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

I'm not quite sure what to make of this redirect. (1) Is it printworthy or unprintworthy? It's tagged with both ((R from Unicode)) and ((R with possibilities)), so something is not quite right here. (2) Should it (a) be tagged ((R avoided double redirect|Negation (symbol))) or (b) retargeted to List of logic symbols#¬? (3) Would it realistically be worthy of an article at all? I am having my doubts on that front. Maybe a dab page?

This is quite open ended to say the least. Slightly curious if I can even successfully nominate this page with Twinkle. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 22:02, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. all users who have edited this redirect have been notified of this discussion. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 22:10, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• I would say not printworthy, should redirect to List of logic symbols#¬. Someone typing in ¬ who is unaware of its meaning would most benefit from seeing it in the context of other logical operators (and the link to Negation is right there in the entry for anyone who wants to investigate further). _signed, Rosguill ^talk 22:16, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• I agree with the above suggestion. As for printworthiness, both have been automatically added by other templates. I disagree with the choice of automatic (un)printworthiness for many templates. That's something that needs to looked into generally with these templates; it's not specific to this redirect. M.Clay1 (talk) 23:11, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• I would think that Negation#Notation is ultimately the best target, even if it could do with a bit of expansion to incorporate for example the Unicode value or the Latex symbols currently listed in List of logic symbols. I don't think retargeting to the list article is best: the relevant entry is pretty far down the list (so inconvenient for readers arriving at the top) and adding an anchor for this entry won't do because of the peculiar structure of the table (which makes it confusing for anyone who hasn't first seen the table headings). Categorising as "R with possibilities" isn't as far fetched as it may seem. – Uanfala (talk) 11:28, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• I favour the status quo, but I have no great objection to redirecting to the list. Could the symbol support an article? Well, the symbol does have a history (Reddit user lcarroll's summary is sound AFAIK https://www.reddit.com/r/logic/comments/4l5993/negation_operators_symbol/d3msgbn/ ); if we had the story behind why Frege used the vertical dash to indicate negation, then maybe it could be fleshed out to more than a stub, especially if it could be combined with an article on the main alternative, '~'. If we were to try to grow a baby article about the symbol(s), then doing so in the negation article rather than in the list would be altogether better. — Charles Stewart (talk) 16:02, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Wikipedia:WikiProject Management → Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This redirect is 3 months old and just odd. I'd be expecting to find a WikiProject about "management" if I looked up this redirect, not WP:MFD. Steel1943 (talk) 17:28, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• I might have expected it to lead to something about the management of WikiProjects, Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide perhaps? I could understand Wikipedia:WikiProjects for deletion as a redirect to MfD if that's what the intention was, and I note that WP:WFD already does this. Wikipedia:Portals for deletion is a thing, too. PC78 (talk) 17:51, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. It could possibly redirect to Wikipedia:WikiProject Business, but it's a shot-in-the-dark connection. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 18:59, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I get it, the creator (who is known for having been on a bent of deleting things they find unnecessary, like small portals and apparently substandard WikiProjects) intended this as a redirect instructing on the "management" (i.e. deletion) of WikiProjects. Well, no, WP:POINT describes what this is, as well as being WP:RFD#D2 confusing as everyone commenting here is demonstrating, and probably D1, D5, and D10 also apply. Delete it. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 19:03, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• A-b-a-a-a-a-a-a-b-a → Reliability of Wikipedia#Other false information  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This is the username of the editor reponsible for the "Bicholm Conflict" hoax article, which is mentioned in the target section, but the username is not mentioned anywhere in article space that I can find. The hoax was discoved in December 2012 (see Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2013-01-28/In the media#Wikipedia hoaxes draw media attention: Bicholim conflict, Legolas2186 for the full story) and the redirect was creted in February 2013, but neither I nor Wikiblame can find the username was ever mentioned in the article. The options as I see it are either deletion or retargetting to the Signpost article - the latter will educate people searching for this (it got 121 hits last year, which is far from trivial) but it is crossnamespace (and arguably a WP:SELFREF violation too). I'm not immediately sure which I prefer. Thryduulf (talk) 15:59, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. There is no suitable target since retargeting to Signpost is inappropriate, and page views are trivial anyway. It'd be easy to add to the target, but I don't think it's a good idea to give recognition to this hoaxster. -- Tavix ^(talk) 17:32, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

More "upcoming" redirects whose subjects are no longer "upcoming". Steel1943 (talk) 13:26, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• All are ((R from move))ses, and have only recently lost their "upcoming" status. How long does a redirect of this sort remain useful? Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 14:41, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've seen and/or performed these nominations a few times in the past ... but from what I've seen and my understanding, they lose their usefulness once the "upcoming" descriptor no longer applies. In addition, for precedents, see:
    1. Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 December 1#Another batch of redirects with "upcoming" that have been released
    2. Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 February 15#"Upcoming" redirects no longer upcoming
    3. Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 November 28#More "(upcoming ...)" disambiguators that have been released
    4. Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 November 26#"(upcoming film)" disambiguators that have been released

  ...Also, the nominated redirects have no links in the article namespace. (And some of these were released in 2018 ... that's "recent"?) Steel1943 (talk) 14:59, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I skimmed the list and only saw "2019", but I see that you're right. Still, many of these are registering pageviews in the 1000s or 10,000s for the past 30 days. If they're not inaccurate (they don't redirect to the wrong film and they're not ambiguous with a different film which has not been released) they're harmless, serving a function, and should be kept. The ones that have practically no pageviews should be deleted as a matter of housekeeping. Accordingly, delete:

• Domino (upcoming film)
• 100 (upcoming film)
• The Silence (upcoming film)
• Dumbo (upcoming film)
• Deadwood (upcoming film)
• Pet Sematary (upcoming film)
• Pet Sematary (upcoming 2019 film)
• Pet Sematary (Upcoming film)
• Murder Mystery (upcoming film)

Also delete Hellboy (upcoming film) for probable ambiguity. Keep the rest. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 15:08, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Generally happy to delete per past precedent; outdated, inaccurate dismabiguation is not useful but is potentially confusing, so there should be no reason to keep any of these in the long term. That said, it appears that some of these films have only been released in the past few days so I can see the argument for a temporary short term reprieve, particularly if the film remains "upcoming" in certain territories; The Dead Don't Die won't be released in the UK and Ireland until next month, for example. PC78 (talk) 15:33, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all. My guess is that the thousands of hits we have been getting over the last month were a result of external search engines caching our redirects. From that perspective, it is actually harmful to keep these redirects after the films cease to be "upcoming" (have been released in all markets where a release is planned), so downstream data users don't continue to think that the films are still "upcoming".

• Delete or weak retarget to Tank (disambiguation)#Storage vessels. Turns out this redirect is ambiguous per the existence of Water tank; however, due to the oddity of the disambiguator, I believe that deletion would better help our readers in this case since the search results would provide more useful than redirecting to a disambiguation page. Steel1943 (talk) 16:08, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget, per Ivanvector this is useful. There is nothing that search results could find that is both relevant and not listed already at the disambiguation page, and per the many times I've explained previously search results are not reliable and may be several clicks away so where a suitable page exists (as here) it is always the better choice. Thryduulf (talk) 16:34, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Note that there are a couple of links from mainspace which probably account for the pageviews. PC78 (talk) 16:55, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    • Blimey, cool your beans... It was simply an observation, the links are probably left over from when this was an article and they may need updating, particuarly if the term is to be considered ambiguous. PC78 (talk) 17:14, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
