Deletion. How does Smg4 relate to Meta Runner? SMG4 was already nominated for deletion, and having a redirect to Meta Runner makes no sense. SMBMovieFan (talk) 22:28, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose retarget to category per WP:CLN: Redirects of list articles to categories are highly discouraged: list articles should take the place of the redirect. There was an AfD that resulted in merge. It was merged in a prose format, which still exists at Yaoi#Video games. I think that counts as a list because the paragraph does list a few significant games. Otherwise, a traditional table-style list of some yaoi video games exists at List of yaoi anime and manga#Other media. A final option I'm open to is restoring the list. It was purged of non-notable entries during the AfD, which made it a bit short (11 entries). If we can get more sourcing for the non-notable entries, it could actually be a nice list. --Tavix(talk) 14:15, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, I don't exactly know where this should go to, but it definitely should not be redirecting to a TV show. "Swollen eyeball" can be used to describe the swelling around the eye (not the eye itself since it can't really swell, tho most people just refer to their eye swelling and not the area around it). ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:07, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note that this was the original title, which was changed after an AfD, and a source in the initial revision (now a dead URL, seemingly after the website was bought by ESPN) seems to give it as a nickname. jp×g 06:59, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Given it was the original title, and the nickname is used in some coverage, I'd say keep. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 18:50, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - despite being incredibly offensive, the name does appear to have been used - two of the current article sources have -that word- in their titles (I will not be googling to double check). Therefore, it seems to be a possible search term. ‡ El cid, el campeadortalk 18:55, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding sources used in the current article, see my reply to A7V2 below. – Scyrme (talk) 14:23, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:RDELETE, point 3. Calling this "a bit odd" is an understatement. Just because some people have used this "nickname" doesn't mean Wikipedia should reproduce it. – Scyrme (talk) 22:43, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as this seems to be a name used to refer to him. WP:RNEUTRAL applies. Also was the title of this article for a year. A7V2 (talk) 23:56, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"Non-neutral" and "offensive" are two different matters. Regardless, the AfD moved the article because reliable sources refer to him as "Ernie". In-fact, WP:RNEUTRAL (last paragraph) explicitly gives this as a valid reason for deleting the old title, particularly in cases of point 3 which I cited earlier. The sources cited in the article that refer to him by the previous title are a permanent dead link with no working archive (unverifiable, reliability can't be assessed) and what is basically a blog (not reliable). That casual racists with no self-awareness have used this term in informal contexts does not mean this redirect should be kept. – Scyrme (talk) 14:20, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This just reads as WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. People called him this. We shouldn't go out of our way to make it harder for someone to find this article. I don't know where the name comes from but it is used in at least one reliable source, the "permanent dead link" from the article [1], so presumably the fact that the players association website also uses it [2] means this name was used. What benefit comes from deletion? No-one will see this except people clicking "what links here" or people searching this. A7V2 (talk) 23:55, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't remotely see how WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS applies. Everything I've argued complies with the guidance at Wikipedia:Redirect, including WP:RDELETE and WP:RNEUTRAL. Nothing I've said is leading ahead of the sources; the reliable sources that call him "Ernie" (and in-fact there are old newspaper columns dating to the 1940s that do so, so this isn't remotely new). I wasn't able to find that archive you linked to because the domain had changed; I've now updated the link in the article. This means the one reliable source is dead but is accessible through an archive, so it can be verified. Note that WP:RNEUTRAL requires multiple reliable sources, not just one. However, the updated ESPN page also calls him "Ernie", so even the one reliable source we have has moved on. – Scyrme (talk) 12:18, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
""Non-neutral" and "offensive" are two different matters", "That casual racists with no self-awareness have used this term in informal contexts does not mean this redirect should be kept." - this is why I mentioned rightgreatwrongs. I'm not going to go into the reasons for this as they may be incorrect (and perhaps not WP:AGF on my part) but I think are obvious enough (in terms of my interpretation of what you were saying). In any case I apologise for that. That all said, I don't believe that a reliable source using this name in the past would be for no reason. Given there is no actual benefit from deletion advanced thus far (how can something no-one will see be offensive?) we should keep this as a valid search term. I don't agree that WP:RFD#D3 applies either since my reading of it is that the redirect would need to be offensive to the person, and there is no evidence of that here. A7V2 (talk) 23:14, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not convinced that it only has to be a offensive to the subject of the article to qualify, that's just the example given, but I can understand why you might read it that way since the guidance doesn't explicitly say anything either way. Unless there's guidance elsewhere which affirms one interpretation over the other, I think we're stuck here. Best to get more opinions. – Scyrme (talk) 23:40, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for lack of coverage in reliable sources. I have no problem in principle with redirects containing profanity or slurs. However: [3] does not appear to be a reliable source, and a since-revised database entry is not enough coverage to justify a potentially inflammatory redirect. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 05:27, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget both to Cheating in video games. Exploits are simply features of games that are taken advantage of. Cheating can involve actually hacking the game, and 'hack' appears several times on the cheating page. Therefore it is the more suitable target imo. ‡ El cid, el campeadortalk 21:03, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Cheating in video games or potentially create one as a DAB considering it could also refer to ROM hacking.
