Due to legitimate and serious
WP:BLP1E concerns, I have moved this page to
Wayne Chiang (Virginia Tech graduate) and created the requested redirect. This, in my opinion, is a classic case of
WP:NOTNEWS where we should have exercised more caution before following the media herd. I'll leave this open for someone else to close, and either endorse or revert my administrative actions. –

Okay. I created the redirect though I wasn't completely sure it was appropriate. Personally I haven't encountered explanations that have persuaded me that on balance the redirect is "unhelpful" and does more harm than good, but I don't care a great deal about the issue and will not oppose deletion. It seems to me that it would be ideal to be able to simultaneously alert a reader that a foreign-language article exists, but also keep them aware that an English article is lacking. But I see no way to do that now and have nothing further to suggest. So please go ahead and proceed as you think best. --

That is very cool! I experimented ("preview") with the template and also just checked to see if that could be done in my concern about the present article (Éditions Fides); I discovered that it had already been done by someone -- but now I understand how this works and will use it in the future. Thank you! --

Delete per nom and CoffeeWithMarkets. Honestly, I don't know why someone would refer to Park by that name, and a Google search doesn't seem to reveal anything about him except this redirect. The closest thing to this title I could find was
this page, but I don't know if it's really notable or has anything to do with him. Regards,

This is confusing. {{Bsn}} is a redirect for {{BSicon-name}}, which is used in the {{BS-map}} template for illustrating railway maps. But {{BSN}} is a redirect for {{Better source needed}}.This has caused some editors to use the wrong template. Neither of these redirects is highly used, but surely one of them should be deleted.

There is a chart collapsed here. For some reason, this chart is disrupting all of the text below it by forcing every line below it to have an extra level of indent (see
here). If anyone can figure out how to edit the chart code to remove that extra level of indenting to all lines below it, feel free to remove this {{Collapse top}} template and the {{Collapse bottom}} template at the end of this chart.

Unless Shinji Hosoe owns the label (in which case the article should say so) I don't think it's reasonable to redirect this to an artist, particularly with potential ambiguity with
Troubadour Music Inc., so I suggest delete.

Yeah, Shinji Hosoe owns that label. I would not be against the redirect being deleted, since the record label isn't notable enough (I was the one who wiped the page and redirected it to Hosoe, due to the record label being his).

Not mentioned in target article, and a mention in the target article would likely be
WP:UNDUE. This is going to be a fairly large bundled nom, and I'll check all of these to make sure no merges occurred in the history before nominating. None of these are leftovers from merges, one I planned on nominating was, so
Feasts in Númenor gains a respite unless we want to histmerge or something.

Delete per nom, the Númenor is quite rich enough in detail already, so there's no scope (nor need) to add minutiae that could justify these redirects.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Given this nomination has a lot of redirects, it could use a bit more discussion. Moreover, not all of these were tagged (they are now).

Was created 2 months ago, was originally deleted in 2017 per
WP:R3. I want to tag it again but I know nothing about Night of the Living Dead and I don't know if this originally redirected to this article either.

Comment - If this quote isn't mentioned in the targeted page, then it should be. This is more or less as closely associated with the film as "Here's looking at you, kid" is with Casablanca, honestly.

The result of the discussion was delete. IMO, J947 is correct that redirects like this are rarely worth the time and effort to send to RfD, but now that we're here there is nonetheless a consensus to delete. signed, Rosguilltalk22:29, 4 May 2020 (UTC)reply
Comment - So now we have two options: either fix Facebook's parenthesis bug (for those who think that it is a bug), or have a bot (with consensus for approval) mass create redirects of the form "Foo (bar" for every existing article or redirect of the form "Foo (bar)", redirecting to either "Foo (bar)" (if it is an article), or the same target that "Foo (bar)" redirects to (if it is a redirect), avoiding double redirects. Also, if "Foo (bar)" is a redirect, then the bot would tag "Foo (bar" with "{{
R avoided double redirect|Foo (bar)}}". Which option do you prefer, fixing Facebook or having a bot mass create redirects of the form "Foo (bar"? If the former, then the redirect should be deleted. If the latter, then the redirect should be kept.

Delete per nom. No evidence of any bug has been given, and even if there were, creating hundreds of thousands of these redirects would be a terrible reaction to it. –

Comment. RDAB is part of an essay and all it says about these disambiguating qualifiers is that they are unneeded. What's more, in that same essay there is a note that You can reduce this burden by […] not sending redirects to RFD, unless there is a serious problem that can't be solved any other way (e.g.,
WP:BLP violations). This includes not listing redirects for deletion that you think are "unnecessary". — J947[cont]19:57, 29 April 2020 (UTC)reply

I am unable to determine why "Palinurus" redirects here. I suggest delete because although it could be a "typographic error" for
Palinurus, its meaning is ambiguous outside Enwiki.

I don't believe we have a need for one specific race track from the game. This redirect could also be considered ambiguous as the race track re-appeared in Mario Kart Wii; in fact, the redirect pointed to the Wii game for 7 years before someone changed it to point to the DS game. It's also capitalised incorrectly as both words should begin with a capital letter. –

This is not a proper noun, but a generic term. Media never use this kind of capitalization. Would we say "Protesters threw Petrol Bombs at the government headquarters"? It sounds like the term has been trademarked by someone, of which it is not. ««« SOMEGADGETGEEK »»» (talk)

The new and TBA stuff here has already been released or confirmed...or at least any earlier targets of these nine. Nothing seems to link to them, they didn't seem to have many pageviews in 2019, and some are even ambiguous. We should maybe delete them or retarget them wherever appropriate, unless a justification can be provided. Regards,

Delete all - As far as I can tell, not only have none of these locations ever actually existed, but all of this was apparently just made up on Wikipedia without any connection to reality. The situation seems honestly baffling.

There does not seem to be a good reason why the template should be redirected to an article. Also, the template was previously transcluded onto the target article, but has since been removed from there, and replaced with a redirect to there.

Not mentioned at the target. Based on our internal search results, it seems like this is a studio that is either very closely related to Konami or a subsidiary, but if it's not mentioned at the target the redirect won't be terribly useful to readers. I would suggest deletion and letting internal results handle it. signed, Rosguilltalk19:01, 17 April 2020 (UTC)reply
Instead of redirecting this if applying redirects is not useful to anyone, why can't we just create an article on the subsidiary? Is that a problem? Wikipedia needs to grow some more with more articles. I would suggest to create a page for everything.

Well, does it meet the

Sergecross73msg me21:50, 19 April 2020 (UTC)reply
Keep but fix fix fix: The only page "
Pawapuro Productions" (sic) is linked from is
Professional Baseball Spirits, but "Pawapuro Production" is
used on more pages. Also known as "Diamond Head", and is an internal team at Konami
[3] (from archive
[4]). Where there is (or at least should be) a link from multiple pages, and that link would be likely to be a permanent redlink unless redirected, there's a benefit in redirection. So, how about: create Pawapuro Production as a redirect to
Konami#Video games; modify the text to mention Powapuro Production in association with the Baseball series using the GDM magazine as a ref; fix
Professional Baseball Spirits (and the other pages) to use "
Pawapuro Production"; retarget this slightly to point to the Video Games section and rcat this one as {{r from incorrect}} and {{r to section}}. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~

Delete. Not mentioned in the target (or anywhere else worthwhile in WP), so a useless redirect. As matters stand, the searchbox will help readers better. No prejudice against either keeping or recreating as a redirect if a sourced mention is added to a suitable target, or even against turning into an article if an editor thinks this topic passes
WP:GNG. As it says at the of this page, "If you want to replace an unprotected redirect with an article, you do not need to list it here. Turning redirects into articles is wholly encouraged. Be bold!".
