The result of the discussion was keep. -- Tavix (talk) 15:52, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing deletion, as this is an implassible search term. In 2023 and beyond, readers are likely to either seek the athlete Rudy Gobert's article or the 2019-20 NBA season article for information on Gobert testing positive for COVID-19 in March 2020, which lead to the season's temporary suspension. In the past year, this redirect has a daily average of zero pageviews, and no pages link to this redirect created in May 2020 when Gobert's positive test may have seemed more important. This is the equivalent of creating a redirect called "J. Robert Oppenheimer button press" to the article Trinity (nuclear test), simply because a reader might search that exact phrasing of the cause for information on its effect.

The result of the discussion was no consensus. Sorry, there is just no consensus in the discussion.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:51, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just as vague as 👩‍💻 . Unhelpful and fails the existing precedent at WP:REMOJI. Furthermore, anyone typing this in to search bar is either a) doing it for fun to see what they get, or b) looking for emojipedia-style information on the emoji itself. They're certainly not looking for Information technology. Really, I'd like all emoji redirects to be deleted with that reasoning, but this one is so ridiculously vague that it even goes against the existing precedent WP:REMOJI. Delete with prejudice.

Keep or redirect to a better target. Oppose deletion. At a minimum the emoji block this comes from is a valid target. Gonnym (talk) 12:43, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

However - as I mentioned on my talk page - I feel it may now be beneficial for an RfC to be held on the topic of emoji redirects, after the issue has been explored/discussed enough (potentially at WP:VPI?) to create a formal proposal on the matter. Considering the emoji redirects that have come to RfD recently, I’ve started to come to the opinion that the subject of emoji redirects in general may need more thrashing out than can really be done in the context of time-limited RfDs.
Therefore, I suppose I’ll vote weak keep on this RfD — but without prejudice to renomination once there is more of a clear community consensus on the use of emoji redirects as a whole, if the nominator believes that the redirect goes against whatever consensus is reached. (I would also extend this lack of prejudice to other emoji redirects that have been recently nominated.)

An RfC on emojis probably couldn't hurt, but tbh I'm not sure if I'd participate much. These RfD debates have fairly well tired me out on the emojis issue. Edward-Woodrowtalk 20:29, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Thryduulf: What? The problem is that the emoji is extremely vague. It is a person sitting in front of a laptop. That could refer to hundreds of things. The case for deletion is massive. Edward-Woodrowtalk 21:06, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The emoji has a single, precise, definition. We have a disambiguation page that lists all the articles that relate to the emoji's precise definition that would take readers looking this up to whichever of those meanings they are interested in. Alternatively, we have a page that details the information about the emoji itself, that also offers relevant information. As a third option we could create a disambig/set index that explains the meaning, links to the dab, laptop and anything else appropriate. None of these options will be reliably found by search results (which may be multiple clicks/taps away). I'm not seeing anything remotely close to a justification for deletion. Thryduulf (talk) 15:25, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Why would someone already know this officially means "technologist"? The searcher is likely trying to figure that information out, so it's important to guide the searcher to the target that best matches the definition. -- Tavix (talk) 20:15, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. I meant that as an argument against retargeting to Technologist. But I'm not convinced that Information technology is any better a target than, say, Computing, Internet, Laptop, or User (computing), just to name a few that immediately come to mind. Trying to guess what a user might be looking for in a case like this seems like a losing game. --BDD (talk) 18:39, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: This discussion should probably be temporarily suspended as this RfC was opened on the topic. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:54, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a redirect which is more harmful than useful, because it's wasting too much editor time that could be spent on more useful work, like, writing articles. I'm open to changing my mind if someone can explain to me how the redirect is useful. If the redirect must be kept, then retarget to gender disparity in computing, as an ((avoided double redirect)) to men in computing, until someone writes the article – keeping usage consistent with 👩‍💻. – wbm1058 (talk) 02:15, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I guarantee you that this discussion has not gotten in the way of any article writing. -- Tavix (talk) 16:48, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral – Per WP:RDRAFT, there's usually a consensus to keep redirects generated when moving a draft article to mainspace. The same applies here, however the article in mainspace was WP:BLAR'd as the results of its AfD, making this an ((R from avoided double redirect)). This may also be a WP:RDELETE#10 case, since the target article contains nearly nothing that existed in the drafts and may prevent creating another draft of the article (presumably, with WP:GNG-meeting sources).

"Alam" is not mentioned in the target page, and was not when the redirect was created. Google and Wikipedia search don't find anything relevant, only mentions of Saguenay and a person or unrelated place with the name Alam in the same page. Peter James (talk) 13:46, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was disambiguate. (non-admin closure) Duckmather (talk) 18:09, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Target page derealization doesn't actually use the term "unreality" anywhere in its prose (though it does use "unreal"). I had thought to move Unreality (album) into its place and add a hatnote, but after a discussion (which can be seen here), it seems that wasn't a perfect solution after all. Looking back on it, I'm still not entirely sure how appropriate the redirect is, and think perhaps it should be either my initial page move/hatnote idea or Dr. Vogel's dab suggestion (though as was noted at the time, there's only one exact match for it).

Retarget to Chandramukhi (character) - "(fictional character)" and "(character)" are synonymous in this context as Chandramukhi (character) is just as fictional. * Pppery * it has begun... 04:58, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
