December 25

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on December 25, 2021.

Jonah (song)

It seems to me, based on notability and reliable sourcing, that WP:PLA would have us retarget this to Jonah (Kanye West song). It seems very unlikely that any reader would be looking for disambiguation page about the word "Jonah" when searching for "Johan (song)." There's only one other song and it's from 1987 and it has been averaging less than 10 views/day for over a decade now. ––FormalDude talk 23:42, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedians who put really really long redlinked categories at the bottom of their userpage as a conversation piece

The long title suggests that the category is supposed to remain redlinked, but apparently it isn't. It should never have been recreated as a redirect, and the page was mistakenly undeleted by a former admin "to remove it from the cleanup list at Special:WantedCategories" after it was correctly deleted in 2018. But two other intentionally redlinked categories are also listed there, so the category with the long name should have remained listed there too.

I would be fine with something like "a priest and a rabbi walk into a bar, and they both say 'ouch'", but it doesn't make much of a difference to me. My only request is that it not be a political/racial/etc joke, since I prefer my userpage to be a nice place where people can have fun and relax. jp×g 05:54, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's rather less funny, unfortunately. Benjamin (talk) 08:25, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Mx. Granger: Per my comment above, anyone who wants to do this can go to my userpage, replace it with another dumb joke, and then C1 the category themselves (no discussion needed). jp×g 14:00, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Universal ruler

Unlikely search term for the current target, "universal ruler" is a term that is used in various physical sciences and design fields to refer to measuring-rulers with universal properties ([1], [2], [3]). Even in the context of rulers as in "those who rule", "universal ruler" has been used to refer to various leaders who ruled far less than the whole world (e.g. Henry_VI,_Holy_Roman_Emperor#Universal_ruler, Genghis Khan, Vikramaditya), and it is also a term that can have theological implications beyond world domination (e.g. Chakravarti (Sanskrit term)). In the absence of a suitable redirect target, I think that this redirect should be deleted. signed, Rosguill talk 18:15, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mercator projectoin

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 delete. As unopposed deletion nomination. Jay (talk) 18:39, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The only redirect with this typo for "projection". This typo is handled well by the search engine; this redirect may make it marginally quicker for readers making the typo while searching for Mercator, but it makes it a lot harder for readers who make the typo while searching for all other projections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uanfala (talk • contribs) 15:05, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Chemical infobox

Delete. Unused. Improbable variant name; incorrect variant name—the infobox is not (adjective) 'chemical'. Unused for a reason then, no need to keep non-intuitive name variants. DePiep (talk) 07:12, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, the alternative name would be {{Infobox chemical}} (btw, that name is discussed elsewhere ie not available now). wrt 'reasonable', I wrote about in my OP. -DePiep (talk) 08:53, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Quad-Ominos

Redirects to a large list of products without any explanation. Triominoes#Variants seems to be a more helpful target. ~~~~

ABC 4 Sioux Falls

Looking at this redirect's history, it appears to be created mistakenly. feminist (talk) 13:34, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Probably a reference to the major channel number of satellite station KPRY at Pierre...but not a good one, either. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:49, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Ikipedia:Snuggle/IRC/2013-07-10/Broadcast message

We don't have to keep that redirect, please remove it. Q28 (talk) 10:38, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Unlikely title that had been fixed within a minute. ~~~~

Delete per 1234qwer1234qwer4 (although the nomination statement provides no argument at all and this could have been closed as speedy keep per WP:SK#1). * Pppery * it has begun... 04:55, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fleet (Republic of Singapore Navy)

The "Fleet" consists only of the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 8th flotillas. The "current fleet" terminology on the RSN's page has a broader definition that encompasses all the flotillas. The current redirect is misleading as it does not lead to a specific formation page (like the United States 7th Fleet) and to the generalised term.

  • Comment: The page in question is only presently linked in Template:Singapore_Armed_Forces, which lists the operational commands. The template is present at the bottom of the RSN's page, and I am not entirely sure of the value of linking to itself, especially since "Fleet" is a very generic name for a command and unlikely to be googled without context.
