Paper Bowser

[edit]

no game under that title yet (give them time), wouldn't the list of paper mario characters be a better target? cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 20:20, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

oh wait
there's no section specifically for bowser there, and his article doesn't mention him in paper mario beyond "he was there". forget retargeting, i vote to delete as unhelpful cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 20:51, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Keeping under the idea that they might make a game with that title is pointless WP:CRYSTAL-gazing, and unfounded to boot. As it stands now, we have no information at all regarding Bowser's inclusion in the Paper Mario series, nor any other place where something might be known as 'Paper Bowser'.

City of Auckland

[edit]

The City of Auckland is a distinct entity from Auckland City. It is not discussed in proper detail in the Auckland article nor the Auckland City article. I do believe it has the merits to meet notability on it's own: e.g. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/46925/46925-h/46925-h.htm Deletion would be the best option as it doesn't mislead readers into a different entity and might encourage someone to create an article on it. Traumnovelle (talk) 22:25, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep All that's needed is to tag it with Template:R with possibilities. I've done so. Schwede66 08:39, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I still don't believe it's a good redirect. Auckland City is completely different to the City of Auckland. It'd be like having New York County redirect to New York City. It is only a partial continuation in area and most of Auckland City's area is from the County of Eden. The term being redirected serves to confuse the reader into thinking City of Auckland (note the important capitalisation as a proper noun) is just another name for Auckland or Auckland City. Traumnovelle (talk) 09:14, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Write content seems to be the obvious answer here. It needn't be more than a short paragraph detailing the status, extent, etc. on whichever of Auckland or Auckland City is the broader. This redirect can then be targetted there. Thryduulf (talk) 09:43, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree there should be content but in the absence of it I do not believe the current redirect is appropriate as it is misleading. Traumnovelle (talk) 04:09, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This title is pointless because "Elpincha" is only the name of the user who wrote the original content under this redirect (see history), and "2D" is short for "two demons". The unsourced 2005 content has a SNOW chance of being merged into the main article, and based on the edit summary of "counterweight to the current article" we can infer that it was probably an attempt at creating a fork.

Sportacus 9

[edit]

Relisted, see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 July 15#Sportacus 9

Sportacandy

[edit]

unlikely misspelling of "sportscandy"? i'm pretty sure most people would notice the typo and correct it around the n. unless it's meant to be a pun on "sportacus", in which case retarget to sportacus and then delete cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 17:56, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The LazyTown fandom wiki actually states that the character Ziggy uses "Sportacandy" as an alter ego-- something attested to in our article from all the way back before the 2007 creation of this redirect, all the way to September 2014-- when it was removed because Sportacandy was listed as its own character, when in reality, it's... just Ziggy. It's plausible to edit the Ziggy section to include a reference to Sportacandy, although I'll note that there's a considerable dearth of citations even in the current version of the section, much less the original Sportacandy section.
However, more pressing is that there's really no other place this redirect COULD go. Even throwing out the Sportacandy alter ego of Ziggy, the redirect is still a simple portmanteau of "Sportacus", a character from this show, and "Sports Candy", a name given to fruits and vegetables by Sportacus in the show (and mentioned repeatedly in the article)-- someone could easily misremember "Sports Candy" as "Sportacandy" for this reason. This, combined *with* the fact that said portmanteau can't properly be filed under WP:NEO because it is a name used in the show, means we should keep.

okay yeah fair enough i forgot about that part, weak keep cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 11:10, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Change redirect to LazyTown#Ziggy. Like lunamann wrote, Sportacandy is just the alter ego of Ziggy. I also think the removed sportacandy text from LazyTown should be re-added to Ziggy. That the same person is behind both characters does justify presenting it differently, but not removing it.--Snævar (talk) 15:49, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tone (color)

These two redirects should point to the same article. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 04:40, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Target both to Tint, shade and tone. The Lightness article has four mentions of the word Tone according to ctrl-f: the first is a link to Tint, shade and tone that pretty much rephrases that article's title ("Tints, shades, and tones"), the second is a See Also link that also goes to Tint, shade and tone, the third is a third link to Tint, shade and tone, this time as part of the Color Topics template, and the fourth is a link to Pantone that's also in the Color Topics template. From this we can easily deduce that the information someone looking for when they search Tone (color) is *not* on the Lightness page itself, and is instead on the Tint, Shade and Tone page. Retarget as appropriate. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 17:25, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

its indonesian and malay name. while they seem sort of associated enough, as malaysia and around half of indonesia are in southeast asia, the names and those two countries aren't mentioned in the target at all cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 16:47, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:RFOR. While I'm sure Malay and Indonesia use a lot of garlic in their cooking, so does most of the rest of the world, and so I don't think this is a topic closely associated enough with these countries to pass policy. Fieari (talk) 07:30, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Skorodon

[edit]

results gave me unrelated plants, funny-looking rocks with no relation to each other, and... really, everything besides garlic. seems to be a romanization of one of two ancient greek names for garlic, but i only found that by digging around wiktionary cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 16:41, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly retarget to Allium as an {{A2r}} from Scorodon? It looks like a plausible misspelling but then the question becomes, is "Scorodon" a valid redirect in the first place? Nickps (talk) 17:49, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
i'd say leave scorodon as is, but then delete skorodon as "clearly you know some greek if you're looking for this, so there's no excuse to misspell it" cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 12:52, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that's right. According to romanisation of Greek, skorodon is a valid romanisation under the system the Library of Congress uses. Nickps (talk) 13:06, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Microsoft® Windows® Operating System® Redirects With Pointless Legalese© Unicode® Characters™

[edit]

apparently previously subject to an RFD™ that ended in a TrainWreck©, consensus currently seems more inclined to delete redirects with copyright or trademark symbols CogSan© (Forum) (Our Portfolio) 16:20, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

forgot to link the rfd, oops. here it is. should someone try nominating all the remaining redirects again? cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 16:30, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all. While that RfD did mention the possibility of using ® as a disambiguator (separating, say, a search for Apple the fruit from a search for Apple Inc.), that's not applicable here-- the word Microsoft (and the words Operating System) are already disambiguator words, but even with the first one that has neither, Windows already goes to Microsoft Windows instead of Window. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 17:32, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Windows®, delete the rest. I agree that the lower two lack sufficient disambiguating strength to be kept, and they are unlikely search terms. However, there are reasonable things one could search for with the search term "Windows", and it wouldn't be unreasonable to have someone who knows their unicode shortcuts attempt to search Windows® to find the product. As such, I think this one ought be split. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 23:15, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed They might not realize windows already redirect to the product, and add a symbol to disambiguate naturally. The rest is plain excessive and unlikely. Ca talk to me! 06:32, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all The search function exists for a reason, we don't need to account for every obscure version of a name or unusual typo someone may possibly make once every 50 billion years. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 06:55, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Windows®, reasonable just like Microsoft®. Would likely be okay with Microsoft Windows®, if it existed. No opinion on the others. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 16:57, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Windows® per Godsy, Red-tailed hawk and Ca. If you have a compose key setup (and many people do) then it's exactly as easy to type ® as it as accented characters like é, ç and ŵ. (composeor and compose(r are both standard on at least my version of Linux), and it's also possible to copy and paste from somewhere else. Weak keep Microsoft® Windows® as it's plausible to copy that from some marketing or legalese somewhere. Delete the one with operating system as that's very unlikely. Thryduulf (talk) 13:03, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Windows®, delete the rest: As the restricted symbol does seem like a natural disambiguator for someone who doesn't know Windows already goes to the page for Microsoft Windows while the rest are implausible search terms. Schützenpanzer (Talk) 17:38, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Lua cites

[edit]

Completely implausible search term and unused as a shortcut as the empty WLH shows. If kept, it should be dabified between its current target and Module:Citation/CS2. Nickps (talk) 13:47, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

if you are going to propose deleting Wikipedia:Lua cites, you should also propose deleting these, just as unused, redirects:

These redirects are stepping-stone artifacts left behind in the process of creating Module:Citation/CS1. They are no longer needed or used.

Trappist the monk (talk) 14:17, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Template:Cite book/luaModule:Cite book would make sense too, ditto for the others. It's certainly more plausible than WP:Lua cites. Nickps (talk) 14:26, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I'd forgotten about those modules so repointing the redirects seems the appropriate thing to do. Can I just do that or will someone's panties get in a bunch because of 'process'?
Trappist the monk (talk) 14:40, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Considering that none of these templates are actually nominated for RfD, retargeting right away should be fine. Nickps (talk) 14:47, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done, except for Template:Citation/luaModule:Citation. That module exists as a nonfunctioning placeholder. It is the parent of Module:Citation/CS1 and was retained pursuant to a 2018 TfD.
Trappist the monk (talk) 15:13, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll open a separate RfDTfD for that one. Nickps (talk) 15:16, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Too ambiguous a term to redirect to one song with lyrics that repeat the word "no". Walsh90210 (talk) 04:50, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Too many potential targets, and not a distinct enough text string to be worth a disambiguator. Repeatedly saying "no" is not a unique expression that is linked to any one work, it's just a common way of expressing dismay, distress, or emphatic rejection! I mean, Lunamann's humorous cat video shows this pretty well, as does anyone who has ever dealt with a toddler for more than five minutes. Fieari (talk) 06:01, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
