@Artoria2e5:. Dendrobaena veneta has priority over D. hortensis. If there is a species complex, it should be at D. veneta, right? Am I missing something? It's not a matter of restructuring the D. hortensis article, D. veneta needs an article of its own. Plantdrew (talk) 14:42, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Plantdrew: Well… yes. The move was initially done because I saw a page under the "D. veneta" name near-exclusively using the "E. hortensis" name in the text. —Artoria2e5 🌉 14:57, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was no consensus. Keep has a sizable lead in the !vote count, but I'm not seeing a clear winner in the actual discussion between keep and delete. signed, Rosguill talk 18:33, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Another pointless Wiktionary symbol redirect. The wiktionary target here is useless, consisting of a single word (the unicode character name) with no attempt at explaining what this symbol actually means or when it is used. This also fails the conditions for soft redirection laid out at WP:SSRT, this is neither a commonly wikified words or a page that has been repeatedly recreated. 192.76.8.77 (talk) 17:06, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. All single unicode characters should be blue links, and Neel.arunabh has expanded the target at Wiktionary so that it gives an explanation of the meaning and how it is used. The WP:SOFTSP guideline is not a set of requirements that every soft redirect must meet, but a guideline that lists the most common situations where one is appropriate. Thryduulf (talk) 20:11, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Per nom, it serves no purpose. Zaathras (talk) 13:09, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Löschen per nom. I also think a WP:REDLINK-type deletion would be beneficial because I'm surprised that I can't find a good article for this to target. -- Tavix (talk) 15:42, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Tavix: What else, other than the definition that now exists at Wiktionary, is there to say about this character? Thryduulf (talk) 20:24, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The concept of between in mathematics. -- Tavix (talk) 21:04, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Which, if there is enough to sustain an article (my research has failed to find anything that suggests there is) would be at a title like Between (mathematics) and contain nothing about this character other than a definition. Iff that article is written the by all means retarget it there, but until such time we do people a disservice by dropping people (sometimes after several clicks) into a search results page that will contain no relevant information other than, possibly, a link to the Wiktionary entry we could have taken them to directly and conveniently. Thryduulf (talk) 03:24, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Knock it off with the exaggeration. If you search this character, there is a box on the right side that says Results from sister projects with a link to the Wiktionary page. It's one click from the search page and it's one click via a soft redirect. There's no difference. Also, if your research fails to find anything worthwhile, then it's not going to be a plausible search term and would thus fail the criteria for soft redirects to Wiktionary. -- Tavix (talk) 03:35, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Firstly every individual unicode character with a defined meaning is a plausible search term, this is widely established (otherwise we would routinely link them in the tables of unicode characters or routinely keep them here. Secondly, there is no exaggeration - search results are not guaranteed to contain links to Wiktionary, nor are they always immediately presented to a searcher (what they see depends what device they are using, how they are navigating and whether they can start new articles; for example someone following a redlink on desktop will be invited to search and/or create an article first and have to choose to look at search results), so even if someone does see the sister projects box, and does immediately recognise that it's the only useful thing they will see from the internal search results, then it's not always just a single click away. Thirdly, I didn't say that my research found anything worthwhile - the internal search engine found nothing relevant, external search engines found content suitable for Wiktionary but not for Wikipedia.
    Finally, not a single benefit of deletion over a soft redirect has been established - even if the Wiktionary article were always one click away after deletion (which it wouldn't be) then it would still offer no advantages over the soft redirect. Thryduulf (talk) 09:54, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Eviolite's revelations demonstrate a need for an article explaining these symbols, the differences between them, and how they are used. Wiktionary cannot do that justice. -- Tavix (talk) 18:56, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I fail to see what is accomplished by deleting this. WP:R#D10 doesn't apply here since nobody would create an article at the Unicode character, and the target does provide significant information on this character. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:58, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep; seems to have an appropriate explanation. 1234qwer1234qwer4 13:31, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Kommentar - Should all single Unicode characters have an extant page where there is a single reasonable target? That is a good question which cannot be litigated here where through discussions on individual items. Perhaps a wider community discussion on the matter might be a good idea. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 23:29, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Consensus here has long been that individual unicode characters (outside the private use area) are plausible search terms - every time the evidence of page views etc is presented it's clear that people do look up these characters on Wikipedia (and frankly why wouldn't they?). There is no disagreement that when there is a single reasonable target the characters should redirect to that. The disagreement here is over whether there is a reasonable target or not. The other type of disagreement about single characters are over (1) which of multiple reasonable targets is best; and (2) whether a red link/search results are better than (one or more) target(s) that are alright but not great.

  • Do not close prematurely. The example currently used in Wiktionary does not make any sense and is not attested anywhere; likely just a (misguided) attempt to apply the name "between" literally. See wikt:Wiktionary:Tea room/2022/May#≬. Right now, it seems that we are redirecting to a page that consists of nothing but the Unicode character name and unverifiable, likely factual errors; I'm not comfortable having the discussion end before a conclusion on what the symbol actually means (if it does mean anything standard). eviolite (talk) 13:25, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for taking the lead on this. Given the lack of response, I went ahead and reverted Neel.arunabh's additions. He has been banned from English Wikipedia for similar antics, so this comes at no surprise to me. -- Tavix (talk) 18:52, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Emoji#Joining. signed, Rosguill talk 19:34, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I stumbled upon this confusing set of redirects today for some reason, and I fail to understand why these emojis were placed together or if they have anything in common (i.e. What does a cat have in common with a rocket?). I then searched the target for clues, but it doesn't seem to provide any information on why these redirects were created. Deletion seems to be the only way to go here, unless someone finds a better target than the current one, which needless to say is completely unhelpful. CycloneYoris talk! 23:32, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. You might not have an updated browser if you can't see these correctly. There is zero reason to delete valid emojis. These emojis were created by Microsoft and had notable coverage. See [1], [2], etc. Gonnym (talk) 01:06, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Gonnym: My browser is certainly updated, and all I can see are two separate emojis: A cat and another random object. Maybe these don't work if you're on iOS? CycloneYoris talk! 01:17, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@CycloneYoris these might only work on Microsoft operating systems since these are their emojis. Gonnym (talk) 12:55, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Ninja Cat series of emojis were removed in 2021 [3]. -- Tavix (talk) 20:15, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:PROD'd by Edvid as the event will not take place at the events; however, as redirects are not eligible for PROD, I figured it made sense to take this to RfD. As the event is not taking places, as stated by Edvid and confirmed by further research, then it makes complete sense to delete what is a not helpful redirect.

I don't think this is a very useful cross namespace redirect. In 99+% of cases requests for edits to a protected page should be made at the talk page, not WP:RFPP/E. This redirect is also ambiguous, it used to target WP:Protection policy, and I think it could also reasonably target WP:Edit requests. Finally there's already an established process for requesting edits to pages, if you click the "edit" or "view source" button a button will be shown that will take you through the process of submitting an edit request. 192.76.8.78 (talk) 18:14, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. Jay (talk) 06:53, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The re-direct Gilman Hot Springs exists and quite rightly points to Gold Base. This redirect points to a wikilink in Riverside County, California which then links to Gold Base. I'd just re-point it but the duplication of 'Gilman Hot Springs' in the search bar is confusing for readers, there's no other Gilman Hot Springs to disambiguate from and the lowercase abbreviation of 'ca' is odd.
