• Due to legitimate and serious WP:BLP1E concerns, I have moved this page to Wayne Chiang (Virginia Tech graduate) and created the requested redirect. This, in my opinion, is a classic case of WP:NOTNEWS where we should have exercised more caution before following the media herd. I'll leave this open for someone else to close, and either endorse or revert my administrative actions. – wbm1058 (talk) 13:37, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Éditions Fides → fr:Éditions Fides  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete, unless there is an appropriate local page to retarget this to. Sending readers to non-English content is not helpful. Additionally, the plain soft redirect template is not used in the mainspace. Precedents: Mohamed Chabani|, Saint Michel Boulevard, Bonne Nuit les Petits, and Kumagai Morikazu. — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 23:08, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I created the redirect though I wasn't completely sure it was appropriate. Personally I haven't encountered explanations that have persuaded me that on balance the redirect is "unhelpful" and does more harm than good, but I don't care a great deal about the issue and will not oppose deletion. It seems to me that it would be ideal to be able to simultaneously alert a reader that a foreign-language article exists, but also keep them aware that an English article is lacking. But I see no way to do that now and have nothing further to suggest. So please go ahead and proceed as you think best. --Presearch (talk) 23:30, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per Wikipedia:Soft redirect: "Soft redirects to non-English language editions of Wikipedia should be avoided because they will generally be unhelpful to English-language readers." @Presearch, in case you haven't already seen it, Wikipedia:Translation has some tips for requesting translations. - Eureka Lott 00:10, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That is very cool!

The result of the discussion was retarget to Template:Better source needed. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 21:49, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Bsn → Template:BSicon-name  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 
• Template:BSN → Template:Better source needed  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This is confusing. ((Bsn)) is a redirect for ((BSicon-name)), which is used in the ((BS-map)) template for illustrating railway maps. But ((BSN)) is a redirect for ((Better source needed)).This has caused some editors to use the wrong template. Neither of these redirects is highly used, but surely one of them should be deleted.

That's magnanimous of you, telling an entire project that they need to switch just because your (unjustified) opinion says otherwise. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 13:36, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That project could switch to Template:BSn. The page Wikipedia:Route diagram template uses "BSn" 59 times, but it never uses "Bsn". --Wow (talk) 05:28, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This disaster aside, it appears that there was an attempted page hijacking of the ((Bsn)) redirect three months ago last year.
Also, for reference, please note the expanded stats table below. On both EN:WP and Commons it looks like Template:BSicon-name is the WP:PRIMARY for the bsn variants. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 13:30, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The edit I made to Template:Bsn was from last year. And you could also say that there was a page hijack on Template:BSN in 2018 as the redirect used to go to Template:Infobox basketball club. I would like to note that the examples I cited in my vote, en:Template:Vn and commons:Template:Vn, has 169 transclusions and 331 transclusions respectively. --Wow (talk) 19:24, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Replace ((BSN)) (with ((Bcn)), which is also a redirect to Template:Better source needed) given its nearly-nonexistent usage.
  Keep ((Bsn)) as it mirrors its ten-times-more-prevalent equivalent on Commons. (Note that there are 48 instances of ((Bcn)).) AlgaeGraphix (talk) 21:09, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget both to Template:Better source needed per above. The reason why I tried to change the redirect was so that it would harmonize with redirects like Template:Acn, Template:Cn, Template:Mcn, and so on. I would retarget Template:Bsn even if the Commons version is linked to 350 pages; the redirect Template:Vn is completely different from the redirect on Commons. --Wow (talk) 05:10, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Troubadour Records → Shinji Hosoe  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Unless Shinji Hosoe owns the label (in which case the article should say so) I don't think it's reasonable to redirect this to an artist, particularly with potential ambiguity with Troubadour Music Inc., so I suggest delete. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:58, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• The Japanese label is apparently named Troubadour Record (singular). We could move the nominated page to Troubadour Record and point Troubadour Records to Troubadour (disambiguation)#Music as an ambiguous name. - Eureka Lott 15:28, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Yeah, Shinji Hosoe owns that label. I would not be against the redirect being deleted, since the record label isn't notable enough (I was the one who wiped the page and redirected it to Hosoe, due to the record label being his). DrDevilFX (talk) 16:23, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned in target article, and a mention in the target article would likely be WP:UNDUE. This is going to be a fairly large bundled nom, and I'll check all of these to make sure no merges occurred in the history before nominating.

Also, if "Foo (bar)" is a redirect, then the bot would tag "Foo (bar" with "((R avoided double redirect|Foo (bar)))". Which option do you prefer, fixing Facebook or having a bot mass create redirects of the form "Foo (bar"? If the former, then the redirect should be deleted.

The new and TBA stuff here has already been released or confirmed...or at least any earlier targets of these nine. Nothing seems to link to them, they didn't seem to have many pageviews in 2019, and some are even ambiguous. We should maybe delete them or retarget them wherever appropriate, unless a justification can be provided. Regards, SONIC678 04:47, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• To avoid looking silly, please look at old revisions of a page before asking questions like that. IMDb confirms Ratty Nepalese as the character's name, but it's needlessly obscure for a redirect. Delete. - Eureka Lott 02:34, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

After I closed Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 April 17#Heptation, I discovered a few more redirects that also fit that rationale. The article for Hyperoperation ends at 6, so these aren't mentioned at the target. -- Tavix ^(talk) 00:43, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:FIS Ski Flying World Championships 2020 → FIS Ski Flying World Championships 2020  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

There does not seem to be a good reason why the template should be redirected to an article. Also, the template was previously transcluded onto the target article, but has since been removed from there, and replaced with a redirect to there. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 00:35, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Pawapuro Productions → Konami  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Not mentioned at the target. Based on our internal search results, it seems like this is a studio that is either very closely related to Konami or a subsidiary, but if it's not mentioned at the target the redirect won't be terribly useful to readers. I would suggest deletion and letting internal results handle it. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 19:01, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Instead of redirecting this if applying redirects is not useful to anyone, why can't we just create an article on the subsidiary? Is that a problem? Wikipedia needs to grow some more with more articles. I would suggest to create a page for everything. Zacharyalejandro (talk) 04:03, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Well, does it meet the WP:GNG? And were you planning on creating and writing it? Its an obscure topic, it doesn’t strike me as something that is just randomly going to happen in the coming days. Sergecross73 msg me 21:50, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep but fix fix fix: The only page "Pawapuro Productions" (sic) is linked from is Professional Baseball Spirits, but "Pawapuro Production" is used on more pages. Also known as "Diamond Head", and is an internal team at Konami[3] (from archive[4]). Where there is (or at least should be) a link from multiple pages, and that link would be likely to be a permanent redlink unless redirected, there's a benefit in redirection. So, how about: create Pawapuro Production as a redirect to Konami#Video games; modify the text to mention Powapuro Production in association with the Baseball series using the GDM magazine as a ref; fix Professional Baseball Spirits (and the other pages) to use "Pawapuro Production"; retarget this slightly to point to the Video Games section and rcat this one as ((r from incorrect)) and ((r to section)). ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 03:34, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. As of now, but this discussion doesn't preempt adding content to articles, so if related content is added at an appropriate target, I'd be pleased to reconsider. --Bsherr (talk) 15:32, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Not mentioned in the target (or anywhere else worthwhile in WP), so a useless redirect. As matters stand, the searchbox will help readers better. No prejudice against either keeping or recreating as a redirect if a sourced mention is added to a suitable target, or even against turning into an article if an editor thinks this topic passes WP:GNG. As it says at the of this page, "If you want to replace an unprotected redirect with an article, you do not need to list it here. Turning redirects into articles is wholly encouraged. Be bold!".
