The result of the discussion was keep. Withdrawing, specifically due to being an R from move (without a tag); the AfD discussion implies the article was here for two years. If this was created today, deletion is a lot more viable, however there's a good number of old links here presumably.

• List of common emoticons → List of emoticons  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

A lot of this list is anything but common, an otherwise subjective and strange adjective to attach to a list, especially when "common" is not particularly definable as this can vary from person to person and community to community. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 04:46, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, there may be some on this page that are not common, but the common emoticons are also here, and this is the benefit of redirects. Also the article literally starts with "This is a list of commonly used emoticons". Kk.urban (talk) 05:09, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Fair catch on the article opener; it's now been removed: the title describes the list's purpose as a "list of emoticons", so the first sentence should be "this is a list of emoticons". Commonality is not the deciding factor. The article also contains long emoticons, and short emoticons, and fancy emoticons, and silly emoticons that can be described several ways forward and back. That does not make this particular adjective any more ideal of a classifier. At least people can possibly agree what short and long is; "common" can be defined thousands of different ways and none of which are accurate to the current contents. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 05:15, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Someone looking for a list of common emoticons will find them at the target. That they will also find uncommon ones is neither here nor there. Thryduulf (talk) 12:04, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep It is unlikely we would create a separate list for "common" emoticons because, as the nominator themself says, "common" is not particularly definable. We might as well point readers who do search for such a list to the appropriate article. -

• Keep, this is a 2009-era R from move (specifically, circa Feb. 4, 2009). The article opener describing the list as a "list of common emoticons" was an artifact left over from 15 years ago.

The result of the discussion was Refine to the Lenny Face entry. Jay 💬 06:58, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Le Lenny Face → List of emoticons  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Is not referred to as "Le Lenny Face" anywhere at the target article. The grammatical article of "le" obfuscates the search term and is as useful as attaching "the" to any subject (i.e. not that useful). Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 04:41, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep. This is a name for ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) -- an emoticon that does appear on the list. Not entirely certain how much precedent there is for appending "Le-" to the front, though. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 09:26, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. Well, in that case, updating to Weak refine to List_of_emoticons#Lenny_Face to match those. If we keep this, it might as well go right to the emoticon actually described as a Lenny Face. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 13:34, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody has made an argument for keeping the "le-" version, Lunamann says above that they don't know how much precedent the "le-" has while saying "if we keep this". Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 19:36, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

True. In terms of reasons to keep it - in both of the sources cited for Lenny Face in List of emoticons#Lenny Face, it is acknowleged as being "le lenny face". But in terms of reasons to delete it - it looks like most of the existing 'le' redirects out there either exist for reasons related to French or are blatantly RFD-worthy shitpost redirects. 🔥HOTm̵̟͆e̷̜̓s̵̼̊s̸̜̃🔥 (talk・edits) 23:22, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Eastern-style emoticon → Emoticon#Japanese style  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

No mention of "eastern" nor "eastern-style" emoticons that are named in this specific way at the target page. There is also no "Japanese style" section at the target page. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 04:05, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Thread emoji → Emoticon#Unicode  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

No mention of threads at the target article. Any emoji can be used in a thread, and is not automatically an emoticon. The refinement of Unicode is also not particularly specific to threads either. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 04:04, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. The section redirected to does pertain to emoji-- specifically, pointing out that a subset of emoji, the ones depicting faces, are referred to as "emoticons". However, as nom points out, nothing on this entire page pertains to 'threads', except perhaps the idea elsewhere on the page that certain emoticons/kaomoji come from 4chan or 2channel. (Emoticons/kaomoji, for the record, that are not emoji, and thus don't pertain to the section being redirected to.) (9_9) 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 12:05, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Restore this version of Awesome Face and retarget Awesome face to it, without prejudice to AfD. I don't know that deletion is inevitable, as if sourceable it might make sense to merge it to Smiley (not a question for RfD). Thryduulf (talk) 12:36, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Hm. Y'know, I don't think I'd normally be opposed to this. However...

  Noteably, the article (proto-article?) shown doesn't link to any sources, but does describe a few pages regarding the Awesome Face. Unfortunately, while researching in order to find them, I came across... this. The current Know Your Meme article on this topic has a near word for word copy of this proto-article as part of their own article on the subject, with most deviations from it probably able to be chalked up to the fact that our version was BLAR'd 12 years ago, while KYM's was updated and worked on. I don't want to say that KYM copied from us-- it's just as likely that this is copying KYM.

  If this article gets restored, it won't just need sources, it will require a complete rewrite in order to evade accusations of plagiarism. (At the very least, KYM has all of the sources implied by our version of the article.) 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 13:11, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Delete. Given that the article content would be speedily deletable as a copyright violation (KYM is not freely licensed so it's not something attribution can fix) there is nothing to restore. Thryduulf (talk) 14:22, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• This is a synonym of Awesome Face, so if that is restored (as I recommend at #Awesome Face) then this should be retargetted to it. Thryduulf (talk) 12:45, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Given this was originally a redirect to Awesome Face and then got retargeted to Emoticon as an {{R from avoided double redirect}}, I'm Supporting Thryduulf on this one, in that if Awesome Face is restored or rewritten, this should be retargeted to it. That said, given what I brought up, I'm not so sure that will happen, so, barring that, delete. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 13:26, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Japanese Emotions → Emoticon  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Japanese emotions are not purely "emoticons", even if some emoticons are Japanese. Misleading and unhelpful redirect, not discussed anywhere at the target page. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 03:37, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Kaomoji, a Japanese emoticon-link art form that predates modern emoticons, was on (very old, c. 2006) versions of emoticon, and likely was the intended subject of this title. Bernanke's Crossbow (talk) 21:24, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Google tells me that Graemlin is a computer model - "General and robust alignment of multiple large interaction networks" but I don't understand enough of results to say more. Whatever it is though it's not related to emoticons. Thryduulf (talk) 12:48, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Battle of Monocracy → Battle of Monocacy  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This redirect appears to be an attempt at a pun disguised as a typo implying the battle was somehow related to monocracy, which it was not. Delete. Mdewman6 (talk) 01:16, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep This is not a pun or typo, but a common misspelling/mishearing/misremembering of the name that is used in multiple independent sources. For example, [2], [3], [4] (first picture caption), [5] (fourth picture caption), [6], [7] ("About this item"), [8] and plenty more. Thryduulf (talk) 12:58, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect might need a new target. Important because it is used in the {{

• Create content here as suggested on the talk page by LilianaUwU and Sawyer-mcdonell this could be a disambig, list or overview article. Thryduulf (talk) 15:21, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Make it an actual page. This could very well be a summary of terrorism in Israel like Terrorism in the United States is. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 15:47, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Disambig for now, to be turned into an overview article - terrorism in Israel is certainly a notable topic with RS, and I agree with Liliana that it can be a standalone article. Also, there has been terrorism in Israel unrelated (or not directly related) to the I-P conflict, so readers aren't getting a full picture of the topic from the redirect. I have some concerns about NPOV with the redirect target as well, and creating a content page would help. sawyer * he/they * talk 19:07, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:REDYES argument for deletion. Alternatively, disambiguation has been proposed but it's not entirely clear which articles would be listed on such a disambiguation page.
