The United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement has a mandated six-year review that's scheduled for 2026 ( Sunset clause section mentions this, but not explicitly the year). This, to me at least, was the expected result when I originally saw the redirect. Hey man im josh ( talk) 20:35, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Josh's apparent expectation seems so implausible (who searches for one of the periodic reviews of new NAFTA, let along expects it to exist, let alone to have its own dedicated redirect) that I have to believe he's simply made it up to try and add weight to his proposal that people might be searching for something else. Meanwhile, he is adamant on deleting every sports redirect on sight despite surely by now recognising these redirects are so widespread exactly because everybody (else) uses such names.

Not mentioned at the target article. Hey man im josh ( talk) 20:28, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Looks like a bad faith RFD (wikigaming); the redirect is self-evidently useful and no reason listed at WP:RFD#DELETE applies. --  C. A. Russell ( talk) 04:47, 25 January 2024 (UTC) reply
@ C. A. Russell: From what I know about Josh, I can guarantee you that this was not a bad faith nomination and I encourage you to withdraw that claim. "Not mentioned at the target article" is a very common rationale for deletion at RfD, and it comes down to a fundamental policy: WP:V. If this is indeed a common term used to describe the 2022 Peach Bowl, then this claim should be mentioned and sourced in that article in order to verify the redirect. If that cannot be done, then the redirect should be deleted. -- Tavix ( talk) 14:17, 25 January 2024 (UTC) reply
This is, in fact, a common term. Here is one evidence that Georgia Bulldogs' Midnight Miracle does indeed refer to the 2022 Peach Bowl: https://thetouchdown.co.uk/georgia-football-a-new-years-miracle/ Abhiramakella ( talk) 16:22, 25 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Please stick to the subject instead of making this about persons. On the subject:

This is a redirect, not a proposal for article title. WP:COMMONNAME etc. doesn't apply.

I acknowledge that "Not mentioned at the target article" is erroneously mentioned often (too often, actually). It is nonetheless not a sufficient reason to delete a redirect. --  C. A. Russell ( talk) 16:26, 25 January 2024 (UTC) reply
@ C. A. Russell: So it's okay for you to say, looks like a bad faith RFD (wikigaming), which is an aspersion about a person (namely, Hey man im josh). When I call you out on it, you insist to stick to the subject instead of making this about persons. Do you not see the hypocrisy there? Withdraw your aspersion and it won't have to be about persons. I'm also not sure why you mentioned that WP:COMMONNAME doesn't apply; it does not appear that anyone is trying to use it (and no, using the informal phrase 'common term' does not invoke WP:COMMONNAME precisely because this isn't an WP:RM). For what it's worth, I've stricken my use of 'common', it is not needed to make my point. The best way to combat "not mentioned at the target" is to fix the issue and mention it in the target, which will then resolve the potential WP:V violation (I'm using 'potential' because sources have since been found in this example). -- Tavix ( talk) 18:33, 25 January 2024 (UTC) reply

The best way to combat "not mentioned at the target" is to fix the issue and mention it in the target

Right (in general—i.e. something which can be trivially resolved and doesn't merit a comparatively heavyweight response, which is why "not mentioned at the target" is such a poor reason to initiate RFD). The reality is that it's clear as-is upon reading the relevant article why the redirect is in place and doesn't even call for a character-for-character match of the name of the redirect at some place in the article text. I suspect the RFD arose from either not reading the article or, having read it, understood why the redirect is in place, but deciding to submit it to RFD anyway.

So it's okay for you to say, looks like a bad faith RFD (wikigaming), which is an aspersion about a person

Wrong. If you are involved in an accident and I am questioned when the police arrive or testify in court and in response to being asked what I witnessed leading up to the accident I state that it looked like the parties were engaged in streetracing before losing control and colliding, that's not casting aspersions (even if it does incidentally have personal consequences). It is a 100% subject-focused response. (Likewise, there's a distinction between my remarks and what you're doing here, for example.) So please, let's focus on subject that is the topic of this RFD and stick to merit-based arguments. If they are tangent to acts by persons, fine, but lets not go on tangents about persons. --  C. A. Russell ( talk) 11:22, 26 January 2024 (UTC) reply
That analogy is not at all relevant. Bottom line: you falsely accused the nominator of bad faith in an attempt to poison the well, so you don't get to plead to "focus on the subject" when it was you who made it about the person. -- Tavix ( talk) 14:33, 26 January 2024 (UTC) reply
@ C. A. Russell: Please withdraw the claim about this being a bad faith RFD / wikigaming. It's fine to disagree with the "not mentioned at target rationale", but it's not okay to cast aspersions. Redirects are, quite often, deleted because they are not mentioned at the target. As Tavix mentioned, this comes down to a verifiability issue. If the nickname is relevant (and a possible search term) then a variation of it should be mentioned in some capacity in the article at least once. Hey man im josh ( talk) 14:49, 26 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Verifiability and appearance within the article text are completely orthogonal.

Redirects are, quite often, deleted because they are not mentioned at the target.

Sure—in error. Procedural errors happen. All the time—in real world criminal trials, even, for example. Normalization of deviance is not the same thing as legitimization of deviance. Your arguments need to be rooted and stand on the merits. The notion that this happens all the time is something that somehow trumps proper RFD and obviates the need to provide a solid justification for deletions, especially when pressed on it, is a vacuous tactic on par with weasel words and citeogenesis.

If the nickname is relevant (and a possible search term) then a variation of it should be mentioned in some capacity in the article at least once.

If "not mentioned at target article" rationale is sufficient for deletion, the relevant policy docs and guidelines need to be updated to say so. As it stands, RFD hobbyists forming quorums and deleting redirects on those grounds alone are operating in contravention of policy (and good sense)—yes, even if they've done so a lot. The fact that no one is watching and/or doesn't feel it worth the battle to hold folks to account doesn't change that.
I'm not going to address a third time the attempt to force the focus on persons. Please stop. --  C. A. Russell ( talk) 04:41, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
@ C. A. Russell: I ask you against, withdraw the obviously inappropriate aspersions that you've casted. They've out of the blue, inappropriate, and entirely unsubstantiated. An experienced user such as yourself absolutely knows better and this comes across as personal when you make these types of statements. Hey man im josh ( talk) 22:17, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Weak delete I did find at least one mention of the term "Midnight Miracle" on its own in a RS: [1], but the exact phrasing from this redirect seems unlikely. - Presidentman talk · contribs ( Talkback) 16:09, 25 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per WP:V, attestation as a name for this event has not been verified with a sourced mention at the article. I let this one ride for a bit because I was hopeful a mention could be added, but I no longer enjoy that optimism. -- Tavix ( talk) 05:06, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    That's a strawman. Attestation that "Georgia Bulldogs' Midnight Miracle" is another name for the 2022 Peach Bowl is completely absent from this discussion. --  C. A. Russell ( talk) 05:15, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    There's no strawman, they voted based on it not being mentioned at the target. That's reasonable and normal. Hey man im josh ( talk) 22:18, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    User:Tavix wrote "attestation as a name for this event has not been verified with a sourced mention at the article". There are several problems with that statement, but the most basic being that the only way for it to even be conversationally relevant [2] is if there were someone presently arguing that "[Georgia Bulldogs' Midnight Miracle is] a name for this event [i.e. 2022 Peach bowl]". But there isn't anyone arguing that. That's what makes it a strawman. --  C. A. Russell ( talk) 01:44, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per Tavix et al. No evidence that "Georgia Bulldogs' Midnight Miracle" is a phrase which is ever used. "Midnight Miracle" has been used to refer to this game (among many other things!) but the phrase is not used at the target and the specific search term "Georgia Bulldogs' Midnight Miracle" seems implausible.

These titles are not unambiguously associated with the target events and would be more useful if redirected to YYYY in CountryName.

Too ambiguous to be a useful search term. Other possible targets may be included under Category:2023 in French rugby league, Category:2022–23 in French rugby union, and Category:2023–24 in French rugby union. Hey man im josh ( talk) 19:29, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Josh, I think you might be the one person who has managed to go through life without seeing major sports tournaments called "Country Year" en masse, please stop nominating all these valid and useful redirects. Kingsif ( talk) 23:09, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ Kingsif: It's fine to disagree with me, but I think it's inappropriate of you to ask me to stop nominating redirects which I don't believe are useful. I have quite the extensive history in reviewing redirects and this week was the first time I came across redirects like this. I still very much believe it's ambiguous and unhelpful.ese are entirely appropriate nominations and I stand by my statement that they're ambiguous and unhelpful. I reviewed tens of thousands of redirects last year alone, participated in RfD discussions, and closed discussions at RfD and have yet to come across redirects in these style. Hey man im josh ( talk) 23:27, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    Perhaps it's because I have come to RfD and seen in just today's log that it's all you nominating all of these, and with every new nom I found it more unbelievable, sorry about the first part of my comment being dismissive. However, I stand by the view that you shouldn't be nominating these - and certainly not so many at once.
    I'll take you at your word that you've never seen such common names for sports tournaments before, but if you have such an extensive track record in assessing redirects, do you not have the experience that if there are lots of identically-formatted redirects for similar events that's probably because it is what it looks like: common parlance. Kingsif ( talk) 23:35, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Since the logo refers to the event as "France 2023," this does not seem like an unlikely search term to me. I would imagine it would be the primary topic as well. - Presidentman talk · contribs ( Talkback) 16:11, 25 January 2024 (UTC) reply

I don't believe this is a helpful search term, despite the Washington Commanders briefly being named the Washington Football Team. Hey man im josh ( talk) 19:25, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Delete: I agree with you. I tend to think that anyone who might be inclined to use some form of "Football Team" to refer to the franchise would probably use the abbreviation "WFT," which was popular and common. Pretty much nobody ever used "Football Team" by itself because, notwithstanding the result of an RfC on Wikipedia regarding a grammar issue, just about nobody ever viewed those two words taken in isolation as the team's name. (That is, "Washington Football Team," sure. Just plain "Football Team," no—for example, nobody ever said "the Football Team and the Cowboys play twice every season." 1995hoo ( talk) 19:53, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was revert move. (non-admin closure) Queen of Hearts 04:25, 7 February 2024 (UTC) reply

I had to move this article that was in draft space, into my user sandbox- to try and solve an ongoing issue with google having indexed the talk page of the draft- which obviously should not have happened, but it's been appearing in google search results for possibly a long time now. Apologies I can't link to the teahouse discussion when I previously raised this (as it's been archived now), but another editor kindly submitted a 'refresh search results' request to google, in the hopes this would help them realise they shouldn't have indexed that page. It's still showing in their search results, so we had also discussed me moving the draft elsewhere to see if that helped- so I've done this now, but feel it makes sense for the re-direct to just be deleted, so people don't keep getting directed to the draft talk content as if it's mainspace content.

Hopefully this makes sense? It's a really confusing issue that we haven't been able to get to the bottom of. I didn't want to request a deletion of the whole draft either, as this way the history is preserved. Editing84 ( talk) 15:32, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply

I also wonder if an alternative to deletion would be for someone to tag the re-direct page with no-index? If people feel that the re-direct shouldn't be deleted? Just to prevent this taking up space as a potentially unnecessary RfD. I had originally just wanted to request a speedy deletion of the re-direct because it felt like a strightforward matter and I was the sole author of it etc, but was advised by a Teahouse responder to post here. Editing84 ( talk) 12:11, 25 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Revert move since the draft is not solely the nominator's. The nominator may want to consider creating a copy of the draft in their user space, and then overriding the original draft after they are done making the changes on the user page. Steel1943 ( talk) 23:55, 2 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ Steel1943: How will this help with the issue of the talk page appearing in Google search results? The move was done to trick Google, and not to improve the draft. How about revert move and archive the talk page? Even if the talk page appears on Google later, the current content will have been cleared.

    @ JJMC89: The instructions at DRV are: Consider attempting to discuss the matter with the closer as this could resolve the matter more quickly. and that is what I was doing. The forum for that discussion doesn't have to be the closer's talk page, and I saw the RfU, and now the RfD as relevant forums. In any case, the takeaway is that the prior content can be made available in some form to satisfy either the REDLINK or the standalone article suggestions. Jay 💬 18:02, 5 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete This could equally likely be treated at the current target or at Anti-antisemitism. The latter feels more appropriate to me, perhaps because the article is shorter now.

The result of the discussion was disambiguate. Jay 💬 17:18, 31 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Seems that there is no WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and this should be converted to a disambiguation page, with San Antonio Gunslingers (indoor football) getting more views, but both have light traffic. [3] If the USFL team really is the primary topic, then San Antonio Gunslingers (USFL team) should alternatively be renamed to San Antonio Gunslingers instead. There are lots of incoming links to the current redirect. — Bagumba ( talk) 10:27, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • I explicitly oppose the arguments citing PANDORA because it's irrelevant nonsense. Nobody has ever presented any evidence that demontrates that the existence of one redirect encourages the creation of redirects of a similar type, nor any evidence that deleting them discourages the creation of similar ones. Additionally, even if the influence does exist, it's irrelevant as we judge redirects on their own merits not on the merits of unrelated ones. In this case the benefit is clear (it allows readers to find the page they are looking for, lack of links is explicitly irrelevant) and there is no evidence of any harm caused by their existence - they aren't conflicting with anything, they aren't preventing people finding other things, they aren't misleading, and they're certainly not discouraging the creation of articles at these titles. Thryduulf ( talk) 21:21, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ Thryduulf: Would you support the mass creation of these types of redirects if someone requested a bot task to create the different variations for existing DABs? I'm of the mind set of "all of nothing" for improperly formatted disambiguations. If we want to allow these types of redirects then I think it'd be best to include them where possible. Hey man im josh ( talk) 21:26, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    I would not oppose the mass creation of such redirects, but I wouldn't actively support it either. I would support the creation of any specific ones that people felt useful (for whatever reason), but as with most redirects I don't see any significant benefit from the time and effort required for mass creation. If someone wants to put that effort in, I'm not going to stand in their way, but I just feel there are more productive uses for that effort. Thryduulf ( talk) 21:33, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    Fair enough, just wanted to gauge how strongly you felt. A bot task probably wouldn't be too much effort, but that's another discussion for another day. Hey man im josh ( talk) 21:39, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    I think PANDORA does have a level of community consensus though I don't think it matters a huge amount for readers or editors. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 18:52, 25 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    It depends on how the WP:PANDORA argument is employed; most of the time, I agree with Thryduulf's stance, but I do occasionally veer from that stance when the redirect is titled like a hot pile of garbage. For this case here, it may just be better to claim WP:RDAB issues and keep it moving. Steel1943 ( talk) 03:20, 26 January 2024 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was no consensus. There was agreement that Pound Sterling should be the target, however 4 different sections of the article were suggested for refining. Retargeting to Pound Sterling as the broad target. The discussion on refining may be continued at the new target's talk or another forum. Jay 💬 17:25, 31 January 2024 (UTC) reply

"Penny sterling" more commonly refers to the subdivision of the currency, commonly used for stock quotations on the London Stock Exchange. This should point to Pound sterling#Currency code instead of the coin. feminist🇭🇰🇺🇦 ( talk) 06:54, 7 January 2024 (UTC) reply

I agree that the current target is not appropriate but am less sure about what it should be. If the reader wants the historical basis, then it should redirect to Pound sterling#Etymology (or maybe Pound sterling#Medieval, 1158). If the reader wants current usage, then Feminist's logic is correct. I suspect that WP:COMMON NAME would favour the latter. -- 𝕁𝕄𝔽 ( talk) 11:18, 7 January 2024 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was delete.

No mention anymore at the target. Therefore, I propose deletion of all. Veverve ( talk) 12:15, 1 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, at least for now. An article was created at Lesnes Abbey Conservation Volunteers (LACV), moved to Lesnes Abbey Conservation Volunteers and then merged to Lesnes Abbey Woods in 2008. The merged content was boldly removed from the target article (citing WP:BURDEN) 1 minute before the nomination here. 1 minute on google suggests that at least most of the content that was removed is easily verifiable, so whether it should remain is a matter of WP:DUE which needs discussion. Accordingly, I recommend keeping the redirects and restoring and sourcing the content without prejudice to a consensus discussion about whether the mention is DUE (based on 1 minute on google it's not obvious to me either way). If the outcome of that discussion is to remove mention, then the redirects can be nominated here (and will likely be deleted) but the current nomination is premature. Thryduulf ( talk) 16:12, 1 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    1 minute on google suggests that at least most of the content that was removed is easily verifiable: there is zero secondary RS discussing the Lesnes Abbey Conservation Volunteers. Thus, the content cannot and should not be restored. Veverve ( talk) 17:00, 2 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    Only notability requires sources be secondary and independent, verifiability of facts just requires reliability. Notability is completely irrelevant to the redirect and largely irrelevant to inclusion on another article. Thryduulf ( talk) 18:28, 2 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    Information supported by blogs about random volunteer groups is not to be kept. Notability has a role in those cases, we cannot add any random information simply because it is peripheral to the topic of the article. Veverve ( talk) 22:36, 4 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Keep. WP:RGUIDE applies. Nominator's WP:NOTABILITY argument confuses Wikipedia's notability criteria and verifiability, the fact that a given phrase doesn't appear in the article is not sufficient to justify the deletion of a redirect (and the fact that the nominator is responsible for its removal is poor form, besides). --  C. A. Russell ( talk) 13:02, 25 January 2024 (UTC) reply
the fact that a given phrase doesn't appear in the article is not sufficient to justify the deletion of a redirect: it absolutely is a good argument. If a topic is not mentioned in a targeted article, then the redirect mentioning this topic is misleading. There are deletions of redirects for this very reason all the time. Veverve ( talk) 17:44, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
A redirect not appearing in an article is not a sufficient reason on its own to justify deletion. If it were Category:Redirects to an article without mention would not exist. It is true that redirects that aren't mentioned are frequently deleted, but they are deleted for reasons additional to not being mentioned. Thryduulf ( talk) 20:48, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Category:Redirects to an article without mention is a maintenance category. It lists redirects in which an action is needed—such as adding a mention at the target article, finding a better target, or listing at RfD. -- Tavix ( talk) 21:24, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
That's simply incorrect. While there are probably redirects in there that need some action, there are many redirects that do not (also note that every redirect category is classified as a maintenance category, even ones like Category:Redirects from synonyms where (almost?) none require action.). The first example I found was the result of an RfD consensus: Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 April 18#Double redirect. Thryduulf ( talk) 23:55, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
We're getting a bit off-topic, but if a category is not for Wikipedia maintenance, then it should not be tagged as a maintenance category. Per WP:PROJCAT, the correct terminology for a non-content category is "administrative category" and "maintenance category" is a subcat therein. As for Double redirect, the obvious solution there is adding a mention to the target (and this was suggested at the RfD). -- Tavix ( talk) 00:26, 28 January 2024 (UTC) reply
If you want to propose recategorising some or all redirect tracking categories, then do feel free but this is the wrong venue. As for double redirect, it was indeed suggested but the consensus of the discussion was that it wasn't required. It is also far from the only time when consensus has concluded that a mention is not required. All this is getting well into the weeds, but it does prove my (and @ C. A. Russell's) point that lack of mention alone is not a sufficient reason to delete a redirect. In many cases a lack of mention is a reason why a redirect is confusing, misleading, or otherwise problematic but it is for those reasons, not the lack of mention, that we would delete the redirect.
C. A. Russell comment about the fact that the nominator is responsible for its removal is poor form also ties in with my original "keep, at least for now" recommendation (emphasis added). If you BOLDLY remove material from an article, you need to allow a reasonable time for other editors to challenge the removal of that material before deleting (or proposing deletion) of redirects or other things that depend on the removed material. How long "reasonable" is depends on several factors, including how active the article is (e.g. it's far shorter if the article is about a popular culture thing that is currently in the news than if the article is about an obscure 18th century novel for example), how widely advertised the change has been and how significant the change was. However, in the absence of very significant BLP issues it's always going to be longer than the few minutes allowed for here. Thryduulf ( talk) 02:05, 28 January 2024 (UTC) reply
No, I'm not proposing recategorization, I'm explaining how maintenance categories are defined. For what it's worth, I have resolved the {{ R without mention}} of Double redirect. I also discovered Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 March 17#Double redirects which resulted in delete. It does appear you have WP:CHALLENGE backwards—the challenge is the removal of the content, not a hypothetical reversal of that action. In order to restore that information, it needs to be by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution. Until or unless that happens, the redirects should be deleted because they're not supported by the target. Of course, if someone is able to correctly re-add material that is supported by reliable sources, then these redirects can and should be restored or recreated. -- Tavix ( talk) 21:18, 28 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Until or unless that happens, the redirects should be deleted because they're not supported by the target.

That doesn't track with actual WP policy and guidelines on redirects. --  C. A. Russell ( talk) 12:16, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Nice WP:VAGUEWAVE, but as I explained the policy invoked is WP:CHALLENGE. -- Tavix ( talk) 13:05, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Regardless of who has the burden in the case of a challenge, you have to actually give them an appropriate amount of time to (a) notice that the content has been removed, (b) engage in any discussion required to clarify why it has been removed (verifiability is not the only reason why something may be removed, nor was it why this was removed - nobody is disputing that this group exists only whether mention is DUE), (c) look for any sources that are needed and add them to the article if required. Additionally, even if the content is removed by consensus (silent or otherwise) that's not necessarily a reason to delete a redirect in every case (which is why it is not a speedy deletion criterion). Thryduulf ( talk) 15:33, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply
The time is being given in the RfD discussion (which is coming up on a month now!). Anyone who wants to keep these redirects can and should take the effort to track down sources to support the redirects. If that can be done, and the content readded to the target appropriately, then my rationale for deletion would be negated. As for nor was it why this was removed, this is exactly why the content was removed; the diff is "unsourced (WP:BURDEN)". -- Tavix ( talk) 15:55, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Recently created cross-namespace redirect using an unlikely character, to WikiProject Apple. It does not seem as if this would be a worthwhile search term with the missing character at the end. Utopes ( talk / cont) 01:48, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Comment The "missing" character is the Apple logo (can be verified on an Apple device or by typing it into Twitter/X). See also Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 April 20#. InfiniteNexus ( talk) 02:05, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. WikiProjects rarely benefit from cross-namespace redirects, and per MarioGom's comments at the RfD linked by InfiniteNexus this character is ambiguous. Thryduulf ( talk) 12:19, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete: There is no need for a cross-namespace redirect and the usage of this non-standard character preceded by WikiProject is a completely implausible search term. MarioGom ( talk) 17:17, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete since it is an WP:XNR when a similar redirect like Wikipedia: exists. Steel1943 ( talk) 18:16, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per above. Do note though that I only see a box with four letters inside it. -- Lenticel ( talk) 03:12, 26 January 2024 (UTC) reply
    As do I. It just means you do not have a font (that your browser/OS knows about) installed which includes a character for that codepoint. This is common for codepoints like this one that are in the Private Use Area of Unicode. Thryduulf ( talk) 03:52, 26 January 2024 (UTC) reply

A CAT: PNR for a now-inactive WikiProject. It doesn't seem as if this title needs to remain as a redirect in mainspace, as it wouldn't be regularly used and does not follow a regular naming pattern for CAT: space redirects. Utopes ( talk / cont) 01:35, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply

The entire set of "Cat:" prefix XNRs that aren't actual articles. Per Wikipedia:Shortcut#List of prefixes, "Cat:" is not a valid pseudo-namespace or shortcut. The usage of "MoS" and "Mos" are already pretty controversial, but those are the only two types of lowercase PNR shortcuts that are currently permitted. Lowercase "cat" titles are generally not allowed to my understanding, and these have all been created from 2016 and onwards (as I presume the rest of the pre-2016 titles have been deleted via different discussions).

Another similar situation, this actress appears across many different films and TV series covered on Wikipedia, including but not limited to 90 ML (2019 Tamil film), Payanigal Gavanikkavum, Teddy (film), and Dhanusu Raasi Neyargale. Redirecting to only one of these appearances does not tell enough about who this actress is, and it would seemingly be preferable to keep as a red link to encourage the creation of an article about this individual.

Is featured in several movies and series, including but not limited to: Titli (2023 TV series), Bhaag Saale, Mayavi Maling, Imlie, and Sethji (TV series). Generally speaking, it is not helpful, and oftentimes misleading, to redirect actors or actresses to shows that they are cast in, unless for some reason it's the ONLY time they'll ever be mentioned on Wikipedia. Because this actress is covered across many different films and TV series, it's not great to redirect to only one of these occurrences (which doesn't really discuss her besides the fact that she was in it). In cases like these, it's more preferable to keep the title as a WP:REDLINK to encourage article creation. Utopes ( talk / cont) 00:33, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply
