Bs
- 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 keep per WP:SNOW. Basically withdrawing my own nomination. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 23:10, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't this be retargeted to Bullshit instead of targeting the DAB? CycloneYoris talk! 23:53, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as is there are multiple things on the dab page that are or can be "Bs" and (as near as can tell from a case insensitive search engines) there is no primary topic among them. Thryduulf (talk) 00:37, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Could just as well refer to .bs, bs (programming language), the Bosnian language, or probably a few others. -- Tamzin (she/they) | o toki tawa mi. 00:47, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Too ambiguous to target to any particular article. Jay (Talk) 05:09, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep several potential targets are already covered in the dab. There's no evidence that bullshit is the primary target --Lenticel (talk) 06:32, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Because I work in academia, my first thought for "Bs" is bachelor of science. Targeting BS is always good with something so ambiguous. Nyttend backup (talk) 21:53, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pride of Portree and other quidditch teams
29 other redirects from individual quidditch teams

Delete none of these teams are mentioned in the target article or anywhere else I've seen. Some of them previously targetted British and Irish Quidditch teams or List of Quidditch teams but those articles were redirected to the main article in 2007 citing Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Harry Potter task force/Notability. The "Professional Quidditch teams" section some of them target was removed from the article with this edit by MissTimeturner in February 2017, which also removed the mention of these teams. Thryduulf (talk) 23:15, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep at least those that can be usefully mentioned in the target article; articles are unlikely to be justified, but team names are plausible search terms for those not up on Harry Potter. I've found news coverage justifying adding unbolded mentions of Ballycastle Bats, Falmouth Falcons, Holyhead Harpies, Montrose Magpies, Pride of Portree, Wigtown Wanderers, Chudley Cannons and Puddlemere United, removed the redlink on West Midlands Revolution (mentioned as winning a championship, albeit without a ref) and created a redirect for it. Yngvadottir (talk) 02:24, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Unless they actually are mentioned in the article, and I have my doubts that any mention would be WP:DUE, then the redirects are misleading. This level of detail about fictional worlds is something that we should be leaving to specialist sources. Thryduulf (talk) 22:51, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
2021–22 Danish 2nd Divisions
Delete this redirect, Danish 2nd Division is now a single group, 3rd Division created as new Danish 4th tier. Santiago Claudio (talk) 13:42, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fuck (monograph)
Unlike the article/paper nomination below, in this case the disambiguation is at least correct: Fuck: Word Taboo and Protecting Our First Amendment Liberties is indeed a monograph. That said, I don't see any reliable sources referring to is such, and there's lots of semi-obscure terms for a work that we could use as disambiguators but don't. Delete, more strongly in the case of the nonstandardly-formatted one. -- Tamzin (she/they) | o toki tawa mi. 08:24, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 13:12, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply] - Delete - per nom. And like you said, we could also make a page at Fuck (treatise), Fuck (discourse), &c. But just because it is technically accurate does not mean a DAB is needed (no one is searching for this - both pages have 112 views combined since July 2015). Forgivably, someone was over-zealous in making redirects for this target, but they should now be put to rest. ‡ El cid, el campeador talk 18:16, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete both: unnecessary & unlikely search term. --K.e.coffman (talk) 16:51, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep the first one. (The second is a bit implausibly formatted.) In what sense is this not a monograph? All normal publications (which this is) are monographs or serials, or are components of them. Merely the existence of an ISBN demonstrates that it's a monograph — if it were a serial, it would have an ISSN — as well as the fact that WorldCat lists it as a print book, not a serial of any sort. Barring cataloguing errors, anything listed in WorldCat as a print book or electronic book is a monograph. Nyttend backup (talk) 21:57, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I think everyone's in agreement that this is a monograph. The question is if we need a redirect that uses this qualifier, when it's a fairly niche term that as far as I can tell no one's ever applied specifically to this particular book nor to the paper that preceded it. It's WP:COSTLY to maintain too many redirects from synonyms that readers are unlikely to use as qualifiers. -- Tamzin (she/they) | o toki tawa mi. 22:09, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- No one? As I said, go to WorldCat: this is the standard way to refer to it, not a niche term. Nyttend backup (talk) 10:36, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
School leavers
I had not heard this term before, but Collins says that it's the British equivalent of the American "high school graduates". High school graduate points to Secondary school, so I think this should too. School-leaving age is also of note, but seems broader-concept than may be wanted. (For whatever reason, only the plural form has been created here; if the singular form hasn't been created by the end of this RfD, I'll create it and sync it with however this is closed.) -- Tamzin (she/they) | o toki tawa mi. 08:07, 1 July 2021 (UTC) edited for clarity 18:47, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
PC World (Store)
To Currys plc. KamranBhatti4013 (talk) 05:11, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose Curry's is linked in the target, nomination doesn't provide sufficient justification for the change. Polyamorph (talk) 07:59, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete. Generally, I don't see nonstandardly-capitalized disambiguators as worth redirecting, unless they're getting substantial pageviews (which this very much is not). -- Tamzin (she/they) | o toki tawa mi. 18:43, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep entirely harmless ((R from move)). The article was a this title for the first three months of its existence. Thryduulf (talk) 23:34, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong keep. Why would we change a redirect target from an article that deals with the subject specifically to a broader one? Note this is a ((R from move)) - the target as at this title for about 3 months. Thryduulf (talk) 23:36, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Radiogrill
Deleting redirect page due to Walmart. KamranBhatti4013 (talk) 04:30, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Added Radio Grill. These pointed to a short-lived section in the target article: it was added to the article in July 2008, expanded somewhat thereafter, and removed in September 2008. FWIW the section was reasonably well-sourced (particularly by the standards of 2008), though pretty clearly there's no other article where it would work as a subsection, nor was there not enough material there for us to expand this redirect into its own article. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 12:45, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed carbon
This originally targeted Carbon fixation but was boldly retargeted to its current target relating to coal. First, I am not sure fixed carbon and char are true synonyms, and the term seems most used in the context of Coal analysis, where it is defined. Retargeting could be considered, but I believe there is no primary topic here and I favor the creation of a disambiguation page. Mdewman6 (talk) 02:02, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
