• Tylognathus (disambiguation) → Tylognathus  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This redirect claims to be a redirect to a disambiguation page, but its target is not a disambiguation page. Instead its an article about the Obsolete taxon Tylognathus. Since there is no disambiguation page involved, this redirect is inappropriate. HighFlyingFish (talk) 22:17, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy delete per WP:CSD#G6, as is commonly done with this type of redirect. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 00:05, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I withdraw my previous comment. SIAs are an exception and I overlooked this. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 10:20, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Do not speedy delete. This is more complex than it might first appear, as the target page comprises a short explanation/introduction followed by a list of 34 taxa that were formerly placed here, when the redirect was created (by a bot) in 2010 this version of the article was current and was tagged as a disambiguation page. That tag was removed by Tortie tude in 2013 with this edit summarised "unlink invalid names" (Tortie tude's last edit was in 2014). Other than that unlinking and a rephrasing of the introduction, the page is basically the same as it was when labelled as a disambig. Essentially the article is a set index of species that were formerly classified as Tylognathus. There was a big discussion a few months back about whether (disambiguation) redirects pointing to set indicies were a good thing or not, I'm generally in favour of them as (imo) they can aid navigation but not everybody shared my view. I don't recall that this discussion reached consensus, but I can't immediately find it to check. Whether this redirect is useful or not I am uncertain about at the moment (I need to do more investigation when I'm fully awake), but it should not be speedily deleted before people have had the opportunity to opine. Thryduulf (talk) 01:58, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Target is a SIA that is functionally very similar to a DAB. There is no need to punish users who know that Tylognathus referred to more than one thing and search for this term as a result because there is some additional text at the target page.---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 04:24, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Wikipedia has numerous articles about genera. Some like this one Allogalathea are very much like the Tylognathus article: lists of species that belong (or in the case of Tylognathus, belonged) to it, with little context. Others like Epalzeorhynchos are have been expanded to be significantly more informative. Regardless, these are not DAB pages. They are articles about genuses. We wouldn't have redirects like Epalzeorhynchos (disambiguation) for each one. That would make literally millions of needless redirects. Tylognathus is not a DAB page, it is a page about an obsolete genus, listing species that were formerly within that genus. People might search it because they encounter it in an old reference work. I don't think anyone would ever search "Tylognathus (disambiguation)". If anyone has actually made that search please say so. --HighFlyingFish (talk) 15:36, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. While Tylognathus might qualify as a set index, it bears little resemblance to a valid disambiguation page. Redirects to a disambiguation page are created for a single purpose, which is to mark intentional links to a disambiguation page because by definition ALL links to a disambiguation page that are not so marked are mistaken links. Keeping redirects such as this only dilutes this utility and furthers the confusion about the distinction between set index pages and disambiguation pages. older ≠ wiser 16:25, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Tylognathus isn't actually a set index or a disambiguation page (although it was improperly tagged as a dab at one point). It's a low quality article about a genus that isn't currently accepted by taxonomists, with a list of formerly included species. I don't think that articles on non-accepted taxa are generally a good idea; redirects to the accepted taxon are usually more appropriate (which would be Bangana in this case). However, as the Bangana article doesn't account for all of the former Tylognathus species, I support retaining an article for Tylognathus essentially for navigational purposes. Even if it's navigational, that doesn't make it a dab. Plantdrew (talk) 04:42, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Bound Monster → Fenrir  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

There are plenty of monsters in mythology and fiction who are bound in some way. This title started off describing a trope in Norse mythology, of which Fenrir is an example, but it looks like it was original research. The term is ambiguous and a "novel or obscure synonym" at best for Fenrir. --BDD (talk) 20:21, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as vague. Books mostly use it in a general sense like "captured monster" or Bind or Physical restraints. And there isn't a monster called a bound. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:45, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Restore article to this revision. It's not OR, but a very good summary of the two-page entry in Lindow's reference text. If it's perceived as unencyclopedic, then AfD is the way to go. – Uanfala 21:18, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lindow's text: [1] Note that Lindow applies this to multiple characters in Norse Mythology, with Loki being the most famous. It's still in the context of a captured monster, imprisoned monster or chained monster but specific to that they will be freed at the time of Ragnarok.

The only other consistent use Google finds is mentions of an abbreviation for the slang "Where we at?" ("where are we?", "what is the current state of play?"), but any coverage of that is Wiktionary's domain not ours and they don't have entries for wikt:ww@ or wikt:where we at.

The result of the discussion was no consensus. A major question was whether redirects to wikispecies should generally be allowed. This was further brought up at a TfD discussion for the related template, but no consensus emerged in either place. However, there is agreement that such redirects should not be created for non-notable individuals.
Turning to the specific redirect discussed here, the arguments for deletion are 1) it would encourage article creation (per WP:REDLINK) and 2) keeping a redirect to wikispecies would surprise readers. Point #2 is possibly offset by the fact that the wikispecies entry has the same content that a stub article would have, and overall the arguments for deletion are balanced out by the current usefulness of this redirect for navigational purposes.

• Stanley B. Mulaik → species:Stanley B. Mulaik  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Soft redirect to WikiSpecies, which disguises the fact that no article exists in Wiki. Narky Blert (talk) 02:30, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - @Narky Blert: That argument applies equally to all singular specialized soft redirect templates (viz. ((Wiktionary redirect)), ((Wikibooks redirect)), ((Wikiquote redirect)), ((Wikisource redirect)), ((Wikivoyage redirect)), and ((Commons redirect))). Template:Wiktionary redirect, the most prolific of the templates, has ~1300 transclusions. — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 03:32, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. (edit conflict) I recognize this redirect is somewhat novel in Wikipedia, in that it soft-redirects to Wikispeices, although there are several similar to redirects to other sister sites like Redirects to Wikiquote and Redirects to Wiktionary (see for example French proverbs and A leopard cannot change its spots). I also recognize it could create a bad precedent for numerous "pseudo-blue links" linking non-notable or marginally notable taxonomists to their Wikispecies page, and there is not currently consensus on how to handle this. I am fairly neutral in regards to whether this redirect should be deleted, retained, or made into a stub article (plausible claim to notability via obituary and claims therein). --Animalparty! (talk) 03:40, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete to encourage article creation --Lenticel ^(talk) 02:32, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment by nom. @Godsy and Animalparty: ((ill|Notable Naturalist|species|vertical-align=sup)) displays as Notable Naturalist ^[species]. IMO that looks much better. It shows that the Wiki article is missing. The external link shows as a superscript reference. (It's a dead end in my example, but I've tested it in other cases, and it works.) If the article is written, the magic of ((ill)) should collapse the display down to a bluelink. Narky Blert (talk) 18:58, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Narky Blert: Redirects also exist to aid searching (through the local search engine and otherwise), not just for linking within articles. That aside, I disagree that it looks better, and (again) that argument applies to all soft redirects in the mainspace. — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 20:20, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment by nom. @Godsy: I wholeheartedly agree that a broad discussion about soft redirects to Wikispecies could be useful, and would be happy to contribute. Notable Naturalist needs a Wiki article. Grad Student (who described one species, which turned out to be a junior synonym) almost certainly does not, even if they have a Wikispecies article. Narky Blert (talk) 22:20, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The cross-wiki redirect is helpful for someone searching for him. A redlink doesn't help as the only results are for Stanley Mulaik, so someone won't be able to find anything on him that way. However, they will probably get the information they're looking for via WikiSpecies until an article can be created on him in Wikipedia. -- Tavix ^(talk) 20:57, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete to encourage making the article if he's Wikipedia-notable. WikiSpecies may have different standards for notability. Here's an obituary from Deseret News [2] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:08, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Nom here. I opened this discussion to get a debate going. I haven't voted yet, but do so now. Delete, to encourage article creation. Inline redirects to sites like Wiktionary (this is what this word means) or Wikisource (here's the justification for this quote) are one thing. Properly used, they mean that an editor has decided that a topic will never be Wikinotable, and that readers will be best helped by pointing them off site. Hiding a species, or a perhaps notable individual, by an off-site pseudo-bluelink to WikiSpecies gets my goat. It's all about the readers. If something or someone is notable but has no article, that should be flagged by a redlink.

Sidenote: I recall finding one C19 naturalist linked in a Wiki article (as is, unfortunately, not uncommon) by only his surname. It took me a good half hour or so - but eventually I found not only him, but also the single paper he had written, describing just the one species. So: I removed the bad link, added the citation, and posted on the Talk Page saying why I thought he failed WP:BIO. Narky Blert (talk) 00:03, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I'd be fairly SURPRISEd to be thrown to Wikispecies if I clicked on something that wasn't a specific taxon.

• Extremely weak keep. I don't like SURPRISING redirects to Wikispecies at all. But with the existence of an article for Stanley Mulaik, it's better to have something that keeps the arachnologist distinct from the psychologist. There are 77 articles that include the word "Mulaik", almost all of them are spiders. I don't want to see the psychologist getting linked from them when the arachnologist is intended. If there were no articles on any other Stanley Mulaiks, or if there was a surname disambiguation page with some mention of the arachnologist (even if it were a link to Wikispecies), I'd favor deletion.

• Delete: Highly unlikely search term, as it doesn't need to be repeated four times. KGirlTrucker81 ^{huh? what I've been doing} 06:25, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per above. The page history notes this was created via articles for creation, which usually leaves a record of the request somewhere (which can shed light on why it was created) but I can't find anything in this case. Thryduulf (talk) 08:47, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as an unlikely search term. The original proposal is here. Apparently, this was proposed as four separate re-directs, but mistakenly created in the form of a single quadruple-named re-direct. A few hours later, the proposer simply went ahead and created the individual re-directs (i.e., Who wrote the Bible?, etc.). NewYorkActuary (talk) 10:44, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, then this should be a speedy delete for G6 technically created in error. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:07, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

Here's my next batch of "faulty crystal ball" film redirects (and a bonus TV series!). As these years have already passed, it's impossible for these films to be released that year. It's also implausible that someone would type these redirects in the search bar due to the incorrect year disambiguation.
