• George Traut Austin → wikispecies:George Traut Austin  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

While I can somewhat understand having redirects to wiktionary (as dicdefs are out of scope, but can be useful for jargon), why would we redirect for biographies? Either a person is notable, and should have an article here; or they aren't notable, but then we shouldn't outsource to a different site with different standards. This seems like a backdoor mechanism to have biographies of people included without having to care about our policies. It also obscures what would otherwise be redlinks iff the person is notable.

Also nominated for the same reason are all other similar pages:

• Hermann Heinrich Hacker → species:Hermann Heinrich Hacker  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

• David John Lawrence Agassiz → species:David John Lawrence Agassiz  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

However, it is completely unclear to me what syntax to use to group multiple soft redirects under one RfD, so any help is welcome!

• Keep per AfD discussion; sister projects don't count as "different websites" like Facebook or YouTube do. With that out of the way, there's no reason why the DICDEF case for Wiktionary as cited by the nom can't generalize. I created the Dugdale page back in 2019 as it was on Special:WantedPages or something similar, and his links were/are all in citations for the species he had described. Since the nom says that the Wiktionary stuff can be useful for jargon, these citations can themselves be useful for biologists looking for other species described by the same person who would not otherwise be notable enough for a full standalone article. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 15:24, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why wouldn't "sister" websites count as different websites? They have different people, different rules, different purposes. Just because the WMF is involved with them as well is not really a good reason to give them preferential treatment. Using this backdoor to have articles for people who aren't notable enough for enwiki isn't something which should be encouraged but should be stopped. What next, soft redirects to this page because having 300+Kb of quotes from copyrighted works isn't allowed on enwiki, but could be useful for someone, and it is a sister project after all? Fram (talk) 15:44, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Fram The fact that the WMF is involved is exactly why we should give them preferential treatment, which we do in fact already do; "country codes" and sister project codes like TT: and Q: are treated very similarly to normal namespaces on enwiki even when that leads to problems like the inability to have a "Template talk:" shortcut or having to tweak titles such as Q. Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!. Sure, they might have different policies regarding stuff like copyright, etc., but those are relative minutiae compared to the principles all of the WMF-sphere shares, and it is quite incorrect to say that they all have "different purposes"; all WMF projects are about disbursing knowledge to humanity, and keeping soft redirects such as these aid in that purpose as others have said and as you yourself noted with Wiktionary. If I were wrong about this, they wouldn't be called "sister projects" and be displayed on the Main Page. In essence, to answer your question about the Wikiquote example I would use the blond-hair "Yes" meme guy if such usage were encyclopedic, which is what these redirects in question are; indeed, guidelines dictate the use of sister-project links when they are useful to the reader. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 20:14, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Note only the first redirect was tagged and correctly listed, which I've now fixed. Thryduulf (talk) 18:03, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as a group. Short on time right now, but: The plain ((soft redirect)) template is not used in the mainspace (along the lines of the sentiment expressed at WP:SOFTSP). Thus, Template:Wikispecies redirect exists for any occurrence that may arise in the mainspace. That aside, I recently began sorting through wikispecies:Category:Taxa by author to determine if any other worthy cases exist; e.g. David John Lawrence Agassiz is mentioned in ~50 articles, but we do not (perhaps yet) cover him in the encyclopedia. A debate on the merit of the template itself might be due (though if it is deemed inappropriate then we would effectively never soft redirect to Wikispecies). Alternatively, whether or not a particular redirect meets an adequate bar might be something to discuss. However, I strongly oppose wholesale writing off of this sort of redirect as a concept. Lastly, I strongly disagree with the notion that the template is only useful for species themselves (though that is a bit out of scope anyhow). — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 17:47, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep or retarget to a local page. Sister project links, just like external links, should provide some value for those looking for information about the topic in an encyclopaedia. In the case of a dictionary definition that benefit is usually clear. In the case of a link to WikiSpecies from an encyclopaedia article about a species (or genus, etc) that benefit is also clear, similarly for a link from a biography from someone who named multiple species to WikiSpecies is clearly useful. Someone looking up the name of a person on Wikipedia is looking for a biography of them and/or an encyclopaedia article about whatever it is they are notable for, so the question is whether the information at the target is useful for someone in that position, and having looked at the targets I think it is. If they are mentioned in greater detail somewhere on en.wp (I haven't looked) then retargetting there would be preferable but the soft redirects are better than deletion.

The result of the discussion was no consensus (default to revert/unrefine). There was clear consensus in August to keep at Body of Christ, no section link, despite the lack of an explicit mention; I don't see consensus here to overturn that. Thryduulf makes a good point that a DAB may be viable here, and this close does not prevent any user from creating one. Normally a no-consensus close would mean that we keep, but, in this case, as the current target was picked in knowing defiance of the previous RfD, the default is to revert.

• Brothers and Sisters in Christ → Body of Christ#The Church  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I do not know what this redirect is supposed to refer to. It also has capital letters which may designate an organisation which is not mentioned in the article. The expression is only alluded to once in the article ("The Body of Christ, broken in the sacred liturgy, can be seen, through charity and sharing, in the faces and persons of the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters"), and not within the section targetted. The redirect seems too vague to do anything with it. I think therefore the redirect should be deleted. Veverve (talk) 15:10, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Disambig There is an organisation with this exact name [1] (often abbreviated "B.A.S.I.C.") who appear at first look to be non-notable, but some people associated with them are notable (e.g. Bob Warren (basketball)). Their website uses the term "Body of Christ" a couple of times in their about section in a manner that suggests it's the name of something specific, but I don't know what. Uncapitalised, "Brothers and sisters in Christ" appears to be a term meaning "fellow Christians" or possibly "fellow active Christians", and this is the meaning that I think is intended at Christian fraternity#Concepts. Complicating matters further, there are multiple mentions of "The Christadelphians (Brothers and Sisters in Christ)", but it is not mentioned at the Christadelphians article at all, and Maria de Lourdes Martins Cruz#Biography mentions that "In 1989 she returned [to East Timor] to start a lay order the Brothers and Sisters in Christ." which is a different organisation to the first one which was founded in the United States in 2016. Women's Ordination Worldwide#History mentions yet another organisation - "In 2001, Ireland's Brothers and Sisters in Christ (now merged with We Are Church Ireland)...". I'm getting the impression that there is scope for a disambiguation page here, but I don't understand enough to write it. I would say that the term is primary topic for the lowercase, with a hatnote to a disambig at this capitalisation. Thryduulf (talk) 17:43, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Thryduulf: the B.A.S.I.C. website probably uses capital letters at "Body of Christ" as a form of honorific, the ones used when referring to something held in high regards. Veverve (talk) 18:19, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
