This article has only one source (Wikipedia:Articles with a single source) which is referencing the band's YouTube channel. The rest are external links, those being their MySpace profile and their webpage, all of which are dead links. All three of these sources are primary which is not a good idea to use per WP:PRIMARY and WP:PSTS.

Even if the band does exist, there has been very little, if any secondary reporting on their actions. Qwerty123M (talk) 10:50, 3 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Useless WP:CFORK. Sources do not cover the individual award, only name it with winners of the overall award show. On its face it appears to have been an award given out since 2014. In reality, the award was given at Telangana Gaddar Film Awards of 2024, a one-time event where they presented awards for numerous years. The 2024 show is also a useless CFORK of Telangana Gaddar Film Awards which closed as no consensus at an AfD last year. CNMall41 (talk) 06:52, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

It is an official state award on the lines of National Film Awards, Tamil Nadu State Film Awards, etc. The Government of Telangana has invited films for 2025 in Jan 2026, so it's not a one-time event as claimed. -- Ab207 (talk) 07:04, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Wondering if LLM was involved in your search as the first two sources you linked to do not mention the award at all, just the show. The third only states the name of who won that specific award, not significant coverage about the category itself.--CNMall41 (talk) 07:07, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
No LLM involved. But I've fixed SouthFirst's link. The show took place on 16 June 2025, and these sources are from 30-31 May. Sources such as Chitrajyothi (Andhra Jyothi) give significant coverage in the form of background and jury members who selected the winners, along with the list of winners. -- Ab207 (talk) 07:18, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Noting this. Once a comment is made based on links you provided, it would be better to strike any link you want to replace as it makes it seem like I did not look at your comment. As far as the link you changed it to, it is a simple list of winners for the award (that were given at a SINGLE event, not MULTIPLE years, and is based on churnalism - no byline "South First Desk" which indicates WP:NEWSORGINDIA). In fact, it is based on this churnalism which clearly states, "the TFDC had announced the complete list of winners..." Also, a list of winners is not significant coverage. --CNMall41 (talk) 07:19, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
The Chitrayjothi source is also churnalism.--CNMall41 (talk) 07:20, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
In any case, this list is a WP:OKFORK for the main page which is notable, has encyclopedic value and prevents the clutter in the main page which covers Awards a whole, rather than a single category. -- Ab207 (talk) 07:41, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Which page? There is the main event page and then the single year event.--CNMall41 (talk) 07:56, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
How would having navigation for a single category for an award that was only given out one year be helpful to readers? It currently serves as an WP:INDISCRIMINATE list of award winners given in 2024 for a single category. Wikipedia is basically serving as churnalism and promotional tool for the show. --CNMall41 (talk) 16:05, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Most main awards at national/state level film awards ceremonies (and best feature is probably the clearest example of that) have their page and it obviously offers information and helps navigate. Indiscriminate, how? It lists only verified awardees. How could that possibly be considered indiscriminate? Promotion and churnalism, how? I honestly do not understand what your concern is. ~2026-47538-0 (talk) 21:01, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I realize you may "not understand what [my] concern is" but I have stated it in my nomination and in the above thread so I will not attempt to WP:SATISFY at this point, especially since you have presented an other stuff exists argument which is an argument to avoid. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:07, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I see you changed the link prior to my response so I will ask, "which awards in that category of 182 awards has had only one event?" If you are saying that any award that has that category is inherently notable. It is not. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:09, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I did not change any link, I just inserted a category (belatedly and then fixed it) to show you what kind of navigation trees can be used. That was while you were replying, maybe, yes, but not sure about what you mean (prior to?). For the rest, I don’t think your question nor the essay you link is related to the main point in my vote so I won’t reply any further. Don’t ”satisfy”, sure, no problem. Have an excellent day. ~2026-47538-0 (talk) 22:15, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it's fair to call it "INDISCRIMINATE." The list specifically contains only the films which won the highest film award in the state they are produced. It is strictly 3 films (first, second and third) each year, no more, no less. It hardly matters when they are announced together or at once. It's fairly common for Indian states to announced awards of 2-3 years at once because Governments have other things to do too. -- Ab207 (talk) 15:16, 27 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
NEVENT is not about concerts, award shows, etc. See WP:NCONCERT which isn't covered under EVENT. This would need to meet WP:GNG. Either way, the coverage is not significant. Can you point out the significant coverage that isn't churnalism? --CNMall41 (talk) 04:34, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
1: not churnalism, 2: not churnalism, 3: not churnalism, 4: not churnalism and 5: No WP:CHURNALISM. Zuck28 (talk) 13:22, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
The very first source you linked to says "In a press conference.....unveiled a retrospective list...." (my emphasis) which is clearly churnalism. They took an announcement and reprinted it. It's routine. Not significant. No independent thought. And....the same information was within a day of several others with the same information including here, here, and here. Notability is NOT based on press announcements. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:13, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
In fact, the first four you linked are all coming from the announcement. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:14, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: The keep !votes have quite a range of rationales. It would be ideal if during the relist period contributors might focus on (1) whether the sources cited above are sufficiently reliable – perhaps a source analysis table might help? – and (2) whether this award has independent notability or could be dealt with adequately in Telangana Gaddar Film Awards of 2024.

I don't see a pass of WP:BIO - sources largely comprise interviews, or articles written by the subject, so WP:GNG isn't met. Book reviews are OK, but one reasonably well-reviewed book does not meet the bar of WP:NAUTHOR. And I don't see that WP:NPROF is achieved either.

The comment below relates to the AfD for Vismaya Mohanlal - I can't see how to move it, so if sks would oblige...
  • Keep – The subject meets the General Notability Guideline (WP:GNG) through significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable secondary sources.

Vismaya Mohanlal is an author with a published book (Grains of Stardust, 2021) that has received independent coverage from reliable outlets such as *The Hindu*, *The Times of India*, *Mathrubhumi*, and *Gulf News*. These sources discuss her work and artistic pursuits beyond her familial relationship.

Additionally, her upcoming acting debut in Thudakkam has been covered by multiple independent reliable sources, indicating sustained public and media interest. The article can be further improved with additional citations, but deletion would be premature given the existing coverage. Aju88 (talk) 09:11, 3 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • '''Keep''' – The subject meets the General Notability Guideline (WP:GNG) through significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable secondary sources.
Vismaya Mohanlal has received substantial independent coverage for her literary work. Her poetry collection ''Grains of Stardust'' (2021) has been discussed in detail by reliable national and regional publications including *The Times of India*, *The New Indian Express*, *Mathrubhumi*, and *The News Minute*. These are independent sources that focus on her writing, artistic voice, and creative identity, not merely her familial association.
Examples of such coverage include:
• *The Times of India* article reviewing and contextualising her book (2021).
• *The New Indian Express* feature article titled “Stories of Stardust” (2021).
• *Mathrubhumi* and *The News Minute* articles covering her work as an author and poet.
Additionally, her transition into cinema and upcoming acting debut have also been reported by independent media, indicating sustained public and media interest beyond a single event.
While the article can be further improved with expanded sourcing and prose, the available coverage already satisfies WP:GNG. Deletion at this stage would therefore be premature. ~~~~ Aju88 (talk) 09:21, 3 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Does not appear to meet WP:BIO. Lacks depth of coverage in independent sources, most are trivial in relation to subjects father. That person A has a relationship with well-known person B, such as being a spouse or child, is not a reason for a standalone article on A (unless significant coverage can be found on A); relationships do not confer notability. However, person A may be included in the related article on B. As per WP:INVALIDBIO Prowithapen (talk) 07:46, 3 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Subject does not pass WP:GNG, either as a playwright or as a psychic. The Nightline source is the only one approaching WP:SIGCOV. The remaining sources are not about the subject and do not contribute to notability. David Palmer//cloventt (talk) 03:22, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at newspapers.com and proquest I am pretty sure he does based on having multiple works that themself received reviews. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:35, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:CREATIVE, for them notability is inherited. His notable works include Terminal Bar and Mystery School[1][2] Kelob2678 (talk) 10:28, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    The guideline is not as straight forward as "notability is inherited," requiring a significant or well-known work. I agree that the two plays are notable themselves but it's not obvious that these two plays are significant enough for him to pass NCREATIVE. BrechtBro (talk) 19:02, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. He passes NAUTHOR-3 for creating the notable play Terminal Bar (play). 5Q5| 17:52, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect to Terminal Bar (play). I think keeping the article encourages weighting problems, since he appears to be notable only for the two plays mentioned by @Kelob2678. As there's no article on Mystery School (the less-notable of the two), merging to an author section to the article on Terminal Bar is adequate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BrechtBro (talkcontribs) 08:09, 27 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I was considering withdrawing this because a deeper search into old newspapers (should have done that in my WP:BEFORE, though I didn't have newspapers.com access) found more sources related to some of his plays. However I am still not convinced the plays are particularly notable, at least enough for inheritance. The test for WP:NAUTHOR inheritance is that the work is itself significant, and that it has itself had multiple independent reviews. I'm not convinced these plays are significant. David Palmer//cloventt (talk) 19:19, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Significant here means notable for WP:NAUTHOR. A book or play can be notable without ever receiving reviews, which would not translate to author notability, that is why it says and (so you don't get technical author notability from cases where the book got no coverage, like if it won an award or is a very prominent textbook) How else are we going to determine significance? Are you suggesting that if one review (the only review a book ever got) calls a work "significant", this is better evidence of it being "significant" than the book receiving dozens of reviews (Not this case but I am giving an example)? PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:42, 27 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    I think you've misunderstood me. My reading of the guideline is that for an author to inherit notability from a work, their work needs to be significant, which is to say more than merely notable. The term the guideline uses is "significant or well-known work". A play with a brief tour and some reviews might be notable, but it is not significant. To me significance implies the play should have been very widely acclaimed, or it otherwise can be verified that it is of particularly high quality.
    It seems wrong to me that the author of a play that itself only barely meets WP:GNG would be automatically notable enough for their own article, just because their play got a couple of routine reviews. David Palmer//cloventt (talk) 20:23, 27 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Judging "significance" in this manner is wholly arbitrary, the only usage of it onwiki is in the context of notability. We do not judge notability based on how good or bad we think something is, at all. And reviews are inherently not WP:ROUTINE, they are not any of the things listed there. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:11, 28 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@PARAKANYAA: and @Cloventt: Generally we interpret criteria 3 and 4C of WP:NCREATIVE as having multiple independent critical reviews of substance in by-lined publications of multiple works (ie more than one work created by a subject). Sometimes people will discount local coverage, but in this case we have national magazines and newspapers covering productions, so that isn't an issue. I found a Los Angeles Times piece verifying Solig won a Drama League Award in 1988 for The Pompeii Traveling Show, and added a Playbill article on him. That award win clearly demonstrates criteria 4c is met, and also shows that Terminal Bar is not his only notable play. Best.4meter4 (talk) 07:26, 3 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was going to close this as weak keep but the more I looked at both articles, I think the correct move here is to merge to Terminal Bar (play). Both articles are in a sad state and if ever the notability of the author or there's more information, it can be split off; as it stands now, I don't think there's sufficient notability or information to warrant a standalone article for the author. I think this would be a fair compromise. Mkdw talk 04:49, 3 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Has lots of critical reviews for multiple stage works in both regional and national publications.

As outlined on the article's talk page, the article fails the requirements of WP:NCOMPANY / WP:GNG. Most of the cited references are primary sources, such as the company's website, and are not independent, or they don't specifically mention Escape Studios. They only refer to Rancho V and Skyline Studio. The article's creator has argued that they are one and the same but has not been able to provide any independent verifiable proof that is the case rather than being conjecture.

Of particular concern is the use of testimonials that have no independent verification. As per WP:ABOUTSELF this is material that is self-serving and involves claims by third parties, as such there is significant doubt as to their authenticity. The article's creator has argued that "these are verifiable statements attributed to named individuals, not anonymous promotional content" however they are not verifiable and they have only been provided by the operators of the studio, not as press releases or statements provided by the artists/individuals.

Similarly, the creator has put forward that the studio is connected to a Grammy-nominated album, irrespective of WP:NOTINHERITED, none of the references collaborate that the album was recorded at Escape, only that "several of the tracks made during a six week studio trip the band took to Joshua Tree—even staying adjacent to the location its Live From Joshua Tree album was filmed and recorded on" but doesn't specifically mention which studio or that it was Esacpe studio.

Unsure what specific rationale to say, but this is not useful at all. This disambiguation page has two non-English words, and a Wikipedia namespace subpage.

Current sourcing is entirely routine and promotional, often interviews, which does not demonstrate individual notability per WP:SINGER or NACTOR and is perhaps TOOSOON. Per WP:BANDMEMBER article should be a redirect to Nogizaka46.

Admittedly, I cannot do a thorough WP:BEFORE in Japanese. English language searches do not return reliable sources on this Aya Ogawa. Japanese language article has more sources, and appears thorough, with a citation added as recently as January 18, but the sources are still largely promotional and I do not see SIGCOV. Almost of all of it is also still in reference to the band [3], so BANDMEMBER applies. A couple sources not about her work in the band are promotional [4] or trivial [5].

Delete. The notion of a boiling point does indeed have encyclopedic relevance, which is why we have an article titled boiling point. The elements do as well, and they too have articles - hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, and so on - and those articles even have infoboxes which include vital data like the boiling point. But this particular tabulation of data is not itself an encyclopedic topic. There is a good "master list" of the elements and their most important properties - including their boiling points - at List of chemical elements; we don't need another page dedicated to just this property.

Category:Army installations by country

This distinction was intended to allow creation in the future of "Army installations by type" and maybe "Army installations by period/war".. like maybe "Army installations of World War II" etc. For that reason, I would kindly request that the growth potential of this category be maintained, by maintaining this wording. Buckshot06 (talk) 22:48, 15 January 2026 (UTC)Category.[reply]
This category is no longer a redundant layer.
I have taken a little time in response and created the other potential category branches:
There are now three categories under Category:Army installations.
There were seven categories for different types of U.S. Army installations, plus Category:Army training installations, so I have now created the intermediary Category:Army installations by type. As a subcategory of Category:Former military installations I have also created Category:Army installations by time period to cover Category:Former installations of the United States Army and a German Army World War II training site.
So, by creating Army installation categories by type and time period, I have grouped a total of eight U.S. Army subcategories together, plus the Army training installations category, plus a category for closed and World War II camps/site. Kind regards, Buckshot06 (talk) 17:54, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know, I still don't think we need the extra layers. I would upmerge Category:Army installations by type and delete Category:Army installations by time period since the name doesn't really apply to the contents. Mclay1 (talk) 06:58, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Typographers and type designers

[edit]

:*Merge Category:Japanese typographers and type designers to Category:Japanese designers and Category:Japanese typographers and type designers :*Merge Category:Slovak typographers and type designers to Category:Slovak designers and Category:Typographers and type designers

  • Nominator's rationale There are 22 biographical articles directly in the category Category:Typographers and type designers. I reviewed every single one, and none of them fit in any existing by nationality sub-cat. I do not believe these 7 categories, all of which only have 1 article, are helpful to navigation. I believe it will make navigation easier if we upmerge them to their listed parent categories. I believe this would be the best move to follow the guidelines about narrow categories. There is no objection to these categories existing in therory, but having them as 1 article categories is not aiding navigation.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:55, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, no good reason to remove these from Category:Typographers and type designers by nationality. There is no rule nor any good reason why small cats shouldn't exist next to large cats in such a clear category system. Much easier to find ones from country X or y directly like this, much more likely that people are looking for the ones from one or two specific countries than that they want all typographers from small countries. Fram (talk) 16:23, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Note that some of the above categories now have 2, 3 or even 4 articles instead of 1. Fram (talk) 16:46, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Withdraw Category:Japanese typographers because that has 3 articles. We should not be placing people in these categories when their careers were after emigration, so the Slovenian category should be empty and none of the other categories have more than 2 articles that properly belong there.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:31, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • For example since Ipsen only was involved in type designing after he immigrated to the US, he should be in the American category and not in the Danish one, which would limit that category to 2 article which I do not think is enough. I really do not think 3 is enough, I think we should be at 4, but am going to accept the Japanese cat to try to move this nomination forward.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:55, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    A Dane living and working in the US is still a Dane. Fram (talk) 20:01, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Slovak cat has 2 people who were American type designers, 1 Dutch and 1 who would go in Category:Czechoslovak typographers and type designers if we had such a category. None of them seem to have ever been nationals of the country of Slovakia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:59, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    They were described as Slovak and in Slovak categories already. E.g.the one you describe as Dutch is described as Dutch Slovak, in Slovak categories, receives award from the Slovak government ... I see no reason to exclude him from the Slovak category here. Fram (talk) 20:10, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Dutch Slovak means Dutch nationals of Slovak descent. Such people do not belong in the category for nationals of Slovakia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:16, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Or it means someone with the dual nationality, or a former Slovak who is now Dutch? He is not just of Slovak descent, he was born and raised in Slovakia, studied in Bratislava... Fram (talk) 20:24, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    People should only be placed in categories that intersect occupation and nationality should be limited to those who were clearly nationals of the country in question when they were engaged in the occupation. In general if they only start the occupation after leaving the country they go in the country of which they were nationals of while engaged in the occupation.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:34, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    That´s a very restrictive view on nationality and not one usually used by sources. When Picasso worked and lived in France, he still was a Spanish painter. Messi is still an Argentinian football player. Prince Harry is still British. Fram (talk) 21:12, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Bilak is described as Dutch in the article. These are categories by nationality, They need to be limited to people who were actually nationals of the country in question. We should not willy nilly apply them to people of an ethnic group who were never actually nationals of the country.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:18, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Not true. He is described as " is a Dutch-Slovak designer ". Where is your evidence that he never had the Slovak nationality? Typotheque.com 13 April 2005: "Rudy VanderLans talks with Peter Biľak about the Typotheque founder's education, design practice and experience as an ex-pat Slovak living in the Netherlands". Eye magazine 2009[13]: "Peter Bil’ak is a Slovak writer and designer, principal of the type foundry Typotheque and a founding editor of Dot Dot Dot." The Typographic Times[14]: "You’re a Slovak living in The Netherlands." Also in books and print magazines[15][16][17]... Why do you keep on repeating the same incorrect statements about people, as if you have actually researched anything (e.g. "people of an ethnic group who were never actually nationals of the country.")? You have zero evidence for your opposition to labeling him as Slovak, and your insistence here and with other articles is becoming not only very tiring but a clear BLP violation as well, deciding for people which nationality they have or don't have without providing any actual evidence for your claims. Your main activity on enwiki is categorizing and decategorizing people based on your too often mistaken conceptions of what nationality is. This is worrying and probably deserves a topic ban.

  • Comment Contrary to what was said above Peter Biľak was not born and raised in Slovakia. He was born and raised in Czechoslovakia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:37, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    He was born and raised in Slovakia at a time when it was one of the two partspart of Czechoslovakia, and then became a Slovakian. The school he teaches at in The Hague calls him a Slovakian.[18]. Can we please stop arguing over even the most basic stuff? Fram (talk) 21:20, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Zuzana Licko left Czechoslovakia at age 7. She clearly does not belong in this category at all. We should not be putting people who emigrated as little children in categories like this.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:22, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Emigrating at a young age doesn't change your nationality. There is nothing "clearly" about this, as she is described as Slovak by reliable sources like the MOMA and the Denver Art Museum. Fram (talk) 11:56, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge for now, this is not helpful for navigation between articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:03, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge for Now Relatively obscure occupations form useful categories for some countries but not others and we shouldn't automatically create subcats for every possible small entry. No objection to future recreation if any country has a few new articles published though. - RevelationDirect (talk) 21:02, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge for now. The trouble with small intersection categories of country and occupation is not so much that some countries are bypassed but that some occupations are uselessly refined. Merging to less specialized occupations is therefore appropriate then. Place Clichy (talk) 16:49, 18 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment on the Slovak issue above, there was no Slovakia when Licko was born in 1962. Czechoslovakia was a unitary state at that point. The Slovak Socialist Republic was only formed in 1969, possibly after she emigrated. Slovak per our article is an ethnic designation. So what the website mentioned is probably saying is that she is ethnically Slovak. These categories here are by nation the person is a national of not by ethnicity. So we probably should name the category in question either Slovakian type designers and typograohers or Type designers and typographers from Slovakia, I really think we need to use the later form for clarity more often. Our article on Slovakia says that 88% of the population is Slovaks. 8% of the population is Hungarians, who basically all have lived in the area since before it stopped being part of the Kingdom of Hungary in 1918, and 2% are Romani. However this may be counting the Rusyn population as Slovak, a view that they have not always agreed to. I have doubts we want to have type designers and typograohers by ethnicity at all. There are Slovak categories that do make sense, but there are others that should be Slovakian. Currently 8% of Slovakia's population identifies as ethnically Hungarian. Basically all these people have lived in the modern boundaries of Slovakia since it was part of the Kingdom of Hungary which was the case until 1918. The Romani are evidently 2% of the population.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:37, 25 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects

[edit]

Move Your Body (Sean Paul song)

[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]

This is an improper cross namespace redirect. Gonnym (talk) 09:12, 3 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

[edit]

Redirect for a gag character who appears for one scene in one episode Olliefant (she/her) 00:43, 3 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]

Templates and Modules

[edit]

The infobox is unnecessary. No one really cares for a box that specifically leads to the "busiest airports in the middle east". The pages that it does lead to are very specific lists for Turkey and Iran, a single airport for Northern Cyprus, and the general list of airports in Israel. All the other countries are redlinked. Also, the formatting is terrible. Also, Palestine & Gaza don't have airports, to say nothing about having 'busiest airports'. Overall, its a useless template that links to two places.TimeEngineer (talk) 11:02, 3 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
