or less random words in foreign language to the language article. - Nabla (talk) 15:45, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Navajo, where it is described. -- Tavix (talk) 02:02, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Seraikistan, a movement against Punjabi and Pushto

Delete per WP:RDEL #3. This redirect is a remnant of a page move from Feb 2007, when a user apparently decided to share their personal opinion on Saraikistan by renaming the article. As this wasn't undone until six months later, it's conceivable there might be incoming external links, but I don't think this is very likely. – Uanfala (talk) 02:08, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

11 September 2002

Does not seem to be plausible, more likely people are not making a typo when they search for this. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 01:23, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Champion assert that "...more likely people are not making a typo when they search for this..." In fact the CIA symbolically chose to execute key raids in Pakistan on the first anniversary of September 11th, 2001. Those dozen or so individuals were then sent to the CIA's archipelago of sites where torture was routine. So, I disagree that this is an implausible search term. Geo Swan (talk) 08:33, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This date likely holds no specific connection to people, except, I guess, as "the year after 9/11", but that's not really a tangible topic of encyclopedic discussion. It's also a WP:XY, as it could point to September 11 or 2002. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 13:58, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
