Can’t see how this is useful, it’s simply confusing. All I see is a black flag, which redirects to a flag that is not black. I don’t know if it’s a Unicode thing but I’m on the latest and new version of Mac OS which tends to be up to date with Unicode releases. There are a bunch more of them, which I can see if I copy and paste '🏴󠁩󠁮󠁫󠁡󠁿' into the search box, but not sure how to find all of them. JohnBlackburne words deeds 23:58, 4 October 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep per Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 July 18#🏴󠁥󠁳󠁩󠁢󠁿. Gorobay ( talk) 02:06, 5 October 2017 (UTC) reply
    • On its own not a rationale to keep, but I see that discussion. And all I see there too is a black flag, the same as the editor that reported too. I had a look using an iPad updated to the latest iOS and see the same. So what platform exactly are you using where this looks like the flag of Kannada?-- JohnBlackburne words deeds 06:04, 5 October 2017 (UTC) reply
      • I don’t have a font that supports it either. The point of creating these redirects is so that when they are broadly supported (it has only been a few months, after all) they will already exist. There is no reason to delete them in the meantime, since they are unambiguous. It is only confusing to you because you were patrolling Special:NewPages or something like that; most people who find this redirect will be people that are able to type it and that can see it, and who will therefore not find it confusing.
(A note about discussions: “per link” means “per the rationale expressed at link that supports my position”. So yes, it is a rationale. I could have copied and pasted but I prefer linking.) Gorobay ( talk) 13:16, 5 October 2017 (UTC) reply
So everyone who sees it will see a black flag, and be confused by it, two at least confused enough to raise it at RfD in the last few months. I would say the prior discussion supports my argument. I don’t see any indication when or even if that proposal will make it into a release. Even when it does it might be many months before its broadly supported, as it’s the sort of thing that OS vendors tend to roll into major releases, so this could be badly broken for years. You are right, i would not have come across it normally as it not something anyone will use, not a plausible search term. I saw it in the Category:Pages with script errors which all sorts of redirects are appearing at at the moment. Oddly it was categorised in namespace zero, i.e. as an article, so I had to look at it.-- JohnBlackburne words deeds 13:34, 5 October 2017 (UTC) reply
A correction: not most but all people see a black flag, or nothing. This is not part of the Unicode standard, there is no support for it on any platform, it is a proposal which might or might not make it into Unicode, and even if it does it might not be done this way.-- JohnBlackburne words deeds 11:24, 6 October 2017 (UTC) reply
This is false. It is part of the Unicode standard, specifically, Unicode Technical Standard #51 version 5.0, released in May. There is no chance it will be done another way, because this mechanism is already published and platforms like Twitter are already using it (though not for this obscure flag). Gorobay ( talk) 13:14, 6 October 2017 (UTC) reply
I based that on that document, which itself says it may be done another way: "...the data and recommendations supplied by this document may change in accordance. Thus the recommendations and data will change across versions of this document."-- JohnBlackburne words deeds 13:27, 6 October 2017 (UTC) reply
That just means that new versions of Unicode might add new emoji characters and mechanisms, so the standard is not immutable. (For example, there is a currently a proposal for hair color modifiers; if it is accepted, the next version of UTS #51 will update its recommendations accordingly.) It is unlikely that they will remove or deprecate anything, and exceedingly unlikely that they will add another way to represent subregional flags. Gorobay ( talk) 13:41, 6 October 2017 (UTC) reply

Deplorable

The result of the discussion was retarget Deplorable to Basket of deplorables, Keep Deplorables pointing to the same target. Thryduulf ( talk) 10:50, 19 October 2017 (UTC) reply


Should redirect to Basket of deplorables with a hatnote linking to the "deplorable" wiktionary page (see here). There is no Wikipedia article for any topic called "deplorable"; and readers searching it are most likely desiring the Clinton phrase, particularly as use of the word to refer to Donald Trump supporters has spiked in the last year. Chase ( talk | contributions) 01:36, 17 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Should it be a dabify then, with those two items? Deplorable word seems like a notable term from Narnia. AngusWOOF ( barksniff) 21:21, 19 September 2017 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was delete. There's no agreement of where this could target and some appetite for deletion, so this will be deleted. -- Tavix ( talk) 02:08, 16 October 2017 (UTC) reply

The connection to Atheism is tenuous at best; please see Gbooks search result. At the very least, it's far more complex than the redirect suggests. Hence the proposal to delete it., or perhaps retarget to Religion. K.e.coffman ( talk) 21:05, 23 September 2017 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was retarget to Screaming. (non-admin closure) f e minist 10:32, 12 October 2017 (UTC) reply

This is an emoticon of a fearful face screaming with hands on its cheeks. It is not specifically a depiction of The Scream, and none of the major emoji vendors make it look like the painting, so it should not redirect there. Screaming discusses this emotional reaction but may be too broad in scope. The redirect should either be retargeted there or deleted. Gorobay ( talk) 17:20, 4 October 2017 (UTC) reply

Yeah, they're quite similar, although the Munch one his hands cover his ears? I'm neutral about this as it's another one of those ones better explained at Emojipedia than here. AngusWOOF ( barksniff) 18:34, 5 October 2017 (UTC) reply
FWIW, the lede of Screaming lists the common emotions associated with screaming, fear being one of them. -- Tavix ( talk) 22:54, 11 October 2017 (UTC) reply
