The result of the discussion was retarget to Genji: Days of the Blade#Meme. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 23:15, 9 September 2020 (UTC) reply

Not mentioned in the target article, leaving the connection between the redirects and the target unclear. Also, Giant Enemy Crab is a {{ R with history}} that was apparently WP:BLANKANDREDIRECTed in 2012. Steel1943 ( talk) 21:17, 2 September 2020 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was retarget to Irin. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 23:18, 9 September 2020 (UTC) reply

IRIN is ambiguous with 4 entries at disambiguation page Irin, 2 of which are capitalised. It is possible but difficult to prove that The New Humanitarian is the primary topic for "IRIN" but retargeting to the disambiguation page may be better. Shhhnotsoloud ( talk) 18:05, 2 September 2020 (UTC) reply

I support a disambiguation page, on the grounds that IRIN is a longstanding abbreviation for the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy since 1979, and was used extensively to refer to the The New Humanitarian from 1995 to 2019. Pahlevun ( talk) 18:12, 2 September 2020 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was no consensus. If there were any future untitled projects that could fit these descriptions, I suspect we'd quickly get consensus (if these titles weren't just BOLDly usurped). -- BDD ( talk) 22:08, 10 September 2020 (UTC) reply

Delete just like in the mainspace, once films/albums/other created works get a title, any redirect with "Untitled" is misleading and should be deleted. UnitedStatesian ( talk) 20:11, 25 August 2020 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was disambiguate. Thanks to Uanfala for drafting it! -- BDD ( talk) 22:05, 10 September 2020 (UTC) reply

Tied may be a possible typo for tide, but is probably more likely an intentional search term for the past tense of tie. The current redirect is WP:ASTONISHing, and should be avoided. Suggest either re-targeting to Tie, or deleting. Paul_012 ( talk) 19:57, 25 August 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Keep or retarget to Tie (draw). "Tied" is not a reasonable search term for any of the uses listed on the extensive disambiguation page except, possibly, Tie (draw) so if it is retargetted anywhere it should be there. However I disagree that the current target is more or less astonishing than any other typo or homonym, especially as we regularly redirect those but don't regularly redirect other verb forms. Thryduulf ( talk) 20:33, 25 August 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Keeping is definitely out: misspellings can't take precedence over correct forms. The other target noted by Thryduulf is definitely plausible, but there are other targets as well, and I can't see a primary topic even if I squint. Disambiguating looks viable, but it will be tricky to do with the NOTDIC and PTM issues. Articles like Tied house, Tied cottage, Tied aid should probably be included: they look like partial title matches, but in each of those three cases you can discern a specific meaning of "tied" that's not exclusive to these particular phrases: you can also talk for example of a pub, a contract, or a loan being tied. – Uanfala (talk) 13:21, 29 August 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Disambiguate. This redirect is too ambiguous. There are a lot of titles containing "Tied". Seventyfiveyears ( talk) 15:11, 29 August 2020 (UTC) reply
  • @ Seventyfiveyears: Simply having a lot of titles containing the word is not enough for disambiguation, there would have to multiple titles that are actually fully known as "Tied". See WP:PTM for more details. Which articles did you want to include in your proposed disambiguation? -- Tavix ( talk) 15:19, 29 August 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. This is ambiguous and any redirect to any target may cause confusion (especially the current target). Let Search do its job uninhibited. Shhhnotsoloud ( talk) 16:32, 3 September 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Retarget to DAB page Tie as {{ R from ambiguous term}}. Knots are tied. Narky Blert ( talk) 09:58, 4 September 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Retarget to Tie dab page, add it to the Wiktionary link on that page, and add a couple of "See also" links to "look from" and "in title" for "Tied". Too many uses - tied cottage (home linked to job), tied house (pub committed to brewery), knots, etc as well as sports. If anyone feels strongly about the typo for "tide", add that as another "see also". Pam D 10:53, 4 September 2020 (UTC) reply
  • I've drafted a dab page below the redirect: if the term is to be disambiguated at all, then it definitely should be at its own title. Redirecting to Tie is out of the question because the overlap between the two terms is infinitesimal: only three, maximum four, of the 36 entries at Tie are relevant for "tied", and many of the meanings of "tied" are not relevant for "tie". I don't have very strong objections to deletion, but a separate page is probably the most helpful solution; retargeting anywhere else (except maybe Wiktionary) will be as good as useless for our readers. – Uanfala (talk) 23:30, 4 September 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Disambiguate as set out by Uanfala: thanks for your work. Perhaps add a gloss "... is the past tense of the verb to tie"? We may need to WP:IAR slightly for this set of PTMs, but it looks the solution which will be the most helpful to the most readers. I've removed a duplicate entry and added the "in title" and "look from" searches. Pam D 18:21, 5 September 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Disambiguate per multiple editors above, seems to be the best solution for this. A draft has already been created below the redirect anyway. CycloneYoris talk! 23:23, 9 September 2020 (UTC) reply

Bangkok International Airport

The result of the discussion was disambiguate. signed, Rosguill talk 17:52, 9 September 2020 (UTC) reply

This was a disambiguation page until 2015 when User:ZJOEY redirected the page to Suvarnabhumi Airport. While Suvarnabhumi inherited the IATA code BKK from Don Mueang International Airport in 2006, it has never been officially referred to as "Bangkok International Airport", which was Don Mueang Airport's official name up until then. (Before being officially named, Suvarnabhumi was referred to as "New Bangkok International Airport".) Both are currently international airports serving Bangkok. I suggest the disambiguation page be restored. Paul_012 ( talk) 18:56, 25 August 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Restore DAB. WP:PRIMARYREDIRECTs tend to collect bad links, and JHJ's research has shown that this one indeed does. Narky Blert ( talk) 09:45, 4 September 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Disambiguate per nom. While neither of Bangkok's two operating international airports is officially named "Bangkok [International] Airport", readers will be looking for something at that title, and it's possible (though not very likely) that old articles, histories, and mirrors host ambiguous links originally intended for the old official title for Don Mueang. Disambiguation is the best way to handle these, and hopefully prevent creation of new ambiguous links. Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 13:29, 8 September 2020 (UTC) reply

While there is content about Giant enemy crab on enwiki, I'm not convinced "giant enemy crap" is a plausible search term for that meme. Hog Farm Bacon 15:09, 2 September 2020 (UTC) reply

  • @ Hog Farm: "...there is content about Giant enemy crab on enwiki..." There is? If so, I couldn't find it, so I nominated it and Giant Enemy Crab for RfD. Steel1943 ( talk) 21:20, 2 September 2020 (UTC) reply

Looks like an obscure or novel synonym of the target, which is one of the WP:RFD#DELETE reasons for deletion. A Google search, at least on my device, is mostly bringing up various BBQ and hot sauces claiming to be "for real men", as well as a bizarre internet challenge involving soy sauce and testicles.

The result of the discussion was retarget to Wikipedia:Offensive material. signed, Rosguill talk 17:50, 9 September 2020 (UTC) reply

Doesn't seem like a completely logical redirect. It's old (2008), but only has one link, and it's an old user talk archive that's basically an announcement this redirect has been created. WP:CUSS links to Wikipedia:Offensive material, WP:SWEARWORDS links to Wikipedia:Civility, and WP:SWEARING links to Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_censored. I guess this redirect could point to any of those, but the no legal threats target seems to have, by far, the weakest connection to "bad words", which usually means profanity.

The target article has a very large number of incoming redirects for sundry in-game entities, but these ones here are probably among the most obscure. There's no content about them anywhere on Wikipedia, and I can't imagine there ever being added any. And because of the presence of either generic or short words in some of these names, the redirect are likely to interfere with searches for other topics. There's nothing useful in the histories of those redirects: Battle of Ionith was created in 2006 as a short article about the event, but was then promptly redirected; similar was the beginning of Sigil Stone in 2007. The rest have remained redirects since their creation: Gaiden Shinji in 2007, Thras in 2013, Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, Snow Elves and Reman Cyrodiil in 2014. – Uanfala (talk) 00:29, 2 September 2020 (UTC) reply
