The one with the whales[edit]

The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) Steel1943 (talk) 19:54, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a search engine, plus this is a extremely vague redirect- it could refer to plenty of things. It also should be noted that the only thing that comes up when I search for this exact phrase on Google is a completely unrelated book, and a post on the Star Trek subreddit discussing the existence... of this redirect. TheAwesomeHwyh 22:10, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Dunno, a Google search for me brings up 14 pages of results, while Google News has four pages. Almost all of them seem to be for the Star Trek film. PC78 (talk) 22:17, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The difference is not US/UK, at least as far as I can tell in the UK, it's whether you search for the exact phrase ("The one with the Whales") which gets me nearly all Star Trek related results, or just all of the words (The one with the Whales) that brings up almost no Star Trek references. Thryduulf (talk) 23:11, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • (edit conflict) Keep. All of the first 40 hits on google for me are either about Star Trek IV, references to it (e.g. "Whales can now be tracked from space. This is not a repeat from Star Trek IV: The One with the Wales" [1]) or allusions to it, e.g. [2]. Other than one result talking about this redirect - and that discussion itself is a reason to keep, because it shows there are external links to this redirect that would be unnecessarily broken. There is nothing else competing with the target for use of the phrase, let alone anything that comes close to competing for primary topic. Thryduulf (talk) 22:35, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Wikipedia is not Jeopardy. Redirects shouldn't be ad-hoc definitions or descriptions, even if they're common. That is the function and purpose of a search engine, not an encyclopedia. This Reddit thread even seems to exist for the very reason that it seems absurd that Wikipedia has such a redirect. However, there are instances where the phrase "The One With the Whales" is used not simply descriptively, but as a phrase of significance unto itself: [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], and I'm sure many more. Just because a phrase is in use, or even commented on, that does not, in my assessment, merit a redirect; but as these sources are so consistent in their phrasing, and as there is clearly not simply a familiarity with the phrase suggested in these sources, but in fact a warm-hearted sense of attachment to the phrase expressed, that implies (to me) that the phrase is more than just an easy and common nonce way to refer to the film—and therefore that it's a redirect probably worth keeping. (Not that sentiment merits a redirect, but that widespread sentimentality doesn't tend to exist for things that aren't really things.) — the Man in Question (in question) 08:02, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Thank you to the above editors for the up-to-date research. The justification for this redirect, as stated on its talk page, was recorded at Talk:Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home#"The one with the whales". – Fayenatic London 13:01, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And the redirect does have a point. The target is one of the better films of the franchise, but its title is not memorable; people remember much more the fact that whales were central to the plot, so the nominated phrase is actually useful in conversation. – Fayenatic London
  • Keep. Seems to be a set phrase with one specific referent, and I think the fact people are joking warmly about the redirect probably speaks in favour of its utility (as The Man in Question points out). A little silly but basically harmless. —Nizolan (talk · c.) 14:55, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fourth Empire[edit]

The result of the discussion was disambiguate. (non-admin closure) Steel1943 (talk) 20:18, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, "Reich" can be translated as empire, but the Nazis are hardly the only group to have multiple numbered empires (hypothetical or otherwise). This is too vague for a redirect, given that "Fourth Empire" doesn't appear to be used in sources discussing a Fourth Reich signed, Rosguill talk 22:23, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Steel1943 (talk) 18:26, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I started a draft after some research. As it turns out there are much fewer fourth empires than you might expect—I think the only two plausible real-world targets are the kingdoms of Daniel—which represent the overwhelming majority of references to a "fourth empire", in both historiographic and religious literature—and the Fourth British Empire. At the moment Historiography of the British Empire only mentions the concept of a Fourth British Empire once in a quote, but there seems to be a fairly wide range of usage in recent literature (e.g. [10], [11]). There do seem to be a few sources using "Fourth Empire" for the "Fourth Reich" so that could potentially be kept as an item. Rome could be listed as the traditional meaning of the Danielic usage. Other plausible options (like "Fourth Persian Empire") seem to be very rare and ambiguous. Haven't added the fictional ones Thryduulf pointed out yet. —Nizolan (talk · c.) 22:15, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I just added the fictional uses Thryduulf mentioned. Geolodus (talk) 06:56, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers. I also added Rome and Fourth Reich per my comment above (for a [weak] RS example of the latter [12]). —Nizolan (talk · c.) 13:29, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary disambiguation with virtually no usage. signed, Rosguill talk 14:16, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Then why are redirects like United Kingdom (UK) still existent? It's not really fair if redirects due to unneccesary disambiguation made a long time ago like United Kingdom (UK) should be kept but those by me recently should be deleted. Barracuda41 (talk) 16:45, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy keep. Nomination was in error, didn't realize that "Успенский" meant "dormition" and machine translations of the word failed. Withdrawing. (non-admin closure) signed, Rosguill talk 14:55, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of the Dormition of the Theotokos in the target article, couldn't find it in the ruWiki article either (although I could have missed it, not sure what the exact translation is). signed, Rosguill talk 13:09, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This should not be an issue, for example article on ruWiki clearly states the Dormition dedication (Успенский собор; собор Успения Пресвятой Богородицы). Sorabino (talk) 13:18, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

Implausible search term. This redirect has an interesting history (see the old nom), but as it does not actually have history itself and is not the original article referenced, it seem totally unnecessary and unuseful. Wikipedia can only be so self-referential. — the Man in Question (in question) 04:50, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per the previous discussion as nothing has changed since then. The fact that this has been a blue link since the days of CamelCase means that there are almost certainly links from external sites that would be unnecessarily broken - it is our duty as responsible net citizens to avoid creating link rot, and this is the perfect example of such. Thryduulf (talk) 10:25, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep, as anyone who's read the page history and the old nomination knows exactly why this must be kept. Nyttend (talk) 11:20, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Larry Sanger has publicly referred to this ancient Wikipedia formulation, the original CamelCase version for the article Aristotle on Wikipedia, which should be plenty of reason for keeping. It is a tip of the hat to our heritage as Wikipedians. Carrite (talk) 15:58, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Gallileo (skyscraper). --BDD (talk) 19:45, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to have no reference in article, and is a mispelling of Galileo. — the Man in Question (in question) 04:49, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I am seeing plenty of google hits for this exact spelling, but all of them are in German so WP:FORRED would apply even if this were the correct target (which seems unlikely as "Gebäudekomplex" translates as "building complex" so it's almost certainly something named after the person). Thryduulf (talk) 10:28, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to its original target, Gallileo (skyscraper) (which has been since moved). —Kusma (t·c) 18:21, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and retarget per Kusma. I can't see why a human would have retargeted it to Galileo Galilei (the retargeting was done by a bot after a pagemove), because the current target indeed doesn't make any sense. Good work, Kusma, tracking down the history; otherwise I'd be supporting deletion. Nyttend (talk) 20:15, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Maybe we should fix the underlying problem, which is that the primary topic for Gallileo should be the skyscraper, not the misspelling of the scientist. Those who misspell should have to click the hatnote instead of making it hard for the people who actually want to navigate to the page about the building... —Kusma (t·c) 08:05, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unhelpful misspelling, no reference in article. The article Africian Raga was deleted in 2015. — the Man in Question (in question) 04:48, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. This is a misspelling of "African raga", but that phrase does not appear anywhere in article space so whether it is a plausible misspelling or not we don't need to consider as there is no suitable target for it. Thryduulf (talk) 10:32, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Implausible search term, WP:SURPRISE. A bit of an odd redirect history for this one. — the Man in Question (in question) 04:18, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I can't find any obvious connection between the original target, You Can't Do That on Television (a Canadian sketch comedy TV programme) and the philosopher. However, given that the programme (1979-1990) long pre-dates the internet it's entirely possible that they did a sketch about him that is difficult to find. It does seem to be the title of a Professor Hobo comic [17] and loads of one-off puns, but nothing we have content about. Thryduulf (talk) 11:03, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Double misspelling (-pre- and -ician) to DAB page. — the Man in Question (in question) 04:14, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. This is not a misspelling that is commonly used. Excluding those that most probably originate on Wikipedia I can see only two uses of "Coprenician system" - an Amazon book review and a blog post (and I'm not certain those are independent of each other). "Coprenician" on its own adds only one more hit - another blog post (although that is independent of the first two). Thryduulf (talk) 10:42, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Implausible search term. Let's not set a precedent allowing all "ofs" to be "offs". What a nightmare that would be. — the Man in Question (in question) 04:12, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Queen Anne pistol. --BDD (talk) 19:32, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned in the target, an internet search would suggest that "overcoat pistol" can (also?) refer to styles of pistol that predated the Derringer. I'm open to this being redirected somewhere more appropriate, but I'm not currently aware of any obvious targets and thus would suggest deletion unless someone can provide a better target. signed, Rosguill talk 18:15, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Added note: I just came across Duelling pistol, which includes the following text Traveling pistols, also known as overcoat pistols, were intended for use by travelers to protect themselves from highwaymen and footpads; unlike dueling pistols, they were commonly rifled.. So, it would appear that this article has information about the subject (note that Derringer also fails to mention traveling pistols), but it's primarily about another topic. I'm thinking that the most appropriate solution is likely to expand Overcoat or Travelling pistol into an article of its own, but I lack the sources and domain knowledge to do that myself. signed, Rosguill talk 18:20, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The boxlock overcoat pistol or muff pistol was the 18th century precursor to the deringer. It was a large calibre flintlock pistol with a short barrel designed for concealment. Retarget to Queen Anne pistol. 53zodiac (talk) 18:53, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No objection to this retarget proposal. signed, Rosguill talk 19:06, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just retarget to Queen Anne pistol, and stop wasting my time. 53zodiac (talk) 19:00, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why hasn't this discussion been closed yet? Nobody else has commented after almost two weeks, and there are no objections to my proposed retarget. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 53zodiac (talk • contribs) 19:02, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Holster pistols are much larger and heavier than overcoat pistols because they were designed for military use. They fire standard musket size bullets, have an external hammer, are muzzle loaders, and are usually full stocked for maximum durability. Overcoat pistols are small for easy concealment, are usually loaded at the breech, typically have a box lock, and are made entirely from metal except for the handgrips. The picture below shows the difference. The holster pistol is at the top, the overcoat pistol is in the middle, and the muff pistol or vest pocket pistol is at the bottom. 53zodiac (talk) 21:11, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
