This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on May 25, 2024.
EMBO journal & reports
XY redirect. The subject is The EMBO Journal or EMBO Reports, not both. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 22:07, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I want to say delete, as what little content this page previously had is reflected in the current, separate articles, and the old references are broken links to the Nature website. However, I vaguely remember there being licensing reasons to keep old page histories for attribution. Retarget to European Molecular Biology Organization#Conferences and journals may be the way to go if that's right. ― Synpath 04:02, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- There's nothing in that redirect's history that was ported over the other articles. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 05:19, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
HD resolution
The aspect ratio is not itself "HD", this is misleading and confusing. I'm not sure where this redirect should lead, maybe High-definition television? Leaving that up to people with a better understanding of the area than me. Rusalkii (talk) 21:21, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak retarget to 720p, as I'd say that would be the most precise target for "HD resolution", and HD resolution by itself most commonly refers to 720p / 1280x720, the first resolution considered "HD". I would probably also add a hatnote at the top of the article saying something like "HD resolution redirects here. For the broader topic, see High-definition video." for if readers want to know more about other resolutions that are considered 'HD' / have 'HD' in the name. Otherwise, other ideas I have are High-definition video (a broader topic than High-definition television), or convert to a disambiguation page that includes all three aforementioned topics. Note: I've also added the alternative capitalisation redirect Hd resolution to the nomination. — AP 499D25 (talk) 13:29, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Same-sex marriage in Tenerife
Tenerife not mentioned in target. No reason to believe it is different from the rest of Spain. Rusalkii (talk) 21:11, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, for... exactly the reason you say to get rid of it, actually. If there's no reason to believe it's different from the rest of Spain, then someone looking for information on same-sex marriage in this city would be served well by being redirected to the article about the rest of Spain.

- Keep per Lunamann. Doesn't have great pageviews but I see no harm. 〜 Askarion ✉ 12:09, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. It does not help the reader to show that a page exists for Tenerife but have no information about it. Jay 💬 12:59, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Lunamann. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 13:51, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Same-sex marriage in Aland
Alad not mentioned in target, I can't see any reason why it should be called out or why someone would expect same-sex marriage in Aland to be governed by different rules than the rest of Finland. Rusalkii (talk) 21:09, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change
Lyric from the song not mentioned in target. Rusalkii (talk) 20:34, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:13, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. it's almost a valid ((R from lyric)), however it's THEY wanting to make a world a better place. If anyone wants to make If they wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and then make a change, I wouldn't object to it. mwwv converse∫edits 20:15, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect from a move to Scottish Westminster constituencies 2005 to 2024; this preceding title was an obvious mistake. Ham II (talk) 14:13, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: "Toggle the table of contents" is obviously a copy-paste error. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 14:22, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete as G6: "Deleting pages unambiguously created in error or in the incorrect namespace, or redirects created by moving away from a title that was obviously unintended." as it existed at the mistaken name for less than a minute just a few days ago. (!voting here since I'm not a huge fan of tagging RFDs with speedy tags unless it's for a good reason). Skynxnex (talk) 14:24, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tagore (name) (disambiguation)
Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:
With the lengthy list of name-holders now moved from Tagore (disambiguation) to Tagore (name), this doubly-disambiguated redirect should be deleted as confusing. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:03, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Gastrosexual
Not mentioned. Retarget to wikt:gastrosexual if there's no mention anywhere else. --MikutoH talk! 04:51, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Soft redirect Gastrosexual to wikt, and delete Gastrosexuality. Not mentioned anywhere in enwiki. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 15:50, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Gastrosexuality existed as its own page before, though the correct term is gastrosexual because it's named in reference to lifestyles like lumbersexual, spornosexual, retrosexual, cosmosexual, frustrosexual, megasexual, ubersexual, ultrasexual, macrosexual, cinesexual, machosexual, and many others. --MikutoH talk! 19:27, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Argyle station (Ontario)
There's no indication of why this redirects here Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:24, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Doctors (Doctor Who)
Propose a disambiguation: While the episode was planned to be named "The Doctors," the redirect could potentially also mean any multi-Doctor episode due to its vague naming. I feel a disambiguation would clear up confusion with this redirect. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 02:11, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Boston Incident
This isn't commonly referred to as "Boston incident"; searching the term finds little about the massacre compared to other incidents (such as the 2007 Boston Mooninite panic). In the cases where the massacre is referred to with this term, it's only in a descriptive fashion and not as an actual name. Redirect was created by a quickly-reverted WP:POINTy page move in 2006.

- Delete one would think the Boston Tea Party or Battle of Bunker Hill would be better -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 03:08, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep - although it seems ambiguous (my first thought was the Boston Marathon bombing) the article on the Boston Massacre notes in the lede that the event is also known as the "Incident on King Street"; "Boston incident" is a plausible misremembering. It's a more neutral title anyway, the article also notes in the lede that calling it a "massacre" was American patriot propaganda. As far as I can tell, the other events listed here aren't widely known as named "incidents". If deleted then don't disambiguate, search results would handle this better. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:27, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2023-24 Major Clubs Limited Over Tournament
Delete to encourage article creation, consistent with 2022–23 Major Clubs Limited Over Tournament. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:02, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: Pretty common for these types of redirects to exist and there's nothing stopping someone from starting an article. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:35, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Hey man im josh and the clear fact that this is a future rdr to a title with en-dash(es), like the 2023-24 FA Cup. By the way, the redlinked title the nominator brought up is to me what happens when info on this exist(s) at that/the time and is/are not documented here with sourcing. Just like the 2023–24 Ghana FA Cup, 2023–24 Samartex F.C. season and the 2024 Absa Cup articles which I'll create soon. Intrisit (talk) 19:41, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete There is no information on the 2023–24 competition, so this is misleading and bound to disappoint readers. --BDD (talk) 23:45, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Iranian nuclear scientist killed
the redirect is way too specific, and seems almost like a search engine query. Gaismagorm (talk) 20:26, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ambisexual
Since @Smasongarrison: commented in my talk page, ambisexual(ity) and bisexual(ity) are synonyms and it should be retargeted there, along with the others which are translations from Greek and Esperanto. --MikutoH talk! 00:50, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Support in principle, but these should all be retargeted to bisexuality or an existing page, not a other redirects.Mason (talk) 00:54, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- That's what I meant. Retarget to bisexuality. Also just listed ambisexual. --MikutoH talk! 23:43, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Battle of Muscle Shoals
Muscle Shoals, Alabama is mentioned at target, but a battle there is not described. This does not seem to be a term in use. There is evidence for a skirmish at Mussel (sic) Shoals on October 30, 1864 1, but there is no content on enwiki about it and no evidence it is referred to as "Battle of Muscle Shoals". Delete to encourage article creation if notable and avoid confusion/astonishment. Mdewman6 (talk) 00:39, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Intersex man
Shouldn't they have equivalent targets (Intersex man to Man#Sexuality and gender xor Intersex woman to Intersex) {xor meaning exclusive or}. --MikutoH talk! 00:06, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Retarget both to Intersex for consistency and as the more precise topic than Man/Woman, especially since there isn't an equivalent Man#Intersex man anchor. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 15:09, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
