  • Keep - The user has chimed in, and the page in its current form appears to be their preference for their userpage. While every namespace is part of the project and belongs to the community in a certain sense, as I stated before: leeway is given on certain things within a users own userspace. Striken per the user which whom the page belongs comment below and taking Paine Ellsworth comments into consideration.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 03:26, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete extremely harmful. People going to the userpage would then get bounced to the main portal, and then pressing [talk] to leave a talk page message to this user will end up having it in the wrong place -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 05:47, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Demographics of Africa. --BDD (talk) 02:21, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

African people is not just about the

native ethnic groups, it has to do with the people who live in Africa or descend from any of the continent's populations. For example, there are African people of European descent and Category:African people of Asian descent. That said, I request that this redirect should be retargeted to Demographics of Africa or dabified to include Demographics of Africa as well as many other pages such as Black people that are related to African people. Stanleytux (talk) 19:05, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply
]

Comment I was just explaining that Native ethnic groups of Africa isn't the only the topic relating to African people on the English wiki. A disambiguation page will list the other topics that are associated with this topic. The dab European people is a similar case. Stanleytux (talk) 07:50, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Exactly; a dab will merely list topics. It will not explain the relationship between them, nor will any of the listed pages. It is better to have an article that is a stub, even, then to have a disambiguation page that hints at an important concept but fails to cover it or point to any coverage of it. Compare

  • keep until an article is written. The target is relevant to the topic, and is better than nothing. Disambiguation is not really better for reasons already given above. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:31, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to
    Americo-Liberians descent from Africans but their culture originates in 19th-century North America. As for the African diaspora, they are spread worldwide but several of them have no more connection to the continent than a distant ancestry. The article Black people can't be properly connected to Africa alone, since it also covers groups such as Indigenous Australians due to their skin color.

Siuenti, let's face it these are coming in droves of "how"s "why"s and "information about"s. We don't need the whys and wherefores, are trying to be a proper encylopaedia. We don't put "how to" or "why" in front of ever article title or we have a combinatorial explosion which does not help readers to search as they have to drift through countless redirects on their search only to end up at the same target. Add little to little and you have a big heap, as Ovid said. These do not help but hinder a search: that is what the search engine is for. Si Trew (talk) 22:40, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Google results tell me this person was Toby Keith's "longtime bassist" until his death, not long before this redirect was created. But he's not mentioned at Keith's article, and looking over the personnel of Keith's albums, there were usually other bassists. It does look like Goff co-wrote some of Keith's songs, but I'm thinking he's either notable or he's not. BDD (talk) 18:13, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How would November Yankee astonish anyone when they arrive at a DAB explaining its various uses? If they don't, the remedy is to make the DAB better, not to delete the R to it. Si Trew (talk) 00:26, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
For it to not be astonishing if it redirected to NY (disambiguation) would require assuming the prerequisite that our readers have an initiate understanding and awareness of the existence of NATO phonetic alphabet.

This is U+1F4F5 📵 NO MOBILE PHONES. Driving safety is but one reason among many to forbid mobile phones. There is no appropriate target, so delete. Gorobay (talk) 14:12, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's irrelevant how or whether the glyph is rendered: we can't and shouldn't guess what fonts people use (or if e.g. they are using a blind reader). As redirects on the whole these emoji are harmless if they go to the right target; but in this case it doesn't. So... Si Trew (talk) 05:51, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per
    WP:RFD#D5 makes no sense. I see a weak retarget to section Etiquette in technology#Cell phone etiquette, I guess, but there are óther places where, in some jurisdictions, mobile phones by law must not be used, so it's not just a matter of etiquette... petrol station forecourts, aeroplanes, and so on (as Gorobay originally implied but did not enumerate, and I'm not sure we want an article on it since it will vary considerably by jurisdiction). Si Trew (talk) 05:47, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply
    ]

Retarget to Etiquette in technology#Cell phone etiquette per Si Trew. Can't seem to find a better target at the time being. It's problematic redirecting this to a driving topic specifically (not to say it's disallowed everywhere while driving) because there are other places phone usage isn't allowed.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 05:50, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, BDD (talk) 13:54, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As Si Trew says, retargeting is inappropriate because there are many reasons to ban cell phones other than etiquette. Gorobay (talk) 14:35, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good retarget find, Si, but I disagree this time (surprise!) - I think that "etiquette" and "prohibition" are far apart in terms of meaning, but also not exactly opposites. The glyph certainly implies cell phones prohibited (it's called "no mobile phones") but etiquette does not imply prohibition. I prefer deletion for this one. (As I noted above - no duplicate !vote) Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:52, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • I struck it above but my Delete notvote in doing so seems to have got lost.

The result of the discussion was no consensus, default to keep. Deryck C. 10:25, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Given that this redirect's current target is a disambiguation page, I don't feel that this redirect is appropriate since it leads the reader to think that both the phrase is ambiguous, and that the terms "piece of junk" and "junk" are synonymous. From my experiences, the term "junk" in this phrase refers to waste or scrap, but this phrase more relates to a broken item, so I'm not sure there is any good target for this phrase.

  • Comment "
    Piece_of_shit redirects to "shit" and "piece of junk" is a synonym for "piece_of_shitt" when that is applied to inanimate objects. And the article "shit" covers the term "piece_of_shit" -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 06:01, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply

  • Keep. Even though I've dabified the Junk page a bit and mentioned the phrase in the Waste-linked entry, I'm still torn between leaving this redirect as is vs. retargeting to the Waste article. The latter might be confusing to readers, so I lean somewhat toward the former. – Paine  17:51, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
(Off topic) Ha, I didn't know we had {{
-r}} as a shortcut: I've been surprised that I had to type the longwinded {{no redirect}} all the time. That's handy to know. Si Trew (talk) 05:13, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply

You're not alone. I went through a long period where I linked to the URL, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:abcxyz&redirect=no abcxyz] before I even found the {{
-r}} takes a display parameter: {{-r|Redirect title|Your title choice}} displays as Your title choice. – Paine  14:28, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply

resolved problems and notes regarding the nomination
  • Comment. re the AWB request, actually I'd be happier if you keep this one as a test case, and then list all the others if we get consensus: I'm not sure a bulk listing is a good idea here.
Wikipédia:Accueil principal has come up before (but not Accueil on its own): most recently at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2014_April_1#Wikipédia:Accueil_principal. In fact been deleted three times in Spring 2010 and twice in the first half of 2014, but perhaps editors' opinions were influenced by it being in a non-English namespace anyway.
German Hauptseite came up some three weeks later (Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2014_April_26#Hauptseite) and that was closed with no consensus.
Since these two have different outcomes I am not sure we have much general consensus on these. I think there have been discussions for redirects to the main page from other languages, but my search is not being very co-operative. Other editors often do better.

@
TheChampionMan1234: I'm so glad you made that into a list, it made it super easy for me to add the whole list to the nomination in about 5 minutes. I copy and pasted the list into excel, found and replaced every instance of the string " (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs | views)", leaving just the redirect on each line (all in column A). Then I pasted {{subst:rfd2|multi=yes|redirect=RedirectName2|target=TargetArticle2}} into B1, replaced TargetArticle2 with Main Page and removed RedirectName2. I actually split this into two columns at this point, splitting it after "redirect=". Defining A1 as the redirect itself, B1 as the first half of {{rfd2}} and C1 as the second half of {{rfd2}}, I created a concatenate function in D1 (=CONCATENATE(B1,A1,C1)). I pull the column down, copy and pasted column D into this thread, and now they're all added. -- Tavix (talk) 14:29, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply

Delete as confusing because the album is not untitled. Self titling an album doesn't make it "untitled", it just has the same name as the band/artist. Note: if the album is known as "untitled", the article doesn't mention it as such. For example Blink-182 (album) is also known as "untitled" and the article makes that clear. -- Tavix (talk) 00:12, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Redirects beginning with "Untitled" should generally be deleted, except in certain cases such as the Blink182's, which Tarvix mentioned above.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 04:32, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • FWIW, Untitled NOFX album exists as a redirect because I moved the article from that title 4 years ago. There is an old discussion at Talk:NOFX (2011 EP)#Article title about whether the release is titled NOFX or is untitled. In either case I don't think it very likely that a reader would type "untitled NOFX album" as a search term, and there are plenty of other ways for them to find their way to the article (NOFX discography, and {{NOFX}} at the bottom of every NOFX-related article), so I have no particular objection to the redirect being deleted. --IllaZilla (talk) 07:33, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
