Per Google, a reprimand is a "a rebuke, especially an official one." A ban is a hell of a lot more than a rebuke, so it's a bit misleading to redirect to the banning policy page. While this redirect is historical (2006), WhatLinksHere brings up one link, and that in an old arbitration request archive from 2013. Ironically enough, the creator was later banned. Since this is largely unused (1 pageview this year) and is misleading, I think there's a good case for deletion, despite its age. Hog Farm Bacon 02:52, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DWTD

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was disambiguate. Closing this discussion since the disambiguate votes seem obvious and clear. (non-admin closure) Seventyfiveyears (talk) 15:21, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"DWTD" redirects to "Deal with the Devil (disambiguation)" on Wikipedia, but when I searched up "DWTD" on Google, it defaults the results as Dumb Ways to Die. Seventyfiveyears at 13:40, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - seems to be a valid redirect. Google's search algorithms results don't really matter on WP. But even on their results there are several other possible uses for this acronym.Onel5969 TT me 14:18, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Flux

The result of the discussion was no consensus. It's often unclear whether or not to usurp an existing redirect for a new use like this. Give it some time before renomination—it could be useful to see to what extent Template:Fluctuation formatter is used. --BDD (talk) 15:17, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect has pointed to Template:Current since 2005 but has only 17 transclusions, so is essentially unused. I recently created Template:Fluctuation formatter with shortcuts ((Fluctuation)) and ((Fluc)). To avoid having to place a hatnote at ((Current)), I'd like to substitute out the very few uses of this and change the target to ((Fluctuation formatter)). (I'd be happy to place a hatnote at ((Fluctuation formatter)) if you think anyone might still remember the old target, but that seems unlikely.) ((u|Sdkb))talk 04:09, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chung-kuo

The result of the discussion was retarget all to Chung Kuo. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 10:16, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think these are supposed to be variant forms of the transliteration of the Chinese word for China, but I learned that from Google and not from Enwiki, because the terms don't appear to be mentioned. A redirect to China is confusing without knowing why I'm there. An alternative target, which would also require an explanation in the article, is Names of China. There is also disambiguation page Chung Kuo which has an entry "Chung-kuo or China", also not actually helpful. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 16:39, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy deleted per G7. -- Tavix (talk) 14:03, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I request that this redirect be deleted, I accidentally created it whilst attempting to create a redirect with a similar title. "List of..." is standard practice on Wikipedia, whilst "awards... received by..." isn't. – Sean Stephens (talk) 12:16, 23 August 2020 (UTC) (Note: Please ping me when you reply)[reply]

I created this redirect just over a month ago thinking that such redirects are necessary when moving content from sandboxes, but have since discovered that it violates WP:CNR. I wish for this redirect to be deleted in accordance with WP:CNR. – Sean Stephens (talk) 12:27, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect created by a sock in 2016. I don't think these are the same magazine. Dummy Mag ([5]) is still going strong, and Jockey Slut does not mention "dummy" anywhere. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 06:58, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Should redirect to Hymnwriter instead, as they are the same thing. Aza24 (talk) 05:06, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This was fine when it pointed at Portal:Ukraine/New article announcements, but that's been redirected - and rightly so; it hasn't had a substantial edit since 2014. That leaves this shortcut as a mismatch for its target, pointing from the main namespace to a non-content namespace that we normally don't tolerate cross-namespace redirects to, and redundant to WT:UKRAINE (which isn't technically in mainspace, like this is). —Cryptic 02:45, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
