The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) Duckmather ( talk) 01:41, 25 September 2023 (UTC) reply

The redirect is from the IPA on the page. I'm guessing the creator misunderstood it for something in the native language. greyzxq talk 21:25, 17 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Where else do you suggest it be redirected?
Enquire ( talk) 21:37, 17 September 2023 (UTC) reply
I suggest it be deleted, the likelihood of anyone searching the IPA instead of the term itself is highly unlikely. greyzxq talk 22:35, 17 September 2023 (UTC) reply
@ Greyzxq: I think many west coast First Nations use at least parts of the IPA for their orthography, making this slightly more plausible. I could be totally wrong about this, though. Edward-Woodrow :) [ talk 22:26, 17 September 2023 (UTC) reply
Keep per below. Edward-Woodrow :) [ talk 12:56, 19 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - The web is as much about the threads of the web as it is the web pages themselves. Lək̓ʷəŋən is how the Songhees Nation describe themselves and so it is important to be able to find the relevant article from this word. Some would consider deletion of this redirect as an example of colonial attempts to erase First Nations culture and language. At a time when we are trying to achieve reconciliation with First Nations, it is important to be inclusive and respectful.

The result of the discussion was retarget to Music and politics. (non-admin closure) Duckmather ( talk) 01:42, 25 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Not all political ideas are about revolution. Protest song would be a better target but is still misleading e.g. conservative/anti-social movement songs would be political but not protest. — Bilorv ( talk) 20:02, 17 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Retarget to music and politics. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 11:27, 18 September 2023 (UTC) reply
Comment: I didn't realise Music and politics was an article, but it looks like a good target to me. — Bilorv ( talk) 09:57, 23 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Microsoft (version) redirects

Same reason redirects like Microsoft 95, Microsoft 2000, Microsoft 7, Microsoft 8, and Microsoft 8.1 were deleted: All are implausible redirects; I don't see anyone referring to a Windows version as a "Microsoft (version)". Colgatepony234 ( talk) 16:32, 17 September 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep: harmless. I'l quote from my Disjointed thoughts on RfD and redirects: Likely search terms should be kept, and borderline cases should be kept too, as potentially helpful. Edward-Woodrow :) [ talk 19:48, 17 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, these seem like they can be likely search terms. Utopes ( talk / cont) 00:00, 18 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep or make disambig pages if the multiple versioned products is a big enough concern. Windows is the most likely item to be searched with these terms. Redirects don't have a notability requirement. - Darker Dreams ( talk) 01:36, 18 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Seeing how these four redirects exist, but the five in the red links got deleted doesn't feel consistent... should we have those recreated if this discussion ends in keep? At this point it feels like either delete these four, or recreate those five for consistency. Colgatepony234 ( talk) 03:03, 18 September 2023 (UTC) reply
    Note: three of those deletes were from 2014, three were speedy-deleted as late as 2018 (one was recreated a handful of times and kept getting speedy-deleted based on the prior RfD), previous RfD for 2 of these are noted above as keeps in 2015 and 2021. If we're keeping these consistency would say we should extend that to restoring all. Either way, maybe there should be some sort of "mass action" note on each for the group? - Darker Dreams ( talk) 12:19, 18 September 2023 (UTC) reply
I’d support recreating them if this discussion ends in ‘keep’. IIRC from checking earlier, at least one of them was deleted previously at a RfD; but I’d argue that a ‘keep’ vote here would signal that consensus has changed. Best, user:A smart kitten meow

Could also refer to the Sanskrit language used in Hindu texts like the Vedas Isla ( talk) 18:45, 1 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Unimportant comment: Keep with hatnote??? But hatnote is being discussed as a redirect right above this discussion, and there hasn't been any argument to keep it... Kind of suspicious... Utopes ( talk / cont) 04:59, 2 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Most likely to be a misspelling of Hindi. Rreagan007 ( talk) 15:48, 4 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Retarget with hatnote to Sanskrit. If someone wants to search for the "hindu language" referring to sanskrit, and they are redirected to hindi (against their choice) which has a hatnote "for the hindu language, follow this link", that is not great page design in my opinion. If I were the searcher in that situation, I feel I would be annoyed that my typo was redirected to an article I didn't want, with the actual article I correctly typed in being linked as a hatnote; it may feel like we "expect people to get the name wrong before we believe people intended to search for the hindu language".
I'm not an expert in this area so I'm not sure which is a more accurate description of "hindu language"; hindi or sanskrit. Whichever situation is the best description, I don't think we should treat this as a "typo of anything" because I feel seeking out the hindu language is a valid search term. So, whichever target is the more accurate "hindu language" should be the redirect target, with the other option being listed as a hatnote. My perspective is that sanskrit is more accurate for this task. Utopes ( talk / cont) 17:18, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep or retarget with hatnote. "People can find" arguments against WP: space redirects or hatnotes assume experienced, educated, currently fresh users. New users or those who have taken breaks may well encounter WP jargon and not remember exactly how to get to the right WP-space article. Darker Dreams ( talk) 23:44, 17 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Unhelpful: no mention at target. ( NPP action) Edward-Woodrow :) [ talk 14:58, 17 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Ideally, this (and Bloodbending) would link to World of Avatar: The Last Airbender, but that makes no mention of it either. It's first appearance in the show is in the third season, so Avatar: The Last Airbender (season 3) is probably the best place to link to. ArcticSeeress ( talk) 15:59, 17 September 2023 (UTC) reply

The film uses Día de los Muertos as a backdrop, but it isn't mentioned as the name of the film anywhere on the page or any other language versions of Wikipedia.

The result of the discussion was retarget to Flatulence. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 09:47, 24 September 2023 (UTC) reply

The closest connection I can fathom is "Winde" = obsolete spelling of "Wind"; "Wind" = abdominal gas; abdominal gas = abdominal gas = abdominal pain. Maybe I'm missing something, but this seems like a very unlikely search term. No evidence "Winde" was ever actually used to refer to abdominal pain. Edward-Woodrow :) [ talk 15:35, 9 September 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Retarget to flatulence, which is the target of intestinal gas. Pain can be caused by gas but gas is a symptom in and of itself. Wiktionary indicates that "winde" is an obsolete spelling of "wind", as in "passing wind", i.e. passing gas. It's also a word for "to wind" (as in winding something up, winding a crank, etc.) in several Germanic languages, but that's not a medical symptom.
