• Basilo → Basilosaurus  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This is a prefix used in a number of words (especially scientific name of genera). No particular affinity for target Plantdrew (talk) 22:49, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom, doesn't seem to be particularly associated with the target. The name Basil does seem to be translated as "Basilo" in Italian, e.g. it:Basilio II Bulgaroctono (Basil II) or it:San Basilio (Basil of Caesarea), but I don't see how we can turn that into an alternative target here.

• Aurel Urzicǎ → Aurel Urzică  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Romanian does not use ǎ, it uses ă. Please delete this remnant of my move. The redirect is not useful, people looking for this page will be either foreigners who will not use diacritics because they don't have them in their keyboard or Romanians who will use the correct diacritics. People using random diacritics in their searches are asking not to get to where they want and will get anyway to the page they want because Aurel Urzica exists.

The two diacritics are visually very similar so it seems very likely that the page creator will not be the only person to confuse them - both the caron and breve articles mention the potential for confusion and there doesn't appear to be any language that uses both. Awkward42 (talk) [the alternate account of Thryduulf (talk)] 22:41, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh. If they confuse them they will get to the page anyway. This is clutter. and there doesn't appear to be any language that uses both that reduces the possibility of confusion. Super Ψ Dro 10:32, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

May I add that looking up "Aurel Urzicǎ" -wikipedia so as to get results not from Wikipedia in Google, I only get Wikipedia mirrors. Only in Wikipedia has this misspell appeared. Per WP:COSTLY There is no need to redirect from: Implausible typos. They are eligible for speedy deletion if recently created. Redirects from common typos, however, are encouraged.. If Wikipedia is the only place where a misspell is registered, because one single person got mistaken, that does not make the redirect plausible. Further evidence will be needed in my view and it does not exist. Super Ψ Dro 10:39, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Often macrons were substituted for French circumflexes (for example, in the English Shaman King manga, Anna Kyoyama's name was written as Anna Kyôyama. Also... https://www.sljfaq.org/afaq/kana-roman.html states "Another system, which is taught to schoolchildren, is called the "Kunrei" or "official" romanization.

• Delete. Looking through history, seems this started as a 2007-era stub, that was sent to AfD. The final result upon closure was "Delete, but I'll add a link to Simplified Spelling and make it a redirect" (except jokingly said in spelling-reform style). ...In other words, it got BLAR'd. The 'Simplified Spelling' referred to Simplified_spelling#Proposals_for_English_spelling_that_augment_or_replace_the_basic_Roman_alphabet. You may note that that isn't where the redirect currently leads-- because the Simplified spelling page was split into Spelling reform and English-language spelling reform about a month later, with Nooalf being appropriately retargeted. It then sat like that until 2023, which is when we get to... a slow-moving edit war between people restoring the article stub from 2007 (and adding a chart of Nooalf symbols), and people reverting the edits and restoring the redirect.
  As an aside, other than the chart of symbols (which as of the last 'article' revert, is still unsourced), the article is in the same state it was in back in 2007 when the original BLAR happened-- being, an improperly-formatted stub, with two inline unexplained 'link' references instead of a proper reference section, one of which is merely an explanation of a claim that spelling reform would save money (and not a reference proving the existence or notability of Nooalf itself), and the other of which is a dead link.
  As was found back in 2007, there is basically nothing of value here. And if there is and someone would like to take a crack at writing a proper article on Nooalf, it'd honestly probably be more helpful to start from a blank slate.

ToBeFree has semi-protected the redirect, so hopefully that should stop the edit warring. Thryduulf (talk) 01:35, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but that only. While that specific IP editor seems to have had no other intention than fueling a fire and causing damage ([1], [2], [3]), the question if RfD is the correct venue may be worth discussing, and the semi-protection of the redirect isn't a decision about this. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:38, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, my own vote stands-- the only thing new about the 'article' form of the page that kept cropping up in the edit war, compared to the version that was BLAR'd by AfD 17 years ago, is an unsourced chart of symbols. (And potentially, the fact that one of the sources is now a dead link.) I don't think it'd be a worthwhile use of anyone's time to send it back to AfD, only for them to hand down a similar verdict.

"Summer Enrichment Program" isn't mentioned at University of Virginia (although it is at University of Virginia School of Education and Human Development), but I think the expression is so generic and ambiguous ([4]) that no one target is appropriate, so delete both.

• Comment. There are quite a lot of summer enrichment programs that are notable enough to be mentioned in articles, even if only for a sentence or two, and some of them enough to merit a DABMENTION. However, given how prevalent a term it is we should probably have some content about it that mentions/links to examples and related concepts, e.g. After-school activity, Summer learning loss#Summer programs, Summer school, Summer camp and possibly others which are currently poorly linked with each other. How best to structure this I'm not certain. I'll leave a note for the Education wikiproject to see if they have ideas. Thryduulf (talk) 19:56, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Joe Kerr → Joker (character)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Nowhere on the page does it say "Joe Kerr". If this redirect is about this character, it's way too in the weeds for our purposes. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:37, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Joseph Kerr (disambiguation) links here with the entry "Joe Kerr, an alias used by the DC Comics character Joker", if that is incorrect it should be removed. There are many different people with this name who get mentions at en.wp, including a California politician who may become notable (if he isn't already, I've not looked for sources) as they are standing for election to the US House of Representatives. I'm torn between deletion and retargeting to the dab page. Thryduulf (talk) 02:28, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  It's the California politician that led me here. I suppose that the Joker could have used it as an alias in any one of the issues he's been published in. Or it could be the Earth-3333 character, which is super minor. Either way, there's no reference to a "Joe Kerr" on the Joker page. Any DC experts could provide more info than I can. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:57, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to DAB page, and change the freshly-circular entry there to point directly to Joker (character). Looking through the DC Database Fandom wiki, Joe Kerr does seem to crop up as a fairly common alias for the Joker (to the point where Joe Kerr redirects to The Joker on said Fandom wiki). The most notable usage of which seems to be the 1994 comic Batman:Going Sane, where the Joker fools himself into thinking he killed Batman and in response temporarily returns to sanity, forgetting his past as the Joker and adopting the moniker "Joseph Kerr". That said, with how many Joes and Josephs Kerr who show up in real life (especially said politician), it'd be a disservice to redirect anyone searching for them to the Joker.
