• Fight Club (book vs. film) → Fight Club  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

redirect that serves no purpose but conflates two articles (book and film) Widefox; talk 23:45, 1 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Keep. It's part of the history of the target article. The history shows that there was a debate about a comparisons section that was eventually turned content moved ... well, I haven't been able to fully trace it yet. But wherever the content ended up, we shouldn't be making it even harder for future editors to unpuzzle it by deleting unharmful redirects and the history they contain. Rossami (talk) 04:56, 2 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Delete as misleading since it implies a comparison between the book and film, which we don't have. This is also a classic WP:XY situation and we can't retarget to both Fight Club (film) and Fight Club (novel). -- Tavix ^(talk) 05:05, 2 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yup, it is exactly XY. I wasn't even aware of WP:XY. We do have much rule-ness. Widefox; talk 22:37, 4 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Delete - this was a content split from Fight Club starting with this revision 7 Sep 2006, and was merged back in this revision, four days later. It was always comparing the film to the book and always belonged in the film article, if anywhere. It was eventually trimmed out but it lasted quite some time, I haven't found where it was actually finally removed. I don't think a history merge is possible. However, since none of the short-lived comparison article's content is currently being used anywhere, I think it's safe to delete in terms of attribution. The content was built in the film article (and that history survives) and there were only a handful of edits to the comparison article anyway.

Delete as misleading, because of the implication that there is a translation list somewhere on the page, when there isn't, nor should there be per WP:NOTDIC. There is a few foreign-language words in the etymology, but they are to show the evolution of the word; they aren't necessarily 1:1 translations. -- Tavix ^(talk) 23:42, 1 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• More equal → Animal Farm  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I believe this is likely to astonish. "More equal" is usually used in terms of equality (eg: after the Civil Rights Movement, blacks became more equal). I could see this vaguely referring to Primus inter pares, probably from a critical viewpoint. Thoughts? -- Tavix ^(talk) 21:54, 1 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Comment - it's just as likely as a reference to Animal Farm, I think, wherein the pigs espoused equality for all of the animals, but also proposed that they were more equal than the others. I think it's more of an allusion to benign dictatorship, but then again I'm not a literary critic. It's vague, I wouldn't be sad if this were made more deleted. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 22:08, 1 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It's definitely a reference to Animal Farm, although it's only part of it. The full quote is: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." Several non-vague variants of that quote redirect there, and I'm fine with all of them but this one. -- Tavix ^(talk) 22:16, 1 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Delete this allocation of resources is more equal then that one. Very vague. Legacypac (talk) 22:12, 1 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Weak delete per WP:D2 confusing as WP:XY. Greater than and Greater than or equal target Inequality (mathematics), but no closer term such as more than or equal or more or equal. Despite the apparent (and in Orwell's case intentional) contradiction in terms, it can validly, if a little vaguely, be used to mean "nearer equality" or "greater equality" in many senses of "equality" (such as at The Spirit Level: Why More Equal Societies Almost Always Do Better), so I don't think any one stands out.

That being said, I would have thought its current target is the most likely: but then, anyone knowing that derivation is more than equal to the task of searching for "Animal Farm", and anyone not knowing it can find out from a search, where currently Animal Farm sits as the fourth result (I don't know how much that is influenced by the redirect's presence). We don't have more-equal, fortunately. Si Trew (talk) 04:36, 2 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• 3pac → Tupac Shakur  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete, aside from name similarity, 3pac has nothing to do with Tupac Shakur. 3pac was the pseudonym of YouTube rapper Ryan James Harryman. Here's his Know Your Meme. He's notable in the meme world for his feud with Eminem and rapping about Ebola. He ended up dying from a Water Polo incident a few months back and made the news. [1] [2] I think an article can be written about him and I'm pretty sure that someone searching for "3pac" is looking for an article about Harryman and not about Tupac Shakur. Therefore, this should be redlinked to show that we have no information about 3pac. -- Tavix ^(talk) 21:38, 1 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • • I did not say they were not entitled to include "policy"; I said that the school is not entitled with "Policy"; i.e. that "Policy" is not part of their title. So it is WP:RFD#D5 nonsense to call it something which it is not called. Si Trew (talk) 04:23, 2 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Deletions are simple and don't bloat the database. Incorrect names spread over the internet from Wikipedia. They make the right information harder to find by presenting a confusing array of options, which is the opposite of what redirects are supposed ro do. Legacypac (talk) 07:58, 25 January 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • I'm sorry, Legacypac, but that is not true. Deletions do in fact add to the database. Granted, it's a small bloat (and considerably less than the debate we're having about it) but unless the redirect is harmful, they're unnecessary. Re: incorrect names - that is not a valid reason to delete a redirect. All redirects are "incorrect" by definition. If that were the right title for the page, that's where we'd put the main article. Furthermore, redirects are generally (though not always) suppressed by the websites that clone and/or scrape Wikipedia. And even the patently "wrong" redirects immediately take the reader to the "right" title. That is exactly what they're supposed to do. Rossami (talk) 03:50, 26 January 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Incorrect names absolutely spread error on the internet. See [4] which took 2 seconds to spot on the Neelix list. See the discussion here [5] and especially comments by User:Sphilbrick about the lack of damage deletion does. Legacypac (talk) 05:52, 27 January 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Comment. By no means are all redirects are incorrect by definition. An ((R with possibilities)), ((R from other spelling)) (as opposed to ((R from incorrect spelling))), many ((R to section))s, ((R to list entry))s, ((R from short name))s and so on are correct; we can imagine in a printed encyclopedia they would have head entries with "see at X" or some such.

As the article on YWCA says, they no longer use the old long name. They stopped long before the WOD awards were started in Canada.

I was wondering if this would make sense as a redirect to Wikipedia:WikiProject Utah, and then discovered that project is currently using WP:UTA, which surprised me. We have UT = University of Texas at Austin, and UTA = Utah. It's backwards. The former target (see previous RfD) is no longer valid, it was merged into a different project several years ago.

• Disambiguate. See Wikipedia:Wikipedia abbreviations § Table of two-letter redirects. A dozen or so of these are disambiguations (e.g. WP:AA, WP:CU, WP:MD, WP:WS) and, given the history, this should become one of them, for the benefit of old and archived links. In September 2013, I added a hatnote on Wikipedia:WikiProject University of Texas at Austin. If the University of Texas project is inactive, then there's no primary topic any more. This was the original shortcut for Wikipedia utilities, the forerunner of project namespace, before there was a Wikipedia: namespace. Through a series of moves and merges, the oldest history of Wikipedia utilities is now at Wikipedia:Topical index (which redirects to Wikipedia:Editor's index to Wikipedia), so that should be included in the disambiguation, as well as Wikipedia utilities (which redirects to Wikipedia:Project namespace) as the "main page" for the namespace that developed from the original WP:UT.

  • Comment. Is that true? I realise this is subjective, but I worked in materials science for several years and can't recall ever hearing of a material being called "a super hard" on it own (in the way we may call the cue ball in snooker just "the white" and not "the white ball"), or a superconducting material a "superconductor"). I'm inclined to think this is confusing, but my gsearch seems to suggest the term is more commonly used to describe an erection, and while WP:NOTCENSORED the term is not at that target and I feel a retarget there could be an unwanted WP:SURPRISE; but then, retargeting it to the current target is perhaps a surprise for those wanting information about erections . Si Trew (talk) 05:07, 2 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• From the few university courses I did in materials engineering, "superhard" is certainly a descriptor for materials exceeding a certain hardness (the article defines it), and within the context of the course we did refer to them as "superhards" at times. That might be overly specific context, but I think probably safe. As for your Google search, internet results for things which may be pornographic terms are often very badly skewed toward the pornographic use rather than the real picture, so I would tend to discount that finding. Besides, in that context, "super hard" is entirely subjective. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:40, 2 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Keep. While "super hard" can sometimes be idiomatic for "very difficult", it is a term of art in materials science.

I'm not an expert on this van. Do these redirects all make sense? They all target the same subsection of the article. Legacypac (talk) 18:45, 1 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This may be the "exception that proves the rule". These vehicles were indeed known by a variety of names around the world. The plural ones are a bit silly, I could see zapping those, but the singular ones are pretty much accurate. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:18, 1 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Keep everything from Volkswagen T2b Kombi and up as valid synonyms (per Beeblebrox), delete the rest as unnecessary pluralizations which pollute search results. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 19:54, 1 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • See RFD#KEEP 7. Redirects for pluralization are not merely allowed but often encouraged. They do not "pollute" search results. Rossami (talk) 05:15, 2 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • I think you mean WP:RFD#K6, keep 7 refers to something else. I'll give you that one, it is true that we used to recommend that plural redirects should be created. I disagree with that advice as I think it's counterproductive to have 23 slight modification redirects to one topic, but it's community advice nonetheless. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 17:32, 2 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
      • Yes, consensus can change; we also used to have advice for adding ((R from other capitalization))s, and I think there's still advice for adding ((R to diacritics)) (which doesn't seem necessary any more, although I don't know what collation order WP uses for its search). I can see the point in adding redirects for plurals that don't form in the basic +s or +es way (e.g. Greek or Latin plurals) but, ad abserdem, it would mean having a redirect for every article title that is a common noun. Perhaps we should start a thread (at [[Talk:Redirect))?) about deciding if this is still consensus. Not to delete existing ones, but not to encourage creation of new ones. Si Trew (talk) 04:27, 3 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
        • Not a bad idea. Might be a good idea to have that discussion at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) so that folks with more insight on the workings of the search engine can see it and weigh in. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 16:08, 3 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
      • My error. I did mean #K6. Apparently I need to get my glasses checked. I don't think it's appropriate to change that advice, however. It has nothing to do with search and everything to do with capturing the links created by editors who don't know that you can link with word-fragments (like a trailing s) outside the brackets. Letting those links turn red frustrates new users and results in the creation of unnecessary duplicate articles. Rossami (talk) 05:51, 4 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete both. In the latter part of the discussion, it has been shown that the double error of *ammunitions → munitions → weapon is so much that it is not in the best interest of the reader to keep these redirects. Deryck C. 14:56, 9 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

These were speedy deleted as part of the Neelix cleanup, but now restored at the request of an editor. Sending for full discussion at RfD They are grammatically incorrect to start with. Legacypac (talk) 22:34, 24 January 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Strong keep. As I pointed out in the request to which Legacypac refers, these are plausible misreadings of phrases like "Illegal possession of munitions", which is a recognized, contemporary criminal offense. (See, e.g., [2], [3], [4].) "Munitions" is a less common word than "ammunition", and the misuse is quite plausible. It's one thing to scour Neelix's hordes of synonyms for "hooters" from Wikipedia; it's quite another to indiscriminately remove anything he might have written without properly checking its appropriateness.

• keep both - no policy-compliant rationale for deletion has been presented. "They are grammatically incorrect to start with." is not a justification; many redirects are from typos, grammatical errors etc. and that is just fine. Redirects are cheap and are there to help readers find the information they are seeking. Plausible search terms. WP:RFD#HARMFUl describes our policy.

Ammunition is not equal to weapon. Legacypac (talk) 03:39, 25 January 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Delete per nom. See also Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 November 25#Ammunition possession. I see the argument that this could be a mistake for "munitions", but note that Munitions possession, Possession of munitions, Unlawful possession of munitions, and Illegal possession of munitions are all red, which suggests that this is not a problem. Ammunition isn't discussed at the target article at all. Are there laws about possession of ammunition? I don't know; despite what these redirects promise, Wikipedia doesn't have the answer for me, or for any of our readers. Please think of them first. --BDD (talk) 16:23, 1 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Delete per nom and BDD. Besides all the technical errors, these are also factually incorrect, as ammunitions /= weapons. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 18:30, 1 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Delete per BDD's points. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 18:42, 1 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Weak delete as WP:RFD#D2 confusing, "ammunition" not being at the target.

Ammunition can be considered as a weapon in some jurisdictions, just as can, say, a projectile such as an egg: but then we don't have Illegal possession of an egg. Whether something is a weapon is often a question of criminal intent (e.g. is a knife a weapon?), and a question put to the jury; it's not the possession but the (intended) use that makes it a weapon (and we don't have Criminal use of an egg either).

I think the previous argument was largely about sending the more-general "possession" to the more-specific "criminal possession"; not about sending a more-specific weapon to a more-general one. It's better to split those two arguments out. Si Trew (talk) 05:15, 2 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Christmas market is closer. That article currently implies that all such markets are transient - a statement that I think is not true but will have to research before correcting. Either way, it's less bad than the "economics of" page. But even the "economics of" page is better than a redlink. Rossami (talk) 05:35, 25 January 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Comment: I believe these were created as variations of "Christmas shopping" which also redirects there. I don't think the current target is "bad," you'd learn about Christmas shops there, though it's certainly not perfect.

Interesting history on Christmas shopping: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Christmas_shopping&action=history Neelix targeted that page to Economics of Christmas too at I believe the same time, which gives me no confidence that it is a good precedent for these two.

• Comment these are all quite rare or coined compound words that mostly seem to have poorly defined meanings. When writers use them they are talking about the intersection between technology and society in some context and feel the need to roll out a fancy word. I got a whole bunch of the worst (like 8 google hits) deleted at CSD. Given the speed of creation and non-existence of some of the terms I'm sure he simply pulled them all from his butt with no research. Therefore please don't use the targets of some of these words to justify how others should be targeted - let's start from the assumption they are all wrong until proven correct.

Ha! Wow! I can't believe I forgot about the earlier RfD ... it's only me, it's not my mind, that is confusing things.

• Weak keepstruck Si Trew (talk) 04:46, 3 February 2016 (UTC), that's where Occasionally also goes; the previous RfD actually resulted in it being retargeted from User:Notecardforfree's suggestion. Although I'm mindful of WP:NOTDIC, I could see this being being DABbed, with Occasional Oratorio, Occasional table, Occasional poetry, Occasional song, Occasional day and so on. But that is doing little more than the search already does. Perhaps we should expand the existing target DAB?

Si Trew, see this. Steel1943 (talk) 05:30, 4 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm aware that ((Wiktionary redirect)) includes a WP link search, but that is one click farther than without the redirect at all. At some point we do have to just say "Wikipedia is not a dictionary", disappointing though it may be to some readers.

For naive readers who expect WP to be a dictionary, it is I guess more surprising that for some words WP has this "suggest Wiktionary" and for others it doesn't (i.e. "just" brings up search results). Those readers could well not be aware that the behaviour was coded for each individual word-form (i.e. as a soft redirect). What could be nice, maybe, is if it were automatic for WP to include wikt search results for exact matches, in the same style as ((wikt)), at the top of the search results. (A bit like how some search engines do sponsored links – prominent but not in-yer-face). But that would need a change to the search front end, I guess: something for the village pump maybe. Si Trew (talk) 19:53, 4 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

A fair question for VPP maybe. If we did decide that Wiktionary redirects are useful, it would likely be a simple thing to program a bot to create them for every word in the dictionary which doesn't have an article already. For an example, see this Twitter bot which tweeted every word in the English language over the course of seven years, or this one (possibly NSFW) which is tweeting one particular word in front of every other one. But would that be beneficial? Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 20:54, 4 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I agree with the Twinkle failure but should every lawsuit that Disney is hit with have a redirect? Especially a lawsuit that was just filed. Google searches for "disney collusion" do not yield anything tangible. This is a redirect in lieu of an article based on a 24 hour news cycle.

I think this reasoning can apply for a lot of language redirects of this form, but they do have to be taken one-by-one because not all have a DAB page like this one.
