December 1

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on December 1, 2015.

Quark crypto-currency

Delete, basically as a follow-up to Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 January 5#Quark (cryptocurrency), where consensus was to delete it per WP:REDLINK. Also note that there's no mention of "Quark" at both Cryptocurrency and List of cryptocurrencies. -- Tavix (talk) 22:04, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

200 American

This is the name of a film, but I have no idea why it redirects to United States dollar -- Tavix (talk) 20:54, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Very strange. Probably some sort of vandalism (Edit summary: Film (name showing that the U.S. Dollar is TOP Dollar)) from an indef'd editor. There are a couple of incoming links for the film, one of which comes from director Richard LeMay. Retargeting there might be an option, though that's a new article and his notability looks questionable. --BDD (talk) 21:44, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It's extremely unlikely someone would search for 200 American expecting to find an article of the US dollar. I did check and most of the actors in this movie don't even have their own article, and I'm not surprised it isn't notable enough to have its own article because according to IMDb, it was never officially released in theaters worldwide or even nationwide. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 22:27, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bad NES Games

Delete, the angry video game nerd is by no means connected to bad NES games. There are countless YouTubers who criticize bad NES games, the only thing that makes the guy special in that case is the fact that he's the most popular one.

Also, when I look for an article on "bad NES games" I want an article about bad NES games. Such an article doesn't exist, we could redirect this to Nintendo Entertainment System, but since there is nothing in this article about NES games that people consider bad, it would make as much sense as the current redirect, so that's out of the question. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 20:34, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I was gonna leave a message on the user talk page letting the one who made the redirect know about this discussion, but since that user is blocked, I'm not going to as there would be no point as he can't be part of this discussion anyway. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 20:39, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hanno Möttola

Is is useful to have all these variations? Seems excessive and will make searching harder, while introducing bad info into the world. Legacypac (talk) 04:33, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong keep Möttölä, valid {{R from surname}}. Regular keep for the rest. I don't see them doing any harm, especially if you can't remember exactly how many umlauts there are, but know there's at least one. -- Tavix (talk) 04:54, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Aside on redirects with diacrtitics. As I've pointed out"elsewhere, the search seems to be "diacritic-insensitive". I know that didn't used to be the case, but for searching there's no need for, or advantage in having, these redirects. If editors really need to use variant forms (e.g. as they is used in sources), they can WP:PIPE it. That's what we do for many other variant forms, e.g. plurals, which are now deprecated for creation. I realise that was not always the case, but the search engine has got a bit better over the years. I'd like to get consensus to have this made explicit in MoS (unless it is already and I just can't find it); RfD is not really the right forum. However there doesn't seem to be a right forum. Si Trew (talk) 06:14, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all as maintenance headache that encourages incorrect use in articles except keep Möttölä as {{R from title without diacritics}}.
As it stands, none of these has any links beyond this discussion; none has stats above noise level (<1 a day). Si Trew (talk) 06:14, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Mottola is an article about an Italian town, it's not a redirect and not included in this discussion... -- Tavix (talk) 06:51, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You're right, I did actually check this too... amended mine above, I meant the full name without diacritics. Si Trew (talk) 06:53, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The full name without diacritics hasn't been nominated either. :P -- Tavix (talk) 07:06, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
grrr... I meant the one with the diacritics... I pared down from three to one, and twice got it wrong one. Surely this is right now? :) Si Trew (talk) 07:40, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I only nom'd the ones by Neelix is why. Legacypac (talk) 07:13, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Egregiosities

My tenancy to do badly on math tests is not evil. None of these have anything to do with evil. Legacypac (talk) 21:00, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Bearcat: what is Category:Temporary maintenance holdings? I can't figure out why egregious is there with no content instead of being a redlink. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 21:36, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I had to add that category because of a system bug that sometimes hits soft redirects to Wiktionary or Wikisource. Normally, the system treats a soft redirect as what it is — however, for reasons that have never really been explained to me, if somebody tries to convert a soft redirect into an article, and then it gets converted back into a soft redirect again because dicdef or whatever, then the system no longer recognizes it as a soft redirect. Instead, it now permanently considers the page to be an uncategorized article, and lists it on all the tools we use to detect and tag uncategorized articles — and there's no other way to ever make it drop from those lists again, except by finding a way to "categorize" it. If you read the usage note on Category:Temporary maintenance holdings, it explains what the category is for — this bug is the principal reason why it ended up being necessary, and most but not all of the articles in it were put there for this reason. The categorization project can't have pages like this cluttering up our project tools, so just letting it stay as a permanent feature of the uncategorized pages list wasn't an option. Bearcat (talk) 03:54, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oh I get it, thanks for explaining. I was confused why the category was on a page with no content, but I somehow managed to miss the giant wiktionary redirect box at the top of the page. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 14:39, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"erroneous" (itself a DAB) is not the same as "error". (You can't have ërrorly"). I've changed it at bad. Si Trew (talk) 01:49, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dee dee dee

Although Mencia makes a sound like this in some of his comedy routines, I don't think it's notable enough or a meaningful search term. It's not mentioned in any form at his article. Retargeting to King Dedede could be an option, but I'm leaning delete. --BDD (talk) 16:36, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, BDD (talk) 19:20, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as vague and since "DDD" does not equal "Dee dee dee". This discussion reminds me of the various radio relay language redirects that were nominated somewhat recently; phonetic spelling of letters are just about as confusing. (Funny; I thought that these redirects currently targeted King Dedede when I saw it in the TOC.) Steel1943 (talk) 22:06, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

University of Hertfordshire Press

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was speedy deleted, G6, by Ponyo. (non-admin closure) -- Tavix (talk) 21:58, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Page with this title has been created in draft space and cannot be accepted. LaMona (talk) 18:49, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy close This discussion is simply a waste of time, the redirect is eligible for speedy deletion per {{db-move}}. -- Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 19:30, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page.

Google (noun)

This makes no sense—WP:RFD#DELETE #2 and #5. Google itself is a (proper) noun, as is Googol, but neither of those seem like appropriate targets, as they're not about a noun. The search term implies an article on a part of speech. BDD (talk) 16:02, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kilogoogle

I don't know what these neologisms have to do with Google as a verb. I'd imagine they're nouns for describing magnitude of Google search results. --BDD (talk) 15:57, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Google+(verb)

Jokes about the site's popularity aside, this has nothing to do with Google+. BDD (talk) 15:54, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Global cooperation

Not synonymous. Global cooperation has more to do with intergovernmental interaction like Foreign policy. Globalization is more to do with the spread of cultural ideas and icons. Mr. Guye (talk) 14:55, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Multilateralism as a good fit. Legacypac (talk) 19:36, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It might be the best fit of these options, but I don't know if it's good enough. "Global cooperation" definitely implies a worldwide scale, and many instances of multilateralism are really only regional. --BDD (talk) 21:46, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that was kinda my concern with it too. Maybe a Wp:CONCEPTDAB would be good? 127.0.0.1 (talk) 00:47, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Contour (camera system)

Delete for the following reasons: The target does not contains the word "contour". Moreover, this redirect is usurpatory, as the word "contour" is commonly used in computer vision (a domain very close to the subject of the target). Unfortunately this use of "contour" is very close to its use in common language, and I cannot find any acceptable target. Certainly Contour (computer vision) would be a right target, but this article does not exist yet D.Lazard (talk) 09:54, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Feed me

Implausible typo/misnomer - Feed Me is a proper noun. (see WP:R3) The redirect was created nearly 4 years ago, therefore it is not recent enough to be speedily deleted. Thexperimentalist (talk) 05:20, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If that is done the same should be done for Feed Me as well.--72.0.200.133 (talk) 18:36, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
When we do that, then Feed Me should be displaced to Feed Me (musician) -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 23:14, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

File:Dream 1989.jpg

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was Procedural close. The redirect will be deleted per speedy deletion criterion G8 if its target is deleted. No reason was provided to expedite the redirect's deletion past the file's, so closing this. (non-admin closure) Steel1943 (talk) 22:17, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to a non-free orphaned file Mlpearc (open channel) 05:14, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page.

Crown of japan

Confusing. Likely to imply something to do with the Emperor of Japan to most people. I can't find any evidence that this is used as a common name for the plant. It appears to be an English phonetic "translation" of the French common name "crosnes du Japon" Plantdrew (talk) 04:13, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
