2017 Atlantic hurricane season

[edit]
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 there seems to be consensus that an article should be created at this title, so that article will be restored. -- Tavix (talk) 18:53, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Legitimate article about the upcoming season was redirected to tropical cyclone naming, which includes very little information on the season (only a list of names, to be precise). Either the article should be restored as a future-class article for the remaining 18 days until the start of the 2017 Atlantic tropical cyclone year or the redirect should be retargeted to Atlantic hurricane season, which at least gives more useful information on the topic of an Atlantic hurricane season than a list of names. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 22:58, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I strongly disagree that the article should be restored yet when there is not any significant coverage of the season on either google or google news. I do not disagree with Ks0stm's thinking that this is a legitimate article, however, i seriously question the need to have the article before say March, April or May, when only 2 forecast agencies have provided details on what they think the season will do.Jason Rees (talk) 20:23, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment If there are 2 forecast agencies that have provided details, then the article page should be created. In two weeks, the fact that there has not been any Atlantic tropical storms will be a fact the article should declare. Not starting this page until the millisecond it's no longer talking about a notable future event and is talking about a current event seems unreasonable.--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:03, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with this for sure, there have already been numerous forecasts released, so the article should be created. Jdcomix (talk) 12:35, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There have not been numerous forecasts released by scientific agencies predicting what the AHS will do. There's only been two and those do not contain much information which isn't speculative and reliable. As a result I fail to see why we should be creating the article so early.Jason Rees (talk) 14:34, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I fail to see why two weeks is "so early".--Prosfilaes (talk) 01:11, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, the article should be created. What is the harm in making the article? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:06, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 17:17, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The term is not ambiguous, delete per disambiguation convention. See also User talk:117Avenue#Election redirects. 117Avenue (talk) 19:54, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete It is a redirect with "(disambiguation)" in the title that does not redirect to a dab page, nor is there an appropriate dab page available.— Gorthian (talk) 04:41, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • In general, wrong-number dab pages are a rather ingenious method of resolving the eternally irritating problem of Nova Scotia election numbering — much better than the idiotic idea I came up with (and more wisely self-dismissed) of just slashing them all as "40/62/63". But indeed, a dab page doesn't really need to exist until there actually are two items to dab. Delete, without prejudice against recreation as a dab page once the creation of the next-next election's article actually justifies it. Bearcat (talk) 22:20, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete, also per WP:G7. -- Tavix (talk) 18:47, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is a reference to a hoax, an allusion to the "Boaty McBoatface" naming controversy of the target article, that a Chinese zoo named a baby gorilla "Harambe McHarambeface". The target section no longer exists, and probably should never be restored. --BDD (talk) 15:23, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(eubot) Delete as WP:RFD#D8. Hungarian, not a Germanic umlaut. Si Trew (talk) 11:57, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. This is the Dutch, West Frisian and Afrikaans word for "good" and the soft mutated form of the Welsh word "coed" (wood, trees) but none of these are useful to en.wp and I can't find any other potential targets that are. Thryduulf (talk) 12:34, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Yet more User:Eubot crap, treating ä/ae, ö/oe, and ü/ue in all languages and alphabets as if every umlauted vowel is German. I'd bet the bot is generating similar nonsense with Scandinavian vowels like å and ø. (I know it's doing so with Wade–Giles transliterations from Chinese, turning ü into ue.)

This redirect was deleted here per criterium R3, but was recreated by the original creator. The first line of the song, Welcome to My House, is already a redirect. Absolutely no reason to have a misspelt text line as a redirect. T*U (talk) 09:33, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(Neelix) Not plausible search term. Not X1 since it has been edited, but I can't seem to find an option other than deletion or a Wiktionary redirect. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 08:40, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was no consensus. --BDD (talk) 16:53, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Do we really need all of these redirects which misspell the word "chief"? Shouldn't the fact that Cheif redirects to Chief be enough? Having all of these redirects exist could lead to incoming links to the misspellings which may never be corrected. Steel1943 (talk) 23:01, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Deryck C. 18:40, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think this level of hits shows evidence of utility, it's less than 1 per day over 90 days prior to the nomination for all of these pages. The difference with mine is that it's a common, plausible error that the search engine will not correct for. The few users (more likely bots) searching "cheif" in error will still get to the pages they're looking for if the redirects are gone. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 12:00, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note that the default view presented by the stats tool (and what is linked above) shows only human views, bots are counted separately. Thryduulf (talk) 13:34, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Thryduulf: really? I thought it just counted page loads, and couldn't differentiate between human readers and, say, webcrawlers. Has it changed? Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:32, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Ivanvector: The old utility, stats.grok.se, could indeed not distinguish but the modern Pageviews tool on labs (I guess we've been using it for about a year?) has various options on the side, one of which is for "Agent" which filters views by the user agent string, which defaults to humans - see the FAQ. Thryduulf (talk) 21:35, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Neat, I'm learning a whole bunch of things this weekend about how our tools work. I suppose if they're actually in use then they should be kept. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 22:19, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Invalid redirect, nothing to disambiguate, but Lists of albums would be a better target nevertheless. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 00:04, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or retarget. This is getting an average of 44 hits every day (over 150 on some days) and was created by BDD with the summary that it appeared on WP:TOPRED and it's linked from three articles, so it's obviously performing some function. I don't understand what that is at present but I don't think that a redlink here is going to be beneficial. Thryduulf (talk) 01:10, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    It occurs when someone messes up piping a link to an album article with an ambiguator. Having it bluelinked is not beneficial as it means the editor in question doesn't notice the link is broken. —Xezbeth (talk) 07:59, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
