• Zythology → Beer  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This word means "study of beer and beer brewing". So, this is probably a good WP:REDLINK candidate, besides the fact that the word is not mentioned in the target article. Either that, or I would imagine that there is probably a retargetting option for this redirect, but I cannot find one at the moment. Steel1943 (talk) 18:44, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I honestly don't remember creating this redirect, but it links to a directly related topic. If the study of beer doesn't have it's own article, it seems logical that it should link to beer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrewman327 (talk • contribs) 19:15, 14 August 2015‎ (UTC)[reply]

• That's just the thing; the destination is about the study of the destination and not the destination's subject itself. Compare to Animal vs. Zoology, Cooking vs. Culinary arts, etc. Steel1943 (talk) 20:40, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In the absence of a specific article, a redirect to the broader topic is appropriate. Andrew³²⁷ 21:04, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete as WP:RFD#D2 confusing: not at target. "Zyth" is nearer Middle English to "said", "saith", "sayeth", and nothing to do with beer, which has a long history in both Germanic and Latinate languages of being called, er, beer (German: bier, Italian: birra, French: bière, et cetera ad nauseam: the odd one out is Spanish: cerveza). WP:FORRED. Although it looks like it might be Ancient greek language, isn't: I blow my zither at this. Si Trew (talk) 21:25, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SimonTrew: It is Greek. Check out wikt:zythology. -- Tavix ^(talk) 21:38, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• In re Tavix. I'm not convinced of that. The last word in am English concise dictionary is usually zymurgy -> zymology and I presume we get enzyme somewhere along the way. To nobody's surprise, that is the study of brewing (particularly beer yeasts -> yeast): but Ancient Greek: zyt- would come after that. It is not as if it were written zeta (letter) epsilon (letter) (or upsilon (letter)) theta (letter). I still feel it is a bad transliteration. Even by your own argument, it is WP:NOTDIC if there is no mention at target, and that one must search Wiktionary for it. Beerology is red, youll be glad to know. Si Trew (talk) 21:52, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the source that the Wiktionary entry uses. -- Tavix ^(talk) 22:14, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm aware of that. My dictionaries are all at the new place, unfortuinately, so I can't check it in print. (Except a big Collins-Robert French, which hasn't it, with very few entries for Z and the last finishing at Zulu.) I understand that Macmillan says from Ancient Greek zythos 'beer', and logos study.

But wouldn't this be better then as a soft redirect to Wiktionary? Zythos is a DAB to several lepidopterae, moths particularly, and no entries for beer. That's the quandary. Although I wonder how someone can name something the "obliterated moth" Zythos obliterata, and things like that, I like to imagine some chap with an enormous butterfly net or perhaps a great big pair of boots, stamping around obliterating them, but unfair on old Z. o., all the same. None of the entries I looked up from that DAB has an ((ety)) from Greek or indeed any, unfortunately. Si Trew (talk)

My gsearch for me brings up mainly the study of beer, notably (or rather not: here at Anheuser-Busch's website where it has a pseudo definition.) Since Anheuser-Busch thinks that they can make a beer from rice, as if it were a sake , – which lovers of a bottle such as me know that technically whatever its lede says, is usually translated as Rice wine but the distinction usually is that it is not a wine but a beer because it comes from grain alcohol -> ethanol, not [[fruit alcohol].

– I will not take AB's definition as a WP:RS let alone that even were I, it would be a WP:PRIMARYSOURCE. Si Trew (talk) 23:38, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Sweet nectar → Beer  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I thought that this was another name for mead. But, either way, I am unable to find any reference associating this term with beer, mead, or any other specific topic. The only topics I am finding on search engines are non-notable restaurants. Steel1943 (talk) 18:00, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - It looks like the most common usage of the term is for either in association with a business in New England or a business in the U.S. southeast. As well, someone could very well just be looking for the general article on 'nectar'. It seems that the best thing is just to keep the text in red.

• Delete, really it's a tautology since (flowers') nectar is a solution of sucrose and so by definition sweet. WP:CONCISE, WP:XY. Beer is not sweet: well I suppose a few milk stouts are, but by no means is it their defining characteristic, because in a beer the sugar should turn to alcohol (that's kinda the point).

• Cranberry and rasberry juice → Juice  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The title could make the reader believe that they are going to arrive to an article about cranberry juice and raspberry juice mixed, and that is not the case. In fact, such a mix is not even mentioned in the article. Steel1943 (talk) 04:23, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete mixed juice drinks of specific juices should not redirect this way, WP:REDLINK if we need an article on it. Otherwise, it makes no sense. Specific juices, cranberry and raspberry should redirect to the fruit articles respectively. -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 05:37, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. 67.70, Cranberry juice is an article but Raspberry juice is red. Oh, what a palaver! (or perhaps a pal, a guava juice → guava.) We don't seem to be very consistent with these. Orange juice is an article, OJ is rightly a DAB at which it is the first entry. I think you're wrong, then, in the general comment to say that the juice should redirect to the fruit. Lemon juice → Lemon, where as I would more likely R it to citric acid. Citrus fruit juice is red. Lime juice → Lime (fruit). Mango juice → Mango. Taking Ockham's razor, I need not enumerate, but on that small random example many seem to go to the fruit, some to an article specifically about the juse, and some are red.

There are lots of place names in the Fens that have "ea" at the end, many more with "sea" but that's bleeding obvious. Pitsea, Horningsea for example, but lots that have either dropped the S or never had it? old names and I would struggle to think of the etymology, Old English I would guess. But WP:NOTDIC.

However this doesn't really fit the pattern, and I don't know of any place in East Anglia called Saltea. Oddly, gsearching for "Saltea, East Anglia" gives me results in Italian. Si Trew (talk) 08:45, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I thought it was "big" arse/ass, but hmmmm.... I thought it could maybe go via Txtspeak → SMS language, but it's not mentioned there either. List of Internet memes → List of Internet phenomena is no help either. (I imagine Tavix already tried all those.)

My same tooth-grinding applies to #LMMAO above. You would think it would, indeed I seem vaguely to remember that LMAO is recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary now, but that's not WP:RS as they have always described words rather that prescribed them. (DOI: about twenty years ago I used to submit, by post, before the days of email and stuff, slips with entries into the Longman Dictionary of New Words.)

• FOOTL → LOL  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete per WP:R#D8. This acronym isn't mentioned at LOL or anywhere else on Wikipedia. It's supposed to be "Falling out of Tree Laughing" but why would the speaker be in a tree? -- Tavix ^(talk) 00:20, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Changing rationale to retarget to Foot Locker per my conversation with Steel1943 below. -- Tavix ^(talk) 15:50, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Look up Footle in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

• Delete as WP:XY or WP:RFD#D2 confusing. Not being the west side of the pond my search results differ, but even for me the autocomplete search confounds this with Foot Locker: a brand I don't think we have in Europe. Footle in British English slang meens to fiddle about, to tamper (roughly to be a Wikipedian then) and footling thus an adjective for something rather trivial or menial → Domestic worker: as Orwell has it of Chamberlain, a hole in the air, or as I prefer to describe it, an oxygen thief. But it's best left to a dictionary, I think: WP:NOTDIC. Football ( → Association football) and derivatives from other languages (such as Futbol) would seem to be kicking it out of the stands, or as the Americans might say, into the bleachers. (I note we haven't an ((R from plural)) for bleachers, btw.) Si Trew (talk) 13:16, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh we do, I just tagged it as ((R from plural)) (bleachers). It did not come up on a search for me though. Si Trew (talk) 13:24, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Based on my search engine ... Retarget to Foot Locker as a ((R from stock symbol)). (Yeah, it's rather unexpected.) Steel1943 (talk) 14:46, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• @Steel1943: FWIW: The Foot Locker article mentions FL as their stock symbol: NYSE:FL. -- Tavix ^(talk) 14:51, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• @Tavix: I noticed that as well, but I noticed both; some had it listed as "FL", and some listed it as "FOOTL". Steel1943 (talk) 15:01, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be fine with that solution. I don't know enough about finance to figure out why that is, so I'll just leave it at that. -- Tavix ^(talk) 15:12, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Tavix: See this reference. I guess it depends on the country where this company is represented. Steel1943 (talk) 15:45, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That makes more sense than anything else I've seen on the subject. Thanks for the research. -- Tavix ^(talk) 15:50, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Foot Locker.It's probably a dual listing -> Dual-listed company to whack it on the Dam bourse so that they can trade in Europe or Euros without currency exchange fluctuations. I don't think it has a retail presence in Europe but perhaps there might be a few flagship store (-> Flagship#Retailing and I've just rcatted it as ((R to section))). Obviously we should add the dam's stock ticker symbol to the article's lede if we get consensus here for the retarget. Si Trew (talk) 16:32, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I'm going to go ahead and close this since we're all in agreement. I guess someone can always renominate it if there's a different issue. Further discussion on adding the symbol to the article can take place at Talk:Foot Locker. -- Tavix ^(talk) 17:02, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
