WP:CSD#G6 special Neelix clause, I do not think we need to have another debate about these. JohnCD (talk) 20:53, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply

This Neelix redirect has the same problem as Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion#Red_grey, because seal brown does not have red in it. I also nominate these redirects for the same reason:

The subject of the redirect is not mentioned at target. Steel1943 (talk) 21:41, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. (I added the section to which this links.) The brief text, but not the section title, was introduced in May 2011 by an IP with this edit and removed about a month later with this one, with the comment "Moving to

Deletion isn't always to encourage creation. If the topic is notable, it's good to have coverage of it, even if it's a permastub. If it's not, and users keep creating it, we can salt it. --BDD (talk) 13:52, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects containing the phrase "world conflicts"

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 delete. The rough consensus is that there aren't unambiguously suitable targets for any of these redirects. Deryck C. 21:27, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is misleading to assume that "world conflict" means "armed conflict", especially since the word "conflict" is ambiguous and since World conflict and World conflicts do not exist to help identify the term "world conflict". Steel1943 (talk) 20:14, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I think that's what most people mean, and if there's no second possible redirect target, I think these are fine. (If there were, we could turn these into disambiguation pages.) -- Beland (talk) 21:21, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Steel1943: Mmm, "world conflicts" sounds more like "armed conflicts currently raging around the world" whereas "world conflict" could mean "world war" as opposed to "regional war". Or at least those are the connotations I get, which could vary from person to person. No one has ever bothered to put anything at "world conflict", and I think that's a sign that it's not really something people search for. I wouldn't go out of our way to create speculative links, so unless someone comes along and says "I searched for this (or could imagine myself doing so on a groggy Saturday) and didn't find what I wanted" I would just leave it empty for now. -- Beland (talk) 22:21, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects containing "conflict" without a non-time descriptive adjective

talk page or in a deletion review

The result of the discussion was no consensus. The strongest argument to delete is that these redirects "inhibit search" but I can find no evidence that they actually do so and there is at least one comment below explicitly arguing that they would be an aid to search.

Trump Train

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 delete. There is certainly some disagreement but it wouldn't be right to ignore the strong majority here favouring deletion. Relisting attracted little extra participation in the debate so the original rough consensus to delete is enacted. Deryck C. 15:10, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Google search reveals little use of the term, I don't think this redirect is needed. Laber□T 22:57, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, that's red and always has been; so is Trump train wreck. Si Trew (talk) 05:20, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
A ha ha! So edgy. You must be proud of yourself for that one. (Seriously, I'm not seeing your comment for anything other than a childish attempt at disparaging Trump's campaign for no apparent point. There's a reason why contentious issues like religion or politics are off-limits for these kinds of petty "jokes".) Satellizer (´ ･ ω ･ `) 01:12, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
^^^No sense of humor... Watching the news and comedy shows must be super tough for you. Legacypac (talk) 01:31, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Lol, my response was done in a half-joking manner. It's not like I'm personally offended or anything. (The smalltext was later added to prevent some tool misinterpreting it as a personal attack against you). That being said, I keep my humor in situations that ask for it - or would you not mind if I dropped Bernie loves Free Shit!!! quips all over Sanders-related discussions? Satellizer (´ ･ ω ･ `) 01:43, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I took it as a serious suggestion and thought Legacypac had just mistyped. I'm all for injecting a bit of lightheartedness into discussions, but I just didn't get this one. Si Trew (talk) 08:19, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Whose twitter feed is that? HighInBC 04:26, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@gov is Twitter's government and elections team. It's an official Twitter account. - Eureka Lott 04:55, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
A twitter hashtag is no more a real term than SimonTrew or EurekaLott; anyway that is #TrumpTrain not "Trump Train". We don't have the others on that Twitter poll, CruzCrew, TeamMarco or Kasich4Us, nor do we have spaced variants; and neither should we. Si Trew (talk) 05:24, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That being said, we do have {{R from hashtag}}. -- Tavix (talk) 15:36, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think it represents the momentum/support of his campaign. So it's not a physical thing like some of his products and structures. But it might be one day, there could be a train named after him or a famous artwork, who knows? Even if that doesn't happen we should still have it do to its significant usage, here it is in two more headlines since this discussion started [7], [8]. Wickypedoia (talk) 21:22, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Really? I took it to mean a train company that quickly went out of business. HighInBC 21:38, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well, our article at train wreck is for the literal sense (train crash in British English) and we have train wreck (disambiguation) to mention the metaphorical. I have not seen "train wreck" (or "train crash") used in Britain in its metaphorical sense, but I'm aware of that meaning and didn't think it meant that Trump had somehow been involved in a railroad collision. But I don't see that it makes a good redirect unless there are specific references to Trump or his campaign being a metaphorical train wreck. Si Trew (talk) 08:10, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, I though it was like many other things with "Trump" in front of it and that it was a failed business. HighInBC 15:34, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, a "train" to mean something following has shades of meaning from the literal to abstract metaphor, so it seems a reasonable bit of
    WP:NEOLOGISM). Si Trew (talk) 08:13, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply

  • Comment Not sure how this got relisted, the consensus seemed rather obvious to me. I would like to reiterate that I don't think this is a likely redirect and that I stand by my opinion that it should be deleted. I do this because the only reason I can think of for this to be relisted is if the closer thought I and others were somehow not aware of the arguments made here? HighInBC 15:33, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • I didn't think there was consensus first time round, so to me it was sensible to relist.
WP:RFD#D2 confusing, as deminstrated above, where other editors thought it might be a real train (and why not? Plenty of campaigners get trains, Battle bus(s)es or bandwagons). Si Trew (talk) 09:08, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply
]
I'm an idiot, that is because it is just referencing a nonexistent section in this same page, duh. Nice to see that they don't call them poundtags, though. Si Trew (talk) 11:00, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep This is indeed a sort of nickname for his campaign, but this would be a better redirect if mentioned at the target article. Compare to Clean for Gene, for example. I'm tentatively comfortable with it as an {{
    R without mention}} just because it's really a synonym. If someone tells you to "get on the Trump Train", they're saying to support the campaign. --BDD (talk) 19:18, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply

The result of the discussion was retarget to List of Unix systems. --BDD (talk) 19:10, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't get how it may refer to Unix, more likely could be the DABs at Unic or Unice but implausible for either. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 09:40, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to List of Unix systems - to some geeks, the plural of Unix is "Unices" (like matrix -> matrices). I'm adding List of Unixes to this nom as well, I find it bewildering why the "list of" redirects go to the article and not the list. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:35, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Generally, because the list was deleted as some point and redirected to the article to stop it showing as a red-link, and was then recreated at the List of... name once fresh sources came along. ‑

Yeah, you're probably right, there's no need for us to have a violent conflict – sorry, war – over it. I only listed it really as part of the tidying up of the various combat/conflict redirects, there are bigger fish to fry. Withdrawn without prejudice. Si Trew (talk) 20:43, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete Having looked at a few of the references listed in the AFD, it's clear to me that none of them actually had explanations beyond "since God created the universe, he created gravity as well." Other than that I cannot find anything that goes beyond prescientific "things fall to earth because it is their nature to do so," which is hardly religious; History of gravitational theory mentions a few ancient musings on the matter, none of which have any relationship to religion. the redirect as an alternative to deletion that should have failed in the face of more complete research.
