"Agia Filothei" is in a picture caption in the gallery section at the foot of the article, but otherwise none of these is at the target, hence Delete as WP:RFD#D2 confusing. Created by indefinitely blocked User:Pumpie. Si Trew (talk) 21:53, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:RFD#D2 confusing, not at target (I don't mean just exactly these terms but the subject of them). There are 87 redirects to this target. These were all created by indefinitely blocked User:Pumpie, a confirmed sockpuppet. Si Trew (talk) 21:07, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Interesting, the very first SPI (by User:Cplakidas, "Constantine") at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Pumpie/Archive#25 February 2011 says among other things "same fixation (highly unusual and IMO a dead giveaway) on creating redirects for every conceivable transliteration of a Greek name".

Science of Star Wars

The result of the discussion was restore and retarget, respectively. --BDD (talk) 20:13, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Restore this revision of Science of Star Wars (a disambiguation page) and retarget The Science of Star Wars there. As seen by the history of edits at this redirect, the usage of the word "The" may not be enough to distinguish the titles of the two subjects listed on the old revision of the disambiguation page. Also, when I look up these terms through third-party search engines, I seem to get mixed results for both subjects The Science of Star Wars (book) and Science of Star Wars (miniseries). If confusion of the usage of the word "The" as a distinguisher seems to be vague, having them redirect to specific title matches per WP:NATURALDIS may actually, in fact, cause more confusion as shown here in my nomination. Steel1943 (talk) 21:06, 5 December 2016 (UTC

That's why I put the confusion template. They are not only two distinct topics, but also different titles. Whenever the title of the book is linked it takes them to the distinguisher page, even though the pages linking them mentions that it's a book. This only adds to confusion. As I previously mentioned, it would have been different if they went by the same title, but they don't and the pages linking them mention this. Not only that, but we got brackets added to the titles for clarification, so let's leave it at that.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 23:22, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • That policy was "downgraded" about a year or so ago from a "policy" to a "suggestion". In this case, with my finds listed above, I don't see how the use of "The" is enough to disambiguate the two from each other. Steel1943 (talk) 02:20, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Think of it from a user's perspective. Let's say they enter "Science of Star Wars" into the search box. If the pages are moved back, they land on the miniseries page with a hatnote that reads something like, This page is about the miniseries. For the book, see The Science of Star Wars. This may or may not be the article they were looking for—but it's at least a 50-50 chance—and if it's not, the link is very clear. On the other hand, if the "Science of Star Wars" is a disambiguation page, we're guaranteeing that every user will have to make that extra click. We should be making things easier for visitors, not more difficult. - Eureka Lott 02:34, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I did, considering that there are several cases where I have either debated or supported that very perspective in the past. I think two examples that cross my mind regarding examples I have noticed in the past are The Wall vs. Wall and The Guardian vs. Guardian. The reason I don't see the same easily-recognizable clarity with the example I nominated here is from what I see, I'm not convinced that readers themselves know what subject they are looking for if they include "The" in their search of not. That, and in the examples I provided above, the subject of the "with The" article vs. the subject of the "without The" article are not remotely related to each other. This nomination here is different since both subjects are strongly related to one of the root words/phrases of their titles: Star Wars. Steel1943 (talk) 03:10, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Also, for what it's worth, if consensus doesn't support my proposal, I do agree that the disambiguators should be removed from the article titles per WP:PRECISE. Steel1943 (talk) 03:14, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Aerodrome#Airstrip. -- Tavix (talk) 16:59, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(will combine) I imagine these should all go to the same target, but which? (They were each created by a different editor.) I'd actually favour Aerodrome#Airstrip as it has more info, and is linked from Airport#Terminology, so that's a circular link for the three that link there. Si Trew (talk) 20:35, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. (The first R's section link is ill-formed and doesn't currently work, but Aerodrome#Airstrip does exist under Aerodrome#Types of aerodromes.) Si Trew (talk) 20:44, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Si Trew, I fixed that. Steel1943 (talk) 21:31, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I could have done that, but I thought it might be relevant to the discussion that it was not working as intended, so I left it. I suppose I should have changed it after mentioning it. For the record: it did point to Aerodrome#Types of aerodromes#Airstrip (in any case, the section should be "Types of aerodrome" or simply "Types", not "Types of aerodromes"). Thanks for doing it.

Redirect with two incoming links, to a DAB page with no useful information Propose deletion to encourage article creation. Narky Blert (talk) 16:37, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 20:04, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Several "easteregg" redirects created (inappropriately IMO under WP:R3 and/or WP:R#DELETE) which direct readers to pages only very loosely related to the subjects. Only one of the target articles make mention of the people/subjects that are redirected. And in that single case (as seemingly with the others), we see that it is a clear case of WP:BLP1E. In short, none of these subjects were or are notable for an article, and yet we seem to have created (inappropriate) redirects anyway. Bluntly, just because someone is listed in List of People of the Year Award winners, it doesn't mean that they need an article (or one of these awkward redirects).

WP:G7. I created this redirect months ago, but its an unlikely search term and has no incoming links. --Nevé–selbert 11:09, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The "ё" is U+0451 : CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER IO, not U+00EB : LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH DIAERESIS, so we have an odd mix of alphabets. Albanian alphabet starts "The modern Albanian alphabet is a Latin alphabet". See also Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2016_December_4#Tiranio, where Eubot has then made a ((R from title without diacritics)) from it. Si Trew (talk) 06:53, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Implausible redirect. I know The Grand Tour is presented and produced by the same team that did Top Gear, and it is on Amazon Prime, but I had never heard anyone refer to the show as Top Gear Prime. –Grondemar 04:53, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
