Blackers

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. There is no support for the present target, that is clearly unhelpful, and no consensus on an alternative target. If anyone wants to create a disamb page then that can be done subsequently as a bold editorial action. Just Chilling ( talk) 16:48, 21 June 2015 (UTC) reply
I've never heard of it, but I am southern English. Strangely, it would seem perfectly good Cockney slang, but not Northern slang. Google lists primarly (and secondarily and teriarwhateverily and quaternily) Blacker's Bakeshop, presumably paid for doing so.
Comment. The only thing I can think of as anywhere near a ref is that it is used in Billy Bragg's song (I forget the name of the song) "When the lackeys send the blackers out to cheat us". Fallen in love with a little time bomb I think. But Bragg is a southerner too. Si Trew ( talk) 16:39, 4 June 2015 (UTC) reply
And it's misremembered: it's "When the bosses send their lackeys out".... no mention of blackers. Si Trew ( talk) 08:20, 5 June 2015 (UTC) reply
Comment Is it possible to take it to Blinkers (UK. Eng) or Blinders (Am. Eng). or is that just making more trouble? Si Trew ( talk) 16:39, 4 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Comment I think the problem here is that "Blackers" isn't a demonym, but a nickname. I'm relatively local and this is the first time I've heard it, a Google search also didn't result in many hits.-- Trappedinburnley ( talk) 16:13, 13 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Made the draft for your consideration. Very much a rough first draft. Si Trew ( talk) 09:03, 15 June 2015 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was keep/withdrawn. -- BDD ( talk) 19:01, 14 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Comment. Thanks to 70.51, I've commented on Talk:S.A. (corporation) and I dislike splitting discussions but we have to start somewhere. (It's a move request there, but not to a title I like: corporations under civil law) Leaving that aside, this R goes to S.A., a DAB page, where it is not mentioned: Of course the obvious quick fix is to add it at that DAB, but considering the malarkey we have with S.p.A. et al, I think it is better to list here. We could possibly merge into that discussion, I dunno. Si Trew ( talk) 09:10, 4 June 2015 (UTC) reply

My proposed move would be to S.A.S.A. (corporation). This is, if you'll excuse my French, all arse about face, put the article at S.A., the redirects will follow. I do appreciate there are variations in many other Latinate languages, but all are "S.A." in that way, I realise this is not specific to France or French, but I think searching for "S.A." if you see it on a packet (or SA) and wonder what it means, that would be the obvious place to go. There is no need to disambiguate it with "(corporation)" when S.A. is going spare. ( as indeed am I). Si Trew ( talk) 09:16, 4 June 2015 (UTC) reply
Comment. The article itself is simply a list article of what it is called in various countries/languages. WP:NOTDIC, and not a translation dictionary. In the article, Egypt and Arabic are duplicated, and both have a miscellaneous parenthesis in them – presumably cut and paste. (I guess with Egypt, it is from the time when the spiteful, cowardly French colonized Upper Egypt and the brave, courageous British brought education, sanitation, roads, etc. etc. to Lower Egypt) Don't mention the war!. It's not a designation one commonly sees in alphabets other than latin, or at least was not common when I lived in Cairo; but my Arabic is a bit rusty. Si Trew ( talk) 09:50, 4 June 2015 (UTC) reply
Comment. S.A. is an R to the DAB at SA, and without prejudice I will mark as {{ R to disambiguation page}}. 70.51 comes in good faith as always, and I think on this one, wins the day. But even if not, no harm in marking it such in the meantime. Si Trew ( talk) 13:39, 5 June 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Way too common an abbreviation for both South Africa and South Australia (particularly the latter) to delete and the corporation argument above is not common enough to suggest retargetting in any way. Dragonfire X ( talk) 23:14, 13 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep and Procedural close as nominator, please. The target has gone under several revisions since I listed it, including one from our User:BDD, so I think in light of that, my initial comments no longer make sense. The tags at the redirect can be replaced, I think, just by {{ R from other punctuation}}, if we have consent to keep. Si Trew ( talk) 12:41, 14 June 2015 (UTC) reply

S.p.A.

The result of the discussion was retarget to SPA (disambiguation). Der yck C. 12:32, 27 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Delete per WP:RFD#D2 "may cause confusion", WP:RFD#D5 "makes no sense". The Italian formation of a limited company is not the same as the French one. Si Trew ( talk) 15:47, 3 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Ach, on that DAB ( Spa being primary topic for a hot water treatment) we also have S.P.A. (automobile), which would not be relevant except they were Italian (in Turin), full name Società Piemontese Automobili which redirects there. Yes, I know WP:DIFFCAPS, but unfortunately most search engines, including Wikipedia's, don't. Si Trew ( talk) 16:34, 3 June 2015 (UTC) reply
( edit conflict) That's more of a problem. I think it's ok for S.p.A. and S.P.A. to be different, per WP:DIFFCAPS, but that might be worthy of discussion, if you'd like. As it stands, deliberate lowercasing of the P almost certainly refers to the Italian corporation suffix. -- BDD ( talk) 16:38, 3 June 2015 (UTC) reply
Nicely done, I struck mine and will try again. Si Trew ( talk) 08:58, 4 June 2015 (UTC) reply
But S.A. (corporation) says S.p.A. is an Italian equivalent. Is that wrong? -- BDD ( talk) 13:13, 4 June 2015 (UTC) reply
To my mind, it is wrong, because the laws of incorporation differ. 'F'rexample, we don't say that GmbHGesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung is "equivalent", even though that is incorporated under civil law. (I am leaving common law corporate names such as Ltd and Inc. and plc – all of which are DAB pages – aside). Yes, they are kinda the same structure, but internally they differ a lot: f'rexample how the board of directors is elected (or not). It's the equivalence that I am unhappy about, they are not equivalent. But perhaps I am being too kinda legalistic or mathematical. Si Trew ( talk) 19:21, 4 June 2015 (UTC) reply

n.b. Si, {{ R to disambiguation page}} doesn't belong on every R to a disambiguation page, confusingly. Per the template's documentation, it only applies to redirects with (disambiguation) in the title. -- BDD ( talk) 13:11, 16 June 2015 (UTC) reply
No, 7ó.51, I listed them correctly according to the instructions, that is what it told me to do. I would have been quite happy if we just had it here without my listing it, but the Rfd instructions and so on for WP:Requested move tell me such-and-such. Don't mind if that move request failed, but I went through the proper procedure. It's a pain in the arse to request a move if one is not an admin: I did as I should according to the instructions. My zero keeo key escapes me, I have no idea what keyboard layout it thinks it's on, since I plugged in Flemish one. Not Hungarian, not Flams, not English.

The result of the discussion was delete. -- BDD ( talk) 13:38, 19 June 2015 (UTC) reply
Comment. To come with clean hands, I put this as a link on my talk page referring (kindly) to RfD itself as a "palace of varieties" which is why I like to come here, we get so varied stuff. I wasn't expecting it to go to the Opera House in Belfast, particularly, so that was a WP:SURPRISE. Si Trew ( talk) 11:59, 12 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per above and I would add that there is just one mention of the name and nothing else (and it was only called that for five years, which in the life of the theatre represents a pittance of time really). Dragonfire X ( talk) 23:29, 13 June 2015 (UTC) reply

STFU

The result of the discussion was keep. The discussion below has demonstrated that Southern Tenant Farmers Union is an appropriate primary topic for this abbreviation as far as the scope of Wikipedia is concerned. The existing hatnote has taken care of the need for disambiguation. Der yck C. 19:22, 21 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Retarget dependent on our decision at #SHUT THE FUCK UP below. This abbreviation seems more likely than the Southern Tenants Farmers Union, and a quick search around the Web shows it to be true. Retarget and hatnote. Si Trew ( talk) 11:06, 12 June 2015 (UTC) Si Trew ( talk) 11:06, 12 June 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep I don't doubt that that's a more common usage than the Southern Tenants Farmers Union, but we're an encyclopedia, not a dictionary. I think the status quo, with a hatnote, is fine. -- BDD ( talk) 15:11, 12 June 2015 (UTC) reply
Well, we don't have Southern Tenants Farmers Union, as you wrote. Nor do we have Southern Tenants' Farmers Union nor Southern Tenant's Farmer's Union. We do have Southern Tenant Farmers' Union → same target. (Also there are redirects for Sdfu, but that's probably ranging too far out of the ambit of these two.) I do still think it gives the tenant farmers perhaps a bit of WP:UNDUE recognition. Si Trew ( talk) 11:33, 14 June 2015 (UTC) reply
Indeed WP:NOTDIC, but also I think WP:COMMONNAME has to be considered too. I think if we establish the target below to "Shut up", which seems to be a WP:AVALANCHE of opinion towards that (I could try to hit it with a WP:SNOWBALL), then these will naturally follow. Si Trew ( talk) 11:20, 14 June 2015 (UTC) reply
I must admit I do have a systemic bias against Southern tenant farmers: especiallly the notable two who became President of the Union. Si Trew ( talk) 11:59, 14 June 2015 (UTC) reply
You're right, as always. Somehow I missed that the target had the hatnote already. Si Trew ( talk) 11:24, 14 June 2015 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was retarget to Shut up. I've refined the target of both redirects to Shut up#Variations. Der yck C. 19:12, 21 June 2015 (UTC) reply

no mention or obvious connection Etiquette. The lowercase Shut The Fuck Up is adequate as full caps not used at Shut up. Widefox; talk 05:32, 12 June 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Comment. I removed another from immediately above here which was identical, I am sure the nom just listed twice in error – no attempt on my part at WP:CENSORSHIP, just gnoming (I did make trebly sure it was exactly the same and not just an alternative name – the Wikimedia software injected a different section link to distinguish, to make it #SHUT_THE_FUCK_UP_2, so even it thought they were the same section title and thus the same redirect, from which the section title is derived if you use Twinkle.) I've marked this as {{ R from other capitalisation}}, as usual without prejudice to this discussion but until we have consensus that is what it is: but as you see from immediately below my opinion is... Si Trew ( talk) 09:57, 12 June 2015 (UTC) reply
Hmm, my scientifically conducted opinion poll (population 1: SD: 0: No: 1: Yes: 0: Accuracy: 0) of User:Monkap, the missus, shows that shethe surveyed population has never heard of it, and shethe surveyed population is in the bracket of those who regularly use that kind of new-fangled mobile interweb stuff. But a Google search shows me and herthe surveyed population otherwise. Si Trew ( talk) 10:59, 12 June 2015 (UTC) reply
