T:TS → Template:Template sandbox (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

A redirect of a type that is strongly discouraged. This particular one is almost unused (only two links: one from the creator's user page, and another from the target's documentation, which I've just removed). It is also confusing as Template:Ts is a different template altogether. – Uanfala (talk) 22:52, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak retarget~~ to {{ts}}; otherwise delete as ambiguous and a CNR. — J947 ^[cont] 22:57, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It would be more confusing having T:TS redirect to Template:Ts, but Template:TS redirect to Template:Template sandbox. There are a lot of links to the template sandbox, but not sure that a cross-namespace redirect is useful enough to be kept. Template:Ts has very few links to it. Peter James (talk) 21:21, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah that would be confusing. Delete. — J947 ^[cont] 21:49, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Genius (disambiguation), since there has clearly been confusion in the past. I'll have a go at cleaning up that page to bring film and TV entries closer together. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:47, 28 April 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Delete None of the films came on the dab page came out in 2017 so I see no reason to retarget. As per the case of confusion mentioned assuming it’s due to the fact that the target article was originally titled Genius (2017 film) in April 2017 I don’t see that as particularly relevant since that was corrected a little over 2 and a half days later with apparently no dispute. Long story short any confusion is was dealt with years ago.--69.157.252.96 (talk) 06:03, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Little Alex Horne → Alex Horne (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

This seems like more of a joke redirect than a purposeful one (a reference to the show Taskmaster, but not a term by which anyone regularly refers to Horne). I say Delete per pageview statistics, which show this page having only 3 pageviews in the past 90 days. Noahfgodard (talk) 16:20, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Taskmaster as it is a nickname used on that show as he is only "Little" with respect to Greg Davies. [1] [2] If he continues to use it outside of that context, as with Stuttering John Melendez then it could redirect back to Horne. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:04, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing but redirects in the page history, so doesn't seem to be much worth preserving, and the current target doesn't discuss naming new pages. Bsherr (talk) 17:59, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This seems awkward and unhelpful. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 19:07, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This is a Very Old Page (created in April 2001), so it should be kept per item four in WP:RFD#KEEP. I think it would be most helpful if we retargeted it to Wikipedia:Article titles. - Eureka Lott 00:13, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

7F15 → Principal Charming (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Production codes are a highly implausible search term. Besides, there is no guarantee the production codes are unique to one series, which may result in unnecessary disambiguisation pages. There is a slew of other production codes as redirects (7F16.. 7F24, 8F03..8F11) which, I think, isn’t very useful. Kleuske (talk) 13:46, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have used such search terms myself many times to search for Simpsons episodes and have found them invaluable. The Simpsons, unlike many other programmes, does not display the name of the episode in the programme itself and sometimes the title is missing from the Electronic program guide. Additionally, a different episode may sometimes be broadcast than the one advertised. In such cases, the production code displayed in the end credits is the only reliable way for the viewer to uniquely identify the episode. The question then is whether it is useful to take the reader directly to that episode or if letting them pick it out of search results is sufficient. I'm not aware of any duplication of these production codes but I don't see disambiguation pages as an issue even if they did arise. I've added many of these redirects as I think they are useful but will cease such activity until this discussion is resolved. --Jameboy (talk) 14:07, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Have notified Wikipedia:WikiProject The Simpsons of this discussion in order to get further input. --Jameboy (talk) 14:23, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - These appear to be helpful, though the potential for confusion exists should we find duplicates. I lean to thinking that deletion is the wrong call. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 04:00, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tuberculosis of the Spine → Syphilis (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

"Tuberculosis of the Spine" isn't mentioned at Syphilis and I can't see why it redirects there. Possibly retarget to Pott disease ("Pott disease is tuberculosis of the spine"). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:14, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I concur, and I don't think the miscapitalization is worth preserving through retargeting. --Bsherr (talk) 15:35, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget; I don't remember why I created this (it was nearly a decade ago), but it seems, looking at it now, that Pott disease looks like the best target of this search term. — Supuhstar * — 22:15, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

CFA building → Court of Final Appeal (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Many different organizations are listed at CFA, so it seems inappropriate to have this point directly to a subset of them. I think that either deletion, or retargeting to point directly to Court of Final Appeal Building (which appears to be the only entry CFA-related building that has a standalone article) would be appropriate. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 21:23, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

T:S → Template:Strikethrough (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Created in April 2009 as a redirect to Terminator Salvation. The following month it was retargeted to the dab page TS, and a month a half later it was retargeted again, this time to Template:Spotlight (no longer existent). Then pass three years and two mass RfDs (1, 2, not individually discussed in either), and in 2012 the redirect is at RfD for the third time. The outcome is for it to be retargeted to Template:Strikethrough (matching Template:S), only to end up at another RfD mass nomination in 2013, where it was briefly suggested, but never enacted, that this redirect should be pointed back to mainspace. The next event is in 2014, when the community decided that T: shortcuts in general aren't a great idea.

So, keeping this redirect would be warranted if it has long history of significant use, but it doesn't come anywhere near. It's got about a dozen incoming links (as far as I can see, they're not uses, but are all mentions: in the context of deletion discussions and the like), and five transclusions (by two different editors), where it's used in the awkward construction {{:T:S}}, instead of the regular and simpler use of the actual shortcut {{s}}. Overall, the template is virtually unused, has no value as a template shortcut, and should either be deleted, or retargeted back to the mainspace. I'm requesting help in deciding the best target. It is attested as an abbreviation for Terminator Salvation, but aren't there likely to be alternative uses? – Uanfala (talk) 18:30, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom's thorough analysis, which demonstrates how confusing and ambiguous this redirect is. Linking to it requires more typing than the Wiki markup! Narky Blert (talk) 13:06, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Just don't see this as the type of template needing a shortcut like this, not that many do. The long history of multiple targets doesn't help either. --Bsherr (talk) 22:29, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Put a gun against its head. WP is not a search engine. There are hundreds or thousands of songs with memorable lines, and Google and so on find them just fine.

Nominating this batch of redirects that were disambiguated with wikidata identifiers as in this discussion. Mdaniels5757 (talk) 02:08, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all as harmless (especially Betty May (Q18416435) per K4). — J947 ^[cont] 02:35, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all. There's {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}, and then there are redirects from unnecessary qualifiers no-one knows and few will understand. Confusing clutter. Narky Blert (talk) 06:27, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all per this discussion. -- Tavix ^(talk) 13:23, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Besides the long jumble of stuff, having the extra * at the front interferes with the search function. Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2012_April_17#*Graham_Miller_(sports_presenter/relief_newsreader,_late_80s_-_1992) kept the redirect as not harmful, but I didn't see any mention of the wildcard character interference in a quick glance over the discussion. This redirect is harmful because the leading * messes with the searchbar's wildcard character function. Hog Farm (talk) 01:39, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. The qualifier is particularly ludicrous, it's almost a stub article. Narky Blert (talk) 06:23, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I found one more that I've added to this discussion. -- Tavix ^(talk) 13:22, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Leftover from an old page move, the * isn't part of the stylization. Moreover, a leading * interferes with the searchbar, the * is a special wildcard character. Hog Farm (talk) 01:35, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good work by all those editors who are digging out these **** redirects and nominating them. Narky Blert (talk) 06:24, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Appears to be an unambiguous error. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 16:54, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
