Ocen

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 delete. --BDD (talk) 21:02, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per ... multiple issues. For one, this could be a misspelling for other words, like Oken. Also, as a WP:FORRED issue, the subject doesn't necessarily have affinity to any language ... but also, the connection may be wrong anyways since the only connection I could find is for Polish, but if so, this redirect doesn't translate as the target subject.

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 21:03, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kind of lost here, but ... wouldn't it make more sense for these to retarget to Waterway? Steel1943 (talk) 20:41, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Waterway. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 22:45, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:XY, considering that Canal is an article and Inland waterway redirects to Navigability (though I don't understand the latter, but it doesn't redirect to Canal, thus the WP:XY.) Steel1943 (talk) 20:38, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Navigations

The result of the discussion was retarget to Navigation (disambiguation). (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 22:44, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems the current situation could be considered a bit of a WP:SURPRISE since Navigation exists. However, with that being said, I don't think the concept in Navigation is traditionally referred to in the plural form, so maybe retarget to Navigation (disambiguation) is the way to go here, but weak retarget to Navigation works too.

The result of the discussion was retarget to Reservoir. ✗plicit 23:57, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems unclearly ambiguous. "Dam" is mentioned in the target article, but it seems bodies of water that are created by building dams are reservoirs. But, the phrase "dam lake" isn't mentioned there either. Steel1943 (talk) 20:22, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Realart Pictures Corporation is also the name of a film company that produced films from 1919 to 1922 (see [1]). Maybe there's been a mix-up.--Ezzex (talk) 18:11, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Hypergiant#Red hypergiants. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 22:41, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect originally targeted hypergiant but an IP changed it to the current target a couple years ago. Both Blue hypergiant and White hypergiant target the hypergiant page. I am unsure about what the WP:PTOPIC is, meaning that disambiguation is a possible option. InterstellarGamer12321 (talk | contribs) 17:12, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It should redirect to Hypergiant#Red_hypergiants as that is the only heading on a article that talks about it PalauanReich (talk) 17:35, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Misleadint redirect. Turkish crescent is called es:Chinesco, while es:Masacalla is something similar, but different Lokys dar Vienas (talk) 04:35, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't a claim that these are the same instrument. However they are members of a family, having the same purpose (ceremonial staff and jingle). There isn't a good reason not to show one in the article about the other. Jacqke (talk) 11:53, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There are many instruments from the same family. Talk about drums and violins an accordions and whats not. These are different instruments. Period. There is no reason to propagate confusion describing them as same. Lokys dar Vienas (talk) 16:04, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The instruments both use a crescent and horsetail; they have very specific attributes in common. These symbols in common point to a historical pattern behind the instrument's existence. The symbols entered European culture from Turkish, then European to Argentinian. 1899 image of Mascalla showing the Turkish crescent and horsetails as part of it's makeup.Jacqke (talk) 03:13, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Another example File:Candombe federal, época de Rosas.jpg also shows the horsetails, common to both Mascalla and Turkish Crescent. Further the Spanish article for Mascalla contains the statement (translated), "Currently, the Afro-Porteños interviewed do not remember the massacalla, the name is foreign to them, and they even tend to confuse it with chinesco." So the chinesco and massacalla are confused even in Afro-Porteños society.Jacqke (talk) 03:30, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Th greater the reason for wikipedia not to propagate this confusion and educate people. That's the purpose of encycliopedias, isn't it? Lokys dar Vienas (talk) 16:07, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No other religions at the target. Just the target subject. (The section target doesn't exist anymore ... I'm assuming it did at one point.) Steel1943 (talk) 22:55, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"A list of" redirects

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 delete. ✗plicit 12:23, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of redirects of the "A list of" type. None are {{R from move}}s, though the Fairly OddParents and fire stations in Hong Kong are BLAR'd articles, the latter due to an error during creation. Per precedent in the discussion on "A list of Visigothic Kings", such redirects are unlikely to be helpful due to not following the standard titling standards and so are more costly than they are useful. Delete. Randi Moth TalkContribs 08:43, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Some of the nominated redirects do not have equivalents that exist where the "A" is omitted:
...If these redirects are deleted, it could be considered unhelpful unless their non-"A" equivalents exist since that is apparently the point of this nomination. Steel1943 (talk) 00:26, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The first redirect is very unplausible even without the article in the beginning.
The second redirect doesn't entirely seem to make sense. Skimming just the Demonata article, "Demonata" seems to be the name for the demons in the novel, so "List of Demonata" does make sense. However, the character table makes no distinction on what role each character plays, meaning there is no way to tell which of the characters are Demonata and which aren't. The target doesn't actually have a list of Demonata, making the redirect unhelpful.
The third redirect does seem to be plausible, and NBA teams with the longest active playoff appearance streaks already points there. Recreating the redirect without the article in the beginning while deleting the one that does contain it appears to be the most useful outcome.

The result of the discussion was disambiguate. No connection between Manir and Oxyphencyclimine was forthcoming. Jay 💬 07:47, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned in target article, leaving the connection between the redirect and the target article unclear. Steel1943 (talk) 18:58, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Disambiguate. Draft disambiguation page started on the nominated page. - Eureka Lott 23:25, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I was considering withdrawing this nomination due to that draft disambiguation page looking good. However, I did notice that the disambiguation page did not include the current target of the redirect; for that reason, I suppose I'm gonna leave this discussion and open to see if anyone can determine why the redirect currently targets what it does. Steel1943 (talk) 20:17, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The bot that made the redirect tagged it with {{R from trade name}} when creating it, so I assume the intent was to identify it as a brand name of Oxyphencyclimine. My very cursory searches didn't verify that, though, so I'd welcome input from anyone more knowledgeable. - Eureka Lott 22:54, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
