August 13

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on August 13, 2022.

Sid Salter

Not mentioned in target anymore MB 23:07, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Bob Sullender

Not mentioned in target anymore. MB 23:06, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:DENIALS

Recently created redirect, that points to a single sentence of WP:PUBLICFIGURE out of context. Seems to have been created as part of an ongoing dispute at Misplaced Pages talk:Mandy Rice-Davies applies. Sideswipe9th (talk) 22:54, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Database reports/Transclusions of non-existent templates

Reverting page move test/page move vandalism Schierbecker (talk) 22:49, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

TikTok war

The creator of this redirect cited this New Yorker article, but I'm not sure that's enough. The destination doesn't mention TikTok, so someone searching for it might be served just as well by TikTok, and it's also likely to age poorly, as future wars will also be fought on TikTok assuming the platform survives. Lastly, my read of the media coverage is that "first TikTok war" is being used more as a descriptor (e.g. "it's the first war fought on TikTok") than as a proper name (e.g. "I fought in the First TikTok War"), and as such I don't think it makes as much sense as a redirect. {{u|Sdkb}}  21:06, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Big words

Not synonymous. Delete unless a better target can be identified. signed, Rosguill 20:46, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Delete or Retarget to Longest words. I think it could be deleted, but Long words currently redirects to Longest words, so you could argue Big words could follow the same format. I'd personally be happy either way. – DirkJandeGeer щи 21:40, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

He can't keep getting away with this

Generic phrase. Linked to Sam Hyde per this KnowYourMeme submission of dubious reliability, but even if taken as fully reliable, it appears to have originated on Breaking Bad and only sometimes is invoked with reference to Hyde. Deletion seems more appropriate. signed, Rosguill 20:45, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

My god, what have I done?

It's a line in the song, but it's also a generic phrase. Deletion seems appropriate. signed, Rosguill 20:42, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

2b2t user names

Created with the edit summary Fairly notable player on this server, but they are not mentioned in any capacity at the target. Delete unless a WP:DUE mention can be added at the target (a brief internet search is not encouraging). signed, Rosguill 20:37, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Ground Zero (record label)

Ground Zero is mentioned once in the target article, in the infobox, which doesn't strike me as sufficient for the redirect to be useful. It's hard to find mentions of the record label using the search, but a cursory look didn't show up any plausible alternative targets. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 19:34, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

St. Pissed the Fuck Off

Not mentioned in the target or any other article, which is unsurprising as Google shows me a total of three results for this phrase, which seems to be a made-up nickname for this album. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 19:29, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Transformers Untitled

There is an "untitled" future project listed at the target page, but the use of the phrase like this is both unlikely and could assume there is a project by this specific name. (The redirect was an article for a day in 2012, and the content looks as though it refers to Transformers: Age of Extinction.) Steel1943 (talk) 19:03, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Gasper

I declined R3 (implausible, recently created redirect) speedy deletion. I think that the disambiguation page now at Gasper (disambiguation) should be at Gasper, reversing the original move to make this a redirect by TatesTopG. {{Nihiltres |talk |edits}} 18:12, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Porn scanner

These phrases do seem to have been in use to refer to the TSA's backscatter X-rays in the early 2010s, but none of them appear in the article and all are potentially ambiguous, so the redirects are likely to cause more confusion than clarity. My inquiry at the target talk page didn't reveal any enthusiasm for adding mentions that would make the redirects useful to the reader. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 15:50, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Is this mention (rather than use) of "porno scanner" in Revista de Derecho UNED of any help? --Kizor 20:48, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
@Kizor: Looks like a good source to me – from the Google translation it seems to tick the box of mentioning the use of the term rather than merely using it. I wouldn't be comfortable paraphrasing from a machine translation but if your Spanish is better than mine and you'd like to add a mention I'd be happy to remove that redirect from the list. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 20:56, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Polefield

Polefield appears to be an area in or near Prestwich, but isn't mentioned in the target, or in any other article in sufficient depth to be worth retargeting. My inquiry at the target talk page didn't reveal any interest in adding a mention to make this redirect useful to the reader. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 15:47, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Polefield is a well-attested historical place - see https://prestwich.org.uk/history/places/polefield.html. Polefield House didn't survive the 20th century, and I suppose it is all built over now. Has become a street name. Simple removal of the redirect is not the best solution here. Charles Matthews (talk) 16:16, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
@Charles Matthews: If a sourced mention can be added to the target I'd be happy to withdraw this nomination. In cases like these I make a point of beginning a talk page discussion before going to RfD in the hopes of arriving at that outcome. But having a redirect that fails to take readers to any relevant information is, in my view, worse than having no redirect at all. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 16:44, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
My attitude is that typing here is less constructive than typing on the target page. Charles Matthews (talk) 16:47, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
That's unfortunate because this is where redirects are supposed to be discussed. But to Arms & Hearts' point, I agree: If the content is added to the target page, this redirect could/should continue to exist, but if not, it should be deleted. (So, to make my "vote" official: delete unless a mention is added to the target page.) Steel1943 (talk) 19:08, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Intergenerational ethics

Intergenerational equity and intergenerational ethics are two quite distinct areas of study – the former is something studied mostly in economics and the latter mostly in moral philosophy – and the latter isn't discussed in the article on the former, or in any other article in sufficient depth to be worth retargeting. As such, WP:RDEL #10 applies and we're better off deleting this to encourage creation of an article on this topic. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 15:30, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Schooner Virjen de Covadonga

Useless misspell. Spanish speakers would laugh at any native that made this error. Super Ψ Dro 11:31, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

  • Keep I think a J for a G is a plausible misspell. Good thing this is not the Spanish Misplaced Pages, over here we don't have to deal with this rude hypothetical Spanish speaker. -- Tavix 15:30, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Microsoft Office 2002

This version of Office is little to not referred to as this at all, also, this office suite was released in 2001 and not 2002. Colgatepony234 (talk) 13:34, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Okay never mind, withdraw this redirect discussion because I did not look deeper into the page first and see that everything there is called "2002". Colgatepony234 (talk) 13:42, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

2022 Hoover Dam exposion

implausible search term. 2022 Hoover Dam explosion already exists as a redirect. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:38, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

A.M.U. PUBLIC SR. SEC. SCHOOL

Implausible search term. The school isn't even mentioned in the target article. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:29, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:GAMESOURCES

Since we also have Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Board and table games/Sources, I think this should become a disambig. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:21, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Butter (alchemy)

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

I see no articles listed on the target disambiguation page that relate to the use of butter in alchemy (or things in alchemy called butter), nor is there a section with the header, "Alchemy". BD2412 T 04:46, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

  • Restore DAB page which was later merged into Butter (disambiguation). I haven't researched when/why they were removed. Also note the old RFD that says this should be kept due to the page history, and that Butter of antimony and Butter of arsenic are mentioned in the respective articles, and Butter of antimony & Butter of arsenic are also redirects, so I think it is a valid/useful dab. MB 04:26, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
    There's nothing in the page history preventing deletion. This used to be a dab page with two entries (no descriptions) and before then a stub article consisting of a total of two sentences . Neither is required for attribution: the content isn't found anywhere else on Misplaced Pages, and besides, that dab page was below the threshold of originality, while the article text, as indicated at the end, was copied from a public domain work. Uanfala (talk) 13:15, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
  • I don't think there's anything to disambiguate here (either in a separate page or within the main dab). There are several terms of this form (not just the two above); but it's "Butter of X", and it doesn't appear that any of them would have been referred to as just "butter", so they're classic WP:PTMs. Uanfala (talk) 13:15, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete. Enwiki has nothing generic about compounds in alchemy called butter. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:46, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

French world

I do not think it the redirect describes its current target. This redirect formerly targeted Francophonie prior to it being retargeted to its current target by a bot after Francophonie was blanked-and-redirected towards Organisation internationale de la Francophonie back in 2020 after a brief edit war of sorts.

Delete or disamb - French world is a strange way to describe it.Gusfriend (talk) 09:25, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete: most of the Francophonie is not France. There is no good retarget. As a second choice, DABify as per 64.229.88.43. Veverve (talk) 10:32, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is a plausible search term for someone looking for the parts of the world that have/have had French linguistic and/or cultural heritage (c.f. Francosphere). The lead of the article says it "is an international organization representing countries and regions where French is a lingua franca or customary language, where a significant proportion of the population are francophones (French speakers), or where there is a notable affiliation with French culture." - i.e. exactly what someone will be looking for. There is also a hatnote to Geographical distribution of French speakers. Disambiguating per the IP is my second choice. Thryduulf (talk) 06:58, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep or disambiguate - If kept, I think it should be as an "R to avoid double redirect" to Francosphere. But it would be fine also to disambiguate it per the IP and I think Francosphere could target this DAB page as well. A7V2 (talk) 00:55, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
