March 27

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on March 27, 2017.

Confederate States Air Force

• Confederate States Air Force → Commemorative Air Force  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

No evidence that "states" was ever in the name. Unlikely search term, apparently stems from a hoax. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 19:58, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

First aerial victory by the U.S. military

• First aerial victory by the U.S. military → Stephen W. Thompson#First aerial victory  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 
• First Aerial Victory By the US Military → Stephen W. Thompson#First aerial victory  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Not really enough for a redirect, and kind of an implausible search. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 16:13, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• The title would lead me to expect an article about an event (i.e., an air battle won by the US) rather than an individual. Indeed, that seems to have been the author's intent when the first of these was established as a stub. I looked at United States Army Air Corps for any battle that was identified thus, but the article focuses more on organization rather than combat history. Aviation in World War I is more comprehensive, but suggests the US was a relatively minor player. I'll post a notification at WT:MILHIST about this. --BDD (talk) 17:15, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. I think the title is actually a rather plausible search term in general, and the current target is relevant if probably not quite what the searcher is looking for. The History of the United States Air Force and articles about the USAF's predecessors don't help at all and a Google search isn't turning up anything really relevant either. If we don't have a better target I'm not going to object to keep this as is, as it's OK but hopefully we can do better. Thryduulf (talk) 00:42, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agie

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

"Agie" and "Agha" are not the same word. Agha is a disambiguation page, so the current setup could be considered misleading/confusing. Steel1943 (talk) 21:54, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. The redirect originally targeted Agha (Ottoman Empire), whose version at the time did mention agie. – Uanfala (talk) 22:05, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to 'Aggie', itself a disambiguation page, since a great number of individuals are known as "Aggie _____" and this is easily misheard to be "Agie _____". The connection to 'Agha' seems tenuous at best to me. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 03:30, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to Aggie per Coffee and as a plausible typo. Tazerdadog (talk) 02:01, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mankri

• Mankri → Bulandshahr district  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

It's a spelling mistake, and even the correct spelling doesn't seem to be in the target article. SorryToDeleteYou (talk) 21:09, 15 March 2017 (UTC) Actually I don't know if it should be here or at articles for deletion because it used to be an article but not a very good one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SorryToDeleteYou (talk • contribs) 21:11, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, not mentioned at target. Sending the district article to AFD would be a different process. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 05:42, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to 'List of Burmese monarchs' since books discussing the history of Burma state that Mankri or 'Man-kri' has been a title referring to the ruling king. See here and here. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 15:05, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• What is the correct spelling, SorryToDeleteYou? – Uanfala (talk) 11:09, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Amtrak acs64 622

• Amtrak acs64 622 → Amtrak  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Implausible redirect, we don't have redirects for every individual run of the mill locomotive. Was created as a vandalistic "stub" and then redirected. — Train2104 (t • c) 17:55, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Twenty One Pilots (album)(redirects)

• Twenty One Pilots (album)(redirects) → Twenty One Pilots (album)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Senseless - looks like an attempt to avoid something Peter Rehse (talk) 07:49, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Context: [1]. – Uanfala (talk) 07:56, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. It looks like this was a temporary title used while performing a complicated history merge and might now be unneeded but I'm unsure. Hopefully Anthony Appleyard can enlighten us. Certainly this should not be deleted until they have had the opportunity to comment. Thryduulf (talk) 10:23, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• @Peter Rehse, Thryduulf, and Uanfala: Twenty One Pilots (album)(redirects) can be deleted. When I moved Twenty One Pilots (album by Twenty One Pilots) to Twenty One Pilots (album), I first had to move Twenty One Pilots (album)'s old edits (several redirects and a blanking) aside to somewhere, as I do not trust letting a deleted WP:Parallel history sit under a visible article. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:14, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

X(wrestler)

• Diamanté(wrestler) → Diamanté (wrestler)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
• Gino(wrestler) → Gino (wrestler)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
• Hyan(wrestler) → Hyan (wrestler)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
• Ortiz(wrestler) → Ortiz (wrestler)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
• Santana(wrestler) → Santana (pro wrestler)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

WP:RDAB. Content resided at all of these, which are r from moves, for less than a week. — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 06:58, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy keep temporarily. While the content was only at these titles for a short time, we need to allow much longer than a day for users, mirrors, etc, to catch up to the new title. With working redirects in place this can happen quicker than when they are being discussed, so I think they will be best speedy kept and then renominated after about a couple of months (so we can see if the original titles are still getting traffic without influence from RfD). I expect they will be deleted at that point, but it's too soon now. Thryduulf (talk) 10:28, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hussein Obama

• Hussein Obama → Barack Obama  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Should this be retargetd to Family_of_Barack_Obama#Hussein_Onyango_Obama? I don't see why it is tagged with ((R from non-neutral name)), though. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 03:51, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget its targeted that way either because some rightwingers in the States liked referring to Obama by his full name to imply he is Muslim, and the template was added in 2017, the person likely didn't realize it was his father, not the full name. I prefer retargeting since there is a section of another article that contains the information. TonyBallioni (talk) 13:52, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Subclude

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

An odd portmanteau of substitute and transclude, not referred to (linked or not) anywhere in project space. — Train2104 (t • c) 00:48, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete seems like an unlikely cross-namespace redirect. TonyBallioni (talk) 13:53, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian

• Hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian → wiktionary:hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Does not serve any purpose, lacks content, and context. ThatGirlTayler (talk) 00:14, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - @ThatGirlTayler: It does serve a purpose, that is, it leads readers to our search engine and a page containing its definition at wiktionary. The page contains a shortcut of ((wiktionary redirect)), so it doesn't lack content (i.e. it is not blank). The text of the template provides context. That aside, the intended candidates for soft redirects are topics with a less-than-encyclopedic scope that are commonly wikified words or that are repeatedly recreated. This meets neither of those bars, but redirects are cheap, and it leads readers to the information they are seeking. — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 06:47, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as it meets the criterion of reader use for wiktionary redirects (You might wonder why users search for such monstrous hippopotamic foot-and-a-half-long words, but they do: the redirect receives over a hundred views per month). Whether there is a suitable wikipedia article to redirect to instead, I'm not sure – but Verbosity and Autological word come close, and either of them could be expanded with a mention of the term. – Uanfala (talk) 07:41, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Uanfala. Thryduulf (talk) 10:29, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to Sesquipedalian.

Damn them, those words that are are

Sesquipedalian:

Seven-feet horses I urge you to miss:

Seven Metre (poetry)#Foot in a metre

is hardly completer,

but stuck on a horse,

there is something amiss.
