Oppose retarget to category per
WP:CLN: Redirects of list articles to categories are highly discouraged: list articles should take the place of the redirect. There was
an AfD that resulted in merge.
It was merged in a prose format, which still exists at
Yaoi#Video games. I think that counts as a list because the paragraph does list a few significant games. Otherwise, a traditional table-style list of some yaoi video games exists at
List of yaoi anime and manga#Other media. A final option I'm open to is restoring the list. It was purged of non-notable entries during the AfD, which made it a bit short (11 entries). If we can get more sourcing for the non-notable entries, it could actually be a nice list. --

Keep - despite being incredibly offensive, the name does appear to have been used - two of the current article sources have -that word- in their titles (I will not be googling to double check). Therefore, it seems to be a possible search term.

Delete per
WP:RDELETE, point 3. Calling this "a bit odd" is an understatement. Just because some people have used this "nickname" doesn't mean Wikipedia should reproduce it. –
Scyrme (

Keep as this seems to be a name used to refer to him.
WP:RNEUTRAL applies. Also was the title of this article for a year.
A7V2 (
talk) 23:56, 22 October 2022 (UTC)reply
"Non-neutral" and "offensive" are two different matters. Regardless, the AfD moved the article because reliable sources refer to him as "Ernie". In-fact,
WP:RNEUTRAL (last paragraph) explicitly gives this as a valid reason for deleting the old title, particularly in cases of point 3 which I cited earlier. The sources cited in the article that refer to him by the previous title are a permanent dead link with no working archive (unverifiable, reliability can't be assessed) and what is basically a blog (not reliable). That casual racists with no self-awareness have used this term in informal contexts does not mean this redirect should be kept. –
Scyrme (
talk) 14:20, 23 October 2022 (UTC)reply
This just reads as
WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. People called him this. We shouldn't go out of our way to make it harder for someone to find this article. I don't know where the name comes from but it is used in at least one reliable source, the "permanent dead link" from the article
[1], so presumably the fact that the players association website also uses it
[2] means this name was used. What benefit comes from deletion? No-one will see this except people clicking "what links here" or people searching this.
A7V2 (
talk) 23:55, 23 October 2022 (UTC)reply
I don't remotely see how
WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS applies. Everything I've argued complies with the guidance at
Wikipedia:Redirect, including
WP:RDELETE and
WP:RNEUTRAL. Nothing I've said is leading ahead of the sources; the reliable sources that call him "Ernie" (and in-fact there are
old newspaper columns dating to the 1940s that do so, so this isn't remotely new). I wasn't able to find that archive you linked to because the domain had changed; I've now updated the link in the article. This means the one reliable source is dead but is accessible through an archive, so it can be verified. Note that
WP:RNEUTRAL requires multiple reliable sources, not just one. However, the
updated ESPN page also calls him "Ernie", so even the one reliable source we have has moved on. –
Scyrme (

""Non-neutral" and "offensive" are two different matters", "That casual racists with no self-awareness have used this term in informal contexts does not mean this redirect should be kept." - this is why I mentioned rightgreatwrongs. I'm not going to go into the reasons for this as they may be incorrect (and perhaps not
WP:AGF on my part) but I think are obvious enough (in terms of my interpretation of what you were saying). In any case I apologise for that. That all said, I don't believe that a reliable source using this name in the past would be for no reason. Given there is no actual benefit from deletion advanced thus far (how can something no-one will see be offensive?) we should keep this as a valid search term. I don't agree that
WP:RFD#D3 applies either since my reading of it is that the redirect would need to be offensive to the person, and there is no evidence of that here.
A7V2 (
talk) 23:14, 24 October 2022 (UTC)reply
I'm not convinced that it only has to be a offensive to the subject of the article to qualify, that's just the example given, but I can understand why you might read it that way since the guidance doesn't explicitly say anything either way. Unless there's guidance elsewhere which affirms one interpretation over the other, I think we're stuck here. Best to get more opinions. –
Scyrme (

Delete for lack of coverage in reliable sources. I have no problem in principle with redirects containing profanity or slurs. However:
[3] does not appear to be a reliable source, and a since-revised database entry is not enough coverage to justify a potentially inflammatory redirect. --
