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. Per WP:G7 per User:SMcCandlish's vote/request. Jay 💬 18:17, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Last one of these for now. Like the others, it seems to have outlived its purpose since it is the IPv6 form of an IPv4 address (User:24.23.163.55) that is now a red link. Nickps (talk) 15:55, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, for same reason as the previous IP-address RfDs-- in the time since this redirect was created (in 2015), SMcCandlish could easily have moved to a new home, changed ISP, tinkered with their setup, or done any number of other things, even accidental, that would cause them to have a different IP, even on accident. There's no guarantee that it's still only used by SMcCandlish, so we need to get rid of it-- we don't want Candlish getting accused of socking or getting flak/blame for stuff they didn't do if the IP address's new owner starts posting stuff, do we?

Even more IPs that redirect to user talk pages. None of these redirects seem to be useful anymore. Nickps (talk) 15:54, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all, for the same reason as the previous ones-- in the time since these Wikipedians "claimed" their IPs, they could've easily moved house, changed ISP, or done any number of other things that would cause them to have a different IP, even on accident. There is no guarantee that these IPs are still only used by the Wikipedians whose userpages they redirect to; these redirects need to be gotten rid of.

Delete other than one reviewer calling them "The gods of Britpop" I can't find any connection between the band and gods - e.g. it's not the name of an album or song, it's not the name of a predecessor group or side project. Thryduulf (talk) 22:59, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

HD resolution

The result of the discussion was retarget to High-definition television#Display resolutions. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris ^talk! 08:06, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

HD resolution → 16:9 aspect ratio (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Hd resolution → 16:9 aspect ratio (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

The aspect ratio is not itself "HD", this is misleading and confusing. I'm not sure where this redirect should lead, maybe High-definition television? Leaving that up to people with a better understanding of the area than me. Rusalkii (talk) 21:21, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak retarget to 720p, as I'd say that would be the most precise target for "HD resolution", and HD resolution by itself most commonly refers to 720p / 1280x720, the first resolution considered "HD". I would probably also add a hatnote at the top of the article saying something like "HD resolution redirects here. For the broader topic, see High-definition video." for if readers want to know more about other resolutions that are considered 'HD' / have 'HD' in the name. Otherwise, other ideas I have are High-definition video (a broader topic than High-definition television), or convert to a disambiguation page that includes all three aforementioned topics. Note: I've also added the alternative capitalisation redirect Hd resolution to the nomination. — AP 499D25 (talk) 13:29, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment though HD commonly refers to 1080i/1080p, and not 720, which is EDTV, enhanced definition, or 540p, standard definition -- 65.92.244.237 (talk) 21:49, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  1080p is officially referred to as 'Full HD' though. — AP 499D25 (talk) 03:50, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
DAB, nowadays this is used for 1080p resolution, but historically anything from 720p, 1080i, 1080p were all considered 'HD' resolution. Maybe other formats too, but those are very minor. Alternatively, a redirect to High-definition television would also be fine. Maybe even High-definition television#Display resolutions. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 23:15, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to High-definition television#Display resolutions as per Headbomb. It's the closest we have to an existing list of "HD resolutions", and if the reader wanted instead a discussion of "HD resolution" in general... they need merely to scroll up.

Retarget to High-definition television#Display resolutions per Lunamann. That covers both pixels and dimension, which are equally plausible meanings for resolution (indeed, both columns in the table use the word). Thryduulf (talk) 10:46, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to High-definition television#Display resolutions, no need for a DAB if all the relevant resolutions are already explained there. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 22:54, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per Mwwv; this is more of an R from a misheard lyric than an R from actual lyric. ...Do we have an "R from mondegreen" tag? ...SHOULD we? I'm not sure we should. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 12:43, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
{{R from misquotation}} mentions mondegreens, so that is used for tagging them. Xeroctic (talk) 13:03, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm. Keeping the deletion vote because unmentioned, but if kept, I could see it being tagged with this. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 16:45, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Even if it weren't misquoted, this would simply be too long. Unlike other very long redirects, e.g. 1066 and All That: A Memorable History of England, Comprising All the Parts You Can Remember, Including 103 Good Things, 5 Bad Kings and 2 Genuine Dates, this one isn't the actual title of the work in question.

Can't be speedily deleted due to significant edit history, though I doubt the consensus would be any different here. 104.7.152.180 (talk) 03:49, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:RDAB: this is still an implausible search term even if it doesn’t qualify for WP:X3. InterstellarGamer12321 (talk | contribs) 13:02, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete it was an article for several months in 2009/2010 but doesn't appear to contain any content not in Moon of the Spider. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:17, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep to preserve edit history and attribution, due to its content being merged into the target. This is exactly why it is not eligible for speedy deletion. Fieari (talk) 23:53, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Are there any diffs that attest to this merge? I don't see it in the target's history. All I see is a merge from Moon of the Spider. And that one has no merges at all in its edit history, so how did content from the nominated page end up in the target? Nickps (talk) 02:17, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Swap edit histories with Moon of the Spider(novel), then delete the nominated title (preferred) or move without redirect to Moon of the Spider (2006 novel) (alternative option) to retain the edit history and validate the WP:X3 speedy deletion. Steel1943 (talk) 15:37, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:67.100.217.179 → User:Linas (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

I see no good reason to have an IP redirect to a registered User's page. If the IP starts editing again, this will make it difficult to contact them. Nickps (talk) 00:55, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Like the RFD below this one, this 2008-era redirect was created by user:Linas themselves; although the redirect's edit history is more vague as to why, it's easy to assume that it's because this IP was what Linas posted as before they made their account, similarly to Moritheil below. However, again just like the RFD below this one, there's no guarantee that the IP address still leads to Linas themselves-- they could have easily moved to a new location, swapped ISP, or done any of the numerous other methods of getting a new IP in the intervening 1516 years since this redirect was created. edit 10:41, 2 June 2024 (UTC) 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 01:21, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's actually even more clear than that. Linas now edits under a different IP address. This can be seen on their talk page. Nickps (talk) 01:31, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm Linas and I'm no longer in control of that IP. Haven't been, in over a decade. 67.198.37.16 (talk) 21:40, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. Unless Moritheil owned the IP in 2009 and still owns it today (which is possible but unlikely, particularly as whois reports it's allocated to Northwestern University) then the address could have been reallocated even if Moritheil does nothing to proactively change it.
