Gorr the Golden Gorilla (character)
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.
This is a redirect that was (temporarily) made to move the initial article
Gorr (comics) (now a redirect) to
Gorr the Golden Gorilla as part of a split of the former, which also housed info for another character since moved to
Gorr the God Butcher. This is an unnecessary disambiguation as there are no other articles of this name, and it is clearly for a character. I attempted to request deletion, but that process didn't fit this situation, and thus I have taken it here.

Keep I've tagged it with {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}, because you're right that the disambiguation is currently unnecessary, but the fact that we have such a tag proves that this alone is not a good reason to delete. Are readers likely to use this term very often? Probably not. But if they do, will it take them where they want to go? Without question. It's also some insurance if the character no longer becomes the primary topic. --

Suggest a retarget to
Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Motions. The are only 12 current links to the present target - Wikiproject Armenia, which looks to be a basically inactive Wikiproject. Redirecting to the arbitration page would bring that page into alignment with the other Arbitration/Request pages (
WP:ARC for Case requests and
WP:ARCA for Case requests/Amendments). Best,

Retarget to
Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Motions per nom. There doesn't seem to be a single actual link to this shortcut redirect. I checked almost all of them and they were all shortcut listings, links to this discussion and a single use in a userpage about the overuse of shortcuts. WikiProject Armenia already has the much shorter
WP:AM and the proposed target seems like it would be useful.

The result of the discussion was delete. As unneeded, not useful, and potentially confusing. An exercise in discussing R#K5 did not conclude as it required the involvement of the (currently inactive) redirect creator. Jay(talk)07:20, 25 April 2022 (UTC)reply

Pageviews
[1] doesn't support it to my mind. Subtract the views in the past week, when I myself was perhaps responsible for most or all of them, or others investigating the validity of the redirect as it was brought to attention along with "
Hittite Empir" a few days ago. There remains but one view; perhaps the editor who created it.
There's a distinction between a misspelling and a typo. A searcher looking for "Ukranian" would be stymied were it not for the helpful redirect from the misspelling of "Ukrainian", because they otherwise might not realize that they've entered an "incorrect" search target. With a typo, the searcher will certainly realize that they've entered "empir" instead of "empire", and will not be thwarted, even if they haven't been coddled by a redirect of extremely little value.
I appreciate the sentiment (
WP:R#K5) that "if someone says they find a redirect useful, they probably do." In submitting the redirect for discussion, I did notify @
RedPanda25:, the creator. The edit summary was "it's a misspelling that happened to me so it's plausible". They could reconsider whether they meant a misspelling or just a typo, and weigh in. Or we could consider their silence as tacit agreement with a retroactive look supporting its deletion as ultimately not likely to be useful in the long run. signed, Willondon (

Or we could consider their silence as tacit agreement Only if there is actual silence. The user said they found it useful, that is what we know. Newton's second law says that, for any speculation, there is an equal and opposite counter-speculation. What if they simply don't want to get dragged into a discussion about what they find useful or not? Either way, speculation is not evidence. As long as we don't get an update from the horse's panda's mouth, we can only go by what evidence we have.
coddled Beg pardon? Are we Nurse Ratched? You might not find it useful [...] because you browse Wikipedia in different ways. The point of K5 is that it is upon you to demonstrate harm outweighing the usefulness, where "useful" is not defined by you, but by someone else.
Well actual silence depends on a period of reticence, so it's open ended. I note that the creator is relatively active (about three or four edits a month, though I think it's rude to impose any schedule on an editor, or any requirement to spend time engaging) and has been notified.
I see now what you've supplied
as far back as there are data. I still appeal with an analysis that (1) early views may be from the creator or others investigating a novel addition to WP, (2) recent views are instigated, of course, by this Schroedingeurian observation, and that (3) statistical noise aside (some views may be the result of administration, curation, curiosity, or error), (4) even the genuine typoists remaining would not have necessarily been thwarted absent the redirct, likely instead having gone on to realize their fumble and revised their search. I assert again my distinction between a misspelling and a typo, regarding their relative chances of recovery from error.
My challenge then might be the weighing of the extremely miniscule value of the redirect against the extremely small cost of a few bytes among pterabytes. I would appeal by adding the general psychological cost of having such a useless thing in Wikipedia. Don't coddle me, Nurse Ratched. This is serious. signed, Willondon (

01:56, 12 April 2022 (UTC)reply
views may be [...] views may be [...] likely → more speculation.
Don't coddle me (my emphasis) You keep missing the point of K5: it's not about you.
The function of redirects is to make things easier. The very fact that you consider this one "coddling" is admitting that it does that. Part of our job is to make things as easy and convenient as possible for our readers.
(note: I made some amendments to my posts above while a response was composed and published above)
My note that this was serious was facetious. I think it boils down to whether "Roman empir" is a misspelling (searcher might not know why there are no matches), or just a typo (searcher will likely realize what needs to be amended without a redirect). With "Hittite empir", my suggestion of speedy delete as a typo was rejected as its creation was not actually a recent thing. So with my similar challenge here to "Roman empir", I again solicit the creator, and am required further to articulate and debate my reasoning for its deletion. On the fun side, I'm enjoying the exercise of having to express my deliberations in clear terms. On the serious side, I just think it should be deleted, because it's not a helpful instance of redirection. Cheers. signed, Willondon (

Delete, since anyone typing this should see the correct spelling suggested, and will almost certainly realize that it is missing the 'e' if they haven't already clicked on the right article, so I doubt having this redirect will actually assist anyone. I won't be too worried if this opinion doesn't prevail, though—it's definitely not a big deal if it continues to exist.

Delete - My first expectation seeing this on an article alert page was a person named "
Roman" with the surname of "Empir". Given that we don't seem to mention anyone with that name on Wikipedia, the redirect is not actively confusing, but it's also obviously less than useful. DaßWölf19:11, 22 April 2022 (UTC)reply

Delete. Looking at the history it appears it was created as part of a quickly reverted attempt to merge the two articles. Given that they weren't merged and that there is no broader article about Chinese weapons, I think best to delete.

Comment - This was an article for around 20 minutes in 2009. It was created by the same user a day after they created
History of the steel sword which is nominated below (which itself was an article for about an hour). This one seemed a bit more fleshed out. I suppose the reason for redirecting was to encourage the user to edit the
Sword article instead of creating one from scratch. I don't think either would survive AfD, but I do think this should have been mentioned by the nom.

For what it's worth ... something that was an article for 20 minutes over 10 years ago, to me, is like a
WP:PROD that was never disputed due to silence. Also, as you said, I don't see that content surviving an AFD either.

Potentially misleading redirect. For one,
Steel sword doesn't not exist, and the phrase is mentioned only once in the target article. In addition, if a redirect with "History of..." on its title were to redirect to the current target, it would probably need to have the word "steel" omitted since it makes the redirect overly
WP:PRECISE to where it could potentially be inaccurate.

If we had an article focused on the history of steel weaponry, I could see retargeting this subtopic, but I can't find one. Closest things are scattered discussion of weaponry at

Potentially a working title, but there are no references to this on the target article or other related articles pertaining to Azerbaijan's participation in that year's Eurovision Song Contest. Suggest deletion unless there is a more relevant target to repoint.

This was the original title of the article before it got moved to Mata Hari, because of

Disambiguate or delete. The "original title" of the song appears to be an assumption with no sources supporting it as an official initial/original name. If the disambiguation page is the option, I don't think Mata Hari should be included on it, though I have not assessed the other related articles cited by Paradoctor.

… on the correct grounds that they do not apply. That said, on purely policy grounds this redirect is not mentioned in the target article, either now or when the redirect was made back in 2012, has no plausible reason to redirect there, and no significant edit history. However, it does have a quite obvious alternative target of
Race and appearance of Jesus.

"TDEE" is not mentioned in the redirect target except as the title of an external link. The external link goes to a calculator for "Total Daily Energy Expenditure", which is not the same thing as the basal metabolic rate. I'm not really sure where to retarget this or if it should be deleted. —

"White Russian" is a term that historically was used to refer to the modern Belarus, but it also can refer to

Disambiguate I don't see any reason this couldn't refer to white people from Russia. I added a simple see-also entry to the draft, which I support. I do think we should accommodate this as a search term, but something like "

This redirect title is a typo. It is not the title of the film. This title should be deleted. The film is named 9 to 10.30 as shown by
