Bumfuck

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 trainwreck, default to delete all since the consensus is that the current target is inappropriate, but different outcomes have been proposed for the various titles. @Nowak Kowalski, Largoplazo, Godsy, and Arms & Hearts: If you feel strongly about any of these titles, you're welcome to create a new redirect or soft redirect at any of these titles as you see fit. Deryck C. 09:38, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This, ugh, does not seem to be the primary topic for that term. Nowak Kowalski (talk) 21:58, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

no affinity to Arabic, recently created AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:13, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, didn't see that. Withdrawing as it's related to Pakistan for sure. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:24, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Freddy Mercurie

The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) feminist (talk) 16:38, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No affinity to French, unlikely misspelling, recently created. I could understand Freddy Mercury since Mercury is spelled with Y, but Mercurie is not a likely spelling, and if it were, it would be IE on both words. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:46, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's still two typos away from the correct name, per WP:RTYPO this is not likely. Searcher would either go with all Y's or all IE's. And by typing "Freddy Merc" in, they should get the right one in the suggested search spellings. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:56, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"Two typos" would be something like Greddie Nercury where someone hit two different off-by-one keys. As LargoPlazo points out, this is basically a single misspelling (swapping two phonetically equivalent parts of the name). 59.149.124.29 (talk) 01:02, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As Nasir has already been released, the title "Upcoming Nas album" no longer makes sense. — Newslinger talk 14:22, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 00:17, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Textbook examples of redirects that shouldn't be created per WP:RFOREIGN: a user typing an Arabic phrase meaning "sex videos" will be taken to our relevant article and hence that user might assume that they can search in a similar way for other topics. All of these redirects appear to have been created because they were popular as search queries (and hence appeared in Wikipedia:Most-missed articles and the like). – Uanfala (talk) 15:21, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting for more input as even though the five-year-old discussion ended as no consensus, a number of these still have significant viewership (as might be expected given their prurient nature) and the closer explicitly mentioned an exception to WP:FORRED. I'd like a bit more discussion on those topics before proceeding to overturn.

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 retarget to Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Reasons for deletion and keep, respectively. Those wanting to preserve the status quo aren't wrong, inasmuch as we can have situations like this just based on how different redirects were developed, but a majority of editors here made a persuasive argument why that shouldn't be the case here. --BDD (talk) 14:26, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

These two projectspace shortcuts are only subtly different. Having them point to two different targets is apt to cause confusion. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 11:23, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cinnamon stix

The result of the discussion was no consensus. Not seeing any general agreement or consensus on an outcome. Between keep and disambiguation maybe this leans toward "having content," but there's no real agreement. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 01:34, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This strikes me as a useless redirect. Some of you are experts on the subject matter--please have a look at the user's other creations, including Taking a poop. Drmies (talk) 17:37, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation is fine. I've put in the entries for the stick, the breadstick, and the song. My guess is that they used Stix to distinguish the bread stick from the actual stick AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:09, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's still a bit shaky. The breadsticks entry fails MOS:DABMENTION. --BDD (talk) 14:31, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's in the article: "In many North American restaurants, breadsticks are frequently topped with butter, garlic, and cheese when served as appetizers; as a dessert item, they can be topped with cinnamon sugar and icing" AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:38, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Some good arguments but I'm not convinced by any of them or see a general consensus yet. Let's give another relist.

BDD, Home Lander, Arms & Hearts is dab okay now or would still prefer keep/delete? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:17, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't seen a source for the breadsticks entry, and I think that WP:DABMENTION should probably read as requiring the phrase be mentioned somewhere in the article, rather than just a description of something with no indication that it's known by this name (which is what Breadstick currently contains). I'd prefer a disambiguation page to deletion, but at present I still think keeping it at the current target (with a hatnote for the song, I suppose) is preferable to either of those options. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 16:54, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You mean like [1] [2] [3] Auntie Anne's Cinnamon Sugar Stix (bread stick with cinnamon coat) [4] Cinnabon Stix [5]? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:29, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If kept, then redirects here is in order, and hatnotes need to go to breadsticks and to the song. Most use of "stix" in general search refer to the breadstick brands rather than the stick itself. Same in book searches. [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:47, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Some of those links seem to refer to breadsticks, though none of the first six links use the word "bread" in relation to the product in question, and others confuse things almost as much as they clarify: 1,000 Low-Calorie Recipes contains a dish called "Cinnamon Stix with Maple Crème" that it describes as a version of French toast, while Brand Eating has a photo that looks more like cheese straws or some sort of doughnut product (cf. File:Yumyums-Plate.png) than breadsticks. It seems that the phrase refers to a few different bread-based products in a stick shape, including but not limited to breadsticks in the sense defined in our article on the subject. So, all in all I'm still unconvinced – there's a relation, but it's a tenuous one and not obviously much stronger than the relation to other notable foodstuffs; in combination with the fact that the phrase isn't mentioned in the breadstick article I'm still inclined to favour keeping this pointing to the current target. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 18:45, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I declined speedy for this since the Wiktionary redirect template has a purpose. This is a very unlikely title to search for on Wikipedia, however, therefore nominating for deletion. Tóraí (talk) 22:12, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 02:34, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect targets Reporters (TV series), but that article makes no mention of "This Week" being an alternate title for this TV program. In addition, This Week (BBC TV series) also exists, and that would seem to be the "correct" target for this redirect. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 06:19, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to List of colors: A-F#D. There is a clear consensus to retarget this, but where to is less clear. There were objections to everything other than the list, and the mention there appears to have been added after some commenters expressed their views and meets at least most of the things they were looking for.

Delete. This redirect has been listed for deletion before, closed with no consensus. Now the redirect goal is gone, unlikely to come back, and there is no obvious good replacement; note that List of countries by future population (United Nations, medium fertility variant) does not even contain a prediction for the year 2025. In seven years, this redirect will be obsolete anyway. Florian Blaschke (talk) 02:40, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
