• Ivern → League of Legends  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This is another League of Legends character not mentioned at the target. We have articles about both the character's English voice actor David Lodge (voice actor) and the Japanese voice actor Jin Urayama, and for that matter I could probably create an article on the Korean voice actor Oh In-seong (wikidata:Q11261612), but targetting a character to a performer runs into WP:XY problems. Separately, Ivern is also a surname, but we don't have an article about anyone by this surname (it is the maternal surname of Emilio Jacinto Mauri, but it seems it's not actually used to refer to him, so I don't think a ((R from surname)) to him would be justifiable.) It's also the Occitan word for winter, covered at wikt:ivern. Anyway I'd suggest deleting and letting the search engine do its job. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 23:31, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• History of the world → Human history  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I think this redirect should go to World history because that seems like the likely target. However, I don't feel comfortable changing the redirect myself because of the large number of pages this would affect, but this is something that I am willing to do if the consensus is to change the redirect. Interstellarity (talk) 17:24, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to World history per nom. Seems strange to have "History of the world" redirect to anything but "World history", given that those concepts are pretty well the same thing.

• Retarget or disambiguate per nom. Just for context, this was created at the hand of an RM. Anarchyte (talk • work) 17:43, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to World history per nom (1^st choice) or disambiguate (2^nd choice), and update the links to this title on the affected pages if needed. This move would be more helpful to readers searching for the history of the world, because not all history is recorded by humans! And on a calendar of the world's history, human history is in the last few minutes, as one of my old community college textbooks explains. Regards, SONIC678 18:10, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. There's some (understandable) confusion here about how the articles are differentiated. World history is an academic discipline, whereas Human history is the overview of the history of humanity. Someone searching for "History of the world" is almost certainly looking for the latter, since that term isn't an alternative name for the discipline. Additionally, until the RM in March, "Human history" was located at "History of the world"; readers may still remember it at the old title (and links may still go there), so even if the move were a good idea, we would want to wait before doing it.

• Due to the immense number of pageviews this redirect is receiving, I have re-enabled the redirect to target its current target as to not confront readers with an unhelpful maintenance template – instead to help them to an appropriate article. — J947 ^[cont] 22:23, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• @Naypta, Anarchyte, Sonic678, and Sdkb: What are your thoughts on disambiguating the page? Interstellarity (talk) 01:11, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  @Interstellarity: I think Sdkb raises a good argument, but I think it's also important to recognise that with such similar titles, a reader that types in "History of the world" looking for "World history", but stumbles upon "Human history" might be surprised. Because of this, I've changed my !vote above to include disambiguation. Anarchyte (talk • work) 06:30, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  @Interstellarity: I'd be happy with disambiguating it, sure. Naypta ☺ | ✉ talk page | 08:10, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  @Interstellarity: I'm also OK with disambiguating it, per Sdkb's argument people might be looking for human history, but of course there are those who're looking for world history, as I've argued above. As such, I'm adding more to my !vote here. Regards, SONIC678 15:53, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  I would not support this. "World history" is the name of an academic discipline akin to Comparative history, but "History of the world" is not. A disambiguatory hatnote at Human history is enough, especially given the discrepancy in pageviews. ((u|Sdkb)) ^talk 17:50, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Disambiguate makes more sense to me in this circumstance, after reading the different perspectives above. While Sdkb makes a good point, so does Anarchyte. Someone searching for "history of the world" could honestly be interested in either option. --Micky (talk) 02:01, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Support: Yes, the nomination has a point. —- Taku (talk) 18:08, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep as is. The proposed new target is less general (and possibly less common). For example, this redirect is already used in the wild at Cohomology ring, where it refers to the common notion of a Z-graded ring with the usual graded commutativity relation. There's even a short blurb at Graded ring#Anticommutativity about the full general notion, but it doesn't mention the cohomology example or use the same terminology. What might make most sense ultimately is to merge Graded-commutative ring into this section at Graded ring, and if so, then point the redirect there instead. (If this is a good idea would probably depend on whether or not there's enough separate specific info about the graded commutativity requirement to sustain a full article, and I'm not sure on that one, but my initial feeling is probably not). But that's all a bit of a digression, and the point I was trying to make was that the proposed target is more specific than the original, both in terms algebra vs. ring and in terms of requiring a Z_2-grading for no good reason, and so would be a bad change. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 13:52, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

While I'm not convinced that it's going anywhere (it looks like it's headed for some variety of "no consensus/moot" outcome to me), I think it would be prudent to let the dust settle over there before starting yet another discussion here. --NYKevin 08:47, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• I disagree. As you write, the move discussion appears almost certain to not end with the page being moved. There is therefore no reason to defer the RfD. Sandstein 15:47, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• How about actually reading the discussion and seeing that the consensus is moving Lady Antebellum to their actual name of Lady A?--BaseFree (talk) 18:03, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Regardless of what we think the RM is going to do, this RfD will implicitly override the outcome of that discussion. Therefore, if you truly think the RM discussion is fruitless, you should go ask an uninvolved administrator to close it early. Starting a second discussion at RfD while the RM is still formally open could be (mis)interpreted as a backdoor attempt to undermine the RM. This would undermine the legitimacy of both discussions, and we would likely end up at DRV for a third round, possibly followed by a second RM or a relist at RfD (for a grand total of four discussions). I really would prefer to avoid that outcome. --NYKevin 03:03, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment My apologise to Sandstein for the early closure of this redirect. It will be my lesson in future to not avoid doing this. Captain Galaxy (talk) 13:32, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I believe the policy is very clear against this change.

1. Lady A, as of the rename, is the name used by reliable sources for the band. WP:NAMECHANGES is unambiguous here: we use the name reliable sources use.
2. WP:R#ASTONISH is unambiguous here too. We do not surprise readers. Let's look at the graph of views. "Lady A" has declined in views, whilst "Lady Antebellum" has risen, due to the extra friction we're creating. Anite White peaked her views and she's now down to 100-200 views per day. The band has consistently been at 1.5k and is currently trending at 3-4k per day, after peaking at 25k. "Lady A", being the mess of a page it is, peaked at 40k before sharply declining due to the state of the page. With a quick search we see that even before the name change, and before the band was known as "Lady A", most searches for Lady A led to the band. Spotify was already using the name. Reliable sources were already using the name. Anita White is nowhere to be found on these searches, anywhere on these pages. You can scroll through the pages and the result is the same: people used this as a shortcut to get to the band.
3. Nothing has changed. Interest in Anita White is minimal, aside from the naming controversy, which is what most the content on her Wikipedia page is about. Wikipedia is not a platform for advocacy. If the band decides to reverse their name change, or the reliable sources decide to stop using "Lady A" and make the political statement themselves, that's fine, we'll follow suit. But this has not happened. We're inconvincing users looking for information on a band who is known as Lady A, who are by far the most popular user of that name, and is the same name reliable sources use. We're creating inconsistency between the lead and article title. And we're creating inconsistency between the infobox Google is showing, and the article on Wikipedia.

I'm fine with the existing hatnote at the top of Lady Antebellum to alert the small number of users who might be looking for Anita White. But, policy is clear: this should not be a dab page. It would be like making George Floyd a dab page just because George Floyd (American football) exists - the latter was actually moved from George Floyd after it became clear interest was in the former, not the latter. The same applies here. Though this discussion is moot because the move discussion is indeed not closed, and the result is not clear (as arguments on Wikipedia are based on policy, not vote) until an uninvolved and experienced editor closes it.

Procedurally Close: Edit: BaseFree is correct, the consensus at that discussion is indeed to move to Lady A. The wording of the move request was changed half way through, so the "Support" and "Oppose" has been jumbled up, but on a closer read of the policy arguments, and the note left by another user, it is clear what the intentions of the !votes is, and there is an overwhelming majority to move to Lady A. Hence, this request should be procedurally closed as moot, in my opinion, and the current Lady A should be moved to Lady A (disambiguation) ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 19:39, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• I'd support a dab page. It turns out this was originally a redirect, then a dab page for Lady Amherst's pheasant, which are called "Lady A"'s colloquially, and then the band Lady Antebellum. My research uncovered this: [1] so given this is a current controversy we should probably add back in the pheasant and then create a dab page as to not take sides in the controversy. SportingFlyer T·C 19:55, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Disambiguate and move Lady Antebellum to Lady A (band). There do appear to be more potential uses than the current pair of hot topics. BD2412 T 19:58, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• 1985 Cops from Hell Bombing. → 1985 MOVE bombing  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Heavily POV title. Very unlikely search term. SummerPhD^v2.0 04:31, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete for WP:NPOV and also the full stop at the end that makes it highly unlikely to be used. Passengerpigeon (talk) 05:02, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete because of the dot, but not because of NPOV (we have WP:RNEUTRAL to consider). If we were talking about the no-dot form of this title, we might have to look and see whether any sources were using that name. Fortunately, the dot means we needn't bother. --NYKevin 08:54, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom --DannyS712 (talk) 10:27, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per NYKevin (i.e. explicitly not for POV). I can't find any evidence that this exact phrase, with or without a dot, is in use anywhere other than this redirect. Unsurprisingly "Cops from hell" alone is a well used phrase that is not tied to this event and searching for "Cops from Hell" bombing "1985" also doesn't give results that are relevant (Punk/hardcore music and a film seem to be the primary topics). Thryduulf (talk) 11:55, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - The only usage of this term for this event I can find is at the enwiki article John Africa. Hog Farm (talk) 00:50, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, I've gone through the same thing as Hog Farm earlier. While this thing may have gotten a lot of pageviews yesterday, I'm assuming it's mostly because of this discussion, since it got zero prior to this since July 2015. It might just be better to do without this redirect. Regards, SONIC678 19:58, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete due to the full stop. Considering creating the redirect without the full stop. --Micky (talk) 02:57, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
