Delete It's currently linked to only 13 links; other country lists don't have "100". Catchpoke ( talk) 23:03, 27 August 2021 (UTC) reply

Being WP:POINT. Catchpoke ( talk) 23:24, 27 August 2021 (UTC) reply
  • I actually agree with Catchpoke's changes, it doesn't make much sense to link as "100" for a page that isn't actually a top 100 list. However, that's not a reason to delete the redirect; someone wanting the 100 largest metros in Canada will find it at the target. -- Tavix ( talk) 03:08, 28 August 2021 (UTC) reply
    • The move is fine. Deleting a redirection and ignore NOTBROKEN is unnecessary. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 20:33, 28 August 2021 (UTC) reply
On further inspection, WP:NOTBROKEN isn't applicable in this case since the list includes over 100 entries. Catchpoke ( talk) 20:57, 28 August 2021 (UTC) reply
And upon still further inspection, List_of_census_metropolitan_areas_and_agglomerations_in_Canada#List states "Canada had 35 CMAs and 117 CAs as of the 2016 census" so it does not include 100 entries by default. Catchpoke ( talk) 19:12, 29 August 2021 (UTC) reply

It seems that the article Doodle Champion Island Games was moved around as follows: Draft/Champion Island Games (original title) → Talk:Champion Island GamesChampion Island GamesDoodle Champion Island Games (current title). This redirect currently points to the talk namespace, which it shouldn't do. I'm unsure if "Draft/Champion Island Games" is a plausible search term for "Doodle Champion Island Games" or if "Draft/" simply is a typo for "Draft:" and that the page originally was meant to be created in the Draft namespace.

  • Delete as an inappropriate cross namespace redirect resulting from a misplaced draft. This is an extremely unlikely search term and there's no draft content left in the page history of the redirect. This should fall under speedy deletion criteria R2. 192.76.8.74 ( talk) 02:47, 28 August 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per 192. The "draft" had lasted for only 23 minutes before the creator started moving it around. Jay (Talk) 06:42, 28 August 2021 (UTC) reply

Tridentine Latin Rite Catholic Church

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 retarget to Tridentine Mass. signed, Rosguill talk 06:27, 6 September 2021 (UTC) reply

Nothing in the WP article or on the website indicates "Tridentine Latin Rite Catholic Church" is one of the names or a former name of the organisation. Therefore, "Tridentine Latin Rite Catholic Church" should be deleted. Veverve ( talk) 07:16, 11 August 2021 (UTC) reply

  • I'm a bit confused here. The target article indeed doesn't use the term, but says that the Congregation was founded by Francis Schuckardt, whose article does use the term to describe what sounds like the same organization (or a closely related one), but only mentions the Congregation once, in an image caption. Is there anyone around knowledgeable on sedevacantism / traditionalist Catholicism who can elucidate this? For now my fallback position is to retarget to the Schuckardt article. (Incidentally, that article could use some love on the NPOV front. I'll try to take a swing at it presently.) -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she/they) 14:48, 14 August 2021 (UTC) reply

    Retarget per Ivan. Jay (Talk) 06:27, 28 August 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Retarget to Tridentine Mass. The article explains that the Tridentine Mass is the traditional mass of the Catholic Church under the Roman Rite (a.k.a. Latin Rite), which was the most common mass from the 16th century up to the 1960s, when mass was always conducted in Latin. Sedevacantists view the modernist reforms of the Second Vatican Council (which include the local-language Mass of Paul VI) as heretical and consequently don't recognize the authority of popes after Pius XII (died 1958) and I suppose it may have been seen as attractive to name a sedevacantist church after the old form of mass. Since that's a very niche topic and also not actually the church's name, it's better to treat this as an odd lumbering search term and target the more generally relevant article.

Valley Girl Syndrome

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. MBisanz talk 19:08, 6 September 2021 (UTC) reply

Is this a useful redirect? The term is not mentioned at the target page, but googling suggests that it is a term that is in use, with most (but not all) of the uses referring to one or more aspects of the speech patterns described at Valley Girl#Valleyspeak (mostly the high rising terminal and/or usage of "like" as a filler word), others like [1] seem to using it to describe a focus on presentation above content. The redirect started life as a very non-neutral description attempted article about something tangentially relevant, that content very similar to the content recently deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Valley Girl Syndrome (VGS) so there are no issues with deleting article content if the conclusion here is that this is not a useful search term. Thryduulf ( talk) 09:52, 4 August 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Perhaps someone comes upon this term but doesn't even know what a Valley Girl is. Then the redirect is useful. I knew what a Valley Girl was and the first thing I thought of was Valleyspeak, which is described in the target article. So the redirect seems fine to me.

    Also per WP:RFD#D3. We shouldn't keep a redirect that ostensibly pathologizes a group of people just because it might be useful. Nardog ( talk) 08:10, 4 September 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. We usually don't keep redirects without mention, and no one's made a case for why this should be an exception. We shouldn't mislead readers into thinking we discuss a topic that we don't. -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she/they) 02:14, 25 August 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per Tamzin. A distinct way of speaking isn't necessarily a syndrome, so we shouldn't make a connection unless it's explicitly discussed as such. -- Tavix ( talk) 00:15, 26 August 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Keep per Winston and WP:R#K5, and tag with {{ R without mention}}. 57 pageviews in the last 6 years, it could be one person checking it out regularly, or several people. Multiple sources talk about the exact term "Valley Girl Syndrome". Leading readers to Valley Girl would be a good start. Jay (Talk) 19:42, 27 August 2021 (UTC) reply
    • 10 pageviews a year isn't really that much. In my opinion anything under 200 "all-time" (i.e. since 2015) can't be distinguished from background noise of crawlers, people clicking the wrong link in the search suggestions, etc. -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she/they) 19:26, 3 September 2021 (UTC) reply
      • Well, we have no benchmark. I was going through this RfD from 2018 which tried to establish the reliability of pageview stats, and while it ended openly, it did say that the activity of bots and spiders do not get into pageviews. Jay (Talk) 20:14, 3 September 2021 (UTC) reply
      • Speaking from historical experience, if you try using page views to justify keeping or deleting a redirect, you'll end up driving yourself mad with all the exceptions you would have to make. -- Tavix ( talk) 19:57, 4 September 2021 (UTC) reply

While this may indeed be the man from the meme (see [2], [3]), it is not mentioned at all at the target. Delete unless dully sourced relevant content can be added to the target. signed, Rosguill talk 18:21, 27 August 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Unsure. According to KnowYourMeme and other sites, the man in the image meme is Jeon Moo-song. However, our article on this style of meme is image macro, which also doesn't mention this particular iteration. Ivanvector's squirrel ( trees/ nuts) 18:46, 27 August 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Tiger parenting covers the general concept, and even has a section specifically on high expectations. Someone specifically looking for the meme would probably be disappointed, though. -- BDD ( talk) 20:47, 27 August 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete as neologism that isn't mentioned either in Jeon's article or the tiger parenting article. Revisit if it gets notability like Woman yelling at a cat. Similar to the phrase Asian fail AngusW🐶🐶F ( barksniff) 13:23, 28 August 2021 (UTC) reply

It seems like a poor practice to redirect the names of two relatives (in this case, a father and son) to a disambiguation page that happens to be their common surname. I would either delete this or (as a distant second chice) point it to whichever of the two was the more significant figure, for context. BD2412 T 14:40, 27 August 2021 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was retarget to Acting president. Not much of a consensus among the various redirect options, but after two relists I'm calling this in favor of the vote front runner given that no one appears to prefer the status quo. signed, Rosguill talk 06:26, 6 September 2021 (UTC) reply

This could just as easily refer to an interim president of a corporation rather than a country, in which case the desired target would be interim management. Rather than having to add a hatnote at interim president, I think it'd just be better to delete the redirect. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 22:16, 7 August 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per nom. As far as I know, no presidential democracy has a provision for the appointment of a temporary leader by any name. Either there is a succession process whereby the next candidate in line immediately becomes president (the United States), or the duties of the head of government are carried out by a deputy or vice-president and the position remnains vacant until a new election is held (e.g. Westminster democracies). Delete in favour of search results. Ivanvector's squirrel ( trees/ nuts) 00:19, 17 August 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Retarget to Interim (disambiguation) which has entries for both Interim government and Interim management. Jay (Talk) 04:30, 17 August 2021 (UTC) reply
    Also Oppose retarget to acting president as that DAB is specific to country presidents, and not inclusive of corporations or organizations, which is the premise of this nomination. Jay (Talk) 09:16, 17 August 2021 (UTC) reply
    Seems to me it would be better to redirect to interim management with a hatnote to provisional government (the target of interim government), per my comment above that no governments exist that appoint an interim president by name (while almost all corporations do), but that doesn't mean a reader wouldn't search for an article on the concept.
