This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on April 23, 2017.

😘

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 Air kiss. Having been relisted, the consensus is to retarget this to Air kiss instead of Kiss. When the topic came up about where it should be retargeted to, a couple of the users that !voted for Kiss expressed that they didn't have strong opinions. After the relisting the consensus became clearer that it should go to the more specific "Air kiss" page. (non-admin closure) Anarchyte (work | talk) 08:06, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Does this Emoji always represent flirtation? Mr. Guye (talk) 04:27, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: kiss or air kiss?

The result of the discussion was speedily deleted by User:RHaworth per WP:CSD#G7. (Non-admin closure.) Sideways713 (talk) 00:13, 26 April 2017 (UTC) (I wonder if it shouldn't have pointed to Schutzstaffel...)[reply]

No sense. Mr. Guye (talk) 20:49, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Confession: It was a joke, based on voice effects in Wolfenstein 3D (where "Gestapo" sounded like "Hubbabba"). Not a serious contribution. /Yvwv (talk) 09:10, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Taken to WP:CSD. I like jokes, but tend to get told off for mine in discussion pages, let alone in the article namespace. I didn't find it very funny in either sense. Listed at CSD. Si Trew (talk) 03:38, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What is this nonsense? This is obviously a heavy metal umlaut, not a German-language umlaut for which "ue" is an alternative spelling.  ‑ Iridescent 20:00, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This has actually gone through a start-up by User:Eubot from Brütal Legend, User:Addbot has then fixed a double redirect on 13 Dec 2008 about six months later, User:RussBot has fixed it a another double redirect about six weeks later, and then it comes here via human editor. For all practical purposes this is a eubot creation, but it has gone round the houses by two other bots since. Delete. I don't think it is quite a Metal umlaut in the sense of a band that uses that (lefe there starts " a diacritic that is sometimes used gratuitously or decoratively over letters in the names of hard rock or heavy metal bands"), the nearest I get to that is the Radio 4 UK Theme), but definitely it is not a Germanic umlaut, it is just a stylistic mark as the cover pic clearly shows. Si Trew (talk) 03:44, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
'Comment I have been told off for more than once recently for not doing my homework and for saying eubot is not a reason for deletion. I do not know which slap I should give to User:Iridescent

for this one. Si Trew (talk) 03:47, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually since I am trying to be light-hearted perhaps I should created the Radio 4 üK Theme. Thanks very much to you all for listing these eubot ones, if only accidentally, while I have been staying away on nobody's advice but my own to stop flooding RfD with eubot ones. I do try to strike a balance, cos I know it floods. I tend to be on different shifts from those in the US, Canada and the Far East and even in the UK by a bit, so I tend to list when I think other people aren't listing. Thanks for listing them. One more down the pan, I think. Si Trew (talk) 03:51, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) Anarchyte (work | talk) 08:08, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See Warren truss. This is an old and miscapitalised version of Warren truss bridge, a legit redirect to a section. No inbound links from mainspace. This would have been a WP:CSD#R3, except that it's not newly created. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:28, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

... but its target should match Warren truss bridge. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:01, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like it does now. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 11:16, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
But that is no reason to have a redirect. MediaWiki deals with mapping such searches onto a flattened case-space, we don't need to build redirects for each and every article, so we shouldn't do it exceptionally for this one. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:21, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes it is. {{R from other capitalisation}} if you want, I have not checked it is marked that way. MediaWiki does indeed flatten case-space, but does not particularly do a good job of flattening other case-spaces outside of the basic Latin alphabet, which is why eubot was told without approval by its owner to go ahead and make thirty thousand redirects for flattening case-spaces into other case-spaces. If I were to bring something here with a statement "we don't need it, the search engine will do it", I would get very short shrift from User:Thryduulf and so on saying "Not everyone searches in the same way. There are external searches, external links", and so on. If it is not done so already, I will mark as {{R from other capitalisation}}. (Or {{R from other capitalization}} if you want the {{R from other spelling}} of {{R from other capitalisation}}). You haven't a WP:SNOWBALL here. Si Trew (talk) 03:58, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I tagged it just now as {{R from other capitalisation}}, not more than two seconds ago, before seeing your comment. Already tagged as Rmove, taken out the dup of it I added just after seeing your comment. Si Trew (talk) 07:02, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ademo

The result of the discussion was disambiguate. --BDD (talk) 13:53, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned at target article. Launchballer 18:06, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep. Ademo is a taxonomic synonym of Euphorbia, but a pretty obscure one. It's not listed in the 3 botanical databases that are my usual go tos for checking synonyms (Tropicos, The Plant List, IPNI). It is listed in GRIN though. Plantdrew (talk) 15:55, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Calling User:Plantdrew. Thanks for your expertise there, as always. I was wondering could it possibly be confused for Oedema or Edema I think the US Spelling? Should we DAB it? Those are not botanical of course, unless you're a herbalist. It seems a long way out at first glance, but vowels are easily confused in hearing, not so much in writing. Si Trew (talk) 04:01, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disambiguate or retarget. In addition to the botanical use I found two more prominent uses through Google - Ademo is the stage name of one of the PNL (band) duo and the primary hit on Google. Ademo Freemen is one of the two key people in Cop Block. There isn't much difference in google prominence and I wouldn't be surprised if the order was reversed for some people). If retargetting is chosen then I think PNL (band) is the better target but Euphorbia and Cop Block should be linked as hatnotes. Thryduulf (talk) 08:56, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, junk redirect. Blood isn't spelled with zeroes. -- Tavix (talk) 16:42, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete unless this is the stylized title of some media, this isn't useful. It's also not listed in Leet speak examples. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 11:24, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Deleet per nom and AngusWOOF. As far as I could tell, this spelling isn't used in any enwiki article, so there's probably nowhere to retarget it. Sideways713 (talk) 13:14, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Created by an indefinitely blocked account if you check the history, indefinitely since 2009. There are more than 250 redirects but fewer than 500 created between 6 December 2009, and 24 December 2009 when this user was indefinitely blocked. Some probably have been heavily edited in the eight years since, such as Naturally, but some can probably be thrown on the woodpile. Si Trew (talk) 04:04, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The only use I could find that would be a potential target is a band with this name, but further investigation makes it clear they are not notable. The rest of the google hits are partial title matches of non-notable musical recordings or OCR errors from 1970s documents. Thryduulf (talk) 09:00, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jikkyō Powerful Pro Yakyū series

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 Keep per WP:SNOWBALL. (non-admin closure) by Si Trew (talk) 07:14, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Jikkyō Powerful Pro Yakyū series redirect serves no purpose because: it is the incorrect format of the series name, the incorrect name of the series, it is impossible to type using a standard QWERTY keyboard, and there is a pre-existing redirect called Jikkyo Pawafuru Puro Yakyu as the correct alternate redirect. Iftekharahmed96 (talk) 20:40, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural nomination, rationale taken from here ~ GB fan a "frantic, furious ball of anger" 13:06, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is a redirect from a move. The article was at this name from creation in 2006 until the nominator moved it earlier this year. In those 11 years it is possible that external websites linked to the article under that name. There are over 100 articles that this redirect link to. Obviously other editors thought this was a useful title for the 11 years at this title. ~ GB fan a "frantic, furious ball of anger" 13:20, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Regardless of whether it's correct, it seems to be a valid search term. The nomination would be fine if we're talking about an article title or something, but this is fine as a redirect. Sergecross73 msg me 13:34, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - {{R from move}}. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:23, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

The Power Pro Kun Pocket series redirect serves no purpose because: it is the incorrect format of the series name, and there is a pre-existing redirect for the Japanese title called Pawapoke as the correct alternate redirect. Iftekharahmed96 (talk) 20:41, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural nomination rationale taken from here ~ GB fan a "frantic, furious ball of anger" 13:05, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is a redirect from a move. The article existed at this title from creation in 2008 until earlier this year when the nominator moved it. There is a possibility that external links to the old title may have been created in those 9 years. The redirect still links to two articles. Obviously other editors thought the title was helpful during the 8+ years it stayed at this title. There is no harm in allowing the redirect to remain. ~ GB fan a "frantic, furious ball of anger" 13:13, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Regardless of whether it's correct, it seems to be a valid search term. The nomination would be fine if we're talking about an article title or something, but this is fine as a redirect. Sergecross73 msg me 13:35, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading and not useful as there is no list of trophies at the target. Such a list would not be maintainable anyway as there are over 30,000 PS3 trophies. The1337gamer (talk) 12:42, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Leftover from page move of a now deleted page (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of PlayStation 3 games without trophy support). This redirect was retargeted to PlayStation 3 prior to the page's deletion; not sure why. Its current target has no such list on so it's not a useful redirect.

It's time to start bundling these in large groups because there's still a lot of them out there. All of these redirects are the result of what I call a "faulty crystal ball". As these years have already passed, it's impossible for these films to be released that year. It's implausible that someone would type these redirects in the search bar due to the incorrect year disambiguation. I'd also say these are misleading as they don't redirect to a film article, rather (in most cases) a rumored director, actor, or studio (sometimes a novel, etc.) with no mention of these films. -- Tavix (talk) 01:39, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note to closer: A raw list is on the talk page. -- Tavix (talk) 15:14, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
