• Gregory Wall → Jenkintown, Pennsylvania  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This was a stub article for political figure who does not pass WP:NPOL who was the mayor of the municipality targeted until it was WP:BLARred 15 years ago, but he is not not currently mentioned at the target. It seems this would be best deleted unless a suitable target can be found. TartarTorte 23:43, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Delete - I definitely would have !vote'd keep when he was in office. Now that he's not, I'm waffling whether or not a redirect is still useful. I kinda wish more wikipedians embraced Wikipedia:Gazetteer instead of Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a gazetteer so that we could have a quick sub-article simply listing all the mayors of this town, but alas. Even without such an article, redirects are WP:CHEAP which makes me lean more towards keeping... but what pushes me just SLIGHTLY over the edge to deletion is that it's plausible that other people have this name, would search their name, and be utterly confused as to why this town comes up. If it was more likely that people were looking for THIS guy specifically, I'd definitely say keep, mention or no mention, but as it is, I just barely think it's more useful for the redirect to not exist than for it to exist. Fieari (talk) 02:17, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I would be more than ok with an article like List of mayors of Jenkintown existing as it would be useful providing information. If that were to exist, (or is created), I would fully support a retarget there. TartarTorte 12:15, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect number in redirect title, should redirect to 5000 (number)#5300 to 5399. Colgatepony234 (talk) 23:10, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Week keep - Somewhat plausible misinterpretation of the name, thinking "Five", "Thirty" and "Eight" are individual numbers. Plus, there's no mention or the number 5308 in the proposed section. Not every number in that range must redirect to the proposed section. For example 5304 just doesn't exist. Estar8806 (talk) 01:58, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tsunamis not mentioned at all in target article; also tsunamis usually involve water, not lava, so I suggest a deletion. Colgatepony234 (talk) 22:33, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - Searching google for "tsunami lava" (with quotes) returns a fair number of news articles talking about "lava tsunamis".

• Linder system → Podewils gun  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I don't see a particular system that's named after Linder. There is mention of a Lindner conversion but that could also go to German military rifles / Gas-operated reloading or Al Lindner's religious conversion. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 18:26, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It was my own spelling mistake: it should be named Lindner system instead. There is a detailed description of this historical gun conversion system (muzzleloaders to breechloaders) in the Italian book Le armi portatili dell'impero Austro-Ungarico 1 (The small arms of the Austro-Hungarian empire, first half), pages 45-47, together with some ilustrations of the said weapons. ^[1]--DrMako (talk) 00:28, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Should it redirect to breechloaders with a section on how it was a conversion from muzzleloaders? Are there other Lindner conversions or is it primary to Podewils guns? AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 04:54, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lindner system is a rifle conversion system: it was experimented with in Austria, but it was used in large quantities only in Bavaria, for the said Podewils guns. That way, the terms Lindner rifle and Podewils rifle are almost synonims (the same book, page 48). DrMako (talk) 07:57, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We could rename the page Lindner conversion system, or Lindner action (firearms), or Lindner rifle, just for more clarity and precission. DrMako (talk) 08:00, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I also think that the original, misspelled redirect (Linder system) should be deleted, as it was created by me, and has only two related articles, which I have already corrected. DrMako (talk) 08:10, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If the system will be described in Podewils, then all the terms above can be redirected there and they can be bolded. If it needs its own article, you can spin that off too. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 17:34, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear if readers looking up these terms are intending to locate GRU (Soviet Union) or GRU (Russian Federation). Looks like the terms could refer to either. Steel1943 (talk) 20:08, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There's a disambiguating hatnote at GRU (Russian Federation) pointing to GRU (Soviet Union), our usual method to disambiguate two identially named topics for as long as they don't warrant the introduction of a dedicated disambiguation page. So, from the perspective of redirects, everything is perfect. No need to change anything. (It might be a different topic to discuss if the two topics should be discussed in one article, but that should be left to the topic experts working on these articles, not us at RfD.) --Matthiaspaul (talk) 09:16, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for not addressing the ambiguous problem at all. In addition, several of the incoming links to these redirects refer to the other target, so the current situation definitely doesn't help. Steel1943 (talk) 17:56, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As I wrote, for as long as a disambigution page isn't warranted our usual method to deal with such ambiguaties is to disambiguate them via hatnotes. This applies to the article topic itself as well as to incoming redirects.

If you think the issue is strong enough to warrant a disambiguation page, one of the redirects could be changed into a disambiguation page and the other redirects be pointed there. This would improve searches and navigation.

Additionally, the problem of pointing to the wrong article could be solved by creating pairs of redirects with parenthetical disambiguators " (Russian Federation)" and " (Soviet Union)", so that the desired target could be pointed to directly without piping. This would improve linking and reverse lookup possibilities.

As I sort of alluded below, I'm teetering on believing that a disambiguation page may be necessary since it really is not clear which topic a reader on the English Wikipedia is attempting to locate when searching these terms. However, that would then result in some other issues, the primary one being which of these redirects represent the title which the disambiguation page should be at, since it is not all clear which one of these spellings is the most common in English texts. To your latter point, I really do not think that targeting one over the other is really helpful since ... ever since these articles were renamed as they were (these articles may have split from one article in the past, but I'm not finding anything of the such at the moment), apparently the nominated phrase in all its renditions could refer to either target with no clear preference for one over the other in regards to readers of the English Wikipedia. So ... either way, unless a primary topic is determined for these phrases, the best route probably is to disambiguate in one form or another. Steel1943 (talk) 23:31, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This would be one of the possibilities (I don't know which of the spelling variants would be the preferred one for the disambiguation page title).

Yet another alternative would be to redirect all these redirects to the GRU (Soviet Union) article given that the GRU (Russian Federation) article states that what is "still commonly known by its previous abbreviation GRU" is now named "Glavnoje upravlenije General'nogo shtaba Vooruzhonnykh sil Rossiyskoy Federatsii". If this is true (I don't know) "Glavnoye Razvedyvatel'noye Upravleniye" (and variants) seem to refer only to GRU (Soviet Union), strictly speaking, indicating a primary topic.

--Matthiaspaul (talk) 16:35, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the solution would be to link to Gru (disambiguation) § Soviet Union and Russia as an ((r to initialism)) and ((r to section)). Is that acceptable, given that these aren't really simple variations of "gru"?

An alternative target would be Main Intelligence Directorate as an ((r from language)) and ((r from romanization)). – Scyrme (talk) 20:44, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a fan of having any situation where an ambiguous term targets a disambiguation page where it's not a title/spelling match to the target page's title since the redirect doesn't represent every subject on the page, but it may have to be done here. A related alternative, and possibly my preferred option, would be to turn one of these into a disambiguation page, so maybe that's the play here? Steel1943 (talk) 21:35, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and readd the relevant contents to the target article. While the article has improved in regard to the discussion of the book and history, it has detoriated in regard to the discussion of the actual topic. The goal of our project is to collect and present the knowledge of the world, past and present, and we are not doing our readers a service by suppressing some contents just because some mathematicians don't like it, for as long as it is mathematically correct (which it is) and neutrally worded (which I think it was as well, omitting the hyperboles present in Wildberger's book). The math that was once part of the article should be restored. The alternative would be to discuss turns and coturns in terms of rational trigonometry in the turns article instead, but I find it better to describe it in the article on rational trigonometry because it requires this context to be understood. However, not mentioning it at all would be suppressing an interesting view on the topic from an angle which might help some readers to better understand it or even get new insights. The purpose why we build this encyclopedia. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 09:47, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. The actual topic isn't particularly notable, certainly not in the level of detail that the existence of these redirect targets would imply. But, if consensus does develop for inclusion of this material at the target article (and that's a pretty big if), the redirects can always be recreated. Currently, however, they serve no purpose. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 17:50, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: It seems like a big waste of time to worry about these redirects. They are kind of superfluous but also don't do any harm just sitting there. The article at the redirect target (currently in an eviscerated state) will probably eventually be re-expanded to describe at least the basic content of the book perhaps including these concepts, but even if there is a relevant section to link to, these redirects will be pretty pointless, so I am pretty ambivalent about them. –jacobolus (t) 18:34, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete for now, because they are not mentioned at the target article. I would strongly oppose rebuilding the fringe-content promotion farm that the article used to be, but if it is ever re-expanded to re-include more of Wildberger's neologisms then the redirects can be recreated. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:55, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - I googled the star name, and found this: [3]. It says the star is not part of the constellation (which would explain why it's not in the List of stars in Hydra) but is located within the borders of the constellation, which explains why the redirect was made in the first place. I'm not sure what to do about this, actually. Maybe List of stars in Hydra should be expanded to have a section for stars that are not part of the constellation, but are in the area? I'd hate to redlink it, as I'm not sure this star is notable enough for an article of its own, so we shouldn't encourage its creation... and I'd also hate to simply unlink it, because this is exactly the sort of thing readers would likely WANT to be able to click on to find out more information. I'd really prefer it to be in a list of some sort, but I can't quite think of a good list for it to fit into. Anyone else have any ideas? Fieari (talk) 06:35, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Actually the vast majority of stars "in" a constellation are not part of its "outline" (as described on the linked site). There is no need for a new section anywhere, and it can just be added if deemed relevant. 1234qwer1234qwer4 17:24, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Heh, after looking around a bit... setting my !vote to Restore original target: Subdwarf_B_star#Variables - Should have checked the history of the redirect in the first place. This is the original target of the redirect, and the star is expressly mentioned there. There shouldn't be a problem simply restoring this redirect. Fieari (talk) 05:25, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm slightly surprised that it isn't at List of stars in Hydra, given the amount of cruft that actually is there. Could always add it, to make the redirect a littler more useful. The original redirect, created by me, was to Subdwarf_B_star#Variables where the star is mentioned. Possibly notable enough for an article; it is a fairly unusual type of star, the prototype of a (fairly obscure) class of variables, although very faint. Simbad gives over a hundred references, far more than some stars we have articles for. A quick search of published papers gives several hundred hits, although many are for other stars in the class, not this one specifically. Lithopsian (talk) 11:29, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
