August 17[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on August 17, 2015.

Other government types[edit]

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. Just Chilling (talk) 03:09, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect isn't very helpful since it doesn't specify what it is "other" than. Rather misleading. Steel1943 (talk) 23:44, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hypothetical scenario here: Let's say I'm a reader who is currently viewing the article Government, but after reading the article, I'm curious about other types of government. So, I type "other government types" in the search bar, which directs me to the nominated redirect, and then ... I get redirected back to Government. How bizarre and confusing!

The government[edit]

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 retarget to Government. --BDD (talk) 17:21, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently, there has been a bit of a disagreement on whether this redirect should target Government or State (polity). Should we just retarget this to Government (disambiguation) (after creating it) and call it a day? Steel1943 (talk) 23:38, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Title has something to do with a BDSM event in Oslo, Norway and there is a page about it on the Norwegian Wikipedia. Not notable as a redirect. Mr. Guye (talk) 21:46, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Like "Hot chicks" and "Hot women", this encyclopedia ain't a porn website nor is it Match.com. Mr. Guye (talk) 20:42, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to User:Ivanvector Delete per nom. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 22:08, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Rubbish computer 02:22, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (cross-posted to both) I created "Hot men" and "Hot women" as redirects to Physical attractiveness for a simple reason: a non-editor friend typed them into the search engine and didn't get any useful results. The statistics show that there's a 100 or so people each month who use the redirect. Wikipedia is not a pornography site or a dating site but it does cover issues that are considered romantic and/or erotic. 'Hot' is a synonym for physically or sexually attractive. Acknowledging that it is a synonym does not make Wikipedia into a pornography website or a dating site, unless someone gets some kind of sexual thrill out of typing in "Hot (wo)men" into the search engine and being taken to a rather dry article whose visual content consists primarily of classical and Renaissance sculptures. I fail to see how these redirects detract from Wikipedia's mission. —Tom Morris (talk) 05:37, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Tom Morris. Thryduulf (talk) 09:06, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - seems to direct readers to what they're looking for. Nomination statement doesn't suggest any action, nor can any be inferred from what appears to be a non-sequitor. WilyD 09:11, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as this redirect is used to reach its target, so appears useful per WP:R#K5. Rubbish computer 11:36, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Tom Morris, and thanks both for creating these and for that excellent synopsis. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 19:18, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete purely to preserve my dissent the on record, as it seems there's not much chance of this being deleted. "Hot" refers to temperature, and this is a colloquialism. I'm not sure this combination of words would have the same meaning in all English speaking locations/varieties, though I suppose those searching for this would not likely be looking for literally hot beings. However Tom Morris makes a good case, it has traffic, and WP:R#K5 is viable here: hence the weak.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 06:06, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Same as "Hot chicks" Wikipedia isn't porn nor is it eHarmony. Mr. Guye (talk) 20:37, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 17:11, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The redirect is not mentioned at the target. Also, most results found for this term via search engines return information for a mod for Quake 3 called "Military Forces Quake 3". So, probably delete as misleading and not retarget per WP:NOTWIKIA. Steel1943 (talk) 17:14, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 17:09, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The word is not mentioned in the article, and I'm not able to find any connections that the redirect has with the target through search engines or otherwise. Per the engines, the most notable subject on the first few results is a community in Afghanistan. So, I'd say delete as confusing and per WP:REDLINK at best.

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 17:08, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not finding any notable references that connect this term with "army". Also, all search engine hits I get return either an author of books (author's surname) or a non-notable musician who uses the term "Jeesh" as an alias. Steel1943 (talk) 16:56, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I noticed that as well, but didn't recommend it since it seems that all instances of the subject which you refer seems to be "Ender's Jeesh" specifically, so calling it just "Jeesh" could possibly be an inaccurate WP:PTM. Steel1943 (talk) 02:03, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

FC Spöck[edit]

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. WP:INVOLVED close given the size of the backlog and clear consensus. --BDD (talk) 14:53, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Searching revealed a club in Stutensee of this name, but I don't think it has any official link to Kalrsruher SC. (Karlsruher is probably the closest major club.) Spöck seems to play in the Verbandsliga Baden, and some of those articles have redlinks to FC Spöck (new). So I'm not entirely sure what's going on here, except that the status quo is going to confuse readers. --BDD (talk) 13:19, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. --BDD (talk) 13:19, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:REDLINK and fix the redlinks to FC Spöck (new). It looks like an editor who doesn't know about {{red link}} intended links for {{red link}} but didn't want them redirecting to Karlsruher SC, and that suggests to me that the teams are not related. If we don't fix those links, we're going to end up with an article at FC Spöck (new). Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 14:56, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and fix redlinks per Ivanvector. Rubbish computer 17:07, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - seem to be separate clubs, no need for the redirect. GiantSnowman 17:47, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, but comment – It is not entirely true that the club has no ties to Karlsruher SC. According to the German Wikipedia, the women's football section of the club was quite successful on a regional level in the 1980s before splitting from the main club in 1990 under the name DFC Spöck (Damen-Fußballclub or "Ladies' football club"). The new-formed club was on the brink of promotion to the Bundesliga a couple of times before slowly fading into nirvana. In 2001, DFC Eggenstein (as the club was called since 1993) eventually dissolved, with the team joining Karlsruher SC as its new women's football division.

    To be honest, I am not familiar with the notability level for German women's football clubs below the Bundesliga levels. Nevertheless, given (D)FC Spöck's participation in several Bundesliga promotion tournaments, it should easily be possible to meet WP:GNG at least. The article of the club should probably be created at either DFC Spöck or DFC Eggenstein, with FC Spöck pointing to one of these locations if necessary. Either way, the redirect to KSC needs to be deleted. – Soccer-holicI hear voices in my head... 19:00, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Retarget to Equipment. —Godsy(TALKCONT) 03:35, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Current target of redirect is not exclusive to indoor use. Otherwise, the redirect seems too ambiguous to refer to any specific subject or helpful as a disambiguation page. Steel1943 (talk) 09:12, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Ballistics. --BDD (talk) 17:04, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The title of the redirect could potentially give the reader the false expectation of finding an article with this specific topic. (Also, this redirect was previously an article, but it was just an editor copy-and-pasting the "Materials" section of Bullet to this title: this material was not merged into Bullet.)

This title sounds like an item someone would find in an RPG. Either way, this term is not mentioned in the article, and all search results I have per search engines (and the redirect's history as an article) are for a company that makes dog tags. So, either delete per WP:REDLINK or for being a WP:PROMO. Steel1943 (talk) 07:47, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • @SonicAD: Per WP:NC-COLON, what you are asking is technically misleading due to restrictions with the software that runs Wikipedia.

I think this redirect is confusing. The target doesn't mention a "vice president of the Czech Republic" and I wasn't able to verify if that's actually a position. -- Tavix (talk) 04:07, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to The Architecture of the Arkansas Ozarks#Characters. --BDD (talk) 16:54, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There are several reasons why this redirect is not helpful, and could actually cause harm. For one, its target is so notable that getting the first letter incorrect in the title is very unlikely; the amount of page views in the last few days is very minimal. For two, several domain names using this word have been registered by companies other than Google; this redirect being in place gives readers the false expectation that "Foogle" and "Google" are directly related. And lastly, if this redirect exists for a long period of time, since third party web sites sometimes use Wikipedia to create mirrors of redirects, these sites could unintentionally start to mislead readers into thinking that the terms are one in the same; I mean, to this very day, thanks to a bad redirect towards Nintendo, several Wikipedia mirrors are stuck believing that the term Hujk refers to "Nintendo" since it targeted Nintendo for 7 years.

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 16:53, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There are no instances of the word "Foogle" on the target page. This redirect's existence could lead the reader to believe that Wikipedia has multiple article subjects named "Foogle" as its actual spelling, which it doesn't. (The only subject we currently have is a misspelling'.) Steel1943 (talk) 03:52, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not related to Chinese. GZWDer (talk) 05:57, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • This topic has an affinity for Chinese, per the large minority population. See my other rationales for deleting non-English redirects based on non-affinity, and many other people's as well. -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 05:08, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTHOWTO. That, and Soda is a disambiguation page, and I really don't feel like drinking baking soda. Steel1943 (talk) 00:36, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. --Rubbish computer 01:57, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep A "Soda" when used as a name for a drink in ordinary English at least in the NE United States does mean a soft drink; it's alternative use when in conjunction with an alcoholic drink name, is "Club soda" or "Seltzer" or soda water" -- in all cases it refers to the production of a bubbly drink by dissolving sodium bicarbonate in water (or nowadays by pumping CO2 into water) . For examples of the usage see Google books for "give me a soda" DGG ( talk ) 20:59, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per Steel1943's reply to DGG. Also, drinking baking soda would probably be exceptionally bad, both because of the violent reaction that would be experienced with one's stomach acids, and also because it's not a liquid. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 02:35, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Soda Drinker Pro. When the context is drinking, "soda" always means "soft drink" and never "baking soda", but the target (a rather bizarre subject I admit) starts with "Soda Drinker Pro is a video game that simulates the act of drinking soda".

It pains me to do this, since I love Fallout, but none of these concepts are mentioned at the target article. And since they're concepts present in multiple Fallout games, retargeting to just one of them doesn't make much sense to me. --BDD (talk) 01:56, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Suggesting deletion. Apparently it's some sort of Islamic term, but I don't think it's a plausible redirect to "weak". Howicus (Did I mess up?) 00:07, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - It looks like "Musadafin"/"Mustad'afin"/etc translates to something like "those who are oppressed", "those who are kept down", "the downtrodden", and so on. The redirect that we have now just isn't right at all. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 00:28, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
