This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on December 2, 2024.
Jeebus
editThis Simpsons episode does not make sense. I say delete, unless anyone else has got a better idea. BarntToust 23:54, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Specify to #Reception, which mentions the word being used in pop culture. Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 05:38, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Specify according to Someone.Actually, the disambiguation page suggested by the IP seem like a better option. Ca talk to me! 10:44, 3 December 2024 (UTC) edited 04:51, 4 December 2024 (UTC)Delete...if I can't have chowda, then you don't get this.35.139.154.158 (talk) 22:42, 3 December 2024 (UTC)- Or after further consideration, retarget to Jebus. On a side note, I'm highly skeptical that the Simpsons thing should be spelled with a double e (it's not even consistent in the article). 35.139.154.158 (talk) 23:20, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Peter "Pete" B. Hegseth
edit- Peter "Pete" B. Hegseth → Pete Hegseth (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Implausible search term. Pete Hegseth has received over 4 million pageviews over the last 30 days. This redirect has received one. QuicoleJR (talk) 23:14, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep common way to indicate full name and nickname -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 03:41, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per IP. While number of pageview is a sign for plausibiblity, it is not the sole determinant. Ca talk to me! 10:42, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Pamintâ
edit"pamintâ" (with or without the circumflex, seems no one cares) refers to "black pepper" in a bunch of languages with seemingly not enough affinity. mentioned in passing in the list of bohol flora and fauna, but that'd be surprising cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 20:55, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Sometimes used in English texts [1], but always in context of Philipphine regions<sup Ca talk to me! 10:55, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Spicier
editpossible confusion with pungency, to which spicy redirects to? created by neelix, by the by cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 20:46, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Harmonize with spicy retarget to pungency -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 03:42, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Implausible search term. Why would readers search for the comparative term instead of the non-inflected one? Ca talk to me! 10:48, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Cooking/Seasoning
editpossible case of xy or accidental malfomed subpage? seems to have been created as an accidental move, but also not? cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 20:43, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Seems like a over holdover when subppages were the norm. Now has no use; no substantial history. Delete Ca talk to me! 01:36, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Wikipedia:WHITEWASHING

- Wikipedia:WHITEWASHING → Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Should be consistent with and per other RfD discussion that led to other two redirects (of similar kind) being deleted. --George Ho (talk) 19:21, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per the results of the November 2024(!) RfD. Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 04:58, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Speedy delete per WP:NOTBURO. This is a very obvious case. Ca talk to me! 11:00, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Naked snail
editnot in the plausible side of synonyms, from some quick looking. results gave me exactly one "naked snail", and it seems to have actually been a snail, instead of a slug cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 19:21, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Weak Keep Slightly plausible for those who forgot the proper word. According to Reddit, 'slug' in German is wikt:Nacktschnecke, lit. naked snail. But I feel like we have a hornless unicorn situation here. Ca talk to me! 03:29, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Ideologies:panarabism
edit- Ideologies:panarabism → Pan-Arabism (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Old redirect originally started as what seems to be a draft under an implausible title. None of WP:RFD#KEEP applies. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 17:42, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- delete as... fake namespace? created as an improperly (and seemingly unreliably) sourced essay and blar'd two minutes later, so i don't think there's anything to worry about deleting. still, an essay having sources at all is huge news, so that's kind of nice cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 19:40, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
Tshiamo Nong
edit- Tshiamo Nong → Supermodel (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not mentioned at the target at all. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:30, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Seems like a weird kind of promo/spam just to create a redirect for a model and point it to the supermodel article. Mbinebri (talk) 16:56, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- delete per nom. the category, which wasn't added by the creator, suggests that this is a south african male model, but the redirect shouldn't exist if he's not mentioned cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 19:23, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete I couldn't find a model by this name at all, nor could I even find anyone with even a visible face. I found a Facebook profile, which I do not want to link due to it containing porn (yes, really), a LinkedIn profile that doesn't even anything worthy of a picture let alone notable for ENWP, and two different Pinterest accounts, both having 0 followers and 0 following. Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 05:05, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete No good alternative target presents itself. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 12:01, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Just noting that this Redirect was untagged today with some other edits done. Liz Read! Talk! 09:07, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Actshy
editImplausible typo. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 16:01, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- not even a typo, this is just missing half the word. delete as what the older folk would describe as "FUCKING RAW" cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 16:06, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- It is a common joke to badly misspell "actually" as a sign for nerdiness, but this is just beyond the pale. Ca talk to me! 10:41, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Yes, it's a common joke to badly misspell "actually" and pair it with 🤓 to signify that someone's a nerd. However, as someone who has used that joke multiple times off-site, I have never seen anyone in the history of the joke use "actshy". Plus, the misspellings that ARE actually linked to the joke in at least some capacity (like ackchyually, ackshually and ackshly) don't exist. Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 03:37, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete I will also note that the page this redirects to is about an album, not the word itself. QuicoleJR (talk) 15:02, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
Criticism of object-oriented programming
edit- Criticism of object-oriented programming → Object-oriented programming#Criticism (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
The target section Object-oriented programming#Criticism does not exist in that form anymore, see this change. There are currently no incoming internal links. There is no relevant edit history at Criticism of object-oriented programming that would need to be preserved. Tea2min (talk) 09:55, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- It could link to Object-oriented programming#Popularity and reception, or just be deleted. My vote is delete. Mathnerd314159 (talk) 14:29, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Mathnerd314159: I already fixed the broken section anchor. Why is it better to delete it? Jarble (talk) 15:11, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- I just don't find it useful. It is not in use on-wiki and I don't think it is useful off-wiki either. I have plans to further restructure the OOP article and I don't think the effort to keep the anchor updated is worth it. Mathnerd314159 (talk) 20:46, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- Surely I've read a lot of published criticisms of OOP programming in my comp-sci classes back in the day. Shouldn't we have a section on it? Fieari (talk) 07:06, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- That's really a topic for the article talk. But my original change (linked above) was removing the criticism section and integrating the criticisms into the article. It has been 9 months and nobody minded the section's absence. Mathnerd314159 (talk) 22:19, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 00:24, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - we already have a mainspace article on the topic, we shouldn't retarget to a category - users won't expect this. As an aside, looking at other {{R to category namespace}} usages it seems to be full questionable redirects, like Political book BugGhost🦗👻 09:17, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Delete I agree with BugGhost that an XNR isn't useful here. But the target article doesn't really discuss criticism of Trump expect in passing. This seems like something we could plausibly create a broad concept article for, so I think a red link is preferable here. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 15:21, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- keep or retarget to Category:Criticism of Donald Trump or to Donald Trump. The word criticism is mentioned multiple times there, though a specific section doesn't exist for it. The redirect should exist, in some way.

SN-7619
edit- SN-7619 → 2,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not mentioned at target or anywhere else on English Wikipedia, Google search turns up nothing related to the the target. Delete. Mdewman6 (talk) 02:08, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. Not mentioned anywhere. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 18:05, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- There was a sourced mention, it was removed by IP in June with summary
citation doesn´t mention resorcylic acid , resochin and sontochin are diffrent substances than resorcylic acid
. It is unclear how the edit summary is related with SN-7619. Jay 💬 17:37, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- I looked at the the article cited by Invasive Spices which includes a confusing mention of 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid in relation to resochin. It also mentions SN-7619, but makes clear this was an old term to refer to resochin, which is the same as chloroquine. So, I would support a retarget to chloroquine if this article is referenced there and it's added as an alternative name, however I also think this is somewhat obscure and not in modern use.

Irrelevant alternate capitalization not used in any other articles. MimirIsSmart (talk) 09:56, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Hey man im josh (talk) 15:21, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:CHEAP. Feiss is still mentioned in the article, so Ellen Feiss (which has an extensive edit history and whose AfD discussion resulted in the title being redirected to its present target) is worth keeping. This redirect used to target Feiss' article before it was turned into a redirect, so I'm not sure what's harmful about it, especially since the capitalization isn't hurting anything. Regards, SONIC678 01:32, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Moseley tea service
edit- Moseley tea service → Earl Grey tea#Alcoholic preparations (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
unmentioned. the section it targets to mentioned it as a type of cocktail named after moseley, but it's currently gone, so... cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 13:31, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: We could change the target to just Earl Grey tea. I'm finding a smattering of recipes and travel guide references to this drink that confirm that it exists and uses Earl Grey as a primary ingredient. It's a plausible search term that doesn't warrant an article. It could conceivably receive a mention in the Earl Grey tea article. ~ Pbritti (talk) 13:51, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

National Italian American Foundation
edit- National Italian American Foundation → it:National Italian American Foundation (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
(NPP action) An article at this title was deleted at AfD in 2020. Per WP:SOFTSP, interwiki redirects should not be made to other-language Wikipedias. jlwoodwa (talk) 01:17, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- delete per nom cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 11:28, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. This is the English language wikipedia, not the Italian. The Banner talk 17:05, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. I can't actually find the claim that interwiki redirects should not be made to other-language Wikipedias at WP:SOFTSP. Why shouldn't they? Wouldn't a soft redirect be a good solution here? --Trovatore (talk) 02:13, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Trovatore: I think it's implied by
The plain {{soft redirect}} template should not be used in the mainspace. Instead, use one of the specialized templates (see below)
, and the fact that there is no {{Wikipedia redirect}} template. As for "why not": readers of the English Wikipedia are looking for English-language content. jlwoodwa (talk) 04:25, 24 November 2024 (UTC)- The first is a little speculative — maybe the specialization is listed somewhere else, or maybe just no one's made it yet. That doesn't necessarily imply an active opposition to interlang redirects.
- As to the second, probably you didn't mean it this way, but that can be taken as almost insulting, the stereotype of the monolingual American/Brit/Aussie. The purpose of soft redirects is to help users find relevant content in sister projects, and I don't see why we wouldn't want to help them find it in other languages (whether those are technically "sister projects" is beside the point). --Trovatore (talk) 06:26, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- yeah, but said relevant content is locked behind a different wiki with (possibly) different quality standards and a different language. it's statistically not very likely that everyone who looks for something like this would coincidentally know english and italian. contrast to soft redirects to wiktionary as an example, which lead to the english wiktionary
- also, that second point didn't really make much sense. what's so insulting or stereotypical about wp-en readers wanting content in english? isn't that the entire reason they're not on wp-it? cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 11:26, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- Wiktionary also has different inclusions standards from English Wikipedia — very different, seeing that it has a different purpose. Italian Wikipedia is at least closer than that. They're entitled to their own standards, but they're in the same general milieu; it's not like a random web link.
- Of course not everyone who looks this up is likely to know Italian, but given the topic, it seems likely that a fair number will, or will at least be able to puzzle it out.
- What's insulting is not assuming that they're looking for content in English, but that they're looking for content only in English. The fact that someone is looking in English Wikipedia provides no warrant to assume they're not interested in content in other languages as well. --Trovatore (talk) 19:46, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- unfortunately, betting on the chance of someone knowing that other language in the first place is, in the nicest way i can put it, lazy. for cases like this, there are some solutions i've seen
- returning to red
- including a red link, but also a link to an article in an appropriate language (mineirinho ultra adventures [pt]). haven't seen this outside of the touhou project infobox though, which means i haven't seen it in mainspace, so i'm not sure this would be a good idea
- creating an article lmao
- i am still inclined towards the first, since someone could create an article later on cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 12:10, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- It isn't "betting" on the user knowing Italian. Look, not everything in Wikipedia has to be useful to every user. For example, many technical articles are entirely useless to any reader who doesn't have a very strong technical background, and that's just fine, because Wikipedia is WP:MANYTHINGS. The fact that there's a well-written (though admittedly poorly sourced) Italian article on this topic should not be ignored; we should find some way to surface that to the reader who searches for this term. --Trovatore (talk) 17:54, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

- Keep or modify somehow, not sure how, but the user searching this term should get some sort of indication that there is an it.wiki article. --Trovatore (talk) 21:42, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Retarget to a local target (per above), or delete (second choice; if consensus for a local target fails). Sending readers to non-English content is not helpful, and no other redirects to foreign language targets exist. Additionally, the plain {{soft redirect}} template is not used in the mainspace (WP:SOFTSP). See here for precedents. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 22:38, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

- Comment I sharply disagree with Godsy's assertion that "[s]ending readers to non-English content is not helpful". This does seem like a more general discussion, though. It might be worth bringing it up on the Village Pump. --Trovatore (talk) 17:06, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Just pointing this out, WP:SRD does directly address this topic:
Soft redirects to non-English language editions of Wikipedia should be avoided because they are generally unhelpful to English-language readers. Instead, editors should link to the alternate language Wikipedia directly with one of various forms of interlanguage links.
I don't object to discussion about this guideline, but just clarifying that the discussion would be about reversing this guideline, not creating one. Tollens (talk) 19:04, 2 December 2024 (UTC)- ...does this mean i was right about including a red link followed by an interlanguage one? cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 19:42, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Yep. The template {{ill}} will do it automatically too, and remove the link to the alternate language when an English version is created also. It's also used quite widely in mainspace. Tollens (talk) 04:11, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

- It seems we do severely disagree; I support the idea of speedily deleting such redirects. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 09:20, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Well, but you have not really said why; you've just made the unsupported assertion that they are "[s]ending readers to non-English content is not helpful". I don't think that's true. --Trovatore (talk) 05:33, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- Our target readership is those who can read in English and all of our content is written on the assumption that the reader can read English. Redirects to foreign language Wikipedias are outside the scope of our target audience and discourage the creation of articles in English at those titles. The argument that 'such redirects are useful to some English readers and harmless to the others' would also apply if someone tried to insert foreign language passages into any of our articles. In regard to 'technical articles being beyond many readers comprehension,' it is our job to provide something they can read (not something they have as of yet the prior knowledge necessary to understand). Foreign language material is likely fundamentally inaccessible to a very large portion of our readers. Even when our readers do read a foreign language, we cannot anticipate which foreign language(s) they might be able to read. Anyone seeking to use machine translation (a novel predicament) can do so through location on their own accord (not our prerogative to encourage and we may not want to for many reasons). That aside: firstly, we have no selection criteria as to when, if ever, such a redirect would be appropriate as opposed to a redlink. Secondly, we have no criteria for which language should be chosen if an article exists in multiple other languages. Thirdly, sister projects naturally cover content we do not (this is why they exist) and we have stringent guidelines about when soft redirecting to them is appropriate; on the other hand, other language versions of Wikipedia have the same generalized scope as us (for a different language) but may vary wildly in their content policies (e.g. something reasonably covered there may likely never be appropriate here)—this is problematic as it creates a backdoor for pseudo-coverage of things not up to our standards. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 09:18, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- Other languages are entitled to their own content policies, and really I think that ought to create an entry to surfacing them in searches on en.wiki. Especially in cases like this one, where the topic is "intuitively notable", but may not hit the exact criteria developed in the arcana of en.wiki notability "law".
- That the foreign-language content is "inaccessible to a very large portion of our readers" I don't see as a problem. That's also true for highly technical articles. The WP:MANYTHINGS essay is on point here. Note though that foreign languages are a bit more accessible to most readers than technical content, because of auto-translation.
- The question of which language to surface is indeed problematic in general (though for the article under discussion here it seems pretty clear), which is why I didn't !vote for a soft redirect exactly, but said that some solution should be found to surface the it.wiki article; I'm not sure exactly how. I've been noodling on it without a clear answer yet. --Trovatore (talk) 18:13, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- I addressed the 'highly technical article' argument above. The 'auto-translation argument' (alluded to above) would also apply to importing machine translated foreign language articles; we have harsh restrictions against (
Raw or lightly edited machine translations have long been considered by the English Wikipedia community to be worse than nothing.
) it locally. Thus, we should not overtly encourage readers to use machine translation. The question of when is much greater than the question of which in my opinion. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 19:56, 4 December 2024 (UTC)- OK, I missed your response to the "technical" argument. But I don't agree. I think someone with no knowledge of point-set topology trying to read our Stone–Čech compactification article would find it no easier than a monoglot reading something in a language close enough to English that they can recognize roots.
- Using machine translation to write articles is very different from using it to read them. I completely agree we should not do the former. Machine translation has gotten much better than I ever thought it would which to be honest I regret to some extent, as it reduces the apparent value of learning languages, an activity with great benefits beyond the obvious but it's nowhere near good enough to produce encyclopedic content by itself. But reading it is different — there you just need enough to be able to work your way through it.
- As to "when" we should surface foreign-language articles — why not always? If another WP has an article on the exact topic, I think we should make that known somehow to users searching for the term. (Again, I don't know exactly how. Maybe through teh search engine itself, which would require dev help.) --Trovatore (talk) 20:06, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- again, interlanguage link template. no need for a redirect with one of those bad boys around cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 20:40, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- On what page would you put the template?

- I addressed the 'highly technical article' argument above. The 'auto-translation argument' (alluded to above) would also apply to importing machine translated foreign language articles; we have harsh restrictions against (
- Our target readership is those who can read in English and all of our content is written on the assumption that the reader can read English. Redirects to foreign language Wikipedias are outside the scope of our target audience and discourage the creation of articles in English at those titles. The argument that 'such redirects are useful to some English readers and harmless to the others' would also apply if someone tried to insert foreign language passages into any of our articles. In regard to 'technical articles being beyond many readers comprehension,' it is our job to provide something they can read (not something they have as of yet the prior knowledge necessary to understand). Foreign language material is likely fundamentally inaccessible to a very large portion of our readers. Even when our readers do read a foreign language, we cannot anticipate which foreign language(s) they might be able to read. Anyone seeking to use machine translation (a novel predicament) can do so through location on their own accord (not our prerogative to encourage and we may not want to for many reasons). That aside: firstly, we have no selection criteria as to when, if ever, such a redirect would be appropriate as opposed to a redlink. Secondly, we have no criteria for which language should be chosen if an article exists in multiple other languages. Thirdly, sister projects naturally cover content we do not (this is why they exist) and we have stringent guidelines about when soft redirecting to them is appropriate; on the other hand, other language versions of Wikipedia have the same generalized scope as us (for a different language) but may vary wildly in their content policies (e.g. something reasonably covered there may likely never be appropriate here)—this is problematic as it creates a backdoor for pseudo-coverage of things not up to our standards. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 09:18, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

- Weak keep All of the incoming links appear to be using "Recent" in its geological definition (i.e., as a synonym for Holocene). I do think there is a point to be made about the geological definition not being the "primary topic," so to speak. But I'm hesitant to delete since the "primary" definition isn't getting wikilinked at the moment. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 21:09, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

- Lean delete, although I'm not unsympathetic to the cleanup that would require. Maybe someone could use AWB or a bot to automate the process, but I don't know if that's more trouble than it's worth. This seems to be used in a bunch of taxoboxes in a technical sense, but far more often, it's done better, with "Recent" as a piped link to Holocene instead of relying on the redirect (see e.g. Giraffe).
