SHould it point where it points now or to the “Live” section of it? 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 22:16, 8 April 2020 (UTC) 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 22:16, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Comment is this a legacy redirect? Is there any value for this? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 04:28, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
- @AngusWOOF: Yes, as an {{R from subpage}} this is part of Category:Redirects with old history. There are some pageviews every month, so I think it should be kept. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 13:16, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep redirect as it is now, i.e. without deep link. There is no "Live" section in the article, so I suspect Johann Sebastian Bach#Life is meant. Since that is the first section of the article, the question boils down to: should the redirect skip the intro, infobox and TOC? I'd rather say no: that part of the article has biographical content too, and the main article under the composer's name is nowadays considered to be a biographical article anyhow, so doesn't make much sense to skip to the first section imho. --Francis Schonken (talk) 14:44, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

There is no list of characters at the target page, so the title is misleading Utopes (talk / cont) 21:21, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. This was deleted on 12 March as a result of a deletion discussion, then brought back as a redirect on 22 March. As the nominator says, the redirect is pointless because there is no list of characters at the target page. JIP | Talk 21:27, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Typo and an unlikely search term. Niteclub isn't an article, and there are no redirects from mainspace to category space for lists of night clubs. Utopes (talk / cont) 21:05, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - Saying "nite" instead of "night" is something that I've seen many times, but I've yet to come across one single reliable source using the term "niteclub". It appears to be a bit of obscure slang without any particular context. Deletion seems to be the right call. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 21:11, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete as there is not even Nightclubs in London AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 04:30, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Retarget this to Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols or a section of it. The article does not mention the symbol while the article about the Unicode block explains a bit more about the whole set. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 18:18, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per the consensus at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 October 25#ℛ. Pinging participants in that discussion: @D.Lazard, BDD, Ivanvector, Arms & Hearts, Amory, and Tavix:. Thryduulf (talk) 10:43, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Thryduulf: A readerwho sees the character as a box
- Keep per previous consensus. Moreoveer the proposed retargeting is confusing, as either a user searches for a mathematical meaning (none is standard), and an Unicode article is not convenient, or he searches for Unicode information, and he would probably search directly in Unicode articles. D.Lazard (talk) 11:07, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- If kept it should be added to R#Related characters. It it doesn't belong there, the redirect target isn't correct. Peter James (talk) 11:58, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Thryduulf and D.Lazard: If a reader stumbles over a symbol not displayed on his computer, he will be very confused if he gets redirected to a page about a letter, where a page search doesn't even find that character. On the other hand, I can't think of any other reason for a reader to search up such a symbol. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 10:30, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, BDD (talk) 20:49, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per previous nom (which retargeted this from Riemann integral). Unlike ℝ, this has more than one possible meaning and no standard ones. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 21:59, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- @LaundryPizza03: How is this an argument against retargeting it to Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols, where the reader at least finds out what that symbol is? 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 13:19, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep, as per previous. Still makes the most sense to me, and unconvinced the proposed option is better (seem likely to result in more confusion). ~ Amory (u • t • c) 15:18, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Amorymeltzer: Can you elaborate? Why does it make sense to be redirected to an article about a letter when you want to know what a symbol not displayed on your device means? Also, as I said, surely no-one would type this symbol in if they are looking for the article about R. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 15:47, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
- Nothing has changed since the previous discussion, and I find all those arguments to be quite meritorious, in particular IV's. I'll add that I think your argument here doesn't support your suggestion: if there's a symbol a device can't display, I would think "Hey this is an R" would be loads better than "Here's a page with a bunch of weird characters your device also can't display." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amorymeltzer (talk • contribs) 17:50, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Deletion, the redirects make no sense as they are simply linking back to the page they are on, something which I consider highly frustrating. The album pages don't exist so either don't link to it or show a link to a non-existing page. With the current redirects you either open the page in the current window, to find yourselfat the top of the current page again, forcing you to scroll down to where you were, or you open multiple albums in different tabs and when you get to look at them you have the same page open multiple times. None of the pages have a history so no info is lost by deleting them. Forage (talk) 09:25, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep all; tagging as {{R from album}} and unlinking in the targets per WP:SELFRED. Narky Blert (talk) 09:53, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

- Is there a reason some albums redirect to the singer and others redirect to the discography? Peter James (talk) 12:29, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep; these redirects serve a purpose. ---Another Believer (Talk) 13:02, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget the top two to the discography page, and keep the third one. The discography gives more info about the albums than the artist's page. Hog Farm (talk) 17:36, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

- Comment: None of these redirects were tagged with {{Rfd}} until today (when I tagged them). Steel1943 (talk) 21:38, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep all. Linked on the target article is really not a valid reason for deletion. Just unlink them on the target article. Ss112 21:39, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep all {{r from album}} is a valid redirect. I'm confused as to why we would delete. >
Maybe delete the third one Can we confirm the proper name of the album? Anouk (singer) has a different title.The text was wrong before and evidently no one caught it until I pointed it out below; it has since been fixed. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:20, 8 April 2020 (UTC)- Anouk (singer) does not have a different title. It clearly says Wen d'r maar aan on the article. Ss112 23:04, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Please see the article (emphasis added): "In 2018 Anouk released her first Dutch-language-album; Wen er maar aan." They are clearly different titles. Again, please confirm the actual title and have a redirect for that and don't have a redirect for some misspelling or whatever the other name is. I suggest you read Anouk (singer). ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:21, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
- I have confirmed the name of the album (if you'd bothered to search the album, you would have seen it is correct), and my redirect is not the misspelling. The prose is a misspelling; I didn't add it and I have corrected it. If you thought it was, perhaps you shouldn't have created a talk page for a misspelling. Thanks. Ss112 02:34, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for looking at the article and fixing the incorrect text that I noted before. I can't fix every error here but sometimes, I can point out existing errors. When someone deletes an incorrect redirect, he can easily include deleting the talk page at the same time. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:31, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Mastio and Bergfrit

- The result of the discussion was Delete Mastio, retarget Bergfrit. signed, Rosguill talk 22:11, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
"Mastio" (Tuscan Italian) and "Bergfrit" (Czech) mean "Keep" but this redirect should be deleted because the terms are not mentioned in the article; per Wikipedia:Redirects in languages other than English; and because they actively inhibit the use of Search. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:20, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- They are occasionally used in English, to describe things in the countries where those languages are used. If there are other uses, disambiguation pages can be created. There are articles that link to these redirects. Peter James (talk) 09:04, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:RFFL; noting also that neither word equates to "keep". it:Mastio has no equivalent in any other language, and cs:Bergfrit equates to Bergfried, which is not the same thing as a "keep". Narky Blert (talk) 10:41, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Rahmanism

I support this page to be redirected to A. R. Rahman instead of Rahmanan. When you check Google or WP:RS this is the majority of the results lead to. Or it should be a disambiguation page for both. - The9Man (Talk) 06:38, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Sources in Google search are mostly not reliable. The9Man, you need to provide sources for your claim. Don't ask us to find sources. Rahmanism is used in reliable sources to reference an unknown monotheist religion that appeared in ancient Yemen. (It is often said that it is influenced by Judaism or that it is Hanifism.)
- One is that "Rahmanism" in South Arabia is identical with what is called Hanifism [1]
- South Arabian monotheism (rahmanism) By the second half of the 4th century AD the polytheistic formulae and names of the deities of South Arabian pantheon started to disappear from the ancient texts. [2]
- L'Oriente Christ (Rome, 1964), 439, maintained that the "Rahmanism" of the fifth century was neither Jewish nor influenced by Judaism. [3]
- A view which has been much canvassed is that 4th-5th century Rahmanism was the Jewish faith l40).[4]
- Even if Besston is right in drawing a distinction between south Arabian Rahmanism and Judaism, he himself ultimately follows J. Ryckmans and admits that it was a monotheistic religion, strongly influenced by Judaism.[5]--SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 06:55, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

- Comment - Apart from his name, what does A. R. Rahman have to do with Rahmanism? - Poydoo can talk and edit 23:41, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Comment this is a bit confusing as not all the sources presented here are connecting it to Rahmanan and it might be more suited to Rahman (disambiguation) or its own article. If you want to keep it, you should talk about Rahmanism in detail in the article and then hatnote to the disambiguation page in case people are looking for Rahman in general. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 04:39, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
- Yes they are connected. Rahmanan is the name of god/God that Rahmanists worshipped.--SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 12:30, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. Correct or conservative? Either is opinion. Narky Blert (talk) 09:42, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Comment - No mention in article. However: It appears to be slogan-esque—it appears on merchandise, viewable from a simple google search of the term. {{R from slogan}}, perhaps, if kept. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 10:42, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, signed, Rosguill talk 20:40, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep it's an old slogan; is it not mentioned in the article anymore? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 04:40, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
- None that I can see in the body of the article. The closest mention is in the References section, where "Rush Is Always Right" is the title of reference 20, and "Rush was Right" is the title of reference 43. However, neither of these exactly match the name of this redirect. – numbermaniac 07:12, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Should this target China or the Republic of China (Taiwan)? The "republic" is specified, and I think this could go either way. Utopes (talk / cont) 17:07, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to Republic of China per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. --Soumyabrata wash your hands to protect from coronavirus 17:29, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to China (disambiguation) And this is a different term from
Republican China
, which correctly redirects to Republic of China (1912–1949) (when the ROC was still governing the mainland). CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 17:30, 24 March 2020 (UTC) - Retarget to the DAB page. It's ambiguous. Narky Blert (talk) 08:33, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, signed, Rosguill talk 20:53, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to the dab page, as Republic of China (Taiwan) and Republic of China (1912–1949) are equally likely, People's Republic of China is also not implausible. Thryduulf (talk) 21:08, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to China (disambiguation) as ambigous.
SSSB (talk) 09:09, 1 April 2020 (UTC) - Retarget - I agree that this should go to the disambiguation page mentioned above. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 11:22, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to Republic of China (disambiguation). China (disambiguation) has too much stuff which isn't republics, while missing out things which might be called "China Republic". 59.149.124.29 (talk) 13:31, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Bizarre and unlikely capitalization. TheAwesomeHwyh 16:59, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Unnecessary clutter. Narky Blert (talk) 21:28, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Definitely more helpful than it is harmful. — J947 (user | cont | ess), at 21:44, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Unnecessary, especially given that Wikipedia's search function automatically directs the reader to the best applicable capitalization mismatched page whenever a page with the exact capitalization they typed does not exist. (For example, try typing "ChEeSe" in the search function, and notice how it brings the reader to Cheese without first going to any other redirect such as CHEESE.) And since linking to this redirect has no utility in the article namespace, along with the aforementioned functionality of Wikipedia's search function, this redirect serves next-to-no value. Steel1943 (talk) 22:27, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- This sort of redirect is for the people who use the URL as an internal search function. Quite simply, I don't see the point in deleting this. I do have a question though: Does searching up, say, CHEESE before being automatically directed to Cheese count as a pageview for CHEESE? — J947 (user | cont | ess), at 22:47, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- @J947: It came to my attention that I never answered this inquiry. But yes, searching CHEESE (when auto redirected) would count as a page view for CHEESE and Cheese. (And yes, I see that Thryduulf explained this below as well, so me saying all of this is obviously redundant, but it is what it is.) Steel1943 (talk) 19:42, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

- AIUI simply appearing in search results does not count as a view but clicking on the redirect definitely does count as a view. Whether previewing a redirect using popups or something similar counts as a view I don't know - it's not something I've ever thought about before. Thryduulf (talk) 10:50, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- I want to make sure I am clear on what I meant since I'm not sure if it was misinterpreted or not. So, regarding the "ChEeSe" example above: I meant that if "ChEeSe" is typed in and then "Enter" is pressed on the keyboard without clicking on any of the auto populated results, the reader goes straight to Cheese without first hitting any redirects. However, I found there is more to how the search works in such a scenario: Apparently, the search will retrieve the most accurate word-case title when the search term used is a capitalization mismatch. A few minutes ago, I attempted to search "NaSa" and press enter, the search function did not retrieve NASA, but rather Nasa (a redirect to NASA) probably for the simple fact that Nasa exists. Steel1943 (talk) 18:01, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- ...And I just attempted to look up "THe SimPsoNS" and the page which was retrieved was The simpsons (a redirect to The Simpsons). So, it seems that if the capitalization mismatched search term doesn't exist, the search function retrieves the respective title that has only the first letter capitalized. At this point, I'd like to see an example of an article page with more than one capital letter in its title and see if I can test something when the respective title with only the first letter capitalized doesn't exist ... the results may provide more answers. Steel1943 (talk) 18:06, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- ...And I just tested the former idea in my own user space. I have a subpage in my user space named User:Steel1943/Project redirects, so I attempted to see what would happen if I searched "User:StEel1943/PrOjeCt redIRects" and press enter, and it brought me immediately to User:Steel1943/Project redirects instead of the nonexistent User:Steel1943/project redirects (notice the lowercase "p" in "projects") since for the most likely reason being that User:Steel1943/project redirects doesn't exist.

- @J947: if you go to an article via a redirect then both redirect and article pages views get incremented by 1, if you don't go via a redirect then only the target article gets the view. e.g. Steel will have given Nasa a page view today), but wont have contributed anything to the figures of redirects to Cheese. However, the closest available capitalisation 'trick' (for want of a better term) only works when using some case-insensitive search methods. If you use a case sensitive method (e.g. direct url entry, following a link, etc) then you will be taken to the title that exactly matches (bar the first letter) the case you entered. Many people use case sensitive methods to find Wikipedia content. Thryduulf (talk) 19:10, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Redirect, but where? This is no longer just a pornography term. The term is used for example in this BBC article about a current affairs programme on people using such techniques in their private lives [6], while for example you wouldn't say "hardcore sex" for anything outside of porn. It's also been mentioned in articles about murder defences, most visibly around the Murder of Grace Millane, as something in real life. [7] This is a sexual practice documented as happening with large amount of people who are not in pornography. Really, this should redirect to either an article about consensual sexual violence, or an article about the controversial murder defence. Do any such articles exist? That would be much less astonishing than a link to just the page about porn, which may or may not include such techniques Wallachia Wallonia (talk) 20:13, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - Honestly, I can't think of anywhere to retarget this that feels really appropriate. BDSM related articles refer to specific practices that are far narrower than the general term 'rough sex'. I'm inclined to see deletion as the right call.

Delete, or replace with a disambiguation page. There appear to be two decently well-known musicians by this name, a Scottish fiddler and a Canadian alt-rock musician. Both have 2 incoming links to this redirect. That this points to the record label of the rock musician's band (with no direct mention of the musician on that page) is confusing. Simply deleting could lead to more future confusion between these people. However creating a disambiguation page for two people, neither of whom currently have their own article, may also not be ideal. Open to discussion on the best course of action. Kronhjorten (talk) 18:54, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Disambiguate. I've added a draft. It's unusual for a DAB page to have no full-title-match bluelinks, but it's not unheard of; it can be justified by WP:DABMENTION. IMO there's a chance that both the curator and the fiddler might just about pass WP:GNG. I couldn't find enough about the Canadian musician, or the fictional character in The King's Messengers (quaintly described as "British Royal Ambassador"), or the corporate executive with Iowa Interstate Railroad to justify including them.

"Big Bird" is not mentioned at the target article. Delete unless justification can be provided. Hog Farm (talk) 20:27, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
- Comment these originally redirected to Big Bird (cryptid) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), until it was vandalized into being a redirect to Chupacabra, whereby a bot compounded that by "fixing" a double redirect. However, the target article itself was later redirected to a list article, which does not contain a "Big Bird" anymore... so perhaps you should also bundle in Big Bird (cryptid) ? -- 65.94.170.207 (talk) 03:03, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. The edit history is messy. Both these redirects originally pointed to Big Bird (cryptid). They wound up pointing to Chupacabra as double redirects, after that page was blanked and redirected there. Big Bird (cryptid) was subsequently redirected to List of cryptids; which does not mention it.
- Bundle Big Bird (cryptid) into this nomination. It was blanked and redirected in 2007. That article was never sourced, and carried a strong stench of WP:HOAX - see the article at its most developed, in September 2007. Narky Blert (talk) 18:49, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

- Comment @Rosguill: Regarding your relist comment, here are 10 pages that could be listed at a "2020 NCAA tournament" dab.—Bagumba (talk) 09:24, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete or disambiguate per Rikster2. I think it might be best to delete for now, without prejudice to disambiguation whenever someone wants to put one together. --BDD (talk) 14:48, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

- Progressive Conservative Parrty → Progressive Conservative Party (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Another redirrect with a misspelling whose plausibility is questionable. This seems like more search bar clutter, tilting towards delete here. Regards, SONIC678 03:20, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. The r and t are right beside each other, so I can see someone typing an r trying to type a t, realize they didn't type a t and type a t, and fail to realize the t key didn't work because they actually placed an r. OcelotCreeper (talk) 03:28, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Meh; keep. This does no harm and is quite historical too. {{R from misspelling}} and {{R unprintworthy}} both apply. — J947 (user | cont | ess), at 21:55, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Unlikely misspelling. TheAwesomeHwyh 03:18, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Corea instead of Korea is weird, but I can see that being a typo, Referring to south korea as republican corea however. OcelotCreeper (talk) 03:26, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Comment. Corea instead of Korea is not weird, just obsolete. See wikt:Corea. Narky Blert (talk) 06:05, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep. While "Corea" is used as a spelling for Korea in many different languages (as noted here) and is therefore plausible, "Republican Korea" could also refer to one of the two Democratic Republican Parties of South Korea. Regards, SONIC678 03:35, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Comment then shouldn't Republican Korea be turned into a disambiguation page, with this pointing to that? Then you could list both SK political parties, as well as DPRK and ROK (both republics) -- 65.94.170.207 (talk) 09:03, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep perfectly plausible misspelling/alternative spelling so it should point at the same target as Republican Korea, which it currently does. Thryduulf (talk) 14:09, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget - This should go to 'Republican Korea', and that other article should be turned into a disambiguation page. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 05:02, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was redirect to cuisine articles. signed, Rosguill talk 07:52, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Drinking in France → French wine (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Drinking in Italy → Beer in Italy (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
The possibilities for drinking in France aren't exhausted by wine, and neither are those in Italy limited to beer, of all things. The redirects presuppose the kind of article that we've got for Canada and three or four other countries, but there's nothing comparable for either France or Italy. The section Italian cuisine#Drinks is quite relevant but it doesn't come close either. Anyone bored? Look at the other redirects created by the same editor – Uanfala (talk) 00:10, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget - I'd direct these to 'French cuisine' and 'Italian cuisine'. Yes, that's somewhat of a stretch, but the fundamental thing is that the reader is looking for information about the general concept of 'food and drink' as tied to certain nations. Deletion seems like the wrong call to me. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 07:49, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete all per nom, and because these redirects are vague. They could refer to beverages to drink, or even subjects such as Legal drinking age. Steel1943 (talk) 18:27, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget to French cuisine#drinks and Italian cuisine#drinks. — J947 (user | cont | ess), at 20:43, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
