Noldorin

The result of the discussion was retarget to Noldor. Thryduulf ( talk) 14:45, 24 February 2021 (UTC) reply

This seems rather misleading to me, since the term in question is actually only indirectly mentioned within the linked section. Also, it will probably mislead in particular users seeking an article on the pertinent language (in analogy to Sindarin or Eldarin, for instance). Hildeoc ( talk) 21:29, 16 February 2021 (UTC) reply

Retarget to Elvish languages (Middle-earth) Noldor, where it is discussed. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 08:28, 17 February 2021 (UTC) reply
BTW: there's no need to bring such redirects here if they're just not well targeted, we can discuss and retarget them directly on their talk pages (with a ping at WikiProject Middle-earth). The primary meaning of Noldorin is the language of the Noldor (elves); it seems to be uncertain whether "Noldorin" is also correctly the adjective for "pertaining to the Noldor", though it's sometimes used that way. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 08:28, 17 February 2021 (UTC) reply
Chiswick Chap - Would you support a retarget to Noldor (which became an article again after your !vote), as that seems to be the most reasonable way to handle the ambiguity between the language and the group? Hog Farm Talk 07:24, 19 February 2021 (UTC) reply
Yes, ok, we can do that; it should be to a 'Noldor#Etymology' section which explains the different forms (Noldo/Noldor/Noldorin) and links to the language article. That needs a bit of rearrangement in the article. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 08:43, 19 February 2021 (UTC) reply

Olivia Sanabia

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 restore article without prejudice to an immediate AfD discussion if anyone wishes to nominate it for that. As Thryduulf stated, redirecting an article with the intention of RfDing the redirect is generally unhelpful - a questionable article should be judged on its merits via the article deletion policy, rather than putting just as much bureaucracy into discussing it in a different form somewhere else. As stated in this discussion, this indeed doesn't seem to be a great redirect given the multiple targets, which makes the decision to make one all the more questionable. ~ mazca talk 23:50, 24 February 2021 (UTC) reply

An article for this actress was recently created, and then subsequently changed to a redirect as her notability is questionable. She does barely meet WP:NACTOR with two major roles, one in Just Add Magic and another in Coop & Cami Ask the World. (General notability per WP:BASIC is shaky at this time.) The redirect is currently on the former TV series, with which she's probably more known. Given that she is barely demonstrating NACTOR, thoughts of draftifying an article about her might be feasible, or should this redirect be kept as is, or deleted? MPFitz1968 ( talk) 21:04, 16 February 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete There is nothing about her at the current redirect target other than she plays a role in that series. With two potential targets now, it is better to not have a redirect at all than point to one with no real information. Geraldo Perez ( talk) 21:13, 16 February 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Restore article with no prejudice to AfD or draftifying. WP:TROUT IJBall for converting an article to a redirect with the explicit intention of sending it to RfD which is never the correct course of action - it should either be a useful redriect or sent to AfD. Thryduulf ( talk) 14:50, 24 February 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Restore and Trout without prejudice per Thryduulf. The article contained a couple of (admittedly not high quality) sources about this actors involvement in notable TV shows that indicated this actor had a WP:Credible claim of significance. A google news search turns up a few bits and pieces of coverage from reliable sources. This should have been prodded or taken to AfD rather than being turned into a poor redirect and immediately sent to RfD. 86.23.109.101 ( talk) 19:08, 24 February 2021 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was delete. Never mentioned at the target, there's agreement that this page probably should have been speedy deleted back in 2007 when it was first redirected. ~ mazca talk 14:37, 24 February 2021 (UTC) reply

Improper article for a non-notable forum was re-directed back in 2007. Topic is not discussed at target, and there is no reason to believe it ever will be. Redirect serves no proper purpose. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia talk 19:31, 16 February 2021 (UTC) reply

1999 Romanian protests and 1999 Romania protests

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 retarget to 1999 in Romania#Events. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 06:35, 25 February 2021 (UTC) reply

No such term as the "1999 Romanian protests" exist. There were a series of protests by miners (which are called "Mineriads" in Romania). This would be a plausible redirect if it wasn't because there also was another Mineriad in February 1999, so this redirect is ambiguous. This could be solved by creating a disambiguation page, but I think it would be excessive and inefficient. Super Ψ Dro 16:26, 9 February 2021 (UTC) reply

Thryduulf, I created a page for the February 1999 Mineriad, which now makes the redirect truly ambiguous. I don't see a good solution to redirect it to "1999 in Romania", the target page is too general and not directly related to the two articles on the 1999 Mineriads (with this I mean that a reader will have to search for the Mineriads in the target's text instead of being directly taken to their pages when typing the redirect). The redirects are just not very useful. Nobody in Romania calls these events as simple protests (and whether they can be considered protests in the first place is questionable, I invite you to read the brief articles). The best solution is to simply get rid of them. Super Ψ Dro 20:54, 11 February 2021 (UTC) reply
After having read the February article and re-read the January article I stand by my recommendation. The options as I see it are to target whichever is primary, or to target a page that lists both. Deletion just makes finding the content harder for everybody (sometimes much harder) so I oppose doing that. There is no obvious primary topic between them so that option isn't good. That means we should link to a page that lists both. That could be a disambiguation page, but when 1999 in Romania#Events (note I'm proposing to retarget to the section, not the top of the page) exists and links to both with context I see that as better - espcially as most of the January and February sections are directly or indirectly about the events, for which "protests" is a very plausible search term for someone who doesn't know/remember much about them.

The result of the discussion was delete. ~ mazca talk 23:41, 24 February 2021 (UTC) reply

Delete as ambiguous. Could be a misspelling of either experimental or wikt:experiential (as it was in one, unlinked, instance I found). Narky Blert ( talk) 11:15, 9 February 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - It's quite surprising to find companies with "experiential" in their motto [1] to make this spelling error since I had expected this to only be a spelling error for experimental. Deleting is probably the best option. A7V2 ( talk) 12:51, 9 February 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep Notwithstanding confusion between "experimental" and "experiential", it seems safe to assume anyone including the M indeed is thinking of experiments. -- BDD ( talk) 16:47, 16 February 2021 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was delete. There are significant arguments for keeping the redirect, though the rough consensus is that the redirect title is too broad and incorrectly capitalized to refer to the target with confidence. Deryck C. 22:35, 25 February 2021 (UTC) reply

At least to me, the idea of an insurrection in the United States is ambiguous with the American Civil War, as well as a handful of lesser known things. Hog Farm Talk 05:24, 9 February 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Keep and a hatnote to List of rebellions in the United States. Every google hit for this term from 2021 refers to the events on 6 January, very nearly all the ones from 2020 are about what Trump could, should or would do if there was an event like that related to the elections that mention the Insurrection Act of 1807. Hits from 2015 and earlier are about either the act or events where the act was or could have been invoked, so it is clear the storming is the present-day primary topic but the list of events serves as a place for people looking for the civil war or "lesser known things" to find what they are looking for. I wouldn't object to retargetting to the list directly, but that's a clear second choice. Thryduulf ( talk) 13:03, 9 February 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment If this is not deleted, the properly capitalised US insurrection should be created as a redirect to the same target. Thryduulf ( talk) 13:03, 9 February 2021 (UTC) reply

These are leftovers from page moves to the grammatically correct titles, and don't seem to be used much anymore, possibly because in part of that reason. It seems unlikely that someone would search "the in" in cases like this. Regards, SONIC 678 05:46, 16 February 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Both per nom. Transposing "in" and "the" is not a plausible typo, as can be seen in the non-existent page views. The first one had an article for 3 mins in 2016, the second had an article for 1 min in 2011, so it is unlikely there will be any incoming traffic. 86.23.109.101 ( talk) 13:44, 18 February 2021 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was retarget to Letter box. signed, Rosguill talk 17:52, 23 February 2021 (UTC) reply

I had previously moved this, but it was reverted and upon examining the incoming links, see that they are overwhelmingly to the current target - most left over from the page move in 2012. I see that the Letterboxing article is more popular than Letter box in terms of page views, but in my opinion, Letter box (often spelt as one word, including within the article) is a much more logical target for letterbox. Letterboxing is also a DAB page. I think this is worth discussion, although I realise that the amount of work involved in shifting all of the incoming links could be a valid argument against it... ??? Laterthanyouthink ( talk) 01:09, 16 February 2021 (UTC) reply

  • retarget to Letter box as a {{ R from other spelling}} and add a hatnote there. Every single hit on the first 4 pages of google results for "letterbox" -wikipedia is related to the opening for letters. Retargetting the incomming links will be a task, yes, but I wonder if it could be aided by creating a temporary dab page at Letterbox (disambiguation), retargetting the redirect there and using dab fixing tools, then retargetting the redirect again when that's complete? Thryduulf ( talk) 02:43, 16 February 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep "Letterbox" is not a typo or misspelling of Letter box, it is a video term. To quote from Glossary of British terms not widely used in the United States, "Letter box" is "1. a slot in a wall or door through which incoming post [DM] is delivered...", "See also Letterbox (US & UK): a film display format taking its name from the shape of a letter-box slot" MB 05:44, 16 February 2021 (UTC) reply
    "Letterbox" is not a typo or misspelling of Letter box indeed, it is a correct spelling for the receptacle for letters. It is also a correct spelling for the video term, but the former usage is very clearly the primary topic. Thryduulf ( talk) 12:45, 16 February 2021 (UTC) reply
