Delete mojibake. Gorobay ( talk) 21:29, 17 January 2015 (UTC) reply

  • NOTE the accent-removed and "(c)" forms were created by Eubot ( talk · contribs) as redirects for typos of the mojibake forms, so are even worse, as they aren't even mojibake, but typos of mojibake. -- 65.94.40.137 ( talk) 04:41, 18 January 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. I was going to be silent on these mojibakes and let them go delete by default (and I hope this comment is not taken to queer that pitch), but the Pokémon ones piqued my interest: since "Pokémon" is a transliteration for Japanese ("ポケモン") – presumably one deliberately chosen since "É" is rare in English orthography – are there any even more bizarre mojibakes that mojibake the katakana itself?

Delete per WP:REDLINK. Back in 2006, this was an article, and its AfD closed as redirect. The article was actually deleted and the title recreated as a redirect, though. It's not mentioned at the target article, so it's definitely misleading as is. Restoring the old article is also an option. I've undeleted its revision history, so anyone can take a look at it now. Pinging the AfD's closing admin, Dominic; I'm sure he remembers the eight-year-old case like it was yesterday. BDD ( talk) 16:05, 17 January 2015 (UTC) reply

This is a concept related to the target that is neither is synonymous with the target article, nor mentioned at the target article. Also, it seems that this redirect was previously an article, but the article seems like a violation of WP:NOTWIKIA. Steel1943 ( talk) 04:25, 17 January 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Just from Googling the term, there are other uses, but it seems the Mortal Kombat usage is specific to the characters Cyrax and Sektor. It's mentioned (but only just) in both of those articles, though I don't know how we'd choose between them. If Energy sword is converted to an article, perhaps it could be discussed there. (Is that how you found this?) -- BDD ( talk) 17:16, 18 January 2015 (UTC) reply
  • @ BDD: Nope. I just, from time to time, look at random articles with popular video game subjects to see what redirects point towards them that seem to either be misleading or not explained well enough at the redirects' target to justify the redirects' existence. The fact that I, in a short amount of time, nominated two similar redirects that point to two different video game subjects is pure coincidence. Steel1943 ( talk) 17:29, 18 January 2015 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was retarget to List of U.S. presidential campaign slogans#Critical slogans. It looks like we're unanimous here. -- BDD ( talk) 18:38, 3 February 2015 (UTC) reply

I was surprised that this term isn't mentioned on the target page. I somewhat expected a Criticism of Barack Obama page, but it redirects there as well. The only mention of the term on Wikipedia is at List of U.S. presidential campaign slogans. Too trivial to retarget there? I'm not sure. At this point, I'd be fine with that or deletion. BDD ( talk) 00:46, 17 January 2015 (UTC) reply

Comment. Actually, " NOBAMA" is listed at that target, not "Nobama". I was not trying to be picky but having inadvertently left case-sensitive search on, I couldn't find it at first, since it's not R to section ("Critical slogans"). If retargeted, make it R to section. (Not sure that's a great section title when the rest are chronological, but that's a matter for the A not the R.) Si Trew ( talk) 03:07, 19 January 2015 (UTC) reply
To spare anyone else a confused comment, "NOBAMA" is mentioned on the list of slogans, not Criticism of Barack Obama. -- BDD ( talk) 14:17, 20 January 2015 (UTC) reply
