Erdoğan

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 Snow close as retarget to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. I've added a hatnote at the target. I note that Erdogan was and remains targeted there. (non-admin closure) by Si Trew (talk) 04:25, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Until this month, this redirect targeted Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. That is because he is the primary topic of the name “Erdoğan”, though one editor disagrees. I propose retargeting back to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Gorobay (talk) 22:56, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I am not aware of any Erdogan more notable than president Erdogan, and if you can name one that immediately changes my mind completely. Tazerdadog (talk) 07:20, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 17:48, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rather pointless redirect, Anyone wanting to know the character would just search "Dot Cotton" or they'd search "EastEnders characters" where List of EastEnders characters pops up so you can't go wrong, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 21:59, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree the other link makes far more sense, If it's of any help we could always have this deleted and I could create Dot Cotton (EastEnders), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 22:15, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Don't see any need to create that link, that would just be another ((R from unnecessary disambiguation)). Si Trew (talk) 07:41, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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 Fly To Your Heart(Selena Gomez song) and retarget the other two to Tinker Bell (film)#Soundtrack. -- Tavix (talk) 15:18, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure. This is a bit weird. Fly to Your Heart is a a redirect to Tinker Bell (film)#Soundtrack where Gomez is linked. It is odd, then, to have this redirect go to a different place – and indeed not to a section but just to the person themselves, kinda self-disambiguating. I can't put my finger on it, but essentially this is WP:SURPRISEing as being the same, transitively, as ssaying "Selena Gomez (Selena Gomez song)", or is it just me that has the mental jar with this one?

Centum Investment

The result of the discussion was keep. --BDD (talk) 17:37, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not a Neelix redirect. This is on the list at User:Anomie/Neelix_list/4#Section 25 but is not a Neelix redirect, it is an ((R from page move)) to Centum Investments on 8 June 2016 by User:Fsmatovu. I'd already moved [[:]] to there on 18 May 2016, according to my edit summary at Centum Investments, but that's not in the Co Ltd redirect's history, which has one entry that it was created on 23 June 2016 by User:Zotezangu. None of these has Neelix' thumbprint on them so I am going to remove it from the Neelix list, but I am at a bit of a loss to what's gone on here, as we've lost any sensible history. I guess things have been deleted and recreated at the same titles? Si Trew (talk) 10:59, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'd also like to know what exactly happened here. If there are a lot of non-Neelix redirects polluting the list, then we have a problem. Tazerdadog (talk) 12:14, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There won't be many. They're just quite likely to be related to me in some way if there are any, just because I've probably trogged through the Anomie lists more than most other editors have. Si Trew (talk) 12:26, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a question of whether it's a Neelix redirect; I've taken it off that list, but still, it is an odd redirect since it's unclear to me that the company is called Centum Investment beyond a WP:PRIMARYSOURCE. I presume, User:Fsmatovu, you intend to fix the following sentence that calls it Centum Investments Company Limited, as I pointed out above? It can't be both. Si Trew (talk) 21:41, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am confused. In your redirect from Centum Investment Company Limited to Centum Investment, you said "We don't put the official status of companies after their names at WP. WP:COMPANY I think)". So we must avoid calling the company by its correct name. Is that what we are trying to do here? As a compromise, I propose we call it Centum Investment Company. Is that acceptable? Fsmatovu (talk) 22:32, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, that would be worse. It really depends on whether "Company" or "Company Limited" is part of its WP:COMMONNAME. WP:COMPANY has little to do with it, it's the title of the page we're talking about, not what it's called within the article. I'm really not that het up about it, to be honest, but there terminology should be consistent within the article: and so it's not surprising it keeps getting moved around until that is settled. By all means we can have redirects for ((R from other name)), ((R from former name)), ((R from official name)), but within the article the naming should be consistent (with, of course, its full legal title somewhere, e.g. in the WP:FIRSTSENTENCE, but use the common name thereafter).

Herbs of spiritual potency

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 "Herbs of spiritual potency" and "Magic fungi", keep "Divine fungi". --BDD (talk) 17:33, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(neelix redirects) I have taken many others such as Divine mushrooms speedily kept and rcatted as ((R from other name)), ((R to section)) and where appropriate ((R from plural)): all are well documented in the section. However these plurals are not documented and I think are pushing it a bit far. Obviously as English plurals these are fine, but it's a push to form the English plurals from singular translations of Chinese names; there's nothing really wrong with them except someone might reasonably sarch for "Herb of spiritual potency" if they have read that somewhere, but it is rather unlikely they will search for "Herbs of spiritual potency". Weakly delete all. Stats 0 or 1 in thirty days, well below noise level; no internal links for any except this discussion and the Neelix list. Si Trew (talk) 10:03, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Things like Divine mushroom are individually referenced at the target, and I am AGF assuming those are RS. So, I think it's reasonable (if unnecessary) to have plurals for those RS entries. e.g. the one for Divine Mushroom:
Hu, Shiu-ying (2006), Food plants of China, Chinese University Press.
It's still pushing it a bit, I agree, to pluralise it, but we might as well work from the outside in and decide if the more egregious plurals should be deleted, first. Si Trew (talk) 12:27, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm, and Psychoactive fungus and Psychoactive fungi go to Mushroom#Mushroom#Psychoactive mushrooms, although not marked as ((R to section)) (until I do them right now). At (User:Anomie/Neelix_list/4#Section 13). Si Trew (talk) 21:26, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Historian of life

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 17:28, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2016_May_29#Life_historian, nominated by me, where the consensus was to take Life historian to Life history (sociology). I did not at that time list these other variations (probably just forgot), all are/were Neelix redirects, and I imagine should be speedily retargeted the same way: I am not quite confident enough to do so boldly, especially for the "Historian(s) of life". Regulars User:Patar knight and User:CoffeeWithMarkets contributed to the previous discussion; I did not, beyond nominating, I probably got distracted. Si Trew (talk) 09:12, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We have loads of these "X of Y" Neelix creations (or should I say "creations of Neelix"), , as if we were French, instead of the "Y X". It's both correct and common in English to have a noun act as a modifier of another noun, and in doing so it comes before the main noun: we don't have to reverse the natural English word order and stick an "of" in the middle. Sometimes we do, of course: cream of tartar, Bank of Scotland (but Midland Bank, Ulster Bank), but it doesn't mean we have to invent these for every compound noun. Nobody would call "life assurance" the "assurance of life". Si Trew (talk) 21:34, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Retarget to Lunge (non-admin closure) Pppery 19:30, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(neelix redirect). I think this can be 'Deleted as WP:XY as it could go either to the existing target, Lung (i.e. something that has lungs is lunged), or as ((R from verb)) to Lunge, a DAB. Not sure enough to be bold about it, though. We don't have lunged animal or anything I could find like that, but I'm no biologist. Si Trew (talk) 08:16, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'd retarget to lunge, as lunge_d seems much more common to me than lung_ed. I've never heard an animal described as lung_ed, but lunge_d is a reasonably common term. Tazerdadog (talk) 09:09, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There's no evidence that any of the people at the disambiguation were known as "Bobi" or "Bobbie". -- Tavix (talk) 03:32, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As with the prev. nomination, Bobbi is a feminine spelling, not a masculine one, and there's no indication that any of the Robert Healys are nicknamed even "Bobby". Clarityfiend (talk) 02:45, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • That's fine by me. My, my, my. There sure were more of those critters in the woodwork. (Bobi?) Clarityfiend (talk) 12:50, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Although not listed [as of this writing] among the entries at the Robert Healy disambiguation page, Bobby Healy (video game developer) should be eligible for listing as a WP:DABLINK from the List of ZX Spectrum games in the same manner as the redlinked Bob Healey (boxer) is DABLINKed from the Percy Vear article at the Robert Healey disambiguation page. The parenthetical qualifiers for the specific Bobby Healy and Bob Healey may be considered as placeholders so that the names "Bobby" and "Bob" can serve as redirects to the Robert dab pages, but, if their biographical entries were to be created, each would be the sole "Bobby" and "Bob" upon his respective dab page. The other solution in regard to their current appearance, would be to list these two names with a brief description, but without redlinks or qualifiers and allow their respective blue links to serve as guides. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 07:59, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
My feelings remain the same when applied to all of these. I support the idea that we delete every single one. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 03:41, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sentence logic

The result of the discussion was no consensus. --BDD (talk) 17:25, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence in the article that propositional calculus is called sentence logic; the WP:FIRSTSENTENCE says it is called sentential logic (which I have marked as ((R from other name)) as part of my rambling contribution to the discussion at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2016_September_20#Sentential). We do not have proposition calculus or proposition logic. Added for completeness as the result of this will probably fall out of the result of that more-general discussion. Si Trew (talk) 13:19, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Recommending to delete one redirect to create another just puts you out of the frying pan, into the fire. See Fowler (Modern English Usage), 2nd edition preferably. Si Trew (talk) 20:29, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sentential logic is certainly that, but sentence logic is not. "Sentential logic" is a specific term that may go to Formal grammar or to Sentence (linguistics) or be better deleted so that readers have a chance to decide for themselves (per WP:XY). Sentential logic is not just the logic of sentences. Si Trew (talk) 19:07, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
