Ivan, Ontario
[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- The result of the discussion was Withdrawn Thryduulf (talk) 15:28, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
- Ivan, Ontario → Middlesex Centre (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
There is no mention of Ivan at the target article and a reader will find nothing about it there. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 20:11, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Shhhnotsoloud: Why don't you just add the names of the missing communities to Middlesex Centre? Magnolia677 (talk) 20:35, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Magnolia677: why didn't I? Because I would never have found that source. Why didn't you? Never mind, I've done it now. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:55, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
- Retarget to User:Ivanvector. -- Tavix (talk) 01:25, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
- Ha ha ha, but yeah I grew up 20km from there, and I've driven up Middlesex County Road 17 a hundred million times, and I don't remember this crossroads ever having been signed "Ivan". I thought it was Varna, or "where you turn to get to Scott's place", or "that hill where you have to take your foot off the gas on the way to Grand Bend". However, it is unambiguous: there is not another Ivan, Ontario. So, marginally, keep. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 01:52, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
- Withdrawn by nom: thanks to Magnolia for the source (and to Ivanvector for his trip down memory lane!). I've added a comprehensive list to the article. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:55, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Ethnic minorities in British media

- Ethnic minorities in British media → Muslims in British media (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This redirect only exists because of a move to a more correct page title, as Muslims and ethnic minorities are different things. Helloimahumanbeing (talk) 19:34, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. This is a redirect from a move, but the target was at this less than a day and the sole author prior to the move has contributed since so they will be able to find it. I would have preferred a redirect to an article that does discuss ethnic minorities in British media but I've not been able to find any. Thryduulf (talk) 10:13, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
- Löschen. Obvious case of a

Type casting

- The result of the discussion was retarget to Typecasting (disambiguation). Unanimous support, so consider this a "withdraw". (non-admin closure) Steel1943 (talk) 15:45, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

- Type cast → Typecasting (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Doesn't seems that the target is traditionally known by the version of the phrase that has a space. For this reason, I'm thinking these redirects should be retargeted to Typecasting (disambiguation). Steel1943 (talk) 18:56, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Zxcvbnm, SnowFire, Necrothesp, and SMcCandlish: Pinging participants of Talk:Typecasting#Requested move 26 November 2019. Steel1943 (talk) 20:07, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- Be bold and just retarget it to the disambig page. Unclear this even required discussion since those originally redirected to the disambig page anyway. SnowFire (talk) 20:21, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- A hard consensus for this wasn't completely clear in the discussion. There seemed to be support for it, but it wasn't mentioned across the board. Steel1943 (talk) 21:06, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- Retarget to disambiguation Per SnowFire.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 20:40, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- Agreed that retargeting to disambig is the best solution. I have actually seen typecasting in the film/tv sense spelled with a space, but it seems rare. If I saw it with a space I think I would assume that movable type was the referent. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 11:08, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was keep. --BDD (talk) 17:28, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- Clown college → Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Per circus school, this is not the only school where one can study to be a clown. Suggest retargeting or deletion. Smartyllama (talk) 00:53, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
- Retarget to circus school, as a "Clown College" is basically the same thing, and it shouldn't point to a specific school. James-the-Charizard (talk to me!) (contribs) 05:30, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep and hatnote to circus school Ringling's seems to be the only one that consistently uses the Clown College term. [1] [2] Most schools use clown school and those can redirect to circus school. [3] Also note that Clown College redirects to Ringling's AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:37, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep and hatnote per AngusWOOF. The circus school article is sufficiently stubby that it's not a particularly high-value target for a redirect, and it seems correct that the Ringling Bros one is the only one that's consistently referred to itself as a Clown College. With a hatnote, I think the best balance is struck. ~ mazca talk 12:12, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Steel1943 (talk) 17:48, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep and hatnote per the above. PS: agreed with James-the-C. and Dmehus that future disambiguation is a possibility, e.g. after clown-instruction-specific expansion at circus school, or a spinoff article. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 11:05, 4 December 2019 (UTC); rev'd. 19:19, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep and add hatnote to circus school per above. --Lenticel (talk) 01:44, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep per above. The hatnote could be useful. Future disambiguation might also be a possibility, too, as James-the-Charizard makes a strong case. I would be supportive of retargeting to Clown school with a similar hatnote as well. I'm pleasantly surprised to see SMcCandlish participate in RFD, which is arguably the friendliest and most collegial of the XfDs, if I might say so. Doug Mehus T·C 02:51, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
- I make my rounds. Most XfD's don't attract my attention unless I'm notified/pinged, and then I tend to plough through the remainder of them on the same day's worth of listings. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 20:03, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
- Ah, interesting. Cool. I'll try and remember to ping you when I see an interesting RfD in which I think you'd like to weigh in, assuming that's not allowed. I should it's probably okay because it's only one ping and, crucially, I'd have absolutely no idea which way you would be inclined to support. So the ping would be entirely neutral. Doug Mehus T·C 16:43, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
- Dmehus, that's rather the opposite of what I advised with regard to pinging people. If you keep drawing particular people to discussions, it looks like WP:FACTION behavior. And overuse of the tool can be a bit oppressive. E.g., when I logged in just now, I had 6 new "alerts" waiting. They were all you. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 17:28, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was no consensus , leaning keep. A redirect that few would have created, but fewer still would see as harmful. (non-admin closure) – Uanfala (talk) 00:34, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- Death of Dennis Ritchie → Dennis Ritchie#Death (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Found it initially in the "Deaths by person in the United States" category, redirects to Dennis Ritchie. His death is not a notable event and really does not need a redirect page. Greyjoy talk 09:28, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Not useful and not a potential article. Johnuniq (talk) 09:42, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep with 57 views last year this is clearly a useful redirect, that takes people to the only content they could be looking for. Absolutely no benefit to deletion. Thryduulf (talk) 13:38, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- Löschen. 57 views per year is clearly not useful. Ritchie's death was not a notable event, and the stats back up that this is not something actively searched for. -- Tavix (talk) 16:26, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- So we should make it harder for nearly 5 people a month to find the content they are looking for while providing no benefit to anybody? What is your justification for treating readers so poorly? Thryduulf (talk) 17:38, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- You're conflating pageviews with usefulness. We cannot presume that everyone who uses a redirect is helped by it. Hypotheticals aside, the nominator's rationale is an example of someone who used the redirect and was disappointed by where they ended up. -- Tavix (talk) 12:15, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
- Its absence could provide a benefit to readers: it would reduce the search results, and so make them more relevant. Undoubtedly I would benefit by having a bus stop directly outside my front door, but its absence benefits other passengers. 94.21.78.76 (talk) 05:33, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

- Keep: Useful and harmless redirect. Neither rare usage nor lacking in notability are reasons to delete redirects. Geolodus (talk) 17:23, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

- I just added it; I don't see why you'd have to wait for the closure to do something that uncontroversial. Glades12 (talk) 18:52, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
- Weak keep BDD summarizes my thoughts well. I wouldn't have created this, but I wouldn't have deleted this. It doesn't hurt the wiki for this redirect to exist. There is incoming traffic to this redirect, enough to warrant it be kept. ~riley (talk) 06:06, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Perhaps not delete, but I think the target is wrong here.

- Comment. We have both Religious hatred and Religious intolerance, but neither is perfect. 94.21.78.76 (talk) 15:13, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment Religious hatred redirects to Religious intolerance - probably the best fit, perhaps with a hatnote to redirect to Blasphemy? I think that article needs to be better defined though, so as to include hate speech and/or terrorist acts and/or political/community groups which are targeted against a specific religion; and linked via See also to Hate speech. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 06:05, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- Clerk note - @Laterthanyouthink: What's your suggestion? Disambiguate? Retarget an article of your choice? Deryck C. 18:16, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
- Response to clerk note - I reckon retarget to Religious intolerance. I'll put it on my list to edit the lead of that article to suit. (I don't know about the "Vilification of religion" redirect mentioned above - that's an odd phrase and I'd probably get rid of it altogether, myself.) Laterthanyouthink (talk) 00:21, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Steel1943 (talk) 17:47, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- I would retarget both religious vilification and vilification of religion to religious intolerance. Both terms are vague and broad, but so is that target article, which (briefly) covers both intolerance of one religious majority against other religions, and general intolerance toward or suppression of religion. The page really could use a lot of development (e.g. communist progroms against religious communities resulting in millions of deaths; recent-ish controversies surrounding "new atheism" (Richard Dawkins, etc.). But even as it stands now, it's a reasonable target. I don't think either term could be useful for a stand-alone article, so red-linking it would a) imply WP has nothing to offer on the subject, which is wrong, and b) inspire creation of WP:Content forks, which would also be wrong. The target blasphemy really makes no sense, though. PS: I tend to suspect that religious hatred should merge to religious intolerance. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 19:29, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks SMcCandlish, agree that the article could be improved greatly. Religious hatred does currently redirect to religious intolerance though, when I enter it; there is no separate article. Shall I go ahead and do the redirects, or is it for one of the clerks or admins here to do? (Just ping me to make sure I see it, if I need to act.)

- 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.

- Spindle (fire making) → Fire making (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
The article doesn't indicate that there is a fire-making tool called a spindle, nor that "spindle" in fire making has a definition anything other than the regular use of the word. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:37, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
- Which regular use of the word? 94.21.78.76 (talk) 15:18, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. A spindle is a component of a bow drill and a pump drill which are used for fire making, but spindle in this context doesn't have any special meaning beyond a normal use of the word. However, since the spindle is in fact mentioned in the "Friction" section of fire making, the redirect has at least minimal utility. Since redirects are cheap, minimal utility is enough to keep it. Gnome de plume (talk) 15:24, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment If this is kept (I'm unsure if I support this currently) it should be refined to the Fire making#Friction section. Thryduulf (talk) 14:31, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Wine store
[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 retarget to Liquor store. I'll also tag with {{R from subtopic}}. -- Tavix (talk) 18:09, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
- Wine store → Liquor store (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Wine shop → Enoteca (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I don't think these two should have different targets. By its own description, an enoteca is just one type of wine shop. On the other hand, a liquor store is a broader topic. There's no reason we couldn't have an article at one of these titles (compare Beer shop), but I don't think deletion would be productive here. Right now, I'm leaning towards Liquor store as the target. Thoughts? --BDD (talk) 20:50, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
- Agree, Liquor store for both. Johnbod (talk) 22:08, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
- Liquor store with hatnote to enoteca. If there's a third target, I would also support a DAB page. Wug·a·po·des 00:19, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
- Send both to enoteca. A liquor store sells all kinds of alcohol; an enoteca focuses on wine and the literal meaning of "enoteca" is "wine store". Deryck C. 18:05, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Steel1943 (talk) 17:43, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- Retarget both to liquor store with redirects here hatnote to go to enoteca and winery. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:05, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
- Retarget both to enoteca per Deryck Chan above. I was going to say Liquor store, but enoteca is a more specific target. This should be without prejudice to potential creation of a disambiguation page, which I just might do. I support the hatnote(s) proposed by AngusWOOF, though. (Full disclosure: my sister manages a non-notable wine store in Calgary.) --Doug Mehus T·C 02:57, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

- Retarget to liquor store, a plain-English term and what most people will be thinking of. Enoteca is an Italian thing, a narrow subset; it's a term unfamiliar to probably 99.99% of our readers, and to the extent it pertains to the English-speaking world at all, it's going to be something found only in major cities for the most part (and particularly wine-connected suburban enclaves like the California wine country just north of San Francisco). I agree that we could possibly have a spinoff article, similar to Beer shop, but until then, liquor store is the appropriate target. It's perfectly fine for a redirect to be a subset of the target article's scope, but it's often confusing and unhelpful for the target to be a subset of the redirect's scope. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 19:36, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

American Indian history
[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 mixed. This is a messy close, but it looks like we have a weak consensus to keep American Indian history and retarget the other three redirects to Indigenous peoples of the Americas#History, with no prejudice against creating a disambiguation page. signed, Rosguill talk 23:37, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Given that native Americans aren't confined to the US, wouldn't it make sense for these redirects to go somewhere else? Native American and American Indian are both dab pages, so one solution is to create a dab page here as well. Another is to retarget to the article with the broadest scope: Indigenous peoples of the Americas#History. – Uanfala (talk) 02:28, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
- Retarget to the last proposed entry (IpotA#H). Certainly History of Native Americans in Canada is a notable topic too and may warrant a redirect. Ditto for any other entities (History of Native Americans in Mexico, History of Native Americans in Cuba...?).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:11, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep Contemplated closing these, but these are appropriately targeted. To me, Native Americans are Indigenous peoples in the United States. Library of Congress takes this view, though they use hierarchical subdivisions to class by geography (i.e., Canada).
- Alternatively, would support Delete but I think retargeting doesn't make sense here. Doug Mehus T·C 01:39, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

- "American Indian" is not usually just used for the United States, at least not in the global context in which wikipedia is positioned. – Uanfala (talk) 22:07, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- Really? I'm in Canada and I tend to use the term "First Nations"; rarely do I use Indigenous, and never do I use the terms "Indian" and "Aboriginal" and certainly never with "American" to refer to a non-American Indian. Do you have some sources showing common usage outside of North America for non-American "American Indians"?--Doug Mehus T·C 22:19, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- I'm on the other side of the pond and I'm used to seeing the term referring either as a whole to the native peoples of the Americas (both North and South, as in this book), or specifically to the ones in the US (as here). I don't have particular knowledge of the topic area (or of English for that matter), as that's why I brought this for discussion here. However, if the general feeling is that "American Indian" has the US ethnicities as a primary topic, then someone needs to make the case for that as the tacit consensus so far appears to have been otherwise (American Indian redirects to a disambiguation page, and has been a disambiguation page for most of its chequered history). – Uanfala (talk) 00:38, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

- Weak retarget to Indigenous peoples of the Americas#History. I do think a great majority of readers searching either of these terms will be looking for groups indigenous to the present-day United States, but if the base terms are treated as ambiguous (i.e., with no primary topic), these really should be too. --BDD (talk) 16:11, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

- I'd support the redirect target identified by administrator BDD, but now that I think about it, I also like Headbomb's disambiguation proposal; I'm just not clear on what that disambiguation would look like. Perhaps if Headbomb could post a potential dab page on the top redirect, it'd give us a better idea. --Doug Mehus T·C 01:41, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep the first ("American Indian" is a rather US term for a US context). Retarget the rest to Indigenous peoples of the Americas#History. As for Canada, the usual term is First Nations, though I agree redirects using "Native Americans in Canada" can and should exist, targeting the appropriate Canadian articles, since not everyone who isn't a Canadian is familiar with the term "First Nations". — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 19:40, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

- Tail wagging the dog → Fallacy of composition (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
There is no mention of this redirect at the target article, and I'm not sure the article really deals with the phrase. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:33, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- soft redirect to Wiktionary wikt:tail wagging the dog. There a loads of mentions of this term, and it's a very likely search term, but I can't find an encyclopaedia article that deals with it. The idiom is explained at Wiktionary for those who don't know what it means, which is quite a likely reason for searching for it (particularly for non-native speakers), and it is not explained anywhere on Wikipedia I can find. Thryduulf (talk) 10:18, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
- It's only mentioned at the wiktionary though. Otherwise Wag the Dog (disambiguation) might be feasible. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:02, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
- Soft redirect to wikt:tail wagging the dog per administrator Thryduulf above. AngusWOOF's redirect to Wag the Dog (disambiguation) is also a good idea which I'd be supportive of, potentially with a Wiktionary definition link to wikt:tail wagging the dog How come, though, when I added a soft redirect to wikt:red cunt hair for Cunt hair, it was summarily deleted? Legit question: what's our standards for when to create soft redirects to Wiktionary for Wikipedia redirects that don't have articles? --Doug Mehus T·C 03:04, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
- Firstly my being an administrator is completely irrelevant here. Second, soft redirects to Wiktionary are generally only used when the term is likely to be searched for, there is no suitable article in Wikipedia, we are unlikely to be able to write an article that is encyclopaedic (as opposed to dictionaric) content, and there is relevant content at Wiktionary that is more useful than search results or a disambiguation page. In the case of Cunt hair there was no relevant content at Wiktionary. However as Red cunt hair exits as a redirect to Cunt#Derived meanings, and that section gives the same meaning to both "cunt hair" and "red cunt hair" I've created the former as a redirect there. Thryduulf (talk) 10:29, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
- Soft redir per Thryduulf, though I do believe we could write an encyclopedic article about it. It's a term with significant cultural resonance. The concept is the subject (not just title) of a major feature film. And so on. However, I'm not certain it's actually likely that such an article would be written. I've generally been a fan of the principle of redlinking to inspire article creation, but in this case, I think that a) reader desire for an explanation is going to be high, and Wikitionary provides one, and b) the majority of imaginable attempts to create this article are going to be WP:NOTDICT failures (it takes a fair amount of work, and a good handle on the difference between dictionarian and encyclopedic writing, to create a WP-worthy article about a phrase). — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 19:46, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
- SMcCandlish, oh it's nice to hear another person who is a fan of deleting redirects per the reason to inspire article creation. That argument often gets overshadowed by the "cheap" argument of late. Doug Mehus T·C 16:48, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

I wasn't sure if a CSD criterion could apply (housekeeping, maybe?), but this redirect with the period was created in error following an undeletion and move to draft namespace by AfD closer SilkTork upon a request from JzG. Inclusion of the trailing period in the article name seems to have been an entirely accidental typo on SilkTork's part, which JzG promptly and dutifully corrected. Thus, the article has now been moved to the draft namespace at the proper article name, and so I thought I should move this redirect for discussion principally on housekeeping and implausible typo grounds.

The target page is sorted by number by the "national" numbering scheme. The list is not sorted or sortable in any other fictional area's Pokédex scheme. Steel1943 (talk) 00:41, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- Note: List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number, List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number and List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number are {{R from merge}}s. Steel1943 (talk) 00:42, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep these for R from merge, and for the assumption that the rest of the redirects included previously redirected to the "R from merge" redirects, only to have been a fixed double redirect. If not the case, my following rationale still applies, in that these names are still plausible search terms. While the target article may not have been sorted, it fulfills the purpose that people would search for that article: being to find the Pokemon in Hoenn's Pokedex, Sinnoh's Pokedex, etc. In addendum, the Pokemon are sorted by generation on the target page, meaning that for someone searching for a list of Pokemon from a region's Pokedex, their search will be successful as the information pertaining to their search is present, even if "Hoenn" or "Sinnoh" aren't present. I'm not going to bring up the NatDex debate. Utopes (talk) 04:01, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- ...The problem with retaining the {{R from merge}} redirects in their current form/title is that the content of those redirects is technically not in the target article. As search terms, the aforementioned redirects' titles are misleading. If there is a way to move their edit histories to move valid titles (probably as a "List of Pokémon (###–###)" form or something of the like), I'd support them being retained, but as it stands, readers will not find the specific information or sorting function in the target article as named by the nominated redirects.

- Delete per Steel1943. Just assorted crufty stuff, nothing of value will be lost when they are deleted.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 07:11, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete as above. This is leftover stuff that was likely copied from Bulbapedia. There's no mention of using the national pokedex numbers except from those websites https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pokémon_by_Johto_Pokédex_number The main list of pokemon mention that some generations are associated with specific regions such as Johto, but the individual Generation pages do not have those sequences renumbered. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:31, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
- Löschen. Misleading redirect, and probably an
{{R from merge}}
that would have been better off as suppressed redirect. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 19:58, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

- SMcCandlish, oh, interesting...can revision(s) be restored from one deleted article and added in, chronologically, to the revision history of a current page, or do you mean the admin would have to pull the deleted revisions and paste them into the talkpage of a current page?
