Alternate capitalization of two pages,

A7V2 (

Keep because it's not a "novel or very obscure synonym", which is the criteria under
WP:RFD#DELETE for unmentioned names. It might be better pointed specifically at the
Call centre#Virtual call centre section, but I don't think that's critical. The capitalization (which wouldn't be a reason to delete a redirect anyway) is appropriate, because the abbreviation is CCaaS, to mirror
SaaS.

Thryduulf (

Having a lot of redirects to an article is absolutely not a problem in and of itself. Also note that the current target is nominated for detion, see
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Canidae in Meitei culture. As for what to do with these, I am neutral on the first few and the last one (ending "in Manipuri culture") as I think they would be fine if they ended "in Meitei culture" but I don't understand the context enough to know if this is equivalent, noting that
Manipuri culture is a dab page. KeepVixen in Meitei culture (discussed at target), KeepCanid in Meitei culture. Delete the rest (those beggining with "domestic dogs" and "hunting dogs") as there isn't really any discussion at the target about these.

Keep all : Those terms are English language synonymous terms of the important topics mentioned and discussed inside the article in varying degrees. For example,
canidae,
caninae,
canids,
canines, etc. are all scientifically as well as terminologically directly related as well as derivatives of one another. Those are zoological terms for the group of animals that consists of wolves, jackals and dogs. Vixen isn't an irrelevant term but a feminine gender of fox. Deletion isn't the solution. --

Brusquedandelion (

@
Brusquedandelion and
Pepperbeast: These are all discussed at the target, they are subtopics of "Canidae." Wolves, jackals, foxes, and Caninae are all canids. Obviously if the AfD returns a "delete" result then these should be deleted as broken redirects, but otherwise they are useful. So far neither of you have given any rationale for deleting these apart from
WP:IDONTLIKEIT statements that make this nomination unhelpful and borderline-disruptive. Brusquedandelion, you call these redirects "spam", which makes no sense because they are discussed to varying degrees at the target, and you say that this is mind numbingly jobless behavior from some Manipuri nationalist, which is pretty much a
WP:PA against
Haoreima. I encourage you to strike that part of your comment.
Deleting these redirects would be a net decrease in the quality of the encyclopedia, and you still can't come up with policy-backed rationales for deleting them.
WP:RPURPOSE clearly list Sub-topics or other topics which are described or listed within a wider article.🌺 Cremastra (

Claiming the redirect should exist simply because they are discussed at the target is irrelevant given the target itself should not exist.
Brusquedandelion (

Then take that up at the deletion discussion. This is not a discussion about the article, this a discussion about these redirects on their independent merits.
🌺 Cremastra (

But why?
WP:COMMONSENSE suggests that I should absolutely use all information available to me in trying to make Wikipedia a better encyclopedia.
Brusquedandelion (

Like you realize ANYONE can edit a Wikipedia article, right? Are you telling me if I follow this simple, two-step procedure, I can manufacture whichever redirects I wish?
Edit the destination article to introduce whichever topic I wish.
Manufacture a new redirect from the topic I introduced to the destination article.
I confess I am new to this site. But if you're sincerely telling me that Wikipedia has no safeguards against such a simple tactic- against this and others sorts of, well, frankly, jobless behavior by people with nothing better to do (let's call a spade a spade), how do Wikipedia admins get anything done at all? How are you not constantly just dealing with a river of mind-numbingly dull minutia?
Surely there's some safeguard against this.
Brusquedandelion (

If there is content about that species in that culture, it is likely a useful redirect. If there isn't it is likely not.

Keep all: Possibly useful. Not really seeing a problem with them.
Hey man im josh (

This is because foxes, jackals, and wolves are separate species from dogs. Though perhaps unlikely to be thought of first, a specialist might be specifically interested in the role of foxes in this culture, and look that up specifically. If we do have significant writing on this topic, a redirect is helpful. ~

Keep all: Those are all directly relevant terms, which are discussed in the article at varying degrees, not random spams.
Haoreima (

These would all be retargeted to
Animals in Meitei culture#Dogs in Meitei culture once the current merge discussion as concluded. Currently, many of the animals in these redirects aren't mentioned there yet (wolves, foxes), so it's hard for me to tell what it will look like after the merge. I expect a Complete keep would be fine here, though specific animals may end up omitted. "Vixen" should be omitted unless female foxes are explicitly mentioned in the article. I think we have to wait and see for the end result. ~

Keep: As author, I made this redirect, given the article was previously deleted, to fill the red links left behind. There is a draft at
Draft:Dexerto that can be worked on to eventually take over from this redirect, and no other article in the mainspace presently refers to Dexerto outside of it being used as a source, which is cited in a multitude of articles.

Soft delete: I only suggest deleting redirects if I believe the redirect will cause more confusion than the value it brings. It seems clear to me Lewis is not the proper page to redirect to, it has only been chosen because there is no better article (e.g. a founder or parent company).

Delete – Dexerto may frequently be used as a citation on Wikipedia, and users may click that wikilink to find out more about the publication. Getting directed to a journalist with only limited involvement in the publication (and thus, source article) would be very confusing within that context. ~

Unlikely search term. From some searching, it seems like it may be based on a meme about
Latios and
Latias, each one having a different gender, and "Lati@s" apparently being a play on that. Even if that weren't the case, I'd nominate this as a l33tspeak redirect that's unehlpful.

QueenofHearts 08:42, 11 February 2024 (UTC)reply
I mean, I didn't really add anything on this nomination, but I suppose I could probably justify the !vote. If the "@" sign is used to signify both an "a" and an "o", that seems to be an intentional stylistic decision that still indicates the subject, which wouldn't conflict with anything as being the only subject on Wikipedia titled "Latias". But this time, it has the benefit of signifying "Latias and Latios", which might be sought by readers in this way. Basically what Raymond said; this is a method of specifying the subject in a possibly reasonable way, all while being more likely than something like "Celebi: The Legendary Pokemon" which is highly unlikely to be formatted as such. Unlike that, this is just a difference in a character, from an a to an @. Utopes(talk / cont) 03:48, 13 February 2024 (UTC)reply
Keep – Apparently a search term used by some groups.
Latios and Latias shows precedent of redirect the duo to Latias, which seems fine to me. ~
Maplestrip/Mable (

Keep. Not a problematic
WP:XY redirect, as the target is "a location in which both topics are discussed." Redirecting to Latias makes sense because it precedes Latios in the list.

It's unlikely to switch using the full names, to the abbreviation for Washington, back to the full name for Pennsylvania. If created today it might be actionable. However, this redirect has existed since 2006, is typo-free, doesn't conflict with anything, and still is clear in its target. Weak Keep, probably, isn't doing much harm, unless there was another terrorist attack on those three places. Utopes(talk / cont) 21:06, 9 February 2024 (UTC)reply
Delete as implausible. As Utopes says above, it is very unlikely that anyone would search for the full state name, an abbreviation, and a full state name. But more to the point, it wasn't Washington state that was targeted, it was DC (or to be more precise, Virginia). I would agree with Utopes if the abbreviation were VA or DC, but it isn't. WA is unambiguously the state abbreviation of the Pacific Northwest state, and is clearly incorrect, as opposed to the redirect
Terrorist attacks on New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania, which is plausible as "Washington" is ambiguous. –

for the three redirects we currently have, for the possibility of making more, or for a theoretical article about shiny pokémon?
because if shiny pokémon as a concept are found to be notable enough to warrant more than a paragraph in the gameplay article, then there could be some more redirects, though that case... isn't entirely impossible, now that i think about it
do think the reception to individual shinies that aren't "black reptile" has yet to reach any form of coverage aside from memes about how much pink and lime green shinies suck cogsan(nag me)(stalk me) 16:07, 12 February 2024 (UTC)reply

DELETER, the extra letters added to the end make this more of an association with the meme, and even less of a helpful redirect. Turning "gen wun" into an agent noun, a la "someone who gen wuns", is even more implausible for not being a Wikipedia topic. Neither "Genwun" or "Genwunner" appear anywhere on Wikipedia for that matter. Utopes(talk / cont) 23:08, 9 February 2024 (UTC)reply

Steel1943 (

(re Steel at first, later turns into re:Waid from wiktionary) Yes, under the GENWUN RfD I mentioned that "genwun" was the phonetic spelling of "gen 1", also alongside the Know Your Meme page, although I probably should've highlighted this here as well. The current target is definitely intentional due to "genwunner" being a Pokemon meme associated with Pokemon's first gen. At the end of the day though, this meme is not covered, or even acknowledged, anywhere on Wikipedia (between both "genwun" and "genwunner"). There's no on-Wikipedia-justification for targeting a meme-word meaning: "Someone who likes only the first generation of the Pokémon franchise", to the respective list of Pokemon from that generation, and would leave readers that use this term confused without a mention of what they were looking for. I'm shocked to learn that there's a wiktionary page for this made-up slang, but pointing it as a soft redirect to
Wikt:genwunner is far better than the status quo. Utopes(talk / cont) 01:07, 10 February 2024 (UTC)reply

from my snooping around,
pidgey,
pikachu, and
dialga are the only pokémon with "shiny" redirects (and pikachu's doesn't even link to its article or the list of gen 1 pokémon), shininess is a really minor mechanic in mainline pokémon (to the point of shiny pokémon not being mentioned once in the lists of pokémon, and only in one paragraph plus a line in the
gameplay article), and on a less formal note, absolutely no one cares about shiny pidgey and dialga
so i think the options would be deleting those three or... making redirects for every other pokémon? cogsan(nag me)(stalk me) 16:29, 9 February 2024 (UTC)reply

Delete, we have no information on Shiny Pidgey. Can confirm that Dialga, Pikachu, and Pidgey are the only shiny Pokemon redirects currently in existence.

A separate article may be created in the future if and when content justifies that. If someone wants to make it a section link, OK, but just linking to the top avoids this stupid issue recurring in the future.

I didn't overlook the mention, it's just not relevant because the page history shows a dispute over whether this should be an article or a redirect.
Thryduulf (

Fair enough. Either way, I'm going to stick with my stance because I don't think the nominator noticed the mention or is questioning the notability. The target I referenced directs readers to where the subject is mentioned and identified.
Steel1943 (

I don't understand why you think the existence of the dispute isn't relevant? If this is notable then there should be a disambig or hatnote, if it isn't then we can consider whether the title should redirect and if so where to.
Thryduulf (
talk) 15:40, 10 February 2024 (UTC)reply
...Because it seems obvious the nominator doesn't see the dispute as relevant enough to take to AFD either, and most likely just overlooked the fact that the section name got changed from "Sequel" to "Sequels" and then started this discussion. That, and if it's notable, someone who knows how Wikipedia works will eventually try to revive an article again at this title. Either way, per the edit history, the multiple
WP:BLARs happened almost instantaneously after the content was created (1st BLAR occurred a week after the article was created in 2016, and the 2nd BLAR happened a day after content was reestablished in he middle of 2021), so I rarely say this but ... I think AFD in this case would be a time waster. This redirect has been a redirect consistently for about 2.5 years now, and before that it was a redirect for about 4.5 years ... I think what we got is the best we are gonna get.

I can see the rationale used when targeting this page to its target, but I'm not sure if this is useful and/or helpful. The target does not describe the members as "Jewish Nazis" verbatim, which leads me to believe that further eyes on this redirect may be warranted. Utopes(talk / cont) 06:32, 25 January 2024 (UTC)reply
Comment this is a term that gets lots of hits in a variety of reliable (and unreliable) sources, but it isn't consistently used to refer to a single topic. Referents include various WWII-era pro-Nazi Jewish people/organisations/ideologies, Jewish people/organisations that
collaborated with Nazi Germany (not necessarily voluntarily), Jewish people that espoused/practised ideologies similar to WWII-era Nazis post-WWII (e.g. in Apartheid South Africa), Jewish people/organisations that espouse/practice behaviour towards (especially) Palestinians that is/are/are alleged to be comparable to the way people/organisations in Nazi Germany acted towards Jews, and in relation to conspiracy theories about Jews (I haven't looked to see if this is just an epithet, an analogy, literal accusation or a mixture). So in summary, I think the current target is not wrong per se, but too narrow, and there probably should be something at this title although I'm unsure if that's an article, a broad concept or a set index.

Hi, the page was originally targeted towards
Omnipresence.
Ubiquitous (adjective) was created by
Starlighsky as they wanted it to explain the dictionary definition. (WP:NOT issues) They'd probably would like a redirect to Wikitionary instead.
It could also redirect to
Ubiquity or serve as its own disambig (

I want to explain the details of the issue: Ubiquitous is used in medical and computer science terminology for "that which seems to be everywhere", however ubiquitous was redirecting to
omnipresence. An new article had been created to solve the problem,
ubiquitous (adjective) but adjective had been added because ubiquitous was already taken as an article.
Starlighsky (

Retarget to
Ubiquity, a reasonable dab page, assuming the likely delete outcome at the associated AFD. What a mess. Alternatively, deletion would be reasonable too. Wiktionary redirects are harmful, as they get in the way of the normal search feature, and redundant, since the normal search feature always includes a prominent link to the Wikt entry when there is one, anyway.

I think targeting
Ubiquity would be odd and a borderline
WP:ASTONISH violation, since none of the entries on that dab page are relevant to the meaning or usage of the adjective ubiquitous. The only thing relevant on that page is the link to Wiktionary's ubiquity page, which is less informative than a direct link to its ubiquitous page would be.

List of airport stations is not a disambiguation page, and but the PTM guideline really should not be allowed to get in the way of disambiguating plausible but ambiguous search terms for the benefit of readers - where a redirect would be fine if it were unambiguous we should disambiguate (or set indexify or listify) when they are ambiguous.

Orthodoxy#Islam claims it could refer to Sunni Islam, the edit summary in changing this redirect target seems non-neutral. —

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. There's no consensus to delete; while delete !voters argued that this incomplete term could refer to any number of 2024 things in the Republican Party, and search results would do best, while keep !voters argued that searches for this term mostly returned results about the primaries, making it a plausible redirect. There was some support for retargeting, however not enough to form a consensus to retarget.

Couldn't disagree more. Make a Google search using the terms "2024 GOP." It's nothing but articles discussing the primaries. As plausible as it gets. That's why I even added the redirect.

Google and Wikipedia handle searches differently. Google is trying to find webpages (particularly recent ones) most associated with the words you search. For "2024 GOP", sure, that's the 2024 GOP primaries. That doesn't mean that, for Wikipedia's purposes, "2024 GOP" is a term used to refer to the GOP primaries. What we care about is search terms that could plausibly refer to the article's subject or to a concept discussed in an article. Unlike Google, we don't give someone a results list when there's a redirect; we confidently tell them, "This is what you meant". And we can't confidently assert that here, because "2024 GOP" already means something else: the Republican Party as exists in 2024 (as in "the 2024 GOP cares a lot about immigration"). It does not mean, and has never meant, the 2024 Republican primaries. --

Keep per TheCelebrinator and Alextejithompson. It's clear that the primary topic for people using this search term is the 2024 GOP primaries, it's also clear that it is a plausible search term.
Thryduulf (

@
Thryduulf: Can you point to any sources actually using this term to refer to the primaries themselves? This isn't something like
Euro 2024 that's a common shortening of a longer name. It's just the first two words of
2024 GOP primaries, which is why it comes up in search results. --

As this is not a request to move the page to that title, that isn't relevant. There are only two questions that are relevant: 1. is this a plausible search term, and 2. if so, what is the best target for a redirect from this title. The answer to question 1 is "yes" - we have evidence above to that effect. The answer to 2 is unquestionably the current target.
Thryduulf (
talk) 00:38, 25 January 2024 (UTC)reply
Of course it's relevant, Thryduulf. We do not keep redirects that are just an arbitrary fragment of a name for something, simply because Google associates that fragment with its whole. Would we redirect
2024 Summer to
2024 Summer Olympics? Most Google results for it are about just that.
96th Academy to
96th Academy Awards? Same thing there. If no sources refer to the primaries as "2024 GOP", then that is not just relevant here, it is the only thing that is relevant here. So again, I ask that someone show sources that anyone other than TheCelebrinator uses this term this way. --

Indeed we don't keep arbitrary fragments when they aren't useful and/or don't have a single clear target. e.g. the first page of Google hits for "2024 summer" is dominated by results for summer holidays (a mix of ideas and people wanting me to buy a holiday from them) but also includes the Olympics, Paralympics and fashion trends. While "96th Academy" does have a primary topic (in the Oscars) it's not a plausible search term imo as it lacks any nouns (although if anyone presents data to contradict this I'll be happy to change my mind). We have actual evidence above that people regard "2024 GOP" as a useful search term, and no evidence of harm so
WP:WR#KEEP point 5 applies.
Thryduulf (
talk) 11:07, 25 January 2024 (UTC)reply
From my geolocation, at least, the incognito Google results for "2024 Summer" are almost entirely about the Olympics. And no, we don't have evidence that people find it a useful search term. We have evidence that people Googled it and that Google took them to pages about this topic. No one here has actually said that this is something that they or anyone they know would ever expect to redirect to the current target. Because it isn't. It's nonsensical. It makes as much sense as targeting
October 2022 Conservative Party to
October 2022 Conservative Party leadership election. As to evidence of harm? Sure. Yet again, this literally means something else. It's just that it's a fragment of a more common phrase so it doesn't come up as high in search results... much as the primary meaning of "2024 Summer" is the summer of 2024, even if Google thinks it's the Olympics.
Here is an RS opinion article using "2024 GOP" to refer to the Republican Party in 2024.
Here it was used in the pre-clickthrough headline for
this RS article. Here
[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] is usage by various bloggers or commenters. Meanwhile we're still at 0 sources using the term to refer to the Republican primaries, and I have not found any such sources, reliable or otherwise, in my research. --

Delete per nom, who has shown convincing evidence that "2024 GOP" does not exclusively refer to the presidential primaries. The suggested alternative target does not seem particularly useful to me, but I could weakly accept it as an ATD. -

Oppose status quo (current target). Honestly, I'd expect this to point to
Republican Party (United States)#Trump era (2016–present). Not sure what the best target may or may not be, but where it currently targets is lacking (perhaps even
surprising). Also,
wikipedia is not a search engine; it makes sense that such sites would pull information up related to the primaries first given current news cycles (but that doesn't make it the
primary topic for our purposes, at least certainly not with an eye to the near and especially distant future). —

Retarget to
2024 Republican National Convention. We're probably heading for no consensus anyway, but I think this is the single event most likely to be referred to this way in the long term. I really don't like interpreting this as "State of the Republican Party in 2024" because of how squishy that is and how many potential targets there are. If I must choose between a straight keep or delete, I'd say keep. --

Thryduulf (

Weak Keep. As
GOP is a redirect to the Republican Party, I think it is plausible that "2024 GOP" would infer the "state of the Republican Party [GOP] in 2024". While that's a pretty broad topic with a lot of options, I feel the primaries (or the National Convention) are the articles that best exemplify the GOP in 2024. The primaries moreso than the convention, as this is more encompassing and specifically related to the 2024 election year as a whole beyond a single event. Utopes(talk / cont) 05:58, 5 March 2024 (UTC)reply
Delete per Tamzin and Godsy. The Republican Party in 2024 is much broader than the presidential primaries (lots going on in the
118th United States Congress, plenty of non-presidential elections, etc.). If I had to pick a target, I don't think we can get any narrower than
2024 in the United States. --

Bhawaybhalla6 (who seems to only be here for spam, by the way) wrote a spammy/promotional article about AI tools at this title; CycloneYoris nominated it for speedy deletion per

Artificial intelligence because it seemed like a plausible search term; CycloneYoris undid my edit, stating unnecessary. Please let an admin delete this. We don't want spam hidden in any page history.; finally, I undid his edit because I still thought that "Ai tool" was a plausible search term anyways.
