Quantity of electricity
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 phrase "quantity of electricity" was historically used to refer to a quantity of electric charge, but is ambiguous because "electricity" now has the meaning of a "set of physical phenomena", as explained on Etymology of electricity and Electricity. It could be a disambig page instead. — Omegatron (talk) 16:49, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging Spinningspark for possible input as I believe this is within the realm of their knowledge. Steel1943 (talk) 21:09, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the ping. The standard symbol for electric charge is still (standing for quantity), as is the cumulative amount of electricity delivered by a source such as a battery (measured in units of charge). It's a similar situation to the symbol for electric current; everyone has forgotten what the stands for (intensity of current). As the target of the redirect says, "quantity of electricity" is now an ambiguous term. It will more often mean, especially in an informal context, the amount of electrical energy consumed rather than the ampere-hours consumed. The target of the redirect explains this adequately, I see no reason not to keep it. It should be targeted to the specific section though, so retarget to Etymology of electricity#"Quantity of electricity". Having said that, it's slightly off topic in that article, but offhand I can't think of a better place to put it.SpinningSpark 14:29, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is a leftover from a move back in 2010 to fix a spelling mistake in the title, because of which it doesn't seem to be getting very many pageviews since 2015, and that doesn't have meaningful history besides that. Delete this unless someone can provide a justification or a suitable alternative course of action. Regards, SONIC678 19:41, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The title is too ambiguous to refer to the FIFA World Cup, retarget to 1994 in the United States or weak delete.) - Ricciardo Best (talk) 10:04, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. Without prejudice to the creation of a standalone article, or to expand the current target if necessary. (non-admin closure)CycloneYoristalk! 21:42, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for now as there are discussions about crypto assets in the target. I've no prejudice against the creation of a standalone article. --Lenticel(talk) 10:53, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep since NFTs are mentioned at the target. Perhaps there should be an article, but making this a redlink to encourage article creation would not be helpful here. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:35, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Opinion We can restore this version to encourage article expansion. Cryptopia (talk) 05:33, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The merge to target happened per Talk:Cryptocurrency/Archive 2#Proposed merge from Crypto asset, and David Gerard had said We can split the article out again if third-party RSes show up. The latest restoration attempt two days back was reverted by Pppery who said as far as I can tell the sources have not improved since the previous merge.... Jay 💬 13:43, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
yeah, the sources aren't here yet. The best encouragement to expansion will be sources sufficient to make a separate article worth the effort - David Gerard (talk) 15:13, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was soft redirect to Wikt:facetious. Jay 💬 11:22, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This should probably be a soft redirect to Wiktionary, as that seems more helpful to anyone searching the term than current target. An anonymous username, not my real name 06:49, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Refined oil

The result of the discussion was Disambiguate, retarget, and keep.
Both petroleum oil and vegetable oil can be refined, so it shouldn't be assumed the "oil" refers to one or the other. Oil covers all types, but only mentions refining in passing. Oil refinery is only about petroleum, but that seems OK to me. Not sure about these six redirects though. MB 04:52, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Target 1, 2, 3 to to Petroleum product and use ((hatnote|Several terms redirect here. For refining of edible oil, see Edible oil refining.)). Delete 4, 5, 6 because I can't see these terms used in either target article. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:47, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguate 1 (Refined oil) and retarget 2, 3, 5, 6 to 1. Keep 4 since it doesn't make sense to bleach or deodorize petroleum. There are plenty of Google hits for each of these so no need to delete any of them. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:37, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure which is better. I guess I would follow the example of those other redirects and link to Oil refinery, but I don't feel strongly. —Mx. Granger (talk·contribs) 14:24, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
While having Oil refinery will make it consistent, it will become a problem retargeting 2 and 3 to the dab since those redirects have "product" in the name, with their current targets appearing as better targets than the dab. Jay 💬 16:36, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe we could include both links in the disambiguation page, each with its own line. That would probably be the most useful solution for readers. The current target for those two (Petroleum product) isn't very good, due to the ambiguity between different types of oil. —Mx. Granger (talk·contribs) 05:06, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. Jay 💬 10:14, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Musician-to-band redirect for a musician not named in the band's article to provide any context for why he redirects there. To be fair, at the time this was created his name was in the article with a claim that he was a very shortlived early member when the band was first formed but left before the band had actually attained any notability -- but that was later removed as unsourced and unsourceable, and the name has never returned to the article since. So there's no point in retaining this if its original purpose is impossible for us to verify. Bearcat (talk) 15:41, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Note to closer (in case the outcome is to delete): the talk page lists 3 prior deletion discussions, none of which are for the musician, hence it may be moved back to Talk:Brandon Roberts. The talk page move may have happened when Tassedethe moved the corresponding page, probably as part of a disambiguation effort. Jay 💬 17:45, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Pseudoephedra" is not a term that as far as I tell is widely used for Pseudoephedrine. I checked google scholar [1], and there were no results. In 2015, a genus of extinct plant was given this name [2] so it cannot be considered an unambiguous redirect. Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:22, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Swedish speaker here to describe the mess. Kristne is an inflected form of kristen, the adjective for 'Christian' in Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian (in Danish and Norwegian the corresponding noun is either definite or in the plural, but in Swedish it has to be both definite, singular, and semantically male). Kristendommen is another inflected form (here it's the definite noun, corresponding roughly to "the Christianity" in English). The catch for kristendommen is that it's only the correct spelling in Denmark and Norway; we use kristendomen for that form in Sweden. Kristendom is the correctly spelled lemma for Christianity in all three languages.
Kristendom is a reasonable search term, but if kept, we'll have to convert it to disambiguation page that points to the articlesforChristianity in all three countries (a bit like how we already handle the shared words Norge, dansk etc.). Kristendommen is slightly less plausible since it's an inflected form, and will also have to be disambiguated (probably by redirecting it to a hypothetical Kristendom (disambiguation)). Kristne is probably the least useful due to how specific it is as an inflected adjective; if we really want to keep that one (I'm fine with deleting it), we should add links about Christianity in Scandinavia to Kristen and then redirect it there.
