• The Town(film) → The Town (1945 film)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This redirect targets the 1945 film called "The Town" when there are other films with this name. However, it is malformed, and the correct redirect name for this is "The Town (film)". So delete this redirect unless justification can be provided. Seventyfiveyears (talk) 22:23, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete implausible spacing error, fairly low page views. The main article was only at this title for 11 minutes in 2005 so it is highly unlikely there are any incoming links.

• Existential threat → Global catastrophic risk  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Misleading redirect, an existential threat also refers to threats to any entity which are not usually global catastrophic risks:

• "Dementia thus represents an existential threat that creates profound emotional and psychological challenges for those who are directly affected by the illness."[1]
• "Former CIA officer Marc Sageman concluded that “al Qaeda is no longer seen as an existential threat to the West”"[2]
• "[deportations] rapidly radicalized monstrously into an opportunity to rid Anatolia once and for all of those peoples perceived to be an imminent existential threat to the future of the empire."[3]

Since there are reliable sources about existential threats in general as well as there rhetoric of existential threats,[4][5][6][7][8][9] I would say delete to encourage article creation. (t · c) buidhe 09:12, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose There have been many and significant discussions about this term on the talk page of the main article. We are not creating a separate article on this topic, it will be a content fork. Attempting to end-run around those discussions "to encourage article creation" with this deletion request is not appreciated.

As far as I can tell, "existential risk" is used mostly as a synonym for "global catastrophic risk" (it's bolded in the introduction of the article) but "existential threat" is certainly not. (t · c) buidhe 19:15, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and tag as ((R with possibilities)). This is the best target to which to point this title for now because there are global risks that are described as existential threats, and no better option has been offered.

• Delete This term is far too vague to target anywhere, as noted by original nomination. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 02:20, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I don't think this really is a redirect with possibilities - one could probably make a set-indexy article discussing the various concepts of existential threats, but I'm not honestly sure that would really evolve to much more than a dictionary definition or a duplication. This is a phrase that does often mean "threats to our existence", but really just means the threat to the existence of whatever it is you're talking about. I think it's sufficiently ambiguous to not be a net positive. ~ mazca ^talk 19:13, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Glanduin → Gondor#Fictional geography  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Through a variety of redirections to targets that were later redirected, we get a redirect that's not mentioned anywhere. It wasn't in Gondor proper, IIRC, so the current target isn't appropriate. It appears in the map of Eregion at Geography of Middle-earth, but that seems to be about it. Not sure if retargeting to the minor mention in the (Spanish-language) map or deletion is better, but the current target doesn't work. Hog Farm _Talk 05:05, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• I think we can delete this one, though I agree we could point at Geography of Middle-earth if anyone can be bothered to add a name to the map and a mention to the text. I guess the general point is that Tolkien provided an impression of depth by creating and naming features never used in the tales, but there's only a limited extent to which we can hope to cover those.

The result of the discussion was delete. There is a fairly even disagreement in the early part of the debate as to whether these ordinals are useful as redirects given their apparent appearance in certain old sources. However, the later participation broadly focuses on the fact that, in addition to being rarely-used, these do not appear to be even accurate in some cases. The overall balance of consensus leans towards deleting them, as their confusing ambiguity seemingly outweighs their possible use as search terms for readers of certain old sources. ~ mazca ^talk 12:32, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've never seen anybody, let alone a reliable source, distinguish general Romans by numbers. It all seems arbitrary and gratuitous, not to mention that some of these numbers do not correspond with their chronological order of appearance in history. They should all be deleted. Avilich (talk) 02:56, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete all. The only one of these I think I've ever seen used is Drusus II and even then that's in very old sources and rarely.★Trekker (talk) 11:38, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all. None of them are likely search terms; to the extent that a dictionary or encyclopedia might use numerals to distinguish between homonymous individuals, it doesn't mean that those numerals are meant to be part of their names, and it's unlikely that readers will assume otherwise because of a few occurrences. P Aculeius (talk) 15:09, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep all – The ordinals occur in 19th-century sholarship, e.g. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, copies of which (several editions) are widely spread on the internet – a reader might try to find more updated info on these persons of Roman antiquity in Wikipedia, and that is hampered if it isn't clear exactly who indentifies with whom from the outdated sources to the more modern sources. --Francis Schonken (talk) 09:22, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  These numberings are outdated and inaccurate, I'm not sure if Wikipedia should encourage that. I also don't believe the majority these terms are common enough to make them plausible search terms.★Trekker (talk) 13:55, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Presumably this 19th-century (!) source used ordinals as an ad hoc method to distinguish the relevant persons of the same name, and did not intent to follow or establish a general procedure. Further, as Treker said, they're outdated (scholarship on the Julii Caesares has changed since then) or outright wrong and inaccurate (Tiberius Gracchus and Marcus Porcius Cato). Finally, ordinals are just not commonly used in a way that justifies redirects: already they were probably seldom used in the 19th century and are virtually non-existent in the 21st. An internet search returns basically zero results other than wikipedia mirrors. Avilich (talk) 14:36, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  None of these occur in the work now repeatedly cited or blamed for them—apparently without anyone bothering to check whether it had anything to do with this—it doesn't contain biographical articles at all. To the extent that any dictionary or reference work uses numerals to distinguish between homonymous individuals—a practice still seen in the present day—it's invariably clear that these aren't part of the subject's names, and exist only to distinguish between the entries in the work. It's equally clear that these numbers in Wikipedia are largely the invention of the article creators, who bear the sole responsibility for introducing a confusing and largely useless set of distinctions.

• Keep per Francis Schonken. None of the attempted reubuttal of their vote addresses the reasons why these are useful search terms. Thryduulf (talk) 12:26, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • To give one example: Marcus Portio Cato (II) and Marcus Portio Cato (III) both redirect to the same article, on the son of Cato the Younger, who is in the sixth generation of that name from Cato the Elder. (There are eight articles on men of that name, since the men in the family shared the same names for generations. See Porcia gens#Porcii Catones.) I am unable to find any reliable sources referring to that man by these names. If these names are "widely spread", as is claimed, why are there no journals, books or academic websites where these two names are used to refer to this man? Hits like this one [10] do not use a numeral as a generational marker. That is a paper about Cato the Elder not the son of Cato the Younger, or the third generation of men called Marcus Portio Cato. The numeral denotes that it is the third paper in a series. That is the problem with the supposed source above: even if the numerals exist in the book (even though I am unable to see any), the numerals are not being used as generational markers. These names are entirely made-up. They do not exist anywhere in the academic literature, either now or in the 19th-century. DrKay (talk) 13:50, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete is obviously the best course of action here. @Mikehawk10 and Thryduulf: this is why you should read what others post and do research on the historical individuals in question before stupidly disrupting the work of those who have already done so. Aside from the highly deceptive remark that "none of the attempted rebuttals address the reasons why these are useful search terms" (all of them obviously do), it has already been shown above that these ordinals are outdated, inaccurate, misleading, and chronologically incorrect. One of the persons in question even has multiple ordinals assigned to him, which you'd have known had you simply bothered to look at the list you're giving an opinion on. The ordinals are not supported by the very source cited above and, even if they were, using numbers for a simple ad hoc chronological sorting in a very specific source does not make them appropriate for wider application (I'll say it yet again: internet search results only return Wikipedia mirrors). Avilich (talk) 14:55, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  This is essentially correct, if a bit brusque. Francis Schonken's reasoning is based on a false premise: these particular ordinals do not occur either in antiquity or in modern literature on the subjects. While I cannot rule out the possibility that some reference source provided parenthetical numbers for convenience, they would never have been used in the manner applied here. These numbers are the well-intentioned creation of long-ago Wikipedians who felt they would be useful for distinguishing between homonymous individuals. They are now outmoded and confusing, since there are other ways of achieving the same ends, and the continued use of these numbers risks creating confusion for readers. They have no existence independent from Wikipedia, and so are unlikely to be used as search terms; and there are much easier ways of identifying particular individuals now that we have articles about most important Roman gentes, better guidance for distinguishing between homonymous Romans in article titles (and subsection headers), and clearer redirects than any of these numbers provide. P Aculeius (talk) 15:16, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  You were quite brusque yourself in your first reply above, only now the two respondents had the information on the plate in front of them and still failed to eat the evidence. I wasn't putting much faith that the two would even return here to respond, since they're obviously the type which comments on just about every discussion, and so their votes would just cast needless doubt on what should be done here. The weakness of their position needed to be outlined clearly, lest this be prolonged for yet another week. Avilich (talk) 15:32, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  I think that's putting things a bit strongly—the writer cited a good scholarly work for something absurd that it didn't support in the first place, and I didn't call anybody stupid, disruptive, or deceptive. P Aculeius (talk) 20:17, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Searching on-wiki for the middle one, I only found Richard Bowman (cricketer), which does not seem to be the person in question; the rest does not seem to have any related information on Wikipedia. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 13:36, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete all. I can't find any mention of these cricketers on Wikipedia that these redirects could be retargeted to. For the Bowman redirect I found Alcon Bowman and Richard Bowman (cricketer), but they're Australian and English, and don't seem to have played for the Europeans team. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 14:00, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• America and new zealand → New Zealand–United States relations  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This is an orphaned redirect. Also, this redirect is unnecessary for linking and searching purposes. Another redirect exists with the correct capitalization. JsfasdF252 (talk) 12:42, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as a harmless ((R from incorrect capitalisation)), ((R from move)) and ((R avoided double redirect)). Some methods of finding Wikipedia content are case sensitive and using all lower case is hardly uncommon. Thryduulf (talk) 12:45, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Thryduulf. Note that the nominator moved the redirect to the correct capitalisation, which muddles the history up. Rather than disrupting the history JsfasdF252, you should just create a new redirect with the correct capitalisation. Please keep that in mind in future. — J947 ‡ ^{message ⁓ edits} 00:08, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This was made to test primary topic status, and while the experiment has concluded, the pageview stats are of use if a primary topic debate surrounding this dab page comes up. Given that it's a completely harmless redirect that has potential future use, why delete? — J947 ‡ ^{message ⁓ edits} 00:17, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was disambiguate Digitalization and retarget Digitalisation to the new DAB page. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris ^talk! 03:21, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Digitalization → Digitization  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 
• Digitalisation → Digitization  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Digitalization and Digitization are, according to Gartner's IT glossary and other sources, ([11] and [12] for exemple) 2 different concepts. The first being the use of digital technologies to change a business model and the 2nd being the process of changing from analog to digital form. I believe a better target would be Digital_transformation#Digitalization_(of_industries_and_organizations). SAP actually mentions this redirect here saying that it reinforces the ambiguity between these terms Dom from Paris (talk) 23:51, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment if the two lead to different targets then both targets need hatnotes to the other. Thryduulf (talk) 02:02, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Thryduulf: I'm sorry I don't quite follow. When you say "the two" what do you mean? Digitalization is a redirect but Digitization is a main space article. Dom from Paris (talk) 13:27, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • If entering "Digitalization" and into the search box and pressing go means you end up at a different place than if you'd entered "Digitization" then you should see a hatnote pointing to the other page. Thryduulf (talk) 14:47, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Digitalisation is currently a red link, but it should be created as a redirect to the same place as consensus determines the z spelling should lead. Thryduulf (talk) 14:49, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. There is a hatnote at Digitization to resolve any ambiguity. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 13:40, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Note - I added the UK spelling variant. Ivanvector's squirrel (^trees/_nuts) 19:46, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget both to Digital transformation. "Digitalization" appears zero times in the current target outside of the hatnote. Readers will actually find some information about the term in the "digital transformation" article. Ivanvector's squirrel (^trees/_nuts) 20:03, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Create dab, since apparently digitalization also refers to the administration of digoxin/digitalis. Sources discussing the digitization/digitalization distinction in this RFD, and others (e.g [13]) all concede that laypeople often use the two interchangeably. I don't think it's Wikipedia's place to be this prescriptivist. With three definitions and a different hatnote already at digital transformation, it's probably best to have a DAB page. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 08:01, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've drafted a DAB at digitalization. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 21:53, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Disambiguate Patar knight's draft looks good to me. --BDD (talk) 21:58, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Disambiguate per Patar knight, and of course retarget digitalisation to the dab (((R from British English))). That's the best way to handle this. Ivanvector's squirrel (^trees/_nuts) 14:19, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Disambiguate as per the draft created by Patar the hatnote is not sufficient IMO. Dom from Paris (talk) 13:32, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Disambiguate. Good draft. Retarget Digitalisation to the DAB page as ((R from other spelling)) + ((R from ambiguous term)). Narky Blert (talk) 06:11, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Disambiguate. I've gone ahead with fixing the links to Digitalization that currently exist and it appears that there's about an even split of Digitization vs Digital transformation as the intended target, so a dab is definitely the solution. Lennart97 (talk) 10:29, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
