March 7

[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on March 7, 2018.

Highway construction

[edit]

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 keep. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 00:32, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect is unclear. It should be retargeted to Highway or deleted, preferrably the latter since I could not find a good section in the aforementioned article to target this redirect. Steel1943 (talk) 22:42, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Day length

[edit]

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 keep. Per arguments below — use of "length" implies variation which implies "time" (n.b. — this logic is a good way to fail a physics test) ~ Amory (u • t • c) 00:45, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is unclear if these should target Day or Daytime, both articles about a length of time. My opinion is retarget to Day. Steel1943 (talk) 22:35, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Barring leap seconds, changes in Earth's rotation, etc., the literal length of a day doesn't change. But the length of daytime changes all the time at most latitudes, so if you're talking about "length of day", "daylength", etc., you're far more likely to be thinking of the time between sunrise and sunset, not variations away from 86,400 seconds. Nyttend (talk) 00:10, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As a point of interest, the Simple English wikipedia page Length of Day is actually a useful reference, and shows up at the top of some Google results. (For me anyway. That's why I discovered this discussion, because I got there first, then expected the en.wiki page to be a more indepth version of the simple.wiki page.)

The connection is unclear because the term is not mentioned at the target article. -- Tavix (talk) 21:55, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

London Underground 2014 Stock

The result of the discussion was delete. Killiondude (talk) 03:25, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary redirect. The London Underground 2014 stock trains were never built and are not going to be built as 2014 finished a long time ago. I don't see any reason why it should redirect to Piccadilly line. There is no evidence of this London Underground stock anywhere online. Pkbwcgs (talk) 21:41, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lilo & Stitch 3: Twin of Stitch

[edit]

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 delete. I can see where the logic is here: this is stylized as a Lilo & Stitch movie, it's the movie after Lilo & Stitch 2, and Leroy is Stitch's twin. All which adds up to deletion. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 00:31, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete redirect. The film Leroy & Stitch has never been released as Lilo & Stitch 3: Twin of Stitch, and that supposed title is inaccurate anyway (Leroy & Stitch is the fourth film, both released and chronologically in-universe, in the Lilo & Stitch franchise). –WPA (talk) 21:18, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Toyota Crown (S220)

[edit]

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 Keep Withdrawn by nominator. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:59, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect disambiguator (S220). I had moved this to Toyota Crown S220 as the car make and model but the CSD was declined so here it is. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:40, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - The Automobile project decided long ago at Wikipedia:WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions#Nomenclature that the standard title for a standalone article of this should be 'Toyota Crown (S220)'. Ie, the make 'Toyota', the model name 'Crown' and the model code'(S220)'. Other examples of standalone articles are Toyota Camry (XV50), Toyota Corolla (E170) and BMW M5 (E28). In this case, the Crown (S220) is not a standalone article but it makes perfect sense to have the redirect use the same format. That way, other article can link to Toyota Crown (S220) and be safe knowing that the link will work regardless of whether it goes to a standalone article or a redirect to a section in a bigger article. Even better, in the future we might create a new standalone article with far more details than the current small section in the Toyota Crown article. This is a major benefit of redirects that this rename or deletion will destroy.  Stepho  talk  21:18, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, will withdraw this. Please add the appropriate tags on the redirect itself and an embedded note to WP:AUTOCONV next time. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:14, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Don't forget to restore the original name. Otherwise a bot will systematically go through articles and change double redirects to the wrong form. Thanks.  Stepho  talk  23:03, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Breakfast cereal for people with syphilis

The result of the discussion was delete. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 00:19, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not a very notable quote, and I doubt we need redirects for every vaguely memorable quote anyway. Besides which, someone actually typing this is just as likely to be looking for the Moe Szyslak page. Thegreatluigi (talk) 11:38, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Give us the drugs, Lisa

[edit]

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 delete. Killiondude (talk) 03:26, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rather implausible, especially since the actual quote is "Give me the drugs, Lisa".. Thegreatluigi (talk) 11:35, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea if it is notable enough to create it as the quote does not show up in my usual news article searches. It's just weird that a typoed redirect would be there without the correctly phrased one. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:22, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Striking vote. Not seeing notability for the corrected line. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:23, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ruffrè

[edit]

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 keep. Closing early as it is obvious that the redirect won't be deleted, coupled with the fact that this discussion is now producing more heat than light. -- Tavix (talk) 17:12, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion: the only correct and full name of the municipalyty is "Ruffré-Mendola"; "Ruffrè" is an uncorrect spelling and name. 216.189.145.206 (talk) 09:33, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note - this can be considered a eubot creation: the article was originally created at this title automatically by one of eubot's tasks. It was created with the other diacritic in several other languages as well. Seems like it may be a plausible error. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:04, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The proposer said it: "an uncorrect (sic) spelling ...". Isn't that exactly what redirects are for? There is even a template for it. Lithopsian (talk) 17:30, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • If this had been about "Ruffré" it would had been all right. If it had been about "Ruffrè-Mendola" too. But what's the reason to keep "Ruffrè"? Then let's create the redirect "Ruffré" ("Ruffrè-Mendola" exists already), so that in case anybody should write "Ruffrè" the system would behave as if it was written "Ruffré" and he/she would be automatically redirected to "Ruffré-Mendola". What do you think about my proposal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.189.145.206 (talk) 18:24, 7 March 2018‎ (UTC)[reply]
      Feel free to create that redirect. As the initial portion of "Ruffré-Mendola" it is less helpful, but certainly not wrong. However, the presence or absence of Ruffré doesn't really affect the discussion here: see WP:OTHERSTUFF. Lithopsian (talk) 19:13, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • Now please tell me: in case the redirect "Ruffré" already exists, can you tell me one valid reason to keep an uncorrect "Ruffrè" too? Such reason would apply to every single name or word with an acute accent, so for absurd I could create a redirect with a grave accent for every single name or word with an acute accent and you would agree with it, right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.189.145.206 (talk) 08:09, 8 March 2018‎ (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Redirects are cheap, and redirection from parts of placenames is one reason why redirects exist. They help readers. What on earth is the problem? This redirect helps readers find the article they were presumably looking for, and causes no confusion.
User:Eubot or not (and I have strong negative feelings about eubot), the title in at least one other language uses the grave accent: de:Ruffrè-Mendola – which suggests that it is NOT incorrect everywhere. Our goal as editors should be to help to direct readers to what they're looking for, not to impose artificial standards. Narky Blert (talk) 22:59, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Narky Blert, you said both right and wrong: right because de.wikipedia has "Ruffrè-Mendola", while we're discussing about "Ruffrè"; wrong because our encyclopedy is not a primary source but is based on primary sources (second pillar), which makes your statement de.wikipedia uses the grave accent without rhymes in this context about sources. Wikipedia reports what reliable and authoritative sources report, and the only reliable and authoritative sources about Italian language orthography and pronunciation (and this applies to any language) are dictionaries, which register the acute accent form, period. A redirect correctly spelled "Ruffré" would help readers not less than the uncorrectly spelled redirect "Ruffrè". Or maybe to help readers you would like every article titled with a name and word with acute accent to have a redirect with grave accent too? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.189.145.206 (talk) 08:09, 8 March 2018‎ (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Narky's find. Like the English Wikipedia, other Wikipedias are not reliable sources for determining whether a certain usage is correct. However, other Wikipedias are reliable sources for determining whether a certain usage happens: whether it's a valid alternate usage, or a comparatively common mistake, Ruffrè is going to happen, so the person who goes to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruffrè ought to be able to reach this article as a result. Nyttend (talk) 00:07, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • As I've said twice already, if your aim is to help readers then why wouldn't a redirect spelled "Ruffré" be equally helpful but more correct? What precious help can a redirect spelled "Ruffrè" provide which couldn't be provided already by a redirect spelled "Ruffré"? Will you enlighten me please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.189.145.206 (talk) 08:09, 8 March 2018‎ (UTC)[reply]
      • False dichotomy: we can have both of those redirects. Just ask for it to be created. And speaking precisely, if this redirect doesn't exist but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruffré does, someone going to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruffrè will get a "this page doesn't exist" message. Sending them to the right place, instead of leaving them there, is help that we provide by having this redirect. Also, yes our encyclopedia is often based on primary sources, but it often is a primary source, and both are problems; but how is that related? Nyttend (talk) 11:27, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • Nyttend, I'm answering to everything you said. First, if you sustain that we can have both redirects for acute (correct) and grave (uncorrect) accents, then we could have both redirects for every single name or word with an acute (correct) and a grave (uncorrect) accents or viceversa, isn't it? Second, redirects weren't thought in case users type "/Redirectname" after "X.wikipedia.org/wiki", but in case they type "Redirectname" in the top-right bar "Search Wikipedia", and such an instrument works independently from diacritics, so that if "Ruffré" exists and "Ruffrè" doesn't exist a user who searches "Ruffrè" will be sent to the right place as if he had searched "Ruffré", or have I missed something? Third, in Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not I read: "Wikipedia does not constitute a primary source". On such bases, how can anybody still sustain that having "Ruffrè" in case we had already "Ruffré" would be somehow helpful to anybody? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.189.145.206 (talk) 12:25, 8 March 2018‎ (UTC)[reply]
          • WP:CHEAP. Sometimes a not-too-useful redirect gets created anyway, and if it's been there a while, it's often worth keeping even if it wasn't the best idea to create in the first place. Moreover, this is a very old redirect; there's been a page at this title since 2006. You'd risk breaking a lot of links (including all internal links to this article from 2006 until early 2008) by deleting this title. Primary source, virtually all our articles about breaking news are primary sources, since they're written at the time of the events; the folks who write these articles tend not to care about waiting until secondary sources exist, tend not to care about that part of WP:NOT. And how is that at all relevant? Finally, where's the policy that specifies that we only care about people who use the search bar? Why are you telling me that my way of reaching pages can be dismissed and ignored? Nyttend (talk) 03:45, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
            • I must be sleeping, this must be a dream, or better a nightmare, it just can't be true... I can't believe there's so much lack of logic in so many people! First, tell me then one reason to delete a not vandalic redirect, because if even useless and wrong redirects are normally kept anyway I can't really imagine which could be a reason to delete a redirect then. Second, before opening this request I've checked, there're no articles linking to "Ruffrè", just the few pages realted to the renaming and the current deletion. Third, either I need glasses or to improve my knowledge of English, because "you" keep saying that Wikipedia can be a primary source while in "WWin" I keep reading "Wikipedia does not constitute a primary source" and "our sister projects Wikisource and Wikinews do exactly that" (which doesn't mean what you said about breaking news: breaking news must always be sourced somewhere, me or you can't just write something by ourselves because this project is written by normal people without any title and has just to report what titled people write in titled sources, I can't believe I have to explain this to a 12-year-old Wikipedian). Last, and I think least too, try asking any Wikipedian "Do you think that redirects were created to redirect users clicking on wikilinks and searching a name or word through Wikipedia using the search bar, or to redirect users who type "/Redirectname" in the URL bar after "X.wikipedia.org/wiki"?" and tell me what they answer. Seriously, do you realise what you're hanging on not to admit this redirect has no real meaning to be kept? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.189.145.206 (talk) 08:10, 9 March 2018‎ (UTC)[reply]
              • For the final time, policy on primary sources and compliance with that policy are different. Your responses here are further proof of that: you are attempting to force everyone to deviate from our policies on redirects. No further responses will be forthcoming until you start listening and learn what a primary source is. Nyttend (talk) 11:59, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - of the 28 interlanguage links to Latin alphabets for the article, 16 use the è diacritic. Strongly suggests this is a common and regular spelling difference, not an error. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 12:23, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Ivanvector, actually it isn't an issue "redirect Ruffrè vs. main article Ruffré", but "redirect Ruffrè vs. main article Ruffré-Mendola". In case we had already the redirect "Ruffré" (which can be created in any moment) would you explain me why should we keep a cut-off and uncorrect name as redirect? Anyway, I invite you to read what I wrote above to Nyttend: if you sustain that "this is a common and regular spelling difference, not an error" on the bases of "of the 28 interlanguage links to Latin alphabets for the article, 16 use the è diacritic", it means you're considering the other wikis "primary sources", which they aren't: primary sources for spelling are dictionaries, which all register the "é" form... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.189.145.206 (talk) 19:41, 9 March 2018‎ (UTC)[reply]

White tree frog

The result of the discussion was keep. Please use hatnotes as needed. Killiondude (talk) 03:27, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not the same as White's tree frog so should be deleted for confusing white with green per WP:RFD#DELETE #5 (redirecting apple to orange) AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 04:14, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As far I can tell, there isn't any frog actually called a "White Tree Frog", and "White Tree Frog" is a common misnomer for the White's Tree Frog. Sort of like how Morning dove redirects to Mourning dove. MBD123 (talk) 04:13, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

At least morning and mourning are homonyms, but calling white green doesn't make sense, and White's is already there to pull that in. Would a dab be useful with PTMs such as White-lipped tree frog, White-black tree frog, White-edged tree frog, White Frog, White-spotted tree frog, AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:59, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
