Foreign Semendyayev redirects

Collection of bad WP:RFOREIGN. The target is not Chinese, Greek or Japanese and seems to have no connection to the three countries. I excluded all Latin alphabet redirects to the same target from this nom, but they definitely need some scrutiny. I don't have the knowledge to tell which of the multiple romanizations used is correct or not and I want to avoid a WP:TRAINWRECK so, if anyone else wants to deal with that mess, be my guest. Nickps ( talk) 22:18, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Some transliteration schemes include diacritics, some don't. Unfortunately, there is no one universal scheme and there have been many changes over the decades, so if we want people to get successfully redirected to our article no matter what variant they find in their texts we have to cover them all. Redirects are cheap. -- Matthiaspaul ( talk) 03:15, 31 May 2024 (UTC) reply
There are thousands of active languages in the world, so we will have to put a limit somewhere. The redirects that an English speaker might find useful are the ones they can likely experience in English-language literature, this includes Cyrillics and various transliterations into English. English alphabet does not include diacritics, so transliteration using it is highly unlikely to be useful to them. Викидим ( talk) 16:54, 31 May 2024 (UTC) reply

CS2

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 Disambiguate by moving CS2 (disambiguation) to the base title. Thryduulf ( talk) 11:55, 8 June 2024 (UTC) reply

I think CS2 should point to either Counter-Strike 2 or CS2 (disambiguation), rather than Carbon disulfide (CS2)

Googling "CS2" overwhelmingly shows Counter-Strike 2, and the names have been used interchangeably by most who are familiar with the game, including the developers. [1]

Out of the articles shown on CS2 (disambiguation) that could arguably go by the name "CS2", carbon disulfide is the lowest-trafficked, and Counter-Strike 2 the highest [2]. BugGhost 🪲👻 21:02, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Retarget and hatnote to Counter-Strike 2. I highly doubt most people looking for information on carbon disulfide don't also know its full name.

Updating my position: Disambiguate - The disambiguation voters have swayed me, I think moving the contents of the disambiguation page over to CS2 makes the most sense. BugGhost 🪲👻 12:28, 7 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Technofascism and Techno-fascism

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 No consensus, retarget. There is no consensus between pointing both to Techno-populism#Technocratic populism and deleting both. After three relisting and no comments in over a week it's very unlikely that continuing to discus this will result in a consensus, but with absolutely no support for the status quo a simple no consensus defaulting to keep is not appropriate. Accordingly I've chosen to retarget as the lesser action per WP:NCRET. Thryduulf ( talk) 12:06, 8 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Same terminology, different meanings. Does its meaning depend on the absence/presence of the hyphen, or can it have both meanings either way? – MrPersonHumanGuy ( talk) 21:09, 15 April 2024 (UTC) reply

  • My thought exactly. Either it is a term legitimately attested to in the literature, or else it is POV and should be deleted. Which of these it is, I will leave to smarter contributors than myself – the top Google “hit” points to one of the target Wikipedia articles and the second one points to this RfD itself! (and subsequent “hits” point to academic articles that are way “above my head.”) Bwrs ( talk) 05:02, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply
did some looking around and "technofascism" apparently means "fascism that uses technology", not "fascism in technology", so both of those are wrong
either retarget them to fascism or a more fitting target, or cause them to mysteriously disappear delete cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 14:16, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply
I imagined "technofascism" being a portmanteau of technocracy and fascism (with the former referring to governance by experts, not technology itself) and that it would refer to a blend of both. – MrPersonHumanGuy ( talk) 19:25, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete There's one sentence at the proposed target (Techno-fascism is a concept introduced by Janis Mimura to describe an authoritarian rule executed by technocrats). That's really not enough substance to support two redirects. * Pppery * it has begun... 19:14, 21 May 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Weak retarget to techno-populism per asilvering. The term is mentioned and explained, though briefly, and the target article is topical enough that it seems likely to provide useful context around related subjects for the searcher. It also seems reasonably likely that it'll be expanded with more context as the article improves. Secondarily, delete -- current targets are inappropriate and confusing. Rusalkii ( talk) 20:01, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delate. The only WP:RS on the subject that I know ( [3]), is not agreeing with either target. In short, this is just a word used for verbal attacks that different parts of the political spectrum define differently. We can potentially find more sources and create an article about the word, reducing the word to label just one of the meanings (inherent in redirect) would be introducing a PoV for no good reason.-- Викидим ( talk) 22:13, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Telephonics Corporation is no longer owned by Griffon Corporation. If Telephonics is not sufficiently notable for its own article, the redirect should be deleted. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 19:44, 2 May 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: Telephonics Corporation has a section at the target article ( Griffon Corporation#Telephonics Corporation), which includes a mention of its sale. I'm unsure why this redirect needs to be deleted - even though the company seems to have been sold, this section of the Griffon Corporation article still seems to contain the most information on the company that Wikipedia currently has, and so - in the absence of an article on Telephonics Corporation - seems to be the best target to send readers looking for information on it to.

WP:R#DELETE #2 No evidence it is a common incorrect name, and even then, it is potentially ambiguous as it is not a correct name for any Wikipedia-notable topic. - CHAMPION ( talk) ( contributions) ( logs) 08:21, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Delete This redirect definitely is confusing. While I can see how this error is made (thinking Kim is the first name and Jong is a omittable middle name(they are not)), there are many potential targets if incorrect interpretation is followed. It has low page views, (only 21 in 90 days). Ca talk to me! 08:57, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Delete per given reasonings. Also, "Kim Un" is a valid and normal-sounding Korean-language name; it's pretty conceivable to me that someone has that name right now and in future we'll have an article with that title. 104.232.119.107 ( talk) 09:16, 31 May 2024 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was Keep. Thryduulf ( talk) 12:11, 8 June 2024 (UTC) reply

This redirect was tagged for speedy deletion but the tag removed with the statement that this nickname is "a real thing". I doubt this so I'm sending this to RFD. I can't see where the legitimacy of this insult is documented. There seems to be a long history of insulting redirects for political figures and I'm hoping that the redirect experts at RFD will be able to make a judgment on this one. Liz Read!

This phrase appears to be from a Tweet by Michael Cohen (lawyer). Re-target to List_of_nicknames_of_presidents_of_the_United_States#Donald_Trump as there is a reliably-sourced mention there. Ca talk to me! 09:11, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Retarget as per Ca. The fact that this was actually entered into the federal record does raise the possibility that someone might actually search for this-- let's take them to the information we have on it. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 ( talk) 10:08, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Retarget per above. - Presidentman talk · contribs ( Talkback) 14:22, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Keep, I understand the argument for retargeting, but the initial target is best. Most people searching for the phrase on Wikipedia would be looking for the context in which it was said in court, which the article on Trump’s prosecution provides.
Additionally, the list is mostly popular nicknames used against Trump, which this phrase is not. As far as I am aware, no one other than Cohen is using this term outside of discussion about the court case, so it is best to keep the target. Slamforeman ( talk) 15:01, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply
That'd be a good idea, if it weren't for the fact that in the current target, it's only mentioned in the Notes section, while the proposed target discusses it directly. If they really want to get to the current target, it's directly linked in the proposed target. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 ( talk) 15:30, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply
That can all be changed, surely. Anything more that could be written about this nickname, which would probably just be "it was said in court", would pertain to the prosecution. Slamforeman ( talk) 16:29, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply
