This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on July 25, 2024.

Stun ray

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 no consensus. Multiple targets were suggested. Targeting to Raygun as one possible target better than the current. Relisting is futile since there was no participation for more than 3 weeks since the last relist, nor was useful content added to the current target during then interim.

Stun ray → Weapons in science fiction (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

The subject of the redirect is not mentioned in the target article, leaving it unclear what subject this redirect is meant to define. From a preliminary search of Wikipedia, it seems this redirect is mentioned nowhere. Steel1943 (talk) 21:21, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak retarget to stun gun, which mentions the current target. Hesitant because 'stun weapons' are not really described at that target. Might be better to return this to red for now. — Godsy^(TALK_CONT) 21:56, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I'm legitimately befuddled that this isn't mentioned and discussed in detail at the target article, given how much a staple it is in sci-fi. Making a character sleep without actually hurting them is just such a USEFUL thing for a writer to be able to do, that even in non-scifi works you get things like that one punch that harmlessly KOs you, or chloroform, or a sleeping drug or whatever. In sci-fi, they definitely use stun guns all the time, from Star Wars to Star Trek and beyond. It's a trope for a reason. Normally, when I feel like article creation should be encouraged I !vote delete to redlink it, but here, I don't think it deserves its own article at all... I just think it should be included in this one. Err... not that I'm volunteering to write it though. Not sure what to do in this situation. Fieari (talk) 23:15, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Raygun - it's a scifi weapon that shoots rays, that mentions stunning: A wide range of non-lethal functions as determined by the requirements of the story: for instance, they may stun, paralyze or knock down a target, much like modern electroshock weapons..

Jerry Temporary → Temporary Secretary (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

a misremembering of the song's name that became a siivagunner meme. not mentioned in the target or notable on its own, BUT it might actually be a plausible search, as it's ironically become a common misremembering later on (or siiva is just that influential on public musical knowledge, it's hard to tell). opinions? cogsan _{(nag me) (stalk me)} 19:03, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I don't know who siivagunner is but googling the phrase "Jerry Temporary" comes up with lots of Temporary Secretary hits. Redirects are cheap, if it helps someone get to the right article then it's worth keeping (and it get a lot more hits than most things on RfD). BugGhost 🦗👻 13:02, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Quail, quail, quarry → Duck, duck, goose (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

I couldn't find any reliable sources that used this name, and most sources that use it seem to be directly copying the distinctive phrasing of the article ("Quail, Quail, Quarry sometimes in New Jersey and New England)", which was added in 2020 by User:Duckduckgooseking1. I've removed the name from the article and unless it's reintroduced the redirect should be deleted as well. Rusalkii (talk) 21:20, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (maybe speedily as a hoax?). Good catch. I can't find anything on Google that doesn't appear directly sourced to our article when the content was there (and even still, only 4 pages of hits). Zero hits in newspapers.com, ebescohost, archive.org's library, the DBs I have access to via proquest, nor gbooks. It's possible it's a real term but should be deleted until there's some source that didn't originate from us. Skynxnex (talk) 21:51, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Biden approval rating → 2022 opinion polling on the Joe Biden administration (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

2021 and 2022 have passed. The issue here is whether we should be retargeting these redirects to 2024 opinion polling on the Joe Biden administration or rather its parent article, Opinion polling on the Joe Biden administration. I have a preference for the former scenario, because very few people care about Biden's approval in previous years any more. Once the year is over, the target can be changed to the parent article. Dsuke1998AEOS (talk) 17:14, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Opinion polling on the Joe Biden administration. It's better to have the readers arrive at a page with a list of options, rather than a year-exclusive option where the incoming redirect will need to be updated on the regular basis. Steel1943 (talk) 17:30, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget per Steel. There are occasions when regularly updating redirects is fine (Recent deaths comes to mind) but the index is better in most cases, especially when people might not always want the most recent. Thryduulf (talk) 18:34, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I don't think this is a place where WP:YESRED/WP:RETURNTORED will encourage article creation and the target has some real information about the subject, so a redirect that is used 2 or 3 times a day is worth keeping until someone expands this redirect to an article or moves a draft over it.

Comment It's likely that Method (computer programming) § Finalizers is arguably a close enough mention. See Final (Java) § Final methods for Java-specific context (it's kind of in some other languages). But the missing space makes it iffier. Skynxnex (talk) 20:00, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as harmless, especially if it sounds like something the game itself would do (I have no opinion on that and the images in the article don't help). Thryduulf (talk) 02:12, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
if context is needed, "beating" a "race" with it earns you a crusty png of a trophy, accompanied by the text "you're winner !". it's exactly that bad. an image of that "win screen" wouldn't actually be too bad, now that you mention it cogsan _{(nag me) (stalk me)} 11:05, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:CHEAP, it's harmless, and also... yes. This is exactly the sort of thing the game would be, the irony is NOT lost on me, and I can easily imagine hypothetical searchers intuitively applying similar logic when searching. Very appropriate redirects for the target. If all other rationale fail, I'd !vote keep on grounds of WP:FUNPOLICE alone! Fieari (talk) 23:08, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect is completely inappropriate. I'm proposing that we change it to redirect to Kernel until someone wants to make a new article for Kernel Services.

Retarget to Kernel (operating system), which doesn't use or mention the term "kernel service" per se, but does discuss "services provided by the kernel". I didn't see any mention of services in the other articles linked at Kernel (disambiguation). jlwoodwa (talk) 22:43, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

that's a completely different type of colon. not sure who would write the title in english, switch to a japanese keyboard setting to add that specific colon and nothing else, and then back to a latin one to write the rest cogsan _{(nag me) (stalk me)} 12:40, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm an EFL teacher to native Japanese speakers and see my students do this kind of thing all the time. Random "full-width" punctuation and spaces everywhere when they try writing in English. No comment as to whether or not that makes it keepable, but just needed to say... yes, they do this. No, I don't know why, no matter how many times I tell them not to. Fieari (talk) 04:51, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
On reflection, coming back to add: I do know why they do this. Japanese keyboards have a button to switch between hiragana/kanji, katakana, and romaji modes, as well as some other modes as well. Japanese users are very familiar with switching between modes multiple times within a single sentence in order to type the characters they need. So they are typing in romaji mode to type the less familiar English characters/words, but then they suddenly come across a character they are used to much more, the colon! So they switch back to kana input to put in the familiar character before switching back to romaji mode to continue typing the unfamiliar parts. As I said, it happens A LOT despite my best efforts to curtail it ("Just keep it on romaji while in English class!") Fieari (talk) 07:06, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
this is almost as cursed as turning caps lock on and off for each individual capital letter. still, i don't think it's plausible to do that with an originally japanese game on english wikipedia, but that's a possible wrench in the plan cogsan _{(nag me) (stalk me)} 15:58, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think Fieari presented a good argument on why Japanese speakers might use this redirect. Since redirects have low maintanance burden and the subject is a Japanese game, keep. Ca ^{talk to me!} 02:46, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep given the explanation given by Fieari. Given this is close, but not identical to WP:RFOREIGN. And given this game has a strong affinity to Japanese and the Japaneses JSP cover, for example, has the title in English also, if it's not uncommon for people to mix the scripts, no reason to delete given how cheap redirects are.
