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.

Before listing a redirect for discussion
[edit]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:Criteria for 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
[edit]- 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
[edit]
| This page is transcluded from Wikipedia:Redirect/Deletion reasons. (edit | history) |
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
[edit]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.)
- 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
suppressredirectuser right; available to page movers and admins), perform a round-robin move. If not, take the article to Requested moves. - 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
[edit]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
[edit]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. Climategate → 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 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 "Attorneygate" 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
[edit]- Details at Administrator instructions for RfD
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).

[edit]Move Your Body (Sean Paul song)

- Move Your Body (Sean Paul Song) → Sean Paul (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not mentioned at either target, leaving readers unable to find the information they may be looking for. (Note: Move Your Body (Sean Paul Song) is a {{R with history}} as a result of a WP:BLAR after being an article for about a week in 2017.) Steel1943 (talk) 04:52, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
- Keep redirect. Like it or not, this was released as a single, is currently not part of any album, and should be on the list of singles on his discography. Easy solution. HUMANXANTHRO (What you say about his company is what you say about society) 19:12, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- The issue here is that the two redirects don't go to the same target when they're only one letter off?Also, if it's unmentioned, either there's a good reason, or it should be added. One of the two. And that needs to be something that happens before a redirect points to the article; as per WP:RETURNTORED if we don't have the information, we shouldn't have a redirect that says we do. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 22:34, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- Unless the song gets appropriately mentioned on his bio or discography article, I'm inclined to say delete as implausible targeting. It makes no sense to redirect a page that doesn't even bring the subject up at all. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 02:28, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Template:Canadian politics/leadership election
[edit]- Template:Canadian politics/leadership election → Category:Canada leadership elections infobox templates (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This is an improper cross namespace redirect. Gonnym (talk) 09:12, 3 February 2026 (UTC)
Italian Alps
[edit]The existence of this redirect showing up on search results makes it look to readers like we have an article on the Italian alps. We don't, not even a section at the target. We could retarget to Northern Italy#Geography, which is reasonably informative, or delete the redirect. Cremastra (talk · contribs) 20:27, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
- Italy is mentioned dozens of times in Alps. Shouldn't that article just be improved to further clarify the geography of the mountains in the countries they overlay? BD2412 T 22:37, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
- It's a bit shocking that unlike other languages (d:Q3509494) we don't have an article here. There's the French Alps, Swiss Alps, and even an article on the very delimitation of the Alps, but not the Italian Alps. Over 100 articles link to this redirect. But given how the Alps are traditionally divided East/West rather than North/South, an article would be a bit of a hodgepodge. That can be seen in other languages' articles. In the interest of avoiding redundancy and helping the very many readers who come across redirect, I think a better idea than a redlink, which still encourages article creation, is a very short broad-concept article that briefly discusses Italian aspects of the Alps (like French Alps does) but mostly focusses on directing readers to the different subranges of the Italian Alps (e.g. Cottian Alps, Bergamasque Alps). Like it:Alpi italiane, but for now in much less detail. J947 ‡ edits 22:51, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
- I'm generally thinking along the same lines as J947 but my first thought was a list to complement Category:Mountain ranges of the Alps. If that were structured by country we could target this to Mountain ranges of Alps#Italy but I'm not sure how optimal that organisation would be? Thryduulf (talk) 23:04, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

Thalaivar
[edit]Quite a specific redirect for a generic Tamil term. "Thalaivar" (தலைவர்), or "leader" could refer to any politician, actor, etc. While he is known as "thalaivar" occasionally, the term is so generic that it could be referring to somebody else. Furthermore, it isn't mentioned in the article, as a Ctrl+F for "Thalaivar" returns nothing in the prose. thetechie@enwiki:~$ she/they | talk 02:28, 20 January 2026 (UTC)
- Keep Whatever be the generic nature of the term, that it is especially related to the actor is not deniable. I had created the redirect after coming across a number of the actor's films which directly referenced this moniker in their working titles: Thalaivar 169, Thalaivar 170, Thalaivar 171. Any other usages, if needed, can be easily disambiguated. Gotitbro (talk) 04:09, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

Jonah Hex (Arrowverse Earth-18)
[edit]- Jonah Hex (Arrowverse Earth-18) → List of Legends of Tomorrow characters#Jonah Hex (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Redirect for a gag character who appears for one scene in one episode Olliefant (she/her) 00:43, 3 February 2026 (UTC)
- Keep. Why does it matter? The character is still in the list article. Why would you make it harder for users to find information that still exists on a page? Gonnym (talk) 07:11, 3 February 2026 (UTC)
- Since it seems the original mention was changed, the redirect can target the entry at Crisis on Infinite Earths (Arrowverse)#Batwoman. Gonnym (talk) 07:32, 3 February 2026 (UTC)
Umbrage Ng
[edit]- Umbrage Ng → Ng Yat Chung (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I wish that it would be deleted as it is a nickname given to him over a statement he made GhostJp (talk) 03:06, 3 February 2026 (UTC)
Chemical resources
[edit]Delete. Not discussed or defined at the target. "Chemical resources" is a generic phrase that appears in several articles with no consistent meaning. It is usually not defined and the meaning is inferred from context, for example it may mean something similar to natural resources or it may mean molecules (chemicals) used by various organisms for biological processes. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 23:41, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
Living Environment
[edit]Delete or maybe retarget to New York Regents Examinations#Living Environment or New York Regents Examinations#Active exams and composition. The title case suggests this refers to the New York exam topic but the phrase is ambiguous. Sentence case Living environment does not exist. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 23:24, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- Redirect to New York Regents Examinations#Living Environment - the formal name, not a general biology topic. Asteramellus (talk) 00:34, 3 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Asteramellus I realized I made a mistake and the article section is actually New York Regents Examinations#Active exams and composition. I’ve now added an anchor at #Living Environment. Courtesy ping in case that changes your preference for where to target. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 01:31, 3 February 2026 (UTC)
The worst day of your life so far
[edit]- The worst day of your life so far → The Simpsons Movie (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Since we're on the subject...this isn't mentioned at the target. Not having seen the Simpsons Movie, I immediately instead thought of Office Space instead, which has a pretty memorable scene featuring something very much like this. But either way, again, it's not mentioned, so it's useless to those who know it but are looking for more information, and confusing to those who don't know it, so it should be deleted. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 22:00, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- Comment Since this is the third in the series of redirects pertaining to the Simpsons Movie's nude scene, I mentioned in another RfD that this is a well-known meme template. Xeroctic (talk) 22:13, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
ICE protests
[edit]- ICE protests → List of Renée Good protests (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not the only protests against ICE Jq talk 💬 contributions 21:48, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- Retarget to Abolish ICE or Protests against mass deportation during the second Trump administration; preferrable the former as it has a scope exceeding the second Trump term. Xeroctic (talk) 22:16, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- Retarget to Abolish ICE. I agree with statements by the nom and Xeroctic that "ICE protests" are not specific to the killing of Renée Good nor even to the second Trump administration. Although the exact phrase "ICE protest(s)" does not appear at the target, protests are discussed throughout and a prominent image of a 2018 protest is featured in the lead. I don't think it's necessary or helpful to refine to a section. This could be tagged as {{R from related topic}} or, if one exists, another more specific Rcat. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 22:42, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
Fields in biology
[edit]- Fields in biology → Biology#Branches (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Delete vague/ambiguous redirect. The section Biology#Branches no longer exists. I just retargeted a few somewhat related redirects to List of life sciences. The preposition in (as opposed to of) here gives me trouble. This might suggest something related to field research in biology or the general concept of fields which are relevant to ecology and some areas of organismal biology. Or even something like sterile field or the intersection of biology with the topics covered at Field (physics). ETA: See list of similar-ish redirects below. I was shaky on the appropriateness of some of those so feel free to second guess me but please do not bundle with this discussion since the issues with fields in are distinct.

Nutritional physiologist
[edit]- Nutritional physiologist → Physiology (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Delete unmentioned redirect. The article does not discuss this specific profession. There are two passing mentions of 'nutrition' at the target: one lists plant nutrition as a subdiscipline of plant physiology and one mention of Galen's view that the liver and veins […] can be attributed to nutrition and growth
. Anyone searching this term or clicking one of the two incoming links is expecting a substantive description of this profession or the related field. The article Nutritional physiology does not exist and Nutrition also does not describe this profession. The generic physiologist also redirects to the same target but this is more appropriate and in line with any similar redirects like botanist. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 21:19, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- Also: List of physiologists mentions 'nutrition' twice but no one is described as a 'nutritional physiologist'. Sending readers to this lengthy list to hunt for people who may or may not fit the description would also be unhelpful. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 21:23, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- Keep: At least two articles are using the redirect. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:34, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- Right, and anyone who clicks them will find zero coverage of the topic. Redirects are navigation aids. Targets that do not discuss the redirect and are not synonymous will confuse, mislead, or frustrate. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 22:47, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- Delete: Agree with Myceteae for the same reasons. Not a distinct area of physiology training nor could it be only a specific profession - too narrow. Typically over the past many decades, nutrition science is only a separate course in the overall training of a physiologist. Zefr (talk) 22:24, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
Animal biochemistry
[edit]- Animal biochemistry → Biochemistry (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Animal Biochemistry → Biochemistry (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I'm leaning 'delete' here. Animal Biochemistry was BLAR'd as copyvio in 2009. The pre-BLAR, apparently stolen material was a general description of biochemistry and not limited to animals. The sentence case redirect has no history other than its creation. Animals are mentioned throughout the current target but there is no single section that gives a comprehensive treatment or even a broad overview of "animal biochemistry". A related redirect, Animal physiology, targets Physiology. The section Physiology#Animal physiology consists entirely of a {{Main}} hatnote to Biology#Animal form and function, a section which no longer exists. I may nominate Animal physiology separately or boldly retarget after further investigation—and another editor should feel free to do so—but I have intentionally not bundled it since the topics are related but physiology and biochemistry are not synonymous. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 20:01, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
Bountiful penis
[edit]- Bountiful penis → The Simpsons Movie (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not mentioned at the target; not sure whether this quote is worth a retarget to wikiquote or not, or whether we should delete this redirect instead Duckmather (talk) 19:50, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- Comment Should this be bundled with Nude skateboarding, as a double redirect to it? Despite creating the redirect, I am unsure about this quote's notability/memorability, unlike The worst day of your life so far, a more notable quote/meme from the scene from the target. Xeroctic (talk) 21:31, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
Biochemical analysis
[edit]- Biochemical analysis → Biochemistry (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This may have a suitable target but I'm not sure which is best; deletion is not unreasonable for this unmentioned, vague/ambiguous term. This could refer to bioanalysis, blood tests and other medical laboratory analyses, various topics listed at Outline of biochemistry#Applications of biochemistry and Outline of biochemistry#Biochemical techniques, and probably others… —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 19:41, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
Comparative biochemistry
[edit]- Comparative biochemistry → Biochemistry (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not mentioned at the target. I'm inclined to delete, sort of per WP:RETURNTORED, although the edit history reveals some editors consider this a non-notable subfield. It is a real thing, has a few incoming links, and the phrase is used in other articles, including History of molecular evolution. That is not a suitable target as the terms are not synonymous and it includes a minimal description of what comparative biochemistry is. There is a DAB page Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology which includes three articles that are partial title matches. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 19:29, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
Department of Biochemistry
[edit]- Department of Biochemistry → Biochemistry (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Department of Biochemistry (disambiguation) → Department of Biochemistry (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I recommend deletion. Department of Biochemistry was moved to Department of Biochemistry, University of Oxford in 2007 and this redirect was created as a result. There was some back and forth with this as a woefully incomplete DAB page and this was converted to a redirect yesterday by User:Cfls. The target does not discuss departments. There is discussion of training and employment at Biochemist but I don't think this is particularly helpful to readers searching for Department of Biochemistry and merely adding a mention there that some biochemists train or work in such a department doesn't improve the encyclopedia and may be seen as obvious to many readers. This certainly should not target a specific department such as Department of Biochemistry, University of Oxford; the move should have been completed without leaving a redirect. A DAB page or set index article would be unwieldy. The years-long history indicates there was not much interest in compiling a comprehensive list, anyway. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 19:12, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
Note: The edit history for Department of Biochemistry includes a note from XFDcloser. I cannot find any prior RFD discussions via search and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Department of Biochemistry does not exist.

- That XFDcloser action was about a page linked from Department of Biochemistry (one of the entries in the DAB list), not about the Department of Biochemistry page itself. DMacks (talk) 19:37, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- I would support deleting Department of Biochemistry (disambiguation) and keeping Department of Biochemistry as a redirect (from a related phrase) to Biochemistry. Although the target does not discuss departments specifically, it provides substantial coverage of the academic discipline and should be helpful to readers for general information about biochemistry. I don't see this redirect as harmful, and redirects are inexpensive to keep. Cfls (talk) 19:46, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- The harm is that it contains essentially no information about the very specific search term. When a target does not actually discuss a topic, sending readers there wastes their time and is a disservice. It is highly unlikely someone searching "Department of Biochemistry" wants to read a nearly 5,000 word article about the field of biochemistry. This would qualify as WP:RSURPRISE although readers might initially assume the article does cover biochemistry departments explicitly and in detail and will leave frustrated or confused. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 20:11, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- "Department of Biochemistry" is a generic descriptor (academic department for studying biochemistry) rather than a distinct encyclopedic topic with a single natural target. I don't see this as a WP:RSURPRISE case in practice: the redirected-from notice is shown immediately, and Biochemistry is the closest general destination absent an institution qualifier. Readers are unlikely to be surprised and confused about this redirect. Cfls (talk) 23:53, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

- Keep I was all set to recommend deletion per the nominator, but when I checked to see examples of other things it could refer to I found that Spotify and Amazon at least regard "1997-2004" as the full title of the album, and it's not actually implausible given the only other text on the cover of all the album in all the pictures a Google image search is showing me is the band's name. The only other things this is a specific name for are clearly partial title matches (And Love Said No: The Greatest Hits 1997–2004 and Best Of (Chapter One 1997–2004)) or a subtitle (From Here on In (The Living End album)). The only other results a search for "1997-2004" site:en.wikipedia.org brings up are 1997 in British television (and clearly nobody using this search term is looking for that article), and four articles about British train operating companies (West Anglia Great Northern, Arriva Trains Northern, First North Western and ScotRail (National Express)) which fall squarely within my area of core subject matter knowledge and as such I can categorically state that this is not a remotely plausible search term for these articles.

Wikipedia:NCNAME
[edit]- Wikipedia:NCNAME → Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I've been looking at this redirect for a while, and determined that its current target doesn't sit well. I'd think someone looking to this redirect would be searching for something like Wikipedia:Naming conventions (name) or Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names); however, neither one of those exist. It seems the intent of this redirect upon its creation is to redirect to a naing convention for "people", but even then, it could potentially be ambiguous with the advice at Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthroponymy/Style advice#Titles (which should probably be its own "Naming conventions" page [or section of another naming conventions page] at this point, but that's a discussion for another day.) In addition, we also have Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) which includes the word "names". Quite frankly, it's not clear what readers may be trying to find when searching this shortcut, but it really cannot be assumed it's about people; the fact that the redirect doesn't have any incoming links doesn't make it any clearer.
With all that being said, my preferences for the fate of this redirect, in order of most preferred to least preferred, are the following 3 options:
- Delete due to lack of clarity of what this redirect is meant to refer.
- Retarget to Wikipedia:Article titles, the target of redirect Wikipedia:Naming conventions, though it may be a bit redundant since it's like saying "naming conventions name".
- Disambiguate if anyone else can figure that out as I have no idea how to assemble such a page since I have no idea what would be valid on it.
– Steel1943 (talk) 09:51, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
- Weak keep, as silly as having a "naming conventions for names" implies, the fact that we're already talking about a naming convention implies (by the maxim of quantity) that "name" refers to an additional qualifier that we might designate as such, rather than generically to article names. I'll admit that Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) is also quite redundant by this very same maxim, and I wouldn't be opposed to it being trimmed down to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geography) Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 09:55, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

- Comment The town one is probably worth disambiguating. The village one I'm not so sure. We don't have any "villages" officially here in Georgia (USA), as they do in New York, for example, AFAIK. I think, legally, all Georgia municipalities are cities, but town is definitely colloquially used for smaller ones. "Village" is really more of a Northern US dialect. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 04:24, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: This discussion should probably be folded into the similar discussion on City (Georgia) which has been running for some time. The considerations will be nearly identical for each of the three redirects. Colonies Chris (talk) 09:51, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- I'm actually wondering if these two should be unbundled and nominated separately, based on the discussion so far. This all hinges on specific meanings and usage of village, town, and city in the context of the state and the country. I don't think we're necessarily in WP:TRAINWRECK territory with just two redirects but the decisions could diverge. I would not bundle these with the ongoing discussion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2026 January 30#City (Georgia). Adding two new redirects so late and after so many different opinions have been expressed there is likely to prolong the discussion and make it more difficult to assess consensus. The eventual outcome there may be informative for handling these redirects but I think it will likely come down to whether and how each designation is used in each Georgia. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 17:35, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: Although I can indeed find no settlements in Georgia described as a village in our articles, there are a couple of mentions in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia implying that 'village' and even 'hamlet' have some sort of legal meaning in Georgia.

Marked as an avoided double redirect to Astronomica (a disambiguation page), but I'm not sure whether it's plausible for any of the topics listed on the page to be referred to as "The Astronomica" (emphasis added), though this one seems like the most plausible one. I'm torn between keep and delete. Duckmather (talk) 22:27, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- Keep (subject to the ongoing move request, i.e., it should target the Manilius work, wherever that winds up). That very much does seem to be referred to "The" Astronomica, and is done so in the very first sentence of the article. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 18:32, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- Keep, keep targeting the Manilius work, and remove the double redirect notice. The wrong double-redirect target is is just some cruft from an abortive dab swap, sorry.

- A search of Wikipedia reveals no suitable targets and in fact no mention of the phrase blue-ribbon bisexual anywhere except for these redirects. My external (web) search, referenced in my initial response, revealed a hodgepodge of similar phrases. None appeared notable and none used these specific strings of words. A Google search for "blue-ribbon bisexual" with quotes turned up only two hits: This RFD discussion and this seemingly inactive Twitter account of a non-notable individual with fewer than 700 followers. Two hits is staggeringly low. Even fairly niche LGBTQ slang and terminology will (often) have many page of Google hits from wiki-unreliable sources and often some coverage in RS. By all indications, the term blue-ribbon bisexual is essentially not in use but may be an occasional coinage with no consistent meaning and no wiki-verifiably notable meaning. And, again, no specific relationship to lesbians. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 20:56, 1 February 2026 (UTC) edited 23:22, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

- Comment: this was originally a redirect to Gold star lesbian, which was merged within Lesbian and now it exists under another title for the general term Gold star; Blue ribbon says it's something that exists at high quality. Looking at the page historial, the term was mentioned, from this website, here's the meaning:
Blue-ribbon bisexuals – have had multiple serious relationships with partners of different genders
. What it appears to be: a proposal for an inverse counterpart to Gold star lesbian, and implying this would be a high-quality (blue-ribbon) bisexual. But as Myceteae found out, this term never really caught on. That website was probably one of the first shown via Google at that time, now it's faded into obscurity.

Inconsistent with each other. I'm wondering if other redirects need to be retargeted or nominated: Straight trans man, Bisexual trans woman, Asexual trans woman, Straight trans woman. For reference, Cis gay man exists. Abesca (talk) 19:09, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- In my view, most of the redirects (probably not "Transmen attracted to men" or "Transwomen attracted to women"), have some possible value, although Trans gay men, Trans lesbian, Transgender lesbian, and Lesbian trans woman have a stronger case to be kept due to their mentions across pages. Trans dyke may have some value, as it refers to "tryke" I think. Otherwise, "Bisexual trans woman" has value in being kept, due to mentioned on pages on here, as does "Straight trans woman" (I used it on three pages: List of animated series with LGBTQ characters: 2010–2014, List of fictional transgender characters, and List of cross-dressing characters in animated series). I'm not sure about "Asexual trans woman", "Cis gay man", or "Straight trans man", though. Historyday01 (talk) 19:47, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
Ethopharmacology
[edit]- Ethopharmacology → Pharmacology#Behavioral pharmacology (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I would delete this unmentioned redirect but this is an {{R from merge}} so I understand that is not to be done lightly. Note that the "Behavioral pharmacology" section no longer exists. Ethopharmacology was previously a poorly sourced stub that was merged into the main article in 2015. The content was reorganized and moved around and eventually removed in 2020 (Special:Diff/936612708) as part of an entire section that failed verification. Now the redirect only serves to frustrate, confuse, or mislead readers who will find zero coverage of the topic. The topic is probably notable, with over 4,000 Google Scholar hits, so WP:RETURNTORED applies. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 18:35, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

Ethopharmacology is also mentioned in a reference at Tandospirone and an in the infobox at Ina Vandebroek. I found no mention in article prose and no description or definition anywhere on internal search.[2] If suitable coverage (more than a passing mention) is added back to Pharmacology or to Human ethology or some other article that may be a suitable target. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 19:03, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

[edit]I suggest retarget to love. If 😍 redirects to love despite also being a "love face", why is this one redirecting specifically to Romantic love? SeaHaircutSoilReplace 07:05, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- Weak retarget per nom. The official name of this unicode character is just "Smiling Face with Hearts," and it might be used to express love, adoration, happiness, gratitude, etc. There is similar ambiguity with 😍 ("Smiling Face with Heart-Shaped Eyes"). Hearts in Unicode#List of heart related emojis is another possible target. I2Overcome talk 10:55, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- Emojipedia and my own experience agree with you—like many emojis, this can have a variety of meanings from happiness to romantic love. Emojipedia says it is especially associated with being in love. I think Love is a better target than Romance but Hearts in Unicode#List of heart related emojis might be even better. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 16:51, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- In my experience, this emoji is used to express gratitude, agreeableness, or a thank you, and it's more similar to the use of 🤗 and care emoji]. Abesca (talk) 17:40, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

- Retarget to Hearts in Unicode#List of heart related emojis. This emoji does not map unambiguously to another encyclopedic concept.

Minus ion
[edit]- Minus ion → Negative air ionization therapy (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
big RASTONISH. i would expect it much more to redirect to something like ion instead of what it actually does. Oreocooke (talk) 00:44, 18 January 2026 (UTC)
- ok so i did a bit of digging and it used to be an article but got BLARred. that answers why, but RASTONISH is about least astonishment, so it still applies. Oreocooke (talk) 00:51, 18 January 2026 (UTC)
- Delete. I would also expect this to point to Ion#Anions and cations but this is not a standard way to refer to anions. A cursory Google search reveals a lot of seemingly pseudoscientific products and concepts associated with the term minus ion, including but not limited to negative air ionization therapy. The term is not used at the current target, making this redirect unhelpful. The article that existed at this title was BLAR'd in 2010. No content was merged into the target and the pre-BLAR article was poorly sourced and promotional. It can safely be deleted. I doubt there is any information about minus ions that can be added anywhere on en-wiki. If there is, it would require all new sourcing and content and it's not clear that Negative air ionization therapy would be the best place for this coverage. The sole use of Minus ion in article space is at Little Girl (Miwa song). The meaning in the quoted material is unclear and is therefore in violation of MOS:NOLINKQUOTE; I will remove the wikilink. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 03:40, 18 January 2026 (UTC)
- Weak retarget to Ion § Anions and cations as an {{r avoided double redirect}} to negative ion. Either that or delete – we can't stay here.
- Given that "minus ion" is clearly not the correct way to refer to an anion, I don't think you'll get very many google hits for it, especially since "negatve" is more used than "minus" in this context. However, in this case internet coverage doesn't necessarily reflect actual usage, and I find it perfectly plausible that someone with no knowledge of chemistry would refer not unreasonably to a "minus ion" if they forget the correct terminology. Pseudoscience is usually overrepresented on internet coverage, and mental errors underrrepresented as there is, usually, a barrier between what goes on on peoples' brains and what they publish on the web. (When doing some cursory searches, I did find this, which was interesting but not, I think, especially helpful to us.) I'm sure Thryduulf can attest that I have next to no confidence in LLMs, but I did find it interesting that when I typed in "minus ion" (no quote marks) to Google, its accursed AI Overview pointed me unhesitatingly to anions. Cremastra (talk · contribs) 20:11, 20 January 2026 (UTC)
- i prefer this course of action Oreocooke (talk) 19:06, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
- I'm sympathetic to this view and could maybe come around. My one hesitation is that it is precisely because pseudoscience is overrepresented online that readers searching an online encyclopedia for this term will very likely have encountered this specific usage and will be looking for more information on the pseudoscience or marketing topic. When a term is widely used in one context (or set of related contexts) that we do not cover on en-wiki, and is also a plausible but hard-to-prove error for a different topic that we do cover, I find it difficult to confidently assign the target. That said, the pseudoscientific use of minus ion does ultimately refer to anions. So the proposed target is not strictly speaking incorrect but it fails to address a (likely) common reason for the search. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 19:48, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

- @Abesca: I do not. If a reader is specifically searching for a "President Silva" then they are not looking for any of the dozens of people in that section who are not a "President Silva", and should not be forced to comb through them.

- DABify. I agree with Thryduulf that this is a very plausible but ambiguous search term. I also agree with BD2412's reply above. "President Silva" is a specific search term and should return a narrower set of results. There are dozens of entries listed under Silva (surname)#Political and military figures and only a small handful have been presidents. Readers would be better served by a dedicated President Silva DAB page. The presidents should, of course, also remain on the master list at Silva (surname)#Political and military figures. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 19:12, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

WP:SETINDEX seems off since I would not conceptualize this as a list of a a certain type of person with the surname Silva who shares the characteristic of having been a president… I suppose one could approach this either way but I see this as a straightforward DAB page.

PS Seabird

No mention at target or anywhere else on enwiki. A quick Google search brings up nothing about a paddle steamer with this name. Mdewman6 (talk) 03:01, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- Add mention and keep but mark as a {{R from misspelling}}. Most of my Google results were partial title matches for the "PS Seabird Survey" by the Washington Ornithological Society (I'm guessing that "PS" stands for Puget Sound here). However I was able to find [4] which states "In 1868, [paddle steamer] Seabird was engulfed in a fire and at least 100 people lost their life through fire or drowning." but I don't know how reliable that site is. This book is reliable and confirms the existence of the ship ("Among the other notable boats were the Seabird and the Eliza Anderson. The former carried immense crowds, but drew too much water for the river trade.") but doesn't say anything else about it. This Facebook post about a different shipwreck includes the sentence "The Alpena was purchased by Goodrich in 1868 From Gallagher to replace the Steamer Seabird which burned off of Waukegan IL in 1868." That led me to [5] which contains more than enough referenced information about the sinking of a paddle steamer named "Sea Bird" off Waukegan, Illinois on 9 April 1868 for an entry, indeed it looks like there is enough information to write an article. "Seabird" is very obviously a plausible search term for "Sea Bird". Thryduulf (talk) 14:32, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

- 2025 October 22 § Fancruft – Retarget
Somehow this slipped past the radar quite recently and became a XNR. I thinking it's worth quoting the aforementioned essay here: Currently, the general consensus seems to be that most newly created cross-namespace redirects from the main (article) namespace to the Wikipedia (project) namespace should be deleted, but that very old ones might retain their value for extra-Wikipedia links.
It is true that this term is primarily associated with Wikipedia, but the policy when it comes to XNRs is that they are preferably (when they exist at all) not common search terms, as they are meant for editors, not readers. I think a soft redirect to Wiktionary is fine. — An anonymous username, not my real name 01:06, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

- Keep. This case makes sense as an exception, since the Wikipedia essay is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and provides more information than the Wiktionary entry. This term doesn't appear to have a meaning outside of Wikipedia, so anyone searching for this is likely looking for what this means on Wikipedia. I2Overcome talk 08:21, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- The guideline you cited is about disambiguation/article titles, not redirects. It could be argued that any Wikipedia-specific topic would have more information in projectspace, but there is a pretty strong convention against doing this for the sake of keeping the editor and reader sides of the encyclopedia separate. — An anonymous username, not my real name 18:23, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- keep per the previous rfd. i couldn't actually find a single use that didn't refer to or come from its use on wikipedia, and even wikt:fancruft describes it as wikipedia slang. unless an article happens to pop up, this would be the best target. it also doesn't trample wp:xnr or anything for more or less the same reason as something like edit request, where it's very easy to tell that a reader would specifically be looking for the info on projectspace consarn (talck) (contirbuton s) 13:54, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

- Do not keep, and ideally delete. It's a completely inappropriate WP:XNR from a search topic to a Wkipedia essay. It's also not appropriate to make a Wikt soft redir (it almost never is, for reasons I've gone into before). I'm sympathetic to EL's retarget suggestion above (and if it absolutely can't be deleted, that's probably the best option), but looking at the source, it's just a quick use and not actually defined, and there's not really enough here to really justify the redirect. Even the source doesn't justify the WP article's use of "derogatory" on top; it's used more neutrally instead. Leaving this as a redlink to aid searching would most benefit our readers (remember that such a search will show the Wikt entry and a link to it right at the top!). –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 17:19, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

The AFD closed on 14 June 2012 but this was not converted to a redirect until 27 December 2012.[6] The edit summary for the redirect does not say anything about a merger. There were no edits to Nick Jonas on the day Nick Jonas Promotional Concerts was converted to a redirect. The versions of Nick Jonas immediately before[7] and after[8] the redirect's creation make no mention of "Nick Jonas Promotional Concerts" and do not appear to contain any merged content per my spot check. My perspective is biased since I spend far more time at RFD than AFD, but this appears to be an all-too-common occurrence where an AFD is closed as 'merged' but no merger actually occurs. This creates confusion at RFD and can lead to the preservation of useless and misleading redirects. My understanding is that {{R from merge}} should only be used when content has actually been merged, and not solely based on a discussion that said a merger was supposed to have happened. Thus I would remove the {{R from merge}} tag if kept or retargeted unless I am mistaken. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 20:25, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Myceteae: "
...this appears to be an all-too-common occurrence where an AFD is closed as 'merged' but no merger actually occurs
". Yep, I can't stand when that happens either since it leaves someone who tries their darnest to get Rcats right in a position where they have to either trust the AfD result and assume it got closed right or not trust the AfD result and assume things did not get closed right and have to dig through the history to validate, as you and J947 did. This right here is why I am all about all close results needing the be executed by the discussion closer upon or shortly after the close ... unless the result was performed prior to the close: It creates a level of accountability that needs to occur here. (By the way, for what it's worth, if no merge occurred, this redirect would most likely be a {{R with history}} instead.) Steel1943 (talk) 03:30, 2 February 2026 (UTC)- At a minimum, editors !voting 'merge' should be specific about which content should be merged and where it fits into the target article. Closers should be more specific that consensus to merge is the outcome of the discussion without falsely indicating or implying that it has been done. I have (rarely) seen closes that say something along the lines of 'interested editors may complete the merger'. Thanks for doing your part, @Steel1943, to try and straighten this out. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 15:33, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Edge of space
[edit]- Edge of space → Kármán line#Edge of space (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
The redirect targets the section where it targets, but then the target article itself has a link for edge of space, targeting Outer space#Boundary. I'm not sure which target is more applicable/preferred. Steel1943 (talk) 18:31, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
- Retarget to Outer space#Boundary.–DMartin (talk) 06:58, 18 January 2026 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) I was going to suggest retargetting to Outer space#Boundary and to update the two hatnotes which would need updating. The current target describes the Kármán line as simply one definition of the edge of space. But the current target also describes "edge of space" as a specific term with a specific meaning – near space, just below the Kármán line. We have an article on near space, but the current target arguably describes this term in more detail and with easier navigation to Outer space#Boundary. Complicating matters further, the lion's share of incoming links to this redirect intend "edge of space" to mean the Kármán line, rather than near space just below the Kármán line. Indeed, this redirect is actually a former title of the article on the Kármán line. So in conclusion, I have no idea. J947 ‡ edits 06:59, 18 January 2026 (UTC)
- Keep. "Edge of space" is neither about Outer space (outside the edge) nor Near space (inside the edge). "Kármán line" is pretty much established to describe the concept generically, not limited to specific definitions. CapnZapp (talk) 12:09, 18 January 2026 (UTC)
- Disambiguate. There are many things that can be referred as "edge of space", including the film Edge of Space, a sub-show called "The Edge of Space" in Starstuff, and various terms like the Kármán line literally meaning the edge of space. Mathguy2718 (talk) 05:14, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- I "sort of" oppose this option. I support the creation of Edge of space (disambiguation) per this comment, but I oppose putting the disambiguation page at Edge of space since this title has a WP:RPRIMARY target somewhere, whether it be the current target, Outer space#Boundary, or something similar. Steel1943 (talk) 18:54, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- This is rather contradictory. If the primary topic is not obvious that would suggest the need to convert this to a dab page. Or is your position that these targets are all equally plausible places to describe the related definitions and that we should pick one that has the best overview of the related topics/definitions? —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 17:52, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

Intellect (videophone)
[edit]...what? this doesn't seem to be a term in the context of telephony, videotelephony, or fraud, and even if it was, i found nothing that suggests that it would be a synonym for "fraud" or that this would be a grammatically correct disambiguator unless it's referring to a specific model of videophone consarn (talck) (contirbuton s) 00:18, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- This was originally a redirect to Videophone#Other early devices, and the section it linked to is [here. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Videophone&oldid=379811087#Other_early_devices:_1976%E2%80%931999] Or at least that's the section it was INTENDED to link to, the anchor seemed... malformed???
Anyways, after a merge in 2012 with Videotelephony that... happened again in 2017???... this redirect was pointed there by a bot, and then... the creator of the redirect saw that the reference to the Intellect had been removed as it was "fraudulent" and rather than getting the redirect deleted, retargeted the redirect to "Fraud"????I am extremely confused but I'm pretty sure this should get deleted. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 02:18, 1 February 2026 (UTC)- The retargeting is probably a protest from the creator, right? Abesca (talk) 18:12, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- let's make it weirder!! here are some details i found...
- mentions of the intellect seem to have mostly been written/copyedited by this redirect's creator since its creation by someone else in 2007... but they also removed it in 2012, and vandalized the redirect (yeah i'm just gonna call it vandalism) in 2013
- of the sources i could find for the intellect scattered across the history, some only mentioned the intellect in passing... and some don't seem to have ever existed in the first place. i couldn't even find proof of their existence in the internet archive. that said, this might just be a skill issue in my part
- my fridge is broken (╬▔皿▔)╯
- looking for results and stuff, i found nearly nothing of note. most mentions were either in passing or coincidental, and i also found nothing on its inventor being a fraudster or the intellect being a fraud. the only result i got that someone could maybe probably argue isn't as in passing as the others and might be reliable was this, but it's written in some sort of indecipherable glyphs, mentions of the intellect itself are still just kind of a sidenote, and it might have been written after the site turned into betting slop

Intentional misrepresentation
[edit]- Intentional misrepresentation → Fraud (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
this is a weird one, in that it can refer to any kind of misrepresentation, even beyond misrepresentation covers. this means fraud, sure, but it can also refer to seemingly any type of shenanigan in which the deceit is intentional, regardless of whether or not other details are, of the degree of the deceit, and of whether or not that degree has been calculated. in legal documents, guides, and other such stuff, this seems to apply as synonyms to either specific kinds or any kind of bamboozling, in court or otherwise
all of this is to say, i'm torn between retargeting to misreprentation as "close enough but maybe not actually accurate enough to what a reader should find", or to lie as "technically more true but maybe not actually what a reader would be looking for under this specific context" consarn (talck) (contirbuton s) 00:14, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

Not mentioned at target. Marked as a double redirect to Don't have a cow!, which redirects to the disambiguation page Don't have a cow, which has four items, none of which could plausibly be referred to as "having a cow".

Facepalm –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 19:24, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

- @Thryduulf: I would definitely agree with having the term at the base title, "Have a cow", with "Don't have a cow" merged and redirected there. Obviously the expression, "Don't have a cow", is contingent on the existence of a concept of "having a cow". BD2412 T 19:43, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

ELdEL69 also started a discussion on the talk page, so all in all I think the removal was fine per WP:BOLD, but from what I can tell, none of the lists exclude Legends content as part of their criteria.

Delete unmentioned redirect that is either an error or a very obscure someimes-synonym with an ambiguous meaning. wikt:amphisexual defines this as "Able to develop into either sex." The redirect appears to be a frank error but it's possible this is an also a very obscure synonym for bisexual or ambisexual which has multiple meanings. Internal search reveals that the word is used only twice, in references to this article which refers to paternal care of eggs in the insect Rhynocoris tristis—"bisexuality" is not a plausible reading of the meaning here. Note that Draft:Amphisexual was never a draft of Bisexuality but was a draft of Amphisexual. This was always a soft redirect to Wiktionary, which as noted does not define this as synonymous with 'bisexual(ity)' (!) before being redirected to the current target —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 19:37, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

(The spike in views on January 29 is best explained by my prior RFD listing and as many as half of those might be from me revisiting the history and usage of this redirect.)

- See also my response above in the amphisexual discussion. Ambosexual has higher pageviews than amphisexual but also is not linked in articles and the word itself does not even appear in articles. This doesn't meet the criteria for a soft redirect pet WP:SOFTSP and Template:Wiktionary redirect. The Esperanto Wikipedia article on Bisexuality is titled eo:Ambaŭseksemo. wikt:ambosexual has no entry for Esperanto and only includes the (obscure) English meaning. Google gives ambaŭseksema as the Esperanto translation for bisexual and does not detect ambosexual as a word in Esperanto. I don't speak Esperanto and I realize that the sources I've consulted are not definitive, but I can't find any support for this assertion.

The "History of" modification does increase the likelihood that someone is searching for the former provincial city but Huế#History already has a 'See also' hatnote pointing to Huế (provincial city) which anticipates any potential confusion or ambiguity. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 20:04, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

Delete ambiguous terms that are not mentioned or defined at the target. Soft redirect to Wiktionary may be an appropriate alternative. Dictionaries give several definitions including bisexuality, intersex, sexually ambiguous, and unisex. (See: wikt:ambisexual and Merriam-Webster.) The sole use of any of these redirects in articles was a link to ambisexual in a direct quote at Algie the Miner#Analysis. The intended meaning there appears closer to sexually ambiguous/gender ambiguity; I have removed the wikilink per MOS:LINKQUOTE. An internal search reveals that ambisexual is used with different meanings on en-wiki; for example, as synonymous with intersex in a footnote at Gender symbol and as sexually ambiguous/ambiguous gender at Ursula K. Le Guin § Gender and sexuality. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 19:18, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- Mentioned in History of bisexuality, which address hermaphrodite meaning and other possibilities. Abesca (talk) 19:50, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- The term is mentioned once at History of bisexuality § Kinsey reports:
The scale considered people between K=1 and K=5 as "ambisexual" or "bisexual".
- The next paragraph in the same section includes this line:
However, Kinsey himself disliked the use of the term bisexual to describe individuals who engage in sexual activity with both sexes, preferring to use "bisexual" in its original, biological sense as hermaphroditic…
- This passing mention is not enough to justify a redirect here and doesn't actually address the various meanings of ambisexual but instead provides one example of historical usage. This includes a now-obsolete meaning of bisexual but doesn't address current or historical meanings of ambisexual. Taken together, the descriptions in this section are more likely to mislead readers into thinking that ambisexual unambiguously maps to the modern meaning of bisexual, when the opposite is true. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 20:19, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

World Heritage & Recognitions of Bangladesh
[edit]- World Heritage & Recognitions of Bangladesh → List of World Heritage Sites in Bangladesh (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Delete it, it is an implausible term. I know that WP:AMPERSAND exists, but I am not sure about the policy on ampersands in redirects (could someone inform me?) Regardless I don't think it is plausible User:Easternsahara 22:20, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
- In terms of ampersands in redirects, if a title or redirect including "and" is useful then the same term using "&" is almost also going to be equally useful as a redirect (and vice versa). In this case World Heritage and Recognitions of Bangladesh doesn't exist, but should be created if this is not deleted. Thryduulf (talk) 15:21, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
- The title is an WP:XY and is not suitable. "Recognitions" could as well refer to Orders, decorations, and medals of Bangladesh. Either move the page to a title not having "recognitions", or restore the pre-BLAR content, and rename if it's not going to AfD. Jay 💬 07:52, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

[edit]- Faunal turnover → Turnover-pulse hypothesis (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
The target has been changed twice, with both edit summaries rather tentative in nature. The current target is a specific hypothesis that has been disputed whereas faunal (or any other biological) turnover in general is accepted as fact by everyone except perhaps Young-Earth Creationists. I think this should be deleted as RETURNTORED. — An anonymous username, not my real name 16:15, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- Delete unless a suitable target is found or content is added to describe the term generally. I agree that WP:RETURNTORED likely applies as a substantive encyclopedic entry can probably be written. If not a full article, then a dedicated section or at least a paragraph-length treatment that provides a general overview with links to important subtopics and related topics. Prior unilateral retargets are of course not binding anyway, but I agree with the nom's assessment that the edit summaries appear tentative and don't provide robust support for any of the targets that have been selected in the past.—Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 21:34, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

Litauen
[edit]"Litauen" is the name of Lithuania in several Germanic languages, but we don't want redirects for all non-English names of countries. Case in point: Lituanie (French name of the country) was deleted yesterday with reference to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lists of country names in various languages (3rd nomination). Chrisahn (talk) 14:18, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- Weak keep - No strong feelings, but redirects are cheap, and if someone doesn't speak German, and comes across a reference to Litauen (maybe on a postage stamp) they might be glad of the pointer. It's different enough from the English name that people might not easily guess. Doric Loon (talk) 14:26, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- Reasonable points. On the other hand: Where do we draw the line? On Lithuania (Q37), "Litauen" (whole word) occurs 29 times, "Lituanie" (the redirect that was deleted yesterday) occurs 17 times. I lean towards deleting both, but I don't feel strongly about it either. — Chrisahn (talk) 16:04, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- The relevant question here is WP:RLANG and the question of affinity. Is Litauen the name of Lithuania in a language *spoken by a significant number of Lithuanians*, or similar? 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 15:48, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- Good point. "spoken by a significant number of Lithuanians" – Certainly not today, and probably not in the past either. Baltic Germans were up to 10% of the population of Estonia and Latvia, but not Lithuania. Some Germans lived in Lithuania, but not a significant number, as far as I can tell, roughly 2% or the population. See e.g. de:Deutsche Minderheit in Litauen, [10]. — Chrisahn (talk) 16:23, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

List of African American philosophers
[edit]- List of African American philosophers → Africana philosophy#List of African philosophers (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not linked from any articles. Incorrect redirect target. Used to be a list page, was turned into a redirect to Africana philosophy#List of Africana philosophers 15 years ago, but that list was deleted from the article two years ago, and "Africana philosophers" isn't the same as "African American philosophers" anyway. Maybe a list of African-American philosophers would be useful, but at the moment it looks like we don't have such a list. We should delete the redirect. Chrisahn (talk) 14:02, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

Lithauen
[edit]- Lithauen → International Naturist Federation (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Target does not contain anything that could refer to "Lithauen", including variations and translations of Lithuania. Not sure how plausible this is as a redirect to the country, since it is a misspelling of the German translation ("Litauen"). Mathguy2718 (talk) 04:29, 24 January 2026 (UTC)
- Delete There is no useful target on the English Wikipedia. I don't think this is just a misspelling of "Litauen" though, my google results suggest it is also an older form of the German name (particularly it seems to be used in reference to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth) and I also got quite a few results in Danish (and dk:Lithauen does redirect to dk:Litauen (the article about the modern country), but it isn't mentioned in the article), but whether it's an old spelling, alternative spelling or misspelling I don't know (and is also not relevant here). Thryduulf (talk) 14:17, 24 January 2026 (UTC)
- Weak retarget to Lithuania, on the basis that nl:wiktionary:Lithauen does state (though without a source) that it's an alternative spelling of "Litauen", and "Litauen" already redirects to the Lithuania article on enwiki Duckmather (talk) 19:03, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

[edit]Suggesting deletion. She is mentioned in a couple of dozen Wikipedia articles, but in a quite random fashion the page is currently a redirect to an article about an album in which she is only a guest on a single non-notable track and which says absolutely nothing about her. Ana Cañas is a prominent Brazilian Latin Grammy nominated singer-songwriter, and per WP:REDLINK a redlink would be more useful, as it would encourage editors to create the page.

Huế (city in Vietnam)
[edit]Recently created, originally as a duplication of an existing page by a now-banned user. Unlikely combination of non-standard disambiguator and name with specific diacritics. FromCzech (talk) 07:25, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- Keep Unambiguous and harmless. This user is not blocked as a sock, but rather for 31 hours for unsourced content. So I don't think G5 applies here anyways. Servite et contribuere (talk) 08:03, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- Delete As outlined in the nomination, it's implausible as a search term or link target, and I disagree that it's harmless. The page was created for the purpose of bypassing semi-protection at Huế, and for continuing the disruptive editing that the protection was meant to prevent. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:58, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- Delete. The redirect could also refer to Huế (provincial city), making this ambiguous. The original title of this page was Draft:Huế (city), but in the article space, it redirects to the former provincial city. I'm surprised there isn't a hatnote at Huế. Also, the disambiguator "city in Vietnam" seems unlikely since no other city has such a redirect formatted with the disambiguator "(city in country)". Mathguy2718 (talk) 20:27, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- Keep per Servite et contribuere. The current target is the primary topic for "Huế" and is a city in Vietnam. I've added a hatnote to the former provincial city (which should be there anyway) so anyone looking for that will easily find it. The motivation of the creator is not relevant, what matters is whether someone using this search term will find what they are looking for. The answer to that question is clearly "yes".

- Delete, unmentioned. Juwan, redirects should follow content, not the other way around.

- Keep Carol Holiday as we can easily add her—with {{visible anchor}} if needed—in Noelle Holiday's section. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 02:23, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
- Delete all with one exception; they are, as follows:
-An enemy only notable because the furry fandom is horny for her
-An NPC that barely gets any screentime
-A name that Gerson Boom gets referred to by in the UI as the protagonists, and likely the player, don't know his name at that point (Keep this one, the fact that it redirects to a specific section that does exist should've been a clue that this is a mentioned character)
-A set of shopkeepers that only get notable screentime in Chapter 2
-The mother of Noelle Holiday; while it could be argued that she's notable or will become notable (although the latter runs into WP:CRYSTAL issues), the fact remains that she's not in the article yet; as per Deacon we need to follow the content, not the other way around.

For Sweet Capn’ Cakes, since the Mike trio isn’t even mentioned in the article list of Undertale/Deltarune characters. That, to me, concludes why there’s no reason for that redirect to exist. If that redirect exists, then the Mike trio redirect should exist too.
- Unless we get an insane plot twist, I can’t see SCC getting a redirect. For Jockington and Tasque Manager, they can be deleted. I don't think Jockington is barely notable enough to be included for a redirect, unless Jockington becomes massively relevant in Chapter 5 and is included in List of Undertale and Deltarune characters - Jockington may unlikely be subject to change, though who knows, since the game isn't finished yet.
- Keep Carol Holiday, as she has potential later on and Old Man too. KrispyBlueJays (talk) 07:02, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- Unsure if I can vote in my own thing, but whatever. From this discussion, I vote:
- Delete for Tasque Manager, Jockington, and Sweet Capn' Cakes as unmentioned.
- Keep Old Man (Deltarune) as a mention got added in the section it targets.
- Refine Carol Holiday to List of Undertale and Deltarune characters#Noelle Holiday (Per Lunamann's idea). That should be it. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 16:37, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

Mass nom for a mass creation of unhelpful, systematically anticipated errors. The WP:PANDORA is strong with this one, and these aren't helpful. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 23:12, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
- The WP:BACKINBOX is strong with THIS one. This mass nom is a WP:TRAINWRECK waiting to happen because these do, in fact, have disparate worth. In short:
- Keep the following as per WP:RTYPO: Star War: The Clone Wars, StarWars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars: The Clone War. All of these only have 1 character missing/changed, and thus meet the plausibility test implied by RTYPO.
- Keep the following not per WP:RTYPO: Star Wars - The Clone Wars. I don't see how implausible it would be to swap the colon for a dash.
- Delete the rest as per RTYPO as the multiple errors involved in each stretch plausibility.

- Not a trainwreck, and this is a prime example of why PANDORA is a good essay. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 00:37, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
- No, PANDORA has absolutely nothing useful or relevant to say about this (or any other) RfD nomination and should remain firmly uncited. We judge redirects based on their own merits (or lack thereof) not speculation about whether redirects that may or may not be similar to ones being discussed might be created for reasons that some people might think might have somehow been "inspired". Thryduulf (talk) 00:48, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
- This is a prime example of why PANDORA is a really bad essay section (the entire essay, which is mostly fine to cite, is WP:COSTLY.) As stated in WP:BACKINBOX (and as the author of the essay, yes, I am shamelessly quoting myself here):
In short, Pandora... doesn't serve to point out what's actually WRONG about the redirect -- which is the most important part, given it's what we're actually here to discuss...
- and
It fails the test of WP:IDONTLIKEIT... Taken at face value, the actual text of Pandora could be applied to any redirect at all whatsoever, seeming to support the deletion of anything under the sun...
- Your citing PANDORA here doesn't serve to elucidate at all why you think these redirects should be deleted-- and you using PANDORA as a reason to make the RFD in the first place has resulted in you scooping up redirects that are perfectly fine, mixing them in with redirects that aren't, and listing the entire batch as a trainwreck on the idea that we need to delete the perfectly-fine redirects to somehow prevent the not-fine redirects from being made.

- Comment I'm not seeing any arguments that are based on policies or guidelines here. I think the problem is that there is no consensus in the community as to what kinds of typos are "plausible" and when it is useful to keep them. These typo RfDs are a waste of everyone's time when the community could come together once and for all in an RfC and decide which typos (if any) are worth keeping as redirects. Then, I think the criteria for WP:R3 could be modified to drop the "recently created" requirement in favor of "no incoming links from mainspace" and change "implausible" to whatever the community decides shiuld be deleted. Personally, I think the solution that makes the most sense is just to delete all typos except plausible misspellings of names. I don't thonk we need rederects for one charecter ertors, missingspaces; "strange punctuation". and the like. For the purpose of linking, I think it is beneficial to have as few typo redirects as possible, because typos are more likely to go unnoticed in articles if they are valid blue links.

Far be it from me to repeat the same jokey meme reply twice, but you did not read mine.It may not be a policy or guideline, but my !vote and argument were based on prior consensus on typos that has been recorded on WP:RFDO, at WP:RTYPO. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 21:32, 25 January 2026 (UTC)- That explanatory essay might say there is consensus to keep, but that does not appear to be the case. The two most recent RfD examples cited at WP:RTYPO were closed as delete, so that section is actually misleading and probably needs to be updated (I will probably do so myself). My point is that there is no community-established guideline on what typos should be kept as redirects, and it would be helpful to have one. I2Overcome talk 00:17, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
- There certainly is community-established guidance. ... Therefore consider the deletion only of either harmful redirects or of recent ones. [...] You might want to delete a redirect if ... the redirect is a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name that is not mentioned in the target [...] However, avoid deleting such redirects if ... [s]omeone finds them useful. Hint: If someone says they find a redirect useful, they probably do. meta:Don't delete redirects says it best: "Redirects from spelling mistakes prove their usefulness with their own existence: at least one person has already made that mistake." Thus their deletion should be avoided, unless they are particularly harmful (or, in practice, if they are particularly useless, though even WP:COSTLY strongly suggests it is not a good use of community time to send such redirects to RfD). You cannot interpret the guideline in any other way. It reflects the longstanding consensus that misspelling redirects are helpful. That such RfDs sometimes end in delete is indicative of a coterie of editors who have not acquainted themselves with the guideline in question, and a minority who disagree with it.

Otherwise, it couldn’t hurt to have more clarity. I2Overcome talk 02:18, 26 January 2026 (UTC)- That sentence still around? I've never been brave enough to try it out. (It's very much overbroad.

- Anyway, there's an even stronger consensus that redirects should be evaluated on their individual merits, rather than in collective swathes of hundreds of thousands. I can't say it's sensible, but I don't see us moving away from this process anytime soon. You see these problems crop up in all other XfDs as well, if arguably not to the same extent. J947 ‡ edits 02:37, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
- Said consensus mainly comes from the issues borne from WP:TRAINWRECK (RFD being the XFD that probably grapples with TRAINWRECKs most often due to how small, simple, and numerous the pages we're here to discuss are) plus the WP:PANDORA/WP:BACKINBOX issue (and as the one who wrote BACKINBOX, you can probably guess what my stance is there.

- (I had a long tangent typed out on what Katamari consensus means, but I'll just link to where I mentioned it first instead: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Redirect#c-MEN_KISSING-20260124192700-Lunamann-20260124190600)
- The thing is, I don't think we can say that redirects from typos in general are an example of a Katamari consensus, because it's a Katamari that stopped rolling a long time ago. Redirects from typos are a conversation that dates waaay back. A quick little Wikipedia archaeology trip shows that having redirects from typos [11] is... apparently about as old as I am! And we've had the R3 speedy deletion criteria and the entry at WP:RFDO for about as long as those have existed, too.
- All that is to say, we don't need to worry about an improper consensus about typo redirects having been formed. And as long as we remind nominators about {{db-r3}} and WP:RTYPO, I don't think we have to worry about overwhemling RfD.
- That being said, there is a discussion to be had about more precisely what separates a plausible redirect from an implausible one. And, funnily enough, that's the premise of a different essay I'd like to write one day!
"Redirects from spelling mistakes prove their usefulness with their own existence: at least one person has already made that mistake."
is a sentiment that rings particularly true for me. I also disagree that the line is exactly "one character off", because obviously, something like Sasparilla -> Sarsaparilla will be a lot more plausible and a lot more necessary than something like Bqoat -> Boat.

"Welsh national team" and "Welsh team" both redirect to "Wales national football team". There are many other Welsh national teams, of course, but the football team receives the majority of page views. Would a disambiguation page make more sense here? Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 11:23, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
- Disambig per nom at Wales national team as that seems to be the more common where these exist. From some quick searching there is precedent at Scottish national team, United States national team, Canada national team, Lebanon national team, Lithuania national team, Brazil national team and others. However Australia national team redirects to Sport in Australia. I have found that English national team and England team exist as parallel disambigs as to Team Italy and Italy team.
I'm about to boldly retarget Scotland national team to the relevant disambiguation page and will do the same for others if I find an extant dab page. There are a several similar redirects for other countries (see collapsed box), I considered nominating them all here but decided against to to avoid a train wreck but if there is a clear consensus here then they can either be done boldly or nominated separately/as a group (note I've not looked to see if any are redirects from move or have been discussed previously). I will leave a note at the sports Wikiproject. Thryduulf (talk) 13:50, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
There are also some similar but not identical ones that I will nominate separately shortly. Thryduulf (talk) 13:50, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

This could refer to sports other than just soccer, the only other separate article I've found is List of results of the United States men's basketball team at the Olympics but articles about other national teams listed at United States national team often discuss results so that might be a better target? See also #Welsh national team below. Thryduulf (talk) 14:02, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Dominican National Team
[edit]- Dominican National Team → Dominican Republic national baseball team (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not only is this ambiguous between different sports (e.g. Dominican Republic national football team) but it is also ambiguous with teams representing Dominica (e.g. Dominica national football team). I'm not sure that a disambiguation leading only to two different disambiguation pages (c.f. #Welsh national team), that I don't think currently exist, is ideal, but is that better than search results? Also note this has history as an article, I think it was a duplicate of Dominican Republic national football team but I haven't looked in detail. Thryduulf (talk) 14:13, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
- Disambiguate, but make the entries Category:National sports teams of the Dominican Republic and Category:National sports teams of Dominica to make it straightforward. -- Tavix (talk) 14:17, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
- I'm tempted to go to a broad-concept article instead of a new disambiguation page. There's Dominica#Sports, where Sport in Dominica redirects, and Sport in the Dominican Republic. Given that "Dominican" is a reasonable way of describing either country, though, maybe it'll have to be disambiguation after all. --BDD (talk) 00:40, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

UAE national team all-time record
[edit]- UAE national team all-time record → United Arab Emirates national football team all-time record (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This is a {{R from move}} but it is ambiguous with teams representing the United Arab Emirates in other sports, although as far as I've found none of those have separate articles for their records. There also isn't at present a disambiguation page listing all the country's sports teams this could refer to. I'm bringing this here for discussion rather than recommending deletion, or any other specific action (see also #Welsh national team). Thryduulf (talk) 14:22, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Life in England

let's try this again... consarn (talck) (contirbuton s) 16:06, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
- wait, that actually worked? well, see below. how did massxfd not die here? consarn (talck) (contirbuton s) 16:08, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
- Okay, because Consarn didn't mention it himself: The original nomination for all of these was by user:~2025-31416-56, who claimed these were all unmentioned in the article.That said, re-procedural close as per WP:TRAINWRECK-- I'm certain several of these characters should be redirected to the individual games they appear in. For example, Utsuho Reiuzi needs to be redirected to Subterranean Animism. As there is about five hundred of these, going through each of them and figuring out which games, if any, they need to be taken to would be a gargantuan task that would get confusing fast. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 02:42, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
- (Yes, the Subterranean Animism article spells it 'Reiuji' instead of 'Reiuzi'. It's the same character and the same name. This is a Japanese series and a Japanese game at discussion, 'zi' and 'ji' are both romanizations of the same Japanese syllable.) 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 02:47, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
- Delete all. As someone a bit familiar with this series, no WP:TRAINWRECK here. If any of these are not mentioned at the current target, that is a problem for a few reasons. For one, all of the characters can be considered to encompass all media related to the topic. For two, for the most part, any media based on the target subject tends to be developed or created by various/random third party sources, meaning multiple unrelated video game developers will use these intellectual properties to creates unrelated games and none of them are considered canon. Deletion of all is probably the best way to fix the issue ... which seems to be that the subjects are not mentioned at the target. Steel1943 (talk) 18:02, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
- comment: as a continuation of the name thing, the kunrei-shiki isn't the issue with eiki's name, it's gluing her name together and missing the comma, implying that "s(h)ikieiki" is her given name and "yamaxanadu" is the surname, when it would actually be "eiki shiki, yamaxanadu" (given name, surname, job), with the good ol' japanese name order making it "shiki eiki, yamaxanadu" (四季映姫・ヤマザナドゥ). even among the few touhou fans one could reasonably refer to as "tourists", it's known that this is a mistake, so it being a redirect here doesn't make much sense. this means i actually meant "implausible romanization of an implausible mistake", whoops consarn (talck) (contirbuton s) 19:58, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
- I have checked all the redirects, and of them Eirin Yagokoro is in fact mentioned in the target. Keep that one (or at least renominate to be considered separately). No opinion on whether deletion or a procedural close and renominate in smaller batches is best, though the current target is clearly not correct for them. Rusalkii (talk) 22:33, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

- Re-procedural close per WP:TRAINWRECK. There's just wayyyyy too many to work with here. If massxfd didn't die when nominating these, it will certainly pichūn when these are all closed. I agree with Lunamann that these should probably be redirected to the games which they are in. For what it's worth, every character that debuted in Perfect Cherry Blossom is not only mentioned in that article, but also has their name bolded. SuperPianoMan9167 (talk) 01:29, 30 January 2026 (UTC)
- The non-character redirects are simpler: just retarget Eientei to Imperishable Night#Plot (because it is mentioned there) and delete Hourai Elixir unless someone can come up with a good target. SuperPianoMan9167 (talk) 16:58, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

Grippy Socks
[edit]- Grippy sock jail → Sock#Non-slip socks (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Grippy sock hotel → Sock#Non-slip socks (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Grippy sock vacation → Psychiatric hospital (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
These redirects from euphemisms for 'psychatric hospital' should really match. The first one was the subject of a 2023 RfD which was kept, but it and the second one then had their target changed based on discussion that happened on the RfD notice post (rather than the RfD itself) in psychiatric hospital's talk page, citing how non-psychiatric hospitals and nursing homes also issue non-slip socks to patients (although I've never heard of the term being used to refer to non-psychatric hospitals or nursing homes). The third was missed at that time.
For the record, as the nom I'd think that psychiatric hospital would be the better target; as I just stated I've never heard of the other two proposed targets being referred to with any of these non-slip-sock-related euphemisms, and the stopgap solution of retargeting to a section about the non-slip socks themselves, while informative, can be a little WP:SURPRISE-ing. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 00:21, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: Looking further into this, apparently this was the victim of a merge. The talk-page "RfD" had decided on Hospital socks#Social media as the target, which indeed had directly discussed the terms 'Grippy sock jail/hotel/vacation/palace'... until it was merged with Sock in June of last year.

- Retarget all to Psychiatry#Inpatient_treatment or similar. Common slang term.–DMartin (talk) 06:47, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
- Retarget all to Sock#Non-slip socks i.e. change just Grippy sock vacation 's target. The target of Sock#Non-slip socks is already rich in discussion of the use of grippy socks in psychiatric facilities, explain the 'grippy sock hotel' etc. phraseology well, and contains links to psychiatric hospital, etc. To be clear, I can get that the 'jail' and the 'hotel' all refer to the hospital, not the sock. And 'vacation' refers to the in-patient treatment, not the sock. But redirecting directly to those psychiatric pages would be surprising - if I were searching for 'grippy sock vacation', I would like that euphemism to be explained. IMHO it much more likely that people will be wanting clarification and understanding of the 'grippy sock vacation' term, than to be actually wanting to find general information about a psychiatric hospital or treatment. The Sock#Non-slip socks section serves that purpose reasonably, and should therefore be the preferred target for these redirects. Chumpih t 08:35, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
- Retarget all to Sock#Other uses of the word and slang where all three terms are used and defined. It is true that psychiatric hospitalization is what these terms refer to. But the terms are not used at all in that article. Consensus has been that these terms do not warrant inclusion in the article. As relatively obscure neologisms, these terms are way too non-notable to be covered in the main article on psych hospitals. Editors agree that including these would suggest more prominent terms should also be covered, a list of informal terms and euphemisms should not be included in the article. Unlike loony bin and similar terms, which may or may not be suitable redirects without mention (see current RfD discussion), these grippy sock terms do require some explanation. That explanation exists and is best expanded upon (if necessary) at Sock#Other uses of the word and slang. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 22:28, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
- Ok with this. Or how about a 'colloquialisms' paragraph under non-slip? Chumpih t 13:54, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
- These redirects should point wherever the terms are explained. That should not be the Psychiatric hospital article but somewhere in Sock is fine. I see no reason to duplicate the information within Sock but if someone wants to consolidate this all under #Non-slip, that’s fine. Alternatively, internal links between the sections could be inserted in the article to help readers find the existing coverage within the article. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 17:00, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
- So it sounds like retargeting to Sock#Non-slip and also links within the page to avoid duplication would be satisfactory. Chumpih t 20:02, 18 January 2026 (UTC)
No. To clarify, I'm sticking with Sock#Other uses of the word and slang since this is the only place where the specific use of vacation, hotel, or jail are used. This is the best and really they only place that discusses the specific redirect terms. I have updated Sock#Other uses of the word and slang to include an internal link to Sock#Non-slip socks for completeness. I would support another section if and only if these specific terms are used and defined within that section. If a reader searches or clicks a link to grippy sock vacation or one of these other terms, sending them to a generic description of non-slip socks that then links to another section where these terms are actually described wastes readers' time and is a disservice. If, at some point, the content is reorganized then these can be retargeted to wherever the terms are described. I can't think of any reason why we would send readers somewhere other than the specific place where the specific terms are described. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 21:52, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

However, I then read the proposed target more thoroughly, and the target says that the target section's subject is "not to be confused with" the subject of this redirect, meaning it may not be an appropriate target, even though the redirect is mentioned there.

- Weak retarget to Master of Advanced Studies#France and francophone countries per Tavix. I've added a link to MPhil at the target to provide a little more context. I understand the bait and switch concern since the proposed target explicitly describes a different degree, but by also describing the distinction, this provides some useful information to readers. In this case, I find the description more useful than search results which mostly just show articles that mention someone having this degree. Sometimes the best place to describe a topic is in an article or section where it is contrasted with the main subject and that may be the case here. If there's another article or section that could describe this better, (future) retargeting may be appropriate. What's nice about this target is that it at least attempts to cover global francophone usage rather than just being a section on France, which has been a problem with finding a single appropriate target for similar redirects in the past.—Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 18:15, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

LRBM
[edit]- LRBM → Intermediate-range ballistic missile (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I did not find the string "LRBM" in the article text nor an explanation of its meaning at the redirect target "Intermediate-range ballistic missile". -> Rational 8 per WP:R#DELETE. Grand-Duc (talk) 02:21, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
- Long-range ballistic missile redirects to Intermediate-range ballistic missile, I'm guessing LRBM is an R from Avoided Double Redirect to Long-range ballistic missile. My question tho is why LRBM is this rathr than Intercontinental ballistic missile. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 02:46, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
- Delete -- LRBM is not a term in common usage with regards to ballistic missiles, which are categorized by widely recognized range bands of "Intercontinental-range", "Intermediate-range", "Medium-range", and "Short-range", with a few specialized categories aside. These terms are used because they equate to internationally defined range brackets in arms control treaties. Long Range Ballistic Missile, and LRBM in particular as an acronym thereof, do not have any such basis and are not used in the military or arms control communities. Incidental usages, i.e. "long range" as an independent modifier from the term "ballistic missile", rather than being meant as a specific categorization, are not referring to the same concept and would not merit inclusion here.⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 04:50, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
- However, Soviet MRBMs, IRBMs, and LRBMs are mentioned in the BGM-109G Gryphon article. Also, if LRBM is not applicable for missiles, then shouldn't it retarget Maramureș Airport which is hatnoted from the current target? Jay 💬 13:31, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
- IIRC, the BGM-109G Gryphon article is where I actually noticed the redirect and what prodded me into opening this DR. It's actually currently the single real link from the main namespace, so I'll proceed to remove it. Your find of the use of LRBM as ICAO short is more than enough reason for me to change the redirect target. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 13:42, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

Comment: Village (Georgia) redirects to Village (United States) without a mention of Georgia. I do believe that this redirect should be discussed as well. (It may or may not be bundled.) However, I don't have a definite decision on the discussed redirect since every existing "Type of place (U.S. state or country)" redirect seems to go to a different type of article. Mathguy2718 (talk) 03:15, 23 January 2026 (UTC)- Keep: the current target is exactly what anyone clicking on this link (which is used in about 10 articles and could probably be used in many more) would want and expect to see - an explanation of the meaning of 'city' in the US state of Georgia. There are similar redirects for most other US states, because they often have their own definitions of terms such as 'city', 'town', 'village' etc. If the state doesn't have its own definition, these redirects go to the corresponding article for the US as a whole (as noted above). This is helpful to readers, and not in any way a problem. It doesn't need to be changed or removed. If we really think that there might be confusion with the country of Georgia, disambiguation could be added, but absent strong evidence to the contrary I don't see that as necessary.

The waterfowl meaning is one one of several meanings of the word:
3. (intransitive, of waterfowl) To feed without diving, by submerging the head and neck underwater to seek food, often also tipping up the tail straight upwards above the water. - Dabbling ducks is too specific a target, as these are just one of many species of waterfowl who dabble.

While the query is about people who are both cisgender and lesbian, gay, or bisexual, it doesn't imply a broader trans-exclusionary view (one could equally search for trans LGB without a similar implication), so I don't think LGBTQ (term)#Drop the T is a good target.--Trystan (talk) 18:13, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
Delete.My first assumption was that this was related to the 'LGB without the T' or 'drop the T' movement. (The section LGBTQ people#Drop the T, suggested by Lunamann, does not currently exist.) A quick Google shows that this is sometimes used in association with 'drop the T' but is also used more generically to refer to cisgender lesbian, gay, and bisexual people outside the context of this anti-trans movement. It is a real term people use but it is explicitly not synonymous with LGBTQ or any version of the acronym that includes T or any gender signifier other than cis. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 02:18, 6 January 2026 (UTC) Updated !vote after latest relist. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 01:39, 31 January 2026 (UTC)- ...Whoops, that was the wrong page.

Waterie
[edit]Not mentioned at target. Only mention on Wikipedia is at Wateree people. Merriam-Webster does define it as an alternative name for the wagtail, especially the pied wagtail.
Wiktionary defines it only as an archaic form of watery (which just redirects to water). The bird does appear to be the primary use, if a sourced mention can be added- probably at white wagtail with the redirect being retargeted there. Mdewman6 (talk) 18:45, 24 December 2025 (UTC)
- Aww, that's a cute bird! I looked up "waterie" on both Google and Marginala, no results for any birds of any sort. Mostly just dictionaries that either agree with it being an archaic form of "watery" or citing Webster. I figured there'd at least be some birdwatcher forum that calls them wateries, so I think Webster might just be wrong? Delete since I think targeting to water is a stretch.

Only one of these three has Ivo as a last name, which is what would get paired with "Doctor", except in special cases, which don't seem to apply here. The only catch is that one is named "Professor" instead of "Doctor", but that's probably a more plausible error than "Doctor Firstname".

- Delete per WP:FORRED. Fauconnier's book is hardly the only French-language book titled "Malaisie" and redirecting to his bio is unlikely to be helpful. The only current incoming link from mainspace (from François Goetghebeur#Corporate) is clearly intended to target Malaysia (and is on the same line as links to Indonésie and Thailande redirects, both of which should probably also be deleted). I note that Indonésie (and Indonesie without the accent) is nominated above, and I've just nominated Thaïlande (and Thailande without the dieresis).Rosbif73 (talk) 13:41, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

It looks to me like these are meant to refer to 'corprorate' films (whatever that means) titled Malaisie, Indonésie, Vietnam, and Thaïlande, respectively, in which case the links should not target the countries. Since these films do not have articles, wikilinks should be removed or, if there is a thought that they might be notable, piped redlinks to a disambiguated title like Malaisie (film) might be appropriate. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 19:04, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

This follows on from a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects#Redirect request: Khachadurian, Խաչատուրյան. Since both of us agree the redirects should exist in some form but disagree on the target I though we might bring it here rather than trying to figure out where WP:AFC/R appeals go.
To briefly summarize my position, as a result of Talk:Khachaturian (surname)#Requested move 18 March 2025, the index was moved to a title with disambiguator and Khachaturian was targeted to Aram Khachaturian as the WP:PTOPIC. My assessment is that all four variant transliterations of Խաչատուրյան, and the original Armenian string itself should point at the same target to reduce potential confusion, and that target should most probably be Aram Khachaturian based off of the RM. However, User:Timtrent did not reach the same conclusion and will hopefully be along soon to offer a different perspective. Hoping to gain some additional insight from more people as to the best target here. ~2026-39780-5 (talk) 18:16, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
Comment: As the AFC reviewer who reviewed the request linked to above (note that it will soon be archived, thus Old revision of Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects will help us) I was aware and content that this discussion would follow. It is not a discssion to delete the redirects, but is one to determine the correct target. To be clear I oppose deletion of any or all of these.
Agree and Support that all the redirects should have the same target. Anythng else would be ridicuous. They are redirects from the surname.
Disagree and Oppose that the surname redirects should link to the composer, since he is simply a well known gentleman of that surname. While the concept of not setting a precedent on Wikipedia is well understood, it is custom and practice to use the surname to disambiguate between even well known people.- Support that all these surname redirects link to the surname disambniguation page - Khachaturian (surname). That is what I would expect as a reader. Further, as a reader of Wikipedia, I would be very pleased when entering any of these into the search box and arriving at the surname disambiguation page, to see all the other people with that surname, and would enjoy disappearing down the rabbit hole of finding out more about them.
- When accepting those I accepted I was in cordial discussion with the requestor / nominator. I also asked for eyes on this from other AFC reviewers at WT:AFC, hoping for advice, but none was forthcoming, thus I declared what I believed to be the correct outcome, and made it so after a pause to allow advice. I have no particular horse in this race except that I believe consensus needs to be formed. We can all work with consensus, never with uncertanity, nor inconsistency. 🇵🇸🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦🇵🇸 18:48, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
- Reorganize redirects per Timtrent. thetechie@enwiki:~$ she/they | talk 20:37, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
- If Khachaturian targets Khachaturian (surname) then it is WP:MALPLACED. Khachaturian (surname) would need to be moved to Khachaturian in that instance which would require not an RfD but an requested move overturning last year's RM. But I agree with Extraordinary Writ's comment in said RM: the composer is the primary topic for the search term "Khachaturian". Therefore Khachaturian should target Aram Khachaturian – keep.That's not the be-all and end-all of this situation, however. There's no need to aim for consistency here. The reader is not going to be confused when different search terms target different places since they're only going to search up one of those search terms. Editors might, but readers first. Vahagn Khachaturyan is Armenia's current president. It is silly to suggest that an alternative transliteration of the composer's name is the primary topic over the normal transliteration of the politician's name. So I suggest to retarget Khachaturyan to Khachaturian (surname).As for the other three redirects, my opinions are less strong but I recommend to keep Խաչատուրյան (the composer's probably not the primary topic for the Armenian name as opposed to the specific transliteration) and retarget Khachatourian to Khachaturian (surname) (given Leon Khachatourian). There is no one named Khachadurian on the surname page, so I am ambivalent about either target or deletion. J947 ‡ edits 02:17, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
- Keep Khachaturian → Aram Khachaturian. That is the common spelling of the composer's name in English, and the composer is the primary topic for that spelling. I don't think the other versions all need to target the composer, though; J947's argument is very compelling. I'm not knowledgeable about Armenian romanization, but it wouldn't surprise me to learn that each variant has different usage and a different/no primary topic. So, I'm undecided on the rest.

Seattle-Tacoma
[edit]- Seattle-Tacoma → Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
"Seattle-Tacoma" is a common term for the Seattle–Tacoma metropolitan area. It doesn't always refer to the airport. More broadly, the term can also refer to the Seattle–Tacoma combined statistical area, a census-designated place approximately corresponding to the larger Puget Sound region. The airport isn't really known as "Seattle-Tacoma"; it is often called "SeaTac" or "Sea–Tac" or even "Seattle", but it isn't really called "Seattle-Tacoma" very much. I suggest disambiguating the term; there is a dab page at SeaTac (disambiguation) that already lists these topics. — BarrelProof (talk) 13:43, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
- Keep As someone who isn't at all local, my gut feeling is that the airport is going to be the primary topic and that is what the results when googling "Seattle-Tacoma" -Wikipedia show - 100% of the results on the first four pages are for the airport, and the same is true for "Sea-Tac" -Wikipedia. "SeaTac" -Wikipedia has no primary between the airport and SeaTac, Washington. Thryduulf (talk) 14:04, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
- Web search results are heavily influenced by commercial interests. SEO and search engines are designed to promote (and collect commissions for) plane tickets and hotel rooms and restaurants and tourist attractions. Dallas–Fort Worth is an analogous example. That is the name of a twin city area, like Seattle-Tacoma. The name of an area is also often used as a nickname for its airport, but it's really the name of the area, not just its airport. — BarrelProof (talk) 14:16, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: I have also opened a closely related RM at Talk:SeaTac (disambiguation)#Requested move 23 January 2026. — BarrelProof (talk) 14:08, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
- Retarget to Seattle metropolitan area. As I mentioned at the RM discussion, "Seattle-Tacoma" and "SeaTac" are two different phrases. I concur that the airport isn't referred to as "Seattle–Tacoma" very frequently. But I think that the metro area is probably the primary topic here, and the CSA is discussed at the article for the metro area so no need for a DAB IMO. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 16:06, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

Verdis
[edit]- Verdis → Croatia–Serbia border dispute (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This redirect should be deleted to allow the creation of a standalone article. The target article Croatia–Serbia border dispute only mentions "Verdis" in passing, while a fully sourced, comprehensive draft article exists at Draft:Verdis. The redirect is misleading and prevents coverage of a notable distinct topic. TeddyFazzber (talk) 17:18, 30 January 2026 (UTC)
- Please note that "Verdis" is a notable topic deserving its own article, and the draft includes substantial coverage from highly authoritative sources such as BBC, CNN, Firstpost, among others TeddyFazzber (talk) 17:22, 30 January 2026 (UTC)
- @TeddyFazzber you might want to use twinkle for rfd noms, to avoid issues with indenting. also, regardless of the draft's current state (too many primary/non-journalistic sources tbh), where's the bbc source? consarn (talck) (contirbuton s) 17:39, 30 January 2026 (UTC)
- Also note that the RfD tag goes on the redirect page itself, not on the target article. If you can't place it there due to protection then don't place it somewhere else, just mention it in your nomination and someone who can edit the redirect will tag it for you. I'll fix this one. Thryduulf (talk) 18:00, 30 January 2026 (UTC)
- Keep at least for now. There is a lot of history here - articles about this subject have previously been deleted three times: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Free Republic of Verdis (2019), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Verdis (2020) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Verdis (2nd nomination) (2022). Between the second and third AfDs Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 August 25#Princedom of Ongal concluded that Verdis (micronation) and Free Republic of Verdis were appropriate redirects and that Verdis probably was too (quoting myself:
It isn't quite unambiguous but based on 2 minutes looking it seems to be the best target, others may take a different view
. No views to the contrary were expressed). At the third AfD it was noted that the salting of Verdis was lowered specifically to permit the creation of a redirect, but that got overwritten by an article after three days. That AfD closed with a consensus to redirect and it was fully protected to prevent recreation. RfD is not the right venue to determine whether the draft article should replace the redirect (that's either WP:AFC or WP:DRV, I can't remember which ottomh). Thryduulf (talk) 18:00, 30 January 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you for the detailed historical context and for correcting the procedural issues, @Thryduulf and @Consarn. I appreciate the guidance.
-
- Regarding past deletions (AfDs): I have reviewed the past deletion discussions. The new draft at Draft:Verdis is not a recreation of the previously deleted articles. It is built on a foundation of recent, substantial, and independent journalistic coverage (primarily CNN and The Guardian) that was not central or may not have been available during the previous AfDs. This new evidence directly addresses the core notability concerns that led to those deletions.
- Regarding sourcing: Thank you for the catch, @Consarn. I misspoke regarding the BBC. The primary, high-quality journalistic coverage comes from CNN[1], The Guardian[2] and The Sydney Morning Herald[3]. The draft has been cleaned to rely on these authoritative secondary sources and removes promotional/primary material.
- The core argument for RfD: The purpose of this RfD is not to judge the draft's readiness for mainspace (that is for AFC), but to decide if the current redirect is useful or harmful. The redirect "Verdis → Croatia–Serbia border dispute" is actively misleading. It implies the topic is synonymous with the border dispute, while reliable sources now treat "Verdis" as a distinct entity with its own narrative, goals, and media coverage. Keeping this redirect obfuscates information and directly prevents readers from finding the dedicated draft article where the topic is appropriately covered.
- Proposed path forward: I propose a consensus to delete this redirect. Following that, I will immediately submit the improved Draft:Verdis for review via the Articles for Creation (AFC) process, where it can be judged solely on its own merits based on the current sourcing. This is the standard procedure for replacing an inadequate redirect with a proper article.
- In summary, the situation has materially changed since 2022 with new, significant media coverage. The redirect now causes confusion and blocks access to a more appropriate treatment of the subject. TeddyFazzber (talk) 18:47, 30 January 2026 (UTC)
- as a heads-up, "primary" has a different meaning in this context: it refers to sources directly related to the subject of an article, or that flat-out are from the subject. read wp:primary for more info on that, but the nitty-gritty is that you don't want an article that relies too much on its subject's own word consarn (talck) (contirbuton s) 20:00, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

- while this nom is suspicious, from a suspishusly new account with a sussy streak of some (but admittedly not enough) knowledge of wikipedia's internal workings, on a subspeciously sock-filled topic, related to a draft suspisyphusly passed on by a handful of suspensefully single-purpose accounts, i'm not actually entirely sure it's ai. it could definitely be ai-assisted, but it's definitely missing a lot of the tells, like having a suspiciously human-like level of awareness of events that have happened more than a sentence ago consarn (talck) (contirbuton s) 22:54, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

References
- As mentioned above, I think this is the wrong place for discussing this, as the issue here is the promotion of the draft article. This looks okay to me at a quick glance, and there's a new article about Verdis on ABC News (Australia) today, so I'll have a look at the draft later with a view to promotion, if someone else doesn't get there before me.

Accession of Queen Victoria's
[edit]- Accession of Queen Victoria's → Coronation of Queen Victoria (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Yes the discussion of possessive redirects is still ongoing, but unlike almost all the ones nominated previously this one actually is useless. The target article is about Queen Victoria's accession, not the accession of anything belonging to her, nor is it a mistaken plural as only one Queen Victoria acceded to the throne. The only way these words make sense is in phrases like "accession of Queen Victoria's son", "accession of Queen Victoria's grandson", etc. However (a) those phrases do not appear in any articles - indeed this redirect is the only occurrence of "accession of Queen Victoria's" anywhere in any namespace on en.wp (although this RfD will generate some new ones of course), (b) the targets would be Coronation of Edward VII and Alexandra, Coronation of George V and Mary, and so on down the generations, and (c) as a search term it's thus ambiguous between multiple articles, none of which are the current target. There are no incoming links, the creator's contemporary edits don't suggest they added one at the time. Thryduulf (talk) 17:30, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

Disco funk
[edit]Genre re-directs to disco where there is no discussion of the genre. No indication whether it should link to funk or disco. On looking, I can't find any information regarding it being its own unique genre and there's no discussion about it.

- Delete per nom. Fails WP:XY - Disco and Funk are two distinct genres of 1970's music, if Google is to be trusted. Tevildo (talk) 00:09, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- Keep. Disco has its roots in funk. In this case, it usually refers to disco where these roots are more emphasized, the tempo is slower, the funky bass is stronger, but typically it is still considered disco, since these influences are visible to varying degrees in almost any American disco. The term can also be found in sources [20]. [21] and widely used elsewhere (brief mentions, mixes or compilation names like [22]). It is unlikely that a separate article will appear on this subject. Solidest (talk) 11:46, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- Delete ironically as per User:Solidest's arguments plus WP:RETURNTORED. That's some MIGHTY fine information you have there, Solidest-- presumably, someone searching for Disco funk wants to learn about that. Unfortunately, that information isn't in the article. We shouldn't redirect unmentioned things to articles that don't have information on them based on information that COULD be in the article but ISN'T. If you really think that might be information someone's looking for, and that this article should be where the information lives, the correct idea is to add it to the article.

[edit]Crémeux
[edit]This should be deleted. Crémeux is French for 'creamy'. This is not a WP:FORRED nomination. The problem is that lots of things can be described as 'creamy', including a great many food terms that come from France or have been influenced by French: cream and other entries at Crème, crème fraîche, ganache, and many more. Custard is not a direct translation and anyone searching en-wiki for the meaning will be misled by this redirect. There is no primary topic for this French adjective on en-wiki. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 07:18, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
- (As creator) According to sources, the term crémeux is also used for a specific preparation made of crème anglaise and either gelatin or chocolate[23][24][25][26] - in other words, a form of custard. François Robere (talk) 08:18, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
- delete per... creator!? as both a french word and an english loanword, it's only one of the possible meanings. judging by results, readers could be expecting any kind of creamy food, regardless of whether or not it actually is cream or custard. a lot of the aforementioned results were also written in some indecipherable glyphs, but that at most implies wp-pt would have more use for this consarn (talck) (contirbuton s) 11:29, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: Before someone votes to make a DAB page with all creamy foods related to French cuisine I'll just say... don't do that. — Anonymous 12:30, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
- Soft redirect to Wiktionary. This has been getting a lot of traffic (over 300 hits last year), probably due to the incoming links:
- List of desserts#Dessert sauces lists it (along with Crème anglaise (an article) and Crème pâtissière (also a redirect to custard but mentioned in the lead) as being types of custard. As "Crémeux" is not mentioned at the target this is clearly not helpful.
- MasterChef Australia series 15 has two instances of the term:
- In the "28/06-4" table row there is the sentence
The dessert prepared by Ralph and Rue, a goat's cheese crémeux, beetroot consommé and poached pear was declared perfect by the judges.
That sounds not at all like custard (and also disgusting). Googling goat's cheese crémeux the results suggest that cream cheese would be a more useful target (but as I'm allergic to cheese I could be wrong about that). - In the "50/11-1" table row there is the sentence
...which consisted of a cake containing a double chocolate chip cookie base, coffee hazelnut financier, vanilla bean coffee caramel, coffee cremeux, and a chocolate mousse, in addition to a sugar dome.
(containing no links). Googling coffee crémux that looks closer to a mousse than it does to custard (it also looks misleadingly like chocolate, which. as someone who likes chocolate mousse but doesn't like coffee, should not be allowed).
- In the "28/06-4" table row there is the sentence
- Top Chef: Wisconsin has, in the table row "310",
Maple Crémeux, Blueberry, Pistachio & Caramel
. Google results for that term give what appears to be cream custard (also not a particularly helpful redirect to custard) with maple flavouring. This looks very tasty and is arguably going to the right target but in the absence of the term it's not that helpful. - Top Chef: Destination Canada (table row "328") has
Corn Crémeux with Corn Ice Cream, Grilled Blueberry Condiment & Blueberry Crisp (Massimo)
. Google results for "Corn crémeux" were not particularly helpful, but what is "corn crémeux" eventually resulted in my understanding that it's just a creamy custard-like sauce made with corn in various forms.
- Overall it's clear to me that there is not one single thing being referred to here, and wikt:crémeux (
(cooking) A smooth creamy sauce, custard, or pastry cream.
) just reinforces that custard is just one of the things that it could be. It seems unlikely that there is scope for an encyclopaedia article about it, so in the absence of a glossary of cooking or similar (that I've found) I think a soft redirect to Wiktionary is the best we can do. Thryduulf (talk) 15:39, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:FORRED per the current setup, delete per WP:REDLINK per creator's comment. Steel1943 (talk) 07:13, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
- Nominator comment: I still favor deletion. I was unaware that there is a somewhat prominent use of this word in English for a specific type of sauce or custard. (I'm not sure whether that is the context in which most English speakers encounter the word.) I don't see that the incoming links and pageviews justify a Wiktionary redirect per the guidance at WP:SOFTSP. The links in article space violate MOS:NOFORCELINK. These may be justified since cramming definitions or explanations of every dish into lists and episode summaries is probably unworkable. Still, I don't find the traffic or usage in articles overwhelming here. Given that these links appear in a handful of related articles, I suspect a single editor or small group of editors working in the Top Chef space are using these and I don't see any evidence of repeated re-creation of this redirect. Assuming these links are driving the traffic, they are being used inappropriately and the result doesn't actually help readers. Additionally, Wiktionary redirects are generally reserved for terms that
can never be expanded beyond a simple dictionary definition
and I'm not sure whether that is the case here. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 19:11, 28 January 2026 (UTC)

Dr. G
[edit]Dr. G could also refer to Doctor G, which gets about triple the page views. In addition, I'm sure some of the pages from the prefix index at Dr. G and Doctor G use the abbreviation. Not sure if Dr. G should be retargetted to Doctor G or disambiguated, but I don't prefer the current target. Mathguy2718 (talk) 00:37, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
- Weak keep the primary topic in my google results is for a brand of "dermacosmetic" skincare creams and related products that we don't have any content about (that I've found). Neither the reality TV series (current target) or film (Doctor G) appear in the first three pages of my search results, the TV series gets one hit on page 4, but that's it to the end of page 6. However, when searching for "Dr. G." -Wikipedia -skincare -moisturiser -cream almost all the results on the first three pages are for either the current target or for a soundcloud/youtube artist who doesn't seem at first glance to be notable. I would suggest adding a hatnote from Doctor G to the TV series though (one already exists for the opposite direction). Thryduulf (talk) 14:37, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

It also allows for an entry for Two Mafiosi Against Goldginger and even the brief mention of the skincare company at L'Oréal#Recent history and acquisitions.

The Governor and Company … of fishing
[edit]- The Governor and Company of the merchants of Great Britain, trading to the South Seas and other parts of America, and for the encouragement of fishing → South Sea Company (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
misnomer that is not only not mentioned in the target as of current, but also seldom mentioned outside of mirrors. while redirects are (usually) cheap, the title being almost triple the length of the content (at least before nominating, which made the page size over 10x what it was before nominating) makes it seem a slight exception. Oreocooke (talk) 21:33, 22 January 2026 (UTC) ; small update: this conversation isn't going anywhere so for now both of them are fine until that is no longer the case. Oreocooke (talk) 21:34, 28 January 2026 (UTC)

- can you explain when/how it was? Oreocooke (talk) 22:35, 24 January 2026 (UTC)
- When I google the exact phrase in quotes, including "of fishing" I find no shortage of results claiming that this was the official name of the company. Examples include [27], [28], [29], [30], [31]. So Either it actually was the official name of the company or it is a very common mistake. In either case this redirect is a good search term and so should be kept. Thryduulf (talk) 11:54, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
- can you explain when/how it was? Oreocooke (talk) 22:35, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

- Weak keep - I quickly found one reasonable-looking secondary source - chapter three in this book from 2004 - that refers to the name as "...of fishing", and Thryduulf has found other sources that use this term. Looking at primary sources - for example, this one, or by inspecting the text close to the search term "South Seas" in this collection of acts of Parliament - they have "...of the Fishery", as do other secondary sources, so I'd deduce that it is a misnomer. The use in one (presumably otherwise reliable!) secondary source may be sufficient to qualify under
Alternative forms of a name as found in reliable sources and common databases
or, given the additional online usage, underLikely misspellings
per WP:RPURPOSE. Hence a weak keep. Cheers, SunloungerFrog (talk) 13:49, 27 January 2026 (UTC)- yeah this is the rationale for why both of them are fine actually Oreocooke (talk) 06:07, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

Collection of verse
[edit]you can finish your words, i believe in you!
...also vague with different definitions of "collection" related to different definitions of "verse", and maybe with some unnotable books if you're in the mood, but the grammar part is my bigger concern her consarn (talck) (contirbuton s) 13:04, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
- What's the grammar part? "Collection of verse" seems perfectly acceptable to me, using "verse" in its sense as an uncountable noun meaning "poetry". Cremastra (talk · contribs) 15:08, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
- ask results, they were really confused about the definitions, thinking i wanted to see compilations of "verses" (fights), albums by musicians known as verse (or it's a band, i can't tell), poorly edited stock sky pictures with bible verses slapped on them in low-contrast colors (yellow on white, yuck), haiku (i mean, i guess that counts?), and michael rosen youtube poops (no idea why). results related to non-haiku poetry were rare, and even then, it thought i wanted to see collections of verses. that's a sort of roundabout way of saying that this doesn't seem to be a case in which the uncountable form is plausible for... uh... some reason, probably
- as an aside, if not deleted over this concern, the list of poetry collections exists and seems to be a better target, even if i think definitions of "collection" would still vary (ironically per the current target) consarn (talck) (contirbuton s) 15:47, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
- Delete. It's fine grammatically -- "verse" can be a mass noun to mean "poetry" generally, but "collection of verse" would seem to refer more to...well, a particular collection of poems than the overall form. It's unclear what anyone using this would be referring to, or why anyone would search for it in the first place. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 17:54, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
- Delete. I agree with others that verse can mean poetry and that the grammar is fine here. But the exact intended meaning of this phrase is unclear. My external search results almost all refer to poetry in some way, usually to specific works whose title is or contains Collection of Verse or generic use to refer to poetry collections. That might suggest List of poetry collections as a target but this is also a somewhat unusual, if attested, way to refer to that subject. This redirect has just 23 views since January 2025—and zero since October 3—which is consistent with this being an uncommon search term. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 19:15, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

On the other hand, no one refers to people as "John Smith, basket weaver". This is a disambiguator to get the Wikipedia article about the basket weaver instead of all the other countless John Smiths.

That said, WP:RDAB doesn't seem to be referring to alternate disambiguation formatting; it is referring instead to typographical errors in the disambiguation. This disambiguation is perfectly fine, in that someone who wrote this into the search box wouldn't be making an error at all, save for unfamiliarity with Wikipedia's actual disambiguation schema. Even if it were a typographical error, given we have the R from Incorrect Dab tag template, I'd say that WP:RTYPO takes precedent over WP:RDAB-- as long as there's only one error in the entire title, it should be fine to keep.

Unless I am misunderstanding something, keeping this could open up a WP:PANDORA box of creating an unlimited number of similar redirects, such as John Adams, cartographer and Paul Williams, songwriter.

John Adams,or even plainJohn Adamsinto the search bar while looking for a specific John Adams, a drop-down list with a bunch of disambiguated choices immediately appears, seemingly negating the purpose of every redirect of this type. Is this a fair argument to make, or am I assuming too much about the availability or functionality of the drop-down on people's devices (just as an aside, I found that it tookMichael Jackson, randMichael Jackson (to see Michael Jackson (radio commentator) in the results, but even after typing full-onMichael Jackson, talk show hostI still had to click on the "Search for pages" box, which put the result I wanted at the top of the results). Also, when are we going to sanction the creation of redirects like John McCarthy the computer scientist, since this is a plausible search term also? StonyBrook babble 01:09, 21 January 2026 (UTC)am I assuming too much about the availability or functionality of the drop-down on people's devices
Yes. Because redirects don't just help those using our actual search bar-- they help those editing articles, as well as those linking from off-site, search engines, and those who "search" by typing "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/search query" into the address bar. And yes, people DO do that, including editors in this very forum. None of which (save for article editing) have the benefit of the dropdown; and even then I'm pretty sure there's people who edit Wikipedia with the autocomplete disabled (including those who may, for example, type up whatever their edit is in an external program and then copy-paste it into Wikipedia). 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 01:42, 21 January 2026 (UTC)- Also also, I'm fairly certain, if you use certain browsers that have a feature that allow you to search through search engines from the address bar, and you use that functionality to search Wikipedia, it's basically just doing the "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/search query" thing.

There is absolutely nothing stopping such a redirect from being created, there is also nothing stopping us from keeping it at RfD because it's a valid WP:NATURALDAB.

Exactly! As for the rest? We've come right back to WP:BACKINBOX, because this line of questioning is basically just a rephrasing of the "Pandora's box" idea from WP:PANDORA. Each one of those redirects needs to be evaluated based on their own actual individual merits, not based on the nebulous idea that, as a group, they are somehow a WP:COSTLY problem when individual redirects are so WP:CHEAP.

is used in Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons § Subjects notable only for one event (WP:BLP1E), and often misapplied in deletion discussions.
BLP1E is a notability policy for articles whose subjects are living people only known for one event. It doesn't say we should remove mentions of "low-profile" individuals in other articles. In fact, it specifically suggests mentioning low-profile individuals in the article about the event instead. In this case, there is no event article, and White was known primarily for her association with Carrey, so it makes sense to have this information in Carrey's article.

This was originally directed towards The Laziest Men on Mars, which had been a page about the band that made both this song and Invasion of the Gabber Robots. The artist's page was BLAR'd in 2023 for lack of standalone notability-- apparently they were basically a one-hit-wonder as their only truly notable song was Invasion of the Gabber Robots, probably better known as... well, the "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" song. (Hence the BLAR target.)
Unfortunately, while it makes sense to direct searches for Invasion of the Gabber Robots or The Laziest Men on Mars there, it doesn't make sense to direct searches for Terrible Secret of Space there, as it is a song that has roughly nothing to do with this meme.

Exact words
[edit]- Exact words → Quibble (plot device) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
kind of surprisingly, not the only application of exact words, nor does the target cover enough of said applications to justify this redirect
...yes, that argument is itself subject to exact words, mainly via differing definitions of "exact words" and how the target doesn't actually mention the term consarn (talck) (contirbuton s) 12:45, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
- Delete as vague; WP:RSURPRISE. This is a common phrase that likely does not correspond to any encyclopedic entry. This almost reads as a joke since, as the nom points out, the exact words "exact words" do not appear at the target. Regardless of the intent, this redirect is unhelpful. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 16:36, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
- Comment if we have an article on the concept of quoting exact words this could make a good redirect to it, but haven't found that we do. Verbatim is a dab page that starts
Verbatim means word for word
so someone using this search term would not be confused to end up there, however nothing on the rest of the page is helpful. My next thought was Paraphrase as a {{R from antonym}}, that would help some people but not all. Exact form came in the search results but that's a mathematics topic and so definitely not relevant. There is Signing Exact English, but while relevant that's a subtopic. I'm leaning deletion for no good target, but not far enough to bold that. Thryduulf (talk) 14:32, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

Arctophile
[edit]- Arctophile → Teddy bear (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Originally a WP:DICTDEF stub from 2006; was PRODded and subsequently BLAR-with-merge'd in April 2006 (information was also moved offsite to wikt:arctophile). Information lasted from April 2006 until... huh.
- August 27th 2009, business as usual.
- September 1st, 2009, the article's hit by an IP vandal that changes the reference to teddy bear aficionados being "arctophiles" to "pedophiles".
- September 2nd, 2009, the entire sentence is removed by a well-meaning IP editor, who presumably hadn't seen the old version from a few days prior and assumed the vandal had added the entire sentence rather than changing a few words.
- September 2nd, 2009, a few hours later, the IP vandal from before comes back and vandalizes the page again.
- September 2nd, 2009, near immediately, ClueBot reverts to the version from... the well-meaning IP editor.
- Page then goes on as if nothing ever happened, nobody ever noticing that the sentence mentioning arctophiles is now gone.
Unfortunately, the article has since marched on; while my first instinct is to delete as unmentioned (or soft redirect to Wiktionary), there IS the idea that we should maybe try to readd the mention? What do you guys think? 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 04:44, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

There is a neighborhood in Chicago called East Side, Chicago, but there apparently is no commonly referred to "east side of Chicago" like there is a west side, south side, and north side (hence this redirect; see The Night Chicago Died#Accuracy).

Ocd personality
[edit]- Ocd personality → Obsessive–compulsive personality disorder (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This redirect is based merely on several incorrect assumptions. First of all, it would seem like it refers to the personality of people with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD); this is not obviously the same as what constitutes OCPD (the current target). Furthermore, this redirect seems to be the result of confusion between OCPD and OCD, and, also, it implies that OCPD is the personality that people with OCD have. I see no use for it, and I don't think we should be keeping misconceptions alive. BlockArranger (talk) 16:40, 28 January 2026 (UTC)
- Delete Rather confusing. OCD and OCPD are very much not the same thing despite their similar name and this does not have much value to the reader because of the potential confusion between different similarly named disorderse and the ambiguous redirect. Casablanca 🪨(T) 18:02, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: I agree this is likely the result of widespread confusion and is likely to mislead further. OCD is far more widely known to the general public, although it is also subject to rampant misunderstanding. This reminds me of a similar discussion not long ago. Common errors, misnomers, etc. can sometimes make for good redirects but as I said there
care should be taken to not perpetuate misconceptions
. I remain a little uneasy about the decision in that RfD. I'm leaning delete here, but would consider refining to Obsessive–compulsive personality disorder#Differential diagnosis where the relationship to OCD and other disorders is discussed. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 18:18, 29 January 2026 (UTC)- It may be worth noting that this redirect refers only to "personality"; in contrast, the discussion you linked to is about "bipolar personality disorder". A difference hare is that in the latter case, there is at least something to work with, such as, I assume, the relationship between bipolar disorder and personality disorder(s). However, "Ocd personality" does not even necessarily have anything to do with PD; rather, it could refer to what is thought or imagined to be the personality associated with having OCD, such as its signs and symptoms. Of course, it could be retargeted to the OCD article (no specific section), but I cannot imagine how that would be useful. BlockArranger (talk) 00:58, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- Good point. I think there is likely a real misconception at play but the article doesn’t address it and it’s not clear that it could. I would be somewhat surprised if reliable sources used this terminology to address the misconception and im not sure it would be WP:DUE for inclusion. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 02:17, 3 February 2026 (UTC)
- Considering the issues you mentioned, I got the idea to at least use a Template:Distinguish hatnote at the top of both the OCD and OCPD article in order to point out to the readers that these two should not be confused with each other. I think this at least makes a lot of sense, and therefore I went ahead and did it. One can at least hope that this improvement would mitigate some confusion that people might have, and if they are not aware of the other condition, they will be provided an accessible wikilink to an article where the other condition and its differences are explained. Furthemore, in a situation where we do not retain "Ocd personality", people will still see OCD when searching and wikilinking in the VisualEditor, and the target will immediately remind them to consider OCPD if that is what they are intending to refer to.

I'm not seeing why this first and middle name combination should be a redirect, when the combination alone isn't used to refer to the person and is also a match for Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo.

Retarget to Israeli-occupied territories. An AfD on a similarly-named article has led these to redirect to Palestine. However, per WP:ASTONISH, redirects that are specific to the occupation should probably point to the dedicated article rather than to the generic article about the country. Specifically, the "occupied territories" under slightly different names were a subject of international law and numerous UN resolutions for many decades, and a long-standing article about this topic exists. Strangely, the article Israeli-occupied territories was not discussed in the AfD. Place Clichy (talk) 10:32, 28 January 2026 (UTC)
- Another possible target could be History of Palestine#Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. Place Clichy (talk) 18:42, 28 January 2026 (UTC)

- i wanted to say i was just mistaken and stuff, which i most likely am, but those results, and some of my own research done right now, actually made things really confusing for the purposes of this rfd, as they seem to refer to...
- "occupied palestinian territory(ies)" separately (since everything i could find uses the two terms separately)
- two separate tags/terms taped together by coincidence or as part of a sentence (not entirely sure about percentages, so this one is either very important or completely irrelevant)
- palestinian territory that is undergoing occupation jank
- territory that is undergoing palestinian occupation jank (yes, that's apparently a different thing)
- territory that is undergoing occupation jank palestinianly (what)
- palestine itself lol
- the west bank, gaza strip, and east jerusalem specifically
- a couple buildings (coincdentally, sources that seemed to use this definition all refused to load)
- "hehehhhahhhehhahehahheaheahehehehhe wouldn't it be really funny if i said 'property' while referring to women"
- seeing as sources that (seem to) use the term deliberately seem to be either vague, about as confused as me, or certain but contradictory to others, i'll tentatively change my vote to "ow my thinky ball" consarn (talck) (contirbuton s) 23:55, 28 January 2026 (UTC)

- Keep. We only just debated this, at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2025_October_11#Occupied_Palestinian_territories and I don't see that anything has significantly changed. The AFD was clear that Palestine is the correct target for this term, and the subsequent RFD found no consensus to change that. The two terms are largely synonymous these days. The proposed retarget is to a more general article on Israeli occupation, which covers other areas such as Golan Heights. — Amakuru (talk) 15:06, 28 January 2026 (UTC)
- That discussion was a no consensus, and article Israeli-occupied territories was not discussed, which are 2 reasons why a new discussion is welcome. Although the area is indeed the same (and the AFD reflects the name under which it is most commonly known), the notion of occupied territories is not synonymous with the area and we have articles to reflect that. Place Clichy (talk) 18:06, 28 January 2026 (UTC)
- Retarget to Israeli-occupied territories per Place Clichy. --Hassan697 (talk) 11:40, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
- Keep all. I'll just repeat what I said last time since nothing has changed:
Keep all per Amakuru and common and official usage. Occupied Palestinian Territory is the name used by the UN.[35][36][37] The US State Department uses similar terminology.[38] These redirects are all common and accurate ways to describe present day Palestine. The AfD addressed this, identifying the title as a POVFORK and noting that the content substantially duplicated content from Palestine. The terminology is used and explained in several places in the Palestine article.
I see the nom's comment above that the last one closed as 'no consensus' and that Israeli-occupied territories was not explicitly discussed as an option. This does not change my view.—Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 18:24, 29 January 2026 (UTC)- For the sake of completeness, I'll directly address the WP:RASTONISH concern: The likelihood of astonishment is low here given that Occupied Palestinian Territory(ies) is often used interchangeably with "Palestine". Additionally, as previously noted, the terminology is used and explained in the article. Palestine is currently occupied by Israel and has a long history of occupation. Thus the discussion at Palestine describes all of this with links to additional articles with more detail. The RASTONISH guidance is simply to
Make it clear to the reader that they have arrived in the right place
. I believe this is reasonably well accomplished for all the reasons I've described but a bolded Occupied Palestinian Territory could be added to the lead by any editor who is concerned about this. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 19:35, 29 January 2026 (UTC)- That usage is historical. The main name used by the UN, as seen on their member list page, is Palestine/State of Palestine, since its 2012 admission as observer. That's not debated here. The issue is whether the notion of occupied territories should be erased completely, as arguably it is not the topic of article the Palestine article (few mentions of the term and not even a section header). This specific point was not addressed in your copied-and-pasted comment.
- This notion of occupied territories is historically significant. It is not used interchangeably with "Palestine". It is addressed both at Israeli-occupied territories and History of Palestine#Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, which are therefore better targets.

[edit]Boele
[edit]Nicolette Boele is not the only Boele on Wikipedia (see Boele (name) which lists other Boeles). It may be metter to retarget the redirect to Boele (name) disambiguation page. Youshouldchooseausernamethat (Youshouldtalk) 09:16, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
- Move disambiguation page to here. I was initially going to vote to keep seeing as she gets something like 30x the pageviews of the other two, but then I realized that it makes no sense to have a page titled "Boele (disambiguation)" when the title "Boele" is free. Now it could be argued based on the aforementioned pageviews that the name should just be kept as a redirect, but I don't think her notability is such that her surname alone should redirect specifically to her. However, if someone else thinks it's best to just keep I'm not particularly opposed. Also, User:Youshouldchooseausernamethat (great username), you should make sure to put your new RFDs at the top of the day's log. — Anonymous 12:24, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

- That might be how you would search, but you are not everybody.

Thryduulf (talk) 16:10, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm kinda at the point where singers with a stage name who have released solo works can reasonably be called a "band" erroneously. I mean, heck, in the target subject's subtopics (songs), from my understanding, they didn't do all of their background music, in addition to them not performing their works "a capella", meaning there's someone else who is most likely playing the background instrumentals, resulting in "band" being a plausible disambiguator, even if erroneous. (The verdict is still out for me whether this also applies to singers who go by [a variation of] their real name who release solo works, but since that doesn't apply here, I'm not going go into those weeds.)

" is a WP:ASSUMENOCLUE failure since it assumes all readers know how Wikipedia functions. In addition, in this case, use = useful, meaning 66 people/tools were served by this redirect during the past year, and were then guided to their appropriate article where at the minimum they were explained how "Lady Gaga" is not technically a band. Also, third party search engines did not return any bands specifically named "Lady Gaga" (I found a "Haus of Gaga", but that was all), meaning believing readers could be attempting to find anything other that the current target when searching this redirect is essentially flawed.

Thryduulf (talk) 13:27, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- Lady Gaga shows up as the sixth search result for this search term with an excerpt that explains exactly what she is (a person and not a band). I'm weak because it would be more ideal if she showed up as the first or second result. I tend to think redirects, except those from obvious misnomers, imply to the reader one of two things: either (1) this term is an alternative name for the target, or (2) there is information on this term somewhere at the target. The reader should realise (1) doesn't apply from a skim of the lede, which may lead some readers down a false trail of trying to find (2): the band they thought they thought of. That's particularly true with readers who see this as a search suggestion. Deletion removes confusion. J947 ‡ edits 23:25, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- Keep. And this is explicitly contrary to J947 et al. I can very easily see someone not knowing who Lady Gaga is, and searching this up because "hey, this band made this song that I heard and really like! I'd like to know more about them." We need to cater to readers who don't know ANYTHING about what they're looking for beyond what they're searching now-- and that includes people who don't know that Lady Gaga is one woman.

Because I'm not entirely certain how that's important? Largely, because the article we're directing them to explains exactly who and what Lady Gaga is. Any confusion would be cleared up near instantly just from the first sentence of the article. {{R from incorrect disambiguation}} redirects often exist for a reason, and when any potential confusion and WP:SURPRISE, if miniscule, is cleared up by reading the article itself, then that's a good thing. Like, compare these two scenarios:
"Oh, Poker Face is an amazing song! I should look up the band who played it. ...Lady GaGa, huh? Lemme type that into Wikipedia... Lady GaGa (band). ...Oh, they don't have information on this band. That's really sad, I hope they make it big someday so they can get on Wikipedia."

"Oh, Poker Face is an amazing song! I should look up the band who played it. ...Lady GaGa, huh? Lemme type that into Wikipedia... Lady GaGa (band). ...Oh, it's just one woman? Fair enough. ...Oh, and she doesn't capitalize the second G, my MP3 copy of Poker Face is tagged wrong. Lemme fix that!"

- Also,
Anybody somehow not knowing about her... shouldn't be treated as a valid excuse
There's plenty of cases where a reader might not know who or what Lady Gaga is. Out-of-touch elders, kids in middle school who've only heard her on the radio, non-Americans who might be more familiar with, say, the J-pop scene than American artists, et cetera. This is an encyclopedia, and we need to keep that in mind-- if someone is looking up Lady Gaga's page it could very well be someone who only knows her artist name and doesn't know anything else yet, just like every single other page on this encyclopedia.We're an encyclopedia. We exist, to give our readers information, to teach things. We should not assume the reader knows anything.

On the other hand, I would have no qualms at all with keeping a "Lady Gaga (person)" redirect (if that existed) when that at least wouldn't trick anybody into thinking they would be led towards a band page.

You overestimate how helpful an incorrect
disambiguationwould be plus knowingly are enabling a false notion
I'm A, not of the opinion that I'm overestimating here, and B, am explicitly not trying to "enable this false notion". Explicitly, because I am relying on common sense paired with the first sentences of the article to steer the reader right. Because which situation do YOU think is more likely:Oh, I searched for a band named Lady Gaga, and got redirected to a page on a singer named Lady Gaga. That must be an error, but the redirect's existence means there HAS to be a band named Lady Gaga. I'm going to try to search elsewhere for this band named Lady Gaga.
- Versus
Oh, I searched for a band named Lady Gaga, and got redirected to a page on a singer named Lady Gaga. I must have made an error; there must be a reason the redirect took me here. I'm guessing this is the information I was actually looking for.
- The former situation requires a leap in logic ("The redirect's existence means there has to be a band named Lady Gaga") that I find highly implausible. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 03:06, 3 February 2026 (UTC)
- The so-called "common sense" is a myth I find impossible to take seriously, and the term is a meaningless argument that incorrectly presumes most people share your senses and thought processes. There actually is too much variation among people's senses for a truly "common" one to exist. See WP:Common sense is not common for more. Furthermore, declaring your stance as "common sense" is also condescending towards those with opinions differing from yours; doing so arrogantly implies they are inferior to you for not sharing the stance you have. As for your question on which is more likely to occur, the "(band)" parenthetical implies a group exists, so instinct tells me a reader unfamiliar with the subject would be searching for a band with the name. Had an actual group sharing her name been mentioned within the bio page, the redirect wouldn't be problematic. I won't sugarcoat how it's dishonest to use "(band)" redirects when there's no such mentions plus it isn't an actual band article. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 05:18, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

The official name for the service is Vande Bharat Sleeper Express, the target of this redirect. This is not a common name and breaks naming rules by including a disambiguator in the middle of the title. Hence, it is highly unlikely that this redirect would be used. Similar for the template corresponding to the article. Arnav Bhate (talk • contribs) 08:11, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

- It would help to know the move history a little better. Unfortunately, when it comes to that stuff, Mediawiki kind of stinks. It was apparently just moved a few days ago, but looking at the page log, it looks like it might have been to revert another move first? Worst case, keep for a few months and then revisit this and it can be safely deleted. None of the sources write it with sleeper in parens, and it makes no sense to do so. Definitely delete the template redirect now, which is pointless (like the template itself, frankly). –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 21:52, 20 January 2026 (UTC)
- The history is that, an article was created at this title, was nominated for AfD, and merged into Vande Bharat Express. I was the editor who performed the merge. Concern at the AfD was that it was too soon for an article, along with people on the talk page raising the point about the parens. Once the service started, I anticipated that an article would be created and wanted to avoid an histmerge so I moved it to its current location, which is both the official and common name. I'm sure I broke a couple of policies along the way, but I think this was the cleanest solution. Arnav Bhate (talk • contribs) 14:07, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

- Both the target article and the franchise one, The Naked Gun, have #Future sections with a single sentence about a potential future film. I lean towards retargeting to The Naked Gun#Future as an improvement over the status quo.

[edit]- Point of divergence → Alternate history#Time travel to create historical divergences (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This redirect is way too specific for a title that seems like it would explore in general how alternate histories decide the "root cause" of the changes; most points of divergence in the genre do not involve time travel. The old target before 2023 was a now-deleted section on "stories set in a multiverse in which all alternate histories are co-existent and travel between them occurs via a technology involving portals and/or paratime transporter machinery. These authors established the convention of a secret paratime trading empire" which is also similarly too specific. If we can't find a more apt target, I think we should red this link to encourage creation of a well-sourced article exploring the subject in general. Aaron Liu (talk) 15:49, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

- Weak keep. This got 43 hits last year, which is way more than I would have expected so I went to Google to see how common a typo it is. What I found was a mix of results about a basketball player named Taihland Owens about whom we have only a couple of passing mentions that I've found, and typos for the country. It's not common enough a typo to be a clear keep, and the basketball player means we can't be certain that all 43 users were people were looking for the country, but on balance since it's not harming anything (I've not investigated whether the sportsperson is notable enough for an article, but if they are the article will be at their full name not their first name) so it's enough for a weak keep.

Not mentioned in the target article, leaving readers unclear what these redirects are meant to refer. Per third party search engines, these redirects most likely refer to a song by Sean Paul named "Calling on Me", which is mentioned only by name in Sean Paul discography, but the mention there doesn't reference any involvement by Rita Ora; however, third party search engines also state that it seems Rita Ora may have been involved with the song at some point, but had to drop out of the project. Compound that with the fact that these redirects are "incorrect name" redirects for "Calling on Me", deletion seems to be the best route here. Steel1943 (talk) 04:42, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

- Delete per BDD and WP:UFILM, which clearly says (emphasis mine):
After a film receives a wide release or an official title, redirects such as Wikipedia (upcoming film) and Untitled Wikipedia film are no longer accurate and thus misleading to readers. No earlier than 30 days after this happens, these redirects should be nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion once they are no longer of use and pageviews have tapered off.

once they are no longer useful
. We do not do these readers any benefits by dumping them at search results which are not relevant (or at least the ones I got were not relevant) when there is a redirect that tells them there isn't a film upcomming at the moment. As for "tapered off", yes it means "tapered off to background noise", because that's the best indication we have that a redirect is no longer useful - we don't delete redirects simply because some arbitrary threshold of "enough" people using it isn't reached.

These redirects should point to the same target, but I'm not sure where. On a side note, there exists many related redirects that point to different places and need to be discussed in general, explained below:

Besides these two targets linking to many similar redirects, there is also List of countries by GDP (nominal) per capita and Gross domestic product. There should be a discussion about all of these articles' overlapping redirects, but it would take a lot of work. A few of ~50 varying redirects related to countries' wealth include List of Countries by GDP, List of countries by total wealth, List of countries by GDP per capita, and Lists of countries by GDP per capita, all targeting to different places. Not sure how all of these redirects could be cleaned up, but they are currently a mess and not fine as it is currently.

DABify.My sense is that Lists of sovereign states and dependent territories#Gross domestic product is the more likely meaning but I don't have a strong argument to support this. I think this is hopelessly ambiguous; absent a clear basis for selecting one or the other, a disambiguation page is appropriate. Side note: Kudos to User:Mathguy2718 for surfacing related issues worthy of attention but not bundling all of these into a single nomination, given the differences and particularities in the various terms and targets that will likely result in divergent outcomes. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 20:14, 20 January 2026 (UTC) Amended !vote below relist. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 06:11, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Redirect Archives/July 2006 § Richest country → Luxembourg – retarget to 'List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita'
- Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 April 1 § Richest countries in the world – retarget to 'Lists of countries by GDP'
- I did find a very old discussion of Richest country as well as one for the very similar redirect Richest countries in the world, which probably should be bundled with this nomination. These both now target Lists of sovereign states and dependent territories#Gross domestic product following numerous page moves and an eventual merger impacting the various past titles. These old, low–moderate participation RFDs don't establish a strong consensus but lend some credence to my initial thought that Lists of sovereign states and dependent territories#Gross domestic product is the better target. A hatnote could be added there if this target is selected for all these redirects.—Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 20:35, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

- Retarget Richest countries to Lists of sovereign states and dependent territories#Gross domestic product. This makes the most sense to me and aligns with the two most similar redirects and prior consensus for where these should point.

Western alliance
[edit]See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Western Alliance. "Western alliance", in sentence case, refers to an alliance of Western entities. NATO is one, but there are others that perhaps might be so described (Five Eyes, OECD). Is it sufficient, in the words of the last editor to edit this page in 2016, to say "in practice, the 'Western alliance' basically always means NATO"? Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 21:01, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
A google search indicates that the term "Western alliance" is most likely to be associated with Western Alliance Bancorporation. Other than that there does seem to be some colloquial usage referring to either NATO or the allies in WWII. I'd suggest retarget to Western Alliance Bancorporation. TarnishedPathtalk 21:14, 19 January 2026 (UTC)- The banking usage does seem to be the predominant usage of the term. Retargeting seems reasonable. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 21:35, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- Keep in mind that Google or Bing search results can be biased to prioritize commercial entities and ad revenues. Book results (people do still read books, no?) clearly show a predominance of the geopolitical in the results. And while not definitive, Wikinav results for Dec for Western Alliance show a large proportion of readers (over 75%) continuing to NATO over the bank. older ≠ wiser 21:52, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- @Bkonrad, and the WWII allies? TarnishedPathtalk 22:25, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- Comment may be better to wait on the AFD, doubtful there is a WP:DIFFCAPS reason to do different things with the two. As Bkonrad has pointed out at the AFD, there are a lot of sources that use the string as a synonym for NATO. Of course that does not necessarily make it primary. ~2026-39780-5 (talk) 22:36, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- Retarget to Western Bloc as far as this lowercase version is concerned. This article includes both NATO and non-NATO countries, so it would give the reader broader coverage. A possible retarget to Western Alliance Bancorporation would seem astonishing to me for the lowercase version but perhaps not as much for the uppercase version. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 23:03, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Western Alliance, there is the option of conducting a round robin swap between Western alliance and Western Alliance, with the former becoming a DAB page and the latter a redirect to the bank. TarnishedPathtalk 23:27, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- I'm open to a DAB page. I suggested Western Bloc as a possible target since it seemed to have the closest title of any existing article. But it doesn't discuss the WWII alliance mentioned above. There is also Free World, which I considered as a possible target, but that could be seen as non-neutral. A DAB page could potentially include both of those along with NATO, the WWII alliance, and other international orgs. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 03:24, 20 January 2026 (UTC)
- From the AFD there is sourcing for at least one additional entry; probably others can be sourced too. There are also some assertions that one topic or another may be primary, but as I mentioned at the AFD, even if that is the case, it is solvable by moving the title so it's appended with "(disambiguation)" and reformatting per MOS:DABPRIMARY. ~2026-39780-5 (talk) 03:55, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

These redirects, though quite old, seem unlikely as search terms. To clarify, I could see a redirect such as List of countries (A) or List of sovereign states (A) targeting List of sovereign states#A, but not CountriesA doing so. These redirects of the past have probably outlived their usefulness, assuming they ever had any. (Also, for what it's worth, depending on how the discussion goes, it's worth noting that the sections/anchors List of sovereign states#W and List of sovereign states#X do not exist [in other words, there are apparently no sovereign states that begin with the letter "W" or "X"], and none of the nominated redirects currently target sections/anchors.) Steel1943 (talk) 19:55, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- Refine all to section anchors except CountriesW and CountriesX, delete CountriesW and CountriesX. I'd like to note doubly that when created, CountriesX was literally just the sentence "there are none", and CountriesW listed only Wales (which is not a sovereign state, given it is a part of the United Kingdom.)

Thanks, voorts (talk/contributions) 20:28, 26 January 2026 (UTC)- Comment: I think CountriesU deserves a separate discussion due to it's relation to UuU (CountriesU replaced UuU and may even have been what allowed UuU to be the first Wikipedia edit before backups were discovered). CountriesU is even linked to from WP:UuU and so I think First Wikipedia edit#First edit might be a more appropriate target for CountriesU but that should be a different discussion.

List of National Titles
[edit]- List of National Titles → List of sovereign states (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
It's unclear what should be done with this redirect. For one, this redirect targets its current target due to what looks like a WP:BLAR of an almost 4-year old article in 2008. However, the title "National Title" is a redirect that targets National championship, a subject that has almost nothing to do with the current target article. In addition, the history hiding under this redirect, seems to correlate with the subject of the current targeted article. Steel1943 (talk) 19:25, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- Retarget to National championship, which is a list of lists. "National Title" is an unusual way to refer to the official name of a country. Retargeting aligns with the common meaning and the related redirect National Title. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 21:31, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- Delete: I was almost convinced to retarget per above, but a quick search reveals several companies calling themselves "national title". They aren't notable, but that doesn't mean someone wouldn't potentially search for them, and to me this seems more plausible than searching "national title" to find an ambiguous national championship. — Anonymous 02:57, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

- Comment my first thought on seeing this title was national-level awards (things like Order of the British Empire, etc). A bit of searching suggests that Order of merit is possibly the best target for that, although we don't have anything I've found that's perfect. Thryduulf (talk) 23:10, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

- Note that these were discussed quite recently. I'm adding the Old RfD template to this listing. The September 2025 discussion covered both redirects and closed as 'no consensus'. I still disagree with the 'keep' arguments but unless there's new information or a fresh set of arguments I'm not sure it's worth discussing again so soon. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 21:52, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- Sorry, I didn't think to check for old RfDs. I also disagree with the very tenuous affinity to French claimed in the previous discussions, and note that the only incoming link in mainspace remains a poorly formatted list that existed at the time of the 2015 discussion. I also note that two other country redirects with minimal affinity are currently being discussed at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2026 January 15 § Indonésie and Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2026 January 15 § Malaisie.

Penisgate
[edit]- Penisgate → Lenny Kravitz#2012–present: The Hunger Games films, Super Bowl performance, and further albums (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
No mention of such a term at target Vestrian24Bio 11:19, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- Keep - it's referring to "
During an August 2015 show in Stockholm, Kravitz experienced a wardrobe malfunction. His leather pants ripped open, exposing his penis
" in the target section, which cites a people.com article that includes the terms "Penis Gate" (in headline) and "#penisgate" (in body), making the redirect valid. Also, redirect terms don't have to be directly mentioned at targets - RFD nominations should ideally have a stronger rationale than this. BugGhost 🦗👻 19:26, 19 January 2026 (UTC) - Delete as ambiguous. Google and DuckDuckGo searches both return several news articles like this covering a current Olympics scandal. A Twitter search for the hashtag #penisgate (some hits are NSFW) shows that this can and has been applied to numerous incidents and scandals (including an awful lot of references to Ted Cruz). A Google News search for articles published from 1/1/2017 through 12/31/2025 does contain references to the Kravitz incident but these are not the majority of hits. There is no primary topic for this phrase, which is unsurprising as the -gate suffix is a common feature of the language. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 22:05, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
