• Bechelo → Bashilo River  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Implausible redirect, no mention of the title of this redirect is found in the article. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 18:49, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - I think it's meant to be a phonetic redirect, based on the creator's other creations around the same time (e.g. Attegrat → Adigrat, Baheerdar → Bahir Dar). I don't think it's correct, though, at least it doesn't look like how I would pronounce it. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 19:21, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Bechelo is an archaic name for what is now called the Bashilo River, which is one of the major rivers of Ethiopia. I came across this variant name in the 2005 historical novel "Flashman on the March," which takes place during Sir Robert Napier's 1868 British Expedition to Abyssinia, which was undertaken to rescue a group of missionaries and British government personnel who were being held prisoner by Emperor Tewodros II of Abyssinia.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_expedition_to_Abyssinia

  There are 24 mentions of the Bechelo River in "Flashman on the March."

  It is helpful to understand that the premise of the Flashman Papers is that they are transcribed directly from the memoirs of Sir Harry Flashman, a fictional British army officer who served between 1839 and 1894, which is why many place names in the books have the spellings appropriate for that era.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Flashman_Papers

  It is also helpful to understand that, while Flashman himself is fictional, most of the events in the stories are accurate retellings of historical events. The value of "Bechelo" forwarding to "Bashilo River" is that someone reading something like the Flashman Papers can use Wikipedia to connect descriptions of events which use the archaic names to modern places. This makes such works even better at teaching about history.

  It is not just the Flashman Papers or historical novels that this applies to. Anyone who reads works of history which were written in the past can benefit from being able to link archaic and present geographical names. Before the Flashman book, I read "With Napoleon in Russia," the memoirs of General de Caulaincourt, who was Napoleon's personal aide during his invasion of Russia in 1812. That book describes the campaign in great detail, but it refers to places in Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, and Russia using the names that a Frenchman would have used in 1812. I did not add every one of those place names to Wikipedia, but I added enough of the most significant ones to make it easier for a modern reader to follow along with the movements of the army.

  This spelling also appears in "A Narrative Of Captivity In Abyssinia With Some Account Of The Late Emperor Theodore, His Country And People" by Henry Blanc, who was one of the captives who were being rescued. Blanc's book may have been a source for George MacDonald Fraser in writing "Flashman on the March." There are also multiple references to the Bechelo River in the Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society and the Transactions of the Ethnological Society of London, both from the 1860s. Alexa003 (talk) 23:06, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  TL;DR - Not a hypothetical phonetic variation. Bechelo is a variant spelling used in the mid-nineteenth century, which can be documented. The same is true of Attegrat/Adigrat and Baheerdar/Bahir Dar. Alexa003 (talk) 00:43, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Keep, per this explanation (WP:RFD#K5). @Alexa003: are any of the sources for these archaic names available online? It would be useful information to include in the article. Many geographic features have an "etymology" section documenting former names, archaic names, or names in native languages. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 16:49, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Micropore Hypoallergenic Skin Tape → Surgical tape  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

The brand name Micropore currently redirects to Microporous material, while the longer brand name (or derived term) Micropore Hypoallergenic Skin Tape redirects to Surgical tape. Opening this RfD in order to determine a common target, as I believe they should both redirect to the same target (potentially with one of them as tagged as an ((a2r))). All the best, A smart kitten (talk) 17:45, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • @CopperyMarrow15: Sorry for any confusion - I think these should be kept, but should both point to the same target. I therefore opened this RfD with the intention of hopefully gaining consensus for a common target. Apologies if I was unclear earlier. Best, A smart kitten (talk) 18:29, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • That was already clear; thank you. In saying "Keep", I meant that I argue that both redirects are already okay. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you are arguing that the trademark Micropore Hypoallergenic Skin Tape is synonymous with the word micropore, hence your use of the phrases "longer brand name" and "brand name" to describe them respectively and your stated goal of "determin[ing] a common target". However, I argue that the word micropore does not necessarily refer to the trademark, hence its inclusion in various dictionaries. Thus, the trademark name – which clearly refers to a brand of surgical tape – is okay to redirect there; and the word micropore – which primarily refers to microporous material – is okay to redirect there. –CopperyMarrow15 (talk | edits) Feel free to ping me! 19:01, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also that’s interesting in that it seems from that link to be both a trademark and an English word - I wonder if the trademark led to the increased use of the word, or maybe the other way around? A smart kitten (talk) 18:36, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yep! My argument is essentially based on the idea that a real English word is a more suitable primary topic than a trademark that occasionally uses the word for its branding, and that the two subjects of this discussion are thus unrelated. –CopperyMarrow15 (talk | edits) Feel free to ping me! 19:06, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep redirect to Indium. Misspelling of the element is much more likely, due to its phonetic similarity. Polyamorph (talk) 12:48, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  If you type Indiom on Google Translate, it says "Did you mean: Idiom". 123957a (talk) 04:15, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  But "-ium" is a predictable suffix for chemical elements, which makes it less likely. 123957a (talk) 09:48, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Not sure what google translate has to do with it, "-ium" is only predictable if the user can 1) spell 2) knows the periodic table. I can see the feasibility of "indiom" as a misspelling, I can't see how it would be feasibile for a user to misspell "idiom" the same way, unless their cat jumps on the keyboard, or similar. Polyamorph (talk) 14:57, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Because there are much more words starting with "ind" than those that start with a "short i" followed by d (such as idiom), and "ind" is easy to pronounce, easier than, say, "Ibdiom". 123957a (talk) 06:51, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Huh? Don't follow. Idiom doesn't start "Ind", Indium does. Not convinced. Polyamorph (talk) 10:53, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. This is one letter off of two plausible targets, "indium" and "idiom". Phonetic similarity I don't think is reason enough to keep here, as the typo is in a word that is small enough to infringe upon other words' spelling mistakes, in this case "idiom".

• Delete On its face it looks like a plausible misspelling of the element, but Ghits indeed think one means "Idiom". Misspelling redirects only make sense when it is unambiguous to what they refer, which does not seem to be the case here; otherwise they are more likely to lead to astonishment than be helpful. Mdewman6 (talk) 23:26, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect used to be an article (though completely unsourced), until it was prodded and redirected to the current target. It was then prodded again by User:Altenmann under the rationale no such series in 2015. It was in 2017. However, I've discovered that Kevin Pereira#Television acting roles And Twitch Roles claims that this series ran from 2015 to 2018, and that IMDb claims it ran from 2015 to 2017, so I don't know what to do with this redirect actually.

Reporting on a controversy with the show, Polygon.com reported that the show "launched" in 2014, but that doesn't necessarily conflict with premiering in 2015.

• When Altenmann created the redirect in 2006, it was titled "The Attack" and targeted to Der Angriff. The current The Attack targets the dab Attack which is understandable. Histmerge the pre-June 2023 revisions of The Attack (TV Series 2015) (when it used to be titled The Attack), to The Attack. The Attack (TV Series 2015) can then be deleted. It was a draft attempt by a newbie editor, which was then abandoned. Optionally, an interested editor may move it as a draft. As a redirect to Kevin Pereira, this redirect is not useful per Edward. Attack of the Show! could have been a target, if there was content on this TV series there. Jay 💬 19:33, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  That wold be bizarre - it hides the existence of the page move, PROD (and this RfD) entirely for no clear reason. If I were to see that request when patrolling Category:Candidates for history merging I would decline it.

  Second option. Undo the move, and make the remnant page "The Attack (TV Series 2015)" go away. The page will be back at "The Attack" and can be targeted to Attack. Jay 💬 14:31, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Restore and send to AfD as the least-worst option. Given the recent BLAR and previously-contested PROD we shouldn't delete mainspace history here, the histmerge doesn't really work for reasons I explained above, and the redirect is not only barely-mentioned (as discussed above) but also not even the standard way we disambiguate these things. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 23:29, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Film title to studio redirect for a film not named in the target article to provide any context for why it redirects there. Upon investigation, the backstory is that this entered the production pipeline but got delayed, so it was summarily redirected to the studio at that time as a film that had not yet passed WP:NFF by getting released -- but since then it's apparently been cancelled outright and will never be released at all, meaning it retains no permanent notability anymore, and thus is no longer named in the studio's article either.

• Very Strong Keep and Retarget to List of unproduced DreamWorks Animation projects. Where THERE IS an entry (Monkeys of Mumbai but this alternative title is mentioned). This cancelled film is very notable and the assertion that it's apparently been cancelled outright and will never be released at all, meaning it retains no permanent notability anymore is simply not true (because there are many many very very notable cancelled films), most specially for a redirect.-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 10:22, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A cancelled film has to meet an extremely high bar to permanently retain notability, and cannot do it on just three or four pieces of "before it was cancelled" coverage. Bearcat (talk) 04:07, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Still, your assertion is not true. And Den of Geek 2017 is coverage after cancellation, just like this.this this No further comment. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 09:15, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to List of unproduced DreamWorks Animation projects § Monkeys of Mumbai per Mushy Yank. Also, retarget Mumbai Musical (film) – which I added to the top of this discussion – and Monkeys of Mumbai and possibly Monkeys of Mumbai (film) to List of unproduced DreamWorks Animation projects § Monkeys of Mumbai. I was previously unaware of the film's coverage, so I have retracted my previous reply. –CopperyMarrow15 (talk | edits) Feel free to ping me! 14:55, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Londonist → Globalist  (talk · links · history · stats)
• Londonist → Gothamist  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

There is no (longer) any connection between the Globalist franchise and londonist.com which should ideally have its own page. Proposal is to remove the redirect and let the community create a proper page for Londonist. Csmale (talk) 12:49, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Londonist has never pointed to Globalist; it's current longtime target is Gothamist, which I assume is what the nom intended. It's mentioned there so unsure about WP:REDYES makes a lot of sense. Anyone is able to make a new article either directly in the redirect or via WP:AFC. I can't easily find a better redirect target. Skynxnex (talk) 13:52, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Note - corrected the nomination header, as this page has always been a redirect to Gothamist and has never targeted Globalist, as Skynxnex observes above. I assume the nominator just made a mistake. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 15:11, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - current target contains all of the information we currently have on this webmagazine. If someone wants to draft an article I suggest doing so at Draft:Londonist and submitting through WP:AFC, as I'm not sure the topic would be separately notable.

• Martina Princess → List of recurring The Simpsons characters#Martin Prince  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

It appears that in the episode this is mentioning, Holidays of Future Passed, the name Lisa says is "Marcia Princess" [2]. There are so few hits for this redirect's name in Google (8 for me when requiring Simpsons as well) and no page views in the last 30 days, it's better to delete to help avoid risk of WP:CITOGENESIS. Skynxnex (talk) 01:48, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment (by nom) due to a question, I have watched the segment in question on Disney+ and to my ears it's "Marcia Princess" and the D+ provided subtitles agree. Skynxnex (talk) 12:21, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Alisha Weir (Actress) → Alisha Weir  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The word "actress" in the parenthetical is capitalized, which is against Wikipedia style. Also, as a quick search reveals, there is no one else mentioned on English Wikipedia called "Alisha Weir", so the disambiguator is unnecessary. I recommend deletion. Duckmather (talk) 01:30, 8 September 2023 (UTC)struck 18:51, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as a ((R from unnecessary disambiguation))-even with it, it's potentially helpful. People might also hold the ⇧ Shift key for too long-I'm not sure how the capitalization is hurting things here. Regards, SONIC⁶⁷⁸ 05:29, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:RDAB because of the capital letter. I would be fine with Alisha Weir (actress) though, since redirects are cheap. –CopperyMarrow15 (talk | edits) Feel free to ping me! 11:13, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think this was just a copy-and-paste error. I must have intended the name without the QID, which was properly redirected later. Anyway I've deleted this under G7 (could also have been G6) so you can close this request. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:19, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to North America. I think it's fine for us to use redirects to make a half-glossary for very common geographical entities.
