Follow-up to Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2016_November_25#OTAI, note that this is a mixture of Cyrillic and Latin characters, thus implausible. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 21:36, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Odd template formulation, implausibly unrelated name. Not related to Template:Canada topic nor Template:Canada topics (yes they're different) and no incoming links or transclusions. Delete. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 21:00, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not clear to me why this page redirects to Moxie Software. As best I can tell, Ingram has no connection to that company. FuriouslySerene (talk) 17:41, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have no recollection of any of this (they're also London based and I was working in the field at the time, but that may be coincidence. However there are plenty of hits between the persons name and the former business name.

War brides

The result of the discussion was keep. The consensus is that WP:DIFFCAPS, though not explicitly cited in the discussion, is a principle that applies here. It is appropriate to redirect the lower-case title to the primary topic and rely on the hatnote for disambiguation. Deryck C. 14:48, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(deletion) There is an existing page War Brides referring to a lost 1916 American film. The user who types 'war brides' should not be automatically redirected. I suggest a disambiguation page listing both War bride and War Brides. Finn Froding (talk) 17:11, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(This doesn't affect my "keep" comment/stance. However, due to finding a page called "War Brides Act", I didn't think that capitalization of the word "Bride" is enough to distinguish the film/TV episode subjects from the subject at War bride, so I moved the articles at War Bride and War Brides to titles with disambiguators, then targeted the leftover redirects to War bride (disambiguation). Pinging AngusWOOF since I just realized that those actions may have went against their comment above.) Steel1943 (talk) 19:43, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That's fair. I thought if any of the films were primary topic for the caps version of Bride or Brides, then those can stay with a hatnote to the dab page that covers all the variants. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:33, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ysolo

The result of the discussion was delete. JohnCD (talk) 22:40, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect pointed to an internal anchor on the list of harvest festivals. The item that carried the anchor,``Ysolo``, was recently deleted as a hoax. There is no reason to have a dangling redirect for a hoax entry. —Mark Dominus (talk) 14:55, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yes, I mean that NASA, JPL, the IAU and USGS fell for the hoax. The hoax was very small, a single sentence inserted into list of harvest festivals in 2012. Aside from thie single sentence, there is no evidence that there ever was an Albanian eggplant festival of any sort. The USGS gazetteer entry cites a blog post (since deleted) which was published after the hoax sentence was inserted into Wikipedia, and which repeats the Wikipedia sentence almost exactly. In any event, even if there really is such a festival, the redirect now points to a nonexistent anchor. —Mark Dominus (talk) 15:56, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting. Well, all the more reason for it to be deleted and salted then. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:22, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

These have all been retargeted to keypad by @65.94.171.217:, I'm not sure what target is better, for I believe that deletion is best as these are too vague. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 05:58, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not an appropriate CNR. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 05:51, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete all per nom. Steel1943 (talk) 18:31, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. If these were long-standing redirects with history, or were clearly targeting pages that were of use to very new users who cannot be expected to have learned about namespaces yet then I would be happy to keep these. On the first point, these are all very new so there is no history-based reason to keep them. On the second point, I think that looking for a general notability standard for Wikipedia as a whole is not unlikley for a very new user, but by the time someone is looking for specific notability guidelines I think it is reasonable that they know to look in the Wikipedia namespace.

William Davidson

[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 Merge Bill Davidson and William Davidson as recommended by Nick Number. And disambiguate, which makes this a bit of a project. I'll work on it. wbm1058 (talk) 13:33, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The current assignment of this redirect seems out of sorts with a William Davidson (disambiguation) that does not include the primary redirect and which can be found at Bill Davidson. The combination of redirects and dab pages need to work together. If this is the main William Davidson, it should be on that dab page and if it is not then the redirect should go elsewhere. TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:40, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Repoint all incoming links for William Davidson to Bill Davidson (businessman).
  2. Move William Davidson (disambiguation) to William Davidson, deleting the existing redirect.
  3. Remove the hatnote from Bill Davidson (businessman).
  4. Merge the entries from Bill Davidson into William Davidson.
  5. Change Bill Davidson and Bill Davidson (disambiguation) to redirect to William Davidson. Nick Number (talk) 19:03, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

European Artistic Gymnastics Championships (disambiguation)

The result of the discussion was Wrong forum. Dcljr, the issue you bring up in this discussion is in regards to the WP:INTDAB guideline, not the state of the redirect itself. Since this discussion is not to retarget or deleted the redirect, it is not in scope of WP:RFD. Any concerns with that guideline should be brought for discussion at Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation (the talk page of the page that WP:INTDAB redirects) or other another related venue. Either way, moving a page over a redirect is a page move and should be requested at Wikipedia:Requested moves, but do keep in mind that the move request (as stated here) goes against the guideline at WP:DABNAME. (non-admin closure) Steel1943 (talk) 04:25, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Switch content of redirect page and target page, per WP:INTDAB ("the community has adopted the procedure of rerouting all intentional disambiguation links in mainspace through 'Foo (disambiguation)' redirects"). Please note that this is not a request for deletion of anything. - dcljr (talk) 03:49, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note that an intentional dablink to the target page is currently at List of gymnastics competitions. The articles for both genders' competitions are equally appropriate as the target, and linking to both genders' articles separately in that List seems suboptimal. Requesting opinions about the status quo vs. switching the titles and linking to the "(disambiguation)" title instead. An admin will need to accomplish the switch, if that is desired. - dcljr (talk) 04:07, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Reinserted the above comment so that the discussion didn't look fragmented since it was here previously. Steel1943 (talk) 04:40, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) It seems that I have completely misread WP:INTDAB. As Emily Litella would say, "Nevermind." - dcljr (talk) 04:28, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what this means or how this name has got anything to do with the target, but extremely weak retarget to 'Otai but since this is all capitals, it will not affect searches whatsoever. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 03:19, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. The rough consensus is that {{R from move}} and WP:RNEUTRAL mean that there is adequate merit in keeping this redirect. Deryck C. 14:43, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Mair has now been convicted of murder, it is no longer "alleged". Also, there is no consensus that his act constituted assassination. The new target page is a better redirect. WWGB (talk) 02:01, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
