The result of the discussion was delete. There's a split of opinion between outright deletion and retargeting to semantic wiki or DBPedia, but nobody wants to keep the redirect as it is. Default to delete. Deryck C. 13:20, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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

Originally, this was a cross-namespace redirect to Wikipedia:Semantic Wikipedia. I wouldn't recommend going back to that, but this concept isn't discussed at the Wikipedia article either. I suggest this be deleted or retargeted to DBpedia, which is essentially a Semantic Web version of Wikipedia (I'd still recommend it be tagged with ((R from incorrect name)), though). --BDD (talk) 17:36, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to DBpedia per BDD. Having this as a cross-namespace redirect is inappropriate because it gives the impression that Semantic Wikipedia is a real thing that passed our inclusion test, when actually I don't see that it was ever a thing at all. DBpedia is pretty close, and describes what a reader searching for this is likely interested in. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 19:46, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to DBpedia per above. Rubbish computer 15:53, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as is not the same thing as DBpedia. Rubbish computer 16:01, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to Semantic wiki, which also discusses Semantic MediaWiki, Wikidata and DBpedia. Reach Out to the Truth 00:05, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's probably a better solution. A red link may still be best to avoid giving the impression that "Semantic Wikipedia" is really a thing, but I'll allow that many readers may not distinguish between Wikipedia and wikis generally. --BDD (talk) 13:57, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete. There isn't a "Semantic Wikipedia", so any retarget would give the wrong idea. I see the value in retargeting, but I just feel like it implies something "official" when there's not. (As an aside, I originally read it as "Semitic Wikipedia" and got confused for a brief moment.) -- Tavix ^(talk) 05:42, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: My !vote is still weak, but it looks like TheChampionMan accidentally struck my "weak" in addition to his, and it was left there for a bit of time. Just leaving this note to clear up any confusion. -- Tavix ^(talk) 18:40, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• retarget to Semantic wiki per Reach Out to the Truth. Confusing and conflating "wiki" and "Wikipedia" is very common among those who are not Wikipedians. Thryduulf (talk) 11:14, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete for now, any target is, at its best, confusing and/or ambiguous, especially to readers who want information on something specific that does not exist. - TheChampionMan1234 02:29, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - There isn't a specific thing called the "Semantic Wikipedia", and the kinds of redirects that are being proposed I think would confuse people. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 08:43, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's no such list at the target article; it would probably violate WP:NOTWIKIA. See also the batch of deleted redirects at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 August 12#List of Digimon. --BDD (talk) 23:17, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Events of 1807-08 → Ottoman coups of 1807–08  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

These redirects are misleading since they can give the reader the impression that the target article is the only event that happened in 1807 or 1808. Also, these redirects have no valid target unless 1807 and 1808 are merged, and given the structure of year-event articles, that makes no sense. Steel1943 (talk) 23:17, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom --Lenticel ^(talk) 00:26, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete this is not the Ottoman Wikipedia, these aren't the only events from that time -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 06:23, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. These redirects get *lots* of traffic, most likely from the various internal links that are all correct. We could change them to point to the correct target and come back in six months and see what the stats are like then, but they are unlikely to be zero (mirrors, archived versions, etc, etc). The Ottoman coups are the most notable events that spanned only these two years based on my research, so the best thing to do is to add a hatnote at the top of the current target linking to 1807 and 1808 articles.

This is a follow-up to Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 August 12#Wikipedia:HOWTO. This redirect doesn't fit the new disambiguation page at Wikipedia:How-to, and its current target isn't exactly an index of how-tos, though it functions separately.

• Comment I really expected to find something about flame colours or similar, but red hot isn't really quite right and content about colour is scattered throughout the Flame and Fire articles, so I haven't found a good target. The only link is intended to lead to an article about a 2014 wildfire in Humboldt County, California that we don't appear to have content about (no idea about whether we should or not), but that is not enough to account for the traffic this redirects gets.

• Paperboy → Newspaper delivery  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The redirect from "Paperboy" to Newspaper delivery is a bit narrow; especially since the article on Newspaper delivery only hints to Paperboy (video game) as an alternative. Instead, I think it would be better when a search for Paperboy would lead to the Paperboy (disambiguation) page, which also lists a bunch of movies, books and artists associated with the term, so I'd like to bring that issue up for discussion. Rh73 (talk) 12:33, 19 August 2015 (UTC) Comment I didn't mean to imply that there is controversy and the need for lengthy discussion, in case I am supposed to interpret the notion of WP:SNOW as a wink that creating a discussion wasn't necessary in the first place. I'm fairly new and didn't know what's the standard/preferred way to improve this redirect myself, and assumed this might be the next best way to have more experienced editors have a look at it (since redirects don't have talk pages on their own).

Republic of Ireland and United Kingdom (disambiguation) – Arbitrary break[edit]

Delete. Republic of Ireland and United Kingdom redirects to Ireland–United Kingdom relations, where there is a hatnote specifying the only other usage of that term: "For archipelago, see British Isles". Because the redirect includes unambiguous names for the states, it can only refer to either Ireland–United Kingdom relations or British Isles. The other entries listed at Great Britain and Ireland are not helpful. There are 42 other redirects that should be deleted for the same reason (they all unambiguously refer to the states). I have listed these here: User:Rob984/dis. Rob984 (talk) 12:21, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete all. The pages all seem to have been created as a result of this discussion in 2013. The issue appears to have been resolved, so the redirects are no longer necessary or useful. Scolaire (talk) 15:15, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all per WP:XY; despite Ireland–United Kingdom relations being a possible target, all of these pages have (disambiguation) in the name, and I find it unlikely that anyone will ever type that out. Whatever the original issue was, the hatnotes seem to be dealing with this adequately now such that disambiguation is unnecessary. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 17:06, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: I have added all of the redirects listed at User:Rob984/dis to this discussion. However, Rob984, in your opening statement, you stated that 42 other redirects were listed on that page, but 1 of the 42 on that list was the original redirect you nominated, Republic of Ireland and United Kingdom (disambiguation). Is there a 43rd redirect you would like to nominate? Steel1943 (talk) 21:51, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've collapsed the list for easier reading. Thryduulf (talk) 22:32, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• I undid that since encapsulating the nominations in "collapse" tags breaks the functionality of the section redirects in the redirects' RFD templates, as well as the edit notices that will be posted after this discussion is closed. (This issue is why I created the "Arbitrary break" section header; I agree, the amount of nominations causes readability issues, but the fix shouldn't break section redirects' functionality.)

Nope; thanks for adding them all. Rob984 (talk) 23:18, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it is fallacious to assume that "(disambiguation)" will be "typed in". It is quite possible for such an extension to be generated automatically, either by an external source or a template. Secondly the WP:pipe trick may well mean that someone types "…various meanings of "[[Republic of Ireland and Great Britain (disambiguation)|]]"… to give …various meanings of "Republic of Ireland and Great Britain"… All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 17:49, 24 August 2015 (UTC).[reply]

Additional note it is standard procedure for every non-disambiguated disambiguation page to have a disambiguated redirect. This way deliberate targeting of the non-disambiguated disambiguation page can simply be moved to the disambiguated redirect to avoid having to repeatedly check for unresolved disambiguation in articles. The same principle applies here, although there is a convoluted alternative available. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 17:57, 24 August 2015 (UTC).[reply]

The "various meanings" of "Republic of Ireland and Great Britain" are only Ireland–United Kingdom relations and British Isles, as this includes the name of a state so cannot refer to the islands of Great Britain and Ireland. The primary topic for "Republic of Ireland and Great Britain" is Ireland–United Kingdom relations, while British Isles is the only other use, covered by a disambiguation note at the primary topic. Any redirect to a disambiguation page—Great Britain and Ireland (disambiguation) or otherwise—is pointless as the only other use is already provided at the primary topic.

"it is standard procedure for every non-disambiguated disambiguation page to have a disambiguated redirect"

Correct, but the non-disambiguated disambiguation page is not related to these disambiguated redirects. Disambiguation is covered adequately at the primary topic. What is the point in redirecting to a disambiguation page—especially one with irrlevent entries—when disambiguation is already adequately dealt with at the primary topic?

Rob984 (talk) 18:19, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom, whose rationale seems very uncomplicated to me. These are malplaced (disambiguation) qualifiers because those same titles without the qualifier redirect to the relations article. The hatnote there implies only one other target, so there's no need for a disambiugation using these specific terms. (As an aside, the disambiguation is fine because the specific pairing of "Great Britain and Ireland" can mean more than those two things, and thus doesn't redirect to the relations article). -- Tavix ^(talk) 18:24, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
