- Johto water dragon → List of generation II Pokémon#Kingdra (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Kingdra is never referred to as "Johto water dragon" at the target, making this an unlikely description and not a redirect that needs to be maintained. Utopes (talk / cont) 22:39, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- delete for the same reason as "dialga the temportal pokemon". that's at best an issue for bulbapedia cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 23:31, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Delete because why not Gyarados? Steel1943 (talk) 23:43, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- it's not from johto, or a dragon-type cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 23:44, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- It didn't originate in gen 2, but it is in gen 2. And don't get me started on the "It's not a dragon if it's not dragon-type" argument; example: Charizard. Steel1943 (talk) 18:11, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- the pokémon(?) described as being "like if a dragon banged a robot idfk" isn't dragon or steel type, so anything goes, really cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 18:30, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Redirected after a 2009 AfD here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Notched-Ear Pichu. "Notch" not mentioned at the target, making this an unlikely and unhelpful search term. Utopes (talk / cont) 22:37, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- delete. it's not even the right name. that one pichu that's stuck in gen 4 is called "spiky-eared pichu" cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 23:43, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

- Contact Center as a Service → Call centre (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Alternate capitalization of two pages, Contact Center as a service, and Contact center as a service, the latter being a copy-paste of the former without attribution. The former was retargeted to the latter and deleted as G8, but this capitalization variant is still floating, and no longer discussed at the target. Utopes (talk / cont) 20:52, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - should have been deleted along with the original target. A7V2 (talk) 23:00, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep because it's not a "novel or very obscure synonym", which is the criteria under WP:RFD#DELETE for unmentioned names. It might be better pointed specifically at the Call centre#Virtual call centre section, but I don't think that's critical. The capitalization (which wouldn't be a reason to delete a redirect anyway) is appropriate, because the abbreviation is CCaaS, to mirror SaaS. WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:30, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Ridiculous number of redirects for this article. This seems like an unlikely case for a redirect. PepperBeast (talk) 20:10, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Note I've bundled these redirects that all had an identical rationale. Thryduulf (talk) 20:38, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Having a lot of redirects to an article is absolutely not a problem in and of itself. Also note that the current target is nominated for detion, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Canidae in Meitei culture. As for what to do with these, I am neutral on the first few and the last one (ending "in Manipuri culture") as I think they would be fine if they ended "in Meitei culture" but I don't understand the context enough to know if this is equivalent, noting that Manipuri culture is a dab page. Keep Vixen in Meitei culture (discussed at target), Keep Canid in Meitei culture. Delete the rest (those beggining with "domestic dogs" and "hunting dogs") as there isn't really any discussion at the target about these. A7V2 (talk) 23:10, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Actually for the ones starting "domestic dogs", Animals in Meitei culture#Dogs in Meitei culture would appear to be a suitable target. A7V2 (talk) 23:12, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Further, for "Wolf/ves in Manipuri culture" I think delete as the discussion of wolves specifically is minimal. A7V2 (talk) 22:56, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
Having a lot of redirects to an article is absolutely not a problem in and of itself
It is when the author is very clearly just spamming redirects. The article itself should not even exist, never mind the ten thousand redirects. Brusquedandelion (talk) 09:30, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, incredible there even needs to be a discussion about this. Brusquedandelion (talk) 09:31, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Policy based rationale? Because this is textbook WP:IDONTLIKEIT. 🌺 Cremastra (talk) 17:18, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- WP:COMMONSENSE. Brusquedandelion (talk) 03:41, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

- Keep all: Regardless of how the AfD turns out, these are possibly useful redirects that can be targeted to the merged section if the target is closed as merge/redirect. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:56, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep all : Those terms are English language synonymous terms of the important topics mentioned and discussed inside the article in varying degrees. For example, canidae, caninae, canids, canines, etc. are all scientifically as well as terminologically directly related as well as derivatives of one another. Those are zoological terms for the group of animals that consists of wolves, jackals and dogs. Vixen isn't an irrelevant term but a feminine gender of fox. Deletion isn't the solution. --Haoreima (talk) 00:56, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Strong keep all,
incredible there even needs to be a discussion about this.
Subtopics of the main article clearly acceptable under WP:RPURPOSE. Can likely still be useful regardless of the AfD result per Hey man im Josh. 🌺 Cremastra (talk) 21:17, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Ridiculous number of redirects for this article. PepperBeast (talk) 19:56, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Pepperbeast: Could you please bundle these redirects since they're all pointed to the same location? Also, please be aware, "ridiculous number of redirects" is not a valid deletion rationale. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:29, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Note. I've bundled these redirects to the same target with a near-identical nomination statement. Thryduulf (talk) 20:45, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep all, helpful, discussed at target, nominator provides zero rationale for deletion. We have a ridiculous number of articles on Wikipedia. Let's delete some of them, I don't care if they're useful. 🌺 Cremastra (talk) 02:01, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- Target does not mention wolf or wolves except as an item in a word list. Canis, caninae, and vixen seem like unlikely article searches. PepperBeast (talk) 13:00, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- Are you serious? Not only should the redirects be deleted, but so too should the article they point too. This is just mind numbingly jobless behavior from some Manipuri nationalist. Brusquedandelion (talk) 09:26, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Brusquedandelion and Pepperbeast: These are all discussed at the target, they are subtopics of "Canidae." Wolves, jackals, foxes, and Caninae are all canids. Obviously if the AfD returns a "delete" result then these should be deleted as broken redirects, but otherwise they are useful. So far neither of you have given any rationale for deleting these apart from WP:IDONTLIKEIT statements that make this nomination unhelpful and borderline-disruptive. Brusquedandelion, you call these redirects "spam", which makes no sense because they are discussed to varying degrees at the target, and you say that this is
mind numbingly jobless behavior from some Manipuri nationalist
, which is pretty much a WP:PA against Haoreima. I encourage you to strike that part of your comment.

Sub-topics or other topics which are described or listed within a wider article.
🌺 Cremastra (talk) 17:11, 11 February 2024 (UTC)- Claiming the redirect should exist simply because they are discussed at the target is irrelevant given the target itself should not exist. Brusquedandelion (talk) 20:59, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Then take that up at the deletion discussion. This is not a discussion about the article, this a discussion about these redirects on their independent merits. 🌺 Cremastra (talk) 21:31, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- But why? WP:COMMONSENSE suggests that I should absolutely use all information available to me in trying to make Wikipedia a better encyclopedia. Brusquedandelion (talk) 01:39, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- Then take that up at the deletion discussion. This is not a discussion about the article, this a discussion about these redirects on their independent merits. 🌺 Cremastra (talk) 21:31, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Like you realize ANYONE can edit a Wikipedia article, right? Are you telling me if I follow this simple, two-step procedure, I can manufacture whichever redirects I wish?
- Edit the destination article to introduce whichever topic I wish.
- Manufacture a new redirect from the topic I introduced to the destination article.
- I confess I am new to this site. But if you're sincerely telling me that Wikipedia has no safeguards against such a simple tactic- against this and others sorts of, well, frankly, jobless behavior by people with nothing better to do (let's call a spade a spade), how do Wikipedia admins get anything done at all? How are you not constantly just dealing with a river of mind-numbingly dull minutia?
- Surely there's some safeguard against this. Brusquedandelion (talk) 21:03, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, we do have policies on what sort of thing should be listed in articles, otherwise they would be, as you note, piles of minutiae and tangents. WP:DUE is one of the most salient, along with WP:TRIVIA and WP:SUMMARY 🌺 Cremastra (talk) 21:32, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

- Note that the current target is nominated for deletion, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Canidae in Meitei culture. I am neutral (leaning keep) on the first (see my comments above on the redirects ending "Manipuri"). Keep "Caninae...", "Canis..." and "Fox...". Delete the rest as there isn't really any discussion of wolves or jackals. A7V2 (talk) 22:54, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

- Why do you believe these should be deleted? Thryduulf (talk) 20:02, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Do you think there should be Wikipedia pages for X in Y culture, where X is any word for a species of animal, and Y is any culture? Obviously not. Brusquedandelion (talk) 03:45, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- If there is content about that species in that culture, it is likely a useful redirect. If there isn't it is likely not. Thryduulf (talk) 11:18, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Do you think there should be Wikipedia pages for X in Y culture, where X is any word for a species of animal, and Y is any culture? Obviously not. Brusquedandelion (talk) 03:45, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

- Keep all: Possibly useful. Not really seeing a problem with them. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:58, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- How are they useful? Brusquedandelion (talk) 03:45, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- This is because foxes, jackals, and wolves are separate species from dogs. Though perhaps unlikely to be thought of first, a specialist might be specifically interested in the role of foxes in this culture, and look that up specifically. If we do have significant writing on this topic, a redirect is helpful. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 10:03, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Because this is what redirects are for. Read WP:REDIRECT.

- Keep all: Those are all directly relevant terms, which are discussed in the article at varying degrees, not random spams. Haoreima (talk) 00:48, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- These would all be retargeted to Animals in Meitei culture#Dogs in Meitei culture once the current merge discussion as concluded. Currently, many of the animals in these redirects aren't mentioned there yet (wolves, foxes), so it's hard for me to tell what it will look like after the merge. I expect a Complete keep would be fine here, though specific animals may end up omitted. "Vixen" should be omitted unless female foxes are explicitly mentioned in the article. I think we have to wait and see for the end result. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 10:01, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

- Dexerto → Richard Lewis (journalist) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
current target is to an employee--not the founder or EIC, just an editor at large. Dexerto is only barely mentioned on the page. Alyo (chat·edits) 16:33, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: As author, I made this redirect, given the article was previously deleted, to fill the red links left behind. There is a draft at Draft:Dexerto that can be worked on to eventually take over from this redirect, and no other article in the mainspace presently refers to Dexerto outside of it being used as a source, which is cited in a multitude of articles. WP:Redirects are cheap, and it is better to provide a link for our readers than not to. Trailblazer101 (talk) 17:13, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Wouldn't it be better to leave Dexerto as a red link if there's a draft? Otherwise, moving the draft to the correct title would be more complicated. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 18:55, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Trailblazer101, my issue is that the redirect, while cheap, isn't actually accurate, and attaches more importance to the Lewis-Dexerto relationship than is true. If there were another target, I'd entirely support retargeting instead. Alyo (chat·edits) 19:50, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Soft delete: I only suggest deleting redirects if I believe the redirect will cause more confusion than the value it brings. It seems clear to me Lewis is not the proper page to redirect to, it has only been chosen because there is no better article (e.g. a founder or parent company).Mokadoshi (talk) 17:48, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Delete It's not notable, not everything requires a redirect. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:06, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- Delete – Dexerto may frequently be used as a citation on Wikipedia, and users may click that wikilink to find out more about the publication. Getting directed to a journalist with only limited involvement in the publication (and thus, source article) would be very confusing within that context. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 09:55, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - I was looking to create an article about Dexerto/expanding Draft:Dexerto, a well-known publication. Makes 0 sense to be directed to a journalist.

- Lati@s → List of generation III Pokémon#Latias (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Unlikely search term. From some searching, it seems like it may be based on a meme about Latios and Latias, each one having a different gender, and "Lati@s" apparently being a play on that. Even if that weren't the case, I'd nominate this as a l33tspeak redirect that's unehlpful. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:21, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- it's mostly used in forums like gamefaqs to refer to them. otherwise, most people refer to them as the "eon duo" or forget that latias exists. support deletion cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 16:40, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- I created it because it's a common nickname used by fans to refer to Latios and Latias collectively. Put me down for keep. Raymond1922 (talk) 18:47, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Raymond1922A: Then it becomes an issue of if there are multiple relevant targets, which one should be targeted? Hey man im josh (talk) 20:33, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

If the "@" sign is used to signify both an "a" and an "o", that seems to be an intentional stylistic decision that still indicates the subject, which wouldn't conflict with anything as being the only subject on Wikipedia titled "Latias". But this time, it has the benefit of signifying "Latias and Latios", which might be sought by readers in this way. Basically what Raymond said; this is a method of specifying the subject in a possibly reasonable way, all while being more likely than something like "Celebi: The Legendary Pokemon" which is highly unlikely to be formatted as such. Unlike that, this is just a difference in a character, from an a to an @. Utopes (talk / cont) 03:48, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep – Apparently a search term used by some groups. Latios and Latias shows precedent of redirect the duo to Latias, which seems fine to me. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 09:50, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. Not a problematic WP:XY redirect, as the target is "a location in which both topics are discussed." Redirecting to Latias makes sense because it precedes Latios in the list. PleaseStand (talk) 11:49, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

- Keep. Google results tell me that this was Al Qaida's name for what became known as the September 11 attacks (or possibly just the New York part, that's not immediately clear). It is also (in) the title of several works about the event. Thryduulf (talk) 16:22, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Not a series of airstrikes. GabrielPenn4223 (talk) 16:03, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- According to the airstrike article, an airstrike is "an offensive operation carried out by aircraft". That definition seems to apply here as well, so keep. Utopes (talk / cont) 20:58, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

- Terrorist attacks on New York, WA, and Pennsylvania → September 11 attacks (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Pointless and confusable due to two reasons: A. PA was not an intended target and Flight 93 crashed there. and B. WA can also refer to the state. GabrielPenn4223 (talk) 15:57, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- It's unlikely to switch using the full names, to the abbreviation for Washington, back to the full name for Pennsylvania. If created today it might be actionable. However, this redirect has existed since 2006, is typo-free, doesn't conflict with anything, and still is clear in its target. Weak Keep, probably, isn't doing much harm, unless there was another terrorist attack on those three places. Utopes (talk / cont) 21:06, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Delete as implausible. As Utopes says above, it is very unlikely that anyone would search for the full state name, an abbreviation, and a full state name. But more to the point, it wasn't Washington state that was targeted, it was DC (or to be more precise, Virginia). I would agree with Utopes if the abbreviation were VA or DC, but it isn't. WA is unambiguously the state abbreviation of the Pacific Northwest state, and is clearly incorrect, as opposed to the redirect Terrorist attacks on New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania, which is plausible as "Washington" is ambiguous. – Epicgenius (talk) 19:35, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per Epicgenius because WA is
clearly incorrect

While the attacks DID happen in New York, it is not a common name or search term, so I suggest Delete. GabrielPenn4223 (talk) 15:50, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. Plausible search term, and the September 11 attacks are the only attacks in New York (city or state) in that year we have an article about. Thryduulf (talk) 16:25, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

- Keep: Appears to be a possible and relevant search term based on some Googling. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:24, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- "temporal" is dialga's category. literally every pokémon has one, and some share their categoies. as an example, the bulbasaur line and sunkern are all known as the "seed pokémon". it's as minor as a game mechanic can get, so i believe it can be deleted as fancruft cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 16:39, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

- for the three redirects we currently have, for the possibility of making more, or for a theoretical article about shiny pokémon?
- because if shiny pokémon as a concept are found to be notable enough to warrant more than a paragraph in the gameplay article, then there could be some more redirects, though that case... isn't entirely impossible, now that i think about it

Keep: Based on some Googling, it appears to be an alternative name for Regigas.

- Comment: "GENWUN" sounds like "Gen one", as in "generation 1". The target seems intentional, but is it helpful/likely? Steel1943 (talk) 23:48, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Steel1943, per https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/genwunner it probably is. See also wikt:genwunner. This seems like the correct target, and alternate capitalization is not a reason to delete a redirect. WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:26, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
- (re Steel at first, later turns into re:Waid from wiktionary) Yes, under the GENWUN RfD I mentioned that "genwun" was the phonetic spelling of "gen 1", also alongside the Know Your Meme page, although I probably should've highlighted this here as well. The current target is definitely intentional due to "genwunner" being a Pokemon meme associated with Pokemon's first gen. At the end of the day though, this meme is not covered, or even acknowledged, anywhere on Wikipedia (between both "genwun" and "genwunner"). There's no on-Wikipedia-justification for targeting a meme-word meaning: "Someone who likes only the first generation of the Pokémon franchise", to the respective list of Pokemon from that generation, and would leave readers that use this term confused without a mention of what they were looking for. I'm shocked to learn that there's a wiktionary page for this made-up slang, but pointing it as a soft redirect to Wikt:genwunner is far better than the status quo.

- from my snooping around, pidgey, pikachu, and dialga are the only pokémon with "shiny" redirects (and pikachu's doesn't even link to its article or the list of gen 1 pokémon), shininess is a really minor mechanic in mainline pokémon (to the point of shiny pokémon not being mentioned once in the lists of pokémon, and only in one paragraph plus a line in the gameplay article), and on a less formal note, absolutely no one cares about shiny pidgey and dialga

- Delete, we have no information on Shiny Pidgey. Can confirm that Dialga, Pikachu, and Pidgey are the only shiny Pokemon redirects currently in existence. Because these are not 1:1 alternate names for the targets, people using the "shiny" qualifier would almost certainly be looking for information on the Shiny variant, which is a topic not covered on Wikipedia.

That, and if it's notable, someone who knows how Wikipedia works will eventually try to revive an article again at this title. Either way, per the edit history, the multiple WP:BLARs happened almost instantaneously after the content was created (1st BLAR occurred a week after the article was created in 2016, and the 2nd BLAR happened a day after content was reestablished in he middle of 2021), so I rarely say this but ... I think AFD in this case would be a time waster. This redirect has been a redirect consistently for about 2.5 years now, and before that it was a redirect for about 4.5 years ...

- Jewish Nazis → Association of German National Jews (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I can see the rationale used when targeting this page to its target, but I'm not sure if this is useful and/or helpful. The target does not describe the members as "Jewish Nazis" verbatim, which leads me to believe that further eyes on this redirect may be warranted. Utopes (talk / cont) 06:32, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment this is a term that gets lots of hits in a variety of reliable (and unreliable) sources, but it isn't consistently used to refer to a single topic. Referents include various WWII-era pro-Nazi Jewish people/organisations/ideologies, Jewish people/organisations that collaborated with Nazi Germany (not necessarily voluntarily), Jewish people that espoused/practised ideologies similar to WWII-era Nazis post-WWII (e.g. in Apartheid South Africa), Jewish people/organisations that espouse/practice behaviour towards (especially) Palestinians that is/are/are alleged to be comparable to the way people/organisations in Nazi Germany acted towards Jews, and in relation to conspiracy theories about Jews (I haven't looked to see if this is just an epithet, an analogy, literal accusation or a mixture). So in summary, I think the current target is not wrong per se, but too narrow, and there probably should be something at this title although I'm unsure if that's an article, a broad concept or a set index.

- Ubiquitous → Ubiquitous (adverb or adjective) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Hi, the page was originally targeted towards Omnipresence.
Ubiquitous (adjective) was created by Starlighsky as they wanted it to explain the dictionary definition. (WP:NOT issues) They'd probably would like a redirect to Wikitionary instead.
It could also redirect to Ubiquity or serve as its own disambig ([1]) Justiyaya 11:57, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- I want to explain the details of the issue: Ubiquitous is used in medical and computer science terminology for "that which seems to be everywhere", however ubiquitous was redirecting to omnipresence. An new article had been created to solve the problem, ubiquitous (adjective) but adjective had been added because ubiquitous was already taken as an article.Starlighsky (talk) 20:59, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Stalighsky

- Redirect to Omnipresence as the only page that mentions the term. InfiniteNexus (talk) 01:55, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- Retarget to Ubiquity, a reasonable dab page, assuming the likely delete outcome at the associated AFD. What a mess. Alternatively, deletion would be reasonable too. Wiktionary redirects are harmful, as they get in the way of the normal search feature, and redundant, since the normal search feature always includes a prominent link to the Wikt entry when there is one, anyway. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 16:04, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- I think targeting Ubiquity would be odd and a borderline WP:ASTONISH violation, since none of the entries on that dab page are relevant to the meaning or usage of the adjective ubiquitous. The only thing relevant on that page is the link to Wiktionary's ubiquity page, which is less informative than a direct link to its ubiquitous page would be. Deor (talk) 00:02, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was no consensus. There's no consensus to delete; while delete !voters argued that this incomplete term could refer to any number of 2024 things in the Republican Party, and search results would do best, while keep !voters argued that searches for this term mostly returned results about the primaries, making it a plausible redirect. There was some support for retargeting, however not enough to form a consensus to retarget. (non-admin closure) Queen of Hearts she/theytalk/stalk 15:49, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- 2024 GOP → 2024 Republican Party presidential primaries (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Lots of things are happening in the Republican Party in 2024, not just the primaries. If I had to pick a target it would be History of the Republican Party (United States) § The Biden years: 2021–present, but I don't really think this is a plausible search term. So, delete. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe) 03:13, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Couldn't disagree more. Make a Google search using the terms "2024 GOP." It's nothing but articles discussing the primaries. As plausible as it gets. That's why I even added the redirect. TheCelebrinator (talk) 05:09, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Keep as seems to point to the right target, seems plausible enough. Alextejthompson (Ping me or leave a message on my talk page) 10:16, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Keep try typing it into google and see what comes up. Scu ba (talk) 19:51, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- Google and Wikipedia handle searches differently. Google is trying to find webpages (particularly recent ones) most associated with the words you search. For "2024 GOP", sure, that's the 2024 GOP primaries. That doesn't mean that, for Wikipedia's purposes, "2024 GOP" is a term used to refer to the GOP primaries. What we care about is search terms that could plausibly refer to the article's subject or to a concept discussed in an article. Unlike Google, we don't give someone a results list when there's a redirect; we confidently tell them, "This is what you meant". And we can't confidently assert that here, because "2024 GOP" already means something else: the Republican Party as exists in 2024 (as in "the 2024 GOP cares a lot about immigration"). It does not mean, and has never meant, the 2024 Republican primaries. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe) 20:22, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per TheCelebrinator and Alextejithompson. It's clear that the primary topic for people using this search term is the 2024 GOP primaries, it's also clear that it is a plausible search term. Thryduulf (talk) 21:24, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Thryduulf: Can you point to any sources actually using this term to refer to the primaries themselves? This isn't something like Euro 2024 that's a common shortening of a longer name. It's just the first two words of 2024 GOP primaries, which is why it comes up in search results. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe) 23:04, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- As this is not a request to move the page to that title, that isn't relevant. There are only two questions that are relevant: 1. is this a plausible search term, and 2. if so, what is the best target for a redirect from this title. The answer to question 1 is "yes" - we have evidence above to that effect. The answer to 2 is unquestionably the current target. Thryduulf (talk) 00:38, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Of course it's relevant, Thryduulf. We do not keep redirects that are just an arbitrary fragment of a name for something, simply because Google associates that fragment with its whole. Would we redirect 2024 Summer to 2024 Summer Olympics? Most Google results for it are about just that. 96th Academy to 96th Academy Awards? Same thing there. If no sources refer to the primaries as "2024 GOP", then that is not just relevant here, it is the only thing that is relevant here. So again, I ask that someone show sources that anyone other than TheCelebrinator uses this term this way. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe) 02:27, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Indeed we don't keep arbitrary fragments when they aren't useful and/or don't have a single clear target. e.g. the first page of Google hits for "2024 summer" is dominated by results for summer holidays (a mix of ideas and people wanting me to buy a holiday from them) but also includes the Olympics, Paralympics and fashion trends. While "96th Academy" does have a primary topic (in the Oscars) it's not a plausible search term imo as it lacks any nouns (although if anyone presents data to contradict this I'll be happy to change my mind). We have actual evidence above that people regard "2024 GOP" as a useful search term, and no evidence of harm so WP:WR#KEEP point 5 applies. Thryduulf (talk) 11:07, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- From my geolocation, at least, the incognito Google results for "2024 Summer" are almost entirely about the Olympics. And no, we don't have evidence that people find it a useful search term. We have evidence that people Googled it and that Google took them to pages about this topic. No one here has actually said that this is something that they or anyone they know would ever expect to redirect to the current target. Because it isn't. It's nonsensical. It makes as much sense as targeting October 2022 Conservative Party to October 2022 Conservative Party leadership election. As to evidence of harm? Sure. Yet again, this literally means something else. It's just that it's a fragment of a more common phrase so it doesn't come up as high in search results... much as the primary meaning of "2024 Summer" is the summer of 2024, even if Google thinks it's the Olympics. Here is an RS opinion article using "2024 GOP" to refer to the Republican Party in 2024. Here it was used in the pre-clickthrough headline for this RS article. Here [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] is usage by various bloggers or commenters. Meanwhile we're still at 0 sources using the term to refer to the Republican primaries, and I have not found any such sources, reliable or otherwise, in my research. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe) 18:07, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris talk! 20:03, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per Tamzin. This seems like an inapt redirect, namely because the "2024 GOP" simply is the Republican Party itself, rather than a mere series of presidential primaries. I would prefer a target of History of the Republican Party (United States)#The Biden years: 2021–present over the current target if kept, also per Tamzin. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 01:25, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom, who has shown convincing evidence that "2024 GOP" does not exclusively refer to the presidential primaries. The suggested alternative target does not seem particularly useful to me, but I could weakly accept it as an ATD. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 14:33, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. Seems like a case where it's better to let the reader look at the search results themselves, instead of us trying to guess what they're looking for. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 04:15, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose status quo (current target). Honestly, I'd expect this to point to Republican Party (United States)#Trump era (2016–present). Not sure what the best target may or may not be, but where it currently targets is lacking (perhaps even surprising). Also, wikipedia is not a search engine; it makes sense that such sites would pull information up related to the primaries first given current news cycles (but that doesn't make it the primary topic for our purposes, at least certainly not with an eye to the near and especially distant future). — Godsy (TALKCONT) 22:50, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

- Delete per nom - not a plausible search term as being incomplete. We may have a 2024 GOP debates redirect though, similar to 2016 GOP debates and 2012 GOP debates. We already have 2024 GOP primaries. Jay 💬 16:19, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

- Retarget to 2024 Republican National Convention. We're probably heading for no consensus anyway, but I think this is the single event most likely to be referred to this way in the long term. I really don't like interpreting this as "State of the Republican Party in 2024" because of how squishy that is and how many potential targets there are. If I must choose between a straight keep or delete, I'd say keep. --BDD (talk) 18:39, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per Godsy and Tamzin. The keep argument reasoning smacks of WP:RECENTISM: the primaries the GOP news of this minute, but are unlikely to be the primary topic long term. signed, Rosguill talk 05:14, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- RECENTISM is about article content. Redirects should take people to the content they are looking for now, and can and should change if the primary topic does. Thryduulf (talk) 11:39, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- Weak Keep. As GOP is a redirect to the Republican Party, I think it is plausible that "2024 GOP" would infer the "state of the Republican Party [GOP] in 2024". While that's a pretty broad topic with a lot of options, I feel the primaries (or the National Convention) are the articles that best exemplify the GOP in 2024. The primaries moreso than the convention, as this is more encompassing and specifically related to the 2024 election year as a whole beyond a single event. Utopes (talk / cont) 05:58, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per Tamzin and Godsy. The Republican Party in 2024 is much broader than the presidential primaries (lots going on in the 118th United States Congress, plenty of non-presidential elections, etc.). If I had to pick a target, I don't think we can get any narrower than 2024 in the United States. -- Tavix (talk) 19:23, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Not often linked to like T:DYK or T:ITN, doesn't need an XNR. Previously nominated in a batch at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2013 November 18#T:WPTECH and closed as no consensus, every single redirect there has been deleted in later separate noms except this one.

- There's also T:ONES and T:SINGLE, but I agree to delete this. Utopes (talk / cont) 04:52, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. This is one of the methods I use to reach the target. Links are not the only metric by which the utility of redirects can be measured. Thryduulf (talk) 12:50, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per editor Thryduulf. This type of CNR is grandfathered in. It falls within the Wikipedia:Redirects#Reasons for not deleting guideline, especially reason #5. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 20:19, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- I mean, the fact that I stumbled across this RfD from trying to use the redirect myself means at least one person is finding it useful. 2603:8001:4542:28FB:109F:13A1:7975:DA76 (talk) 22:29, 11 February 2024 (UTC) (Send talk messages here instead)

Title was moved from another title seemingly created by mistake. Deauthorized. (talk) 02:59, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Note: one link to Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by nationality/United Kingdom would need to be fixed. I would do it myself but my tab keeps freezing when I try to edit the page. Deauthorized. (talk) 03:03, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
