Revision as of 16:56, 3 May 2024

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on April 30, 2024.

Radio-Canada

Disambiguate. Radio-Canada can mean a few things, none of them being its English equivalent (though I guess it can be with enough of a stretch). LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 23:00, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguate. From the history, I see that I created this redirect more than 20 years ago (!), and at the time Wikipedia was only a few years old and its content was less extensive than today. I think there weren't any articles about Radio-Canada at the time, so this was probably just a placeholder redirect which I forgot about long ago. Thanks for taking the initiative to fix this. -- P.T. Aufrette (talk) 11:59, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per WP:PTOPIC - Radio-Canada is the well-known-in-English French name for the subject covered at Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (branded "CBC/Radio-Canada" per the first sentence). Hatnotes are provided to link to articles covering specific divisions of Radio-Canada. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:20, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Hitting the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation aka Société Radio-Canada aka CBC/Radio-Canada when searching Radio-Canada is unsurprising. Reiterating Ivanvector above: the hatnotes are good navigational aides and if those fail the same articles are linked in the lede. ― Synpath 23:13, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Panther Memorial Stadium, McBee

No longer mentioned at the target after a 2012 merge/redirect AfD closure. A high school's stadium does not need to be a redirect to the school if the stadium has no discussion at the target page, although the history may need to be dealt with. Utopes (talk / cont) 17:44, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Paramount Television International Studios

Per the outcome at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 March 3#Paramount Television International Studios, where incoming links were the hurdle straight after a page move, I've given it enough time for the actual targets and/or rdr targets to be sorted out. The reason or rationale is the same as its/the original listing. Intrisit (talk) 06:12, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Goulash (magazine)

This is a local(?) satirical(?) magazine published by a boarding school. Zero standalone notability, existed as two sentences that were BLAR'd immediately into the school it was published from. No mention of "goulash" anywhere at the target page. Utopes (talk / cont) 06:44, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No mention No redirect. To be honest, I doubt if this magazine is even real. Couldn't find anything in Jstor and Gscholar Ca talk to me! 15:15, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I believe it's probably real, honestly, but just so local that it has no electronic archives, as many a student magazine do 😅 Utopes (talk / cont) 22:17, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pluri-

Pluri indeed means plural, but the current target is about grammatical person, and this prefix is used in other contexts (eg. plurinational, plurisexual, etc.) and it's not mentioned in the target page either. It could be dabified in line with multi. --MikutoH talk! 22:46, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I agree that Plural isn't a good target as it doesn't explain how the prefix operates. Exploring what would go into a Pluri DAB page turns up only Pluri Inc. as a PTM and a list of articles that have a pluri- prefix that maybe could go into a See also section. Such a page might ignore too many DAB guidelines while trying too hard to guess at what might be useful. Perhaps a soft retarget to wikt:pluri- is most helpful to searchers. ― Synpath 23:29, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Finite dimensional Hilbert spaces

The current target may be too technical for the search term. Alternatives could be Hilbert space or Euclidean space (or Euclidean space#Technical definition). Also note that the singular Finite dimensional Hilbert space, or the more correct hyphenations Finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces/Finite-dimensional Hilbert space do not currently exist. 1234qwer1234qwer4 18:03, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete in favour of search results. While the target article does have a cited one-line mention of a Royal Tart Toter, redirecting to this section alone buries the other cited one-line mentions in Wikipeida. ― Synpath 23:43, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pawanism

No mention of "Pawanism" at the target page. 7 years ago, it was said that "Pawanism isn't notable on its own, but should be discussed on Pawan Kalyan" in an edit summary. However, it is not. There are multiple people named Pawan on Wikipedia; "Pawanism" is too vague in its current state. Utopes (talk / cont) 17:47, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I think the term is related to him. [1][2][3] I don't see harm in keeping the redirect and adding a short note somewhere in the page, although admittedly I'm not quite sure where it'd fit in. Golem08 (talk) 21:10, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pinkblood

No substantial mention of "Pinkblood" anywhere on Wikipedia; is only stated once in a citation on a different article. If this is a possibly notable group, seems to be worthwhile to keep as a red link to encourage article creation. Utopes (talk / cont) 17:59, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - Per this article from the Korea Times [4], this is what I could find on Pink Blood from SM. While there might be an argument to keep the first 2 redirects after using the info from the article to expand the SM Entertainment article, the remaining redirects should be deleted as Pink Blood is clearly not a future kpop group but rather a made-up term for fans of SM Entertainment. ⁂CountHacker (talk) 11:13, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jackahuahua

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

Dog breed redirected at a 2008 AfD, seemingly been unmentioned at the target for over a decade. It's misleading to maintain breed redirect for a dog type that holds zero information on Wikipedia. Utopes (talk / cont) 16:41, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could go to list of dog crossbreeds but that page doesn't mention it; however, it's only had 3 views in the past 30 days which probably includes me looking at it. I don't think this designer dog breed has much notability. Traumnovelle (talk) 19:24, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Easing function

Without a mention of "easing", making this already not a great target, there's also no mention of a "function" at the target either. While the page admittedly talks about an "ease-in" and an "ease-out", this is not necessarily an "easing function" and several other topics deal with "easing" as well. Utopes (talk / cont) 00:53, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Easing function is a common term in computer graphics, see [5] [6]. Maybe there's a better redirect target, or a new article is warranted, but this was the best I could find. 11wx (talk) 01:03, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:RFD#D8. This appears to be the spelling of Trotsky's name in various North Germanic languages and this spelling isn't used in the article. voorts (talk/contributions) 04:10, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Hey man im josh (talk) 18:10, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Bounding Into Comics is owned by Aurora Media, which is owned by All3Media. That's the relation, however the redirect doesn't seem particularly helpful; there's nothing mentioned at the target page. Golem08 (talk) 21:24, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bessel potential space

Sobolev space#Bessel potential spaces seems like a more precise target (though the articles should also ideally link to each other). 1234qwer1234qwer4 12:35, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:National football Cups (CAF region)

Delete although helpful but implausible rdr title moved to the correct wording in it. Would be surprised if this is kept. Intrisit (talk) 16:34, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A Platypus?

Not mentioned at the target, and rather obscure. Target will likely surprise a searcher even with the question mark at the end 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:BCC1:74D:C5C8:CF76 (talk) 15:27, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Frances and Richard Lockridge

Frances Lockridge now has her own page separate from her husband Bookworm-ce (talk) 14:48, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:R subtopic, Template:R subpage, Template:R plural

These redirects are ambiguous between the R to and the R from versions of the rcat templates:

If consensus is to delete, I'm happy to do a JWB run to replace transclusions. All the best, ‍—‍a smart kitten[meow] 12:43, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and disambiguate each with a hatnote in the {{Redirect category shell}}'s |h= parameter, such as |h=See also: {{R to subtopic}}|, for example. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 12:59, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    With respect, I don't see how this would solve the issue regarding ambiguity. When these rcat-redirects are used, they are used by typing the template code into a wikitext editor; and it seems unlikely that most editors using them will go to the redirect's own page (which, in addition to navigating to the redirect's title, generally requires clicking the Redirected from [X] link after arriving at the redirect's target).
    Keeping these redirects would also seem to be making a determination that the (de-facto) primary topic for an {{R foo}} rcat-redirect is {{R from foo}}, even where {{R to foo}} also exists - to me, this just seems to be an WP:XY-type situation, where keeping these redirects could cause confusion. All the best, ‍—‍a smart kitten[meow] 13:21, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Enbian

Retarget to wikt:enbian, where it's defined. --MikutoH talk! 00:44, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Racism

Shouldn't they have the same target? --MikutoH talk! 00:40, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
