Delete: Even with being non-neutral, it's obscure enough that it doesn't meet the requirements for being kept under
WP:RNEUTRAL. I also find it highly unlikely that someone who uses this search term views the Baltic States as the only so-called "NATO Occupied" parts of the Former Soviet Union. This is, non-neutral, non-ambiguous and rarely used.

Weak retarget to some page like

Delete, unlikely search term whose vague meaning may as mentioned refer to something related to the past war and NATO campaign. As that would be vague too, in the unlikely situation someone uses this term best not to direct them to somewhere they may not have wanted to go.

Proposing deletion, as this is an implassible search term. In 2023 and beyond, readers are likely to either seek the athlete
Rudy Gobert's article or the
2019-20 NBA season article for information on Gobert testing positive for COVID-19 in March 2020, which lead to the season's temporary suspension. In the past year, this redirect has a daily average of zero pageviews, and no pages link to this redirect created in May 2020 when Gobert's positive test may have seemed more important. This is the equivalent of creating a redirect called "J. Robert Oppenheimer button press" to the article
Trinity (nuclear test), simply because a reader might search that exact phrasing of the cause for information on its effect.

Just as vague as
👩💻 . Unhelpful and fails the existing precedent at
WP:REMOJI. Furthermore, anyone typing this in to search bar is either a) doing it for fun to see what they get, or b) looking for
emojipedia-style information on the emoji itself. They're certainly not looking for
Information technology. Really, I'd like all emoji redirects to be deleted with that reasoning, but this one is so ridiculously vague that it even goes against the existing precedent
WP:REMOJI. Delete with prejudice.

Keep.
It's defined as "Man Technologist". The use of a laptop specifically refers to information technology, so this is a good target. Otherwise, I would think you'd be able to get no narrower than
Technology, unless we went the literal route with
laptop (which I'm okay with). --

@
Edward-Woodrow: the two examples that you posted are what are called "combined glyphs" that use multiple emojis combined. No one is arguing that every combination of glyphs should have a Wikipedia page, but all of the base emojis do. Again, deleting this one would make it the only base emoji without a Wikipedia article/redirect, and therefore inconsistent in coverage. Additionally, the votes have consistently been in favor of keeping/retargeting them rather than deletion.
Enix150 (

@
Enix150 This is also a combined glyph. The Man Technologist emoji is a ZWJ sequence combining 👨 Man, Zero Width Joiner and 💻 Laptop. Not to mention there is no rationale whatsoever for why we should cover every single emoji.

Comment: I agree with the general sentiment that Wikipedia should be consistent in what gets deleted & what doesn’t, where possible. As
👩💻 has been closed as keep, I feel it may be a possible cause for confusion if the discussion for
👨💻 doesn’t end in the same way.
However - as I
mentioned on my talk page - I feel it may now be beneficial for an RfC to be held on the topic of emoji redirects, after the issue has been explored/discussed enough (potentially at
WP:VPI?) to create a formal proposal on the matter. Considering the emoji redirects that have come to RfD recently, I’ve started to come to the opinion that the subject of emoji redirects in general may need more thrashing out than can really be done in the context of time-limited RfDs.
Therefore, I suppose I’ll vote weak keep on this RfD — but without prejudice to renomination once there is more of a clear community consensus on the use of emoji redirects as a whole, if the nominator believes that the redirect goes against whatever consensus is reached. (I would also extend this lack of prejudice to other emoji redirects that have been recently nominated.)
An RfC on emojis probably couldn't hurt, but tbh I'm not sure if I'd participate much. These RfD debates have fairly well tired me out on the emojis issue. Edward-Woodrow •
talk 20:29, 21 September 2023 (UTC)reply
Retarget to
Technologist (a disambiguation page). This emoji is defined as "Man technologist" so we should take people using it to the same target as if they'd typed "technologist" (given that the gender is not relevant here).

talk 21:06, 13 October 2023 (UTC)reply
The emoji has a single, precise, definition. We have a disambiguation page that lists all the articles that relate to the emoji's precise definition that would take readers looking this up to whichever of those meanings they are interested in. Alternatively, we have a page that details the information about the emoji itself, that also offers relevant information. As a third option we could create a disambig/set index that explains the meaning, links to the dab,
laptop and anything else appropriate. None of these options will be reliably found by search results (which may be multiple clicks/taps away). I'm not seeing anything remotely close to a justification for deletion.
Thryduulf (
talk) 15:25, 14 October 2023 (UTC)reply
Why would someone already know this officially means "technologist"? The searcher is likely trying to figure that information out, so it's important to guide the searcher to the target that best matches the definition. --
Tavix(

I agree. I meant that as an argument against retargeting to
Technologist. But I'm not convinced that
Information technology is any better a target than, say,
Computing,
Internet,
Laptop, or
User (computing), just to name a few that immediately come to mind. Trying to guess what a user might be looking for in a case like this seems like a losing game. --

Delete as a redirect which is more harmful than useful, because it's wasting too much editor time that could be spent on more useful work, like, writing articles. I'm open to changing my mind if someone can explain to me how the redirect is useful. If the redirect must be kept, then retarget to gender disparity in computing, as an {{avoided double redirect}} to men in computing, until someone writes the article – keeping usage consistent with
👩💻. –

Neutral – Per
WP:RDRAFT, there's usually a consensus to keep redirects generated when moving a draft article to mainspace. The same applies here, however the article in mainspace was
WP:BLAR'd as the results
of its AfD, making this an {{R from avoided double redirect}}. This may also be a
WP:RDELETE#10 case, since the target article contains nearly nothing that existed in the drafts and may prevent creating another draft of the article (presumably, with
WP:GNG-meeting sources).

Target page
derealization doesn't actually use the term "unreality" anywhere in its prose (though it does use "unreal"). I had thought to move
Unreality (album) into its place and add a hatnote, but after a discussion (
which can be seen here), it seems that wasn't a perfect solution after all. Looking back on it, I'm still not entirely sure how appropriate the redirect is, and think perhaps it should be either my initial page move/hatnote idea or Dr. Vogel's dab suggestion (though as was noted at the time,
there's only one exact match for it).

Comment@
CycloneYoris:, I don't think these should have been bundled because while they target the same article, they are completely different titles in nearly every other capacity. Both look to be CSD candidates as well; created entirely in error via page moves. Utopes(talk / cont) 14:23, 30 September 2023 (UTC)reply
@
Utopes: How so? They were both nominated by the same editor who wrote the same exact rationale for
both nominations. The fact that both titles are somewhat different is irrelevant, and it shouldn't be an impediment for discussing them here.
CycloneYoristalk! 20:11, 30 September 2023 (UTC)reply
@
CycloneYoris: Firstly, I do appreciate bundling as a general practice because it helps consolidate the discussion when the titles fall into the same category, and the ~same points apply generally for every title in the bundle. In this case, however, I would like to note this: Just because the nominator is the same, and the nominator's rationale is the same, and the page creations were made the same way... does not mean that bundling is always appropriate. In this case I'd argue that it was not, because the redirects are absolutely separate cases. The first redirect is the old title with a slash, while the second title is... I'm honestly not really sure to be honest. The titles being different is ABSOLUTELY relevant, because the titles have nothing in common which makes the discussions for either redirect segmented and mixed together, (because the rationale behind discussing the two titles I'd expect to be wholly separate, especially evidenced by what's been said so far). I also feel bundles should only be made if they are uncontroversial, and at this point I would like to revert to an unbundled state if it was plausible to do so. Utopes(talk / cont) 15:13, 1 October 2023 (UTC)reply
On a completely tangential note separate from the bundling, at this point in time, I think both should be speedy deleted by CSD G6. R3 seems to also apply.Utopes(talk / cont) 14:32, 30 September 2023 (UTC)reply
Speedy deletion is no longer applicable since I have !voted to keep the first redirect, which I find highly plausible (even though it was created via page move disruption).
CycloneYoristalk! 20:11, 30 September 2023 (UTC)reply
To this point, before this RfD, I would have personally tagged both of these articles for CSD G6 because both were clearly created in error. You say speedy deletion is no longer eligible for the first redirect, which is fine as that's your !vote. Another problem with the bundling is now it confuses the line about what arguments apply to which; nobody has said anything in favor of Astoria Bland so I'm CSD tagging it because that redirect was still clearly created in error.
