Linux filesystem

[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 File system#Linux. (non-admin closure) — Alpha3031 (tc) 05:25, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Linux file system does not exist and could possibly be ambiguous. We have Linux file systems -> File system which is fine as the plural almost universally refers to it in that context, but the singular form could refer to either file system or Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. From my memory it is not ambiguous in a text because the context is usually obvious, but this redirect may be if a reader who in unfamiliar with the topic looks it up. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 23:40, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Struck my remarks about the plural, see [1] as an example. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 00:05, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's from the file systems redirect. I'll fix that. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 00:02, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Second Amendment isn't discussed in the target, and legal issues relating to cannabis and firearms are only mentioned once in passing. A reader who searches for this is left none the wiser as to the connection between the two mostly unrelated topics. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 23:37, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Linda Wong (singer) is also an actress, and unlike the pornographic actress, is a living person. The redirect should therefore be retargeted there, or otherwise to Linda Wong, the dab page. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 22:59, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. ~ Amory (utc) 11:17, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure that this is a real concept - redirect arises from an article which had one unsourced sentence and a gallery of passport images, tagged as "unsourced, OR, fiction", then just "unsourced", then redirected to the article about the passports. PamD 22:11, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Leaning delete Citizenship of the European Union exists because an actual treaty among EU members (the Maastricht Treaty) defined the concept. There is no parallel among CARICOM treaties. There are three use cases of the phrase "CARICOM citizenship" out there (no one uses the phrase "citizenship of the Caribbean Community"):
    1. An aspirational proposal for a form of honorary citizenship in 1987 [2], that apparently never went anywhere
    2. A careless & legally meaningless turn of phrase by the promoters who refer clients to citizenship-by-investment (CIP) programs [3]
    3. A proposal to give some new CARICOM body a mandate to regulate member states' citizenship matters, because of problems with CIP programs [4]
There really do not seem to be enough sources about this concept (rather than just using the phrase without defining it) to even give it a section in Caribbean Community, since nearly anything you could say (including everything I've said above) is WP:OR. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 02:41, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. It's a little weak, but despite some of the wishy-washy comments, keep is the only real consensus here. ~ Amory (utc) 11:15, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is ambiguous, can refer to many things B dash (talk) 14:24, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment can refer to many things The only competing target at calm (disambiguation) is calmness. Nothing else there can take -s as a suffix. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 23:47, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. per the IP as "calms" isn't a good search term for "calmness" but it absolutely is for the ITCZ. There is a frequently used acronym in the field of DevOps but we don't have any content about it that I can find and I'm not immediately convinced of its notability or encyclopaedic relevance anyway. Thryduulf (talk) 18:22, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Send to disambiguation at Calm or keep. On its own, "calms" may be a plural noun or a singular verb, making it possible that the reader could be looking for calmness or something else on the existing disambiguation page. I agree though that one is more likely to search for a noun than a verb, so I can see why Intertropical Convergence Zone is a tad more plausible and I won't oppose keeping.

  • I was about to !vote "keep" on account of the fact that among the entries on the dab page only the current target can be referred to as "calms" (the plural can be used figuratively for a variety of situations, but none of them seem to overlap with Calmness, which is about the mental state). But then I looked up the term in a dictionary (OED), and it turns out that "calm" can also be a countable noun referring to: 1) cames of a window pane; 2) heddles of a loom; 3) a mould for casting metal objects (and the source of the expression "in the calms" meaning "in a state of contstruction"). I've added the first two to the dab page Calm (but not the the third one as it appears to be obsolete). However, I don't think we should be retargeting there: only three of the two dozen entries are relevant, so if "disambiguation" is preferred, then it had better be done with a separate page. I don't know if I would go for disambiguating though: the current target is the primary topic for the plural term and readers looking for any of the other two are most likely to type the singular after all. – Uanfala (talk) 16:22, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Title not mentioned at target. I know that these two subjects are related, but I'm not sure in what way. I read it was a police program to target high-level drug personalities ([5]) but I am not sure if it is the same exact thing as the drug war.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  01:47, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Typos or misspellings that differ from the correct spelling by only one letter are not implausible and do no harm to the encyclopaedia. "Ceremon" doesn't seem to be a word in any language, so there's no risk that this might cause any confusion. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 23:33, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Seeking re-target to WP:Discussing cruft.As many AFD regulars will know, LISTCRUFT and all that stuff are immensely cited in AfDs and the new target provides a comprehensive outlook, rather than branding it as a ridiculous argument (which, it is not). WBGconverse 13:08, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
