This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on April 21, 2024.

Spray paint

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 keep. Discussion should be held via WP:RM.. (non-admin closure) Mdewman6 (talk) 03:55, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Based on WP:COMMONNAME, "spray paint" seems a more suitable title of the article, and "aerosal paint" be used as a redirect. -- NotCharizard 🗨 03:52, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. 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).

First Battle of Siversk

Delete. Battle of Siversk was merged on the basis that there was no substantial event that would be identified by the article title (see Talk:Battle of Siversk#Merge proposal). First Battle of Siversk was created on the premise that there soon would be a "second battle". However, if there were to be a battle for this town, either now or in the future, it would not be known as either the "first" or the "second" battles.

Creek Massacre

Terrible redirect, there were numerous Foo Creek massacres, such as Indian Creek massacre, Myall Creek massacre, Waterloo Creek massacre, and on and on. Delete. Mdewman6 (talk) 02:56, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Mixed feelings, a Google search suggests that the Sand Creek massacre is by far the most common topic for the phrase, though it is never referred to without the "Sand. Perhaps Dabify? Rusalkii (talk) 02:58, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It would only make sense to have a primary redirect or a dab page if it (or any of the others) were referred to by simply "Creek massacre". I don't believe there is evidence for that. We shouldn't have dab pages for phrases that are only partial title matches, as WP:PTMs should not be included on disambiguation pages. Mdewman6 (talk) 03:18, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2020 Games

The Summer Olympics are not known simply as "Games". See also Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 January 3#2022 Games. Mia Mahey (talk) 02:22, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I'll note, they are in many occasions, such as [1] [2] [3], none of which use the "summer" qualifier but do refer to the 2024 as Games. These aren't the Winter Olympics. There's the colloquial Olympics, and the Winter Olympics. The word "summer" is often dropped on most occasions when discussing the Olympics that take place in the summer, so I wouldn't consider the winter games to be on the same level. 2008 Games and 1992 Games are current redirects to their respective Olympics and have existed since 2007 and 2006, respectively. This is in conjunction with similar titles such as 2006 Winter Games and/or 2014 Winter Games as expected. These were created through AfC so I don't have a strong attachment, but if you have any alternate titles that have a higher significant usage of "2020 Games" that could be useful to note.
