Delete per
WP:XY. Is this meant to refer to the language spoken in the land of the Bengali, or to the land where the Bengali language is spoken? Both are implausible, anyway.
Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:32, 4 April 2024 (UTC)reply
Delete. This would be a plausible search term if it was the literal meaning of "Bangladesh" but according to
Bangladesh#Etymology the country name means "Land of Bengal" or "Country of Bengal".
Names of Bengal#Terminology in detail gives the meaning of "Bangladesh" as "Bengali country", which is closer but per the rest of that section not "Land of Bengali language".

Delete since the language is not exclusive to the target, though the language may have originated at the target.

Brenda from Bristol is a woman who is the star of a viral video and subsequent meme ("You're joking, not another one") related to the 2017 UK general election
[1] but there is no mention of her in the article, nor was there when the redirect was created in September 2020 (WikiBlame isn't working so I don't know if she or the video/meme has ever been mentioned) so the redirect is unhelpful. I've not found any mention elsewhere.

Superdome (Stadium)
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. Per
WP:TRAINWRECK, there were basically two different discussions taking place that left editors at a fundamental divide, re: the necessity of a capitalized "Stadium" redirect. Despite this, there was general consensus that if a target were to exist, it would go to the disambig page for
Superdome, which contains a number of titles that can reasonably be interpreted as "stadiums".
(non-admin closure)Utopes(talk / cont) 23:57, 10 April 2024 (UTC)reply
I believe this to be an ambiguous term and, as such, it should be redirected to
Superdome, where there are four stadiums that go by/have gone by this name. Bringing this here due to a dispute on the target with
Abhiramakella.
Hey man im josh (

Delete the correct title
Superdome (stadium) already redirects to the DAB since "stadium" isn't a proper noun its arguably an
WP:RDAB redirect. Crouch, Swale (
talk) 19:04, 6 March 2024 (UTC)reply
The usage of "[Ss]tadium" in the disambiguator is not a proper noun. In other words, the subject at
Stadium (capitalized in Wikipedia because the first letter of a title always needs to be capitalized), the subject referenced in the disambiguator, is not a proper noun.
Steel1943 (

Retarget per nom. The capitalisation of the disambiguator does not magically make this somehow implausible.

Keep as per Abhiramakella. While 'stadium' is not, in fact, a proper noun, Abhiramakella is correct in that the Caesars Superdome is the only stadium we have information on that is referred to by the moniker "Superdome". While it is true that 'arena' and 'stadium' are often used as synonyms, technically, a stadium is open to the sky, while an arena has a roof.

This in no way addresses why you capitalized the disambiguator unnecessarily, and then apparently created the redirect with proper disambiguation capitalization, Superdome (stadium), about a month later.
Steel1943 (

Capitalization errors happen often. Just because a page name has an incorrect way of capitalization does not mean that it should not be redirected to a page.
Abhiramakella (
talk) 17:30, 7 March 2024 (UTC)reply
Our search function automagically detects capitalization differences, and without this redirect, the search function would treat a query for "Superdome (Stadium)" as if it were a query for "Superdome (stadium)" and redirect appropriately.
Lunamann 🌙🌙🌙 The Moooooooniest (
talk) 17:50, 7 March 2024 (UTC)reply
Using incorrect subject capitalization on disambiguators can be problematic, considering that means the incorrectly-capitalized title can be linked (which is bad in the case of disambiguators since it doesn't hint to the editor that a correction needs to be made to the title), and it can obscure other functionalities in Wikipedia, such as assessing page views of a redirects' usage. I think
Lunamann hit the nail on the head there: typing a differently-capitalized title in the search function will result in going to the closest capitalization match, which would be "Superdome (stadium)" if the nominated redirect is deleted and can validate deleting the nominated redirect over keeping it, considering all else I have stated. (Not sure if this is enough for me to advocate changing
WP:RDAB to accommodate this, but it sure is leading me that direction.)
Steel1943 (
talk) 22:12, 7 March 2024 (UTC)reply
I think with the exception of the fact redirects not including the word "disambiguation" in the title don't interfere with disambiguation link fixes the same principals apply. In the case of
Ø (Disambiguation) the title is a name not a qualifier so RDAB wouldn't apply even if it was a redirect to an article.
501(c)(3) is an example or what would not be an RDAB redirect. Crouch, Swale (
talk) 22:27, 7 March 2024 (UTC)reply
@
Steel1943 and
Lunamann:Our search function automagically detects capitalization differences this is only true for some methods of finding Wikipedia content and cannot be relied on. The points about making it harder to use some tools are irrelevant - firstly we should always prioritise readers over editors and that means we fix our tools to work with the encyclopaedia rather than "fixing" the encyclopaedia (usually when it's not actually broken) to work with our tools; secondly if it were relevant it would be a reason to delete every redirect that differs only in capitalisation. When plausible miscapitalisations occur outside parentheses we keep the redirect because we recognise how valuable they are to readers, when plausible miscapitalisations occur inside parentheses we should do the same because they are equally valuable to readers.
Thryduulf (
talk) 01:26, 8 March 2024 (UTC)reply
Because readers are unlikely to look for a title with incorrect capitalizations. Readers qualifying titles like Wikipedia will expect them to be the way we correctly title things.
WP:UNNATURAL notes i.e. an error specific to Wikipedia titling conventions that would likely not be arrived at naturally by readers, thereby adding to the implausibility. Crouch, Swale (
talk) 19:30, 8 March 2024 (UTC)reply
Readers do look for titles with incorrect capitalisations - that's why we have
Category:Redirects from miscapitalizations and nobody has ever provided any evidence that they distinguish between words inside and outside of parentheses. The fact that these redirects keep getting created is yet more evidence that people do arrive here naturally and so do benefit from their existence. Also note that what you quote is referring to things like missing parentheses not capitalisation.

I think the point is that there is a limit to redirects being cheap and creating them for incorrectly capitalized qualifiers crosses the line of not being useful while creating clutter since deleting them enables search to correct the capitalization and keeping/maintaining such redirects though not particularly costly is reduced by not having such redirects.

Hey man im josh: While the nomination was about ambiguity, and not capitalization, and the discussion turned towards the capitalization nuances, the redirect creator went ahead and changed the target of the lowercase

Retarget both to the DAB as a {{
R from incomplete disambiguation}}. As noted above,
Arena vs
Stadium is a distinction without a difference, especially here, given the difference-maker I've seen cited is does it have a roof or not, and... all of the buildings under the "Superdome" moniker that we have information on, seem to have an eponymous dome-shaped roof.I would like anyone challenging this idea to please, for the love of all that is holy, tell me the difference between an arena and a stadium.

Steel1943 (

I understand your stance is different, but I fundamentally disagree with it. It is harmful to readers (and thus harmful to the encyclopaedia) to be left with search results (or sometimes be several clicks away from search results) that may or may not include the article they are looking for than to be taken directly to the content they want to read, which informs them that it is no longer upcoming. The sole purpose of redirects is to help readers, and we should not be deleting them until it is clear they have stopped helping people. How you can look at empirical evidence of a redirect helping multiple people almost every day and declare it appropriate to delete is both incomprehensible and offensive.

Keep? This is one of those "people might not know the title of the song, but they remember the chorus" songs, partially because it's a song whose title never shows up in the lyrics. Given the second half of the chorus line ("rat in a cage") DOES show up naturally in the article, I can see the article being rewritten to fit the full line in ("Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage"). In addition, starting the search with "Despite all my rage..." would arguably be more plausible of a search than simply searching for the ending four words of the line (..."rat in a cage").
