This is an old revision of this page, as edited by BD2412 (talk | contribs) at 14:16, 18 July 2024 (→‎Tighten: *'''Retarget''' to Tight seems fine to me.

The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on July 16, 2024.

Werewolves in fiction

This currently points to List of werewolves, but Werewolf fiction exists. I tend to think the list should just be merged into that article, though the result would be somewhat lengthy. I am open to alternatives. BD2412 T 21:39, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Werewolf fiction as the new target is a simple rearrangement of the redirect name. Merging the two articles is probably something that should be done; however, that's outside the scope of an RfD discussion. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 00:32, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to Werewolf fiction as more plausible synonym --Lenticel (talk) 01:51, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Red Caesar

Caesar is mentioned in the target article, but not Red Caesar. – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 21:34, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • The creation summary cites this Philadelphia Enquirer article which makes the connection to dictatorship explicit, but it's too general a target to be useful. The only mention of the term on Wikipedia is at Talk:Claremont Institute#Promotion of "Red Caesar" ideology where, citing an article in The Guardian dated four days prior to the Philadelphia Inquirer one (1 and 5 October 2023 respectively), an IP editor asked "Should we add the fact that the Claremont Institute has been promoting a "Red Caesar" ideology (i.e., a ruler who would nullify the U.S.'s traditional democratic norms)?" but got no reply. Both articles cite the Claremont Institute as the origin of the term and ideal. Given the number of search results the term gets we should probably have some content about it, but unless and until we do the redirect is not helpful so delete until some content is written. Thryduulf (talk) 00:12, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Anoushka Sunak, Krishna Sunak, Usha Sunak and Yashvir Sunak

Delete because these names of non-notable close family members of former UK prime minister Rishi Sunak have recently been removed from his article per WP:BLPNAME, and because the categories on these redirects may lead readers to draw conclusions. -- DeFacto (talk). 19:53, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2025 FIVB Men's Volleyball Nations League

No mentioned at the target page and per WP:FUTURE. 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂[𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙺] 04:56, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pignas

unlikely misspelling of "pingas"? if it's not deleted, i'll suggest retargeting to youtube poop, while i make a not as misspelled redirect to it cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 12:37, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

oh wait, "pingas" is already a redirect to a dab. leave that one as is (give or take a mention of it in the dab), or retarget it to ytp? cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 12:40, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Target to dab and tag as misspelling and avoided double redirect. My first instinct was to delete, but given the correctly spelled title exists, might as well target to where the correctly spelled title goes. (As for plausibility, is swapping the location of two characters next to each other really that implausible of a typing error? After all, I've done taht plenty of timse.)

The two Johns

what makes those two specific johns "the", as opposed to john and john from john and john, or any other combination of two johns? doesn't seem related to "gigantic (a tale of two johns)", which is about those two specific johns, but doesn't necessarily make those of all johns "the" cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 13:39, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:San Diego Clippers (NBA)

Procedural renomination at the correct venue. Previously nominated at MfD by User:Intrisit here with rationale: Created out of an AFC script which I have no idea why. It doesn't seem to align with WP:RPURPOSE than its mainspace rdr counterpart which does the job anyway. Redundant redirect that must go! Nickps (talk) 17:29, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Taking off my procedural nom hat now, I think that no valid rationale for deletion is presented. Not opening this RfD at all per WP:NOTBURO was an option, but I want to use RfD to put an end to nom's attempts to delete the redirect out of process. Nickps (talk) 20:21, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nationalparken

Nationalparken means "national park" in both Danish and Swedish and does not necessarily refer to this park in particular (e.g. uses at [1], [2]). If we have any aggregated List of national parks in Scandinavia type articles that would be an appropriate target, but I wasn't able to find any that include both Denmark and Sweden. signed, Rosguill talk 15:11, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shawn "Source" Jarrett

Jarrett is a specific record producer; redirecting his name to the concept of a record producer isn't helpful at all, especially when he isn't mentioned anywhere in the article. This redirect should be deleted. Sock (tock talk) 13:47, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Not helpful to readers. He appears to exist, but an article about him do not. Ca talk to me! 14:58, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yogu

seems to refer to one of two yogurt brands that aren't notable, or a thing nestlé did once that is also not notable. doesn't seem to be a commonly used abbreviation, and if it's just an unfinished word, then why even make a redire cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 13:44, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fruit bottom

originally a short essay about putting fruit at the bottom of yogurt to make it taste like yogurt with fruit on the bottom, currently mentioned in passing in the target. however, putting fruit at the bottom of things is not a concept exclusive to yogurt (though it might be the primary topic), and the title implies it's about the bottom of fruit (whatever that means for most of them). torn between voting to delete as vague, or as broken english cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 13:28, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

will mention fruit at the bottom, an album that doesn't appear to have a lot in common with yogurt. i think a redirect could be made in sentence case and targeted to yogurt, with hatnotes on both articles, but "fruit bottom" could refer to obscure sex practices for all anyone knows cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 13:32, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft Al Gore

No mentions of this specific phrase in the target article. 2A0E:1D47:9085:D200:FC81:4199:A8ED:9666 (talk) 12:00, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lee Min-ho (singer)

Currently redirects to the dab page because two people named Lee Min-ho are singers: one is the member of Stray Kids Lee Know and the other is a more prominent actor Lee Min-ho. Which do you think is a more suitable target, Lee Know or the K-drama actor? ScarletViolet 💬 📝 11:48, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as is: Judging by the pageviews, Lee Min-ho is nearly 6 times more visited than Lee Know. However, it seems that Lee Min-ho is more known for being an actor than a singer, while Lee Know is primarily known for his K-Pop singing/dancing. Most readers would type Lee Min-ho (actor) instead of (singer). However, Lee Know is better known by his stage name than his real name. I think there is too much factors at play here to accurate judge the reader's intention, or WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. It shouldn't be deleted per Wikipedia:INCOMPDAB, which says to redirect to the more general disamb page if there is no primary topic. Ca talk to me! 15:12, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as is The standard for partial disamsbiguation is extremely high and this doesn't meet it. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:51, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as is per above. I don't think the standard for partial disambiguation should be as high as it is, but even by my standards there is no primary topic here. Thryduulf (talk) 17:34, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The base name is a singer so shouldn't it redirect there if the South Korean singer has been deemed the primary topic for the base name? If there is no primary topic the DAB should be moved to the base name. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:31, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shinespark

The section only mentions it once and in passing. No description of it is given. Also, this is a gameplay feature and not a character. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:29, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tighten

not entirely sure megamind as a franchise has dominion over the public perception of this specific word, or that tight would be a good target cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 15:47, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to wikt:tighten and hatnote to the previous target, essentially per nom. Duckmather (talk) 18:12, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguate. Per WP:SSRT, only topics with a less-than-encyclopedic scope that are commonly wikified words or that are repeatedly recreated should become soft redirects (emphases mine). This word is neither commonly wikified (indeed, there are no mainspace links that point to it), nor has it been repeatedly recreated. But because it might reasonably be a search term for multiple items on Wikipedia, and none seem like an easy primary topic, a dab page should suffice. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 23:12, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • What would you place on a disambiguation page for this term? There are over 10,000 uses of tighten (or variants like tightens, tightened, and tightening) in the mainspace. I couldn't review them all, but from what I did see, there aren't enough candidates to justify creating a disambiguation page. - Eureka Lott 04:35, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Like Eureka Lott, I struggled to find alternative candidates to list on a DAB page. I concur with Red-tailed hawk that a soft redirect is unhelpful here. In the absence of other suitable targets, I see no reason to change from the present one. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 23:50, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - agreeing with Presidentman, unless there's a few good suggestions for the contents of a DAB, I think it should remain as-is. I don't think the existing redirect is helpful to many people, but I don't think moving it to anywhere else would be an improvement either, so keep. BugGhost🪲👻 10:57, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notorious Software Patents

Unused (no pageviews in 90 days) redirect of unlikely editorialization and capitalizaiton. Nat Gertler (talk) 04:16, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The list does say some patents have "achieved notoriety in other ways", but not all patents listed are "notorious" (if we are editorializing here), and the list isn't about patent controversies anyways. Misleadings and unlikely search term. Ca talk to me! 06:27, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not WP:NPOV. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 13:20, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
FYI redirects do not need to be neutral per WP:RNEUTRAL. Ca talk to me! 14:59, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Some software patents have been described as "notorious" by reliable sources, so it is a reasonable search term, and it is reasonable (and not uncommon) for a more specific search term to redirect to a broader article. However someone using this search term is almost certainly looking for either a list of software patents that are (or have been called) notorious or information on what makes a software patent notorious, but that information is not in the target article or the main article about software patents, making the redirect misleading. Thryduulf (talk) 15:54, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I know I'm going against the grain here, but... for starters, I agree that this is a plausible search term. I also agree that redirects need not follow the NPOV naming policy, and in fact, POV article names are best as redirects. Where I disagree with the above !votes is the idea that the target article is not the best place to get information on notorious software patents. I've read the article/list... and while it does include some non-notorious patents, it definitely includes the notorious ones as well. From where I'm standing, that means that this article provides the information the searcher is looking for, and that's the job of a redirect. Fieari (talk) 04:38, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Fieari: while it might include the notorious patents, you can only know that if you already know which software patents are notorious (so the article tells you nothing you don't already know). If you want to learn which are notorious then you will have had your time wasted at best (because the article doesn't tell you) or mislead into thinking they're all notorious. If you want to learn what makes software patents notorious, either in general or what makes specific ones notorious then again the article is of no benefit to you. In all cases the redirect misleads the searcher into to thinking we have content that we do not. Thryduulf (talk) 10:50, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Conditional Keep If a cited section is made at List_of_software_patents#Miscellaneous which explains the notoriety of certain software patents. Otherwise, delete as potentially vague at best. --Lenticel (talk) 02:11, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Acoustic punk

I disambiguated acoustic punk with links to acoustic music, folk punk, antifolk, and gypsy punk, however, it was restored to its original redirect, and there appears to be some confusion on the acoustic punk talk page, so am listing it here to get consensus on whether the redirect or disambiguation page is more appropriate. I feel like the disambiguation page would work better because folk music is acoustic, and folk punk, antifolk, and gypsy punk can be performed acousticly sans electric amplification. Moline1 (talk) 03:56, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As I explained on the talk page, this could perhaps be a broad concept article, but not a disambiguation page at present. None of these articles are ambiguously titled with the term "acoustic punk" and at present, none of them even so much as mention the term. If the articles are updated to provide some indication as to why they are suitable for inclusion on a dab for "acoustic punk", that could work as well, but otherwise a broad concept article is needed to provide context for these unambiguously titled articles. olderwiser 09:01, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to Moscow per the IP above. Moscow-City already exists and is appropriately targeted to the business center; it is important to consider that, according to the article, this is a romanization of a Russian term. This begs the question of how widespread usage of this term is in English usage. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 18:19, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to Moscow and add a hatnote. Google results make it clear that general uses of the city are the primary topic, the business centre/district is second but that doesn't support being the redirect target. Thryduulf (talk) 11:05, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    That could be because Google is treating "City" as a qualifier rather than part of the name. I'd question if someone typing "Moscow City" are looking for the city its self. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:37, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Searching instead for "Moscow City" -wikipedia (in an attempt to strongarm Google into giving me replies for "Moscow City" as a phrase instead of results for "the city named Moscow") made it bring up a lot more hits for Moscow International Business Center, though some results for Moscow itself (through phrases like "Moscow city government") did manage to leak through. People ARE calling Moscow International Business Center "Moscow City"-- and more importantly, given Google needs to find phrases like "Moscow city government" to bring up results for Moscow itself, people AREN'T referring to Moscow as Moscow City.
    I'd chalk up the far smaller *number* of results simply to the fact that a single business center is never going to be as notable as the capital city of Russia itself. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 19:19, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
