talk page or in a

This painting is known by many names: Head of a woman, Head of a young girl, Female head, Young Girl's Head etc. But every single source I have found always mentions it as La Scapigliata. (Among one of the other names I listed) I want to move this article's name to La Scapigliata because it is definitely more well known by the name, but since this redirect exists I can not change it. (Note: The French Wikipedia's featured version of the painting goes by La Scapigliata as well) I hope I'm explaining this clearly, but the point I'm making is that I want to rename the main article (
Head of a Woman (Leonardo)) as the name this redirect (La Scapigliata) and cannot do so unless this redirect is deleted.

Delete per
WP:VGSCOPE and the rationale at
this discussion a few months ago (1st choice). This is apparently a character in the game, but his notability is questionable (sure, he may be popular among players, but probably not enough to warrant his own Wikipedia page). Super weak retarget to
Salmo aphelios (2nd choice), a
search for the term reveals that it also has a connection with this trout species, but then again I'm not entirely sure it would be a plausible search term for that either, since it's questionable whether people would search organisms with just the species name. Regards,

Not mentioned at the target. Searching online, I found two different explanations on fan wikis:
Fandom says that this was the name of a 2007 Wii game (that we don't appear to have an article for), whereas
Mariowiki says that this was a working title for a N64/DD64 Donkey Kong game that was never released but was mentioned in a Japanese magazine. Either way, the existing redirect is not particularly helpful. I would suggest deletion unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguilltalk18:16, 23 May 2020 (UTC)reply
Delete the Fandom entry is a complete fake (is it possible to get that deleted) and even if Nintendo Power mentioned a potential game by that name once it seems to trivial to mention.--

Delete Yeah, you didn't need to cite the Fandtendo page, it's a joke website (as in the site is completely sarcastic and mostly makes entries on games that don't exist). Not to mention, if the name is mean to combine the N64's code name and Donkey Kong, who would have search for that on Wikipedia?

Delete The console has only been know as the Ultra 64 and if it were to have the code name of a previous console, it would have been the
SNES. Not to mention, the name 'Ultra NES' is used for an NES emulator.

Delete. Even spelled properly, having a redirect for an Old English spelling seems to be pushing the limits of plausibility a little. Spelled like this, it's pretty much useless.

Not necessarily. That very article states the material was reassigned to
Aublysodon, and that article states they may have belonged to juvenile Tyrannosaurus.
FunkMonk (

The holotype of Deinodon is D. horridus. Many other species historically assigned to Deinodon have been re-assigned to other taxa, including this one. I'd probably have this redirect to Aublysodon, or remove the redirect and make it its own page.
Dinoguy2 (

19:06, 15 May 2020 (UTC)reply
Keep - I'm not an expert at paleontology, but from what I can tell, Deinodon cristatus is an obsolete taxonym for the Tyrannosaurus rex. There have been other Deinodon cristatus, but this does not seem to be ambiguous, because of the (Marsh) qualifier. Marsh was the one who assigned the Deinodon cristatus taxonym, and I can't find evidence of Marsh using this name for another creature. I'm not an expert in paleontology, so there is a decent possibility I missed something somewhere, though.

You could have just done that, but it's not clear the the dab page isn't a better target. There's a significant chance that someone is referring to one of the other uses. You could look at the stats of the relevant pages. All the best: RichFarmbrough (the apparently calm and reasonable)
15:05, 23 May 2020 (UTC).reply
Retarget I agree that the dab page is not the best target; Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" is by far the WP:COMMONNAME for this (I'd rather not have to have to look up pageviews to demonstrate this...) and an editor searching for this (with all of the variant capitalisations) is unlikely to be searching for something else. In that rare case, there is already a hatnote on top...

Keep: English spelling of the
schwa is notoriously inconsistent, and double letters are irregular too. That just leaves the initial L, which is hard to hear and possibly subject to
elision in some accents. I consider this combination of mistakes perfectly plausible. --NYKevin19:27, 3 June 2020 (UTC)reply

Weak keep, the F and V keys are adjacent to each other on a keyboard, and someone might mistakenly type in "Gandalv" because of their finger slipping off the F key onto the V key. Then again, I'm not sure if this typo's used very often. Regards,
SONIC67814:56, 23 May 2020 (UTC)reply
Weak keep. The appendices in The Return of the King give the pronunciation of the final "f" as a "v", meaning there are Tolkien purists out there pronouncing it "Gandalv". Will that help people find the correct article? Ehhh, maybe?

This IS unicode/ascii correspondence. 0 = 0X30 = 48, etc. Not sure it's useful: in fact I'm sure it's not. It would be better to Retarget to a suitable page dealing with digits qua digits. Perhaps
Digit? All the best: RichFarmbrough (the apparently calm and reasonable)
15:42, 23 May 2020 (UTC).reply
I should have clarified, I am aware of the pattern of 0 = 0x30 = 48, etc., but these redirects don't seem like a logical way of representing them. And as far as programming languages, the char type and similar representations exist in other programming languages such as Java, so I'm not sure about that for a retarget.

Numerical digit this makes sense as the quotation means a digit qua digit. It doesn't cover the original intent of the redirect, but that can be rectified by expanding the article, and the new target is more general, effectively covering most likely meanings.

Delete. This is not not an obsolete species name, it is listed as a
taxonomic synonym for Canis familiaris, as found in the domestic
dog article's taxobox. This implies that it could be split out from under C.l. familairis at any time as its own species should evidence indicate that it should not fall under C.l.f., if only we knew what it was. Linnaeus in his Systema Naturae (1758) described it as "pilo crifto longo, inftar ovis" - long feathery hair, like a sheep. That is all we know about it, and to start attributing it to water dogs or poodles based on that evidence is not supported. (Your reference above in not Linnaeus 1758, it is Gmelin 1792 translated from the German into English by Kerr "with additions".) It should simply be deleted; as an article it has only one original mention and can go nowhere. William Harristalk13:03, 27 May 2020 (UTC)reply

Retarget per the above. "Greek Olympics" without context almost always refers to the Ancient Olympic Games. The modern games are referred to geographically by city; if you wanted to talk about the 1896 or 2004 Olympics, you'd say
Athens Olympics. --
Tavix(
talk)18:58, 18 May 2020 (UTC)reply
I looked at the
mentions of "Greek Olympics" in books nominally between 2006 and 2008, and references to the Ancient Olympics are usually "Ancient Greek Olympics". "Greek Olympics" on its own is more likely to refer to the 2004 Olympics (or a small scale competition in a college, but these books are mis-dated). It's a small sample size, but makes your assertion less convincing. All the best: RichFarmbrough (the apparently calm and reasonable)
12:55, 24 May 2020 (UTC).reply
Retarget to
Greek Olympics. If and when
Greek Olympics becomes a redirect, bypass the double redirect as usual. If people want to change
Greek Olympics to not be a dab page, they can do that in a separate discussion, since RfD is not the correct forum for doing that. This redirect should follow the outcome of that discussion, whatever it is. --NYKevin21:04, 29 May 2020 (UTC)reply

Human history#Rise of civilization per nom. I fail to see that this is not the only topic of the Google search results. Ancient History includes the rise of civilization, but also discusses topics from several millenia later. Also, as
Human history shows, civilization before writing is not considered ancient history but rather prehistory.—
