July 22

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on July 22, 2024.

Electronic entertainment

The concept is not exclusive to its target. First exceptions that come to mind are Television and Film. Steel1943 (talk) 21:35, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Game trading

Not exclusive to Video game. Could refer to any subtopic of Game with a physical (or heck, some virtual/digital in today's world) representation. Steel1943 (talk) 21:32, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Computer and video game distinction

At the present time, Computer game redirects to Video game. For this reason, there is no distinction by default, so leading readers to any article via this phrase can be seen as misleading. Steel1943 (talk) 21:31, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Home computer game

Not sure if these redirects should be retained at their current target or be retargeted to Video game. Per the result of Misplaced Pages:Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 May 5#Computer game, Computer game was retargeted away from PC game and to Video game. Considering the current states of the articles Home computer and Personal computer ("PC" in the current target), it does not seem as though the usage of the phrase "home computer" exclusively refers to "personal computer". Steel1943 (talk) 21:11, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Multiplayer Online Adventure Game

The word "adventure" is nowhere in the target article, leaving it unclear what this redirect is meant to refer or define. Steel1943 (talk) 20:51, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Online multi-player gamers

This redirect seems vague/unclear, specifically since the redirect uses the word "gamers" instead of "games", as well as the word "online". Between several topics including the current target, Multiplayer video game, Massively multiplayer online game, Gamer and/or subtopics, amongst others, it does not seem clear where this redirect should target, if anywhere. Steel1943 (talk) 20:36, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Land 2

wouldn't it be wacky if "land" was a common word in game boy game titles, "2" was a common number in game sequels, and there were at least 2 other games with both of them? cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 20:00, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

off the top of my head, i can name
i don't know if this could be deleted as a vague search or dabified, unless someone wants to see if there's a sequel to the concept of land cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 20:04, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Priestess

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

Re-target to Ordination of women. This is for consistency with Female priest, as agreed upon at Talk:Priestess_(disambiguation)#Requested_move_25_August_2023. Discussion of the other redirect occurred at Misplaced Pages:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2023_September_15#Female_priest. There are concerns about the appropriateness of the current target to house a section for the target of this redirect. See Talk:Priest#Priestesses. 174.92.25.207 (talk) 19:59, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

"Super Mario Bros. 35"

overuse of quotation marks is a tony zaret thing. this is apparently the result of a botched move cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 19:50, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete as G7 - oh yeah, totally my mistake when I created the article and moved it to the right title. If I was admin I would have moved without leaving a redirect. I'm the only revision so totally should be a quick G7. Ben · Salvidrim! ✉ 21:36, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Assassination of Donald Trump

This has twice been deleted as an attack page, once by Liz and once by Isabelle Belato. While it does impute a motive to the gunman, it also strikes me as a plausible redirect. Hence my taking it here for further discussion as to a correct outcome. If deletion is decided to be appropriate I would suggest the page be salted. Barkeep49 (talk) 19:09, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

I would say Delete as "Assassination of Donald Trump" would imply an actual assassination; But I could also got for Keep with caveat to mark the redirect with {{R from non-neutral name}} →AzaToth 19:58, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Sącz dialect

Not found at target article. Bgsu98 (Talk) 19:08, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Delete and speedy. This whole region is very complicated dialectally and in terms of terminology, and so things had to change. Vininn126 (talk) 19:11, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Lebanese Forces Cross

Not found at target article. Bgsu98 (Talk) 19:00, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Calls for Joe Biden to suspend his 2024 United States presidential campaign

List of Democrats who opposed the Joe Biden 2024 presidential campaign might be a better target. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 18:45, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Vocal minority

this term is the exact opposite of the article it links to -- FMSky (talk) 18:30, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Keep and add special Rcat. Catching the opposite of something is a valid reason to create a redirect pointing to the opposite of the redirect (for as long as we don't have an article about it specifically). However, we usually tag such redirects with {{R from opposite}} to improve reverse loopup capabilities, and this is what we should do here as well. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 19:34, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Varsity (upcoming film)

I have no idea what the idea is behind this redirect but in my opinion it is useless The Banner talk 16:55, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

I created Varsity (upcoming film), someone else separately created Prime Target (TV series). It is my understanding that these are for the same production, and Prime Target is the correct title for broadcast. Hildreth gazzard (talk) 17:03, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Move to Varsity (TV series) per Cyclone. 88.235.215.238 (talk) 18:36, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Power flower

things named "power flower" have been in three mario games so far (though they're all different things), and none of them seem to be the primary target for the term cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 17:33, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

North West Leicestershire by-election, 2010

Never happened. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 22:50, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

  • Did the preparations for the by-election actually start? The Banner talk 11:19, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
    AIUI formal preparations can only start once the writ for the election has been issued (which it never was), but it is very likely that at least some informal ones were. Given that those same preparations would have just become preparations for the general election when that was called, and most of them wouldn't have been newsworthy I'm not sure how you'd go about ascertaining, especially at this distance. Thryduulf (talk) 16:59, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
    The by-election should have been within four months after vacating the seat, if I read it correct. That would bring the by-election to the end of April 2010 (roughly). That makes it more than likely that the by-election was effectively cancelled due to the upcoming general election. So in my opinion, it makes sense to retarget to 2010 United Kingdom general election The Banner talk 18:07, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Template:Simbad link

Unnecessary creation of a redirect that merits deletion. Intrisit (talk) 16:08, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

  • Keep, no valid reason given for deletion.
21 Andromedae (talk) 17:41, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Keep. I don't find it too far-fetched that someone will only capitalise the first letter. Procyon117 (talk) 19:08, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Active worlds in the Solar System

not the biggest volcano nerd out there, so sorry in advance for any uninformed claims, but from reading the target and other related articles, there seem to be no other celestial bodies that meet the criteria of being a "world", currently having volcanic activity, and being in the solar system, though mercury is a strong "maybe". on another note, i'm not entirely sure "active world" is a term used to refer to volcanic activity, and the creator of the redirect (who seems to have made it as an essay) seemed to have also been referring to geysers, and counting moons as "worlds". for results. wikipedia gave me an mmo (shoutouts to hitomi fujiko), google gave me assorted apps and brands, and wiktionary gave me nothing. unless there's a detail i'm missing or this is a scientific term that refers to celestial bodies with volcanic activity, i'll vote for deletion cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 17:07, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

on this note, i should mention "volcanically active worlds", a redirect that specifies the type of activity it refers to and does not specify the location. jury's still out on the definition of world though, but it's a step in the right direction cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 17:16, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
Is there a better redirect at this time as is this not a redirect with potential.?
Jury is out on definition of volcano as noted in the article itself and presumably meaning of world. Planet and moon are more accurate terms. Many "worlds" are active in some way as they are above absolute zero and may have internal or external entropy sources that disturb their surface however that is defined. Someone could get a good article out of this so my vote is to retain in hope someone will do the job, unless there is a better redirect. ChaseKiwi (talk) 17:56, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
drifting into personal opinion territory by now, but wouldn't returning to red be better for that? cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 18:05, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
I think "Active worlds" is too ambiguous to justify keeping "Active worlds in the Solar System" as a redirect to Volcano#Volcanoes on other celestial bodies. I also have not found any other suitable redirect targets because the problem is the lack of meaning in the redirect's title rather than a problem with any targets of the redirect. I recommend delete. GeoWriter (talk) 11:49, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Vice President Vance

This is misleading. Vance is currently not the Vice President nor has he ever been the Vice President. Pages like this for candidates who have been VP were not created until after the election. Wozal (talk) 15:42, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Keep Redirects are not required to be neutral (WP:RNEUTRAL) and the article explains that he is a nominee in the first sentence. This redirects helps confused readers get correct information. Ca 16:10, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Delete. He is only a nominee for vice president. If he becomes vice president, then fair enough. But not right now. Procyon117 (talk) 19:10, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Scared Silly

normally a little vague, but as a name, it seems more primarily associated with an open season movie cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 16:03, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

  • Weak DABify - This is the title of the first episode of The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald, and also for the movie Open Season: Scared Silly. I'm uncertain if the Open Season movie is the WP:PTOPIC for the phrase "Scared Silly" specifically, and google shows that it's the title of more things as well, such as a children's novel by Elizabeth Eulberg (no wiki-page), a picture book by Marc Brown (author) (very famous author), a stage play by Peter Bloedel (probably not notable), and likely many more... as this is a common English expression as well! Google does show the movie a bit more prominently than the other entries, mind you, so the PTOPIC argument can certainly be made, but that's why my DABify !vote is weak. Although I will say, if a PTOPIC is established, a disambiguation page should probably be made alongside it and hatnoted. Fieari (talk) 06:28, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Paper Bowser

no game under that title yet (give them time), wouldn't the list of paper mario characters be a better target? cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 20:20, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

oh wait
there's no section specifically for bowser there, and his article doesn't mention him in paper mario beyond "he was there". forget retargeting, i vote to delete as unhelpful cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 20:51, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
Delete. Keeping under the idea that they might make a game with that title is pointless WP:CRYSTAL-gazing, and unfounded to boot. As it stands now, we have no information at all regarding Bowser's inclusion in the Paper Mario series, nor any other place where something might be known as 'Paper Bowser'.

FX (African TV channel)

Since Rosguill saw no worth in having content for this title out of GNG concerns, I've listed it here for a possible deletion. Intrisit (talk) 15:17, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

The Economic Times (India)

Requesting deletion of unnecessary redirect created in 2013. Intrisit (talk) 14:35, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Keep Readers may believe there be multiple publication with the name "The Economic Times", and add a natural-looking disambiguator (India) to disambiguate it. Seems clear and useful to me. Ca 16:12, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

All-Star Batman and Robin

all-star batman and robin is a different goddamn comic from all star batman & robin, the goddamn boy wonder, but its only meaningful goddamn mention is in the goddamn list of batman comics, and the goddamn results seem to give goddamn priority to all star batman & robin, the goddamn boy wonder. should they be goddamn retargeted to the goddamn list of batman comics, or are they goddamn fine as is? cogsan (goddamn talk page) (goddamn contribs) 13:12, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Leica MD-2

Right now only seems to be mentioned in Leica M1. 1234qwer1234qwer4 10:28, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

  • Keep. The redirect points to the M4 article, because the Leica MD-2 is a simplified derivative of the Leica M4-2. I have added a sentence about it including a reference to the article. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 18:36, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Republican blue

Huh? * Pppery * it has begun... 05:40, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

those sound more like pokémon fangames than political terms. delete per "what" cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 13:58, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Delete I searched on duck.com and saw no sources using this term. Best I found is Ron Paul 2012 presidential campaign § "Blue Republican" movement Ca 16:16, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Safe state

Dubious primacy - searching for "safe state" is giving me lots of non-political ways a state can be safe. Suggest deletion unless a better target is found. * Pppery * it has begun... 05:38, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

delete as vague, as it's also subject to varying definitions of "state". could refer to a move in a fighting game being plus on block for all we know cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 14:00, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Apple reinvents the phone.

Unlikely search term. This appears to be the official slogan of the iPhone. Mia Mahey (talk) 05:01, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Bullitt (album)

There is also Bullitt (soundtrack), and this redirect is too confusing. saebou (talk) 11:41, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
