Delete by the same logic as the nomination below. (in this case also applies to Wilson Pickett, much more famous). UnitedStatesian (talk) 23:14, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

implausible search term (only had 6 hits in 2020), especially because if you already know something as arcane as a birth date, why would you need help getting to the guy's page? Nohomersryan (talk) 23:03, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kobe (basketball player)

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 retarget to Kobe (disambiguation) as the option most likely to satisfy a majority of participants. Deletion is, marginally, the numerically most popular option, with participants arguing this is an unnatural disambiguator, that was created relatively recently. The further issue that seems to be significant, both for those arguing for deletion and for retargeting to the dab page, is that this results in unnecessary hatnote clutter on Kobe Bryant to deal with another, relatively minor, basketball player that this incomplete disambiguation requires. There is no argument with the fact that Kobe Bryant is the primary topic for basketball players named Kobe - and the valid argument by the keep voters that this is a plausible search term is also clearly valid: Kobe Bryant is not as mononymous as some other examples, but is clearly referred to as "Kobe" somewhat regularly in the media.
This is a balance of arguments, none of which are actually incorrect. Using the disambiguation page ultimately solves the concern about the hatnote, while also still providing a navigation tool for anyone that does use this search term. ~ mazca talk 18:43, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is ambiguous and requires a really unnecessary hatnote on Kobe Bryant. power~enwiki (π, ν) 22:37, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP uses parenthetical disambiguation because multiple articles can't be at the same title. That internal practice might somewhat aid an experienced editor in searching for the article on Kobe Bryant, if they could correctly surmise what the disambiguator might be, and in the unlikely event that they choose not to first try Kobe and follow the hatnote there. Any normal reader searching on "Kobe (basketball player)" is very unlikely. MB 01:44, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @MB: most experienced editors and readers (and all good editors are also readers) are familiar with how Wikipedia titles articles, it's one reason why we have ((R from other disambiguation)), ((R from incomplete disambiguation)) and ((R from unnecessary disambiguation)) redirects, so using a parenthetical in a search term is extremely plausible. As for not trying Kobe first, perhaps, like me, they expect Kobe to be an article on the major Japanese city (which it is) and don't want to visit two unnecessary pages to find the article they are looking for. That leaves the question whether "(basketball player)" is a plausible disambiguator for a person most notable for playing basketball and I genuinely cannot conceive of a reason why it would not be.

Target has been changed back and forth from Trombicula to Trombiculidae, both known as Chiggers. Both articles currently have a hatnote that says it is the redirect target. Pointing to Chigger (disambiguation) would solve this if there is no agreement here on a PT. MB 22:01, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Given that many other variants of this redirect (appropriately) exist, this one, with the trailing full stop, is not useful, and it is certainly WP:COSTLY to make the error of adding full stops to non-abbreviated words. UnitedStatesian (talk) 22:28, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:UNNATURAL. The article existed under this title for three minutes before being moved to the correctly parenthesised version, Bustan Ketab (publishing) (and later to the title without disambiguation). 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 12:19, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment: I just noticed that this is actually a recreation of the initial redirect, which was speedily deleted by Victuallers in June this year. G1 should probably have not applied there, fair enough. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 12:22, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this was a 9 year old redirect, we should only delete old redirects if they are harmful. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 13:46, 31 December 2020 (UTC).[reply]
Delete. Old means before Wikipedia conventions were standardized, such as the consensus to keep old CamelCase redirects. 9 years ago was 2011, which is not old enough. HotdogPi 18:48, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's only a very small part of what "old" means. "Old" just means that it has been around long enough that there are likely to be external links that would be unnecessarily broken and/or significant use in old revisions or other historical aspects that should not be deleted without a significantly good reason. Depending on the circumstances than can be as little as a few months or many years, for truly implausible redirects that have never seen any use it's unlikely to ever happen. I've not evaluated this specific redirect yet. Thryduulf (talk) 21:04, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
External links are likely if the page actually existed under this name for some time. Given that this page bore this name for three minutes, it is more likely for someone to introduce an error in the link while copying it, for which there are too many (equally "likely") possibilities that don't exist. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 21:05, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no matter how old, errors of this general type (mismatched opening and closing parens.) provide no value. UnitedStatesian (talk) 22:30, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
UnitedStatesian How does deleting it provide value? All the best: Rich Farmbrough 12:18, 8 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]
Removal of errors from Wikipedia, whether factual or typographical, is of tremendous value. UnitedStatesian (talk) 13:30, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It is a commonly accepted practice to have redirects from typos. These are not classified as "errors". All the best: Rich Farmbrough 03:50, 9 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Both originally nominated for speedy deletion by @UnitedStatesian with the reason "rdr should not have been kept after userfication" FASTILY 03:33, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete both: Draft-to-userspace redirects provide no value and so are nearly universally deleted (or their creation suppressed when pages are moved from draftspace to userspace). UnitedStatesian (talk) 13:47, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
