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

Not mentioned in the target or its corresponding article on noWiki or nnWiki, no results in Google Maps. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 22:06, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep given the use of the alternative name Vetlehamar for Lillehammer, as you can see in searches (e.g. [1] and [2]). Mostly used synonymous with Lillehammer (and widly used in Nynorsk texts) from the mid/late 1800s to early/mid 1900s. Part of the Norwegianization of placeames, Lillehammer was supposed to be renamed Vetlehamar in the early 1900s (like Kristiania was to Oslo, Bergen to Bjørgvin, Trondheim to Nidaros, Fredrikshald to Halden, etc. - Some of them didn't happened because of large protests from people). It can be readen about in the different sources from the National Libary of Norway. --Volum-ion (talk) 10:25, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Feynmanium Element 137 → Extended periodic table#Feynmanium and elements above the atomic number 137  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Even if element 137 had its own article or feynmanium was the official name, it is redundant to include two names in the title. Redirects like this constitute a Pandora's box (e.g. Fluorine Element 9 and Flerovium Element 114 do not, and should not exist). ComplexRational (talk) 00:49, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Firstly WP:PANDORA is a recently-added section of an essay (that doesn't as a whole have universal consensus - it gets about as much wrong as it does right) and directly contradicts WP:OTHERSTUFF and the lack of precedent, accordingly whether other redirects with this formation do, don't, should or shouldn't exist is entirely irrelevant. Anyone using this redirect will be taken directly to the only content we have they could be looking for, so it's both useful and unambiguous so there is no reason to delete. Thryduulf (talk) 11:12, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Thryduulf. This is a Pandora's box worth opening because it would lead to the creation of useful redirects. -- Tavix ^(talk) 16:24, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• (edit conflict) (replying to both) My primary concern is that anyone who gets as far as typing "feynmanium" or any other element in the search bar will already find an article or a redirect to it (e.g. feynmanium already points readers to what they were looking for, and can be typed far quicker); a search for "element 137" (or similar redirects) alone will also satisfy readers. I still don't see how it's not redundant to define the topic twice in a single title. As far as setting a precedent, where would we draw the line between potentially useful redirects and redundant redirects that could be created ad infinitium?
• As a side note, WP:ONLYESSAY is an argument to avoid here (unless I misunderstood a key point in your rationale). ComplexRational (talk) 19:04, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• There is no such thing as a "redundant redirect" - a redirect is either useful or it isn't, and that can only be judged on its own merits. Whether other similar redirects do or not exist is irrelevant. Not every element is unambiguously named (Gold and mercury come immediately to mind) and unnecessary disambiguation is never a bad thing. Also the search bar is only one of many methods people use to find Wikipedia content, search suggestions are not available for most of them and anyone who does look for this is going to be taken to the exact content they are looking for, and as someone has seen fit to create this redirect we can assume that they at least find it useful (WP:R#KEEP point 5). Thryduulf (talk) 20:55, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• To clarify "redundant", it means that a simpler, more plausible redirect exists. Checking pageviews, this redirect has exactly one hit between two days after redirection and this RfD, whereas "feynmanium"(typed first or linked from other articles) has 15 hits per day, strongly suggesting that "Feynmanium Element 137" doesn't serve a very important function as a redirect. I also would like to know, how else would this title (and not another redirect) be reached if not via searches - it has no incoming links outside XfD.

This also is not the standard way of disambiguating, per WP:AT and WP:NCDAB. If there was another "feynmanium" (I'm pretty sure there isn't), it would either be the WP:PTOPIC and Feynmanium (disambiguation) would exist, or it would not be and parenthetical disambiguation (not even in this redirect) would be the way to go. In that case, we would have Feynmanium (element) as the simplest disambiguator; we do not say Mercury element 80 or Mercury first planet. Once again, there is no precedent for this type of redirect, even in unnecessary disambiguation. ComplexRational (talk) 22:04, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Whether or not this is an opening to a Pandora's box doesn't matter, we have a specific case at hand. There is nobody likely to be actually searching for this query intentionally rather than out of surprise that this name pops up in the suggestion box.--R8R (talk) 18:47, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. First, the element is not named "Feynmanium" (but for "Folk legend"). Tentavive naming of elements, especially this speculative, is frowned upon in scientific circles (because it would hinder the sensitive naming process: its discoverers have the primary right to propos a name). Second, an improbable search term as it repeats a name (identifier); as nom and R8R described above. Third: while PANDORA may be an essay, as an argument it stands. -DePiep (talk) 19:22, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • As an argument Pandora really doesn't stand - it directly contradicts WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST and that every redirect stands or fails on its own merits - things that have had consensus here for at least a decade and probably longer. As for the substance of your argument, it doesn't matter if the element is or isn't called "Feynmanium", what matters is whether people are looking for it by that name and the target article demonstrates they clearly are. Thryduulf (talk) 20:55, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • The title is Feynmanium Element 137, not just "Feynmanium". How is that a search term? -DePiep (talk) 21:30, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Redirects for Feynmanium and Element 137 have existed since 2017, both pointing to the same target: Extended periodic table § Feynmanium and elements above the atomic number 137. I can discern no potential need for Feynmanium Element 137 that would not be satisfied by one or the other of these two redirects. Consider the following comparable situation in a completely different domain. Redirects JFK and Jack Kennedy both point to John F. Kennedy. Would anyone consider creating a new redirect JFK Jack Kennedy? I can see only two differences between these examples (1) the difference in domain (physics vs. politicians) and (2) one is a section link and the other is an article link. I don't think either of those differences would drive one to a different conclusion. YBG (talk) 22:22, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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

Not equivalent. Østen is Norwegian for "east", whereas Øystein is a given name that means something along the lines of "good luck stone". _signed, Rosguill ^talk 17:35, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I'm finding lots of uses of Østen as a given name, although not immediately for anyone notable. I'm also finding a lot of genealogy hits for people who used one name but were formally the other, especially for people who lived circa 1800-1950. It's also worth noting that no:Øystein notes it both as an old fashioned/archaic form of the name and as the Danish equivalent. Thryduulf (talk) 22:54, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Create set index article for the given name. We have pages for Østen Østensen, Østen Bergøy, Eistein Kjørn (aka Østen Kjørn), and possibly others. - Eureka Lott 00:15, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hmm. Now I'm not so sure about that. no:Østen (andre betydninger) says that Østen is Swedish form of the male name Øystein. Perhaps it would be best to retain the redirect. - Eureka Lott 17:37, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Technically, according to the Norwegian disambiguation page you linked and tables at no:Øystein#Utbredelse, the Swedish form of Øystein is Östen, with a different diacritic than Østen (although both are pronounced the same). I would still support creating a set index article, although definitely with navigation aids to avoid confusion between all these similar names. Geolodus (talk) 07:34, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • Good point. I'm embarrassed that I missed that. I made a first draft of a given name page below the redirect. - Eureka Lott 19:08, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Archimedes scientific achievements → Archimedes  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Wikipedia is not a search engine. Also redirects to ad-hoc Wikipedia sections are not useful redirects. Also punctuation failure. — the Man in Question (in question)

• Comment I cannot agree with you at all that "redirects to ad-hoc Wikipedia sections are not useful redirects.". There are nearly 200,000 Redirects to sections almost all of which are correct. Per that category, "Redirects to sections are often created [...] when there is not enough information to write a whole article, project page, etc., about a subtopic, but there is enough information to include a section about it in another article or page. [These] redirects are good search terms and may have the possibility of becoming full articles someday.".

• GOOGL (NASDAQ) → Google#NASDAQ  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Improperly used disambiguation _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 14:19, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Snow keep. Disambiguation? Invalid rationale. The nominator apparently didn't understand the purpose of the redirect. "GOOGL" is Google's NASDAQ symbol (see [7]), and we routinely link NASDAQ and other past and current stock market symbols to articles about the corresponding companies. (In cases where they are ambiguous for historical reasons they would need to be disambiguated, but this wouldn't be a reason for deletion either.)

--Matthiaspaul (talk) 14:34, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, I do understand the purpose. GOOGL redirects to Alphabet Inc. already, as it should. GOOGL (NASDAQ) is pointless._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 16:01, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, you meant the parenthetical disambiguation in the title. Well, I agree that this is a bit redundant now that the other redirect exists, however, users searching for the NASDAQ symbol might routinely specify the (NASDAQ) extension as many (if not most) similar redirects follow this convention because without the extension many of these symbols are ambiguous and their place is already occupied by disambiguation pages. When I created the original redirect I didn't want it to interfere with potential other uses which could somewhen in the future be disambiguated on a disambiguation page at GOOGL, whereas links meaning the NASDAQ symbol and going through GOOGL (NASDAQ) could still remain unchanged.

I still think it should be kept for completeness and stability reasons, but I agree that the target of the redirect can be changed to Alphabet Inc. now.

--Matthiaspaul (talk) 17:10, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, this is a combination of ((R from unnecessary disambiguation)) and ((R to section)). The predictable naming for stock ticker symbols is also a good reason to keep. Thryduulf (talk) 10:20, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NCAN. Wikipedia redirects inappropriately beginning in indefinite articles. An enormous WP:Pandora's Box. I have not included any titles of works, famous quotes, words such as A frame, A fib, or A flat where the A is not an article, phrases whose acronyms use the article a in their first initial, etc. I have also left out any ones that I thought particularly likely to spark specific debate, some of which I'll probably end up listing in separate noms. All of the redirects above that did not begin as redirects (such as A frog or A jump point) were redirected without merging, and therefore none have consequential history. Many of these were created by the same user. I am sorry it is such a long list, I know some of you prefer shorter lists, but (unless I am much mistaken) none of these have previously gone through RfD and none of these were merged upon redirection (I have checked them all twice); and the issue at hand is the same for all of them. — the Man in Question (in question) 03:10, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per the above arguments, and WP:SNOW (without prejudice to retargetting proposals which should be discussed separately). - Ryk72 ^talk 12:32, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

W.r.t. the argument made by Tavix & Thryduulf, that these redirects are valuable to readers, I am not convinced that there is significant value lost by deletion. Nor am I convinced that individual redirects with a prepended indefinite article are the best way to address the issue of ensuring that readers find what they are looking for; I suggest that the question of prepended indefinite articles is better handled in search software by ensuring that the results include any targets which match the search string with an initial "a" or " an" removed. Looking at other "common noun" articles which do not have a redirect with a preceding indefinite article, this appears to be an issue which is already resolved - the target articles are invariably included in a search list as the first or second^ item listed. That is, we are saving readers a single click (assuming that the common noun is the intended target; which is not necessarily a safe assumption). c.f. A weasel (which also lists "wild weasel" and "weasel words"), A frock (which also lists "frock coat"), A camel (which also lists "camel case"). ^The sole instance that I found of the common noun not being listed first in search results is A dress, which lists The dress first. - Ryk72 ^talk 15:19, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete all except those with some consensus to keep. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 16:14, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, unambiguously takes searches where they want to go. For example, if someone searches for "A penguin", the article Penguin would be the correct article for that search. Under the same logic, retarget A Shark to Shark, A rubber stamp to Rubber stamp and A mole to Mole. -- Tavix ^(talk) 16:58, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep some but dump the rest:
  1. A pillar for reasons above
  2. A programmer weak redirect to Assembly language, like C programmer
  3. A Ball weak redirect to Single-A baseball as in Minor League Baseball and hatnote to A's baseball
  4. A Number redirect to A-Number which redirects to Calling party

Basically keep ones where they would likely be hyphenated like bring your A game AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 05:40, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep all per Tavix (without prejudice to retargetting proposals which should be discussed separately), these are entirely harmless redirects that give value to readers. Deletion will not bring any benefits to the project, but will cause harm by making content harder to find. Thryduulf (talk) 08:52, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all bar the exceptions identified by AngusWOOF. Every single one would otherwise have to be DEFAULTSORTed, or they will appear in the wrong place in a printed index. They also increase searchbox clutter. Narky Blert (talk) 10:29, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • A minor one-time inconvenience for an editor (defaultsort) does not come remotely close to outweighing the benefits to readers provided by these redirects. Search box clutter is unfortunate for some readers but that should be technically solvable and again doesn't outweigh the benefits to those readers who do use these terms to find the content they are looking for (if it was otherwise then we'd routinely delete misspellings, misnomers, incorrect capitalisations, etc).

• Delete all - pointless. Deb (talk) 08:53, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete at least some - I noticed this discussion after visiting "A distal radius fracture", which struck me as an odd search result from typing "distal radius". "A number" should be deleted (or retargeted) since A Number (different capitalization) is a separate article about a play. "A mole" should also be deleted as it could refer to either Mole (unit) or Mole (animal). The ones with parenthesis ("A ground effect vehicle (GEV)", "A spoiled child (spoiled brat)", "A geographic information system (GIS)", "A failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA)", etc) seem less plausible to be searched by users, so I would support deleting them.

I would lean toward deleting the rest of the redirects as well, although I could see some of them being searched up by users ("A public library", "A girl", "A person" etc, though their view stats don't seem to be particularly high). –Sonicwave ^talk 05:52, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MatthewCenance, none of the CSD apply to these redirects, nor does PROD apply for redirects. As such, this would be the only appropriate venue. (That said, delete per nom.) – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 00:31, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• I can see at least 1000th potentially being useful as the sort of thing people would idly search to get to the material at Timeline of the far future. None of these are old enough to have solid stats but 100th millennium, which has been around since 2009, gets a decent amount of hits despite not being linked anywhere. My feeling is keep 1000th as reasonably likely and weak delete on the rest since I can't see people trying them without trying the earlier ones keep all and wait to see which ones people are using per Thryduulf below. —Nizolan ^{(talk · c.)} 18:03, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Redirects are not merely created for "established" terms.

The result of the discussion was retarget to Ethnic groups in Thailand which has emerged as a nice compromise option from the deadlock between Thai people and Tai peoples.

If anything, I think there's a strong case for renaming the article space for the former to "Thai (people)", and the later to "Tai peoples" in line with other encyclopaedias and our own WP:NATURALDIS. I haven't actually got a clue as to whether the majority of readers would be looking for the multi-ethnic contemporary nation-state, or the article on the Tai ethnic group. I suspect it would be the contemporary nation-state, ergo (sans article move) I'd suggest that it remain pointing to Thai people. I notice that the "Tai peoples" article lacks a DAB hatnote. It's probably worth checking the talk page to find out whether there was consensus to not have one at some point. Iryna Harpy (talk) 03:56, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  For better or worse, titles like Thai people (not Thai (people)) are standard (e.g., Romani people, Olukumi people, Khmu people, etc.; just take a glance at this category to see dozens of examples: Category:Ethnic groups in China). — the Man in Question (in question) 00:10, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  I do agree with you, the Man in Question. It was a passing thought as it was used on occasion for ethnic groups in the past where things were a little ticklish over a region or a people, but would only be of any value for consideration if 'Tai (peoples)' were the NATURALDIS... which is not the case. As we've both concluded, retaining the current redirect to 'Thai people' makes the most sense. In the infrequent situations such as this, hatnotes are the dominant source for clarification for the reader. I don't believe the reader is going to overthink the disambiguation, therefore there's no need for us to do the same. Iryna Harpy (talk) 06:39, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• I say: Weak keep the redirect to Thai people and trust that the hatnote will guide those looking for Tai peoples. The Thai spelling clearly belongs to Thai people, and the peoples/people distinction is slight enough to be subordinate to the aforementioned spelling. [But I see Deryck's point too.] — the Man in Question (in question) 00:10, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget Tai peoples. The Tai languages make an aspirated vs unaspirated distinction and "Thai" is a valid spelling of the wider people group as well. "Tai" and "Thai" are simply two different romanisations of the same term, which English-language literature co-opted to distinguish between the broad people group vs the narrow ethno-national people group. I would say the plural "peoples" should swing this title towards the broad people group. @Chaaak: Any comment? Deryck C. 14:52, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  This is a good point. I'll change my vote to only a weak keep. — the Man in Question (in question) 19:25, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  I suspect that Tai languages, the DAB page for Tai, and various arguments over how this should be handled has created no end of problems. Again, I'd stick with the redirect in question remaining targetted at the Thai people article, but would strongly suggest that what is being implied (a merge of the Tai peoples and Thai people articles should not be addressed here, but brought to the attention of editors who work on the broader Wikipedia:WikiProject Ethnic groups project. It's a separate question to that of a redirect and should not be !voted on in this limited venue. Iryna Harpy (talk) 01:28, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I'm not convinced by Deryck's argument as most people searching on the English Wikipedia will be unaware of the nuances of the Tai languages and will be looking for the same target as if they searched "Thai people". Thryduulf (talk) 18:06, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• I was going to close this as no consensus, but maybe I'll throw out Ethnic groups in Thailand as a possibility. Tai peoples is listed in the first sentence; Thai people isn't, but probably could be. Semantically, I think there's a solid argument for parsing "Thai peoples" as "wikt:peoples that are wikt:Thai", compared to a misspelling of "Tai peoples" and an uncommon/irregular plural for Thai people. --BDD (talk) 15:20, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Ethnic groups in Thailand per BDD, very sensible and what I would expect "Thai peoples" to mean. —Kusma (t·c) 18:54, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to Tai peoples. From a quick Google Search this seems to mostly be used as an uncommon variant of "Tai peoples". See Seidenfaden 1960 or Jonson 2005 or Brown 2001. saɪm duʃan Talk|Contribs 17:49, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Ethnic groups in Thailand. Not sure if a potential closer was already counting my earlier comment as such, but I thought I'd make it official. Let's not assume the search term is a mistake, and readers will have access to the other relevant topics anyway. --BDD (talk) 01:52, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget per BDD. Makes the most sense, since "Thai" is more likely to be used to mean something related to Thailand, than as a misspelling. Also, popular proposed target (Tai peoples) is in the very first sentence there. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 14:52, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment there is a Fancy Food Show from Specialty Food Association. Fancy is not the name of a brand for Fancy Feast, rather, it uses (whatever) Feast for their products.

Rosguill What do all these notices saying the redirects I've added have "been reviewed" mean?

I suspect it means someone has complained about me correcting the title somewhere, so have asked for it to be checked, along with all the alternative titles.

I'm not entirely sure where I got all the alternative titles from but I suspect I got:

• Hannibal: The Nightmare of Rome from the translations of Aníbal - La pesadilla de Roma which is what it was called in Argentina on DVD, and Hannibal - Der Albtraum Roms which is what it was called in Germany.
• Hannibal: The Fall of Carthage and Hannibal: Fall of Carthage from the following websites (where they got that title from I have no idea) ^[1][2][3][4]
• Hannibal: Legendary Commander from the translation of Ганнибал: Легендарный полководец which is what it was called in Russia.
• Hannibal: Nightmare of Rome from the translation of Hannibál - Róma rémálma which is what it was called in Hungary.
• Hannibal, Rome's Worst Enemy from the translation of Aníbal, el peor enemigo de Roma which is what it was called in Spain.

Ok, I had no idea that these were from foreign language versions.
