Baker center

The result of the discussion was retarget to Baker Center. Obvious, WP:IAR, WP:SNOW, etc. (non-admin closure) Steel1943 (talk) 20:39, 15 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Deletion, as this redirect makes it harder to locate articles about places also named “Baker Center”. There is a disambiguation page for “Baker Center” that includes the target article as well as two others. I see little reason for this redirect to continue existing.

No September 26th listed there. Steel1943 (talk) 21:36, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

'Delete': per nom. Pointless to redirect a variant of a date to an article that does not mention that date. Meters (talk) 22:02, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Retarget Still not a great redirect, but at least September 1963#September 26, 1963 (Thursday) is in use. Meters (talk) 00:01, 16 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Meters and Presidentman: Any chance I could convince you to change your stance so I can withdraw this thing? Seems a target was found. Steel1943 (talk) 20:40, 15 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Cops (TV program)#Episodes. plicit 23:39, 19 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I think that many may want to search the original term in an attempt to find an episode/episodes from before season 21, therefore a disambiguation page seems like the best way. 83.168.137.1 (talk) 20:09, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

WP:FORRED redirect for a kanji not discussed at the target article, with the target article having no affinity towards this kanji. Utopes (talk / cont) 03:12, 25 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I've since bundled four other kanji redirects to articles that don't necessarily have an affinity for kanji, or the kanji translation I'd expect to see related are just not present at the article. Utopes (talk / cont) 09:25, 25 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Retarget 1 and 2 to Wiktionary where there might be more help for those actually searching for the definition of these Han characters. Keep 3, 4, 5 as those seem plausible foreign language titles for those willing to learn more about these topics. Awesome Aasim 07:41, 1 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
5 is not Chinese. 176.33.241.125 (talk) 07:50, 1 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
5 is not Chinese.[citation needed] In any case, I have no objections to Wiktionary-ifying this redirect either. Awesome Aasim 17:28, 1 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Instead, my suggestion is to retarget 5 to Japanese numerals per 65.92. 176.33.241.125 (talk) 09:42, 2 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Relisting comment: There seems to be consensus to (soft) retarget 不 (1), 銅 (2), and 弐 (5), but what do we do with 嫉 (3) and 漏 (4)?

We should not have redirects with parenthetical disambiguation where the closing bracket is missing. If this is typed into search, the reader will certainly be led to the correct page without a redirect, requiring 0-1 extra clicks. —Alalch E. 03:10, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This nomination is not about all-lowercase. Notice the typo in the fist word, "Unforms". It lacks an "i". Not a plausible redirect. —Alalch E. 03:03, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Redirect from typo. While it's obviously possible that anybody could accidentally type "theroy" instead of "theory" by mistake, we don't need to create preemptive redirects from every typo we can possibly imagine somebody making -- a person could also accidentally type "tehroy", "thoery", "theryo", "theoyr", "hteryo", "rgwiet", or any number of other things, and any number of possible typos in "evolution" too, so there's no need for us to preemptively create thousands of redirects from every possible typo. Bearcat (talk) 19:39, 4 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • "Plausible typo" is not grounds for keeping a redirect from a misspelling — there are literally thousands of ways that the title "theory of evolution" could possibly be mistyped, so we can't feasibly create a redirect from every possible misspelling that anybody might ever type by mistake. The bar that would have to be cleared to justify a redirect-from-misspelling is evidence that a significant number of people in the real world actually think that theroy is the actual spelling of the word, not just whether it's possible to imagine that somebody might mistype it that way by accident — because again, there are thousands of different possible ways to mistype any word or title, and there's no value in trying to predict all of them in advance. Bearcat (talk) 21:12, 4 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Since any two letters in any word can be accidentally transposed by any typist at any time, keeping this on those grounds would inherently require the creation of millions of redirects from every possible transposition of all the letters in every title of every article we have at all. So the relevant question here isn't "is it possible to mistype ro instead of or?", because it's always possible to mistype any combination of letters — the question is whether "theroy-->theory" is such a uniquely special case of such uniquely special importance that it requires special treatment over and above all other possible typos that we don't handle this way, which it isn't. Bearcat (talk) 20:14, 6 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
No one is proposing mass-creation of redirects. But this one is already here, so we may as well keep it. 🌺 Cremastra (talk) 01:51, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Redirect from typo. I can find no evidence on the web that any significant number of people actually refer to this game as "Minecrat" on purpose -- I can find a few stray examples of people who mistyped it as Minecrat, but not nearly enough to suggest that there's any significant phenomenon of people spelling it that way to take into account.
