Inappropriate cross-namespace redirect. funplussmart (talk) 19:49, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If there is a more appropriate way for people to find out about wiki-hounding then please put it in place. This appeared a rational way for those who either were accused or were being hounded to easily find out about the abuse.Fleets (talk) 19:51, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

One can always simply add the "Wikipedia:" prefix to get to the page. funplussmart (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep. Adding the "Wikipedia:" prefix is simple only if you know about namespaces - one of the main reasons (indeed probably the most important reason) to keep CNRs from mainspace to project space is when the target is something that very new or inexperienced users who haven't yet learned about namespaces will be looking for. As there is clearly no mainspace target that could be being sought by this search term, the key question is whether the target page is something that such users will be looking for and I think on balance it possibly is something that new users may be accused of or have heard about, so it is useful.

@Funplussmart: It's a redirect. All redirects, regardless of namespace, are discussed at redirects for discussion. -- Tavix ^(talk) 20:25, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Tavix: Yes but it wasn't always a redirect. There used to be a draft "article" on the page (such pages should go to MfD), but it is not really an article at all. In the end it doesn't matter, neither the draft nor the redirect is useful at all. funplussmart (talk) 04:54, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's one of the circumstances that do get taken into account at RfD. There's nothing wrong in deleting history with useless content in it here; if that content is useful then it can be preserved by moving to a different title; or – if the question of notability is involved – the old article would usually get restored and procedurally sent to AfD. – Uanfala (talk) 05:15, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment If we move as Shhhnotsoloud has proposed (which I think is sensible) what should we do with the history currently at Eilean Bàn? IMO either the DAB page should be moved to Eilean Bàn (disambiguation) or Eilean Bàn and Eilean Bàn, Lochalsh should swap places (meaning that the edit history of the DAB is moved to Eilean Bàn, Lochalsh but then redirected to "Eilean Bàn") however either don't seem excellent.

• Keep People might create a desperate article on international editions, but until that happens, this is no reason to delete a redirect to an article that contains information about the topic. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 13:02, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RDEL#D10:"the target article contains virtually no information on the subject" (my emphasis). To wit: "a German edition, Spektrum der Wissenschaft [de], in Germany in 1978" Paradoctor (talk) 15:44, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And that is sufficient information to keep a redirect. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 18:13, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - I think you're misinterpreting WP:RDEL#D10 - I'm not convinced this is what is intended by "virtually no information on the subject". Spektrum der Wissenschaft is (in effect) a German-language version of Scientific American and hence most of the parent article applies to it(!!) even if it (currently) has little to say specifically about that version. (I suspect the rule was intended for uselessly broad redirects, e.g. if Spektrum der Wissenschaft had redirected to magazine; the two are nowhere near synonymous and the latter would not be useful to those searching for the former).

If we applied your interpretation of that rule consistently, this would mean getting rid of *every* redirect that covered a minor variation (badge-engineered version, whatever) of something else that had little said *specifically* about it.

For example- Texet TX 8000 redirects VTech Laser 200. It's the UK distributor's name for the same computer, with little specific to say about it and certainly doesn't warrant a separate article... yet it would also be counter-productive and downright nonsensical to get rid of the redirect, since it would be a loss for anyone looking for the computer under the Texet name.

In fact, for this reason, the more I think about this, the more unlikely your interpretion becomes, simply because it's so illogically counter-productive.

Whether or not Spektrum der Wissenschaft warrants an article of its own is beside the point. It doesn't have one currently, and until then, the redirect is better than nothing.

• Small coal → Briquette  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I think that this should be retargetted: but I'm not sure exactly where to. One thing that I am certain of, is that small coal is not briquettes. It is one of several sizes of coal that are separated out by passing the freshly-mined coal over the screens. It may be used in the manufacture of briquettes, but it is also a commodity in its own right. Briquettes may also be made from coal dust. Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:48, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, but we just don't have a target for it. It would have to be somewhere as broad as "history of coal mining", because the encyclopedic aspects of small coal are pretty varied. It's involved in everything from boiler design to economic perks for colliery employees to the development of the GPCS in the Hunslet Austerity and even the manufacture of briquettes. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:56, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Coal dust is very rarely used for anything. The term is almost always applied in a purely negative context, for one of its various hazards. Where coal is powdered deliberately then it's usually termed pulverised fuel instead. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:58, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe a disambiguation page is needed - for the historic meaning of charcoal, and the contemporary one of smaller sizes of coal, which could link to the general article. Warofdreams talk 12:56, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I see no mention of small coal at the charcoal article. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:56, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe not, it's a historical name for charcoal (and the first entry in the Wiktionary article); it might merit a mention in that article, and is quite likely to be the article of interest if people search for the term. Warofdreams talk 14:59, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. First off, the word "Sahara" doesn't mean 'desert desert' in any language: the Arabic word means only "desert", and it's only if you look at the English phrase "the Sahara desert" and decide to go silly on the etymology that you can arrive at something like "desert desert". This is not a plausible way anyone would search for the desert, and certainly not anyone who knows Arabic (if they were to literally translate the Arabic name then they'd search for "great desert"). The only marginally passable target is List of tautological place names. Cudos to Smartyllama for finding that out, but I don't think it is completely suitable either as the search term doesn't in any way refer to a subtopic of that article. There are three entries for "desert desert" at the moment: one is plain wrong, the other two (Gobi and Sahara) make some sort of sense only in the context of the English phrases; and even then they're pure WP:OR (and no, the fact that they're sourced to a random listicle on mentalfloss doesn't make them any less so). – Uanfala (talk) 19:45, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to List of redundant place names as above.

  This has four pages titled "Radioactive decay chains", one chain per page; they are: "Thorium series A = 4n"; "Neptunium series A = 4n+1"; "Uranium series A = 4n+2"; and "Actinium series A = 4n+3". The last of these shows that ²³⁵U (which is used as fuel in nuclear power stations) decays in eleven steps (via ²²⁷Ac) to ²⁰⁷Pb, which is stable. So, Retarget to Decay chain#Actinium series. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:17, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
