Wikipedia:Triple redirects → Wikipedia:Double redirects (links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

No such thing. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 22:50, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Umm. Let's say 4 redirects to 3 which redirects to 2 which redirects to 1. Triple redirect. Steel1943 (talk) 22:55, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Steel1943: Interesting concept, but not sure if the project space will ever mention it, see User:Champion/Redirect test. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 00:38, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Champion: Yeah, who knows. With that being said, I just wanted to point out that the subject of the redirect could exist, the current target is probably the best target for it ... but, I'm honestly neutral if it remains or not. Steel1943 (talk) 02:02, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Steel, a more extreme form of double redirect, and they clearly exist in article space, since I hit them sometimes. -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 05:33, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep I'd say delete if it were in mainspace, but don't mind
setting a higher bar for non-user-facing pages. A triple redirect is essentially just a double-double redirect and doesn't really need special treatment beyond what a regular double redirect gets, though I think some or all double-redirect bots can't fix them? See, it would really help if someone spelled that out. --BDD (talk) 18:20, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply

Double redirects → Redirect (links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

...And the current target is a disambiguation page, so unless everything on there can also be called a "double redirect", the redirect could be misleading. Steel1943 (talk) 23:55, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per
WP:XY. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 06:22, 10 March 2016 (UTC)[reply

Redirect to Threshold potential, for which it is a synonym. Action potential is the more general topic, of which a threshold of electric potential is a particular aspect, so redirecting to the direct synonym is the better choice. --Mark viking (talk) 12:26, 10 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Threshold potential, exactly per Mark viking. There actually is a section of Action potential, Action potential#Stimulation and rising phase, which paradoxically deals directly with the subtopic where the threshold potential applies, but which does not even link to it, because it is discussed earlier at Action potential#Process in a typical neuron. Thus, redirecting to AP is unhelpful to readers, whereas redirecting to TP is exactly appropriate, as an alternative name for the same thing. --Tryptofish (talk) 17:41, 10 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:XY issue. Steel1943 (talk) 17:09, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply

- Your comment makes me realize that what I said was not as clear as I intended it to be. My exposition about the action potential page was not intended as an argument that targeting there would be just as good. Rather, I was attempting to convey the reasons it would be both complicated and potentially unhelpful to readers. Sorry if that wasn't clear. So let me say very clearly that Threshold potential is the ideal target. And furthermore, some readers probably will start looking under the redirect name, so WP:Redirects are cheap and it would be helpful to those readers not to delete it. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:03, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Black gold (liquid) → Petroleum (links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Yeah, I know black gold refers to petroleum, but is this the best target? I associate the term with the Beverly Hillbillies more than with oil.

Delete It could refer to coffee as well. It is probably best to delete this redirect and have reader searches just go to the Black gold disambiguation page. --Mark viking (talk) 12:32, 10 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to Black Gold or possibly Black Gold#Commodities. -©2016 Compassionate727^{(Talk)(Contributions)} 14:21, 10 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
retarget to black gold disambiguation page, which lists liquids -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 05:19, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. We redirect
incomplete disambiguations such as "(film)" or "(footballer)" to the disambiguation page because it's highly likely that someone would either a) create a duplicate article at at that title or b) search using the disambiguator because they know there's a footballer or film by that name. In this case, "(liquid)" is not an intuitive disambiguator, so we don't have to worry about that problem here. I don't think it's plausible that someone would search using this specific disambiguator, so there's no value in keeping it. -- Tavix ^(talk) 15:39, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply

I'm inclined to think that Graduate programs in religion should be reverted to the article version and moved to Graduate education in religion and then expanded.--Jahaza (talk) 16:04, 10 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - These redirects are engaging in a kind of 'false advertising', since we don't have pages that detail how graduate programs work in those areas, and
