• Multiplayer → Multiplayer video game  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Re-target to Game#Multiplayer games, consistent with the minor variants multi player and multi-player. This is a followup to the recent discussion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 February 18#Multiplayer game. Harshrathod50 converted this to a disambiguation in October, and then started running AWB to pipe links, but was obligated to stop that after objections were raised on their talk page. Making this a disambiguation was the wrong move, as multiplayer (games) is a broad concept, but they should be allowed to finish piping the links, if they wish to. Game § Multiplayer games should probably be expanded to give a broad summary of multiplayer video games, and that article should also cover every notable topic that was included on the reverted disambiguation, if it doesn't yet. – wbm1058 (talk) 21:26, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - Would all the multiplayer links in game articles have to be redirected towards multiplayer video game as a result? ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 05:00, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  That would doubtless be preferable if you want the most-specific link relevant to the particular article. --Izno (talk) 05:52, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Game#MPG and fix links. This is for consistency and to match the previous RfD and to undo the mess with the DAB-related changes (unless a new discussion is made for the whole lot of the redirects). However, I would have definitely said that video games is the primary topic. Without looking much into it (for this RfD), is there actually significant use of this term in reliable sources other than in the context of video games? Previous discussion looks very split and there wasn't really a source survey either way. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 14:42, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  That said, if the result is to keep the current target, then we should also redirect the other two variants. Otherwise, we're back where we started with no consistency. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 17:55, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as is. The primary topic is overwhelmingly related to video games. Sergecross73 msg me 14:33, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep current target. Note that multiplayer has never been used to refer to anything but video games. Game#Multiplayer_games references Oxford dictionary but if you go there https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/multiplayer it only defines it as something related to video games, not other types of games. Dream Focus 14:56, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as primary topic. For consistency, instead change the less used multi player and multi-player to match. These two are actually the outlier, once you consider the related trio of singleplayer, single player, single-player. -- ferret (talk) 21:23, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Merriam Webster has a more general definition, and says the word dates to 1936. Billboard magazine in the 1950s had advertising for coin-operated pinball and bowling games that supported both single- and multiplayer games. wbm1058 (talk) 02:32, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  The Webster definition also says often and then list how its most often used. The other link you give I see "multiple players" but not "multiplayer". The common use of multiplayer these days is always video games. Dream Focus 15:06, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  But almost all contemporary sources talk about video games. Google's News, Books and Scholar hits are all about video games. It had use historically that isn't about video games, but primary topics can change and it certainly seems to be the case here. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 20:52, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And it is amazing to think back on how much life changes over that time period, but some redirect I don't even remember creating sticks around.

Delete. Incomplete parenthesis, but also apparently nonsense.

It should target the original use for contextual reasons, but I have added a link directly to the Google Easter eggs list there. That should resolve the above comments advocating for deletion due to multiple targets and for retargeting to the Google Easter egg list. -- Tavix ^(talk) 20:56, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I request for deletion of the redirect since it makes no sense to redirect an artist name to a list of number-one singles. There appears to be a corresponding page on Chinese Wikipedia. 210.6.196.245 (talk) 20:45, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, it can be turned into an article as the artist will likely be notable WP:MUSICBIO for having that number-one single. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:58, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. How does it not make sense? It's a legitimate target for a redirect (doesn't matter what type of article it is), and it can be expanded. I might even do so myself, but that doesn't mean it should be deleted until then. Ss112 02:09, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. This doesn't strike me as being a natural or intuitive redirect. It would be better left as a red link IMHO. PC78 (talk) 14:45, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per AngusWOOF and Ss112. The redirect goes to a legitimate place as Mao Buyi is referenced there (though the link in the actual table should be removed). The creation of the redirect seems to have been done to represent a topic that might or will likely have notability in the future for an article. The argument on whether or not a redirect is "natural or intuitive" seems a little odd to me. I do not necessarily see why a red link would be preferable to a redirect, as this may be a viable search term. Aoba47 (talk) 21:23, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Because Mao Buyi is a person and the target article is a list of songs from a particular year. If he makes it on to next years list for example, where then would you target the redirect in the absence of an article? So a valid search term, yes, but I think it's better left as a red link to show that an article is needed rather than redirecting readers to a list article that is only tangentially related. It just seems like an odd choice to me. PC78 (talk) 22:41, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • I understand that argument, but I also think that it is too soon to say whether or not he will make an appearance on future charts or not. My vote to keep it is primarily due to it being a viable search term (in my opinion) and it may be helpful to have it link somewhere, but I can understand your point of view as well. Hopefully, there will be more discussion on this. Aoba47 (talk) 22:47, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
