Redirects for discussion (RfD) is the place where potentially problematic redirects are discussed. Items usually stay listed for a week or so, after which they are deleted, kept, or retargeted.

If you want to replace an unprotected redirect with an article, do not list it here. Turning redirects into articles is wholly encouraged. Be bold!
If you want to move a page but a redirect is in the way, do not list it here. For non-controversial cases, place a technical request; if a discussion is required, then start a requested move.
If you think a redirect points to the wrong target article, this is a good place to discuss the proper target.
Redirects should not be deleted just because they have no incoming links. Please do not use this as the only reason to delete a redirect. However, redirects that do have incoming links are sometimes deleted, so that is not a sufficient condition for keeping. (See § When to delete a redirect for more information.)

Please do not unilaterally rename or change the target of a redirect while it is under discussion. This adds unnecessary complication to the discussion for participants and closers.

Current and past redirects for discussion (RfD) discussions

Current discussions

Redirects that have been nominated for discussion are indexed by the day on which they were first listed.

Old discussions

After 7 days, RfDs nominations that have finished their discussion period are eligible to be closed following the deletion process.

Before listing a redirect for discussion

Please be aware of these general policies, which apply here as elsewhere:

Wikipedia:Redirect – what redirects are, why they exist, and how they are used.
Wikipedia:Speedy deletion – which pages can be deleted without discussion; in particular the "General" and "Redirects" sections.
Wikipedia:Deletion policy – how we delete things by consensus.
Wikipedia:Guide to deletion – guidelines on discussion format and shorthand.

The guiding principles of RfD

Shortcut

WP:RGUIDEWP:RGUIDE

The purpose of a good redirect is to eliminate the possibility that readers will find themselves staring blankly at "Search results 1–10 out of 378" instead of the article they were looking for. If someone could plausibly enter the redirect's name when searching for the target article, it's a good redirect.
Redirects are cheap. They take up little storage space and use very little bandwidth. It doesn't really hurt things if there are a few of them scattered around. On the flip side, deleting redirects is also cheap because recording the deletion takes up little storage space and uses very little bandwidth. There is no harm in deleting problematic redirects.
If a good-faith RfD nomination proposes to delete a redirect and has no discussion after at least 7 days, the default result is delete.
Redirects nominated in contravention of Wikipedia:Redirect will be speedily kept.
RfD can also serve as a central discussion forum for debates about which page a redirect should target. In cases where retargeting the redirect could be considered controversial, it is advisable to leave a notice on the talk page of the redirect's current target page or the proposed target page to refer readers to the redirect's nomination to allow input and help form consensus for the redirect's target.
Requests for deletion of redirects from one page's talk page to another's do not need to be listed here. Anyone can remove the redirect by blanking the page. The G6 criterion for speedy deletion may be appropriate.
In discussions, always ask yourself whether or not a redirect would be helpful to the reader.

When to delete a redirect

This page is transcluded from Wikipedia:Redirect/Deletion reasons. (edit | history)

Shortcuts

The major reasons why deletion of redirects is harmful are:

a redirect may contain non-trivial edit history;
if a redirect is reasonably old (or is the result of moving a page that has been there for quite some time), then it is possible that its deletion will break incoming links (such as links coming from older revisions of Wikipedia pages, from edit summaries, from other Wikimedia projects or from elsewhere on the internet, do not show up in "What links here").

Therefore consider the deletion only of either harmful redirects or of recent ones.

Reasons for deleting

Shortcut

WP:RFD#DELETEWP:RFD#DELETE

You might want to delete a redirect if one or more of the following conditions is met:

The redirect page makes it unreasonably difficult for users to locate similarly named articles via the search engine. For example, if the user searches for "New Articles", and is redirected to a disambiguation page for "Articles" (itself a redirect to "Article"), it would take much longer to get to the newly added articles on Wikipedia.
The redirect might cause confusion. For example, if "Adam B. Smith" was redirected to "Andrew B. Smith", because Andrew was accidentally called Adam in one source, this could cause confusion with the article on Adam Smith, so the redirect should be deleted.
The redirect is offensive or abusive, such as redirecting "Joe Bloggs is a Loser" to "Joe Bloggs" (unless "Joe Bloggs is a Loser" is legitimately discussed in the article), or "Joe Bloggs" to "Loser". (Speedy deletion criterion G10 and G3 may apply.) See also § Neutrality of redirects.
The redirect constitutes self-promotion or spam. (Speedy deletion criterion G11 may apply.)
The redirect makes no sense, such as redirecting "Apple" to "Banana". (Speedy deletion criterion G1 may apply.)
It is a cross-namespace redirect out of article space, such as one pointing into the User or Wikipedia namespace. The major exception to this rule are the pseudo-namespace shortcut redirects, which technically are in the main article space. Some long-standing cross-namespace redirects are also kept because of their long-standing history and potential usefulness. "MOS:" redirects, for example, were an exception to this rule until they became their own namespace in 2024. (Note also the existence of namespace aliases such as WP:. Speedy deletion criterion R2 may apply if the target namespace is something other than Category:, Template:, Wikipedia:, Help:, or Portal:.)
If the redirect is broken, meaning it redirects to an article that does not exist, it can be immediately deleted under speedy deletion criterion G8. You should check that there is not an alternative place it could be appropriately redirected to first and that it has not become broken through vandalism.
If the redirect is a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name that is not mentioned in the target, it is unlikely to be useful. In particular, redirects in a language other than English to a page whose subject is unrelated to that language (or a culture that speaks that language) should generally not be created. (Implausible typos or misnomers are candidates for speedy deletion criterion R3, if recently created.) The message template {{subst:not mentioned}} may be useful.
If the target article needs to be moved to the redirect title, but the redirect has been edited before and has a history of its own, then the title needs to be freed up to make way for the move. If the move is uncontroversial, tag the redirect for G6 speedy deletion, or alternatively (with the suppressredirect user right; available to page movers and admins), perform a round-robin move. If not, take the article to Requested moves.
Shortcut
- WP:RETURNTOREDWP:RETURNTORED
If the redirect could plausibly be expanded into an article, and the target article contains virtually no information on the subject.
If the redirect ends in "(disambiguation)" but does not target a disambiguation page or a page performing a disambiguation-like function (such as a set index of articles). Speedy deletion criterion G14 may apply.

Reasons for not deleting

Shortcut

WP:RFD#KEEPWP:RFD#KEEP

However, avoid deleting such redirects if:

They have a potentially useful page history, or an edit history that should be kept to comply with the licensing requirements for a merge (see Wikipedia:Merge and delete). On the other hand, if the redirect was created by renaming a page with that name, and the page history just mentions the renaming, and for one of the reasons above you want to delete the page, copy the page history to the Talk page of the article it redirects to. The act of renaming is useful page history, and even more so if there has been discussion on the page name.
They would aid accidental linking and make the creation of duplicate articles less likely, whether by redirecting a plural to a singular, by redirecting a frequent misspelling to a correct spelling, by redirecting a misnomer to a correct term, by redirecting to a synonym, etc. In other words, redirects with no incoming links are not candidates for deletion on those grounds because they are of benefit to the browsing user. Some extra vigilance by editors will be required to minimize the occurrence of those frequent misspellings in article text because the linkified misspellings will not appear as broken links; consider tagging the redirect with the {{R from misspelling}} template to assist editors in monitoring these misspellings.
They aid searches on certain terms. For example, users who might see the "Keystone State" mentioned somewhere but do not know what that refers to will be able to find out at the Pennsylvania (target) article.
Deleting redirects runs the risk of breaking incoming or internal links. For example, redirects resulting from page moves should not normally be deleted without good reason. Links that have existed for a significant length of time, including CamelCase links (e.g. WolVes) and old subpage links, should be retained in case there are any existing links on external pages pointing to them. Please tag these with {{R from old history}}. See also Wikipedia:Link rot § Link rot on non-Wikimedia sites.
Someone finds them useful. Hint: If someone says they find a redirect useful, they probably do. You might not find it useful—this is not because the other person is being untruthful, but because you browse Wikipedia in different ways. Evidence of usage can be gauged by using the wikishark or pageviews tool on the redirect to see the number of views it gets.
The redirect is to a closely related word form, such as a plural form to a singular form.

Neutrality of redirects

Shortcut

WP:RNEUTRALWP:RNEUTRAL

Just as article titles using non-neutral language are permitted in some circumstances, so are such redirects. Because redirects are less visible to readers, more latitude is allowed in their names, therefore perceived lack of neutrality in redirect names is not a sufficient reason for their deletion. In most cases, non-neutral but verifiable redirects should point to neutrally titled articles about the subject of the term. Non-neutral redirects may be tagged with {{R from non-neutral name}}.

Non-neutral redirects are commonly created for three reasons:

Articles that are created using non-neutral titles are routinely moved to a new neutral title, which leaves behind the old non-neutral title as a working redirect (e.g. ClimategateClimategate → Climatic Research Unit email controversy).
Articles created as POV forks may be deleted and replaced by a redirect pointing towards the article from which the fork originated (e.g. Barack Obama Muslim rumorBarack Obama Muslim rumor → deleted and now redirected to Barack Obama religion conspiracy theories).
The subject matter of articles may be represented by some sources outside Wikipedia in non-neutral terms. Such terms are generally avoided in Wikipedia article titles, per the words to avoid guidelines and the general neutral point of view policy. For instance the non-neutral expression "AttorneygateAttorneygate" is used to redirect to the neutrally titled 2006 dismissal of U.S. attorneys. The article in question has never used that title, but the redirect was created to provide an alternative means of reaching it because a number of press reports use the term.

The exceptions to this rule would be redirects that are not established terms and are unlikely to be useful, and therefore may be nominated for deletion, perhaps under deletion reason #3. However, if a redirect represents an established term that is used in multiple mainstream reliable sources, it should be kept even if non-neutral, as it will facilitate searches on such terms. Please keep in mind that RfD is not the place to resolve most editorial disputes.

Closing notes

Nominations should remain open, per policy, about a week before they are closed, unless they meet the general criteria for speedy deletion, the criteria for speedy deletion of a redirect, or are not valid redirect discussion requests (e.g. are actually move requests).

How to list a redirect for discussion

Shortcut

WP:RFDHOWTOWP:RFDHOWTO

STEP I.

Tag the redirect(s).

Enter {{subst:rfd|content= at the very beginning of the redirect page you are listing for discussion and enter }} at the very end of the page.

Does this look too complicated?
Try this semi-automated process instead: (note only confirmed users can use this)

Enable Twinkle in the Gadgets tab of your preferences.
Go back to the redirect page, and choose "XFD" from the new Twinkle menu.
Fill in the form and submit it.

Please include in the edit summary the phrase:
Nominated for RfD: see [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion]].
Please do not mark the edit as minor (m).
Save the page ("Publish changes").
If you are unable to edit the redirect page because of protection, this step can be omitted, and after step 2 is completed, a request to add the RFD template can be put on the redirect's talk page.
If the redirect you are nominating is in template namespace, consider adding |showontransclusion=1 to the RfD tag so that people using the template redirect are aware of the nomination. If it is an inline template, use |showontransclusion=tiny instead.
If you are nominating multiple redirects as a group, repeat all the above steps for each redirect being nominated and specify on {{rfd}} the nomination's group heading from Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion

STEP II.

List the entry on RfD.

Click here to edit the section of RfD for today's entries.

Enter this text below the date heading:

{{subst:Rfd2|redirect=RedirectName|target=TargetArticle|text=The action you would like to occur (deletion, re-targeting, etc.) and the rationale for that action.}}

~~~~

For this template:
- Put the redirect's name in place of RedirectName, put the target article's name in place of TargetArticle, and include a reason after text=.
- Note that, for this step, the "target article" is the current target of the redirect (if you have a suggestion for a better target, include this in the text that you insert after text=).
Please use an edit summary such as:
Nominating [[RedirectName]]
(replacing RedirectName with the name of the redirect you are nominating).
To list multiple related redirects for discussion, use the following syntax. Repeat line 2 for N number of redirects:

{{subst:Rfd2|redirect=RedirectName1|target=TargetArticle1}}

{{subst:Rfd2|multi=yes|redirect=RedirectName2|target=TargetArticle2}}

{{subst:Rfd2|multi=yes|redirect=RedirectNameN|target=TargetArticleN|text=The actions you would like to occur (deletion, re-targeting, etc.) and the rationale for those actions.}}

~~~~

If the redirect has had previous RfDs, you can add {{Oldrfdlist|previous RfD without brackets|result of previous RfD}} directly after the rfd2 template.
If appropriate, inform members of the most relevant WikiProjects through one or more "deletion sorting lists". Then add a {{subst:delsort|<topic>|<signature>}} template to the nomination, to insert a note that this has been done.

STEP III.

Notify users.

It is generally considered good practice to notify the creator and main contributors of the redirect(s) that you nominate.

To find the main contributors, look in the page history of the respective redirect(s). For convenience, the template

{{subst:Rfd notice|RedirectName}} ~~~~

may be placed on the creator/main contributors' user talk page to provide notice of the discussion. Please replace RedirectName with the name of the respective creator/main contributors' redirect and use an edit summary such as:
Notice of redirect discussion at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion]].

Notices about the RfD discussion may also be left on relevant talk pages.

Please consider using What links here to locate other redirects that may be related to the one you are nominating. After going to the redirect target page and selecting "What links here" in the toolbox on the left side of your computer screen, select both "Hide transclusions" and "Hide links" filters to display the redirects to the redirect target page.

This version of the page may not reflect the most current changes.
Please purge this page to view the most recent changes.

Dekalb County, Georgia, United States

Dekalb County, Georgia, United States → DeKalb County, Georgia (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

This redirect is unlikely to be of any use to anyone. The county's name is spelled in CamelCase, i.e. "DeKalb County". The actual article was never located at this longer title. Additionally, the shorter titles Dekalb County, Georgia and DeKalb County, Georgia both exist and are unambiguous, and it is very unlikely that anyone will type out the additional "United States".

Keep/refine to sexual activity, neutral to other actions. There's no need to "censor" any word Deacon Vorbis suggested, only sex, so it is not ambiguous, and sex is not typically going to refer to sex as in the male/female spectrum, only sexual activity.

Mathing

Mathing → Mathematical proof (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

I'm not sure where the best target for this is. As some of you might know, "mathing" is a slang term that means "to do math", or alternatively "to make sense" (to have the math check out). Some possible targets include this one, Mathematics, or wikt:mathing. Duckmather (talk) 21:59, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Wiktionary redirect. Not a useful redirect; if you know this slang term but don't know "math" or "maths", how are you going to understand any potential target article? I expect that people looking for this term will be curious ("does Wikipedia have a page on this?") or will be learning about the term itself, and a Wiktionary redirect helps both of those groups. Nyttend (talk) 22:22, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Retarget both to accounting scandal. Whether an accounting scandal is corporate or not, it doesn't matter, but a corporate collapse and scandal can easily occur without an accounting scandal. And once again, WP:XY covers Redirects in the form "X and/or Y" that could equally point to multiple targets, such as Illness and death.

Delete per reason 10. There are many mentions of Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, but they are all in-text attributions instead of text discussing the organization itself.

Speedy delete, G6. It was at the invalid (and implausible search term) title for a few minutes immediately around creation time over 15 years ago. Keeping this around is a maintenance burden and serves no purpose. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:27, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
Given there are good-faith recommendations for a course of action other than deletion, this redirect is not eligible for speedy deletion. Separately, the title is not "invalid" - there are only three ways a title can be invalid:
- The title cannot exist (usually) for technical reasons (e.g. titles starting with #)
- The subject cannot exist (e.g. impossible chemical compounds).
- The name is prohibited by some formal naming authority (e.g. IUPAC, ICZN, etc)
In this case both the redirect and subject exist so the first two are unambiguously irrelevant. The third also does not apply because there is no formal authority for personal names or for disambiguators, the closest is Wikipedia's naming conventions but these are explicitly guidelines that redirects are not required to follow.

Whether the title is plausible is subjective and thus not a speedy deletion matter. Thryduulf (talk) 18:12, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

"not hurting anything" isn't a valid reason to keep a redirect, and there is a good reason to get rid of it -- it's useless, and useless redirects should be deleted. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 21:28, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
Keep per above explanations. A descriptive redirect page that accurately sends the reader to the proper figure is more useful than it is useless. That seems to be the case here.

One of these obviously needs to be retargeted. I just decided to create "Okay", and I targeted it at the first article that I encountered that seemed to make sense: Google Assistant, which can activated by saying "Okay Google", per the "Voices" section. But then, I thought to check "OK", and I found that it was targeted somewhere else: Google Search, which also can be activated by the same process. Which of these is a better target? I've never used the voice-activation feature (I have a flip phone, and I access Google on my laptop), so I don't know what's more sensible. Nyttend (talk) 05:08, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

27th United States Infantry Regiment (Civil War)

27th United States Infantry Regiment (Civil War) → 27th New York Infantry Regiment (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

27th Infantry Regiment (United States) refers to a unit created in 1901. Another 27th Infantry Regiment existed in the 1810s, and another from 1866-1869 but I don't believe that there was actually a 27th US Infantry unit in the regulars in the 1861-1865 period. The current target is a New York unit which would not have been known as the "27th United States Infantry Regiment", and many other states had a 27th Regiment in the Union army during the Civil War. The old content buried in the redirect history appears to just be a copy-and-paste from the public domain Dyer's Compendium rather than actual original article content; the article name is an error and is likely to cause confusion.

Retarget per J947. It's bizarre, but occasionally one encounters "first X" for the only appearance of X. Somewhere I have a coin of Umberto I of Italy inscribed "Umberto I Re D'Italia", although it predates the birth and reign of Umberto II of Italy. And see Pope Francis#Name, which mentions speculation that he would be known as "Pope Francis I" during his reign. I don't understand why "First X" would appear in such circumstances, but some people do use such terminology. Nyttend (talk) 05:57, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Emotional instability

Emotional instability → Borderline personality disorder (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

I don't think this should be a redirect; one can be emotionally unstable without having BPD or any specific personality disorder. Helpful Cat🐈(talk) 07:49, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

Retarget to either Emotional lability or Emotional dysregulation. Though the former doesn't doesn't use the word "(in)stability", lability identifies it as the opposite (antonym) of stability so it's semantically a match, and I think the description a sign or symptom typified by exaggerated changes in mood or affect in quick succession at Emotional lability may avoid too much surprise. Emotional dysregulation mentions the similar phrase "affective instability", using BPD as an example. (Note, "affect" and "emotion" are not synonyms, but are related concepts.) "Instability" is fairly clearly a type of "dysregulation", so I doubt anyone would be confused to end up there.

Redirecting this symptom to BPD is definitely not appropriate as this can be a symptom of various other conditions or even something neurotypical people may experience at times. Most of the uses of the phrase emotional instability within articles on Wikipedia don't appear to have anything to do with BPD. The search results are probably more helpful than the present target, so if it's not retargeted then it should be deleted rather than kept. – Scyrme (talk) 12:52, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

Isla Vista virus → Orthohantavirus#Classification (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Muleshoe virus → Orthohantavirus#Classification (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

I think these should be deleted per WP:RETURNTORED, though I'm not quite sure. All the other unclassified orthohantaviruses at Orthohantavirus#Classification are either redlinked or have articles. Per WP:NSPECIES#Viruses and similar forms, viruses are presumed notable only if they are accepted by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, which does list them both here as related, unclassified viruses. I believe this counts, even though they are not "species", but viruses are funny that way. These links appear only at Orthohantavirus#Classification, where they are MOS:CIRCULAR, and in a handful of 'See also' sections where redlinks would generally be removed. Note that an {{R with possibilities}} is an exception to MOS:CIRCULAR so if the decision is to 'keep' then the links don't necessarily have to be removed. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 17:45, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

These were previously species but abolished as species (due to incomplete sequence information: page 6) so I redirected them to the genus article, which maybe I shouldn't have done, since Oxbow virus was also a species and abolished but I didn't redirect it. These "former species" are of unclear notability and there aren't clear guidelines on what should be done with them. Ping @WhatamIdoing: as the main author of WP:NSPECIES. Velayinosu (talk) 02:16, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

I don't think the community has a single recommendation for this situation. WhatamIdoing (talk) 02:50, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

That was my impression (and I think it's reasonable the guideline doesn't address this particular situation). Isla Vista virus has 207 Google Scholar hits, which is more than all but two of the blue-linked unclassified viruses at Orthohantavirus#Classification, and Muleshoe virus has 89 GScholar hits, putting it about in the middle of the pack. To the extent that's a proxy for notability, it's not clear why these two are handled differently than all the others. I'll place a notice at Wikipedia talk:Notability (species) since this question may be of interest to others who are active there. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 16:49, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

weird thing to say for a redirect that actually gets plenty of views, but this is extremely vague. results were torn between too many ways to "make the money numbers happen more", none of which were synonymous with taxes. unless charging more for products, cutting back on superfluous expenses, and ~~enshittifying~~ mrbeastifying your youtube channel are somehow synonymous with taxes, in which case i guess i'm just wrong here lol

Not mentioned in the article. Purportedly an alternative designation of the road, according to a pre-2008 stub at this location. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 02:43, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

What do you mean by "a pre-2008 stub at this location"? I searched the internet for any signs that this highway ever existed, but I didn't find any that didn't just straight-up this list.

This revision. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 18:26, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Comment that old revision had a source, dated January 2006. I can't find a working archive from that date on the Internet Archive, but a later archive contains a copy of the 2008 edition. On page 117 of that edition it states that SR 147 had three previous numbers "FAS 147, "FAU 576" and "SR 41". Unfortunately the acronyms "FAS" and "FAU" are not defined anywhere in that section nor in the acronyms and abbreviations section on PDF page 10 (and there is nothing obviously relevant at the FAU dab page) so while it was clearly numbered 576 at some point "prior to December 31, 1991" someone who is more familiar with US road terminology will have to determine whether it was "State Route 576" or not. To that end, I'll alert Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. Roads to this discussion. Thryduulf (talk) 02:31, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

FWIW, PDF Page 231 of the January 2026 edition of the same document has the same information as above but with the addition of "SR 41A" as another previous designation. Thryduulf (talk) 02:41, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Retarget to Institutions of the European Union to match Government of the European Union. The governance of the EU is encompassed by several institutions besides the Commission.

Identitarian Christianity

Identitarian Christianity → Christian Identity (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Christian Identity is a very specific and peculiar Christian movement which propounds that white people are the true Hebrews and serpent seed doctrine, among other things. It is not called Christian Identitarianism. Searching the phrase "Identititarian Christianity", the results are entirely unrelated to the subject of this article, and are about the intersection of Christianity with modern nationalist movements and the identitarian movement, not Christian Identity. I cannot find any instance of a source using this phrase to refer to this target. The single link to it, that I removed, was using the phrase in a context totally unrelated to Christian Identity; this redirect is just confusing. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:50, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Delete entirely. If it's a completely different concept than Christian Identity (the movement) then readers and searchers may be misdirected into entering this Christian Identity article.

@Dudzcar, how likely would someone take the trouble of "misspelling" with these diacritical letters on English WP, which uses an alphabet devoid of diacritics?

I believe that this was created in error when @Wlsrudals seemingly attempted to move Shah Alam line to Shah Alam Line but probably couldn't due to technical reasons (see redirect edit history and moves of similar pages Kajang Line and Putrajaya Line). However, another user @~2026-14944-70 opposed an apparent attempt at deletion (diff) by Wlsrudals. Edit history of Shah Alam Line might also be useful for context. No mention of a "2" anywhere in the article as an alternative name for the target. Fork99 (talk) 04:38, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

"Shah Alam Line 2" is not used in any article to link it to the actual Shah Alam line article. I think having that redirect is unnecessary because a "Shah Alam Line 2" does not exist. I support deleting it. For the sake of conformity with the other articles for the railway lines in the Klang Valley Integrated Transit System, I do wish that the move from "Shah Alam line" to "Shah Alam Line" (with the capital L) is allowed and done.

Vague, this could also refer to Poker, which was contained in all of the top results on Google when I searched for this (with a total of 631,000 results). It may also be noted that L is located right next to "P", "O" and "K" on QWERTY keyboards, thus making it a not unlikely typo of Poker.

Posetal category

Posetal category → Thin category (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

The term "posetal category" is not commonly used, and it's unclear whether it means "thin category" or "poset seen as category". Also, when I searched on Google Scholar, the search results returned were: "Your search - "posetal category", "thin category" - did not match any articles published up to 2020.". Since the article was created in 2011, the fact that "posetal category" is another name for "thin category" might be influenced by the Wikipedia article. Therefore, I suggest delete this redirect. @慈居 and TakuyaMurata:I will ping the editor who discussed moving the posetal category to the thin category. For previous discussions, see Talk:Posetal category#Move to thin category. SilverMatsu (talk) 16:19, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

Poset category also links to a subsection of Partially ordered set. There are around 10 pages with links that may need correction or clarification if this is deleted. ASUKITE 16:35, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

Delete, by the way "poset category" will be typically understood as "category of posets (with whatever suitable choice of objects and morphisms)".

Perhaps might refer to the current target for now, but then I looked at other pages linking this redirect page. Turns out to be referring to tropical seasons also. Thought about dab-ifying the page, but then I thought discussion may come first before doing something else to it. Also, dunno which other entries when dab-ifying.

Oppose linking to disambiguation page - Not entire clear what you want but it seems that you want it to link to a disambiguation page. I live in Australia and get real tired of northerners writing that something happened in summer 2026. Your summer or my summer? So I replace it with something more universal and mention "WP:SEASON" in the edit summary. If the northerner reads my comment and follows the link, they then have to figure out where to go next. If they are new enough to not know about northern and southern hemisphere seasons then they are probably going to have trouble figuring out that next step to get to the actual policy that I am using. These links should be direct. Stepho  talk 03:10, 9 May 2026 (UTC)
Not entire clear what you want but it seems that you want it to link to a disambiguation page.
Not entirely true. Sorry for being less clear. I just drafted a disambiguation page hours ago (revision here). Hopefully, I'm clearer now about favoring dab-ification of the page. I'm thinking that "WP:SEASON" should be redirected to the dab-ified "WP:SEASONS".

I started this discussion because I wasn't sure which entries besides WP:NSEASONS and an associated football (soccer) season. Didn't realize (until I listed it) that WP:SEASON redirects to one of MOS guidelines.

These links should be direct.
The two redirects above "WP:SEASON(S)" have been inconsistent, leading to various meanings when wikilinking either. Why making direct targets? George Ho (talk) 03:46, 9 May 2026 (UTC)
Let me phrase it another way. If a new editor is confused enough to be making mistakes, then is it helpful to send them to a dab page where they have to play a guessing game about which policy I really meant? I want to link directly to a policy so that there is the least amount of guessing/confusion possible.

Also note that articles with links to dab pages soon get converted into links to the actual intended target. There are even bots that inform editors that they have added links to dab pages. If it is considered bad for article links then why would it be considered good in edit summaries and talk page discussions? Stepho  talk 02:03, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

Re: Your summer or my summer?, naturally, the answer to that will be "depends on which hemisphere the event took place in". But I will also note, for summer and winter, "summer 2026" can only be correct in the northern hemisphere and "winter 2026" can only be correct in the southern. Your summers require 2 calendar years to be listed, as do our winters. ~2026-28403-75 (talk) 20:22, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
Not quite. If an article said that a new car was released world-wide in Spring 2020, then it is not clear which hemisphere that Spring is in. The reader has to chase back to the reference and find out which hemisphere the source came from. Sometimes it's even harder when, say, an Australian reference is quoting verbatim something that was said in a Northern context (eg, reporting on a quote said at a US trade show about a global release of a new car). Even when the source is explicitly mentioned in the article (eg "released in the US in Spring 2020"), us poor second class citizens in the south now have to do stuff in our heads to translate north-speak into south-speak (ah yes, that "Spring 2020" event is really an autumn 2020 event which is really March-May 2020). When it's just so much easier to mention the month directly in the article or at least approximate it as the second quarter. Stepho  talk 23:59, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
I agree the plural should be a DAB page given that in mainspace the time of year and not the sport meaning is primary but changing it to the MOS page to match the singular would break many links. Crouch, Swale (talk) 22:14, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

Star Fox (2015 video game)

Star Fox (2015 video game) → Star Fox Zero (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Delete, this is a false statement, Star Fox Zero was released in 2016. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheSilksongPikmin (talk • contribs) 13:51, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Keep the article makes extensive mention of it being at E2 2015 and the Release section states (with a source) that The planned release date was announced by Nintendo for November 20, 2015. Both of these mean that it is very plausible for someone to be looking for the article using this title. There don't appear to be any other games by this title with a connection to 2015 so its unambiguous. Thryduulf (talk) 14:17, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
So do we need Hollow Knight: Silksong (2023 video game) then? It was delayed. Or (2019 video game) as it was shown at E3 2019? No, of course not. These brackets in articles are to signify the release date, Zero was not released in 2015 so this is a false redirect. Also, I heavily doubt anyone would plug-in this title, back in 2016 maybe, but not now. No one would remember the old release date and E3 appearance and not the title. TheSilksongPikmin (talk | contribs) 15:16, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
The most likely users are people seeing references in contemporary sources, but people do misremember (and contrary to your speculation, the stats show that people do use this redirect). Anyway, redirects do not have to be correct (see any of the redirects in Category:Redirects from incorrect disambiguation), Category:Redirects from incorrect names, etc), they just need to be plausible search terms. Whether other redirects should or should not exist is irrelevant to whether this one should. Thryduulf (talk) 15:50, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

The Italy Republic

The Italy Republic → Italy (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Unlike The Italian Republic, this redirect barely has any pageviews (14 since its creation in March 2025); I attribute this low number due to the combination of using "Italy" as an adjective + the unnecessary "The" before it. Delete as provably improbable as a search term. 𝔅𝔦𝔰-𝔖𝔢𝔯𝔧𝔢𝔱𝔞? 12:18, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

Keep. Low page views or a low likelyhood of someone using a redirect are no valid reasons for deletion. "The Italy Republic" is a somewhat reasonable search term that is not too niche (which also wouldn't be a reason for deletion), far-fetched, or unintuitive. Also see WP:CHEAP. Maxeto0910 (talk) 12:33, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

If page views are that low, it's easily attributable to "background noise" (ETA: I wrote an essay on this concept, WP:BACKGROUNDNOISE), i.e. the redirect attaining page views just by virtue of it existing (e.g. editors clicking on "What links here" and finding it there). It's not completely unreasonable, as you correctly said, but I find it very improbable (not unreasonable per se) as a search term, per its wording and page views. 𝔅𝔦𝔰-𝔖𝔢𝔯𝔧𝔢𝔱𝔞? 12:45, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

Sure, it's an improbable search term, as evidenced by the page views, yes. But that's neither a valid reason for deletion nor do I think deleting a (theoretically) somewhat reasonable redirect would be an improvement over keeping it. Maxeto0910 (talk) 12:51, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

Keep most; retarget "Pakistano" and "Pakistana" to Pakistanis. The conclusion that these redirects should be deleted, based off an essay, is nonsensical when Plaza de Pakistán and Pakistānas kebabs are article titles. "Pakistán" receives comparable views to Plaza de Pakistán, yet while the latter justifies an article (and would justify a redirect were it not the article title) the former apparently doesn't even justify a redirect. On Spanish Wikipedia, the "Pakistán" receives 700 times the views of "Plaza de Pakistán". Yet we're expected to believe the square has many times greater affection to the Spanish language than the country? One might argue that Plaza de Pakistán should exist since it is likely to be encountered in English-language sources referring to the square. Yet "Pakistán" is much more likely to be encountered in English-language text. Restricting my Google results to English, I get 5.67 million results for "Pakistán" -wikipedia -plaza, compared to 1,570 results for "Plaza de Pakistán" -wikipedia. That suggests "Pakistán" is a much, much more likely search term for English speakers than "Plaza de Pakistán", so unless that one should be deleted as well I think this redirect should be kept.

The El → El train (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Would more expectable to be looking for El (i.e. El (deity)). Dudzcar (talk) 07:32, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Retarget to the disambiguation. I expected Chicago "L" to be primary, but googling "The El" -Wikipedia the primary topic is clearly "The El" a novel by Theodore C. Van Alst Jr.. It has a list entry at Chicago Review of Books#Fiction but that's not enough for a dab mention, let alone anchoring a redirect. I then tried searching for "The El" -Wikipedia -Theodore and there was nothing resembling a primary topic. I would expect my personalised search history to prioritise railway-related topics, so their lack of prominence is notable. Not a single one of the hits on the first three pages of either search were about the deity so that's definitely not primary by that measure. Wikinav shows that over 80% of viewers of the El dab page navigate to El (deity), but only 3% of readers get there from other articles. However there isn't a link from El train to El, so Wikinav can't tell us how many people using this redirect wanted a topic on the El disambig page. If kept we should definitely add a hatnote from El train to El, if it isn't kept then a link the see also might be appropriate. Thryduulf (talk) 11:21, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
Keep. I think either the current target, or perhaps Chicago's system, is going to be by far the primary topic when you attach the definite article to it. Nothing else at the dab page seems like it can be referred to this way. Search results are difficult to interpret; you get stuff like "The el nino" too, which isn't relevant here. And even if we had an article on the above mentioned novel, I'd still say keep here; the novel is merely named after the railway, which would still be primary. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 18:12, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
@Deacon Vorbis That means all other topics that are "The El" should be mentioned at El train, such as El (deity), and possibly Allah as well. Dudzcar (talk) 00:22, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

Taiwab

Taiwab → Taiwan (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Uncommon typo, very unlikely to be used A1Cafel (talk) 06:00, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Keep; in the 2 months of this redirect's existence, it has received ~ 10 views, which is a relatively decent amount of views for a typo in that short amount of time. Furthermore, I was able to find slightly fewer than 10,000 Google Search results for "Taiwab" (such as this, this and even one on another Wiki.) If even Wiki editors in another language can make this typo, then so can our readers. 𝔅𝔦𝔰-𝔖𝔢𝔯𝔧𝔢𝔱𝔞? 19:45, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
Delete, random typo, no more deserving of a redirect than the billions of other such analogous ones. Anyone making the typo should expect it not to work, and would immediately know why. Moreover, the top search result will already get them to the right article anyway; cf a search for "Taiwam", a similar typo. 5 views per month for such a highly viewed article is background noise. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 00:42, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
Anyone making the typo should expect it not to work, and would immediately know why. I do not think this is always true; people can type fast, and especially since this typo is at the very end of the word, fast typers would have already pressed the enter button before they could even see their typo, let alone correct it. The purpose of these misspelled redirects is to aid readers making such typos (see WP:RKEEP#K2); since this is a one-letter typo common to QWERTY and QWERTZ keyboards, the two most common ones in the world, it only convinces me this is a plausible typo.

no more deserving of a redirect than the billions of other such analogous ones. This is just an appeal that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS; the merits of this redirect should be judged by itself, not on the basis of possible future ones.

Also in fact Taiwam has a lot more search results on Google Search (~107,000) and similar redirects swapping N's for M's have been discussed and kept before (e.g. Ukraime and its discussion). See also WP:RTYPO which states that 1-letter typos should be assumed as plausible unless proven otherwise, which hasn't happened so far. 𝔅𝔦𝔰-𝔖𝔢𝔯𝔧𝔢𝔱𝔞? 12:47, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
For the record, I strongly disagree with RTYPO, but either way, this is part of a "common outcomes" listing, which tends to just document common outcomes, and shouldn't be treated as guidance in order to avoid a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy. Common practices can and do change over time. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:20, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

There is no tunnel by that name, along I-70 or anywhere else.

Weak Delete - This is a tricky one.

On the flip side, somebody searching for a person with the name Cheema might find it useful to look at the clan page for surrounding information.

Delete, being listed in the infobox is irrelevant (there's no particular reason why it should be...68 isn't). It's just a standard transcription of a number in a different language, and so fails FORRED. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 18:21, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
In the eyes of WP:R#DELETE, FORRED does not apply where there's a mention. FORRED is only mentioned as part of D8, and D8 only applies to redirects not mentioned at the target. Additionally, most of the rationale at FORRED doesn't apply where there's a mention. Editors might get confused about this redirect – no more than any other, since it's mentioned at the target. Readers might be confused by arbitrary non-English redirects – this isn't arbitrary, since it's mentioned. And so on. J 947 ‡ ^edits 23:23, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
[M]ost of the rationale at FORRED doesn't apply where there's a mention. Most is doing a lot in that sentence. FORRED says: "The presence of non-English language redirects creates the false impression that you can navigate the English Wikipedia in another language. If, for example, we had a redirect from Bodem (Dutch) to soil, a Dutch speaker might get the impression that our articles generally have Dutch redirects." This concern applies whether the redirect is mentioned at the target or not. You could argue that it's D8 that's defective here and not FORRED. Warudo (talk) 18:11, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
That rationale is already a bit of a non-argument – it's not specific to non-English redirects; with a bit of modification, it could apply to any class of redirect or indeed any class of article that is part of a group which is currently mostly red – but it's less strong still if the term is mentioned. If "bodem" were mentioned at soil, the reader would be much less likely to think that they can navigate enwiki in another language – just with those terms that are mentioned. The impression that terms that are mentioned warrant redirects is not a false one. J 947 ‡ ^edits 23:04, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
it's not specific to non-English redirects; with a bit of modification, it could apply to any class of redirect That's fair I guess. After all, an equally valid solution to the problem in this case would be to simply create the redirects for the rest of the numbers in Chinese numerals. Redirects from foreign numeral systems are already common practice (e.g. redirects to "2") but no one has complained about navigation issues so far. And as I've said below, I do think this is a valid redirect. I'll change my !vote to keep with retarget as a second preference. Warudo (talk) 23:30, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

there's no particular reason why it should be. It is helpful to our readers who might want to learn the different ways a number can be represented. I added the Chinese numeral representation to 68 (number) but if you ask me most number pages should have infoboxes like the one in 2. Warudo (talk) 23:26, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
Delete per nom; there's nothing particularly Chinese or Japanese about this number (or any natural number, for that matter), despite the name being listed in the infobox. It would be like redirecting soixante-neuf (which isn't red, because it redirects to the sex position article instead!), sesenta y nueve, or sessenta y nove to 69 (number). Duckmather (talk) 06:57, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
To me redirecting soixante-neuf to 69 (number) feels very different to redirecting 六十九 to it. The former is only the name of the number written in French. The latter, yes, is the name of the number in Chinese, Japanese and Korean but, because the characters are ideographic (like all numerals according to the lead of ideogram) it is also a direct representation of the number the same way 69, LXIX or ΞΘ´ are. I would accept this argument a lot easier if the nominated redirect was e.g. ろくじゅうきゅう or liùshíjiǔ. Warudo (talk) 23:02, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
My second preference is to Retarget to Chinese numerals (possibly with a hatnote to Japanese numerals) as an WP:ATD. This option does not fail FORRED because the target is obviously connected to the Chinese language and it helps readers because the page gives them enough information to decipher the numeral even with zero prior knowledge. Warudo (talk) 18:12, 12 May 2026 (UTC) edited at 23:31, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Delete per nom. It's also improper and unwarranted to have a whole page just to have a Chinese number redirect page going to the English version. I would also argue WP:RFOREIGN is suitable in this instance, in agreement with the nominator - as far as I can tell, numbers are not covered as exceptions to this rule. In general, applying a "reasonable person test" (very lawyer-y of me), I simply don't see any how anyone could be convinced to dedicate an entire redirect page just to a number. HarvardJock🏫 (talk) 05:59, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
We've got many articles on numbers, which are quite a bit more difficult to maintain than a redirect. J 947 ‡ ^edits 07:08, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

I simply don't see any how anyone could be convinced to dedicate an entire redirect page just to a number. As of writing this, there are 57 redirects to 2. A bunch of them are from foreign number systems. Redirects are WP:CHEAP. Warudo (talk) 17:11, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
Delete; I don't see any benefit to having Chinese/Japanese numeral redirects for all numbers, and I don't see any reason that 69 should have a redirect if we're not open to having them for all numbers. Note that the infobox has a special custom parameter for Chinese/Japanese here; it's not a "core part" of the number's identity in English, unlike the other forms given here.

It's unusual for stylisation choices to be mentioned in article prose as it's rarely significant.

Delete - Completely random and unproductive redirect page. The stylized spelling, or misspelling, is totally arbitrary and it doesn't warrant its own entire redirect page as a result. For this specific term, Bureau of Customs, I don't think this is even a commonly recognized stylized spelling. It's just taking up space. HarvardJock🏫 (talk) 05:09, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

It isn't totally arbitrary though. It is a form of stylization that is found in Europe for words that use "u" where it is replaced by "v"; and there is also the complementary stylization for replacing "j" with "i". It originates with sourcing the original Latin alphabet from which all latin alphabets descend. The affectation is supposed to be a "learned" affectation. -- ~2026-25149-07 (talk) 07:11, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

HarvardJock, it's not at all arbitrary, just an older spelling convention. See the table of contents for Of Domesticall Duties (1622) by William Gouge — one frequently encounters spellings such as "vpon", "wiues", "seruants", and "vnder". Of course this building long postdates that period, but it's reflecting older usage, not being random or arbitrary. It's reasonable to consider it implausible (although I disagree with that assessment), but calling it arbitrary or a misspelling is inaccurate. Nyttend (talk) 05:35, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

I see, I was not aware of this. Chalk that up to my ignorance then. In consideration of this, I will switch to Keep - perhaps it's a stylizing that is still used by some readers or searchers. An argument could be made that people could more commonly stumble upon that page as compared to other spelling varieties. I discard my "arbitrariness" argument.

HarvardJock, no worries.

Delete per nom. Go D. Usopp (talk) 09:54, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

Keep per PARAKANYAA. It's not at all arbitrary, as explained above, but an artefact of usage (both in English and other languages) for hundreds of years. And the interpuncts are largely irrelevant: you can't easily type them on a Latin-script keyboard, and the spaces on two of the photo links makes it clear that they're separate words, so you'd naturally be inclined to skip the interpuncts and just use spaces. (Also, one of the photos shows that one of these buildings just uses spaces, without interpuncts.) And per Thryduulf, you might not know that this means "Bureau of Customs". You might be inclined to look for this term to find out what kind of entity occupies the building you're looking at. Nyttend (talk) 05:28, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Retarget to Grey parrot. A big problem we have with all biology articles is that the common name of a plant or insect will retarget to the family article, requiring the reader to search through a long list of genera to find the thing they're looking for. Retargeting to the genus would be another example of this. Most people who type this will be looking for Psittacus erithacus, even though the term is techinally ambiguous.

Retarget to Grey parrot per comments above. Psittacus is too broad and this will also give consistency across different spelling redirects. Asteramellus (talk) 12:34, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

Retarget all to the genus. The grey parrot article says "Psittacus erithacus was previously also known as the African grey parrot until the Timneh parrot (Psittacus timneh), previously treated as a subspecies, was elevated to a full species". Sounds like it's outright wrong to call just this species the African grey parrot. And the genus article begins "Psittacus (African grey parrots) is..." Both species are African grey parrots; it's not too broad at all. Nyttend (talk) 20:26, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

Comment, leaning keep wikt:Toss one's cookies is a well established American idiom and is attestable in the infinite "toss cookies" form too, however as is not uncommon with very informal slang terms that are more often spoken than written finding usage in reliable sources is tricky. If we had a soft redirect at Toss one's cookies or similar I'd argue to point this there and wouldn't oppose either creating that or directly soft redirecting directly. "Technicolor yodel" feels like a plausible variant of Technicolor yawn (an Australian term that also redirects to vomiting). Overall I'm minded to keep all those that have clearly attested widespread use (not just mentions) as nobody using these terms is going to be surprised by the target as they're either looking for that article or they're looking to find the meaning of the term and the target perfectly answers that question.

Delete - I completely fail to see the relationship between the given terms and vomiting. Perhaps there is a reference I'm lacking or slang I don't understanding, but even with that being the case, I don't think it's common at all for people to be searching these terms to mean "vomiting". They seem like useless redirect pages with no real use or purpose. HarvardJock🏫 (talk) 01:42, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

HarvardJock, at least the cookies one is a slang term you're unfamiliar with. I've never heard any of the others. The technicolour one makes sense if you vomit soon after eating, and the negative chug makes vomiting analogous to wiktionary:chug#Verb point #4. This webpage lists the voorheaves and Cheektowaga; I can't understand them, but apparently they're slang too. (Voorheave is red, Voorhees doesn't have anything related, and Cheektowaga, New York doesn't seem to talk about anything even remotely related.) The cookies is a common enough slang term that I want to keep it, but otherwise I'm leaning toward delete, because I too think they're overly niche, but at least I can understand all of them being used.

Target Children of Armenia Fund and add a {{redirect}} hatnote.

Retarget to Saint Raphael. That Saint Raphael and San Rafael both exist at the base titles suggests no primary topic for either, let alone for Saint Rafael which combines features of both. Since the title includes the English word "Saint" that suggests a search for an English-titled topic, ie. Saint Raphael. The name "Rafael" is sometimes spelled that way by English-speakers too, or used in English-language sources to refer to people whose names retain their native spelling rather than being Anglicised (eg. Saint Rafael Arnaiz Barón), and the name may also be spelled that way phonetically by mistake, so I think the use of "Saint" is a stronger signal of what a reader would be seeking than using "f" instead of "ph". – Scyrme (talk) 20:00, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Delete as it's not an alternative English-language name for Vlad the Impaler. Per WP:RFOREIGN, redirect pages in different languages should not be kept on English Wikipedia, this is a very clear cut-and-dry case of that. Readers who search for this term would be, ideally, directed to the Turkish wikipedia article of this figure, if such an article exists. HarvardJock🏫 (talk) 20:45, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

WP:RFOREIGN does not say that all non-English redirects should not be kept. In-fact, it gives a list of some appropriate examples of non-English redirects. Per the results I found on Google Books, which indicated some use even outside Turkish-language sources, I don't agree that this is a cut-and-dry case. – Scyrme (talk) 20:54, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Keep. Redirect shows reasonable traffic. Google Books brings up a handful of results, indicating that this title is attested in sources, even if it's not very common. Most of these results were not in the Turkish language (3 were English, though 2 were translations of Hideyuki Kikuchi novels), suggesting this title is likely to occur in sources independently of the original language and therefore may be assumed as to be a reasonable search term even for non-Turkish speaking readers looking for more information (particularly about his interactions with and campaigns against the Ottomans). – Scyrme (talk) 20:48, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

i should note that some of the really few results i found were about count dracula. how important this is is beyond me, but in case of doubt, i'll assume "not very"

that said, the traffic is definitely lacking, suggesting that people may instead be looking for the not very popular other stuff, like the novels consarn _{(talk beige) (count ribs)} 20:57, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Regarding Dracula, that's probably also the case with the Hideyuki Kikuchi novels. However, the other English result was a book about real-life killers, and was clearly about Vlad III based on the snippet. In-case it's helpful, the other, non-English, results I had were:

A Portuguese novel titled Dracula (possibly a translation of Stoker's book?), however Kazıklı bey occurs in a prologue written in first person where the speaker identifies himself as Vlad III, listing this as one of his titles (fairly sure this isn't part of Stoker's book).
A second Portuguese result, clearly about Vlad III, not Dracula, based on the snippet's content.
A Romanian book, titled În căutarea lui Dracula ('In search of Dracula'), which is about Vlad III but seems to be in that genre of histories about Vlad III which try to establish him as the inspiration for Bram Stoker's character, or at least exploit the association of Dracula with Vlad III to invite attention.
A work in Estonian, unambiguously about Vlad III, explicitly naming him as Vlad III and providing his other more common epithets (Țepeș and Kazıklı Voyvoda) in addition to the one in question.
A Turkish language result, also unambiguously about Vlad III since it occurs as part of a sentence about his brother Radu, where Radu is identified as the brother of Kazıklı bey.

Of these, the ones which are about or discuss Dracula do so in association with Vlad III, and bring up the title Kazıklı bey in relation to the latter. I think any association with Count Dracula is more in relation to people generally associating the character with the historical Vlad III, rather than there being some particularly strong association between this epithet and the character. – Scyrme (talk) 22:11, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Regarding people searching for novels, all the uses I found occurred in the text of these works not in their titles. It doesn't seem very likely to me that someone would use this to search for a fictionalised version of Vlad III or Count Dracula, since the epithet isn't reliably associated only with the character, and in general appears to only be associated with the character through the character's association with Vlad III in the first place. – Scyrme (talk) 22:16, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

This has been changed to target the the modern Organized Village of Kasaan , presumably because it's apparently sometimes called just "Kaigani Haida". (Source for that is dead, so I can't verify) However, the term Kaigani Haida primarily refers to Haida people in Alaska who settled on Prince of Wales island -- you can see this by looking for the results on Google Scholar and Google books. (Around half of the Kaigani Haida are part of the Organized Village of Kasaan, I believe, but that leaves the other half to be represented by the Hydaburg Cooperative Association.)

What is unnatural about searching for an article about a nun called Theresa by using "Theresa (nun)"? That's exactly the search term I would use. Thryduulf (talk) 11:57, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Why do you say these are "non-standard" disambiguators? They're actually very common disambiguators. eg. Mary Greene (nun), Huiguo (nun), Peter Hartwig (missionary), William Campbell (missionary) – Scyrme (talk) 16:34, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
I actually meant it as a "non-standard way to search" but phrased it poorly—I ended up adding the bit about not being a natural way to search and didn't fully fix the earlier clause. I think the meaning is the same with "non-standard" struck so I'll go ahead and do that. -- Tavix ^(talk) 21:38, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
Where do you get the idea that "disambiguators are a non-standard way to search?". There are probably millions of people by now who are familiar with the way the English Wikipedia titles articles and use this format to search - it's the reason behind many redirects with other, incorrect, incomplete and unnecessary disambiguators. I presumably didn't see that 2022 RfD, but while I agree that "(figurative)" is a very unlikely disambguator, expanding that to all disambiguators is nonsensical.

Leaning delete. The sense suggested by the phrase, "nothing major", is very different from the philosophical concept of "nothing". BD2412 T 23:35, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
Delete. "Nothing major" means "unimportant" not "nothing at all". There is no article for unimportant, so there's nothing to redirect to. There are no partial title matches (See: All pages with titles containing Nothing major). It's unclear why anyone would search this at all, let alone why they would do so expecting the article for Nothing. The redirect was created as an article in 2007 before being blanked and redirected to the current target only minutes after it was made. It was a list of three definitions, all them being informal meanings written in casual style, like what you would see on a website like Urban Dictionary. No references were included and Wikipedia isn't a dictionary, so there's no point dredging it up for an AfD; it obviously wouldn't survive.

This definitely seems like it should go to Wikipedia:Verifiability#Tagging a sentence, section, or article, or like, literally anywhere else.

The links look split roughly evenly between the current target and "failed verification", with one extra. Most of the links referring to "failed verification" are from Grnrchst, except one or two or three. In the light that all the links referring to the current target are ancient, I think that's enough to usurp the redirect and target Wikipedia:Verifiability#Tagging a sentence, section, or article or Template:Failed verification.

BTW, we shouldn't judge things based on whether someone is a 'sitting admin' or not. There is no real meaning to that status in RfD discussions. --Joy (talk) 21:10, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
The ignorance of guidelines does not come from the portion about disambiguation, it comes from the fact that your reasoning for wanting to disambiguate it was "there's little benefit to encouraging [acronyms]." The way I interpret that is that your decision is being made solely based on you not liking the concept of shortcuts; especially, again, for something that 100% does not need a disambiguation page for the policy that people now seem to think it goes to (see the basis of the RfC in the first place), which I'd think is fairly important, and a WikiProject's sub-project that has been unused for 14 years. I can't really see that in any other way.

BTW, we shouldn't judge things based on whether someone is a 'sitting admin' or not. There is no real meaning to that status in RfD discussions. Well, my assumption here is that you do also participate in other discussions, and administrators are typically relevant when it comes to XfD, given that, you know, it's based off of their tools. I would think that does hold relevance if you're wanting to make a disambiguation page just because you dislike a specific concept (being shortcuts); if I was completely uninvolved from the discussion and saw that, I would be worried as to what your opinions on other policies/guidelines are, especially in today's age, since you've had that role for almost 22 years and I've read through a couple of times recently where people who have had the mop for about as long as Wikipedia's existence get removed for never adapting to new policy.

All of that is to say, maybe I'm wrong. However, that sort of rationale feels wrong to me, and you haven't really given any actual justification here for making a disambiguation page, other than what seems to be your own personal distaste towards shortcuts existing at all. I see it as rather wasteful to do given, again, we can just use hatnotes, and a disambiguation solely for 2 pages when one of the two pages isn't used at all anymore and all of the recent links have been referencing the policy I wanted to retarget to. Neo Purgatorio (pester!) 23:58, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
Where are you getting that I don't like shortcuts? I like shortcuts just fine, provided that they make sense - including that they are not very ambiguous. This discussion is about one that apparently is, so it doesn't make sense to use it. We have plenty of shortcuts available here that aren't as short as two letters: WP:FVEF, WP:FAILVER, WP:FAILV, WP:FDVF, ... we don't need to use the shortest possible one.

Again, I have no idea why you think it makes sense to ponder admin status here. Overall, I'm quite baffled that you think it's a appropriate to accuse another editor of doing something based on a feeling of dislike and then question the age of their contribution history, whether they're admin or not. Do you not see how off-putting that is? --Joy (talk) 09:20, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
Regardless, this weird discussion still prompted me to re-read the shortcut guideline just in case, and I immediately noticed that using these sorts of very short forms - FV and others - may not be obvious enough, contrary to the advice in the readability section of the shortcut guideline. So it just doesn't make sense to appeal to this guideline in order to keep this. --Joy (talk) 09:31, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Maybe editors should not be making shortcuts for things so particular that there should not be shortcuts. Shortcuts are jargon, and jargon increases efficiency for those who already know and creates barriers for those who don’t. There is benefit and cost. For overly focused things, more shortcuts makes the project worse. SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:46, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

Comment. WP:Changing shortcuts is the relevant guideline for what's been proposed here. It advises, For controversial cases, go to Wikipedia:Requests for comment. I suppose though that this venue is an acceptable alternative to WP:RfC. This used to be known as "usurping" a shortcut, until the series of guideline edits beginning with this July 2020 edit and the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Shortcut/Archive 3#"Usurp". I recall my somewhat rude introduction to the concept in 2013, and how serious some editors were about the matter. – wbm1058 (talk) 18:09, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
Regardless of whether this closes as disambiguate or retarget, the links should be disambiguated to ensure that they target their intended page. I've just done that:
- disambiguated 8 links from WP:FV → WP:FVTF, and removed 3 links to WP:FV as redundant to WP:FVTF
- replaced 17 arguably ambiguous piped, and one unpiped WP:FV links with WP:FAILEDVERIFICATION
- I believe the remaining 18 links are either from 26×26 tables of the 2-letter shortcuts or notices of this discussion. – wbm1058 (talk) 01:11, 13 May 2026 (UTC)
Comment. Here is my edit history related to this matter, for anyone who wants to review my work. It's ironic that a concept, shortcuts, which is intended to make things easier for editors by saving them a little time or keystrokes, ends up consuming hours of an administrator's time. Really, is it so hard to spell out the two words "failed verification" in an edit summary, that you must abbreviate that to "FV"? It's too easy to boldly create a shortcut which can cause problems later. I restored WP:FAILEDVERIFICATION and WP:FAILV to the policy section, but was reverted by SmokeyJoe: no one uses these, therefore they should not be advertised. They didn’t catch on. They are clutter. They are a negative. If you have reason to link to this section, use the section title. Wikipedia:FAILWikipedia:FAIL is, in my opinion, even more ambiguous than WP:FV and should probably be restored to the disambiguation page it briefly was. We have a chicken and egg problem. I cannot support retargeting this to a policy section where the shortcut is not mentioned, and there is no consensus to mention the shortcut there. I don't know whether my participation here with lengthy commentary makes me too "involved" to close this, but my inclination at this point is to delete and SALT until a consensus forms for whether to even have a WP:FV shortcut, and if so, where to target it. There certainly is a consensus that it should NOT target an inactive football variants task force. – wbm1058 (talk) 11:54, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

You ping me, then move the discussion you pinged me to, to a page I’m not watching, then relist (an administrative action) a discussion you are participating in? These things are no ok. It’s not your fault I guess that RfD and TfD relisting is so stupid, moving ongoing discussions from page to page, but you of know that only someone qualified to close is qualified relist. SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:23, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

The main RfD project page is chronically populating Category:Pages where post-expand include size is exceeded, so relisting is a somewhat clumsy and ineffective attempt to mitigate that. Sorry.

If WP:FV is deleted and salted, then that would force anyone wanting to re-create that 2-letter shortcut to start a WP:Request for comment to establish a consensus for both the redirect and its associated link box.

Requests for comment usually stay on the talk page where they started, unless the discussion gets so long as to force them to move to a dedicated page for just the discussion.

OK, then. I considered myself, arguably, as not too involved when I relisted, but now I'm sure I'm too involved to close this. – wbm1058 (talk) 14:47, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

WP:CUTS shows a pretty massive number of shortcuts. How many editors are expected to know 1% of them? The use of shortcuts creates barriers to new people entering the discussion. This project is mature, it is unlikely a new policy matter arises that justifies a shortcut where the policy matter was previously unneeded.

How does a new shortcut become established to justify advertising on the project page as the recommended shortcut to use to refer to the page or section? Not by fiat. You make a shortcut, you use the shortcut, and then see if others use the shortcut, both by their use of the shortcut in talk page posts and by counting pageviews of the shortcut redirect.

If others are not using your shortcut, then pasting it in a prominent box is creation of clutter. If someone then uses your shortcut on the assumption that the LINKBOX is an instruction to use it, chances are that their audience will not be familiar with the shortcut and therefore will have difficulty reading their post, which is clearly a negative for all involved.

An alternative to putting your shortcut into a LINKBOX is to establish a consensus on the talkpage to do so. Reading above, I can imaging support for WP:FAILV. I’m guessing that this new policy section has recently gain prominence in discussions? One new shortcut is a fair proposal. Two new shortcuts for the same section is one too many.

Also, just checking, you have not confused LINKBOX listings with template:anchor have you? SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:41, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
WP:LINKBOXWP:LINKBOX is a shortcut, which you created in June 2018, to a section of the Wikipedia:Shortcut project content guideline.

This is complex and each redirect's situation is different, so I suggest splitting up this nomination before it becomes a four-week trainwreck. Referenced figures for the Latvian diaspora in various countries are given at Latvians, which justify redirects. Looking just at "Latvians in Belarus", there's also targets like Belarus–Latvia relations and Category:Latvian people of Belarusian descent to consider. Note NZ is mentioned at the target, but the rest aren't. The ones that aren't mentioned anywhere or are barely mentioned are unlikely to be notable, so RETURNTORED does not apply.

Delete all of the above. Too many redirect pages for information that is, or should be, included in the single Latvian diaspora page. It lacks any usefulness and is simply taking up space. I also agree WP:RETURNTORED and its applicability here, as it's backed by policy too. HarvardJock🏫 (talk) 20:08, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

I did a final scrub of all of User:FlagSteward's remaining unnominated Italian redirects, and after a bunch of simple yet tedious retargeting to various DAB pages and an article or two, these are the ones I'm left with; delete all per WP:RLOTE unless suitable retargets can be found (such as a DAB page I didn't come across).

In three parts:

Delete Martino di Tours, S Martino di Tours, S. Martino di Tours, and San Martino di Tours per WP:FORRED (no connection between Martin of Tours and Italy).
Weak keep San Egidio because article not only mentions the term "Egidio", but also describes how the saint is (despite not being Italian) worshiped in Italy today.
Keep Sta Margherita because there are several saints called "Margaret" who were indeed from Italy.

Keep Sta Margherita and Delete the Martino di Tours redirects per Duckmather. Retarget San Egidio to Sant'Egidio, since the disambig page covers items and places that are named for Saint Giles in Italian. NerdyEpiscopalian (talk) 15:51, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
Agree. – Scyrme (talk) 17:42, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
Weak keep all since Comment: I'd imagine WP:FORRED (another shortcut pointing towards the same place as WP:RLOTE) supports "keep"-ing these redirects on the pure basis that all saints have a connection to Vatican City, which is an enclave of Italy, thus making the Italian language relevant to all of these. Steel1943 (talk) 17:16, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
Not sure that follows. How do all saints have a connection to Vatican City? In the sense that canonisation is authorised by the Holy See? The de jure language of the Holy See is Latin, not Italian. Italian is a working language, but that's a local thing not a global Roman Catholic Church thing. Regardless, as I understand it, the process of papal canonisation did not begin to develop until the 10th century onwards, post-dating Giles, Martin, and one of the Margarets, so even if canonisation being reserved by the Holy See would be sufficient reason per WP:FORRED (which I'm not convinced it is), it would only extend to the Margarets. Even then, the stronger argument for the Margarets is that several are Italian. – Scyrme (talk) 17:40, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

Saints are not exclusively a "Catholic thing". All saints named above (besides the various ones listed at Saint Margaret) are also venerated and have been canonised from outside the RCC (mainly in the Eastern Orthodox Church, but also in Anglicanism and Lutheranism), yet that doesn't justify redirects in Koine Greek, Church Slavonic, or German for any of these saints.

Dictator of Guatemala

Dictator of Guatemala → President of Guatemala (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

This is not a legitimate name to refer to the position. Not all presidents are dictators, and not all dictators are presidents. Note that the target President of Guatemala shows up as the 6th result when entering "Dictator of" into the search box. The current president of Guatemala is Bernardo Arévalo, but I would not call him the current dictator of Guatemala, so I think this redirect should be deleted as it incorrectly implies that every president of Guatemala is a dictator, which would be a neutrality issue.

Disambig/Set index this is a plausible search term that gets a lot of uses in reliable sources, and while Efrain Rios Montt is the most common person referred to, Rafael Carrera, Carlos Castillo Armas and Kjell Eugenio Laugerud García are also described in this manner. It's extremely likely that people will remember that Guatemala had a dictator and what to read the article about them without remembering the person's name or knowing that there was more than one. This is exactly the sort of search we should have pages to deal with rather than requiring them to navigate search results that may or may not include the article they are looking for and may be up to several clicks/taps away from where they arrive.

Delete. Disambiguation is for things that could all reasonably share the same title, but this isn't a reasonable page title for anything except an article which somehow discusses the general topic of dictators in Guatemala. And the current ~~title~~ target is obviously not appropriate per everyone else, so there's just nothing else to do with this. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 13:26, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
The articles about people described in reliable sources as a dictator of Guatemala absolutely could be at this title (if it were unambiguous). That there are better titles does not mean this becomes an invalid search term. The goal of redirects and disambiguation pages is to help readers find the content they are looking for, we do not require people to know which of multiple possible titles the article has before they can read it. I and Bis-Serjetà? have explained in detail why the title is appropriate, so your assertion that it is "obviously not appropriate" is clearly incorrect. Thryduulf (talk) 00:13, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
I meant current target, not current title; I've fixed that. "Dictator of Foo" is a generic, sum-of-parts phrase, so the fact that it's been used to describe multiple actual dictators is unsurprising. But we would never have an article about Juan Smith, feared dictator of Guatemala at "Dictator of Guatemala", it would be at "Juan Smith". Just like "President of Guatemala" is an article about the office, not about anyone specific that has held that office. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 17:17, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
The only articles about "President of Foo" that don't contain either a list of presidents of Foo or a link (usually a hatnote) to a list of presidents of Foo are those where only one person has been president of Foo. This is because people looking for the article about a specific president of Foo do search for that content at "President of Foo". "Dictator" is absolutely no different in that regard to "president".

*Delete per nom. I would also add that the term "Director of Guatemala" is so broad that it could encompass multiple government positions or other institutional positions for anything related to Guatemala. Searchers or readers looking for a given position might be misled into the President of Guatemala page without actually looking for that page specifically. It's totally useless and simply taking up space, it's best to delete. HarvardJock🏫 (talk) 20:10, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Delete all of them. These are definitely implausible search terms, and wouldn't normally be used in articles on the English Wikipedia either. I wouldn't object to that Arabic character by itself being a redirect to Muhammad for those who have compatible keyboards. ~Anachronist (who / me) (talk) 00:16, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
ﷺ points to Islamic honorifics, and it means "Peace be upon him". –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 01:04, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
That's fine too. ~Anachronist (who / me) (talk) 16:55, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
~~Delete~~. It's rare for mixed script redirects to be useful, and these are not exceptions. If someone searching in English wanted to add the honorific to their search "Peace be upon him" or "PBUH" would be significantly more likely. PBUH and Peace be upon him appropriately redirect to Islamic honorifics. Prophet Muhammad PBUH, Muhammad PBUH, Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) The Final Legacy, Imam Ali ibn al-Husayn, peace be upon him and Peace be upon him (Judaism) are the only other titles with the phrase or abbreviation in the article space. Perhaps the one title that would be appropriate to include the ﷺ character in a mixed-script title would be Muhammad ﷺ the Final Legacy (how it's rendered on the title card image in the article) doesn't exist. Thryduulf (talk) 01:44, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
The use of ﷺ even in otherwise English text is actually very common on Muslim sites online. Sure it's more effort than typing out "PBUH", but even "PBUH" is already extra effort & its that effort that contributes to the practice of using it being understood as a mark of respect. That you go out of your way to do it is an expression of piety. Why not go a little bit further and copy/paste the Unicode character? Many do exactly that. Some Muslims go further still and insist that it's impermissible to abbreviate "peace be upon him"; it must be written in full. Online, the Unicode character is the only way to acceptably shorten it while still reproducing the complete, unabbreviated statement. (eg. this discussion on Reddit Yes, I know Reddit isn't WP:RS; that's not the point. These are sincere Muslims expressing their actual opinions. Notably, this thread also includes participants giving advice on how to make using the Unicode character more convenient, such as how to configure your phone to automatically correct "PBUH" to the Unicode character. If you're a mobile user, it can actually be very easy and convenient to type any of these into Wikipedia's search bar.) – Scyrme (talk) 09:04, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
Hmm, I need to do more thinking as a result of this. I've withdrawn my delete recommendation for now, I may reinstate it to change to keep later. As for the last redirect having a different target, I've just discovered that Muhammad (prophet) has a different target to Prophet Muhammad, The Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Muhammad PBUH, I'm about to start a separate discussion about that. I recommend that if it is kept that the target by synchronised with the other similar ones. Thryduulf (talk) 11:28, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
Actually I'm not going to start that discussion. Further investigation revealed a total of 20 redirects almost all retargetted to Muhammad in Islam by Pppery in February citing "more specific target"). I presume they just missed Muhammad (prophet) so I'll synchronise that one. Thryduulf (talk) 11:37, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
Prophet Muhammad was retargeted to the more specific page in 2023. In February (and then later in April) I was ensuring that all redirects with different spellings of Muhammad were either consistent with each other or hatnoted to each other (a project that later became User:Pppery/Names) so retargeted a bunch of redirects there for consistency. I do appear to have missed Muhammad (prophet) though. No opinion on anything else here, but responding to the ping. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 15:28, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Keep my further thinking and Scyrme's comments (above and below this one) mean I'm now convinced that these are harmless at worst and potentially useful at best. Both options equate to a keep !vote at RfD, so it doesn't really matter which it is. Further, I'm not aware of (and my searches haven't found any evidence of) the existence of PBUH redirects encouraging the use of that terminology in articles. Thryduulf (talk) 01:50, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
Delete per spirit of WP:PBUH. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:40, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
That doesn't apply to redirects. Many acceptable and helpful redirects don't follow WP:MOS, including things like common typos and misspellings, incorrect capitalisation, stylised spellings, etc. – Scyrme (talk) 09:07, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
Hence "spirit of". Will any en-WP user actually type "Muhammad ﷺ" etc while searching en-WP and so be aided by the redirect? And if you put Muhammad ﷺ etc in an en-WP article, then WP:PBUH will apply and someone will change it to Muhammad etc. And if you put [[Muhammad ﷺ|Muhammad]] into an en-WP article, someone will change that too. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:55, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Btw, I don't have personal knowledge here, but per how ﷺ can be used, couldn't Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) refer to at least several of Allah's Messenger's? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:05, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
Based on my reply to Thryduulf above, that a pious Muslim may type these into the search bar isn't as implausible as it may appear at first, though even if it's plausible that doesn't necessarily mean it happens very often.
I don't disagree that using these redirects in an article wouldn't be appropriate. If the existence of these redirects might encourage linking via them then maybe it would be better to delete. However, redirects including the English acronym "PBUH" also exist and in many cases have existed for a very long time. Has their existence contributed to a problem of editors attempting to use "PBUH" in articles? If not, I don't see that being any different for redirects using the Unicode character instead.
Regarding Allah's Messenger specifically, you're right that by itself it's ambiguous. However, it's not uncommon for "Allah's Messenger" to also be used specifically in reference to Muhammad, and there are hadith that simply say "Allah's Messenger" instead of naming Muhammad. (eg. sunnah.com, Sahih al-Bukhari 555; note, this is also an example of ﷺ being used even in an otherwise entirely English translation on an English-language website.) Using "Allah's Messenger" in combination with PBUH/ﷺ implies a specific person (ie. Muhammad), because PBUH/SAW/ﷺ are not used when a title is used simply as a general title/word/phrase (a word/title itself isn't a "him" upon who you might wish peace and blessings). In theory, I think "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)" could be used contextually as a reference to any one of Allah's messengers in the sense that it wouldn't be incorrect to do so, but I'm not aware of this being common (doesn't mean it doesn't happen; I just haven't seen it). – Scyrme (talk) 15:29, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

I agree that none of these should appear in articles and that would be a violation of WP:PBUH, but existing as redirects is fine. With regard to ambiguity, while I am not myself Muslim, I believe that ﷺ is used exclusively as an honorific of Muhammad, so Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), for instance, would only possibly refer to Muhammad.

Delete - not sure if this is what you're already saying, but messing around with online translators seems to suggest that these redirects are just the romanization of each name followed by the original in Arabic.

Provisional delete all. I spot checked several, and none were at the original title very long and were quickly moved. Keeping redirects from moves makes more sense when they were reasonable titles and hosted the article for a good length of time, but questionable titles coupled with short duration generally adds up to a delete. That said, I don't have time to check the whole batch right now, so if anyone finds any exceptions, I might want to reconsider for those. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 03:46, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
Delete all per Deacon Vorbis and Dog Oxide, unless solid justification can be found to keep them under K4. These are page moves from obviously defective names, and none of the small sample I have just looked at seem to have been at that name for any significant time before being moved. Traffic to these redirects is down at the noise level, probably just blind AI bot scraping. I also checked using the redirect names in Google as opposed to just the Arabic or Latin-alphabet names alone; they don't seem to aid discoverability of either enwiki or arwiki articles compared to the bare names in either script. — The Anome (talk) 08:03, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
The burden to check whether an action is in accordance with the relevant guidelines is on those who are proposing the deletion of 50-odd redirects.

This is already a train wreck with some redirects at this title for very significantly differing amounts of time, e.g. 5 months for Jabal Mana', 40 minutes for Spiritual lineage of chisti sabri (سلسلہ ݘشتى صابرى).

Delete all per nom. If the pages are completely identical in the English version then the Arabic titles make the redirect pages completely useless. I suppose the original editor who created those pages did so as a courtesy to Arabic speakers who search the names in Arabic, having them get redirected to the main page. The thing is, though, Arabic Wikipedia exists exactly for that purpose. It's more than appropriate to get rid of these extra pages. HarvardJock🏫 (talk) 20:27, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedians in red-linked categories

Category:Wikipedians in red-linked categories → Category:Wikipedians who retain deleted categories on their userpages (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

I think this category is intended to be redlinked and having a redirect at this title defeats the purpose of having this category like Category:Wikipedians with red-linked categories on their user page and Category:Wikipedians with red-linked categories on their user talk page. Aasim (話す（はなす）) 16:07, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

Delete per nom, I agree it defeats the purpose... 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 16:23, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

Can you provide more context? How is the redirect different from its target? Jay 💬 05:35, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
Category:Wikipedians in red-linked categories is for people that want to be in categories that do not exist (are redlinked), and Category:Wikipedians who retain deleted categories on their userpages are people who have categories on their userpage that have been deleted in CfD. Both have redlinked categories, just different focuses, if that makes any sense? 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 06:14, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
So going by the titles, and the way you distinguished them, redlinked categories are a superset of deleted categories, hence won't be suitable as a {{Category redirect}}. I'll wait for further context as I didn't get the deletion rationale of I think this category is intended to be redlinked ... Also, what was the purpose of creating this redirect in the first place since creating inter-category redirects is not to be done? Jay 💬 17:23, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
Comment whatever happens this title needs to be protected/salted. It's been deleted and recreated multiple times, been the subject of at least 2 CfDs and a DRV. I don't care what the outcome is, but people need to stop wasting time with it. Thryduulf (talk) 16:15, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
I would support salting/protection. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 18:50, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
The history here is a long-simmering fight between three classes of users.
Class A: people who think Special:WantedCategories should be clear at all costs.

Class B: people who want vanity categories on their user pages (and sometimes vanity red-linked categories)

Class C: people who think WP:USERCAT should be enforced as written (and thus disallow vanity categories per WP:OC/U#jokes)
Since circa 2018, a compromise has been reached between the three classes where:
Category:Wikipedians with red-linked categories on their user page and Category:Wikipedians with red-linked categories on their user talk page are allowed to be red and have members

All other red-linked categories are verboten (and this is actually enforced every time that special page updates)

Category:Wikipedians who retain deleted categories on their userpages (and its child Category:Wikipedians in unconventional user categories is an implicit exception to the class-C rules, as well as other principles like WP:G4). Outside of that tree, Class C mostly succeeds and normal deletion processes apply.
This hasn't been codified anywhere, but individual CfDs and RfDs have generally respected it since nobody wants to reopen the old fights.
Although I've attempted to describe the above situation neutrally, I personally am quite strongly in classes A and C. Hence, I think this category, like all redirects to Category:Wikipedians who retain deleted categories on their userpages should be deleted and emptied and all of the users in them and all other Class B users should be subject to standard conduct sanctions if they continue to engage in the contemptuous behavior that brought them here. But I want to be clear what a delete result here amounts to - it's not just minor technical cleanup as the nomination here seems to be implying, but instead reopening the old frozen conflict and annoying either the WantedCategories enforcers, the users in the category, or both. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 18:03, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Relisting comment: While the nominator and participants want this deleted, there's still the question of whether this should be a joke red-linked category or whether it should be emptied. Because of this, and the history noted by Thryduulf and Pppery, I think more discussion would be helpful.

Ottawa Arena

Ottawa Arena → Ottawa Auditorium (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Delete no indication in the article that this is the name of this facility. The facility's predecessor, The Arena (Ottawa), would be expected, as would a list of such facilities, in the generic. The target topic could conceivably have been called "The New Arena" for Ottawa at the time it was opened. -- ~2026-25149-07 (talk) 09:10, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

I will change my vote/opinion to support the idea of turning "Ottawa Arena" into a disambiguation. I think User:Chrisahn makes a strong argument about this. PK T(alk) 15:07, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

The Arena (Ottawa) was demolished in 1927. Unless it's historically very important, it seems unlikely that people will think of it when they hear "Ottawa Arena". — Chrisahn (talk) 08:33, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
Retarget as above, as there's no good dab to target at this time. The current target is surprising; I had assumed it would target Canadian Tire Centre, the most prominent current arena in Ottawa. pburka (talk) 14:38, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

I know next to nothing about Ottawa, but there doesn't seem to be a good target. The Arena (Ottawa) was demolished in 1927, the Ottawa Auditorium was demolished in 1967. It seems unlikely that people will think of one of them when they hear "Ottawa arena". When I do a Google search for "Ottawa arena", the top results are Canadian Tire Centre and TD Place Arena. There's also TD Place Stadium... I guess we should either delete the redirect or create a disambiguation page. But if someone can provide evidence that there's one main subject, we should redirect to that and add a hatnote pointing to the others. — Chrisahn (talk) 08:56, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
If we decide to create a disambiguation page, Ottawa arena would probably be the more appropriate title, and Ottawa Arena should redirect to it. — Chrisahn (talk) 09:00, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
Oh, and there's also the planned New Ottawa Arena. It's the subject of most results when I do a Google news search for "Ottawa arena", but not a good redirect target either, since the building doesn't exist yet. — Chrisahn (talk) 09:03, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

Exactly. Odds are fairly overwhelming that someone typing in "ottawa arena" is trying to find out where the Ottawa Senators, the Ottawa Redblacks or the Ottawa 67's are playing. A disambiguation page should be the target. Ravenswing 18:43, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

I agree that given the genericity of the phrase "Ottawa arena", there isn't a well-known, unambiguous target without additional context, and so a disambiguation page is the best option. isaacl (talk) 21:41, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
There are several articles and redirects with such generic names.

Delete: I see two possibilities here. The first, AGFing possibility is that these are real names that were selected by the creating editor because they sound like funny phrases in English. Since they go unmentioned, we should be suspicious of this and delete pending confirmation from RSs. The second, more likely possibility is that these are fake. In that case, deletion also applies.

Update/Correction: I am the creator of these redirects and would like to clarify a few geographical errors I made while mapping out Noongar place names.

Kakaroomup and Boodjargabbeelup: I realize I incorrectly pointed these to Mount Nasura and Cannington. I have now updated the targets to Heirisson Island and Perth Water, which are the correct historical river locations according to the Museum of Perth and local heritage records.

Moorordup, Kaarta Koomba, and Manjaree: These are well-documented names for the Maylands Peninsula, Kings Park, and Bathers Beach respectively. I have added a verified citation from the City of Bayswater to the Maylands article to satisfy verifiability.

Googoormuckup: I believe this was a spelling error on my part (likely intended as Goongoongup); I have no objection to its deletion.

Redirects are cheap, and since all of these channels are already discussed in the target article, redirecting them to the specific section is the most helpful outcome for our readers. The nominator's assertion that they must stay red links goes against standard practice.

Next Generation Offshore Patrol Vessel

Next Generation Offshore Patrol Vessel seems to be a generic descriptive term rather than a unique name for the Shachi-class patrol vessel.

The word "coral" is nowhere in the target article. Also, Coral crab does not exist.

Delete and strong oppose disambiguation. The overall topic of crabs that inhabit coral reefs is possibly a topic worthy of a short article unto itself. But a dab page isn't suitable for this; such an article would need to be sourced, while dab pages generally aren't, since they're merely an index to things which could reasonably share the same title. But while people may talk about 'coral crabs' as a general descriptor, none of these are simply called 'the coral crab'. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 17:18, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

Cohen brothers

Cohen brothers → Coen brothers (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Not sure how plausible of a misnomer this is ("Coen" is a different surname from "Cohen"). Other people or companies that could be called the "Cohen brothers" include: the children of Charles S. Cohen; a non-notable judo training club in Vernon Hills, Illinois; a non-notable jewelry store in Manhattan; and a non-notable real estate developer, also based in Manhattan; and a non-notable "global fund placement" company with several different offices across Europe. Duckmather (talk) 21:30, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Retarget to Charles S. Cohen. His firm is actually called "Cohen Brothers" (in full, "Cohen Brothers Realty Corp"), and any potential confusion with the filmmakers can be covered by a hatnote. Tevildo (talk) 22:01, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
I'm normally strongly in favour of prioritising correct targets over incorrect targets even if the incorrect target appears more likely. Here, due to the commonness of this misnomer, I'm tempted to keep as is. Cohen Brothers should target Charles S. Cohen, but "Cohen brothers" is less straightforward. However, keeping as is would require a hatnote, and on an article as popular as Coen brothers hatnotes are expensive. J 947 ‡ ^edits 00:24, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
Meh, keep. Coen/Cohen is a very plausible misspelling, and the alternative suggested target is beyond obscure. Even going for a SMALLDETAILS type argument, the actual firm is "Cohen Brothers Realty (Corporation)", so it's not even the full name there. The filmmakers are about a bajillion times more primary here. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:42, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Keep because it's a very common misspelling of the Coen brothers specific name, although Cohen itself is a proper spelling of the same name itself.

Disambiguate, per Sollyucko. That is, retarget Cohen brothers to Cohen Brothers, and make that page into a dab between Coen brothers, Charles S. Cohen, and Jacob Elias Cohen. I agree that most people who type this will be looking for the filmmakers, but there are (at least) two firms actually named "Cohen Brothers" that we mention in articles. Tevildo (talk) 08:44, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
Keep. See Coen (name) — it's attested as an alternate form of "Cohen". Someone could easily be familiar with the "Coen" spelling, and then would use that spelling when looking for the Cohen brothers. I've often heard this pronunciation for "Cohen", too; the US TV news my family watched in the 1990s always seemed to call the Secretary of Defense "William Coen". I wouldn't mind disambiguating if there's basis for that, however. Nyttend (talk) 06:21, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Stephen Cohen sex.com → Sex.com (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Delete as an instance of WP:XY between Stephen Cohen (the name of several different people) and sex.com (the current target). Also, it was created by now-blocked sockpuppet User:Scohen15, which this blogpost suggests might be no other than Stephen M. Cohen himself (although the redirect was created in 2006, and the sockpuppet was only blocked in 2012, so WP:G5 doesn't quite apply here). Duckmather (talk) 21:20, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Retarget to Kremen v. Cohen, an article about Stephen M. Cohen and the sex.com domain, resolving the XY issues. There are no other Stephen Cohen's associated with sex.com afaict. It's plausible that this is an attempt at disambiguation (canonically Stephen Cohen (sex.com)), but as sex.com is not mentioned on the biography and we have the article about the intersection of the two topics the biography would not make a good target. Cohen is mentioned on the sex.com article though, so my second choice is keep, but it's not a close second. Thryduulf (talk) 00:39, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
"sex.com is not mentioned on the biography" — Which page are you referring to as "the biography"? Stephen M. Cohen mentions it incredibly prominently throughout (and has done so since the first revision). However, the disambiguation page Steven Cohen currently just describes him as "(active since 1995), American criminal".

I would retarget to either Kremen v. Cohen (though the redirect would properly be from Stephen Cohen and sex.com), or Stephen M. Cohen (though, as per Thryduulf, canonically Stephen Cohen (sex.com)).

This redirect has a few issues. For one, the redirect is not mentioned in the target article. For two, the redirect is not specific enough to clarify what "population" it is referring to (animals, plants, humans, etc.) There seems to be a somewhat related article named "Human overpopulation", and the redirect "Population explosionPopulation explosion" redirects to the article Population growth, but both of these potential targets assume the nominated redirect is referring to humans. Steel1943 (talk) 20:01, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Delete. Hopelessly vague. This isn't really a topic title, but a description of a topic and the topic in question may vary based on context. Even if we assume the human population is intended, people have been writing about that since at least Thomas Malthus, long before the discovery of the Haber process. Additionally, "population" is vague not only because of species, but also because global population isn't specified. Depending on context, this could easily be in reference to a specific country or region where rapid population growth has been observed. – Scyrme (talk) 20:24, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

I suggest retargeting of these to Post-war Britain (1945–1979) because this seems to be what is predominantly meant by the redirect terms. We can disambiguate the target instead, linking to the current target for the cases where the present day is actually supposed to be included in the concept of "post-war Britain". — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlockArranger (talk • contribs) 19:59, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Retarget per nomination. In general, "postwar Britain" refers to Britain during the postwar consensus, which was overturned by Thatcher's government from 1979 onwards. While technically all history of the UK after WW2 is "postwar", that's sort of like saying "post-Depression America" to describe the present-day United States. – Scyrme (talk) 20:44, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

For additional information, Post-war Britain (1945–1979) already has a disambiguation hatnote. Perhaps we should also retarget Social history of post-war Britain and Social history of Postwar Britain to Social history of post-war Britain (1945–1979). BlockArranger (talk) 21:45, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

This should probably should be listed at WP:RM instead of discussing it here, because retargeting the pages as proposed would result in a WP:MISPLACED article. - Eureka Lott 22:04, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
Keep both for now, no prejudice against an RM discussion.

self-explanatory, same rationale. i should note that while they haven't been blocked for socking... the account was globally locked for interwiki socking, which i'm pretty sure counts

it's always the bfdi fans, i swear to azathoth... consarn _{(talk beige) (count ribs)} 19:33, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Here are my opinions on these redirects, independently of who created them:

"[number] Bottles of Beer": keep if used somewhere on- or off-Wiki, or likely to be (e.g. the start number from another variant, such as 100); delete otherwise
Mis-spellings: remove unless commonly used
Capitalization and punctuation variants, and needless prefixes and suffixes: keep only if usefully linked on-Wiki; e.g. just one each of Zoo-Wee Mama! (which should probably be tagged as {{R from catchphrase}}), Barry B. Benson, Wimpy Kid, and DoaWK is probably enough
BFDI TPOT seems reasonable to me, though the page ought to make it clear that "TPOT" stands for "The Power of Two"
Doggy with a Bloggy and The annoying thing: delete unless they are used often enough to refer specifically to their targets
I'm in favor of keeping GiSNEp and GisNEp as common misreadings of Disney's logo
I'd keep Nintendo Switch calculator but delete 10 dollar calculator and $10 Calculator
I'm undecided on Who had the 3rd most Wikipedia translations in 2013?: it provides a potentially-useful entrypoint, but its title does not have the phrasing that would be expected of a Wikipedia article

Keep Mario Cart 8. Plausible misspelling, as evidenced by Mario Cart. Steel1943 (talk) 03:29, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

The following redirects are plausible: Barry Bee Benson, Bisexual Lighting, Cars 2 video game, Mario Cart 8, ANNOYING ORANGE, CRAZY FROG, NEWGROUNDS, DoAWK Tbhotch^™ (CC BY-SA 4.0) 04:28, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

comment: i should note that this was a purely procedural nom, regardless of each redirect's own plausibility, so i wouldn't have minded the more plausible ones being recreated if there was no (apparently just apparent) socking at play. if g5, g3, or g1 end up not applying to any given redirect, here are some notes

newgrounds (all caps) has a rationale, wow!!
mariokart 8 (also all caps) might actually be an r from stylization
the annoying thing is... actually mentioned in the target as the unhinged amphibian's original name
any redirect with mixed capitalization can take a hike to

FRAUD /// THIRD

DISINTEGRATION LOOP

of the "bottles of beer" redirects, the only ones i wouldn't say are outright implausible are 98 and 100

ig that one corbin redirect would fall afoul of wp:notfaq, but... that's kind of a given, isn't it? consarn _{(talk beige) (count ribs)} 11:15, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing those out!

Stylization/logo arguments for MARIOKART8, MARIOKART 8, MARIO KART 8, as well as Unicode variants such as MΛRIOKΛRT∞ (if any of them actually exist or are worth creating) make sense to me. Likewise for NEWGROUNDS.

As for Crazy Frog, it looks like the proper alternative name is The Annoying Thing, but I'm okay with also keeping the lowercase version if you think that would be more helpful than confusing.

I'm not familiar with ULTRAKILL, which you seem to be referencing, but I agree that random capitalization is utterly unhelpful.

And for the Bottles of Beer, at least for the "Bottles a-Hanging" version I was researching, the numbers I've seen are mostly 10, 49, and 99, as well as at least one each of 79 (), 48 (; , ), 47 (; ), 15 (), 14 (), 9 (), 5 (, ), and 4 (). I'd also keep 100, and I'm neutral on 98.

Solomon Ucko (talk) 17:12, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

Strong keep Mario Cart 8, Cars 2 video game, Gregg Heffley, Greg Heffly, Nintendo Switch calculator, Crazy frog racer, NEWGROUNDS (given Newgrounds's logo is in all caps) and 100 Bottles of Beer. All are very plausible misspellings or alternate names. Delete all "bottles of beer" ones except maybe 98.

I think we should delete most of them, but not all. Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Bleu, Corbin, Corbin BLEU, and BLEU Corbin (which doesn't yet exist) are standard transformations of "Corbin Bleu" (see All caps § Surnames).

The SpongeBob movie is a good description and variant name for The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.

Robby Rotten I'm okay with as a likely-common misspelling of Robbie Rotten.

As per "Likely alternative capitalisations" in WP:RPURPOSE, I'm open to keeping (but also okay with deleting) all caps, title case, and all-lowercase versions, but I think other variations should be deleted unless used.

The rest I agree are unhelpful noise.

comment-shaped stuff: well, this one isn't really needed per my comment in the above nom, but some parts might need notes

the misspellings of "spongebob" aren't actually made up. they see use mostly in meme culture and mostly referring to the character. not to be confused with the other misspelling "spingebill", which is primarily found in ytps. not that this matters when they're both unmentioned
somehow, every redirect referring to the new rickrolld is vandalism regardless of it being unmentioned, which is funnier than it probably should be. i refuse to elaborate on why, partially because of the aforementioned being unmentioned thing
as noted above, all redirects with mixed capitalization (and that one in randomcase) can reach for the sun and burn! burn! burn!
"lazytown tv" might actually be a little vague, not that the reasons for why matter when there's nothing named "lazytown tv", but it's an implausible botched disambiguator regardless

still not important if csds are on the menu, but my whoever i got my pedantry from would kill me (to death) if i didn't clarify it consarn _{(talk beige) (count ribs)} 18:00, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

@Amorymeltzer and Buidhe: Notifying you as you participated in the RfD for Regressive conservatism. – Scyrme (talk) 02:52, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
I don't think the two are necessarily the same term or related terms in the minds of readers - and indeed, something broad like "regressive right", which could mean a multiplicity of vague ideologies or movements, is the same as being reactionary in an anti-progressive sense. That being said, I do see some relation and I see where you're coming from. I'm 50/50 but I slightly lean towards Supporting this direct over deletion. It's a reasonable alternative to deletion.

Not what this is called; the product of a short lived and bad move. Honestly, this is kind of the opposite of what this is, pan-white white supremacy or "white nationalism" was coined in opposition to the "Aryan" terminology. Searches entirely turn up references to either Indian nationalism or Nazi Germany, not the subject of this article, which is about "pan-white" racism as a collective, post-war. PARAKANYAA (talk) 16:58, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

I deleted it several months ago and no one objected; the problem is almost no one in the list was described as a white nationalist in the article and what citations there were didn't actually say it. I don't think "self-identified" fixes the problem, because many people challenge the label and instead label them white supremacists or neo-Nazis or something. The people who do tend to be called white nationalists usually challenge the claim. A "list of white supremacists" would be more accurate, probably. The category is actually worse because a lot of the people in it they are described as white supremacists, not white nationalists, or the white nationalist label is uncited.

Not mentioned at target or anywhere on wiki in prose. PARAKANYAA (talk) 16:51, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

If I recall correctly, it was at one time mentioned at the target, but was removed for flimsy (and primary) sourcing. I don't see a reason to keep it, since it could always be re-created if someone found an actual notable reason for it to exist. ButlerBlog (talk) 17:21, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Delete - It's quite possible that this church would be notable for an article, being a former Huguenot church with associations with Isaac Newton and Augustus Toplady; the latter apparently writing "Rock of Ages" while there, and the hymn was first sung there. It's a central London (Westminster) congregational church dating back to the 17th century. However, anyone looking for this church and typing this name is unlikely to be looking for British Israelism. It appears that there is some tradition of this teaching there, as they have some of F.M. Nithsdale's writings on their website, and I believe Nithsdale may have had an association with the church. Nevertheless that is far from the most interesting thing about it, and the Toplady link is likely to be significantly more notable. Not mentioned anywhere else, so deleting the redirect will be for the best. If this were added anywhere (e.g. the Toplady article), it would be better as a red link, encouraging article creation, than as a blue redirect to a page that has nothing to say about it. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 17:29, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
And to add, having just reviewed the Toplady article, there is an (unsourced) mention there: Toplady spent his last three years mainly in London, preaching regularly in a French Calvinist chapel at Orange Street (off Haymarket), most spectacularly in 1778, when he appeared to rebut charges being made by Wesley's followers that he had renounced Calvinism on his deathbed. The Huguenots were French Calvinists. It's unsourced but correct. A retarget to Augustus Toplady would be acceptable, but my preference is still to delete as the red link is better. At the risk of providing too much information, it is possible that there is also a confusion with Jacques Abbadie's Huguenot church at the Savoy. Abbadie is strongly associated with BI, but this is not the same church.Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 17:38, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
Yeah, I figured it might be notable so WP:RETURNTORED is also a consideration. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:43, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

FWIW, their own website includes a staunch declaration of British Israelism, which was also (and maybe still is) on one of the noticeboards on the front of the church, and has several articles on the subject. The building, however, is a "temporary structure" which opened in 1929 and not the Huguenot chapel that was taken over by the Church of England and later became a Congregational church before being demolished. "Lux benigna, being the history of Orange Street Chapel, otherwise called Leicester Fields Chapel, occupied 1693-1776 by the French refugee church founded in Glasshouse Street in 1688; 1776-1787 by members of the Church of England; 1787-1888 by Congregational dissenters" is an 1888 history by its minister, Richard B. Free. NebY (talk) 17:47, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

Well, their own website is not a secondary source. PARAKANYAA (talk) 17:58, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

Quite so. But is such self-identification sufficient to justify a redirect? NebY (talk) 18:06, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

"Israelism in Modern Britain" by Aidan Cottrell-Boyce (Routledge, 2020) seems a useful secondary WP:RS for our purpose. The abstract of his chapter A history of British-Israelism in the twentieth century has "The Orange Street Congregational Church has served as the unofficial chapel of the British-Israel movement from the early twentieth century to the present day. Since the start of the twentieth century it has hosted a Congregationalist community who hold, as a central tenet of their beliefs, the doctrine of British-Israelism." NebY (talk) 18:40, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

What justifies a redirect is listed at WP:REDIRECT. So, no. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:08, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

I did view their building on Google maps when I wrote the above. The building, whilst not original, appears to be at the same site and has 1693 and 1929 prominently written above the doorway. There is a continuity there. The Church is the congregation, not the building. (Although on that, they were not always congregationalists, as you also note). Note, however, that a congregation that remains static but changes polity would still be the same congregation, with continuity, as for, e.g., nearby Westminster Chapel. What is interesting is Cottrell-Boyce (2020). I have that but didn't consult it, which was an error on my part. That certainly supports your edit to place it back in the BI page (although I'm not convinced that its status is as clear as Cottrell-Boyce suggests. But I'm not going to argue with the source here). All the same, I think the link with Toplady is just as interesting, and the church is mentioned on the Toplady page. I don't think the case is made that this is where the link should be. I do think we should probably have a page for this subject, but with just a mention in Cottrell-Boyce, and just a mention regarding Toplady, we remain short on sourcing for that. For now, I think delete remains the better option per WP:RETURNTORED and I'd place a red link on the Toplady and BI pages. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:06, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

The dates placed on the building don't indicate continuity. At least twice (I only skimmed) in the histories of the buildings, congregations dwindled and services ceased for a prolonged period; on at least one occasion, an entirely different community eventually obtained and re-opened the old building. Still, I'm glad you have Cottrell-Boyce; it might be possible to greatly improve our British Israelism#Contemporary movement with the benefit of his second chapter.

Lean keep. This is a Twitch emote. See BetterTTV's numerous examples. It follows the pattern of other -ge emotes like Sadge and Susge. Those searching for it would most likely know what it means. It's conceivable that there are many zoomers and gen Alpha Twitch users who only know this meme from Twitch's emotes, and may never have known it by its original name. If so, it would be natural that they would search for it by this name rather than by "trollface". I'm conflicted as to whether to keep or delete, since the emote isn't explicitly mentioned but the target probably wouldn't be surprising since the meme would be recognised by sight and the redirect gets plenty of traffic suggesting there are many people who do know it by this name. Leaning towards keep right now, as it seems unlikely to cause problems and would be helpful to anyone searching for the meme who only recognises it by sight and by text used in Twitch chat to produce it. – Scyrme (talk) 16:49, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
for starters, we'd probably also need redirects for stuff like sadge and susge, and a mention of the emote in the current target. without that second one, it's really just surprising, as readers will either already know what a trollge is and be disappointed that the info isn't here, or not know what a trollge is and be disappointed that the info isn't here consarn _{(talk beige) (count ribs)} 17:16, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
Don't see why we'd need redirects for Sadge and Susge. They're irrelevant beyond sharing a naming convention. I only mentioned them to illustrate that appending -ge is a thing on Twitch, so that it's clear to less familiar participants why someone would add -ge to "Troll" and expect to arrive at Trollface.
I doubt anyone searching this wouldn't already know what Trollge refers to since the name isn't used independently of the image. As for other readers who already know what a trollge is, that they already know what the meme is called doesn't mean they therefore have no reason to seek further information, like the history of the meme or its cultural impact; topics which are covered at Trollface. – Scyrme (talk) 17:33, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Note that Nazis (without "The") currently redirects to Nazism which is about the political philisophy, while the redirect nominated here (with "The") goes to the political party which is often called the Nazis for short.

I support consistency in general, but I think the use of the determinate article "The" does shift the meaning here from referring to Nazis in general and their philosophy (i.e. Nazism), to instead referencing the specific group/entity that ran Germany (i.e. the Nazi Party). I don't think redirecting to Nazi Germany is appropriate, since not every German was a Nazi. So I would recommend keeping Nazis (or perhaps deleting it as redundant with Nazi, which also redirects to Nazism) and The Nazis as-is, and adding a prominent link from Nazi Party to Nazi Germany.

Retarget both The Nazis and Nazis to Nazi (disambiguation) as {{R from plural}} / {{R from partial disambiguation}} -- ~2026-25149-07 (talk) 06:47, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
The singular Nazi is a redirect to Nazism, so retargeting the plurals to the disambiguation page would not be {{r from plural}} unless the disambiguation page were moved over the redirect at Nazi. (Simply retargeting Nazi to the disambiguation page would leave it misplaced.) None of these redirects would be {{r from partial disambiguation}}; I think you mean {{r from ambiguous term}}.
I don't see the point of retargeting to the disambiguation page. The Nazis has a very clear primary meaning, namely the Nazi Party and its members. It can also refer to Nazi Germany, as a political/military entity, but this is just an extension of its primary meaning via metonymy. "The Nazis" is used in distinction to "Nazis" in general, the latter also encompassing other Nazi parties in the countries, allied/puppet regimes, ideologues, sympathisers, neo-Nazis, etc. Someone being "a Nazi" often means something different to someone being "one of the Nazis". I could understand wanting to retarget Nazis to a disambiguation page, but, again, that should be a separate nomination because the question of whether Nazis has a primary topic is very different to whether The Nazis does. We don't need to muddle or drag out this RfD by trying to answer both at once. – Scyrme (talk) 09:21, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
Keep. Clearly refers to the correct subject, and usages such as the one you quote are erroneous. Nyttend (talk) 06:09, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
Keep as is. "Nazis" plural refers to people, and while "Nazis" alone can mean adherents of Nazism in general, "The Nazis" (with the "the") specifically refers to members of the Nazi party. Nazi Germany is a single entity, so calling it "the Nazis" doesn't strictly make sense (except in an informal, metaphorical way). 🦬 Beefaloe 🦬 (talk) 12:03, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Redirect was made by a user with three total edits, two to this redirect and one vandalism. Requesting deletion as either it serving no purpose or as a possible subtle vandalism. ☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 12:40, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Retarget to List of professional wrestling conventions as {{r to list entry}}; there's an entry on the RSPW Convention. A {{vanchor}} can be added if needed. – Scyrme (talk) 12:55, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Regarding the "subtle vandalism" suggestion, I'm not sure why they chose to redirect this to the actor but I don't see a reason to suspect vandalism. I don't agree that the user's edit to Blackbird Hundred was vandalism. The edit in question was an attempt to change largely rural to mostly rural but included a typo resulting in mosrtly rural. The edit wasn't helpful, but it also doesn't seem like intentional vandalism. – Scyrme (talk) 13:23, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Not mentioned in article and I couldn't find another article which mentions it. Suonii180 (talk) 12:18, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Delete. This apparently refers to the Assembly of the World's Religions; a series of conferences sponsored by Sun Myung Moon. The topic is mentioned (as Assembly of the World's Religions) at Ninian Smart and David Eaton (composer), but anyone searching for this topic would be likely surprised to redirected to these biographies. There's no appropriate target to redirect to. – Scyrme (talk) 12:46, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Also, a note, the two redirects nominated differ in that one uses a curly apostrophe (in case anyone else might be confused). – Scyrme (talk) 12:49, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Retarget to Parliament of the World's Religions, which repeatedly speaks of the Assembly in capitals. One might remember the concept and part of the title whilst using the wrong initial word and the wrong preposition (they're quite plausible errors, not something random), and perhaps "Assembly" is part of the official title here, in which case the only error is using the wrong, but still plausible, preposition. Nyttend (talk) 06:08, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
Note that the redirects use "for the" not "of the", so if we decide this is a valid target, it still contains a mistake. The correct "of the" redirect does not exist.
Regarding the Parliament, the article uses parliament assembly and Parliament Assembly inconsistently. Searching the website for the Parliament it seems they do have a Parliament Assembly () along with Assemblies for specific issues. (), using capitals. These uses do not append (for/of) the World's Religions after Assembly.
I still lean towards deleting. The all time traffic is no higher than the background traffic redirects collect just by existing (less than 100 total since 2015), and we have to make several assumptions in order to make the retarget plausible: 1. that the reader would omit "Parliament", 2. that the reader would append "of/for the World's Religions" though this wording doesn't appear to be used by the Parliament themselves, 3. that the reader would use "for the" by mistake, 4. that the reader is not looking for Moon's "Assembly of the World's Religions". – Scyrme (talk) 16:16, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Oppose: It used to point to content which has since been removed. There's lots of art showing "dead carts" but no category for such images (an example 1852 image). I suspect it's more of a "use" for a generic cart, rather than a specific type (example use from 1964).

Yeah, so it could be interpreted either way ... WP:REDLINK can arguably be equivalent to a {{R with possibilities}} argument since WP:REDLINK deletion claims to encourage article creation ... {{R from subtopic}} may be valid, but it can cause issues if there is no mention at the target ... and the "redirects are cheap" argument is represented by WP:CHEAP, which has nothing to do with assessing a redirect's usefulness and is actually concerned about disk space on Wikipedia servers.

Live On AirLive On Air → Red Hot Chili Peppers (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Not mentioned in target article, not mentioned anywhere on the English Wikipedia. The phrasing of these redirects make them rather ambiguous; not sure (and I weak oppose, but mentioning for WP:BEFORE completeness) if retargeting these to Live broadcast makes sense here since apparently these redirects represent multiple topics, such as apparently a subject related to Bon Jovi. Steel1943 (talk) 07:26, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

This is evidently the title of multiple unofficial releases (1994 CD, 2007 DVD) compiling material by the band. The same is true for Bon Jovi (2010 CD), among many other artists. I doubt any of these is notable.

@Steel1943: Why do you oppose retargeting to live broadcast? (And would you object to creating live on air as a redirect to live broadcast? I was surprised to see it didn't already exist.) – Scyrme (talk) 18:08, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

@Scyrme: I guess my best way of explaining my stance on this is ... I just changed my stance on that option to "weak oppose" since I really don't have a strong opinion about it, but it definitely seems like this title is ambiguous for a lot of unnotable topics, plus there's the off chance that someone might literally think the phrase "live on air" is about something that literally lives (is alive) on air [particles] or something like that. Steel1943 (talk) 18:41, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

I doubt someone would search "live on air" in search of living organisms that inhabit the air, but if it's plausible then a hatnote could deal with that: I suppose "aeroplankton" isn't a widely known word, so maybe someone might search "live on air" for them, but that's really more of a description than a title. Regardless, the overwhelmingly most common use of the expression "live on air" (both on and off Wikipedia) is in reference to live broadcasts, and these various unofficial releases are in-fact all using it in that way too (they're unofficial compilations of live performances). – Scyrme (talk) 20:01, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Aeroplankton seems like a stretch. And are these the only organisms that fit the, rather vague, description of "lives on air"? Inedia ("breatharianism") seems more likely. But I don't suggest that is a good target for these. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 15:55, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

Breatharianism had also occurred to me, but that's more "people" that "live on air" than "organisms" that "live on air", and the latter better fits the description Steel1943 gave. Regardless, I agree with you that both are a stretch. If others disagree though, and think it's better to be thorough and cover all possible interpretations, I'd prefer a hatnote to a disambiguation page because "live on air" where "live" is the verb, not the adjective, isn't a topic title but is rather a description. Neither Aeroplankton nor Inedia could actually be titled "live on air", even if their topics could be described as "living on air". Regardless, the primary topic for "live on air" is certainly live broadcasting based on overwhelming use. – Scyrme (talk) 18:04, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

Lean retarget to live broadcast to match live on air which I've decided to create, as the basic phrase has a very clear primary topic regardless of whether "live" can plausibly be interpreted as a verb or not. I'm not convinced the phrase is especially ambiguous beyond its use in the titles of unofficial compilations of media that was previously only available "live on air". While the capitalisation of these redirects suggests a search for a title, there are no articles or mentions for any of them that I could find. If others think it's plausible at least one of them is notable, Live on Air can be tagged as {{r with possibilities}} and revisited if substantial content is contributed either as a new article or coverage within another article. Only lean towards retargeting as a case could be made for WP:RETURNTORED if one of these titles is notable, but that seems unlikely as the only external search results I saw in relation to these titles were things like Discogs pages and people selling copies on eBay.. – Scyrme (talk) 18:30, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

Keep or refine per voorts. None of the delete !votes (most of which appear to be surreptitiously canvassed here somehow) provide any policy-based reason to delete the redirect, which is unambiguously helpful.

Being defunct is not a reason to delete a redirect. We can hardly evaluate the pageviews when the page was just converted into a redirect. There is certainly historical value in the edit history of the page, as well as the talk page, which catalogues the AfD. Notability is not a reason to delete a redirect, WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is about notability, and WP:NOTADVERT and WP:NOTDIR don't apply here.

I don't see how a reader look for Amrita Schools of Engineering would be confused and somehow mistakenly end up at this redirect. The second word in each article title is different. Katzrockso (talk) 22:00, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Implausible mixed-language redirect, "Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him". –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 00:14, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Keep. Mixed-script redirects are fine if people do in fact mix the scripts that way organically, which they do in this case. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 10:37, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Delete; it's unclear why anyone would plausibly search for this as half in English, and half in Arabic. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 19:31, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
Delete. Typing "Prophet Muhammad" already shows Muhammad in Islam. But the part in Arabic script (which is not actually in Arabic but Urdu), صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, does not exist and most likely means peace be upon him (a redirect to Islamic honorifics). This makes the redirect WP:XY. Even if the redirect would be actually plausible (like a full English "Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him"), search results would be quite useful.

Delete - Mixed script. This can be merged with Muhammad in Islam. Enperupadayappa (talk) 15:27, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

delete per above --Lenticel ^(talk) 00:22, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
Keep per Tamzin. I can't understand why anyone would mix scripts like this, but Tamzin's search demonstrates unequivocally that people are doing this. I'm not sure that this is the best target (perhaps Muhammad would be better; I have no opinion on keep versus retarget), but it's definitely a good target, and it won't confuse readers. The problem with mixed script redirects is generally that they're highly implausible — neither Мuhammad, with a Cyrillic M, nor Μuhammad, with a Greek M, is plausible because people aren't likely to combine different writing forms — but since it's proven that this specific phrase is being used, it doesn't matter that we all find it implausible. A wacky combination, yes, but when we analyse plausibility, it's simply a way of saying "are people likely to use this search phrase", and clearly they are. Finally, it's irrelevant that typing just "Prophet Muhammad" shows the current target: if you link this title, or you enter it into the URL bar, you're not shown any search suggestions. Remember that not everyone navigates via Special:Search. Nyttend (talk) 03:38, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
Keep per Nyttend. I don't have a strong opinion about the target, but it should match that of Prophet Muhammad and should be marked as a {{R avoided double redirect}} of that. Thryduulf (talk) 14:33, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
