Redirects for discussion (RfD) is the place where potentially problematic redirects are discussed. Items usually stay listed for a week or so, after which they are deleted, kept, or retargeted.

  • If you want to replace an unprotected redirect with an article, do not list it here. Turning redirects into articles is wholly encouraged. Be bold!
  • If you want to move a page but a redirect is in the way, do not list it here. For non-controversial cases, place a technical request; if a discussion is required, then start a requested move.
  • If you think a redirect points to the wrong target article, this is a good place to discuss the proper target.
  • Redirects should not be deleted just because they have no incoming links. Please do not use this as the only reason to delete a redirect. However, redirects that do have incoming links are sometimes deleted, so that is not a sufficient condition for keeping. (See § When should we delete a redirect? for more information.)

Please do not unilaterally rename or change the target of a redirect while it is under discussion. This adds unnecessary complication to the discussion for participants and closers.

Before listing a redirect for discussion

[edit]

Please be aware of these general policies, which apply here as elsewhere:

The guiding principles of RfD

[edit]
Shortcut
  • The purpose of a good redirect is to eliminate the possibility that readers will find themselves staring blankly at "Search results 1–10 out of 378" instead of the article they were looking for. If someone could plausibly enter the redirect's name when searching for the target article, it's a good redirect.
  • Redirects are cheap. They take up little storage space and use very little bandwidth. It doesn't really hurt things if there are a few of them scattered around. On the flip side, deleting redirects is also cheap because recording the deletion takes up little storage space and uses very little bandwidth. There is no harm in deleting problematic redirects.
  • If a good-faith RfD nomination proposes to delete a redirect and has no discussion after at least 7 days, the default result is delete.
  • Redirects nominated in contravention of Wikipedia:Redirect will be speedily kept.
  • RfD can also serve as a central discussion forum for debates about which page a redirect should target. In cases where retargeting the redirect could be considered controversial, it is advisable to leave a notice on the talk page of the redirect's current target page or the proposed target page to refer readers to the redirect's nomination to allow input and help form consensus for the redirect's target.
  • Requests for deletion of redirects from one page's talk page to another's do not need to be listed here. Anyone can remove the redirect by blanking the page. The G6 criterion for speedy deletion may be appropriate.
  • In discussions, always ask yourself whether or not a redirect would be helpful to the reader.

When should we delete a redirect?

[edit]


Shortcut

Further information: Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Common outcomes and Wikipedia:Moving a page § Moving over a redirect

The major reasons why deletion of redirects is harmful are:

  • a redirect may contain non-trivial edit history;
  • if a redirect is reasonably old (or is the result of moving a page that has been there for quite some time), then it is possible that its deletion will break incoming links (such links coming from older revisions of Wikipedia pages, from edit summaries, from other Wikimedia projects or from elsewhere on the internet, do not show up in "What links here").

Therefore consider the deletion only of either harmful redirects or of recent ones.

Reasons for deleting

[edit]
Shortcuts
See also: Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion § Redirects

You might want to delete a redirect if one or more of the following conditions is met (but note also the exceptions listed below this list):

  1. The redirect page makes it unreasonably difficult for users to locate similarly named articles via the search engine. For example, if the user searches for "New Articles", and is redirected to a disambiguation page for "Articles", it would take much longer to get to the newly added articles on Wikipedia.
  2. The redirect might cause confusion. For example, if "Adam B. Smith" was redirected to "Andrew B. Smith", because Andrew was accidentally called Adam in one source, this could cause confusion with the article on Adam Smith, so the redirect should be deleted.
  3. The redirect is offensive or abusive, such as redirecting "Joe Bloggs is a Loser" to "Joe Bloggs" (unless "Joe Bloggs is a Loser" is legitimately discussed in the article), or "Joe Bloggs" to "Loser". (Speedy deletion criterion G10 and G3 may apply.) See also § Neutrality of redirects.
  4. The redirect constitutes self-promotion or spam. (Speedy deletion criterion G11 may apply.)
  5. The redirect makes no sense, such as redirecting "Apple" to "Orange". (Speedy deletion criterion G1 may apply.)
  6. It is a cross-namespace redirect out of article space, such as one pointing into the User or Wikipedia namespace. The major exception to this rule are the pseudo-namespace shortcut redirects, which technically are in the main article space. Some long-standing cross-namespace redirects are also kept because of their long-standing history and potential usefulness. "MOS:" redirects, for example, were an exception to this rule until they became their own namespace in 2024. (Note also the existence of namespace aliases such as WP:. Speedy deletion criterion R2 may apply if the target namespace is something other than Category:, Template:, Wikipedia:, Help:, or Portal:.)
  7. If the redirect is broken, meaning it redirects to an article that does not exist, it can be immediately deleted under speedy deletion criterion G8. You should check that there is not an alternative place it could be appropriately redirected to first and that it has not become broken through vandalism.
  8. If the redirect is a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name that is not mentioned in the target, it is unlikely to be useful. In particular, redirects in a language other than English to a page whose subject is unrelated to that language (or a culture that speaks that language) should generally not be created. (Implausible typos or misnomers are candidates for speedy deletion criterion R3, if recently created.)
  9. If the target article needs to be moved to the redirect title, but the redirect has been edited before and has a history of its own, then the title needs to be freed up to make way for the move. If the move is uncontroversial, tag the redirect for G6 speedy deletion, or alternatively (with the suppressredirect user right; available to page movers and admins), perform a round-robin move. If not, take the article to Requested moves.
  10. Shortcut
    If the redirect could plausibly be expanded into an article, and the target article contains virtually no information on the subject.

Reasons for not deleting

[edit]
Shortcuts

However, avoid deleting such redirects if:

  1. They have a potentially useful page history, or an edit history that should be kept to comply with the licensing requirements for a merge (see Wikipedia:Merge and delete). On the other hand, if the redirect was created by renaming a page with that name, and the page history just mentions the renaming, and for one of the reasons above you want to delete the page, copy the page history to the Talk page of the article it redirects to. The act of renaming is useful page history, and even more so if there has been discussion on the page name.
  2. They would aid accidental linking and make the creation of duplicate articles less likely, whether by redirecting a plural to a singular, by redirecting a frequent misspelling to a correct spelling, by redirecting a misnomer to a correct term, by redirecting to a synonym, etc. In other words, redirects with no incoming links are not candidates for deletion on those grounds because they are of benefit to the browsing user. Some extra vigilance by editors will be required to minimize the occurrence of those frequent misspellings in article text because the linkified misspellings will not appear as broken links; consider tagging the redirect with the {{R from misspelling}} template to assist editors in monitoring these misspellings.
  3. They aid searches on certain terms. For example, users who might see the "Keystone State" mentioned somewhere but do not know what that refers to will be able to find out at the Pennsylvania (target) article.
  4. Deleting redirects runs the risk of breaking incoming or internal links. For example, redirects resulting from page moves should not normally be deleted without good reason. Links that have existed for a significant length of time, including CamelCase links (e.g. WolVes) and old subpage links, should be left alone in case there are any existing links on external pages pointing to them. See also Wikipedia:Link rot § Link rot on non-Wikimedia sites.
  5. Someone finds them useful. Hint: If someone says they find a redirect useful, they probably do. You might not find it useful—this is not because the other person is being untruthful, but because you browse Wikipedia in different ways. Evidence of usage can be gauged by using the wikishark or pageviews tool on the redirect to see the number of views it gets.
  6. The redirect is to a closely related word form, such as a plural form to a singular form.

Neutrality of redirects

[edit]
Shortcut

Just as article titles using non-neutral language are permitted in some circumstances, so are such redirects. Because redirects are less visible to readers, more latitude is allowed in their names, therefore perceived lack of neutrality in redirect names is not a sufficient reason for their deletion. In most cases, non-neutral but verifiable redirects should point to neutrally titled articles about the subject of the term. Non-neutral redirects may be tagged with {{R from non-neutral name}}.

Non-neutral redirects are commonly created for three reasons:

  1. Articles that are created using non-neutral titles are routinely moved to a new neutral title, which leaves behind the old non-neutral title as a working redirect (e.g. Climategate → Climatic Research Unit email controversy).
  2. Articles created as POV forks may be deleted and replaced by a redirect pointing towards the article from which the fork originated (e.g. Barack Obama Muslim rumor → deleted and now redirected to Barack Obama religion conspiracy theories).
  3. The subject matter of articles may be represented by some sources outside Wikipedia in non-neutral terms. Such terms are generally avoided in Wikipedia article titles, per the words to avoid guidelines and the general neutral point of view policy. For instance the non-neutral expression "Attorneygate" is used to redirect to the neutrally titled Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy. The article in question has never used that title, but the redirect was created to provide an alternative means of reaching it because a number of press reports use the term.

The exceptions to this rule would be redirects that are not established terms and are unlikely to be useful, and therefore may be nominated for deletion, perhaps under deletion reason #3. However, if a redirect represents an established term that is used in multiple mainstream reliable sources, it should be kept even if non-neutral, as it will facilitate searches on such terms. Please keep in mind that RfD is not the place to resolve most editorial disputes.

Closing notes

[edit]
Details at Administrator instructions for RfD

Nominations should remain open, per policy, about a week before they are closed, unless they meet the general criteria for speedy deletion, the criteria for speedy deletion of a redirect, or are not valid redirect discussion requests (e.g. are actually move requests).

How to list a redirect for discussion

[edit]
Shortcut
STEP I.
Tag the redirect(s).

  Enter {{subst:rfd|content= at the very beginning of the redirect page you are listing for discussion and enter }} at the very end of the page.

  • Please do not mark the edit as minor (m).
  • Please include in the edit summary the phrase:
    Nominated for RfD: see [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion]].
  • Save the page ("Publish changes").
  • If you are unable to edit the redirect page because of protection, this step can be omitted, and after step 2 is completed, a request to add the RFD template can be put on the redirect's talk page.
  • If the redirect you are nominating is in template namespace, consider adding |showontransclusion=1 to the RfD tag so that people using the template redirect are aware of the nomination.
  • If you are nominating multiple redirects as a group, repeat all the above steps for each redirect being nominated.
STEP II.
List the entry on RfD.

 Click here to edit the section of RfD for today's entries.

  • Enter this text below the date heading:
{{subst:Rfd2|redirect=RedirectName|target=TargetArticle|text=The action you would like to occur (deletion, re-targeting, etc.) and the rationale for that action.}} ~~~~
  • For this template:
    • Put the redirect's name in place of RedirectName, put the target article's name in place of TargetArticle, and include a reason after text=.
    • Note that, for this step, the "target article" is the current target of the redirect (if you have a suggestion for a better target, include this in the text that you insert after text=).
  • Please use an edit summary such as:
    Nominating [[RedirectName]]
    (replacing RedirectName with the name of the redirect you are nominating).
  • To list multiple related redirects for discussion, use the following syntax. Repeat line 2 for N number of redirects:
{{subst:Rfd2|redirect=RedirectName1|target=TargetArticle1}}
{{subst:Rfd2|multi=yes|redirect=RedirectName2|target=TargetArticle2}}
{{subst:Rfd2|multi=yes|redirect=RedirectNameN|target=TargetArticleN|text=The actions you would like to occur (deletion, re-targeting, etc.) and the rationale for those actions.}} ~~~~
  • If the redirect has had previous RfDs, you can add {{Oldrfdlist|previous RfD without brackets|result of previous RfD}} directly after the rfd2 template.
  • If appropriate, inform members of the most relevant WikiProjects through one or more "deletion sorting lists". Then add a {{subst:delsort|<topic>|<signature>}} template to the nomination, to insert a note that this has been done.
STEP III.
Notify users.

  It is generally considered good practice to notify the creator and main contributors of the redirect(s) that you nominate.

To find the main contributors, look in the page history of the respective redirect(s). For convenience, the template

{{subst:Rfd notice|RedirectName}} ~~~~

may be placed on the creator/main contributors' user talk page to provide notice of the discussion. Please replace RedirectName with the name of the respective creator/main contributors' redirect and use an edit summary such as:
Notice of redirect discussion at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion]]

Notices about the RfD discussion may also be left on relevant talk pages.

  • Please consider using What links here to locate other redirects that may be related to the one you are nominating. After going to the redirect target page and selecting "What links here" in the toolbox on the left side of your computer screen, select both "Hide transclusions" and "Hide links" filters to display the redirects to the redirect target page.

  • Retarget to Code word (figure of speech). The code word disambiguation page actually doesn't have any targets besides this one that fit a code phrase... the other links have to do with the exact match of "code word", like boardgames and puzzles by that name. While the DAB page does have this link, I don't see any reason to send our searcher there. Fieari (talk) 05:07, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Stray (film)

[edit]

I just made this edit to Stray regarding the subject mentioned at Stray (video game)#Film adaptation. However, it seems this subject may be the only film subject on Wikipedia titled just "Stray" without "A" or "The" before it, or the plural version "Strays". (See the redirect's current target for more details). For this reason, I am bringing up this discussion to see if my initial thought is a better option that the alternative I implemented: retarget to Stray (video game)#Film adaptation and then add a hatnote there referring back to Stray#Film in the case of ambiguity. Also note the existence of Draft:Stray (film), a draft about the subject mentioned in Stray (video game)#Film adaptation. Steel1943 (talk) 23:46, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

    BhagyaMani, not particularly reliable, but there's https://fishgame.com/2020/01/black-cougars-dont-exist/ which suggests there is some mix-up here.

The placename Yonama (与那間) in Tokunoshima actually exists, so it's probably an undocumented dialect that's only extracted by the existence of the toponym. If that's the case, it can be deleted.

  • Comment Summary news style redirects to Inverted pyramid (journalism), I've not found any other uses but searches are overwhelmed by maintenance templates and excluding them may have resulted in excluding encyclopaedic uses too. Thryduulf (talk) 14:54, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Third Lebanon War

[edit]

No evidence that this conflict is known as the "Third Lebanon war", and it isn't even mentioned at target either. CycloneYoris talk! 22:13, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

  • Keep: It is easy to concieve of this as being a common search term given media reporting. E.g., The Jerusalem Post states "Israel’s Third Lebanon War is underway". TarnishedPathtalk 06:29, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete First off, the comments above by non EC editors should be discounted per WP:ARBECR as such editor~s may only make edit requests and cannot participate in consensus forming discussions. Secondly, this redirect arose as a result of an undiscussed page move that was undone. There is so far little evidence that the Israel–Hezbollah conflict (2023–present) will escalate into a third war, limited incursions notwithstanding, although that is of course possible in the future.Selfstudier (talk) 10:47, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
    @Selfstudier, I've removed the non EC editors' comments per WP:ARBECR. TarnishedPathtalk 12:51, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Keep plenty of sources using the term to describe this conflict and I've not found any uses of the term to refer to other conflicts. As a second choice, this could be retargetted to the Lebanon War disambiguation page, but in practice this doesn't seem ambiguous. Thryduulf (talk) 13:49, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

  • Keep per Traumnovelle. Thryduulf (talk) 13:50, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Shamrock Airport

[edit]

Targets a list-class article that contains no specific information about the subject. The subject itself seems to fail WP:GNG and WP:NBUILD due to a lack of coverage in WP:SECONDARY sources excluding WP:ROTM mentions in aviation-related government and navigational databases, so it is unlikely that the redirect will ever warrant replacement with a full-blown article. Carguychris (talk) 19:17, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

  • Keep redirects don't have to meet WP:N (and don't have to have potential to be standalone articles) and particularly since the target has information about the airport that's most closely named to Shamrock Airport this is a generally useful redirect. Skynxnex (talk) 19:25, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Retarget to Brooklyn Airport, which has "Shamrock Airport" as an alternative name per the signage photo in the article. Targeting a prose article seems more helpful to readers, and a hatnote can always be added if necessary to the list. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 22:09, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Various Redirects ending in \

[edit]

Does not appear to be created in error, though it appears WP:UNNATURAL and gets approximately zero monthly page views. I'm not sure what the backslash has to do with the topic. 1234qwer1234qwer4 18:13, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Bundling these for convenience, all have basically the same nomination rationale and similar feature. Fieari (talk) 07:24, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

  • Delete All - Implausible typo, evidence being that they are basically unused per pageviews. Fieari (talk) 07:25, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete all. I strongly suspect these are typos from people who are using US keyboards where \ is adjacent to enter (especially if they are used to UK-layout keyboards where the enter key occupies both spaces), but the same typo could be made for literally any page title and page view evidence suggests they aren't commonly used search terms. Thryduulf (talk) 14:13, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
    Note though that TF-2000 class frigate/MEKO-A doesn't exist. I have no opinion whether that is a useful search term for the target or not. Thryduulf (talk) 14:14, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
    @Thryduulf, said page was moved to TF-2000 class frigate(MEKO-A) later. My original nomination for this redirect (which got deleted after bundling) also contained that the target page does not mention "MEKO-A". 1234qwer1234qwer4 14:59, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

TH hOLLOW TREE

[edit]

Appears to be a completely implausible redirect. This was the title of the page for roughly half an hour. 1234qwer1234qwer4 18:06, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

  • Delete Implausible, no useful history. Fieari (talk) 07:16, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
delete. that's a typo, a caps lock error, and that caps lock error being limited to a single word. i don't trust anyone over the age of zygote to make this many mistakes in a single search cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 11:54, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
Delete. The caps lock error is entirely plausible for someone attempting to type "The Hollow tree" or "the Hollow tree" (the automatic capitalisation of the first letter means the two are indistinguishable), and I explicitly do not endorse the personal attack on the redirect creator. However plausible the caps lock error is or isn't as a search term in isolation though, it definitely is not useful in combination with the missing "e" of "The".

Shiro sAGISU

[edit]

This was part of a mass nomination in 2019, but I suggest reconsidering this WP:UNNATURAL error that seems to be rather clearly created in error. See also the recent Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 September 20#NURALIZA oSMAN. 1234qwer1234qwer4 17:59, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

  • Comment this does seem natural, as some people style surnames in all caps, and the mistyped first letter failed to be SHIFTED -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 07:07, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep Gets somewhere around 5 hits a year, plus or minus one or two. The plausibility of this typo revolves around accidentally hitting the capslock key at the same time they hit shift for the second word. I don't feel strongly about it, but it seems harmless and WP:CHEAP to keep around, given that it does get some small consistent use over time. Fieari (talk) 07:31, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
delete as at least 2 layers of malformed that the search function can cover anyway cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 11:48, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

IMAX theatre at iSQUARE

[edit]

No mention of said theatre at target. I guess List_of_cinemas_in_Hong_Kong#UA_Cinemas could be an alternative. 1234qwer1234qwer4 17:50, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

The center for teaching and learning

[edit]

Not mentioned at target article (this is a redirect left from a page move long ago when moved to Center for Teaching and Learning which was first BLAR'd to the locality the school in question was in and now has been redirected to be a general article about educational centers. Given this has a leading "the" I have a preference to deletion but think retarget to Teaching and learning center or a better target if found would be fine too. Skynxnex (talk) 17:23, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Delete: I'm the editor who created the redirect 11 years ago while stub-sorting, by moving the non-notable school article to a better title. PamD 18:45, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
I'm trying to create a page for The Center For Teaching and Learning (https://c-t-l.org/). I am a parent of a child at the school and want to see the school described accurately via Wikipedia. 207Engineering (talk) 19:17, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
I've left a comment about how to best potentially draft such an article on @207Engineering's talk page. Skynxnex (talk) 19:35, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Наумович Городецкий Ефим

[edit]

Nonsensical word order; the patronymic is never named first. The correct Ефим Наумович Городецкий and Городецкий Ефим Наумович already exist. 1234qwer1234qwer4 17:13, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

King Roland

[edit]

Either disambiguate or redirect to List of Sofia the First characters, and target Roland I and Roland II to it, and Minimus is likely mentioned in the nominated target page. Also, I drafted Minimus (disambiguation), but it needs an improvement for the horse character. 88.235.230.49 (talk) 07:30, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Ghettosburg Address

[edit]

I don't see any reference for this term being applied to Cosby's speech in the article. Further, an old commenter didn't find any reference in his research. Veggies (talk) 04:35, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Comment: This discussion originally had listed Talk:Ghettosburg Address listed for discussion by nominator Veggies instead of Ghettosburg Address. Per the nominator's statement and the statement of the vote afterwards, this seems as though it was an unambiguous error, and I have updated this section with the presumably correct nomination information. Steel1943 (talk) 18:49, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Keep - Mentioned in lead of article. Fieari (talk) 06:47, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Ó. А. Лады́женская

[edit]

WP:UNNATURAL mistake with the "О́" being a Latin-script letter (apart from the fact that it's pretty much impossible that this is entered with the stress marks, which are only used in Russian in the headings of dictionary/encyclopaedia entries or in linguistics). 1234qwer1234qwer4 01:50, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

  • Delete, I would say keep if the О́ was Cyrillic, but the Latin script Ó makes this redirect utterly implausible and pointless. 🦬 Beefaloe 🦬 11:12, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
