• BJay Pak → B. J. Pak  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Subject’s name is properly spelled BJay, not B.J., as reflected throughout his biographical article and in all source links. But the main article title cannot be corrected with a simple Move, because there is also an extant redirect page with the name BJay.

So I believe that in order to fix this misspelling, the redirect page will need to first be deleted, so the main article can then be moved and a new redirect created. Ultimately, the main article needs to be Moved to “BJay Pak” while the redirect should be “B.J. Pak”. Lorencollins (talk) 23:22, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Lorencollins In this case, there are several options.

• Propose a WP:RM on the page would be the primary option, as a page mover could move it if consensus is found.
• If you are 100% sure the move couldn't reasonably be considered controversial, use WP:RMT for a technical move request OR
• tag the redirect with ((Db-move)), in order to speedily delete the redirect to facilitate the move (must be uncontroversial).

Although, looking at it, it doesn't look like it would be uncontroversial, so WP:RM is likely the best option.  – CityUrbanism 🗩 🖉 09:38, 9 April 2023 (UTC) struck per WP:STRIKESOCK Duckmather (talk) 04:28, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Sm. → James Edward Smith (botanist)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This two-letter combination is too common to resolve to a taxonomic abbreviation of any one person. "Sm." is used to indicate "Smith" in dozens of author abbreviations, and can also refer to "Small" or the chemical element Samarium. BD2412 T 02:34, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to SM and add the abbreviations there -- 65.92.244.249 (talk) 07:53, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep – Per the provided article, James Edward Smith and only he is referred to as "Sm." alone without specifying the first and/or middle name as an abbreviation or otherwise. This is standardised within taxonomy, so pure "Sm." without anything before it will always refer to James Edward Smith, making it unambiguous in a taxonomic context. The taxonomic definition of "Sm." also appears to be the primary topic, so the current target is preferable. The target article already links to SM (disambiguation) as well, though the list of taxonomic authorities named Smith can be added to the hatnote. Also note that this redirect is already used in a large quantity of botanical articles to refer to James Edward Smith, so any change to it would result in having to adjust all these articles.

Gareth Richards is not Frank Skinner. Taking the name of a person who’s (apparently?) just died, and making it a redirect to a different person who’s still alive – especially a person in a field where pseudonyms are not uncommon, so readers might assume the two names refer to the same person after all – is IMHO much worse than a redlink.

An entrepreneur is a person, not a farm.

• Template:G14 → Template:G-14  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I think this should be retargeted to template:Db-g14, for consistency with ((G1)), ((G2)), ((G3)) ... ((G12)) ((G13)). All these other G## redirects are speedy deletion related, and it's inconvenient/confusing to have one that behaves differently.

• Yungur language → Bena language (Adamawa)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Apparently this is also an alternative name of Voro language (Adamawa). 1234qwer1234qwer4 18:05, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Bena–Mboi languages: Yungur appears to be an alternate name for this language branch, of which both Bena and Yoro are a part, as well as a number of others which are also linked from there. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 20:21, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Leave as is. It appears that this is an old name applied to Bena, with only Voro also occasionally called that, and we have a hat link. E.g. the ISO code is [yun], and Glottolog calls Bena and Voro together "Yungur-Voro", and according to Blench the derivatives Yangur and Yungirba are specifically Bena. Note also that "Bena" is also used for Voro. That is, the two languages are not always distinguished. It's not uncommon for a language name to spill over onto a closely related lect, esp. if it's sometimes considered a dialect of the same language or if the first language is regionally dominant and so taken as the default. So it would seem that [yun] is both "Bena proper" and "Yungur proper", with clarification needed if we mean Voro. In fact, it would seem that "Bena" is more ambiguous than "Yungur", as according to Blench it's also used for the next closest language, Lala.

Yes, Yungur is also a label for the branch, which is why Yungur languages plural is a rd there. But that's a common situation on WP and for the sg I think the hat note is sufficient. — kwami (talk) 20:45, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
