Redirects for discussion (RfD) is the place where potentially problematic redirects are discussed. Items usually stay listed for a week or so, after which they are deleted, kept, or retargeted.
- If you want to replace an unprotected redirect with an article, do not list it here. Turning redirects into articles is wholly encouraged. Be bold!
- If you want to move a page but a redirect is in the way, do not list it here. For non-controversial cases, place a technical request; if a discussion is required, then start a requested move.
- If you think a redirect points to the wrong target article, this is a good place to discuss the proper target.
- Redirects should not be deleted just because they have no incoming links. Please do not use this as the only reason to delete a redirect. However, redirects that do have incoming links are sometimes deleted, so that is not a sufficient condition for keeping. (See § When to delete a redirect for more information.)
Please do not unilaterally rename or change the target of a redirect while it is under discussion. This adds unnecessary complication to the discussion for participants and closers.
Current and past redirects for discussion (RfD) discussions
[edit]Current discussions
[edit]Redirects that have been nominated for discussion are indexed by the day on which they were first listed.
Old discussions
[edit]After 7 days, nominations that have finished their discussion period are eligible to be closed following the deletion process.
Before listing a redirect for discussion
[edit]Please be aware of these general policies, which apply here as elsewhere:
- Wikipedia:Redirect – what redirects are, why they exist, and how they are used.
- Wikipedia:Speedy deletion – which pages can be deleted without discussion; in particular the "General" and "Redirects" sections.
- Wikipedia:Deletion policy – how we delete things by consensus.
- Wikipedia:Guide to deletion – guidelines on discussion format and shorthand.
The guiding principles of RfD
[edit]- The purpose of a good redirect is to eliminate the possibility that readers will find themselves staring blankly at "Search results 1–10 out of 378" instead of the article they were looking for. If someone could plausibly enter the redirect's name when searching for the target article, it's a good redirect.
- Redirects are cheap. They take up little storage space and use very little bandwidth. It doesn't really hurt things if there are a few of them scattered around. On the flip side, deleting redirects is also cheap because recording the deletion takes up little storage space and uses very little bandwidth. There is no harm in deleting problematic redirects.
- If a good-faith RfD nomination proposes to delete a redirect and has no discussion after at least 7 days, the default result is delete.
- Redirects nominated in contravention of Wikipedia:Redirect will be speedily kept.
- RfD can also serve as a central discussion forum for debates about which page a redirect should target. In cases where retargeting the redirect could be considered controversial, it is advisable to leave a notice on the talk page of the redirect's current target page or the proposed target page to refer readers to the redirect's nomination to allow input and help form consensus for the redirect's target.
- Requests for deletion of redirects from one page's talk page to another's do not need to be listed here. Anyone can remove the redirect by blanking the page. The G6 criterion for speedy deletion may be appropriate.
- In discussions, always ask yourself whether or not a redirect would be helpful to the reader.
When to delete a redirect
[edit]
| This page is transcluded from Wikipedia:Redirect/Deletion reasons. (edit | history) |
The major reasons why deletion of redirects is harmful are:
- a redirect may contain non-trivial edit history;
- if a redirect is reasonably old (or is the result of moving a page that has been there for quite some time), then it is possible that its deletion will break incoming links (such as links coming from older revisions of Wikipedia pages, from edit summaries, from other Wikimedia projects or from elsewhere on the internet, do not show up in "What links here").
Therefore consider the deletion only of either harmful redirects or of recent ones.
Reasons for deleting
[edit]You might want to delete a redirect if one or more of the following conditions is met:
- The redirect page makes it unreasonably difficult for users to locate similarly named articles via the search engine. For example, if the user searches for "New Articles", and is redirected to a disambiguation page for "Articles" (itself a redirect to "Article"), it would take much longer to get to the newly added articles on Wikipedia.
- The redirect might cause confusion. For example, if "Adam B. Smith" was redirected to "Andrew B. Smith", because Andrew was accidentally called Adam in one source, this could cause confusion with the article on Adam Smith, so the redirect should be deleted.
- The redirect is offensive or abusive, such as redirecting "Joe Bloggs is a Loser" to "Joe Bloggs" (unless "Joe Bloggs is a Loser" is legitimately discussed in the article), or "Joe Bloggs" to "Loser". (Speedy deletion criterion G10 and G3 may apply.) See also § Neutrality of redirects.
- The redirect constitutes self-promotion or spam. (Speedy deletion criterion G11 may apply.)
- The redirect makes no sense, such as redirecting "Apple" to "Banana". (Speedy deletion criterion G1 may apply.)
- It is a cross-namespace redirect out of article space, such as one pointing into the User or Wikipedia namespace. The major exception to this rule are the pseudo-namespace shortcut redirects, which technically are in the main article space. Some long-standing cross-namespace redirects are also kept because of their long-standing history and potential usefulness. "MOS:" redirects, for example, were an exception to this rule until they became their own namespace in 2024. (Note also the existence of namespace aliases such as WP:. Speedy deletion criterion R2 may apply if the target namespace is something other than Category:, Template:, Wikipedia:, Help:, or Portal:.)
- If the redirect is broken, meaning it redirects to an article that does not exist, it can be immediately deleted under speedy deletion criterion G8. You should check that there is not an alternative place it could be appropriately redirected to first and that it has not become broken through vandalism.
- If the redirect is a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name that is not mentioned in the target, it is unlikely to be useful. In particular, redirects in a language other than English to a page whose subject is unrelated to that language (or a culture that speaks that language) should generally not be created. (Implausible typos or misnomers are candidates for speedy deletion criterion R3, if recently created.) The message template {{subst:not mentioned}} may be useful.
- If the target article needs to be moved to the redirect title, but the redirect has been edited before and has a history of its own, then the title needs to be freed up to make way for the move. If the move is uncontroversial, tag the redirect for G6 speedy deletion, or alternatively (with the
suppressredirectuser right; available to page movers and admins), perform a round-robin move. If not, take the article to Requested moves. - If the redirect could plausibly be expanded into an article, and the target article contains virtually no information on the subject.
- If the redirect ends in "(disambiguation)" but does not target a disambiguation page or a page performing a disambiguation-like function (such as a set index of articles). Speedy deletion criterion G14 may apply.
Reasons for not deleting
[edit]However, avoid deleting such redirects if:
- They have a potentially useful page history, or an edit history that should be kept to comply with the licensing requirements for a copy or merge (see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and Wikipedia:Merge and delete). On the other hand, if the redirect was created by renaming a page with that name, and the page history just mentions the renaming, and for one of the reasons above you want to delete the page, copy the page history to the Talk page of the article it redirects to. The act of renaming is useful page history, and even more so if there has been discussion on the page name.
- They would aid accidental linking and make the creation of duplicate articles less likely, whether by redirecting a plural to a singular, by redirecting a frequent misspelling to a correct spelling, by redirecting a misnomer to a correct term, by redirecting to a synonym, etc. In other words, redirects with no incoming links are not candidates for deletion on those grounds because they are of benefit to the browsing user. Some extra vigilance by editors will be required to minimize the occurrence of those frequent misspellings in article text because the linkified misspellings will not appear as broken links; consider tagging the redirect with the {{R from misspelling}} template to assist editors in monitoring these misspellings.
- They aid searches on certain terms. For example, users who might see the "Keystone State" mentioned somewhere but do not know what that refers to will be able to find out at the Pennsylvania (target) article.
- Deleting redirects runs the risk of breaking incoming or internal links. For example, redirects resulting from page moves should not normally be deleted without good reason. Links that have existed for a significant length of time, including CamelCase links (e.g. WolVes) and old subpage links, should be retained in case there are any existing links on external pages pointing to them. Please tag these with {{R from old history}}. See also Wikipedia:Link rot § Link rot on non-Wikimedia sites.
- Someone finds them useful. Hint: If someone says they find a redirect useful, they probably do. You might not find it useful—this is not because the other person is being untruthful, but because you browse Wikipedia in different ways. Evidence of usage can be gauged by using the wikishark or pageviews tool on the redirect to see the number of views it gets.
- The redirect is to a closely related word form, such as a plural form to a singular form.
Neutrality of redirects
[edit]Just as article titles using non-neutral language are permitted in some circumstances, so are such redirects. Because redirects are less visible to readers, more latitude is allowed in their names, therefore perceived lack of neutrality in redirect names is not a sufficient reason for their deletion. In most cases, non-neutral but verifiable redirects should point to neutrally titled articles about the subject of the term. Non-neutral redirects may be tagged with {{R from non-neutral name}}.
Non-neutral redirects are commonly created for three reasons:
- Articles that are created using non-neutral titles are routinely moved to a new neutral title, which leaves behind the old non-neutral title as a working redirect (e.g. Climategate → Climatic Research Unit email controversy).
- Articles created as POV forks may be deleted and replaced by a redirect pointing towards the article from which the fork originated (e.g. Barack Obama Muslim rumor → deleted and now redirected to Barack Obama religion conspiracy theories).
- The subject matter of articles may be represented by some sources outside Wikipedia in non-neutral terms. Such terms are generally avoided in Wikipedia article titles, per the words to avoid guidelines and the general neutral point of view policy. For instance the non-neutral expression "Attorneygate" is used to redirect to the neutrally titled 2006 dismissal of U.S. attorneys. The article in question has never used that title, but the redirect was created to provide an alternative means of reaching it because a number of press reports use the term.
The exceptions to this rule are redirects that are not established terms and are unlikely to be useful, and therefore may be nominated for deletion, perhaps under deletion reason #3. However, if a redirect represents an established term that is used in multiple mainstream reliable sources, it should be kept even if non-neutral, as it will facilitate searches on such terms. Please keep in mind that RfD is not the place to resolve most editorial disputes.
Closing notes
[edit]Nominations should remain open, per policy, about a week before they are closed, unless they meet the general criteria for speedy deletion, the criteria for speedy deletion of a redirect, or are not valid redirect discussion requests (e.g. are actually move requests).

[edit]Refuse illegal orders
[edit]- Refuse illegal orders → November 2025 United States military video controversy (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Current target is WP:RECENTISM. The concept of the obligation/authority to refuse illegal orders long-predates 2025. Consider retargeting to Superior orders or Conscientious objector. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:01, 15 September 2026 (UTC)
- Retarget to Superior orders. Refusal is mentioned throughout the page. Conscientious objector is a worse target because it is mostly about refusing conscription, which isn't an illegal order. Jruderman (talk) 08:24, 17 September 2026 (UTC)
- You can refuse illegal orders also redirects to the same article. Not sure what to do with that one. Jruderman (talk) 08:26, 17 September 2026 (UTC)
- The November 2025 video is the best-known context that exact phrase has appeared in. – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 00:37, 20 September 2026 (UTC)
- Retarget to Criminal order (international law) as an avoided double redirect of Illegal order. Although this target is little more than a stub, it does provide useful links to various related concepts, and seems preferable to Superior orders which is more about the legal defence (after having committed an illegal order) than about refusal.

The Horrid Lorries
[edit]- The Horrid Lorries → List of The Railway Series and Thomas & Friends characters#Non-rail vehicles (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Horrid Lorries → List of The Railway Series and Thomas & Friends characters#Non-rail vehicles (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
No information about these characters at the target or anywhere else on enwiki. Delete this unsourced stub that lasted from 2005 to 2006 before it was BLAR'ed as there was a section about this character at its then target. There was no merge, and no reason to keep attribution.

None of the above (political party)
[edit]- None of the above (political party) → None of This (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- None of the Above Party → None of the Above Direct Democracy Party (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Other "none of the above" political parties exist, such as the None of the Above Direct Democracy Party. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:26, 4 September 2026 (UTC)
- Comment - See also None of the Above Party redirect, which also goes to None of the Above Direct Democracy Party. Personally I think None of the above#NOTA party is closer in name than None of This, could disambiguate. Here for the one billionth edit (talk) 13:36, 4 September 2026 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, voorts (talk/contributions) 00:55, 12 September 2026 (UTC)
- Retarget both to None of the above, which lists several different political parties with this name, among other stunts. * Pppery * it has begun... 19:01, 15 September 2026 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 07:32, 19 September 2026 (UTC)
- Retarget both to None of the above (disambiguation). I have edited that page to hopefully be more helpful at giving people a quick-glance overview of the various "none of the above" parties/candidates/etc that exist. Maybe it's a little messy so feel free to change it. –CopperyMarrow15 (talk · edits) 20:27, 22 September 2026 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I have listed None of the Above Party officially here and relisted early, so the discussion has enough time after I tag the redirect and notify the relevant talk page.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 22:44, 22 September 2026 (UTC)
Elise Marilyn Jones
[edit]- Elise Marilyn Jones → Chloe Cherry (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
The only reliable sources connecting the name to the subject of the target article are a couple of local news outlets, which seems insufficiently widely published by reliable sources
as per WP:BLPPRIVACY, especially given the subject's national fame. Therefore I propose deleting it as a BLP violation. ~Sangdeboeuf (talk) 22:18, 22 September 2026 (UTC) edited 02:48, 23 September 2026 (UTC)
Fifth tone
[edit]- Fifth tone → Equal temperament#Other equal temperaments (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Fifth-tone → Equal temperament#Other equal temperaments (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
A fifth tone would exist in 30-tone equal temperament, which we do not seem to have content on. The unhyphenated version could refer to Standard Chinese phonology#Neutral tone (and there is the letter Tone five). 1234qwer1234qwer4 21:34, 22 September 2026 (UTC)
- Agree with nomination. Thank you for doing this. Trumpetrep (talk) 23:12, 22 September 2026 (UTC)
- Retarget to Standard Chinese phonology#Neutral tone as an obscure neologism, with a hatnote to the letter. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 23:30, 22 September 2026 (UTC)
Eighth tone
[edit]- Eighth tone → Equal temperament#Other equal temperaments (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Eighth-tone → Equal temperament#Other equal temperaments (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- 48-TET → Equal temperament#Other equal temperaments (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not mentioned at target nor at Varieties of equal temperament. 96 equal temperament contains this (sixteenth tone redirects there too), but 48-TET is only listed and eighth tones are not mentioned. The first of these could also refer to a linguistic tone such as at Pe̍h-ōe-jī#Tone markings. 1234qwer1234qwer4 21:30, 22 September 2026 (UTC)
- Support. Although, I think deleting this would be preferable. Trumpetrep (talk) 23:12, 22 September 2026 (UTC)
- Delete as an obscure neologism with no common usage among the languages with at least eight tones. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 23:30, 22 September 2026 (UTC)
Seventh-tone
[edit]- Seventh-tone → Equal temperament#Other equal temperaments (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
A seventh tone would exist in 42-tone equal temperament, which we do not seem to have content on. There is also a seventh tone in languages such as Pe̍h-ōe-jī#Tone markings, but that would be spelt without a hyphen. 1234qwer1234qwer4 21:18, 22 September 2026 (UTC)
- Support. Thank you for nominating these. Trumpetrep (talk) 23:13, 22 September 2026 (UTC)
- Delete as an obscure neologism. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 23:30, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

- 16-TET → Equal temperament#Various equal temperaments (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Temperaments not mentioned at the target, nor at the Varieties of equal temperament which lists various other temperaments. 1234qwer1234qwer4 21:08, 22 September 2026 (UTC)
- Delete I think this was removed during cleanup of uncited WP:OR and indiscriminate tables at this article and the other one by Trumpetrep (talk · contribs) and myself in June–July 2026. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 21:16, 22 September 2026 (UTC)
- LaundryPizza03, noting that I added two more that I had somehow overlooked. 1234qwer1234qwer4 21:38, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

Jukude language
[edit]- Jukude language → Máku language (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not an attested name for the language, and deleted following prior RfD discussion 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 22:34, 12 September 2026 (UTC)
- Note: The previous RfD was very recent, but had no participation besides the nominator. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 22:52, 12 September 2026 (UTC)
- Keep. 14 mainspace pages link to that redirect. Possibly they predate the Jukude language -> Máku language page move in 2021. The Máku language page contains "Jukude" enough times I think it's plausible someone would search that way. I know nothing about this subject, but at the least I can't support deleting it while links to it are still in use. Here for the one billionth edit (talk) 22:59, 12 September 2026 (UTC)
- It wouldn't be difficult to replace all those links if needed. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 23:17, 12 September 2026 (UTC)
- It's not probable because the name Jukude applies only to the people, and never to the language. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 01:25, 13 September 2026 (UTC)
- External search results on Google, Google Scholar, and Google Books return no non-Wikipedia hits for
"Jukude+language"
. Results for"Jukude"
alone yields results that state that this word means "person, human" (eg. ). Rogers, 2001, states:
If I understand rightly, -itse marks this word as referring to people, so maybe without the person marker suffix the word is the native word for the language. This redirect is linked to in several articles; maybe the references in one of them can provide evidence for usage of "Jukude language" off-Wikipedia? – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 23:13, 12 September 2026 (UTC)The speakers of this language referred to themselves as jukude-itse [zokude-itse] ‘people-PL’. It is commonplace to refer to the language as Máku in the linguistic literature, reserving the autonym, consequently, for the cultural group of speakers of this language.
- Usage looks to be predominantly in the form of lists. Ticuna–Yuri languages#Language contact and Languages of Brazil#Classification of languages as linguistic or cultural heritage have Portuguese references. Here for the one billionth edit (talk) 23:32, 12 September 2026 (UTC)
- One of the pages, I've forgotten which, referenced ISBN 978-3-11-025513-3. It makes note "A number of languages have been called Makú, several of which have nothing to do with one another". So we must be careful not to get Máku language and Makú language muddled, as Ctrl+F can ignore diacritics. Here for the one billionth edit (talk) 23:52, 12 September 2026 (UTC)
- @Scyrme The term "Jukude" is definitely not the native designation for the language. It is the designation for the people though. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 01:22, 13 September 2026 (UTC)
- Why "definitely"? You have sources that say so? – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 01:31, 13 September 2026 (UTC)
- @Scyrme Check the grammars of the language and see if the name "Jukude" is used for the language. I couldn't find anything. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 16:54, 13 September 2026 (UTC)
- Why "definitely"? You have sources that say so? – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 01:31, 13 September 2026 (UTC)
- The closest I found using "Jukude" and not "jukude-itse" (people) was a German source. Note that I have only had success in accessing this link on mobile - desktop browsers just give me an "Access is temporarily restricted" screen - so you can try mobile or find it on another website (what I like about ResearchGate, when it lets me in, is it doesn't require login):
- Kolonialitäten und tribale Zonen. Koch-Grünbergs Beziehungen im Feld während der Roraima-Orinoco-Expedition by Ernst Halbmayer (July 2023), Philipps University of Marburg
- It reads: "Die Selbstbezeichnung der Gruppe war Jukudeitse und die Sprache Jukude." Which Google Translates to: "The group's self-designation was Jukudeitse, and the language was Jukude." Interestingly, it (or its quoted passages) seems to use the term "Máku" to refer to the people, contrary to the Máku language page:
Drei Porokotó und einen Máku haben er und seine Henkersknechte mit der Rifle erschossen.
He and his henchmen shot three Porokotó and one Máku with the rifle.Wie Koch-Grünberg festhält: »Die Unterhaltung meiner Leute dreht sich jetzt beständig um die ›wilden Indianer‹, Waiká […], die diese Gegend gerade in der jetzigen Zeit gern zu Überfällen (um Mitternacht) auf die durchreisenden Majonggóng und Máku benutzen sollen« (VII: 10).
As Koch-Grünberg notes: "My men’s conversation now constantly revolves around the ‘wild Indians’—the Waiká […], who are said to favor this area, especially at the present time, for launching raids (at midnight) on the passing Majonggóng and Máku" (VII: 10).Auch »mit den Arekuna, von denen einzelne bei den Yekuaná leben, kommen Misch-ehen vor; ebenso mit den Máku am Auari« (Koch-Grünberg 1923: 351).
"Mixed marriages also occur with the Arekuna—some of whom live among the Yekuaná—as well as with the Máku on the Auari" (Koch-Grünberg 1923: 351).- I don't know if I've actually contributed anything here, just that it passed the time. Either way, my view remains that if the term "Jukude" is in use and someone might reasonably search it or follow a link using it, we should keep this. Template:R from incorrect name can be used, or Template:R from alternative name if it is less certain that name is incorrect. Template:R from move may also be suitable, although, looking at the history closer, the page only lived there from 2020-12-24 to 2021-03-08.
- Only tangentially related, that is interesting this language page's moves were driven by a single user from 2011 to literally today (UTC, yesterday in the Americas). I hope they partake in this discussion. Possibly there is no definitively correct name for this language. Another idea I've just had, is to check the other Wikipedia languages for references. They all start with "jukude", "jukudea", "yukude", or Язык юкуде (which apparently is also yukude). But I have not looked into where they may have got that name from. Here for the one billionth edit (talk) 18:59, 13 September 2026 (UTC)
- @Here for the one billionth edit AFAIK Koch-Grünberg, who is being discussed here, only called the language "Máku". Here is his book which contains a vocabulary of it. Since the language is called "Jukude" here, I support keeping this but with the caveat of using {{R from incorrect name}}. The only name the language is otherwise called is "Máku" (though with some diacritical variation as "Makú, which is much more ambiguous). The other WP articles were probably moved by kwami per enWP usage rather than due to some reference present in the other WPs. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 13:17, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

Elon Musk's submarine
[edit]- Elon Musk's submarine → Tham Luang cave rescue#Elon Musk (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Musk's submarine → Tham Luang cave rescue#Elon Musk (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This redirect has an interesting history. The page at this title was an article for 11 days in August 2018 (a month after the actual cave rescue occurred), whereupon it was redirected to Elon Musk#Tham Luang cave rescue. After that, FWDekker retargeted it to Elon Musk#Tham Luang cave rescue and defamation case in 2020; Cewbot retargeted it to Elon Musk#Tham Luang cave rescue & defamation case in 2022 (which Tallungs reverted); I retargeted it to Tham Luang cave rescue in 2025. Last but not least, starting a few minutes earlier, today Moonraker12 tried four different targets: Elon Musk#Tham Luang cave rescue and defamation case, Legal affairs of Elon Musk#Tham Luang cave rescue and defamation case, Tham Luang cave rescue, and Tham Luang cave rescue#Elon Musk.
As that discussion reveals, we have three different articles on Wikipedia this redirect could possibly target where the submarine was mentioned - Elon Musk, Legal affairs of Elon Musk, and Tham Luang cave rescue - and no consensus on which one to send the reader to. Any thoughts? Duckmather (talk) 23:29, 12 September 2026 (UTC)
- I am leaning retarget to Legal affairs of Elon Musk#Tham Luang cave rescue and defamation case. It looks the best well-written out of the three (albeit not by a wide margin) and provides clear navigation to Tham Luang cave rescue. Here for the one billionth edit (talk) 00:11, 13 September 2026 (UTC)
- I'm questioning if this redirect should exist at all. But if it should, the target should be either Tham Luang cave rescue#Elon Musk or Legal affairs of Elon Musk#Tham Luang cave rescue and defamation case.
I'm leaning towards the latter, because of Musk's narcissism, making himself the central point of the situation. Elon Musk made sure the submarine ordeal was about Elon Musk. It had little to do with the actual Tham Luang rescue. - Manifestation (talk) 08:27, 13 September 2026 (UTC) - Note I bundled in Musk's submarine as well, as they should have the same target or if one is deleted then the other should be as well. Casablanca 🪨(T) 16:16, 14 September 2026 (UTC)
- I don't think the redirect is necessary. The redirect's title is a misnomer: The linked-to sections aren't about the submarine but about the legal issues surrounding it. The redirect is also not in an appropriate category (I think): It's currently in Category:Redirects to related topics, but it's not so much about a related topic as it's just a phrase you might think of when searching for more information. For which there is no category, afaik. So I think the redirect should be deleted. FWDekker (talk) 18:58, 15 September 2026 (UTC)
- It's an R from merge, which must be retained for attribution purposes and may not be deleted unless the page history is moved elsewhere first. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:18, 20 September 2026 (UTC)
- Sorry about the mess; I came across this at Wild boar (disambiguation) as a redirect to Tham Luang cave rescue but couldn’t see it there; I intended to redirect this to Legal affairs, but got a clash notice (as Musk’s submarine redirected somewhere else), so I self-reverted. Musk’s involvement with the cave rescue anyway seems pretty minimal (or even negative), so I was considering proposing that section be summarized and merged with Legal affairs as well: The submarine itself (which was actually just some kind of capsule) is about as notable as a kayak absent of the legal fuss that accompanied it, so I suggest the redirect to Legal affairs is appropriate (It is probably worth keeping it for the edit history). OTOH Musks submarine is just duplication, with no incoming links, so if it can be deleted then do that. Moonraker12 (talk) 17:02, 16 September 2026 (UTC)
- Currently the most extensive coverage is at Legal affairs of Elon Musk#Tham Luang cave rescue and defamation case and Tham Luang cave rescue#Elon Musk. There may be an opportunity to better consolidate the coverage but I see this as an area where duplication is to be expected. I think it's a coin toss where to target these now. They should certainly have the same target (if neither is deleted). If the coverage is reorganized in the future then the targets may need to change again. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 15:13, 17 September 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: There's also Elon Musk and the Tham Luang cave rescue, which should be synced to the same target. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:13, 20 September 2026 (UTC)
- That seems implausible to me as a search target, but may have been linked to at one point? Its hit count had odd spikes in October 2023, and there was a sustained increase in traffic in February 2025. Good find. Here for the one billionth edit (talk) 14:21, 20 September 2026 (UTC)
- It's a more likely descriptive title that would be more suitable for a stand-alone article on the topic if it were ever to be re-created. If consensus were to deem the submarine redirects harmful (I don't think they are, by the way), then an option could be to move the page history to this title and delete the submarine redirects. --Paul_012 (talk) 16:06, 20 September 2026 (UTC)

The redirect was newly created, it was created by a move, and there are still incoming links to the new title; these factors make it difficult to judge if people are actually searching this by looking at the traffic stats. Could be better renominate the redirect later if the traffic dies off and stays dead after the incoming links are updated post-move, rather than rushing to delete now on the assumption that no-one would find it helpful. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 00:30, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

Butu language (Central African Republic)
[edit]- Butu language (Central African Republic) → Naba language (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I don't see any evidence that there is a language called "Butu" in the Central African Republic. Searching Ethnologue reveals that there is a language called "Butu", but it corresponds to the Gamo-Ningi language, which is in Nigeria, not CAR. Trying the Joshua Project or Glottolog reveals no matches. So I suggest deletion. Duckmather (talk) 04:16, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

- Delete While individual Western news outlets have shown bias at some times, some drastically more than others, and in varying ways, this redirect implies that the Western media in general has bias, which is more of a conspiracy theory or what a dictatorship might push about the West. I don't think it's proper as a redirect without qualification. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:43, 22 September 2026 (UTC)
- Conspiracy theory??? It's just observing a sociological trend. You can find plenty of papers on Scholar discussing Western bias in journalism and the media. Maybe you find these views disagreeable, which is fine, but they generally come organically from academia and left-coded social criticism. Discussing Western bias in the media isn't fringe or some propaganda project of anti-Western regimes. Even Wikipedia has WP:Systemic bias, which notes a bias towards American and European (ie. Western) perspectives and a systemic underrepresentation of the Global South. Of-course it's just an essay, so not formally part of the guidelines and you may disagree with its analysis and interpretations, but it's not fringe nonsense. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 21:26, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

- Delete for lack of anywhere helpful to actually redirect to. Looking at all the hits on Wikipedia for
"Western bias"
, none of those pages stood out as good target. Media imperialism isn't the same topic. Eurocentrism (target of Western-centrism) has plenty of coverage of "Western" biases but has very little to say about the media or journalism. News mentions pro-corporate bias in Western media, but not pro-Western bias. Reading it as "[Western media] bias ("bias in Western media") rather than "Western [media bias]" ("media bias favouring the West") broadens the scope to any systemic biases in Western media. The natural target would be Western media, except the critiques of Western media given there does not (yet) include substantial coverage of systemic biases. Search results are probably the best option here until relevant coverage is added somewhere for either interpretation. The ambiguity in the scope of the title doesn't help with picking a target. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 22:06, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

Not that this will be a good redirect because of the "The", there is also no engine inspector at List of railway industry occupations if we're looking at an ATD. Jay 02:06, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

The term doesn't need to be included verbatim if it is obvious why it redirects there. plenty of uses of the term and it cannot refer to anyone else. I cannot see a scenario of someone searching this and being confused as to why they ended up where they did. I am not against revisiting this in a few months if pageviews show that this redirect isn't being used. Traumnovelle (talk) 21:40, 21 September 2026 (UTC)
- Keep as {{r from pejorative}}. As Pinoccappuccino notes, it has appeared in the news and on social media so I see no reason to think it wouldn't be plausible, especially as "butcher" is also a very common pejorative with a long and well-established history of use for politicians and officials. Finding examples of such redirects on Wikipedia is trivial (eg. Jamal the Butcher, The Butcher of Beijing, Butcher of Bengal). It's unambiguous and I agree with Traumnovelle that this would not be a surprising target; also not against leaving this open for renomination in a few months if the traffic shows no discernable usage. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 13:52, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

Requested action: deletion. For some reason, the (uncreated) article of this railway station redirects to the article of the railway it is on. This is misleading and useless. SpectralIon 01:01, 28 August 2026 (UTC)
- Keep as mentioned at target and an {{R from subtopic}} or {{R to related topic}}, without prejudice to creation as an article if it is notable. Also add a {{Redirect}} hatnote for Honghe station, a metro station in Chengdu, and a {{Distinguish}} hatnote vice versa. Fork99 (talk) 01:07, 28 August 2026 (UTC)
- My main issue with Honghe being redirected is that 1. No other Chinese high-speed rail station articles (that I have discovered) are redirects to the railway they are on and 2. Many Chinese high-speed rail stations, even for small areas like Honghe, are independent articles. If there was a precedent for this, I would be fine with it. SpectralIon 20:36, 28 August 2026 (UTC)
- This sounds like an WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument. I've found Wulongquan East railway station and Xinzheng East railway station which redirect to Beijing–Guangzhou high-speed railway, although these are the result of a WP:BLAR (blank and redirect), whereas Honghe railway station has always been a redirect. As someone familiar with Australian railway stations, there are hundreds of similar redirects to their respective railway lines or to the town they are in, I don't know about globally though.

- Retarget to Glossary of 2020s slang#N, where the term is explained, at least in the short term. I think this serves readers better than retargeting to an article purely about advertising, particularly as the term is not even mentioned there. This is not specifically about advertising, although that is a part of it. In the longer term I think that there is maybe a 50% change that we will eventually have a valid article specifically about nostalgia bait (as a phenomenon) or nostalgia baiting (as a practice) in the future. If we let the glossary entry expand as required then it will become clear if and when that should happen. --DanielRigal (talk) 17:07, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

Any suggestion - let alone a completely unreasoned one, as at the previous rfd - that the latter is in any manner appropriate should be read in the context of the very contentious Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sabina Altynbekova.

This is a procedural nomination of behalf of ROLEXMEENA who attempted to RfD this in July but did not edit the daily RfD log. ROLEXMEENA created this as a self-reverted {{R from move}}, see Special:Diff/1363953523. Note that they're blocked for sockpuppetry, but this account is the sockmaster so WP:G5 doesn't apply. Maybe WP:G7, but it's unclear what they wanted. I know G7 isn't usually applied to page moves if the mover wasn't the only contributor to all pages, but this was a self-reverted move over redirect that lasted 18 minutes.
"SBT" is mentioned in the article for what it's worth, so seems plausible. So I don't think WP:G6 applies nor is this recently created for WP:R3. Fork99 (talk) 13:11, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

- Delete. I doubt someone would search this and even if they did I doubt they'd include a full stop at the end. That's not how Wikipedia works, nor a common way to search for things. People don't even consistently use full stops on social media when talking to other humans, why would they do it for a search bar? I'm also not persuaded by the Censorship by Twitter suggestion. As far as I know, Twitter was mostly criticised for alledgedly censoring by shadowbanning or account suspensions rather than by deleting posts. Those are both topics mentioned at Censorship by X. Deleting individual posts in a censorious way isn't really mentioned at all. In fact the only time the article mentions deleting tweets is in a section about Russian pressure to do so, with Twitter's initial response instead being to selectively block accounts, only eventually removing content after Roskomnadzor kept up the pressure.

[edit]- 2-valued morphism → Ultrafilter#Ultrafilter on a Boolean algebra (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Probably delete. The target is reasonable for 2-valued morphisms specifically in the category of Boolean algebras. I don't see any relevance to 2-valued morphisms generally, nor any reason to believe that as a search term or a link target it should be taken as understood that the category is Boolean algebras. It's true that Google searches currently give this meaning but I expect that's an artifact of the Wikipedia structure.
Disclosure: This redirect was a retarget in lieu of a PROD, so I'm not sure whether RFD or AFD is the better venue. Trovatore (talk) 23:00, 5 September 2026 (UTC)
- As I wrote on the PROD message, this Google scholar query doesn't indicate any substantial use of “2-valued morphism” in the mathematical literature. I agree that it's fine to delete it. The only reason I could see for keeping it is keeping hyperlinks to Wikipedia working, as the page was quite old, but it was also very bad. Jean Abou Samra (talk) 23:11, 5 September 2026 (UTC)

- Keep most, as despite being made by a blocked editor a lot of these are uncontroversially reasonable spelling variations. It's trivial to find variation in hyphenation between
"trans-saharan"
/"sub-subsaharan"
and"transsaharan"
/"subsaharan"
on Scholar and Google Books; redirects where this is the only difference are fine and are useful for both searches and internal linking. Variation between"Saharan"
and"Sahara"
also seems generally fine; eg."trans-saharan slave trade"
and"trans-sahara slave trade"
both yield results on Google Books. Searching for"[the] Sahara slave trade"
shows that the unprefixed"Sahara"
is also plausible variation. Delete redirects where the hyphen is replaced by a space, as I don't see much evidence that this is common in my external search results and this isn't conventional for English in general. Seems more like an SEO technique than plausible language. Delete redirects which capitalise Sahara mid-word without a hyphen ("transSaharan", "subSaharan"). These are entirely unnecessary for searching (the search engine ignores case whenever possible and will redirect you even if no explicit redirect exists; try a search for TraNs-SaHaRan sLave trAde) and are worse than useless for linking as they're incorrect but appear in blue, making unintended use easier. I strongly suspect these titles reflect how sometimes hyphens get omitted in, eg, previews extracted from pages on Google Books, even when they're present on the actual page itself. This is something a machine would do. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 15:24, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

- Strong delete in the spirit of WP:X1. Absolutely beyond implausible. Someone would have to want to search for "boobies", but for fear that they'd sent to the article about the bird (which already has a hatnote to the dab page), they'd have to manually add in the disambiguator for the proper name. At which point, why wouldn't they have just searched for that in the first place? I mean, come on. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:29, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

- Keep – This sounds like a call for an RFC to remove any and all parenthetical disambiguators. Until such a time, this is as valid a search term as any other. When I type in "boobies", three article entries appear: the bird, this topic, and some bracelets.

- Lean keep. I'm sympathetic to Deacon Vorbis's point, but the all-time traffic since 2015 is >3,600 which shows that counter-intuitively it has seen some use. I suspect this traffic is partly explainable by it being linked somewhere as a a piped link or on a disambiguation page somewhere since the traffic noticeably falls off after January, 2023, when I assume the link(s) was(/were) removed. Even then, the traffic since 2023 is within the margin of error for what I would expect from an implausible redirect since 2015 not 2023, so I'm not convinced the traffic was driven entirely by old internal links that no longer exist. I'm inclined to agree with Chess enjoyer. People have used it before, maybe they'll use it again; what's the benefit to deleting? – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 14:44, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

Physical map
[edit]- Physical map → Map#Map types and projections (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Ambiguous term. I thought of a paper map, incoming links are split between the genomics meaning and the cartographical meaning (a map of the physical territory rather than political borders). Delete or disambig? There's a dab page in the history. See also Political map, which I am not bundling but which is similarly fuzzy. Rusalkii (talk) 22:42, 26 August 2026 (UTC)
- Retarget - I'm pretty familiar with map terminology, because I just re-wrote the map article (GA, now going thru FAC). The term "physical map" is very rarely used, so it certainly does not deserve an article. Many important sources do not mention it at all:
- The Glossary of the Mapping Sciences published by American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing - has no mention of "physical map"
- The ESRI GIS dictionary - has no mention of "physical map"
- So what does (did) the term "physical map" designate? The History of Cartography (vol 6 "20th century") does mention it twice on page 107, where it has "...a gradual shift of emphasis from the general political and physical maps to topical maps including more demographic and environmental themes ...". See also p 51. It is clear from the usage in this source that a physical map focuses on topography and the physical surface of the earth, rather than man-made features, particularly political boundaries. Google, FWIW, agrees with that assessment. The modern term for a map that focuses on the physical features is topographic map.
- Therefore, the best thing to do is to redirect physical map to topographic map. Noleander (talk) 00:00, 27 August 2026 (UTC)

- Not sure. Noleander's analysis does a good job of analysing solid sources, but when we're talking redirects, we also have to support casual usage that can't be documented, and I suspect that in that setting, "physical map" is used in contrast to electronic mapping, comparable to "snail mail" versus e-mail. (If anyone would study such terminology, it would likely be folklorists and linguists, not cartographers.) Most people will be aware of the existence of topographic maps, but most people will probably not expect this redirect to refer to them. I say "not sure" only because I don't know where we'd cover this sense; Electronic map redirects to Map. Nyttend (talk) 19:42, 16 September 2026 (UTC)

Seems like a rather strange target. Just because a city is not in Europe doesn't mean that there isn't a name in English. English exonyms provides some non-European examples of city names that are different in English. Lists of cities would be more general, including English names based on endonyms, though on the English Wikipedia, any lists of cities would be presumed to list city names in English. Also, English cities redirects to City status in the United Kingdom, which doesn't list that many city names, but List of cities in the United Kingdom (of which List of cities in England redirects to) mentions that there are 55 cities in England.

The naming of the telescope was a hot topic due to accusations that Webb was complicit in the Lavender Scare; Sally Ride and Harriet Tubman were put forward as alternatives after whom the telescope could be named, and Just Wonderful Space Telescope was subsequently invented as a backronym by those who objected to the naming. A little more detail can be found at James E.

I'm skeptical that they should be, either...it just feels like excessive minutiae that isn't all that vital to get the main point across.

Ify
[edit]Ify Alyssa is not the only person whose given name is Ify. The disambiguation page IFY also mentions that ify is ISO 639-3 code for Kalanguya language, but the disambiguation page doesn't mention other people with the same given name, some of whom use "Ify" with quotation marks. Mathguy2718 (talk) 00:22, 21 September 2026 (UTC)
- Retarget to IFY and add people with the given name there. It needs a bit of beefing up, so there's no cause for two separate dab pages. Maybe IFY should be moved to Ify instead. J947 ‡ edits 05:29, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

Black Wednesday (2025)
[edit]- Black Wednesday (2025) → Liberation Day tariffs (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
"Black Wednesday" is not mentioned anywhere in the target page, or in the related page 2025 stock market crash. I didn't find any sources making the connection. The creator cited in their edit summary

These random snippets of mathematical notation occur in countless places. There is no reason to think that a person putting them in the search bar would be looking for these particular, rather obscure, targets, as opposed to n+1, N-1 Victory, Kawasaki P-1, etc. In the case of n - 1, the title of the article didn't even include this phrase until the redirect creator added it last week. --JBL (talk) 22:30, 20 September 2026 (UTC)

- Keep. Bhandarā (with the diacritic on the last vowel) is an element of prasada and is further defined in that article. The dab page Bhandara points readers to the page Prasada. This redirect saves the reader an unnecessary detour, which is why I created it. Ingratis (talk) 15:50, 29 August 2026 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 04:52, 6 September 2026 (UTC) - Retarget to Bhandara. That diacritic is not uncommon at all, and is used in ISO 15919 transliterations, along with transliterations for other languages. "I don't see this diacritic often" is not a reason to delete. --ABx11 (she/they) 21:39, 6 September 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: Seems the term has some ties to Prasada (it says in lead "Mahaprasada (also called bhandarā"). Also edit history for Bhandarā shows it was a redirect to Mahaprasada.

Baghar, Cheena
[edit]- Baghar, Cheena → Baghar China airstrike (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
No evidence the village of Baghar China or Baghar Cheena is spelled with a comma (it's not mentioned that way in either of the two references). The title is also misleading because it suggests that it's located in a place called "Cheena", and we have only one article about a place with that name (Cheena, Pakistan, which is a village located in Punjab, not Khyber Pakhtunkhwa where this incident occurred). So I suggest deletion. Duckmather (talk) 20:26, 20 September 2026 (UTC)

Next Year (song)
[edit]Should this ambiguous redirect continue pointing to the primary topic, Next Year, when Next Year (Foo Fighters song) is already a viable redirect and the article Next Year (Macklemore song) already exists alongside song redirects for entries listed at Next Year (disambiguation)? Consensus at Talk:Next Year#Requested move 19 September 2026 is in favor of the Foo Fighters song being the primary topic. — Trailblazer101🔥 (discuss · contribs) 17:36, 20 September 2026 (UTC)
- Keep per the recent discussion at Talk:Next Year#Requested move 19 September 2026, which concluded that the Foo Fighters song is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the title. If that consensus changes, this redirect should be revisited. - Eureka Lott 01:55, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

Craig Tomashoff
[edit]- Craig Tomashoff → Caragh Donley (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
No mention of a Craig Tomashoff in the article. I did some research before nominating this and it does not seem like these two people are connected to one another. The article mentions Caragh being trans, however upon checking the sources, Craig's name does not appear to be mentioned anywhere. I also checked Google and did not find anymore information. Delete Gavetheman555 (talk) 16:00, 20 September 2026 (UTC)
- Craig Tomashoff was Donley's deadname and what she went by most of her career. Here is her LinkedIn ("Caragh Donley Tomashoff") and her Facebook where she openly posts about coming out and her career. At the bottom of her op-ed with The Huffington Post (I Hid My True Identity For Decades. Here's What Happened When I Finally Revealed Myself At 63.), it states "She’s the author of The Can’t-idates: Running for President When Nobody Knows Your Name.", which a google search will show was written by "Craig Tomashoff" (see ). -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 16:09, 20 September 2026 (UTC)
- This interview with her may also be helpful: "A few years ago, I learned that my biological dad had died before I was born but nobody ever told me. I grew up thinking the stepdad who raised me WAS my biological dad, and since he is the child of Russian immigrants, I just always assumed that made me Russian. However, after digging into all this information (it’ll all be in the book I’m trying to so…reassure me you’ll buy a copy to learn more), it turns out my real dad was from Irish stock. Hence, I wanted an Irish name and Caragh means “friend” or “beloved” in Gaelic. Plus, Donley is my real dad’s last name so I wanted to pay tribute to him that way as well." -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 16:21, 20 September 2026 (UTC)
- Either delete or mention in the target, readers will be as confused as nom especially given the last names differ as well. I haven't checked whether a mention is merited under WP:DEADNAME - if she went by it most of her career then it seems plausible, but as always we should lean towards excluding it if uncertain. Rusalkii (talk) 17:33, 20 September 2026 (UTC)
- What Rusalkii said. There's probably a good argument that the subject was notable pre-transition, but currently all of the sources are post-transition. We don't surreptitiously deadname people via redirects, but the redirect would be appropriate if her deadname were legitimately included in the target. pburka (talk) 19:49, 20 September 2026 (UTC)
- She won multiple Emmy Awards pre-transition.. would that merit including her deadname? -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 13:43, 21 September 2026 (UTC)
- Weak keep. Someone looking for the author of
The Can’t-idates: Running for President When Nobody Knows Your Name
would type in her deadname. They should be directed to the article that contains the pertinent information on this author. Fits under Template:R from birth name. Katzrockso (talk) 04:08, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

- I assume it's supposed to be the lowercase of IN (postal code of Indiana) Department of Revenue, like Tx Dept of Criminal Justice or Va Dept of Health. Is the specific phrase actually ambiguous? My searches are only turning up Indiana results, but that may just be because I'm browsing from the U.S. I'm not sure someone searching for, say, Department of Revenue (India) is as likely to use the two-letter abbreviation. If kept, note that Indiana Department of Revenue is instead a redirect to Indiana#Taxation, so we would need to figure out what the best target. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 04:53, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

Avocado tea
[edit]- Avocado tea → Avocado#Leaves (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Avocado leaf tea does appear to be a thing, but there is no information about it at the target. ~ A412 talk! 02:14, 6 September 2026 (UTC)
- It's a "thing" and exists, as any non-toxic leaf could be used for tea, but there appear to be only spam refs about it. I suggest it's WP:UNDUE and is sufficient as a redirect to the leaves. Zefr (talk) 02:49, 6 September 2026 (UTC)
- The article included a sentence about avocado leaf tea until June, when the information was removed. - Eureka Lott 15:21, 7 September 2026 (UTC)
- I originally made the redirect when the target discussed avocado tea. But that information was removed, as Eureka Lott mentioned. However, it's easy to find reliable sources that discuss avocado tea. That's why I think the redirect should stay, and information about avocado tea should be provided in the target section. Here's a few sources discussing avocado tea using the leaves of the plant: New York Times, Times of India. And then, completely separate from using the leaves for tea, is the usage of the seeds for tea. That is also reported on: Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and Yahoo! Life. For these reasons, the Avocado article should incorporate these sources for a section specifically for tea that discusses both the leaf tea and the seed tea, and the redirect should be retargeted to that new section of Avocado#Tea--JasonMacker (talk) 14:23, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

Felix Felicis
[edit]- Felix Felicis → Fictional universe of Harry Potter#Magic (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Fictional potion not longer mentioned at target, with too many passing mentions elsewhere for a retarget option, therefore I suggest a deletion to favour search results. These include real-world songs and a band named after the potion. I suppose this is most strongly associated with the plot of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Note Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Felix Felicis closed as redirect to Magic in Harry Potter in 2007, but the closing admin completed the redirect close without a merge. Magic in Harry Potter itself was merged to the current target in April 2026. I'm not sure when Magic in Harry Potter's mention was removed as it was not present in the diff of its AfD merge notice. The pre-BLAR content was sourced solely to the primary sources, lasting 2 years from 2005. Also note there's no Liquid Luck or Liquid luck (alternative in-universe name).

Tiger cat
[edit]I propose that this redirect be retargeted to Tigercat (disambiguation). "Tiger cat" could refer to the northern tiger cat, southern tiger cat, eastern tiger cat, or the newly discoverd species Tilcayo. Having the redirect target to Oncilla has the potential to cause confusion, as demonstrated by this revert of an edit I made. Alternatively, Tiger cat (disambiguation) could be converted into its own dab page, where all the tiger cat species could be mentioned. LightNightLights also suggested potentially converting tiger cat into a broad-concept article. I'm no expert in taxonomy, so I'm open to suggestions from editors who know more about the subject. Zeibgeist (talk) 17:32, 19 September 2026 (UTC)
- Tiger cat → Tiger cat (disambiguation) and Split that DAB out of Tigercat (disambiguation) (your "alternative"). Tigercat seems to be used for a made up thing while Tiger Cat is used for the animals according to the top dozen hits on Google search and Google scholar. They are different things. Tiger cat as a overview of this type of animal would be a great idea, but I'd start with the DAB. Johnjbarton (talk) 19:02, 19 September 2026 (UTC)
- Retarget per nom, and maintain current dab page. There are only a few entries at the dab page, of various spacing and capitalization differences, and I think it makes sense to keep them all together. All that are exactly "tiger cat" refer to actual animals, and the dab page could easily be organized to have them grouped in a separate section. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 19:12, 19 September 2026 (UTC)
- Retarget to disambiguation per nom. Hamilton's football fans thank you. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk)
- Re-target to disambiguation page. Some thoughts:
- It looks to me that the oncilla is only one of the many species partially named "tiger cat". Our article does not even use the unqualified two-word phrase "tiger cat" to refer to the oncilla.
- Tiger quoll uses that phrase, but since others also use the phrase "tiger cat" to describe the newly-identified tilcayo, I am not that convinced that we should re-target to "Tiger quoll".
- This is not strong evidence, but wikt:tiger cat defines the phrase as at least four different species, suggesting that we should re-target to a disambiguation page.
- I am the one who reverted Zeibgeist. I also talked with them in my user talk page.
- As a response, I created the page Tiger cats as a redirect to Tigercat (disambiguation) yesterday. I am perfectly fine with others also discussing that redirect.
- I also support creating a BCA at Tiger cat, but I do not want to give others work that, due to private matters, I likely would not be able to help with.

- I came here because I read on the Main Page that Tilcayo was a "species of tiger cat". I was trying to learn its meaning. If it doesn't have a particular meaning, it shouldn't be used as description there. Canadachick (talk) 18:03, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

- Noting the comment on Tavix's talk page from Jay (talk · contribs): "All the links at the #New national teams section are for the under-19 teams, and that includes Serbia and Montenegro whose under-19 team is a redlink now." That's accurate for the bulleted list at that section. I should have been more specific: I was referring to the prose before that list, which indeed links to general country names, not sports teams of any sort. So I agree with his earlier comment that this is a content issue. My conclusion is still delete, though. Unanswered is the question of whether the country of Serbia and Montenegro ever had such a team. If it did, delete per WP:REDLINK. If it didn't, delete because it never existed. --BDD (talk) 20:29, 19 September 2026 (UTC)
- If it existed, which the target says it did, from 1992 to 2006, does it deserve an article, or is this redirect sufficient? If it didn't exist, and the target is wrong, the entry needs to be removed from the target, and this redirect deleted. However, there is an incoming link from FIBA Europe and I tried hard, but couldn't find where it is linked in that article. Jay 08:15, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

I would like to delete these various RuneScape topics better found outside of Wikipedia. Quests are mentioned, and currency in relation to real-world trading. A few of those pages were originally created in attempts to write about RuneScape quests and currency, which is why I'm not keen on keeping them. The Red Axe started as some sort of joke page. Here for the one billionth edit (talk) 10:11, 12 September 2026 (UTC)
- Delete most. The Red Axe (Consortium) would fall under WP:CSD#G3 as a hoax/joke article and should've been tagged for speedy deletion not blanked and redirected. No reason not to delete. A few others here also at some time had attempts at (non-hoax) articles, but these were all blanked and redirected so there's no merge history to worry about here. It's safe to delete all these. However, I would say keep/refine Runescape quests to RuneScape § Gameplay, since this topic is still discussed there. No reason not to assist readers in finding content Wikipedia does have coverage for. (But delete the "list" redirect, as there is no list.) Delete all the rest due to lack of coverage to redirect to. I did consider if Runescape currency could be kept as it is mentioned in RuneScape, but there's nothing substantial and the relevant content concerns other topics such as monetisation (via RuneCoins, one of several currencies) and anti-cheating policies. Readers looking for info specifically about the currencies themselves would not find what they're looking for, so the redirect isn't helpful. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 18:46, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

- Are there other search results that are relevant? If not, deleting Runescape quests is just wasting the reader's time and adding unnecessary friction to navigating Wikipedia. There's no reason to throw out a perfectly fine redirect just because it's bundled with bad ones. Under normal circumstances, nominated by itself it would undoubtedly be kept as the topic is mentioned and redirects are cheap. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 21:41, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

Sen's Fortress
[edit]- Sen's Fortress → Dark Souls (video game) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
only mentioned in passing, in a sentence that a reader who hasn't played dark souls (me!) wouldn't even notice the absence of. the pre-blar content was fancruft, with only 1.2 reliable sources (pc gamer and kotaku) actually about the damn place, with the rest being irrelevant and/or user-generated. i found maybe one or two usable sources, but i doubt they'd be enough to even warrant a mention in the article due to their nature. will be listing them soon regardless
coincidentally, most info on it was removed from the target shortly after the blar, but i couldn't find any evidence of a merge, so there's nothing to lose here consarn (talk beige) (count ribs) 19:40, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

- Keep First of all, there is more SIGCOV than that. The article used a section from "You Died", which is a third-party book published by Tune & Fairweather analyzing Dark Souls. It's reliable significant coverage. The level is also featured in Dark Souls: Beyond the Grave, another third-party published reliable source. It's arguably standalone notable, and never went through an AfD process, just one user's personal opinion; I had just not bothered to continue expanding it. There's at least enough to talk about in the game article, and IMO the redirect was done without Wikiquette and without even asking me what the sources were. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:24, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

Sakai Prefecture

- Sakai prefecture → Sakai (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Created with an edit summary of "alt name" but Sakai was never a prefecture, and no mention in the target page. The redirect seems to have been created by mistake. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 13:50, 22 August 2026 (UTC)
- Delete. If it was never a prefecture then this is actively misleading and should be deleted. --DanielRigal (talk) 14:38, 22 August 2026 (UTC)
- No objection to the deletion of the redirect. Only for the record/if someone wants to replace the redirect with a proper article, Sakai was a prefecture (-ken), and was actually the most long-lived (or least short-lived) among no longer existing restoration-era prefectures: It existed from 1868 to 1881 (see ja:堺県 or Sakai Prefecture in the NICT Japanese Wiki Corpus; also for the Edo period/loose precursor, cf. Sakai bugyō, but any continuity is less direct than in other cases; unlike some other bugyō successors such as Yamada bugyō/Watarai-fu or Nagasaki bugyō/Nagasaki-fu, it was also never set up as a -fu, but was Sakai-ken from the beginning), at its peak it extended to roughly the Southern half of present-day Osaka and all of Nara until it was merged into Osaka in 1881. But the redirect to Sakai City is indeed off; cities of Japan didn't even exist as such before 1889 (their precursor -ku did, though, since 1878; Sakai-ku was initially part of Sakai-ken until the merger into Osaka). --Asakura Akira (talk) 15:48, 22 August 2026 (UTC)
- As stated above, Sakai was a prefecture in the late 1800s. That status is also mentioned in the target article, so this seems to me like a keep until Sakai Prefecture is expanded into an article. Dekimasuよ! 03:30, 23 August 2026 (UTC)
- Delete Since the city and the prefecture do not appear to have been coterminous, I think this is better left as a redlink. A redirect could be misleading readers to conclude the prefecture and the city were one and the same. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 21:38, 24 August 2026 (UTC)
- That would apply to much of the article, though. Sakai#Feudal period and Sakai#Edo period also deal with entities that are geographically and culturally intertwined but not coterminous with the modern city. Since the article is already at the plain title, I don't think it is a problem for Sakai Prefecture to redirect here, as Sakai City does. Dekimasuよ! 08:50, 26 August 2026 (UTC)
- I'm assuming you are referring to the mentions of other cities in those sections, in which case, that does not seem equivalent to me. The main topic of those sections is clearly the existing city, not a surrounding broader region. (It wouldn't make sense to redirect Hyōgo to Sakai#Edo period just because it is mentioned there, for example). The mention of the prefecture at Sakai#Modern period says that the prefecture included parts of present-day Osaka and Nara Prefectures, so I still think a redlink is best here.

Morys
[edit]This is currently a {{R taxon with possibilities}} without mention at the target but I'm not familiar with species articles so I'm unsure what should be done exactly.
This needs disambiguation because this is also a given name and surname, held by Morys Wynn ap John, Huw Morys, Morys Bruce, 4th Baron Aberdare, Morys Clynnog, Matthias Morys, Twm Morys, Nicholas Morys, and Daniel Morys (a Polish name so possibly different pronunciation?). From an online search, this appears to be pronounced as Moris/Morris/Maurice, so those should be a see also, possibly along with Pittsburgh Morrys and Mory's.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris talk! 07:57, 31 August 2026 (UTC) - Delete: This is a classic "sum of parts"; there is no part of Tokyo actually referred to as "downtown Tokyo", so the "downtown" is an adjective meaning "central". So a redirect is misleading. Similarly, central Tokyo is a redirect to something else (the 23 ku), a page which only includes the word "central" to refer to Ikebukuro as being in "north central Tokyo"; another misleading redirect. These redirects are obviously well intentioned, but not actually helping. I can't be bothered to check if "modern-day Tokyo" or "Tokyo, Japan", or "Tokyo, capital of Japan" redirects to Tokyo, but perhaps you get the point.

- Comment - They were "removed" because you completely ignored the consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of alien races in DC Comics that only the entries that were notable, blue-linked entries should be merged. I just had to revert your improper merge again - you may disagree with the consensus at the AFD, but you do not get to arbitrarily ignore it.

Martian Manhunter is a Green Martian (It is also at RfD), but not the only one. I think White Martian will be a better target, as it describes well how Whites and Greens were connected, and has comparisons of both. Parademons - retarget to the New Gods section per Rtkat.

Comment: I don't know which way to go.
- Deleting lets Wikipedia go free without confusing or short articles. No one wants to read any of it since they think it's ridiculous.
- Keeping it gives us the opportunity to expand it into an actual article. It's aiming directly at the purpose of Wikipedia. We need to have sources to do this.

- A similar redirect Canadian current events was RfDed in 2014 with consensus to retarget to List of years in Canada#Current decade (albeit that section no longer exists), South African current events redirects to 2026 in South Africa (which would need to be updated every year) and Indian current events redirects to Portal:India. Since the US portal doesn't have a current events section, I would suggest a retarget similar to the Canadian or South African redirects.

- Delete per Crouch, Swale and our handling of several similar redirects. Many current events end up being covered on Wikipedia but in general this is not a repository for such things. Many efforts like Wikinews and region-specific current events portals have been shut down over the years. Sending readers to Portal:Current events is way too broad and not a justifiable WP:XNR. An article on the year (2026 in the United States) is a fairly weak match for "current events" and thsi creates an ongoing maintenance burden, which will be substantial if this sets a precedent for other countries. List of years in the United States is an even less helpful target than the current year. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 19:53, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

"Redirect to married name" is not the same as "Redirect from married name", to which it was retargetted in 2022 by this edit. It was previously redirecting to "Redirect from alternative name". I wished to use this template on redirects from two earlier surnames of a person (best known by her married name) when it was not clear which had been her birth surname, but it makes no sense to use it when it is categorised as a redirect in the opposite direction. I suggest it should redirect either to "Redirect from former name" or (as previously) "Redirect from alt name". PamD 17:31, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

- Here for the one billionth edit (talk) 11:59, 11 September 2026 (UTC)
- I had the same thoughts. Neither article contains a lot of substantive coverage of TSAR but SAR supergroup is the logical place where this might be expanded. The brief mention at Diaphoretickes § Evolution just says that
Telonemia [...] is sometimes resolved as the sister clade of the SAR supergroup, forming the hypothesized TSAR clade
. That makes Diaphoretickes an improper target to discuss TSAR on the whole. The circular link at SAR supergroup can either be removed or it can be left as an acceptable circular redirect if editors think this has standalone article potential. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 14:07, 11 September 2026 (UTC)

- Support retargeting TSAR to Diaphoretickes. TSAR includes groups that SAR does not, and is fully included in Diaphoretickes, the nearest parent clade. Furthermore, its validity is still unknown, as the 'T' often branches with Haptista instead of SAR. The Evolution section at Diaphoretickes covers this information. For these reasons, TSAR redirecting to Diaphoretickes is preferable, and is a surefire way to avoid misleading readers into thinking SAR and TSAR are equivalent. — Snoteleks (talk) 14:10, 11 September 2026 (UTC)
- Ah, I see. I think I initially misread Diaphoretickes, and did not bother to look at the taxobox. I do think the information could be presented more clearly in the article. I've followed the TSAR discussion from afar and my (limited!) understanding is that it is disputed but still felt to be relevant enough to cover somewhere. This is a bit beyond the scope of RFD but I do think the coverage could be improved while still kept fairly succinct. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 14:15, 11 September 2026 (UTC)

- I agree with Snotelek that targeting the least inclusive group that contains TSAR is usually the best solution. But TSAR is sort of SAR sensu lato so might be a more natural place to discuss it. It's mentioned in the lede and the article could be reorganised to have a short section on TSAR that could be linked in the redirect. Likewise, Diaphoretickes could have a sections on TSAR/SAR and other component supergroups, but the article isn't organised that way. TSAR is mentioned but seems quite dismissive of the hypothesis. At the moment SAR seems a better target because the issue is addressed in the one paragraph lede. — Jts1882 | talk 14:39, 11 September 2026 (UTC)

The first redirect is in Cyrillic, and the second redirect is in Latin (looks like inverted faux Cyrillic).

Mathguy2718 (talk) 05:51, 11 September 2026 (UTC)
- Note: There exists a similar redirect in Cyrillic, ҚССР, which has Ka with descender (Қ) as the first letter as opposed to Ka (Cyrillic) (К). The Ka with descender letter does not appear to be used in Kyrgyz, Russian, Crimean Tatar, or any other relevant languages involved in this nomination except Kazakh, so that redirect is not nominated here despite looking similar.

One solution would be to simply add Crimean Socialist Soviet Republic to the existing KSSR dab page and retarget both of these there. That might be too outside the box for the dab page guidelines. Another option is to convert the Cyrillic КССР to a separate dab page listing these three SSRs and retarget the Latin KCCP there. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 00:57, 19 September 2026 (UTC)

Religious epic
[edit]- Religious epic → Epic film#Biblical epics (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Delete unless a suitable alternative target can be found. I'm not convinced that films are the primary topic for religious epic(s). There is no substantive discussion of this subgenre in the target article.
Note: I have intentionally not bundled this with Religious epic films because there may be a distinct target for the literary genre. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 02:02, 11 September 2026 (UTC)

- Delete. There is absolutely no substantial content at the target, which simply identifies a symbol (epsilon) as representing a counit. It doesn't provide a definition for unfamiliar readers nor any further information for familiar readers. Counit (category theory) should be deleted for the same reason, since its target uses "units" and "counits" to define something else rather than discussing counits in themselves; all the target really says about counits is that the terminology comes from universal algebra, which suggests the terminology here is not actually ambiguous, it's just being applied in different contexts. Unhelpfully, universal algebra doesn't even mention this terminology. These redirects aren't any more helpful than the search results, which show similar passing mentions in other articles. This is evidently a gap in Wikipedia's coverage; Returning to red would encourage editors to fill that gap. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 20:53, 1 September 2026 (UTC)
- If not deleted, then I would suggest retargetting to Tensor algebra § Counit, which seems to actually define what a "counit" is. However, the description there is highly technical so honestly I'm not entirely certain how helpful it would be as target. It may be helpful to notify WP:WikiProject Mathematics of this discussion to get the attention of editors with relevant expertise. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 21:01, 1 September 2026 (UTC)
- That article does not
define what a 'counit' is
but defines the counit that is used to endow the tensor algebra in particular with a coalgebra structure. 1234qwer1234qwer4 10:06, 11 September 2026 (UTC)
- That article does not
- "A counit" or counits are not defined
in themselves
; it is the terminology used for part of the data given by a coalgebra or an adjunction, respectively. In the same way as object (category theory) redirects to the definition of a category, since that is the term used for the points/elements in a category. 1234qwer1234qwer4 10:04, 11 September 2026 (UTC)

- Comment. A disambiguation is possible I suppose, but it seems to me that the primary concept is already the counit of a coalgebra. Deletion is a bad idea; this is a real term that appears in many sources, and will likely be confusing to many readers who will look to Wikipedia for information about it. The current redirect is perhaps not perfect, but it seems to me that the best alternative is to improve the target article rather than making Wikipedia less functional by deleting the redirect.

- Delete. This is the (partial) title (with incorrect capitalization) of a paper that this article cites, but doesn't mention. Someone searching for this would be redirected somewhere that doesn't mention this, and likely be left confused as to why. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 00:55, 19 September 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: I don’t think this is necessarily an incorrect capitalization. If you look at the original paper (the archived version linked in the article) you can see that the title is stylized as “Gorillas in our midst: sustained inattentional blindness for dynamic events”.
- Also the article definitely mentions the exact work described in the paper, even if it doesn’t mention it by that name. I’m not sure if this actually affects whether the redirect is valid, but thought it should be pointed out. ExitTheWarrior (talk) 12:18, 19 September 2026 (UTC)

There are 2 listed buildings in Lincolnshire namely one in Coleby, North Kesteven and one in Barton, North Lincolnshire which is still in the ceremonial county. Google returns an assisted living residence in Caistor. It was only at this title for around 11 minutes in 2022. If both of these had articles it should then point back to the DAB page Glebe House but since we don't even have Listed buildings in Coleby, North Kesteven and Listed buildings in Barton, Lincolnshire it can't go back to the DAB, if these articles get created in the future the redirect can be restored and targeted to the DAB.

I'm tempted to retarget this to Mpox#Vaccine, but it was recently changed to its current target so I am nominating instead. On one hand, all currently available mpox vaccines are indeed smallpox vaccines. The Smallpox vaccine article does contain a significant amount coverage of mpox vaccination specifically as well as detailed summaries of the individual products. On the other hand, Mpox#Vaccine provides a more concise summary all in one place. I find Mpox#Vaccine more focused and reader friendly. It contains appropriate wikilinks and could be expanded with details found in various parts of Smallpox vaccine. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 16:44, 18 September 2026 (UTC)

My aim with this proposal was to direct readers to the place where there is focused mpox vaccine coverage in one place. A dedicated article that consolidates, updates, and expands coverage that is currently spread over multiple pages achieves this much better than maintaining a redirect to any of the current articles. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 20:58, 18 September 2026 (UTC)

The Tornadocane
[edit]- The Tornadocane → Derecho#Characteristics (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
No mention is made. I propose either deletion, article creation, or editing of the current target to at least mention the term. Edit: the term specifically referred to an instance of a supercell thunderstorm taking on the radar appearance of miniature hurricane, so a redirect to "supercell" would be negligibly more appropriate, though I would argue against it. ZFT (talk) 04:09, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
- The Tornadocane should be bundled in. Note there is a Wiktionary definition at wikt:tornadocane. There doesn't appear to be an article on the North Carolina April 1999 tornado mentioned above, but that would be a suitable target I think if it existed. Fork99 (talk) 11:02, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

- In en:wiki, it could be viewed as a Mesoscale convective vortex and in Common as commons:Category:Mesoscale convective vortex Pierre cb (talk) 04:34, 10 September 2026 (UTC)
- I'm weakly in favor of a soft redirect to the Wictionary entry as well. A quick search and source seem to most commonly refer to a specific storm that happened on April 15, 1999. Since there was a tornado with a fatality, it could warrant a section at Tornadoes of 1999, though I also found mention of one in 2003. TornadoLGS (talk) 05:02, 10 September 2026 (UTC)

Tornadocane has no incoming links from articles but it averages 4 hits/month (range: 1–8 over the prior 12 months), indicating fairly consistent low-level search interest. I'm not a big fan of Wiktionary redirects but this is a reasonable alternative to deletion in this case. It doesn't seem, per the discussion above, that WP:RETURNTORED applies here although it is possible that a brief definition/description could be added somewhere. This/these can always be recreated/retargeted in the event that suitable content is added somewhere on-wiki. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 20:07, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

Redirects to Major and minor
[edit]- Majeur → Major and minor (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Mineur → Major and minor (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Menor → Major and minor (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Majore → Major and minor (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
None are mentioned at target, but I believe that these are all Romance language words. I find it plausible there might be affinity with music, especially French and Italian, per WP:FORRED, but these aren't mentioned anywhere and are a hassle for false friends/false cognates, as I've just discovered when searching for Minore (which I'm boldly turning into a disambiguation page instead), while looking for Minore, New South Wales. I find it unlikely an English speaker will misspell "major" or "minor" as any of these. Also, Mineur (surname) should be moved to Mineur and add a mention of Mineur (crater). Fork99 (talk) 09:46, 18 September 2026 (UTC)
- Let’s hope that this won’t become a WP:TRAINWRECK but here is my vote:
- Listify Menor - a simple wikipedia search yields various people with the surname “Menor”
- Move Mineur (surname) to Mineur per nom
- Delete the rest per nom. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 10:59, 18 September 2026 (UTC)
- Listify as appropriate (as creator of at least some). Yes, they are all translations of major or minor in European languages, and as such in classical music often appear in titles, musical instructions, and such. For that reason they are typically included in music encyclopedias (as redirects), and were once on the Wikipedia:Music encyclopedia topics lists (which is why I created them). But certainly no need to prioritize that meaning to surnames or other uses which are likely more common; in fact as a disambiguation page they are better since the explanation could be clearer than a simple redirect.

Literary studies
[edit]- Literary studies → Literary criticism (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Poorly targeted redirect.

I like that the current target has prominent discussion of its relationship with literary theory. An equivalent to Literaturwissenschaft could be good, but in the meantime, I don't think there's anything wrong with the redirect. --BDD (talk) 16:01, 18 September 2026 (UTC)

[edit]- Gillen’s Siding → Moolboolaman (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not mentioned at target, also Gillen's Siding (per MOS:') does not exist, and if it did, this should tagged as an {{R avoided double redirect}} of that. This could plausibly be mentioned as there are historic newspaper clippings in trove.nla.gov.au. Fork99 (talk) 07:15, 18 September 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, the 1924 railway derailment at Gillen's Siding is the reason I created the redirect. But due to some health issues, I've been unable to put any time into Wikipedia in the last few months. I've made a quick addition of the derailment into the Moolboolaman article so it is linked from there. Kerry (talk) 23:36, 18 September 2026 (UTC)

- Delete, noting that epic is a wider categorization than films. Islamic literature mentions a couple epic poems, but I don't think they'd be considered Quranic. To include films, I don't think we could get any narrower than Islamic culture, but that's way too general of an article and epic films aren't even mentioned there. -- Tavix (talk) 14:34, 18 September 2026 (UTC)
- I agree it's broader than film, despite my initial rather hasty reply above, and that there can be Islamic epics that are not necessarily Quranic. This also appears to be rather obscure terminology. "Quranic epic" has just 13 hits on Google Scholar and 5 hits on the "Wikipedia Refs" Google search.

I don't see any evidence that there's a place called "Tajar" in Semnan Province, Iran (let alone in the eponymous county or city). There are 4 different places in Iran called "Tazareh", but that's a different term from "Tajar" even when written in Perso-Arabic script. So I suggest deletion.

LLLP, LLP
[edit]According to a Google AI summary, "LLLP, LLP" is a copyright and holding company entity, not a track on or alternate name for A Moon Shaped Pool. Also, this is another case of a redirect without mention. ZFT (talk) 00:28, 18 September 2026 (UTC)
- Delete: I did a more complex request ("Is "LLLP, LLP" a track on or alternate name for A Moon Shaped Pool (by Radiohead)?") using the same AI (Google AI) and the AI said that it was not an alternative name. This is what the AI said:
| The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. | |
|
No, "LLLP, LLP" is not a track or an alternate name for Radiohead’s album A Moon Shaped Pool. Instead, it is the legal business entity and copyright holder established by the band members to handle the rights and licensing for that specific record. [1, 2]
Radiohead is famous for setting up a brand new Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) company for nearly every major album release. This strategy helps them manage the financial structures, royalties, and distribution rights independently for each era of their music. [2] When A Moon Shaped Pool came out, the phonographic copyright line (℗) on physical vinyl sleeves, CDs, and streaming platforms was assigned to LLLP, LLP under an exclusive license to their distributor, XL Recordings Ltd. [1, 3]
The band uses this distinct corporate method regularly:
If you are looking at the fine print on a platform like [Apple Music](https://music.apple.com/us/album/a-moon-shaped-pool/1111577743) or a physical vinyl copy found via marketplaces like [Discogs](https://www.discogs.com/), you are simply seeing the corporate name responsible for protecting the music's copyright. [1, 3] Are you trying to track down a specific unreleased song or b-side from the A Moon Shaped Pool era, or perhaps looking for details on a specific physical edition of the album? Let me know and I can help you find it.

MOS:OVERCITE
[edit]- MOS:OVERCITE → Wikipedia:Citation overkill (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Despite this being a "MOS:" shortcut link, it does not lead to a Manual of Style subpage, nor any editing guideline; rather, it leads to an essay about citations, which may come off as misleading to other readers. In addition, the Manual of Style doesn't appear to cover this concept, so I would suggest deleting the redirect. Since WP:OVERCITE already exists as a valid shortcut link, deleting it MOS:OVERCITE should not cause any problems. LazyLune (talk • edits) 23:20, 17 September 2026 (UTC)
- Delete the MOS:OVERCITE redirect to this essay, but keep WP:OVERCITE. Reasons: (1) MOS-namespace links give the impression it is an official MOS guideline; whereas WP-namespace links are understood to include non-binding essays. (2) There is an opposing essay named WP:UNDERCITE (aka WP:Citation underkill) which does not have a matching MOS redirect. (3) The essay WP:OVERCITE contains some questionable guidance that is frequently abused, resulting in removal of good quality citations (and sources) from articles. The essay has some germs of good advice, but it often used in a heavy-handed manner. The "MOS" seal-of-approval should not be associated with this essay. Noleander (talk) 23:54, 17 September 2026 (UTC)
- Comment. Fairly indifferent on this one, but if it is deleted, there are a handful of incoming links that should be updated in that case. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 23:58, 17 September 2026 (UTC)
- Question Do we know how many MOS-namespace redirects link to essays? If the answer is, say, "under 5" that is an indication that MOS-namespace should not be used to link to essays, and perhaps all five could be deleted (after proper notification). On the other hand, if there are dozens of MOS redirects to essays, maybe a broader discussion (RfC?) should be used to determine if they should be prohibited. Noleander (talk) 00:04, 18 September 2026 (UTC)
- I'm not sure whether those types of redirects are common or not. I happened to found this one while I was viewing Wikipedia:Citation overkill. To my knowledge, "MOS" shortcut links should only be redirected to Manual of Style subpages or guideline pages to prevent them from being misleading. As for having a broader discussion, I would be in support of that, if that were ever to take place. LazyLune (talk • edits) 00:42, 18 September 2026 (UTC)

- Support Retarget - 13 years later! If I recall correctly, the redirect made the most sense at the time because of Jacob's sizable role in the modern manifestation of the SO as it exists today. Looking at that page, it definitely needs some attention (which should include more information on Jacobs' tenure as head of the company).

From what I can glean from the current target (which isn't much), the full name is Big West Advertising, not just "Big West", so there's no SMALLDETAILS case either way.

- Very weak retarget to Wiktionary. The obvious target is Skeleton (undead) - the word is used in this sense by Shakespeare, Dickens, and Smollett, among others - but we don't mention it on that page. Tevildo (talk) 23:39, 10 September 2026 (UTC)
- I'm not sure Skeleton (undead) would be the most obvious target since the other definition, 'mote, speck', is more common; it's ambiguous and could also probably target Particle (which the disambiguation page at mote links to for this sense of the word). According to my external search results (eg. ) Shakespeare used it in this sense too, and the glossaries in the top results don't even mention the "skeleton" sense. Wiktionary provides Shakespeare quotes for both definitions, suggesting it was ambiguous even then. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 08:11, 11 September 2026 (UTC)
- My guess is that this has come from 1.4.57 of Romeo and Juliet, where the chariot of the fairy Queen Mab is said to be "Drawn with a team of little atomies". As far as I can tell, this passage doesn't imply that "atomy" refers to fairies themselves. The OED lists the following definitions of "atomy": "An atom, a mote", "A diminutive or tiny being; a mite", "A skeleton", "An emaciated or withered living body, a walking skeleton", and "Chiefly in the work of Dickens: a spindly or skeletal thing". The Wiktionary page lists all of these meanings. I don't see a whole lot currently mentioned on Wikipedia that the term could refer to: Mnogotochie (rap group) are apparently the progenitors of an album titled Atomy zsoznaniya, but this merely seems to be because "atomy" is the Russian word for "atoms", and I suspect the mention of an "Energy Atomy School" at List of schools in Iran involves a typo or an error, as I'm unable to find anything about such a school. Other appearances of the word are either using it in one of the senses listed by the OED, or are referring to "atoms" in another language. Given all of this, I think retargeting to the Wiktionary page is a reasonable enough solution. – Michael Aurel (talk) 04:33, 13 September 2026 (UTC)
- Those mentions in the list about Iranian schools intended to mention the Atomic Energy Schools maintained by the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran. The Farsi for "Atomic Energy" is انرژی اتمی enerži atomi, which sounds like "energy atomy". I've amended the list. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 15:23, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

- Comment. I just noticed that while most of these have little traffic, atomy has a lot of traffic. The all-time total is >65,000 since 2015. I somehow doubt this due to readers looking for an obscure, very archaic word meaning either skeleton or mote (or, apparently, also fairy according to these redirects). I think there's something we're overlooking here. A quick external search for
"Atomy"
overwhelmingly brings up a South Korean brand/chain called 'Atomy' in English. There seems to be no coverage here on ~enwiki, but it does have an article on ~kowiki: Atomy. I'm still undecided, but my intuition is there's a WP:RETURNTORED situation here. I'm unsure if there are other meanings of the word that we're missing which would explain the high traffic. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 17:12, 17 September 2026 (UTC)

- It's not clear that these terms are synonymous. The links found by Fork99 do not seem to use the word "derecho", so they don't demonstrate synonymy. Wiktionary also doesn't mention that landphoons are synonyms with derechos, and defines them as tropical depressions
over land whose satellite signature resembles that of a typhoon
, however derecho doesn't mention anything about them having typhoon-like radar signatures. It does mention thatOne derecho developed a radar signature resembling that of a cyclone...
, but "one" implies this is unusual not definitive of derechos. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 12:32, 9 September 2026 (UTC) - Note: Landphoon had an article at that title prior to September 2007, but it was deleted at AfD. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 12:44, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

From the two Australian articles I could read (the second of the three is paywalled), they seem to be referring to tropical systems of one form or another, including a monsoonal low and a system sustained by the brown ocean effect, while the current Wictionary definition is more along the lines of a mesoscale convective vortex.

TornadoLGS (talk) 05:12, 10 September 2026 (UTC)
- I see a few routes, but none of them are it remaining as a redirect to derecho. It could be turned into a disambiguation for derecho, brown ocean effect, and other terms including specific "cases". Landphoon could also be simply redirected to brown ocean effect, which seems to be the most common usage of the term based on a Google Search and others' comments in this thread. The redirect could also just be deleted due to how colloquial the term is. ✶Quxyz✶ (talk) 12:20, 10 September 2026 (UTC)
- There are some unreliable references connecting landphoon and derecho that I have found. This Wikipedia article refers to a specific derecho as a landphoon. There are also a couple uses of it on social media to variably refer to BOE or derechoes, depending on the context. ✶Quxyz✶ (talk) 12:28, 10 September 2026 (UTC)
- Could retarget to a visible anchor at the mention in Tornadoes of 2003:
This seems to be the closest thing Wikipedia currently has to an explanation of the term. There's also a mention at International Cloud Experiment but this does not explain what a "landphoon" is beyond describing the one mentioned as "record-breaking tropical typhoon". – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 12:43, 10 September 2026 (UTC)The derecho itself produced a very intense mesoscale convective vortex, and at times, the entire squall line was wrapped into it, creating a "super-derecho", also known as a landphoon.
- Could retarget to a visible anchor at the mention in Tornadoes of 2003:
- I don't understand why you link to WP:BARTENDER, since these suggestions (disambiguate, retarget, delete) are all appropriate for discussing here at RfD rather than at another venue. Disambiguation pages aren't just lists of related topics, they're articles which could share the same title. Even if the brown ocean effect is relevant to landphoons, these terms are definitely not synonymous. Brown ocean effect doesn't mention "landphoon" so would likely be a surprising target. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 12:30, 10 September 2026 (UTC)

Countershock
[edit]- Countershock → Defibrillation (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
per wikt:countershock, it's not a concept exclusive to use of the zappy bricks, though that's probably close enough to the primary topic that a soft redirect to wiktionary only might be the slightly better option here, so consider this a weak nom consarn (talk beige) (count ribs) 13:24, 17 September 2026 (UTC)
- Support. Thank you, that would indeed be an improvement that would optimize in this case. As the creator of the redirect (created in 2016), I fully support consarn's proposed improvement. Namely, please provide one of those soft redirects to Wiktionary for this term, instead of redirecting to defibrillation, which is merely one major category of activity where countershock is relevant. Thank you. Quercus solaris (talk) 14:15, 17 September 2026 (UTC)

- Weak keep/weak delete, but do not retarget to wiktionary. The various mentions are all related to the current target, so there's certainly nothing else to reasonably target. The only other search hits are for a handful of sources published by a "Countershock Press". That being said, I wouldn't mind seeing this go altogether, but if it has to stay, it should stay where it is. As almost always, Wikt redirects are actively harmful and should almost never be used. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 23:44, 17 September 2026 (UTC)

Advanced Potion Making

Fictional textbook fairly significant to the plot of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, but is not mentioned anywhere on Wikipedia. This was a 3.5 line unsourced stub created in July 2005 and BLARed in November 2005. I have repaired the attribution from a merge to Hogwarts subjects via a dummy edit attributing the creator and the second revision by a different user. All other edits in between this and it being BLARed only added categories, links, a stub template, a merge template, changed templates and removed a word, so I haven't attributed them. I also have no idea why this was conflated as being a course/class/subject offered at Hogwarts in the pre-BLAR content. Delete. Fork99 (talk) 10:39, 17 September 2026 (UTC)

There is broad debate about what constitutes modern warfare; there is no concise and broadly agreed definition, but most scholars define it using technological or tactical criteria rather than by a specific timeframe, and most go back to WWII if not WWI.

refers to the act of turning non-solid stuff into solid stuff (i could never have guessed!). freezing is one method of doing it, and a plausible synonym for some other methods, but far from the only one for either case. thus, considering incoming links, those might be better off soft redirected to wikt:solidization or retargeted to solidify

It seems just be an informal conventional among jazz musicians, probably to more clearly differentiate the abbreviations by sight. Examples also appear in Google Scholar and Google Books results so evidently it also appears in publications not just online. The same convention is used for other chord,E7M
,D7M
, etc. A lot of the Google Scholar results were in Portuguese or mentioned Brazil, so this convention may be more common there. I don't think treating this redirect as a synonym forC7M
is appropriate; the music-related pages I saw consistently used a capital M (WP:SMALLDETAILS), and music doesn't dominate the search results so I don't think we can assume what readers would be searching for here. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 20:55, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

- Keep October 27, 1999, October 27 1999, and 27 October 1999. The lead sentence of the article makes it clear that the event is referred to by the date alone in Armenia. Accordingly, keep these dates as viable search terms, since simply October 27 is taken. ‡ El cid, el campeador talk 13:14, 17 September 2026 (UTC)
Dictionnary.com
[edit]- Dictionnary.com → Dictionary.com (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This is not the name of the website - {{R from misspelling}} should ideally not potentially mislead people into going to typo-squatted domain names. ScalarFactor (talk) 04:13, 17 September 2026 (UTC)
- Weak delete per nom and per similar Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2026 September 7#Pubishersweekly.com. Dictionnary exists with some articles using this misspelling (Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles, Multiple sclerosis, Double liability, Prostitution in Ethiopia), which should probably be fixed. I think this is plausible due to wikt:dictionnary stating that this is an obsolete spelling and a misspelling influenced by French dictionnaire. But I find the misleading

more of a concern, as this domain name redirects to some random spam blog website at the moment and not the intended actual Dictionary.com. Fork99 (talk) 05:16, 17 September 2026 (UTC) - Delete as misleading since dictionnary.com is a parked domain Duckmather (talk) 21:47, 17 September 2026 (UTC)

- Comment: Could Backrooms (film)#Cast be a potential retarget? Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 04:53, 17 September 2026 (UTC)
- Delete – Too ambiguous, and not a framing of a subject that currently exists. There are no reliable sources suggesting that "Backrooms characters" is a defined group that is specific to the film or to the web series. Linking to one or the other would imply that that's the list of characters, so to speak. A cast happens to function as a list of characters, but that's not its intended function here. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 11:21, 17 September 2026 (UTC)
- delete as extremely vague even from the title. no list seems to have existed, and what can be defined as "a character" in the "backrooms" is subject to a lot of possible interpretations that all veer into fancruft territory, the least crufty being "are we talking about the backrooms themselves or media related to them in general?", with "do we include the reddit thread about the throngler and scrindonguloder?" at the cruftiest end, and "what about the poolrooms?" somewhere in between
- if a list does end up existing eventually, it'll obviously require a disambiguator to match the thing it's a list of characters of, so this will serve no purpose then either consarn (talk beige) (count ribs) 17:53, 17 September 2026 (UTC)
- Keep there is currently a list being worked on at Draft: List of Backrooms characters. The franchise is expanding and there will be need for a list. Redirect is mostly a place holder while the draft is being finished. I don’t want someone to start a list in the mainspace, when there is already a draft in draft space. That’s what happened with the article Kane Parsons. There was already a draft that preceded it called Draft:Kane Pixels, but someone later made the current version in mainspace without checking draftspace first. Then the draft was useless after that and turned into a redirect. I don’t want a repeat of that. There are also reliable secondary sources available for the characters in the film and web series, I will add those later. There is no harm in keeping the redirect. Leave redirect as is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Purple Vortex (talk • contribs) 15:16, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

No information about this character at the target. There are mentions in other articles though I do not see any as an ideal primary target. There are mentions of a Tom Tipper / Thomas Tipper at Beer in Sussex and Music of Sussex about a Newhaven brewer on whom a song was also written. Delete to favour search results. I thought about a disambig, but could not come up with an entry for the brewer.
This was an unsourced 2-paragraph stub that lasted from 2005 to 2006. It was merged to its then target, but trimmed over time, and subsequently removed, before it became a redirect itself. No reason to provide attribution. Jay 07:09, 8 September 2026 (UTC)
- Keep - I re-added Tom Tipper to the target article. Based upon the diff you provided, I do not see any reason for the character's removal from the list, and so I conclude that it was done accidentally (after all, the edit was meant to add other minor characters to the list). Accordingly, I think the redirect is now sensible. I do not think the other mentions of Tom Tipper are significant enough to warrant a DAB or hatnote. ‡ El cid, el campeador talk 18:15, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

- Keep. The label has almost 300 releases and has signed other artists besides Cornelius; not only should it be covered on Cornelius's page more expansively, but it might be worthy of restoration as an article. This was probably thoughtlessly redirected when it should have been merged, like so much other record label content. Chubbles (talk) 11:42, 17 September 2026 (UTC)
- @Chubbles would you be willing to convert it back to an article then? If there's a valid article that's fine, but I don't think it's appropriate for a redirect or merge target because the label is a separate entity from Cornelius (he didn't found it or anything, he was just signed to it). The currently existing redirect doesn't help anyone because all they learn from Cornelius' page is that some of his albums came out on that label.

Katniss
[edit]Katniss Everdeen is the clear primary topic. Page views for Katniss Everdeen vastly outweigh views for Sagittaria (see the graph), even before taking into account that "katniss" is just one of many alternative names for Sagittaria. 🦬 Beefaloe 🦬 (talk) 07:44, 16 September 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose: Katniss isn't just one of the alternative names, but one which is used multiple times in the page. Search results for "katniss" produce the character second, so anyone searching for that can easily find what they're looking for, and even if they happen to land on the plant's article anyway, the hatnote is sufficient. Unsurprising that the page views weigh in favor of a fictional character from a popular franchise over a random plant species, but that shouldn't be the only determining factor when there's other value in keeping this redirect as is.

- Keep per WP:SMALLDETAILS. The character has a last name, and anyone looking for information about that specifically should be reasonably expected to both know it, and include it in a search. If they don't know it, or they're just too lazy to enter it, the hatnote at the current target gets them there. I also don't buy the pageviews argument in a vacuum, since it doesn't tell us how many had to click through the hatnote instead. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 15:40, 16 September 2026 (UTC)
- I don't agree that readers
should be reasonably expected to ... include it in a search
. That would be true if "Katniss" were a common given name, but it isn't (or wasn't until the books/films briefly made it a popular baby name). According to Ancestry.com,the name "Katniss" is a 21st-century creation
, suggesting it wasn't ever used as a personal name prior to the publication of the Hunger Games. Ancestry.com isn't the most reliable source, but I wasn't able to find anything that contradicts this. Regardless, readers may reasonably think it was wholly made up for the books, like many names of fictional characters in sci-fi settings are, especially if they aren't aware of the plant or only know it by another name. In that context, it's reasonable for readers to expect the first name would be enough. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 00:07, 17 September 2026 (UTC)
- I don't agree that readers
- Retarget to Katniss Everdeen with a hatnote to the plant. I agree the character is the primary topic. Regarding the pageviews, while it's true that it's difficult to tell how many of the views for Sagittaria were clicking through the hatnote, if you look at the all-time stats for Katniss itself, there's an obvious trend of gradual decline over time since 2015. The most plausible explanation for this is that the traffic for Katniss reflects the declining cultural relevance of the Hunger Games. I really doubt these stats are reflecting trends in interest for the plant. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 00:19, 17 September 2026 (UTC)
- Keep: the Hunger Games character gets more page views, sure, but I fail to be convinced that she has enough long-term significance to be primary for her given name alone. And while this wasn't a common given name prior to the publication of the series, there are other potentially notable people with the name or nickname – and even an orca with a mention on wikipedia! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rosbif73 (talk • contribs) 07:34, 17 September 2026 (UTC)

I don't think a disambiguation page would be appropriate as "antitau"/"anti-tau" is only a partial title match for the tau inhibitor topic. Main page Google results are overwhelmingly for the antiparticle, but Google Scholar and Google Books bring up plenty of results for the drugs so a hatnote is warranted. Practically, a hatnote would be no worse than a disambiguation page for any readers looking for antitau drugs as they'd be 1 click away from what they're looking for in either case. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 00:36, 17 September 2026 (UTC)

None of the entries at the disambiguation page have that name, and none of the people called 'Jon Key' mentioned in the nomination have articles to link there in its "see also" If any of them, like the politician, are notable this is a case of WP:RETURNTORED. The single passing mentions of "Jon Key" in the giant table at List of Harry Potter (film series) cast members and the table at List of Wizarding World cast members don't warrant a redirect or being listed at the disambiguation page. There are passing mentions of other people called "Jon Key" in various other articles (eg. Peter Sewally, Cambridge University Lightweight Rowing Club, 2012 Southend-on-Sea Borough Council election). It's best to let the search bar handle this, so these mentions can all be found rather than being hidden by the existence of the redirect. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 00:50, 17 September 2026 (UTC)

Assisting an offender
[edit]- Assisting an offender → Assisting offender (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
While these two terms are very similar they have very different meanings (almost antonyms) such that I was very suprised (and a bit confused) to arrive at the target article. "Assisting an offender" (at least in UK law) is a criminal offence whereby a person intentionally helps another person avoid arrest or prosecution, knowing or believe the latter has commited a serious crime. An "assisting offender" is a convicted criminal who actively assists the authorities to prosecute another person. There are lots of mentions of the term in aritclespace, but the only actual content I've found about it so far is Criminal Law Act 1967#Part I – Felony and misdemeanour (scroll down to "Section 4"). With an anchor that might make a suitable target, but ideally we'd have something more specific. Thryduulf (talk) 10:41, 7 September 2026 (UTC)
- How about Accessory (legal term) or Aiding and abetting? --BDD (talk) 23:49, 7 September 2026 (UTC)
- Hmm, it's definitely not Aiding and abetting as that occurs only before or during a crime while assisting an offender only happens after a crime. Accessory is covered by different statue in the UK (Criminal Law Act 1967 vs Criminal Law Act 1977) and feels different somewhow. I think the difference is that an accessory, in English law, commissioned the crime and/or was present at the scene of the crime while someone who assists an offender did/was neither. I'm not sure this distinction exists in US law? I need to think more on this when I'm awake. Thryduulf (talk) 01:11, 8 September 2026 (UTC)
- After thinking and some more research it seems that "Assisting and offender" and "Accessory after the fact" are essentially the same thing, in the UK former is a statutory offence that effectively replaced the latter common law offence. If there was some content about this at the Accessory (legal term) article then that would make a good target, it isn't UK specific though as there are offences by this name in at least Barbados and Hong Kong, possibly Ireland and New Zealand too (searching brought up a lot of South Africa-related hits, but it seems not to be the name of a specific offence there).

- Retarget to Accessory (legal term). A more explicit mention would be beneficial but not mandatory IMO. There's a lot of discussion of assistance already, the offender part is implied, and at the end, there's already "assists the offender" in a US context. --BDD (talk) 15:03, 16 September 2026 (UTC)
- Retarget to Accessory (legal term). That article uses "assist", "assists", and "assistance" throughout, including the opening sentence; it would not be a surprising target. It seems straightforward that someone who assits an offender is an accessory to the offense, which, as far as I can tell, is consistent with what the article says. While it seems in England and Wales "assisting an offender" is legalese that is narrowly a synonym for "accessory after the fact", this would make it {{r from subtopic}}, since an accessory after the fact is still an accessory. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 01:15, 17 September 2026 (UTC)

- Comment: The military occupation happen in 1940 and I think that article should be improved to describe events up to the annexation in greater detail. "Occupation of the Baltic states" is a more comprehensive article giving a better overall picture, but perhaps we shouldn't redirect there solely on this basis.

- Retarget to Nestar Systems. Google Scholar and Google Books yield zero hits for
"Nestar Sakalowski"
, and main page Google results are clearly contaminated with results influenced by Wikipedia. The redirect is a result of a move to "correct spelling of name". It's unclear where the spelling "Nestar" came from as its not a romanisation from the original Belarusian and doesn't match the titles of any of the Wikis available in the languages menu. It may be from an akanye pronunciation (but not spelling) of the Russian Нестор "Nestor", but that's just a guess. Either way, it's wrong so is a less preferable target to the correct Nestar Systems. If an article for the Spanish topic is written, Nestar can be converted into a disambiguation page. Until then, Nestar Systems seems to be the only suitable target on ~enwiki. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 01:48, 17 September 2026 (UTC) - Retarget to Nestar Systems with no prejudice on the creation of a dab in the future in case the Spanish article is translated here per Scyrme --Lenticel (talk) 06:50, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

(Virions aren't living things, but virocells are; it's trivial to find sources talking about "virus biology" or the "biology of viruses", regardless of views on whether viruses are alive.) Regardless, "obelisk biology" is more like "protein biology", which is just a string of keywords, than "virus biology" or "cell biology", which are plausibly topic titles. – Scyrme (talk/solidarity) 02:19, 17 September 2026 (UTC)

- Keep, the term and it's relationship to the Stone Age is not made up but has been used by such sources as the 2021 book The Wood Age, How One Material Shaped the Whole of Human History, and the 2023 Discover magazine article "What Evidence is there for a Wood Age to Rival those of Stone-Bronze-and Iron?".

Randy Kryn (talk) 03:00, 16 September 2026 (UTC)
- Redirect idea: Wood. The main argument against using 'Wood Age' as a redirect to 'Stone Age' is that it never ended and extends across all recognized ages - humanity has been within a Wood Age from the start and it cannot be placed within a certain time frame. This argument has merit, and even though the Stone Age comprises 99% of human existence, and may seem a logical redirect target, reliance on wood as an essential natural tool has never ended. All the more reason for the term to become a stand alone article at some point. Pinging Deacon Vorbis and BDD, does redirecting to Wood make sense given at least some good sources which use the term 'Wood Age'? Randy Kryn (talk) 15:50, 16 September 2026 (UTC)
- Sorry, I actually really don't like that! Without anything relevant about the idea of the Wood Age, it would come across as extremely condescending. Imagine:
- Reader: "What's the Wood Age?"
- Wikipedia: "Oh, wood? Well, wood is a material from trees..."
- We can just about guarantee the reader will be confused and/or disappointed.
- If the Wood Age is meant to be synonymous with human history, we might consider Anthropocene, but it suffers from the same lack of mention as the other places I checked. --BDD (talk) 15:57, 16 September 2026 (UTC)
- I generally agree with this assessment, and I'll also add that this seems to be the idea/slogan/whatever of a single author, not widely accepted or used, so even a mention like "So-and-so proposes all of human history as a 'Wood Age'..." or some such would still be quite WP:UNDUE, especially since this doesn't seem to be so much an "Age" as we tend to think of them, but rather just a reminder of wood's importance as a material throughout all of human history. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:42, 16 September 2026 (UTC)

- It's shorthand for the more long-winded explanation that if you already know whom it refers to, you're likely looking for more information about the nickname specifically, and since there is none, this is misleading. And if you don't, it's potentially confusing. Is this a real nickname? Is it just something someone on WP made up? Is there any further significance to it? Again, misleading and confusing. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 18:41, 16 September 2026 (UTC)

- Delete. This appears to be connected to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (a baseball player), based on this result that gives 1,240 hits. It seems to be a nickname he goes by, though unmentioned (it does mention "Vladdy", though). There does also seem to be a connection to Vladimir Putin, based on these results. But regardless of where someone gets this term from and inputs it into Wikipedia for some reason, the current target isn't helpful. They are probably not looking for general information like Vladimir Putin's name in Cyrillic letters, or that he was the Prime Minster of Russia from 1999 to 2000 and 2008 to 2012, or that he was born in what is now Saint Petersburg. Even if readers didn't get this term from something baseball-related, the current target would waste them time (especially on mobile, where ctrl-f doesn't exist) trying to figure out where this is mentioned (it isn't). But if deleted, we're telling readers content about "Vladdy Daddy" doesn't exist, which is kind of accurate since it's not used in any articles (and we don't explain this term), and they don't have to read a 25,000+ word article for essentially nothing that is helpful.

- Although there is no consensus as to the pageviews threshold for deletion under WP:UFILM, this had 48 hits in the 90ish days before the RFD nom. Regardless of what I think, that's too high for the RFD community's comfort, especially if there are no other problems with this redirect such as other Tommy Wirkola projects in the works with which this could cause confusion. It would be safer to check again in ≈3 months and renominate if views have dropped substantially.

Not sure what to do about this one. Neither target article seems to mention anything substantial about the subject of this redirect. In addition, the article Bowser also seems to not include specific information about the subject of this redirect in a way that would satisfy a reader researching this term. However, looks like this redirect had an article here that was WP:BLARed in 2008: . Steel1943 (talk) 12:10, 15 September 2026 (UTC)
- ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. It shows up as a stage in Mario Kart 64 (and probably other MK games too), where there's a brief mention, but nothing substantial. Ditto as the final level of Super Mario World, and probably other Mario games too. I don't think we can keep these at either target, so lean delete unless anyone else has a better idea at least. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 15:23, 15 September 2026 (UTC)
- delete, essentially as a sort of hacky way to return to red. bowser has had different castles in pretty much every piece of media since his debut and childhood, outright churning through them in some games (such as new soup), and his children tend to follow suit with castles of their own, so the term hardly narrows it down. if any one castle, set of castles, or the general concept manages to have some coverage found to at least warrant a mention (or even an article), it might then be a somewhat good idea to recreate this, but i haven't found anything specific or substantial enough at the moment consarn (talk beige) (count ribs) 15:55, 15 September 2026 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Do "dry" and "dried" yeast carry different meanings?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, J947 ‡ edits 00:45, 8 September 2026 (UTC) - Delete What is the purpose of redirects like these? I would think the most likely case is that someone wants to know about "dry yeast", perhaps having seen the phrase somewhere, and wonders whether dry yeast is really something special, rather than merely an SOP, yeast that happens to be dry. WP has no information that will help them. It does not have an article "Dry yeast", or possibly "Dry and wet yeast". So the most helpful response by WP would be to say "Sorry, we confess ignorance". Is anyone seriously suggesting that it helps to redirect somewhere, anywhere, so the readers can try to puzzle out for themselves what the answer to their original question was?

No information about this character at the target. There are minor mentions at two other articles - in the plot of a book Toby, Trucks and Trouble, and in an episode Thomas & Friends series 4, and I don't see either as an alternate or suitable target.
Bulstrode the barge was created first, in May 2005, as an unsourced 4-liner that lasted only 3 minutes before it was BLAR'ed. Bulstrode (Thomas the Tank Engine) created the following month, lasted an year, although it was an unsourced stub, and was BLAR'ed as well. Its then target already had a section that had been independently written, so this was not a merge. Delete in the absence of a suitable target. Jay 03:54, 7 September 2026 (UTC)
- Update: An anon added a mention at the target yesterday. Although unsourced and with no blue links, I'm not tagging it with {{citation needed}} because most of that list page is unsourced anyway. Jay 13:33, 12 September 2026 (UTC)
- Comment, the character is a minor antagonist who only appears in one episode in the original tv series from over 30 years ago. Do we need redirects for every one off character in a tv/book franchise that has around the same amount of minor characters as Pokemon species? The Thomas & Friends fictional universe is incredibly detailed, how much should be covered in a general purpose encyclopedia instead of the dedicated Thomas wikis (of which there are dozens)?. There has been a successive trend of more deletions around Thomas content over the years as WP:NFICTION has been revised. Ultimate Norman (talk) 12:19, 13 September 2026 (UTC)
