February 13

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on February 13, 2019.

Pokemon Global Link

• Pokemon Global Link → Pokémon Black and White#Connectivity to other devices  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The redirect does not make sense (rule 5). Pokemon Global Link is a separate service that has connectivity features with Pokemon Black and White, but it also has connectivity features with other games with their own Wikipedia articles such as Pokemon X and Y, Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire and Sun and Moon and Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon. Connectivity features with the Pokemon Global Link can also often differ between Pokemon games, so a redirect to Pokemon Black and White does not make sense. Clovermoss (talk) 22:43, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• The redirect was made as this was a new feature, only available so far in this one game. If you think another page explains it better, feel free to select one. Unless you think it should just be deleted as realistically, looking at the pageviews tool, almost nobody searches for this term. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 23:46, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• @Blake: It was the first game to use the Pokémon Global Link, but not the only one. I think the main reason the redirect should be done away with though has to do with the functionality no longer working with Pokémon Black and White itself.^[1][2] Clovermoss (talk) 01:48, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• @Blake: However, functionality with other Pokémon titles does still work. One of these games is Pokémon Sun and Moon.^[3] On the low chance someone does search for Pokemon Global Link, they're likely interested in the functionality that still works with the more recent Pokémon titles, so I think the redirect should be at the very least be deleted from Pokémon Black and White. Clovermoss (talk) 01:55, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Perhaps this can go to a writeup in Pokémon (video game series) describing it in whichever Generation the feature first appears and when it was discontinued. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:15, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • It would be a better fit I think for Gameplay of Pokémon#Connectivity. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 20:22, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Clear-Cut (comics)

• Clear-Cut (comics) → List of Marvel Comics characters: C#Clear-Cut  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Redirects to broken anchor. Two incoming links in article space, a passing mention of the character that could be deleted, and a disambiguation page. Should be deleted. Namenamenamenamename (talk) 22:47, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Shinobi Shaw. BOZ (talk) 01:56, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Isolationist (comics)

• Isolationist (comics) → Rictor  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Not enough context about this character at target for this redirect to make sense. Page was previously deleted at AfD. Namenamenamenamename (talk) 22:34, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to List of X-Men enemies. BOZ (talk) 02:01, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Godfrey Calthrop

• Godfrey Calthrop → List of Marvel Comics characters: C#Godfrey Calthrop  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

No incoming links in article space. Namenamenamenamename (talk) 22:20, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to List of X-Men enemies. BOZ (talk) 02:07, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mature content

• Mature content → Entertainment Software Rating Board  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Suggest retargeting to Content rating as a reasonable disambiguation page to get to from "Mature content". Currently this redirects to ESRB, which only handles video games in the United States, and is thus far more specific a target than a search term like this would indicate. Various attempts over the last couple years to retarget have been reverted by Redrose64, advising to take the matter to RfD instead, so here we are. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:46, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Oops, Content rating isn't quite a disambig page, but a stub with a healthy list of See Alsos (including the ESRB, as well as other video game rating bodies, as well as bodies for other media). So I think this still works. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 17:05, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  See also Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 September 5#Adult content, which wound up as a delete. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 18:57, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep for now as "Rated M for Mature" is mainly an ESRB rating. CERO uses different schemes. Same with MPAA, and US Television uses TV-MA. Could use a hatnote to content rating and mature (disambiguation) AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:20, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  @AngusWOOF: Wait, what? Rated M for Mature isn't up for discussion (not to mention it doesn't even exist). "Mature content" is not the name of any rating, those of the ESRB included. "Mature content" is a vague descriptor that has no more relation to anything the ESRB does than it does to any other ratings board. Why single out the ESRB? Looking at just the film boards, all mention "mature" somehow. The Canadian Home Video Rating System even has "Mature Theme" as a specific descriptor. The British Board of Film Classification has "mature themes" as part of their 15 rating. Why is this picking the ESRB's M and not TV-MA? This either boils down to: 1) delete per WP:XY, or 2) Find a good high-level target that can point a reader to a number of potential destinations, which I think is generally a better option, and which I think Content rating seems to fit. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 03:46, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Non-GMO corn

• Non-GMO corn → Zea diploperennis  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 
• Non-gmo corn → Zea diploperennis  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Appears to be a joke. People who are unconcerned about GMOs sometimes point out that all domesticated plants are "genetically modified", but that is being deliberately obtuse; people who are concerned about GMOs believe that certain modern techniques for genetic modification are, well, concerning. There are several theories regarding Maize#Origin, and Zea diploperennis is not considered to be ancestral to maize in all of them. If the premise of the deliberately obtuse joke is accepted, there are multiple targets for "Non-GMO corn". There isn't any good target for the concept of "Non-GMO corn" that GMO-concerned folks are using. Plantdrew (talk) 18:57, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• We should consider Genetically modified maize and tagging {{R from antonym}}, though I have mixed feelings about that Rcat. --BDD (talk) 19:54, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Note that, in response to notification, the creator posted the following: It was just a stupid joke (because corn as we know it does not and cannot exist in nature), so do what you want with it. Provided it doesn't get turned into an antiscience propaganda page. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 15:18, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Meou

• Meou → Chinese units of measurement#Chinese area units promulgated in 1915  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This is a very anomalous romanisation variant for the Chinese unit mǔ (畝), not mentioned on the destination page. Dictionaries suggest that it is a variant spelling of "meouw", the noise a cat makes. This redirect is therefore unnecessary and misleading; a reader would struggle to see that it was meant to be mǔ Imaginatorium (talk) 11:33, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Meow, because it's a somewhat likely misspelling. 85.76.81.169 (talk) 11:55, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Meow as alternative spelling, as per Wiktionary. No major media with this title otherwise. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:39, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Glasshole

• Glasshole → Google Glass  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The term "Glasshole" doesn't appear in the target page, so I think this could be retargetted to it's Wiktionary entry, which contains more information about the term. 46.132.189.118 (talk) 05:41, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Wiktionary as above. It would be a different case for Glass hole though. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:13, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

CarbSmart ice cream products

• CarbSmart ice cream products → Breyers  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete Does not appear in target article. UnitedStatesian (talk) 04:35, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nominator. 46.132.189.118 (talk) 12:20, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete actually CarbSmart ice cream already exists to handle this redirect and CarbSmart is trademarked to Breyers [1] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:17, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

List of secondary Imaginary Friends at Foster's

• List of secondary Imaginary Friends at Foster's → Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends#Characters  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This redirect is weak, even compared to the rest of the FHFIF redirects. Paper Luigi ^{T • C} 12:02, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to List of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends characters which lists all the characters, whether they mean the "recurring characters", "recurring imaginary friends" or "other characters" the redirect will take them to the content they are clearly looking for. Thryduulf (talk) 13:22, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to List of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends characters#Recurring Imaginary Friends Apparently the Imaginary Friends are a grouping of characters there. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:11, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Big Fat Awesome House Party for fosters home for imaginary friends

• Big Fat Awesome House Party for fosters home for imaginary friends → Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends#Promotions  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

There is no other Big Fat Awesome House Party than the one for FHFIF. Even if this were a disambig, it's formatted very oddly. Paper Luigi ^{T • C} 12:10, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per WP:CHEAP it's accurate and harmless. Thryduulf (talk) 13:20, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

0.9999999999999999999999999999999

• 0.9999999999999999999999999999999 → 0.999...  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Implausible and unlikely to be searched and used. No one will add thirty-one "9"s to search for 0.999..., now let's set the limit to 30 "9"s. It could be changed later B dash (talk) 02:59, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. There are a countable infinity of such pointless entries... Imaginatorium (talk) 11:35, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• There are redirects with the numbers of nines ranging from 31 all the way down to four, and it looks like we're going to debate them each. Wouldn't it be better to go for a single discussion to decide on a a cut-off point rather than have individual RfD nominations? – Uanfala (talk) 15:24, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, the redirect is harmless and goes to a target that makes sense. On the other hand, having several discussions to establish where an arbitrary cut-off would be is not harmless due to the time sink this causes. -- Tavix ^(talk) 21:25, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
