- True Jedi meter → Lego Star Wars (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
True Jedi is the amount of studs you have to collect in the Lego Star Wars game level, and is not mentioned in Lego Star Wars. Not sure whether to delete or retarget to the games, but do not retarget to Lego Star Wars: The Video Game, the stud meter was not called True Jedi at the time. OcelotCreeper (talk) 15:12, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
Keep. While not being mentioned on the page, it is only exclusive to the series which is an enteral part to the series.Captain Galaxy (talk) 13:39, 5 June 2020 (UTC)- I change my vote to retarget both to Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga per Not a very active user.

This should probably point somewhere else. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 14:23, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete as ambiguous. I don't think it should point anywhere at all. I've no idea whether it's supposed to refer to HELP:DEFAULTSORT; or indeed to something else altogether. Narky Blert (talk) 21:42, 23 May 2020 (UTC)]
Delete without prejudice against immediate recreation as a valid shortcut to a target that has something to do with mixed case. In general, shortcuts are ambiguous; it's impossible to make a shortcut name completely unambiguous in every case. Hatnotes can be placed at the target if desired, but ambiguity by itself does not block the existence of a shortcut. However, the target should be tagged with {{shortcut}} and should in some way relate to the name of the shortcut. --NYKevin 20:59, 29 May 2020 (UTC)- After a review of What Links Here, I'm changing my !vote to weak retarget to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization)#Software characteristics because the existing usage of this shortcut appears to relate to that specific topic area. But I'm not entirely sure if that's actually the right target... --NYKevin 20:52, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

- I oppose anything that will break the usage of this redirect on talk pages. That means, I oppose deletion (strongly), disambiguation, and retargeting. If there's a problem with this redirect, just add a hatnote at its current target. No need to do anything more complex. --Pandakekok9 (talk) 04:17, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep this is a well-established shortcut that has been pointing to the current location for over a decade, any changes now will needlessly break links and cause confusion reading old discussions. If there are other targets people might be looking for then add them in a hatnote. Thryduulf (talk) 16:24, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect to WP:Redirect#Purposes_of_redirects. The point the OP was probably trying to make is that the internal anchor WP:Redirect#othercapitalization hasn't existed since 2009. The above is the relevant section in the article in its current form. Dan Bloch (talk) 20:10, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

THis has a different target than
Delete per nom. Not worth keeping. --Stay safe, ◊PRAHLADbalaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 23:58, 3 June 2020 (UTC)- Change target to
exclamation markto Negation#Programming language and ordinary language per suggestion below by User:J947 (I expanded the target header and will install a cross namespace hatnote per common practice at articles like conflict of interest).That target article's lead explains that "!A" means "not A".This redirect used to point to exclamation mark, but someone changed it because "the useful content on exclamation mark was deleted" but that content has long been restored. A lot of people encounter the term "!vote" but are never told what the exclamation mark means. Anythingyouwant (talk) 04:29, 4 June 2020 (UTC) - Changing my !vote to retarget per Anythingyouwant above. --Stay safe, ◊PRAHLADbalaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 10:08, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete I don't think that searchers looking for the term "!vote" would necessarily be enlightened by the exclamation mark article. If there were a "Wikipedia" subsection to the "Use in various fields" section that specifically mentioned !vote", then I would agree with the retarget. But generally such explanations are in the "WP:" area, otherwise as the nom. suggests things get to meta. --Bejnar (talk)

- Retarget to Negation#Programming which is probably the most useful target. Add a hatnote to Wikipedia:Polling is not a substitute for discussion#Not-votes since there's going to be a high portion of viewers looking for the Wikipedia sense of the term. — J947 [cont] 22:26, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Not mentioned at the target, an internet search returned results about a location in Pokemon Sun and Moon, but our article about that subject doesn't mention it. I wasn't able to find any sources referring to Poughkeepsie by this name. I would suggest deletion unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 19:02, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget Po-town is a well-used nickname[1][2] in the region, but should probably target for the city, not the town. Cbuccella (talk) 19:33, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Cbuccella: Either way, a sourced reference would be helpful and avoid confusion for those that follow the redirect (especially if it is to target the city not the town). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:45, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

- Retarget to List of WWE pay-per-view and WWE Network events: more likely search term. JTP (talk • contribs) 17:54, 5 June 2020 (UTC)]
- Delete It serves zero purpose. In the history of the page (until it was listed here) the page only was view more than once on one occasion. What does "old" mean here, not a term that is ever used in defining this, so its just random. Plus the correct spelling is "pay-per-view" so its got the typo spelling too. - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk 19:42, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

I don't know exactly what we should do, but the status quo cannot stand.
We have many similar redirects targeting at least three different targets, all in some way related to the defeat of Nazi Germany. This is confusing and either retargeting, deletion, or something else should occur to fix this predicament. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 20:21, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Not mentioned at the target, I can't find any indication that this character unambiguously refers to algebraic numbers (although it doesn't help that Google Scholar interprets this character as a normal A when searching).

- Autopatrolled → Wikipedia:Autopatrolled (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Cross-namespace redirect, these are highly discouraged. If this had links, I wouldn't advocate deleting, but whatlinkshere states that it is linked only on exactly on userpage. This redirected is of a discouraged type, and deleting would not have harmful effects. Hog Farm (talk) 18:32, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. This is one of the exceptions to the general discouragement for these cross-namespace redirects because it is helpful for very new users who aren't yet familiar with the concept of namespaces. This is not a term that is used in any context outside of MediaWiki that I can find, so anyone searching for it is going to be looking for this target and there is no danger of confusion with any encyclopaedic content (if there was there would be an uncontroversial self-ref hatnote). The page view stats show that it is a well-used redirect with 10-30 hits each month this year and over 200 hits last year. Deletion would accordingly making things harder for new users without any significant benefit at all. Thryduulf (talk) 21:20, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per ]
- Comment I doubt that a "very new user" have knowledge about autopatrol while not knowing how to use namespaces. If they knew about autopatrol, a jargon very unlikely to be known by a newbie, they surely also know how to use namespaces. I have no opinion whether to delete this or keep, both of which are harmless in my opinion. Pandakekok9 (talk) 09:51, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

These redirects look inverted to me, just based on Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people). I'd concede that there seems to be roughly equal coverage for both this nick name and the real name, Bernabe Buscayno. But nothing to disproportionately say that his real name is superceded, which is usually the naming convention in Wikipedia. Jontesta (talk) 17:25, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Superfluous redirect with awkward lemma. No backlinks.
- Keep per {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}. There is nothing wrong with this redirect given that the subject is a park that is named "Parque de María Luisa". This is the third(!) time you have nominated this redirect for deletion, this is getting disruptive. -- Tavix (talk) 16:52, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Notwithstanding that this has been stable since 2007, I don't think the article describes what is now known as a "content provider". It may be better if we delete as ambiguous and allow uninhibited Search. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 16:23, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. It's telco industry jargon, but it remains in use: [2]. The line between telcos and the Internet has indeed blurred (is Google a "content provider"?), but then the page should be updated or turned into a redirect, not deleted entirely. Jpatokal (talk) 01:55, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Nothing links to this, and that character doesn't exist on any normal keyboard, so unlikely anyone would search for Engliſh rather than English. If you know what ſ means, then you'll know how to spell English Joseph2302 (ftalk) 09:29, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Joseph2302: ſ is a long s which is an archaic character that stopped use sometime after 1800. Searching in the search bar I believe converts the character to regular s but I wrote the ſ redirects since the URL bar treats "ſ" differently from "s" WhisperToMe (talk) 13:25, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

- Weak delete. The term is a valid one and has been used before, but is anyone today actually going to go out of their way to type "ſ" using a different keyboard layout? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 16:36, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to WP:LEAST. If someone searches this word, it is probable that he/she has found this spelling somewhere and copied it in the search box. It is likely that he/she is looking for the explanation of this spelling rather than searching for "English". If he/she is really searching for "English", the explanation found in Long s will give them the indication for getting the searched article. D.Lazard (talk) 16:53, 11 June 2020 (UTC)]
- Your analogy doesn't work. Long s, as you said is archaic and no longer used practically in this age. WP:PANDORA won't apply to those letters, but it does apply to long s, because you can turn every s that is not the last letter to ſ. Pandakekok9 (talk) 01:16, 12 June 2020 (UTC)]
- WP:PANDORA is misleading nonsense at best. Every redirect is evaluated on its own merits, and if it is useful it is created/kept and if it is not it is deleted (or not created in the first place), this is regardless of what or how many similar redirects do or do not exist. While theoretically any non-final "s" could be replaced with "ſ" in practice there are a finite number of terms including it that are actually used to search for information on the English Wikipedia. Thryduulf (talk) 13:50, 12 June 2020 (UTC)]
- Your analogy doesn't work. Long s, as you said is archaic and no longer used practically in this age.
- Long s in Wikipedia's search box will automatically convert it into normal s. However, it doesn't get converted when put in the browser's address bar, so your argument is valid. Pandakekok9 (talk) 01:20, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep and explicitly strongly oppose retargetting to Long s, both per Tavix. Thryduulf (talk) 21:22, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep It isn't harmful and is at least plausible. Captain Galaxy (talk) 22:57, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

- The redirect saw 40 pageviews from creation to 27 May, so it seems this one is somewhat useful. I don't know though if they came from search results or a click on the Battle of Horain wikilink at Clone trooper#501st Legion.

Misleading redirect that leads a reader to expect an overview article of the many forms of restitution, such as return of Aryanized property, forced labor settlements with private companies, etc., but instead redirects to a specific agreement. Should be deleted to encourage article creation.
- Delete per nom. Holocaust reparations should also be deleted for the same reason. --Pandakekok9 (talk) 06:26, 11 June 2020 (UTC)]

Keep the page butAgree the redirect is misleading. Holocaust restitution is a larger subject than the reparations agreement between Israel and W. Germany alone. I think it would be better to create a stub with the outlines of the relevant areas of this subject rather than deleting it to encourage article creation. I'd be willing to start it. --Chefallen (talk) 20:58, 11 June 2020 (UTC)- Delete the redirects.
Keep theReparation Agreement between Israel and Germany is correctly named. It is an article about a specific Reparations Agreement (i.e., between Israel and Germany) and not an article about reparation agreements in general. Reparations Agreement is too general title for this subject (there are others besides this one that could be covered under the broader topic with definitions, background, history, examples, similarities and differences, results, etc. regarding the subject in general). FYI, I had already moved the titled back to Reparations Agreement between Israel and the Federal Republic of Germany before I saw this discussion. -- Chefallen (talk) 20:58, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete to encourage article creation or stubify per Chefallen. It's a broader topic than this one agreement. Narky Blert (talk) 09:30, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Similar to the recently deleted redirect UberTwitter (RfD), these are redirects to a list article which does not contain any information about the subject of the redirect in question. Other mentions of these applications on Wikipedia, are just that - mentions - and don't represent a useful target, so these should just be deleted. 50.248.234.77 (talk) 05:30, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete all per nom. It's fine for actual articles and substance in the list to have a redirect. But for non-notable applications that aren't mentioned, this is just a tool to manipulate ]

- I think we should just make Whole world a dab page, because a search of "Whole world" in DuckDuckGo and Wikipedia shows up a lot of different results, like The Whole World (a song), or Whole World Theatre.

This redirect suggests that all Filipinos who believe in National Democracy are automatically communists, or fronts for the communist party, even though it is not. This is dangerous as red-tagging is rampant in my country. I suggest retargeting to Communism in the Philippines or which ever is appropriate, as long as the new target doesn't suggest that progressives are communists.

Delete, unless there is an appropriate local page to retarget this to. Sending readers to non-English content is not helpful.

He's mentioned several times in English WP, but the best I can find is the thin mention in WP:BLP1E; but English-language reports of that event would be likely to keep cropping up in the first few pages of a search.
