I agree that's a problem, but surely the right action to take is to define "bimeasurable" on Measureable function, not to delete the redirects. It should take one sentence. —Kodiologist (t) 13:32, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Kodiologist: Go on, then... Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:41, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the redirect. Conceptually, 'bimeasurable function' has more similarity to 'measurable function' than to any other existing WP article. StrokeOfMidnight (talk) 16:01, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That doesn't tell the searcher anything about the term though? By the way, the term is explained at Schröder–Bernstein theorem for measurable spaces#Comments. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 09:51, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense name, not a translation of the French (which would be "Don't touch my TV set"). Name not used, except by Wikipedia mirror sites (as the article was inexplicably at the name for 3-4 years). A few page views per day, but that's because the redirect was linked in many pages, which I've updated to the proper name Joseph2302 (talk) 12:22, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete all, due to no mention at the target. The technical WP:BLAR objection to deleting Sky Blue (PlayStation 3) is noted but, in this particular case given the extreme age of the outdated page and the tiny amount of content on it, I am comfortable taking the shortcut. ~ mazca talk 17:39, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notable for more than the current target, Gruntruck. He also played in Skin Yard and was a notable figure in Seattle's grunge scene in the early 1990s, I would presume he was notable enough to have his own article, which is incidentally why I think that it should honestly be WP:REDLINKed for now to encourage a real article to be created rather than redirect to only one side of his story. The inspiration from my request comes from Wugapodes' rationale on the deletion of Drug bust just a couple weeks ago. dannymusiceditor oops 18:26, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This currently redirects to the father of one of the band members, who is an actor. His article has no mention of the band or his daughter, so if people are redirected here, they will be confused (as proven with the comment on the talk page). – DarkGlow () 15:24, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Maroon 5's sixth studio album

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 no consensus. Editors are divided between delete !voters arguing that these are not helpful redirects and keep !voters arguing that they are nevertheless harmless. signed, Rosguill talk 20:27, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, whoever wants to know this band's sixth studio album would go straight to either Maroon 5 or Maroon 5 discography. Who would search this? I'd consider deleting this nonsense redirect. (talk) 05:23, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For the same rationale, I would like to propose the following redirects for deletion:
  • But who would search for "[an artist]'s [nth album]" when you can go directly to their discography page. Oftentimes this kind of titles are created as a response to a newly announced project, so it is of temporal effect that ceased to exist after it was released. If this kind of redirects is allowed, I am pretty sure we can have "Queen's 1st--2nd--3rd albums" or "Beatles' 1st-2nd-3rd albums" and so on, and it is unnecessary to have such redirects. (talk) 11:55, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Thryduulf: Your ping didn't work, because I have pings turned off, and because my user name is Ss112, not "Se112". I would think an admin would make sure of these kinds of things. I haven't suppressed any such redirects, and I didn't even say I would. I implied that I would because I agree that I don't think it's a particularly likely search term. There's absolutely no need to be sternly telling me I shouldn't be doing things I haven't even done. We have no such statistics on how many readers would know to type in or even be typing in "Maroon 5's sixth studio album" to find the topic Never mind, remembered Pageviews Analysis is a thing, and the only time either of the pages got views was when the articles were located at these names. Since then there's been no visits aside from I assume HĐ's visits to nominate the pages for deletion. It's far more likely readers already know the title of the album, or would navigate to Maroon 5 or Maroon 5 discography, or heck, use Google to find out the title if they don't. I have rarely come across people in the general public, i.e. not Wikipedia users or people with a vested interest in music, who know how many albums a musical act has released, or would be counting that this is/was Maroon 5's sixth, so there's that against it as well. Ss112 12:24, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @A7V2: No reason to have created these redirects in the first place, either. They are the results of TOOSOON, and keeping them would just make it cumbersome to navigate through the artists' discography, especially when there are already lists of discography of these artists. Inconsistent format (capitalization, possession etc.) also doesn't help. (talk) 02:39, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't follow... how does keeping them make it cumbersome to navigate through their discography? These redirects do nothing to stop a user looking at those list articles. I agree these redirects will no see an enormous amount of use, but what benefit comes from denying someone searching these terms the article they were unambiguously looking for? None of the reasons in WP:RFD#DELETE apply so I can't see why you would want to delete. A7V2 (talk) 06:40, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Potentially meet criterion 8--obscure synonyms for article names. (talk) 06:52, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Per WP:COSTLY this kind of redirect may actually be a burden ("Unhelpful titles whose existence might encourage the few readers who stumble upon them to assume that there exist redirects of the same type for other targets as well"). Suppose this kind of redirect is encouraged, then the format "[artist] + [nth] + [studio album]" should exist for every and each of the album article within the scope of WP:ALBUMS. Also this redirect can (arguably) satisfy criterion 8, that is obscure synonyms for article names. (talk) 15:57, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned in target article, and I didn't find anything explaining this on Google, although admittedly I didn't look too hard, because I have a feeling I probably don't want to find out what this means.

This problem still applies: Any image taken with the PSVita camera and uploaded to Wikimedia Commons will continue to have the same value appear in the file EXIF data, and this will result in a redlink. --benlisquareTCE 01:36, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
