Comment – I vaguely recall that there was once an article that linked to that "page", so I created the redirect to resolve it. It appears to be obsolete now. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 22:51, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As a verb (and in this context), bone and "debone" are synonymous. Perhaps a bit like flammable/inflammable. --BDD (talk) 15:47, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Courtyard by Marriott – Downtown Detroit

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was delete all. The consensus below is that these redirects have become obsolete because these hotels are no longer discussed specifically anywhere on Wikipedia. Deryck C. 18:28, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Until January 2014, the Courtyard by Marriott article had some very run-of-the-mill information on a few particular locations. It's rightfully been removed, including the target sections, making these specific locations unhelpful as redirects. I question their likelihood as search terms anyway, except among readers who completely misunderstand Wikipedia's purpose (cf. WP:NOTTRAVEL). --BDD (talk) 19:41, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, but WP:NOTTRAVEL starts "Wikipedia articles should not..." (my emphasis). Says nothing about the titles of redirects, only articles. I have been bashing on about WP:TITLE applying to redirects "except when it doesn't" by which I mean that if it is an ((R from misspelling)), patently it is misspelled but doesn't mean it should be a French misspelling, if it is ((R from adjective)), obviously it is not a WP:NOUN, but that doesn't allow it to be simultaneously a Greek slang plural from common name (unless it has, or could have, those tags too). I think I was wandering towards this in an aside with you yourself and with Ivanvector saying much the same thing, but even worsely put than this stab at it that I am having now. Si Trew (talk) 20:03, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You're right, but the problem was indeed with the (target) article. When individual hotels were discussed at the article, the redirects had utility. But precisely because NOTTRAVEL proscribes such content, it shouldn't go back. That keeps these redirects perpetually confusing and unhelpful. --BDD (talk) 20:15, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'll take the title argument to talk, when I have a chance (still doing the London Bus Rs...) but as it is you're right too that these secs are useless: no, my mistake, harmful: Someone searching on this term would expect specific information on it, and winds up disappointed.

These terms are made up by Neelix, or at best Urban Dictionary junk. Only a man can be cuckold, so the women variations are even more implausible. Legacypac (talk) 12:38, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm delighted we have an article for cuckquean (but not cuckqueen), so we can take the female ones there if need be. Just an edjumacated guess from other weird formations I have seen lately (those swallows flying north, for example). Si Trew (talk) 17:48, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like Neelix made this up roughly from the meaning of the target's name. There has to be other meanings to it Legacypac (talk) 12:33, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

See Talk:Cerberus#Etymology. A common pattern in Neelix redirects is to take part of an etymology out of context and assume it is a WP:DICDEF. But even if it were, it would be an, erm, WP:DICDEF. cf. The dictionary definition of Κέρβερος at Wiktionary where he is a spotty dog (not a spotted dog nor Spot the dog). I've fixed Κέρβερος to say it is an R from grc (Ancient Greek), not el (modern Greek). Si Trew (talk) 14:37, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
IF this was a one off I could believe that he got it from somewhere other then his head, but as pointed out above it is a distinct pattern of reorganization of meanings into nonsensical redirects. Another pattern is rearranging long names of people and cutting off the first name to make a redirect from Middle + Last Name. Definate patterns Legacypac (talk) 21:16, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I am starting to make out not one but several patterns (taking synonyms from nouns as if there were no other meanings for those synonyms; adding suffixes and prefixes aplenty; taking parts of etymologies as if they were dictionary definitions in their own right: and even if they were, would be WP:DICDEF). But it's irrelevant what you believe, and WP:NPA please, no personal attacks. I really don't think Neelix intended to do harm (and I strain at that when my maxims for living are don't hit, don't lie, don't cheat, but at least I made them for me, and weren't handed them to me by anyone) but tonight I have been struggling with my schoolboy Latin, prepubescent Spanish, and nonexistent English, besides Greek ruins. But this one in particular must, then, be a coincidence; I found it at
  • Who's Who in Classical Mythology (PDF). p. 100. ker berethrou ("evil of the pit", (see 'Ker, berethron, 'pit' is the Epic and Ionic form of barathron)
(My underline.) Paul has found it in an index for Robert Graves' The Greek Myths as ker berethrou (the -ou vs -n is just a tense change, "of the" as Ionic or something else tense, it's the same word as the -os nominative). I translated a little Spanish which shows that some think it may be used (as "Demon") in Sumerian or Ancient Egyptian stuff. Sometimes I am not as green as I am cabbage looking: some of these predate Neelix' insert here. Most likely, it was at Cerberus, but has since been amended, but has become feral and now the whole Interweb quotes Wikipedia (usually without any kind of CC-SA, or even a mench, we just get the shit and jokes for being "wrong" or "inaccurate", as if every newspaper and every dull comedian who can't think of material doesn't make Wikipedia the fifth most visited site in the world).
Therefore I say Strong delete. Si Trew (talk) 21:37, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A translated Hebrew phrase is not a good redirect. This is the meaning of the name, but it likely the meaning of many other names in other languages. Legacypac (talk) 11:22, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak retarget to Honour thy father and thy mother; it's a stretch but it's what I thought of first.I also assumed that Abiram was the just another way of writing Abraham (Ibrahim, etc), though (and not of course the same person as Abraham, who at WP gets top billing); but I am no religious scholar. Si Trew (talk) 18:50, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Deep in Abraham we find the claim that a possible name meaning is Father is exhaulted. If that claim were stronger, and if we are in the business of targeting meanings to Hebrew names, the famous guy would be a better target then the two guys no one has heard of.

Naval of Sicily

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 17:09, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The word is Italian for naval but he directed it to a city with the mixed language nickname "Ombelico" of Sicily. I'm not convinced the nickname of a town in Italy is a good target for an Italian word. I found [1] L'Ombelico del Mondo which is 1/2 way across the island n the coast not the interior, and another reason to delete. Legacypac (talk) 11:18, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  1. For "Naval of Sicily", the target does mention the godess Demeter's grove, the Latin: umbilicus siciliae, but not an English translation for it.
  2. For "Ombilico", we have umbilicus mundi, which would be the Latin equivalent of [l']"ombelico del mondo" , but that goes → omphalos which is Greek language and Greek place.
I toyed with the idea that "naval" might just refer to an historical Sicilian navy, since mariners tend to prefer a littoral setting over one in the interior: but it seems not; the wars mentioned at the target make no reference to a Sicilian navy (or any other navy) specifically. Si Trew (talk)
Ombilico = umbilical as in cord, or the belly button. Legacypac (talk) 12:47, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm aware of that, but "naval" does not mean belly-button, a navel, it means "of, or relating to, a navy". Navel of Sicily is red. Si Trew (talk) singing Rule, Brittania! 19:03, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I couldn't find any. Lots of wars around the target, indeed it was a target, but no Sicilian navy as such. Perhaps they mistakenly had the Navy in the interior... never a good place for a navy... put 'em next to a bit of water, first rule of admiralty. Si Trew (talk) 21:19, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The creator forgot the most important redirect Unisexyistnessly Legacypac (talk) 12:00, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed the I stands for Implausibility. I do Y/Z confusion all the time as I use both QWERTY and QWERTZ. I also have I think the only surname in the world that is sequence in the QWERTZ and QWERTY sequences so I can type it on one hand leaving the other one spare for, er, a cup of tea.

Wood-block print

The result of the discussion was conform to similar redirects to woodblock printing. Deryck C. 19:31, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak retarget to Woodblock printing, like Woodblock print and derivations. I would normally just boldly do this, but we have open discussions on #Japanese wood-block printings (below), so that would be unwise. User:Johnbod changed it back in 2006 with this edit. So it's been around unmolested for a long while, but perhaps we need to consider whether some of the Japanese ones should go to woodcut likewise. Si Trew (talk) 09:52, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

But then surely it is odd that Wood-block printing goes to a different target? It did go to Woodcut from 2004 to 2013, but was then retargeted to Woodblock printing. I imagine some of the Japanese ones will go as "not particularly Japanese", but we should kinda know if some are technically incorrect, even if we end up keeping them as ((R from incorrect name)). I'm not worried particularly about this redirect, but thought it worth bringing it up in the hope of reducing confusion (rather than adding to it, as I seem to have done).
The difference, written, is slight and kinda like WP:DIFFCAPS; spoken, is nil (or perhaps emphasis/stress?) Si Trew (talk) 10:42, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it is messy, that's my point. I've edited Woodblock print twice, changing my mind, but not being Neelix, never thought about the other. This isn't at all like WP:DIFFCAPS - there is no difference in meaning or pronunciation - don't let's confuse things more than we need to. Nearly all specialist sources will use "woodblock", but I think many less specialized will use "wood-block", and it would be going too far to call it incorrect. That's why we have redirects. Johnbod (talk) 10:50, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I meant it's like it in the sense it's a very subtle distinction (and one that is missed by the search engine, without some help). Si Trew (talk) 11:09, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not even that - it's just a different spelling. Johnbod (talk) 13:12, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, that's exactly what it's not, as far as I understood your explanation. If they were just different spellings, the two would have the same target. Si Trew (talk) 15:28, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, they are, and should have the same target (as I say above), but at present the two spellings were set up by different people; imo "woodcut" is best. Johnbod (talk) 16:25, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
could be best. Johnbod (talk) 17:58, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Different ways to arrange the guy's name that are invented by Neelix. Like many others we have gone delete on. Legacypac (talk) 08:19, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A gsearch for "Franz Heinrich Ahrens" bringsup genealogy sites for a chap born in 1891, presumably not notable. "Franz Ludolf Ahrens" brings up only WP mirrors. So Delete the two starting "Franz" as WP:RFD#D2 confusing. "Heinrich Ludolf Ahrens" and "Ludolf Ahrens" both bring up book search results for Latin: De Graecae Linguae Dialectis ("On Greek-language dialects"), and that work is listed at the target, so Keep those two as WP:RFD#K3 likely search term, ((R from incomplete name)).
I don't know (yet) whether "Ludolf" is part of his surname; I'll checking other-language WPs in case that clears it up. We could perhaps add a ((confused|Heinrich Ahrens)), who is someone different but contemporary (philosopher 1808–1874 vs. philologer 1809–1881). Si Trew (talk) 10:23, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. From the authority controls and the Russian WP, which conveniently has "surnames, first names" as its article title format for bios, it seems demonstrable that his surname was just "Ahrens" (cf. eg. David Lloyd George). Interestingly (or not), German and Italian articles don't mention "Franz" at all; Russian and Portuguese do. LoC also lists in the Latin form as "Ahrens, Franciscus Henricus Ludolfus". Si Trew (talk) 11:48, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Ludolf Ahrens, it's ludicrous if that is his (second) middle name to have it as a title; Keep Heinrich Ludolf Ahrens as (very) likely search term, WP:RFD#K3. Si Trew (talk) 15:21, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's not necessary or advisable to speedy these anyway, we're just jamming the queue. There are enough admins paying attention to this that WP:SNOW deletes will be as expedient as they need be.

Comment. Coal gas (← town gas) and liquefied petroleum gas (← LPG cooking gas) too. Basically, any gaseous hydrocarbon (which article doesn't meantion cooking or anything related). I couldn't find a good target either. Si Trew (talk) 05:38, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'll support that, if you're volunteering. You forgot LPG. Si Trew (talk) 06:52, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Don't try cooking with that, you'll blow yourself up! Johnbod (talk) 07:24, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah, not delivered by pipeline is what I meant. It's also possible to do that conversion in reverse on a propane appliance, if natural gas service is available. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 17:14, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
When North Sea gas came into the UK in the 1970s, they just changed the burners on the top of the stoves, cos natural gas was about twice the calorific value of town gas. Saved having to change the meters etc, they just doubled the cost of a British Thermal Unit (according to the meter) and knocked down the output when it mattered. (And of course, had to change if the meter couldn't cope with the higher pressure). Si Trew (talk) 17:31, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
FYI propane is delivered in pipes just like natural gas in some towns that lack access to the natural gas distribution system. For example [3] Legacypac (talk) 22:13, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
WP:JUSTDOIT then. The normal way is for someone to do a Draft:Cooking gas or put it similar under the R. I will do that, but as a DAB, cos I can't be bothered to look up whatg should and should not be in a set index, and someone else can do the work to knock it into that (perhaps 70.51.... :) ) Si Trew (talk) 16:59, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

These redirects imply details on that respective season, but there's nothing of note at the article save for a list of league champions. Someone searching for a specific season would end up disappointed by getting nothing but a general overview of the league. Delete per WP:R#D2. -- Tavix (talk) 02:59, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. These seem to have become R's as a result of a merge decision at a deletion discussion here (March 2015). Two real uses, in articles Tony Bono and Richard Benigno. Si Trew (talk) 06:59, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for double checking the links. They have been fixed now. Also, the decision was redirect, not merge. -- Tavix (talk) 15:41, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It was, but actually nobody !voted for a retarget; they !voted for a merge. One way or another a redirect would have popped out, so it's not that important. Si Trew (talk) 15:02, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking of some amalgam of Cloud cuckoo land and Mickey mouse money ( → Japanese government-issued Philippine peso, perhaps a bit specifically), but it doesn't seem to be used in that kind of "imaginary" sense. Si Trew (talk) 15:06, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Come to think of it, and I know this is a bit off-topic, should the target Japanese government-issued Philippine peso have a ((redirect)) hatnote to Disney dollar? Si Trew (talk) 15:08, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any value to redirects that differ only by a period or comma? Note there are other redirects with extended versions of the name too. Legacypac (talk) 02:15, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The theoretical problem is that it create a maintenance headache if the target is moved; also a reader headache if two things that read as if they are distinct entities are in fact the same one. (This tends to happen most with titled people, it seems.) I doubt it would be a practical problem here. Si Trew (talk) 15:14, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
