March 1

[edit]
The nominated redirect was deleted. The majority (8 against 5) wants to delete the redirect and the policy (WP:SELF) supports this; furthermore, the article does not mention that it's the one millionth article, and the strawpoll on the talk page indicates that that is not going to change. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 07:31, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Post scriptum: Combining with the discussion for the redirect at One million articles (nominated on 2 March), I count 10 editors arguing for deletion (cesarb, Ziggurat, BrokenSegue, P199, Pavel Vozenilek, Cryptic, Grocer, Chick Bowen, bodgan, Whouk) and 8 that it be kept (Kappa, Johntex, Kilo-Lima, Clarkefreak, Zocky, God of War, lancaddy, Moa3333). -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 07:45, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Can you show me where this was decided? Sorry if I have restarted this issue. --Fang Aili
Where what was decided? No-self reference? That has been policy for as long as I can remember. See WP:SELF. Also, Wikipedia:Redirect says that a redirect should be deleted if "It is a cross-space redirect out of article space, such as one pointing into the User or Wikipedia namespace." This issue has never been controversial there is nothing to start. The policy is pritty cut and dry (at least, I hope you don't start some thing, it'd annoy me if yet another policy that I agree came under attack). BrokenSegue 01:10, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, ok. I was just asking. I was not familiar with that policy. --Fang Aili 14:31, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep and Strongest Objection. That redirect does no harm in anyway that I can see. I don´t think that any article is going to be written with that title. It is quite usefull and easy to use (a official goal of Wikipedia) for new and old users. I also object how the whole matter is being dealt by over-eager users. You listed that re-direct in this list, that is true (see below), but as two users showed that they did not agree, you simply ignored their view and deleted the re-direct anyway. This is not a shootinglist where someone announces that he going to kill a wild animal and then does it regardless of everything. This is place where someone asks for the opinion of other users and tries to reach a agreement. Therefore I must most strongly object the deletion of this redirect and also your behaviour.

Comment. This might be an instance of WP:IAR. There's at least one precedent for it: List of admins redirects to Wikipedia:List of administrators. --Fang Aili 19:31, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No, I'm afraid its an instance of people not understanding the rules. (The List of admins link is wrong as well) In Wikipedia:Redirect ona t the top of this page it is made clear that such redirects (no matter how convenient) are to be deleted. The users who are voting here don't understand this policy. As to Flamarande's comments I say AGF. I did nothing of the sort. I didn't even delete this template (and I deleted nothing after listing them here as you suggested). So I have no idea what you are talking about. Also note that two other respected admins (Tony Sidaway and Pathoschild) speedied this redirect (they were right to do so), but to clear it for users who don't understand the policy on inter-namespace redirects I listed them here. I am not here to destroy your userboxes *sheesh* this isn't a conspiracy. Cross-namespace redirect = bad and have always been that way. We're only having this conversation because it's about userboxes. I fear mentioning this, but a few clicks down the page you will find the uncontrovertial nomination of Rollback feature. If you want a quick way to acess the userboxes page use the WP shortcuts (WP:UB). BrokenSegue 21:07, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
First I have to apolagize to Broken. I confused him with the administrator who deleted the redirects whithout following proper channels and also imediatly put a deletedpages on it (see the talpages). I am sorry. But there a lawfull exceptions to rule mentioned above which (in my opinion) also apply to these case. Flamarande 18:00, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to think that it falls under: "*5. It is a cross-space redirect out of article space, such as one pointing into the User or Wikipedia namespace."
I can certainly understand that, but fact is that these redirects also fall under: However, avoid deleting such redirects if:"*3. They aid searches on certain terms." and "*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 a liar, but because you browse Wikipedia in different ways."
    • Delete per norm. Those who voted keep, see BrokenSegue's rationale at Talk:Userboxes. This isn't a move against userboxes. All such inter-namespace redirects should be deleted. --Fang Aili 21:53, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep, redirects are cheap. Matt Yeager ♫ (Talk?) 03:13, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep - Look at the alternative: a user who wants to find out how to use userboxes types it in the searchbox, only to get an ugly page with a "this page has been deleted" notice on it. What kind of impression does that give to a newbie about the usability of Wikipedia? To whose benefit is that? The user isn't looking for an encyclopedia article on it, they just want to add the damn things to their userpage, or take a look at the gallery of them. Without a deleted notice page nor a redirection, the result is a search list with Wikipedia:Userboxes right at the top. Your solution has users seeing a "deleted" notice page, forcing them to backtrack to hit the search button. Why not cut the steps down to one: hit the go button and go straight to the desired page? IT MAKES NO SENSE TO HAMPER THE USABILITY OF WIKIPEDIA FOR THE SAKE OF A PEDANTIC RULE. Please don't break the search box: I typed in "userboxes" and got an ugly page with a notice leading me here. This is NOT what I was looking for! Think of the user and what he or she wants to find when typing in the term. Make Wikipedia work better, make it intuitive. Empathize with the user, for that's who we are serving. --Go for it! 04:58, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Strong keep. What harm is this page doing anyone? You might not like userboxes, but it's an awfully cheap way to get rid of them--by making them impossible for new users to learn about. AmiDaniel 06:20, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Strong keep. I think this deletion was made by a group of strict interpreters of wikipedia policy, and it is rediculous to delete this, unless someone will write an article on userboxes that is informative, and includes a link to the wikipedia userspace page, but that encyclopedic information is already found in the wiki-space. It is a useful link that makes wikipedia easier to navigate. Clarkefreak ∞ 23:17, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Userboxes → Wikipedia:Userboxes -- Same as the above, but it's a soft redirect (even worse). BrokenSegue 23:07, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Strong Keep I have advocated the recreation of the redirect ever since that weird deletion conspricy. Beside, many new users will have no idea how to find userboxes without it. If this is deleted, might as well do this to all redirects. The Republican 03:34, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Strong Keep the policy on no self-references does not mean that no search term or redirect can point to an article about Wikipedia. The policy is meant to prevent *useless* self-references, such as "This Wikipedia article is about Cats" at the top of the Cat article. Johntex\talk 03:49, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Strong Keep I can see no wrong with this redirect. I helps the WikiUser and does no harm. I can only ask you to explain us what harm is done by that redirect. Flamarande 18:14, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Duly noted, but please notice this article was created under different circumstances, deleted a few times, then recreated as a redirect.

    • Under the Double Eagle → Josef Wagner (composer) -- This is a piece of music written by Wagner which redirects to Wagner. This is inappropriate. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 20:48, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Keep. I'm not sure why you think that's inappropriate. Pointing people to where information is discussed when there's not an article on the topic is one of the purposes of redirects. -- JLaTondre 22:25, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • The reason for the existence of this particular redirect is almost definitely because it is displayed on the page March (music), where a link to Wagner's page is prominently displayed right next to the piece. I would say that its fine for this particular piece to redirect to Wagner, but it's sort of inappropriate since not all of Wagner's music redirects to him, and, indeed, far more prominent marches do not redirect to their composers, so the redirect seems somewhat out of place and redundant. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 23:11, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Keep: in the absence of an article on the march itself I can see at least two places that the redirect might point, the composer (it's current target) or a list of the composer's pieces (such as List of works by Josef Wagner), which in many cases is in fact part of the composer's biographical article. I can see, though, the point of deleting it if one wishes to discourage a trend of creating redirects for every one of every artist's works. I waffle back and forth on that particular notion.

      • Strong Keep - Demo version, while an uncommonly used term these days, has been a rather common way to refer to a demo in the past and I wouldn't be surprised if people still searched for the term demo version today.
      • Keep but redirect should point to an article like Game demo, instead of to a disambig page. AmiDaniel 01:07, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    The nominated redirect was deleted. User:King V seems to be in the know. I'm slightly worried though about the number of pages linking to GM 3200 engine. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 07:14, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • GM_3200_engine → GM_60-Degree_V6_engine -- There is no such thing as a GM 3200 engine. There was, in 1978 and 1979, a Buick 3.2L V6 (196 CID), but it was based on the Buick 3.8L V6, and it was never called a 3200. Both are 90 degree V6 engines, not 60 degree. The Buick 3.2L is mentioned on the GM 3800 engine page. King V 16:30, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Tentative Keep- searching for this sounds like an honest mistake someone might make. Reyk 21:37, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • But it would still be incorrect, and direct them to the wrong page. The problems are that the Buick 3.2L V6:
          • pre-dates the GM_60-Degree_V6_engine
          • is a 90-degree design, not a 60-degree design.
          • pre-dates GM's use of rounded-off cc designations such as 3300, 3800, etc., in lieu of liter-designations such as 3.0, 4.1 by about 9 to 10 years. GM didn't start the cc designations until 1988.
        • That's my take on it, anyway. I might grudgingly concede that the redirect should be left in, and redirect to the LC9 entry on the 3800's page, but given my third point listed above, I don't really think that would be such a good idea, either. --King V 22:19, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    • Premears → Disney Channel Original Movie -- I'm not quite sure why this redirect was created. I believe the creator meant create "Premiers", but even still, why it would redirect to Disney Channel Original Movie isn't made clear. Just because the movies premier on Disney Channel, doesn't mean Premears has to redirect to it. lightdarkness (talk) 03:33, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • I created this because of the old name of Disney Channel Original movies was premEARS (check [5]), but mostly because there is already a redirect for premEARS (The title is PremEARS on Wiki), and if someone typed this with the wrong spelling, I figured this would direct them where they wanted.

    • Protologism → Neologism. AfD deleted this article but it has reappeared as a redirect. Given that the word is Wikipedic navel gazing, appears in no dictionaries and that Wikipedia is not one and that Wikipedia has already rejected the term as unsuitable for inclusion, there is no case for retaining such a redirect. It's already at Wiktionary, which allows protologisms; we all know that Wikpedia does not, and we should resist the temptation to think that invented terminology is somehow encyclopedic just because it's handy in AfD debate. It also should not be alternatively targetted out of article space, since such redirects are bad. -Splashtalk 02:09, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • We have Wikipedia:Neologism already for just that purpose. That page should be edited if necessary, but we should not clutter the encyclopedia with such things out of what really amounts to laziness: the inner workings of things, by long, very intelligent practise, have no place appearing in article space. We make some exceptions, but really this isn't one of them since, as indicated by the Whatlinkshere list, it is only ever referred to in AfD. Make a WP: shortcut to Wikipedia:Neologism, by all means, but don't pollute article space. -Splashtalk 02:28, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • That would seem to work. So why not just redirect to that page? The important thing is that a user can type protologism into the search page and get to an explanation, because that's how people find info here. I don't think you are suggesting that new users would know a shortcut.-- JJay 12:14, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    The nominated redirect was no longer a redirect. — Apr. 2, '06 [19:24] <freakofnurxture|talk>

    ====Cultural intelligence --> Race and intelligence.==== User:Proto created the page and redirect after a question at the reference desk, with the mistaken assumption that cultural intelligence was linked to race. The two topics are, in fact, completely unrelated, as this google search demonstrates (cultural intelligence is an organisational psych/ management theory about how people of different cultures relate to each other, and cultural diversity within organisations). I reverted the redirect and requested that the page be speedied (as it was then blank) and was directed here. I will be happy to request that the article on cultural intelligence be created once it stops redirecting to something totally inappropriate. Natgoo 22:57, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    I've written a stub on the topic, the issue's now fixed. Natgoo 18:04, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Oops, my bad, I speedied it as an implausible typo (created by pagemove error) and forgot to say so. I got sidetracked trying to figure out why the hell the target article had an &emdash; instead of a hyphen. — Mar. 30, '06 [12:37] <freakofnurxture|talk>

    The nominated redirect was Redirected to SPL. Spl was changed to an article on sound pressure level. Since there is already a sound pressure level article, this was redudant. The easiest solution was to redirect Spl to SPL which has sound pressure level as one of the disambig destinations. I recognize closing a nomination you've been involved with is against protocal, but given it matches the recommendations of both responders & is the easiest way to deal with the nomination being replaced with a duplicate article, I'm going to be bold. -- JLaTondre 13:47, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply] The above is preserved as the archive of an RfD nomination.

    I think a reasonable English version would be simply missing the diacritics, but this one is a gross misspelling--"i" instead of "y", and missing "cz". Appleseed (Talk) 22:17, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Keep These are helpful redirects. Anyone trying to spell the name only having heard it rather than seen it is quite likely to use an I. They are not doing any harm are they? ~ Veledan • Talk 16:04, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    As I mentioned on Kusma's talk page, the misspellings are so flagrant and bizarre that there's no way someone would be able to reproduce them. There are many easy ways to find the page if you don't know how to spell the article name or the name of a dozen of its more valid redirects: the Polish monarchs template, categories, and other articles.

    I think a reasonable English version would be simply missing the diacritics, but this, too, is a gross misspelling; it adds an "i" and is missing an "e". Appleseed (Talk) 22:17, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Delete. Google seems to agree with you; this misspelling is only found on Wikipedia mirrors. Kusma (討論) 23:11, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
