It is wrong in three ways; there is no thal, nor tal at the end, and written rather Urseren than Ursern nowadays. ZH8000 (talk) 21:14, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. ~ Amory (utc) 20:30, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is not plausible to use the word "hurriedness" to describe any of the entries at the target page. -- Tavix (talk) 21:54, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If that's the only reason to keep it, it can be a Wiktionary redirect to wikt:hurriedness. However, it does not seem to be a word that is commonly looked up. Besides, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. -- Tavix (talk) 02:54, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to wikt:'Murica. (non-admin closure) feminist (talk) 11:29, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

This redirect targeting where it does goes against the result at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 August 6#'Murica. The consensus at that discussion was to retarget the redirect to a page that no longer exists; thus, this redirect was eventually deleted per WP:G8 since its target was deleted. However, about a month after the redirect was deleted, it was recreated to target its current page. Either way, I don't see how its current target is helpful to our readers. With that being said, since this redirect is not eligible for WP:G4 (as I interpret it), and since the retargeting option in the previous discussion has since been deleted, either retarget to Wiktionary:'Murica or delete. Steel1943 (talk) 17:17, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, there are plenty of redirects to Wiktionary, they are created with ((Wiktionary redirect)). You can see the list at Category:Redirects to Wiktionary. -- Tavix (talk) 17:38, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not only it is an unlikely spelling error, "Snopp" is also a derogatory term in Swedish, and the target of this redirect has been in hot waters in Sweden according to this news source. ««« SOME GADGET GEEK »»» (talk) 14:52, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Imani Williams

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 keep. At least until an article is created. ~ Amory (utc) 21:26, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is an interesting one. Williams meets WP:MUSICBIO#C2, having had two hit singles. I distinctly remember her first hit Say You Do being marketed as a Sigma-Sigala release, and so despite it being a bigger hit, I'd say Williams is about as well known for Say You Do as she is Don't Need No Money, and so a redirect to either would be inappropriate. I say we delete this redirect to encourage article creation. Launchballer 13:57, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why does it need to be deleted to encourage article creation? I think most people who would be willing to create an article for the singer know how to edit a redirect. I redirected this article to the song because it's her debut single and talks about her in the first line. At least she's mentioned. It's like saying we could delete a redirect for a song because it doesn't have an article and we could point it to either the album it's from or the artist's page where it's mentioned. Ss112 14:02, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, my memory really is failing. It's DJ Fresh-Sigala, not Sigma-Sigala. My point is that as she's equally as well known for both, a redirect to one of them would be undue.--Launchballer 14:06, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see how a guideline about undue weight in articles applies to where a redirect points. WP:UNDUE is a more specific point of WP:NPOV, which is about unbiased writing, not about avoiding pointing a redirect to a specific page lest it give undue weight to said page. It's her first release as a primary artist, and she's named on that article. She is merely a featured artist on "Say You Do". Ss112 15:06, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I would argue that although Don't Need No Money was her hit as a primary artist, Say You Do was a far bigger hit, and so I'd say she was known as well for one as she was the other; certainly she got about the same amount of coverage for each. (Having re-read WP:UNDUE, I think the bit in the "Balancing aspects" section, that "an article … should strive to treat each aspect with a weight proportional to its treatment in the body of reliable, published material on the subject" really ought to apply to the redirect in this instance - especially given that per WP:MUSICBIO#C2 there really ought to be an article there.)--Launchballer 15:18, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That point is only talking about content within articles themselves. "Ought to" apply doesn't mean it does apply to where redirects point. Seems like a bit of a stretch, but we'll see how others feel. Ss112 15:25, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Double Gate

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 disambiguate. I've done so at Double gate, where I have redirected this as well as Double-gates, which has the added benefit of making use of two Neelix redirects. Please edit at your mercy. If someone can figure them out, Tamworth, Staffordshire (target of Two Gates) and Shafton (target of Shafton Two Gates) could end up there. ~ Amory (utc) 22:51, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Double Gate is too confusing for specific gate. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 19:48, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is the term used on Southern Wall where the linking is coming from. If you think that may be confusing, you should look into the references and discuss it on that page. Tomdo08 (talk) 19:57, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
PS: ... also defined as such on the target side of the links: Huldah Gates Tomdo08 (talk) 20:05, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguate with what? Tomdo08 (talk) 03:01, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
'Double Gate' is not the same as 'doublegate'. 'Double Gate' is a distinguished term, it should never redirect to a term written differently. Instead 'Double Gate' (or in this case 'Huldah Gates') could have a Template:Redirect. Tomdo08 (talk) 03:16, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Apart from that: 'doublegate' in electronics normally is not used alone, it's used as attribute. Tomdo08 (talk) 03:23, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nicastrese

The result of the discussion was retarget to Nicastro. While this isn't the place to rename pages, a little discussion is always illuminating. ~ Amory (utc) 23:00, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Nicastro; Nicastrese is a generic adjective meaning 'of/from/pertaining to Nicastro', and is not some kind of neologism pertaining to a goat breed. Nicastrese history is rich, though we say little about it yet. Just googling around, I see that there are: a dance (and music accompanying it) called the tarantello Nicastrese, possibly a viable topic; a Nicastrese hot pepper (peperone Nicastrese or peperoncino piccante Nicastrese among other names) which may be a viable topic, too; various other culinary terms; historical Nicastrese costume (which you can buy on eBay); a Nicastrese Women's Society of St. Anthony of Padua that even has a branch in New York; and so on. Because references in English are often about the goat or its cheese (which might be a viable topic of its own), use ((redirect|Nicastrese|the goat breed|Nicastrese goat)).  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  07:51, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Er, oppose. Move the article back to this title (and please don't ask me why McCandlish thought it needed to be moved in the first place). We don't disambiguate things that don't need to be disambiguated; if we had a page on the Tarantella Nicastrese (NB spelling) it would be at that title, the peperoncino (which is the same thing as the "peperone", a small hot Capsicum annuum often stuffed and preserved in oil) would be at Peperoncino Nicastrese, and so on. The goat is the only candidate for this title at the moment. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:42, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Execept we wouldn't, per WP:USEENGLISH; we'd have Nicastrese pepper and Nicastrese tarantello (or tarantella – sources vary on the spelling); see Category:Chili peppers, and Category:Dances (and subcats thereof).  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  07:19, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was restore. A WP:BLAR was objected to, so restoring the article is the natural next step. If deletion of the article is still desired, that can be hashed out at WP:AFD. -- Tavix (talk) 22:31, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of them at the target article, which has been cleaned of unsourced/non-notable entries over a period of many years. Can't find any reliable sources that would justify expansion of the redirect into a standalone article. Sitush (talk) 04:46, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How about we add the basic info from these two classes of Jats and Rajput who belong to this clan at least. There are Hindu Thathals in Jammu who are Jats majority of muslim are Jats along with a few Rajputs. § — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.39.142.147 (talk) 23:39, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand what you are suggesting, sorry. However, if a clan is not notable then it isn't notable. That doesn't mean the article cannot be recreated if things change in the future. - Sitush (talk) 10:50, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No sources, no mention. We should not redirect an unsourced something to an article that does not mention them. And a redirect cannot go to AfD. Yes, the article has been around for years and it has never been reliably sourced. People have had plenty of time to fix that. - Sitush (talk) 14:14, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's sort of mentioned at that target, but if the lack of a proper mention is a concern, then the "lite" alternative to restoring and sending to AfD will be to restore without sending to AfD. – Uanfala (talk) 02:47, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If by "sort of mentioned" you are referring to its entry in a navbox at the bottom of the Jats of Azad Kashmir then that is no mention at all, is it? The box exists so people can navigate to valid articles, not to validate the existence of articles. - Sitush (talk) 15:03, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thank you for the invitation, but I'm not interested, and I'm not an inclusionist. Although I do take some of the blame for wasting everyone's time: I should have simply closed this discussion and reopened it as an AfD. – Uanfala (talk) 17:17, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete without prejudice against creation of a new topical index at this title. Deryck C. 13:59, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion. Alpha Epsilon Pi is not the only Jewish Fraternity. Tau Delta Phi and Sigma Alpha Mu come from similarly Jewish backgrounds and are now non-sectarian. Perhaps one day it will go to a page on the history of Jewish Fraternities and Sororities, but I don't think the current redirect is appropriate Naraht (talk) 16:02, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

While this area does appear in the game, it is an overly vague redirect considering that there is a Chozo ruin in many Metroid games, including an entire level that takes place within them in Metroid Zero Mission.

Redirect is too vague and broad. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 05:48, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There's also Eye protection which covers googles, helmets and visors. Or Visor in general. All those can help protect the eyes and face from intense heat and light, and of course physical impact. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 23:53, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
