L̃ → Tilde (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

(NPP action) This is not actually an {{r from Unicode character}} – it consists of the two characters U+004C L LATIN CAPITAL LETTER L and U+0303 ◌̃ COMBINING TILDE. This particular combination is not described at the target; Tilde § Letters with tilde says that these combinations may not have any real-world application and therefore are not included there. It is described at wikt:L̃ as a letter of the Cahuilla alphabet. Our section Cahuilla language § Writing systems lists l̃, so it might be a good target for this redirect. However, the lowercase wikt:l̃ § Translingual gives another meaning in phonetics: Transcription in the Spanish tradition for [ʎ]. (Note that unlike Wiktionary, Wikipedia is case-insensitive for the first character in a title, so the redirect under discussion represents both the lowercase and uppercase characters.) If the character has multiple uses, it might be better to make it a {{Wiktionary redirect}}. jlwoodwa (talk) 19:01, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Justlettersandnumbers: couldn't you reopen this? I think this redirect should exist (not necessarily under this target). Web-julio (talk) 16:35, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned in target. QuicoleJR (talk) 18:57, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note this is a "side character" in Heaven Burns Red. [1] If we had a List of Characters section, it would be an unambiguous Keep. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 18:38, 22 November 2024 (UTC).[reply]
We don't currently have a section like that in this article. QuicoleJR (talk) 23:30, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Let me express myself more explicitly. If anyone reading this has sufficient motivation and time to create such a section, the redirect could link there and it would then be an unambiguous Keep. Readers of my comment may or may not think this is a good thing, I have not attempted to influence that, for fear that someone puts effort into it and then someone else deletes their hard work it as fancruft, as Wikipedia editors often like to. It is unlikely but not impossible that I may create myself: if it was likely I would not have left the message.

The phrase "If we had" rather than "If we have" shows that I know "We don't currently have a section like that in this article."

Xxps → XXP (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Delete target is a TV station, and does not mention "xxps". The redirect was requested with out a proper rationale [2] and accepted [3] ; it was requested with a bunch of plural-form redirect requests, so the acceptor might have missed that. Thus this redirect is useless as the target does not use the term "Xxps" and it is unrelated to the target article -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 18:29, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unlikely search term or typo. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:53, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unlikely...and yet, read it and weep. Still though, unless there's any information about this gaffe specifically, the redirect shouldn't exist. I thought it was just a silly pejorative nickname at first, but if I were going to search for this, I'd expect information about the gaffe, not the city. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 18:06, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And on a second glance, I don't see anything else about it, which kind of makes me question the accuracy of this. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 18:19, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I have read it and I have wept, it was my understanding that it's a somewhat common mistake, and curious individuals might go searching for whatever a "Hestinki" is, so I figured it was better off existing that not. Caucasianhamburger (talk) 18:28, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I also believe that it is one of the more common pejorative names in English for Helsinki, though admittedly most English speakers don't have a bone to pick with Helsinki, so it doesn't see much common use.Caucasianhamburger (talk) 18:42, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

one letter short of being a recreation of helstinky. so close!!

delete. it's really not gonna help people unless they specifically only know about other parts of the world from donald trump (or someone else who might have made this mistake), and at this point, it's easier to just call it a skill issue, as the incident isn't mentioned in either article (or anywhere for that matter) cogsan _{(nag me) (stalk me)} 20:59, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support to disambiguate: Using just the descriptive word as shorthand is common practice in anatomical terminology and in this context could stand for any of the three structures.YuniToumei (talk) 08:27, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and use a hatnote (or add the other articles to See also). See wikt:cricoarytenoid#Noun. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 21:25, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguate. No evidence provided by nom or supporter that the muscle is the primary topic (@YuniToumei:, all three meanings "anatomical terminology"?). And Shhhnotsoloud's wikt link appears to list another meaning if one looks beyond the noun—even other than the proposed DAB entries here—so that supports DAB rather than keeping the muscle as the primary. DMacks (talk) 11:43, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DMacks Thanks for the reply :) Yes, all three meanings are anatomical terminology and thus qualify for a DAB. I also support the disambiguation and the "support" was meant in reference to the relisting comments question on consensus to DAB. Should've probably used more clear wording.

As I understand the nom, that is the exact reason too why they nominated this redirect for discussion (that right now only links to the muscle, they propose it should go to a set index article instead.) YuniToumei (talk) 12:09, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The term is explained in the lead, and this is an {{R with history}}. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 15:59, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to Glossary of blogging#Fisking per anon. This looks like a better place where the term is explained, although I still think the mention in the article is worth keeping. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 17:41, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The current mention is one line of unsourced material with no context, stuck into the lead simply because the redirect existed. That should probably be removed as-is, rendering the redirect worthy of deletion (at least at AFD if someone is nervous about the history). I can find the occasional source devoting a sentence or two to the origin of the term, but nothing that goes beyond a dictionary-level treatment. If someone can do better and work this into an actual section of Fisk's article, then a redirect can always be recreated, but there doesn't seem to be much in the history of use here; it wades very heavily into WP:OR territory, and any mention in the biography is probably undue. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 16:27, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to Fisk, which links to Wiktionary defining it as a verb and mentioning this word specifically. Web-julio (talk) 17:19, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are no matches on the dab page, so a redirect there would be inappropriate. ~~And Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a dictionary.~~ (edit: but we do have some glossaries, which I just found). 35.139.154.158 (talk) 17:23, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to Glossary of blogging#Fisking (to which I've just added an anchor), as a pretty reasonable spot that it can live. I still support the removal at Fisk's bio unless it can be done so properly though. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 17:35, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Glossary of blogging#Fisking, as the best target for a direct search, but I note that target also wikilinks fisking, so that should be piped to Robert Fisk to avoid a self targeting link. Fieari (talk) 23:50, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Web interfaces

The result of the discussion was retarget to User interface#Web interface which is the target of web interface. The suggestion to retarget to Web API was invalid as it was an editor evading a block; otherwise this target had consensus but would have created a double redirect, so I have bypassed it. However I'm also going to point out that this situation really just creates a two-click manual redirect to web application, and perhaps that should be discussed at article talk.

Speedy retarget to Web interface, completely valid {{R from plural}}. mwwv ^converse∫_edits 14:31, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was tempted to speedy close this to match Web interface but that is a redirect to User interface#Web interface. Of course that could be a fine retarget and then tag Web interfaces as R from plural and {{R from avoided double redirect}}. However, I noticed that there is also {{Web interfaces}}, which has Web API as it's "primary" article. Given that is a full article, I'll suggest retargeting both Web interface and Web interfaces to Web API and add a redirects here hat note there mentioning/linking to User interface, something like: "Web interface" redirects here. For the user interfaces, see User interface and Web application. (since Web application also has some bits about the interface. It does seem like our coverage of web-based interfaces seem incomplete.) Skynxnex (talk) 16:19, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I found a mention of this here: [4] on page 99, where it says a Cute Number was defined in a problem by the "Australian Mathematics Trust" in 2001, in the book "Mathematics Challenge for Young Australians: Teacher's reference book for primary, junior & intermediate maths challenge stages" from the University of Canberra. This means that the term "cute number" does appear in two published works. It is defined ad hoc as part of a particular math problem and that definition is in fact adequately described and defined at the current target, exactly as it appears there, and so as a direct synonym, you could say keep. But then I come back to the fact that this is an ad hoc definition for a puzzle, and I'm not sure it was intended to be an enduring name for this type of number, even by the puzzle creators. But then I go back to the fact that it appears in at least two published works. And students who were given this problem might remember it distantly and want to look it up again from what they remember. While I was writing this reply, I was originally waffling too much between keep and delete, unable to decide, but I think I've now talked myself into thinking it's best to just keep it.

Delete - digging into the former article's history, our definition of a cute number was cited to David J. Darling's Encyclopedia of Science website; the page it appeared on is now gone but is archived here; a definition also can be found in a glossary on Darling's website here. The initial revision also provided links to [5] [6] [7], of which the second two are now offline but the first is up (and also cites Darling's website). I don't know if Darling can be considered an expert source per WP:SELFPUB, but since there don't seem to be any other sources for this definition (other than the one Fieari found, which also traces back to Darling), I think probably not. A deletion discussion from 2012 merged the content into the current article, but David Eppstein also noted in that discussion that this number sequence is not in OEIS, and its absence is a strong indicator of non-notability. Anyway, "cute number" seems to be a non-notable neologism and should be deleted. I'm not even sure we should keep the definition at the target: it makes no effort to provide context or explain why such a number is important, and as another comment in the article history notes: by definition, every integer greater than 5 is a cute number, so it's not exactly useful. That statement was cited to the same site as the two offline links above so I can't verify, and a comment from the AFD notes that that website was a webforum and not RS anyway.

Also the original page is a copyvio: the entire history will need to be purged if the page is not deleted. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 16:03, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict)Delete. This doesn't appear to be any sort of standard term, and the result, even if true and worth stating, is worth stating without attaching a name to it, since there's no interest in this as a sequence of numbers, but merely as a result about square subdivision (being true for every number at least 5). And I'm dubious that any proper sourcing could be found either. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 16:09, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Name not mentioned at target (and doesn't deserve to be mentioned) so we should not have a redirect that will only mystify people who follow it. This is the sort of nonce name people posing problem sets give so that the things in their problems will have names; we need more evidence than that of the name's continued usage to justify mentioning it and using it ourselves. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:46, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments Appears to be a common refrain posted on gulags. The first thing a prisoner would have seen on their arrival at Vorkuta was a sign that said: “Work in the USSR Is a Matter of Honor and Glory.”[8], The emphasis is on the victims of the Gulag; the authors of the exhibition give a clear answer to the sacrosanct question, "To what deity were these sacrifices made?": No deity was involved. In some cases, a large ceremonial portrait of Stalin—the system's main demiurge— appears above the photographs of construction sites and camps. One characteristic example is the Museum of Military and Labor Glory (Taiga, Kemerovo). The exhibition "Rehabilitation" occupies a separate hall: in the "red corner" (traditionally used for icons) hangs a ceremonial portrait of Stalin decorated with barbed wire next to the slogan "For us, work is an HONOR, a deed of valor and heroism."

This is a cluster of redirects, mostly resulting from successive moves, that all once linked to the article Christmas in the United States (1946–1964). That article was wiped and replaced with a redirect to the generic Christmas article in 2023- but the Christmas article doesn't have text specifically about mid-20th-century American celebrations of Christmas, and, as these terms are all much more specific than just "Christmas," they're exceedingly implausible as search terms for "Christmas" in the broadest sense. They should either be deleted or redirected to Observance of Christmas by country#United States, which is, I think, the closest match, though it also doesn't (currently) have anything specifically about "baby boom"-era Christmas customs.

There's a few options. We could retarget to pSivida per Michael Aurel, which is the article for Eyepoint Pharmaceuticals under a previous name. The article could use some work, and I do also think that "eypt" is a somewhat plausible typo for Egypt, so it's not the greatest idea. We could disambiguate between the two, but I also don't think a disambig page for a typo, a stock ticker, and nothing else is advisable. Are there redirect-specific headers? Maybe we keep the current target but add a header that mentions Eyepoint? This is a big reach but I'm full of ideas I want to mention. Deleting is a clean solution if nothing else but it feels like we could be more helpful than that. I'm leaning delete just because the other answers I have are pretty borderline, but they might be worth exploring.

Redirect to pSivida and hatnote with {{Redirect-distinguish}}. If we have a valid article that is the legal successor of Eyepoint Pharmaceuticals, we should redirect it there and if the views are this high, a hatnote might be warranted. Since no other potential targets are found, this works without the need for a DAB page. -- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 03:46, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, given the page move; I also hadn't noticed this article when I left my initial comment. Other than being a possible typo for "Egypt", which, per above, I don't think is a very plausible one, I'm not seeing anything else this could refer to; every result I can see in a Google search is for the company. Pageviews indicate that this is being used, and I think it's fair to assume most searchers are looking for the company, given the typo's implausibility. I've also updated the ticker symbol in the infobox, so "EYPT" is now mentioned at the target. – Michael Aurel (talk) 09:06, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Likely misspelling with phonetic explanation. Ca ^{talk to me!} 14:46, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is absolutely no plausible phonetic explanation to this as a misspelling. It's rather a simple transposition of two letter typo. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 15:04, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as an arbitrary typo, no more deserving of a redirect than any other typo; let Mediawiki suggest possible matches rather than trying to make billions of redirects ourselves. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 15:04, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Very plausible typo. Gets extensive use, and is thus useful. IP's !vote above would imnply we rid ourselves of all typo/mispelling redirects, which would make wikipedia less useful and less easy to navigate, and is against precedent and written policy (see: WP:UNNATURAL-- "Redirects from common typos, however, are encouraged.").

Misspellings, no...typos, yes, but only if there's not some specific reason for it, like a very well known/used/attested typo. Random typos should always be deleted. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 02:57, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Sonic678.
