- Wikipedia is not a barbarian horde → Wikipedia:Not a barbarian horde (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This is similar to the discussion on What wp is not and similar cross-namespace redirects, but I didn't want to add on to that discussion, which has been running for over a month. The target page is a low-visibility essay with six total edits, so I don't think a cross-namespace redirect would do much here except add possible confusion to readers. The statistics show that the redirect had 149 pageviews over its four-year history. –Sonicwave talk 21:42, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. No basis for having a cross namespace redirect to such an obscure essay. PC78 (talk) 21:47, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- Delete redundant, non-searchable term, also per PC78. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:51, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

Conquer the World
- 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 retarget to World domination. There is not much of a consensus, both overall and whether to target the section, but BDD explains well why it's better not to target the section so I'm going with that. -- Tavix (talk) 19:29, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- Conquer the World → List of MicroProse games (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Retarget to World_domination#Social_and_political_ideologies, where the term is mentioned in a meaningful context. Per WP:RFD#DELETE Criteria 10, as the target article (the list) contains virtually no information on the subject (the video game compilation). The year of the release and description of it are both unreferenced (previously referenced to an unreliable website for references), so it's not offering any sourced content for the viewer. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 20:44, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
- Redisambiguate per nom SpinnerLaserz (talk) 19:36, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
- @SpinnerLaserz: I'm confused what you mean by this comment; the nominator did not suggest disambiguation. Steel1943 (talk) 03:48, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- We can use this in order to avoid confusion by disambiguate it. SpinnerLaserz (talk) 04:01, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- @SpinnerLaserz: I'm confused what you mean by this comment; the nominator did not suggest disambiguation. Steel1943 (talk) 03:48, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- Weak retarget, though just to World domination. The proposed section uses the phrase, but doesn't really discuss it in a way that merits a section redirect (cf. WP:UMD). And we should really still hatnote back to the game. Given the capitalization, I would be fine with keeping this as is too. MobyGames may be officially considered an unreliable source for the WikiProject, but consider that the only thing we're trying to verify here is whether such a product existed. Is it possible that this website cooked up a hoax video game compilation from 1997, and that eBay has gotten in on the hoax by selling fake products from the nonexistent compilation? I'm going to say no. There's no reason to think the content at List of MicroProse games is at all wrong. --BDD (talk) 21:10, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

- Wikipedia:FOLK → Wikipedia:WikiProject Roots music (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Unused with no incoming links, could also refer to Wikipedia:WikiProject Folklore. Note that folk is a dab page. PC78 (talk) 17:33, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Ambiguity in shortcuts is not a problem, and while it doesn't get many hits its not entirely unsued so unless you're active wanting to use this as a redirect to somewhere else now, then there is no benefit in doing anything other than leaving it as is. Thryduulf (talk) 10:48, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
- It was used exactly six times last year. Did those users arrive at the page they expected? Who can say, but for my own part I used it more in hope than expectation. It might be more intuitive though if it targets the WikiProject that at least has "folk" in its title. PC78 (talk) 14:48, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

- Disambiguate per the point about this being ambiguous and while we don't commonly have project DAB pages since, when there are only hatnotes often work better, WP:PT however is one (though if has 6 entries) the fact that it could easily mean either suggests disambiguation is best. I have provided a draft though if there are more entries they can be added. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:24, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

- Keep per Thryduulf, and add a hatnote to the folklore project. I'm open to changing it if the folklore project were much larger or more active, or if many editors have been using this wrong, but none of this has been demonstrated. --BDD (talk) 20:59, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

- Mozo → Doraemon: Nobita's Chronicle of the Moon Exploration (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Fancrufty, "Mozo" is mentioned in the article only in the cast list. An internet search would suggest that the Doraemon character is by no means the most searched-for thing with this name. I would suggest deletion. signed, Rosguill talk 18:45, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
- Keep per nom. This can be found here (https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ドラえもん_のび太の月面探査記#ゲストキャラクター) and here (https://doraeiga.com/2019/character/) This is the name of the character in that film. SpinnerLaserz (talk) 19:06, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
- Disambiguate. This is a surname (Alan Mozo, Alejandro Gutiérrez Mozo, Belén Mozo, Nicolás de Vergara el Mozo, etc.). Diego de Almagro II was known as "El Mozo". In addition to the fictional character, previous incarnations of this article were about a recurring character in Peter Gabriel songs and an Australian financial website. - Eureka Lott 15:42, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

- Bumper (transformers) → Lists of Transformers characters (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I request deletion as it's meant as a redirect to Bumper (Transformers), a redirect to the same page that was cut. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 20:30, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Bearing in mind that Bumblejumper & Bumblejumper (Transformers) were both kept it would make sense to restore that other redirect and retarget accordingly. After all, "Bumper" is the official name of the character whereas "Bumblejumper" is a fandom name. Deleting the former while keeping the latter makes zero sense. PC78 (talk) 22:00, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
- Both names refer to the same character, in case that wasn't clear. PC78 (talk) 06:16, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: As the deleting admin from Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2019 June 3#Bumper (Transformers), I'd be okay with restoring Bumper (Transformers) if this is kept. -- Tavix (talk) 00:33, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
- In that case, keep Bumper (transformers) and restore Bumper (Transformers), pointing both to Cliffjumper#Toys. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 20:20, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
Relisting comment: There is consensus that the redirect should not be deleted but should it be kept as-is or retargeted?

- I maintain my previous statement. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 18:54, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was delete. Deryck C. 14:36, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
The word "trangst" is an uncommon and non-notable neologism/portmanteau word, apparently meaning angst experienced by a transgender or transsexual person. There's no mention of it at the target article, no wiktionary entry, and no coverage in reliable sources. Cheers, gnu57 20:43, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

- =rand() → The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Why would a pangram be the result of the "rand()" function in Excel or elsewhere? We expect the result to be a random number, not a sentence. The redirect should be retargeted to Pseudorandom number generator to match the redirect rand(). GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 05:01, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- Retarget per nom. Actually, I expect a WP:SNOW close if this receives significant discussion. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:08, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- Weak retarget – the target page has the following sentence: "Microsoft Word has a command to auto-type the sentence, in versions up to Word 2003, using the command =rand(), and in Microsoft Office Word 2007 and later using the command =rand.old().". The "=" doesn't seem like it would it be added in by accident for someone intending to search "rand()"; however given that this is no longer the behavior in newer versions of Word, it should probably be retargeted. –Sonicwave talk 06:46, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- Retarget per nom. That would be the most intuitive target, especially when one considers the widespread use of this type of function. ComplexRational (talk) 12:10, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - Assuming we shouldn't add an article for a non-notable feature of older software. It would be confusing to redirect a specific name for one thing to a different thing. That removing the "=" makes "=rand()" a different thing and "=rand()" can't have it's own article, doesn't mean we get to make "=rand()" synonymous with "rand()"; which, is not what it means. Not every combination of characters needs what we think is the best target. - NewageEd (talk) 00:14, 29 August 2019 (UTC).

- Delete for now, unless any actually verifiable information on the character can be added to the target list (keep it in that case). The original article content is unreferenced, so I doubt it. Geolodus (talk) 08:44, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

- Keep. Unambiguously takes readers where they are wanting to go. -- Tavix (talk) 13:39, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
- It violates WP:THE by cluttering up the search box. Since it does not have "the" as part of its name, it is in contravention of naming guidelines.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:43, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
- Naming guidelines are irrelevant to redirects because they are not article titles. If this were an WP:RM and you were wanting the article changed from The digimon to Digimon, then you'd have a point. To resolve the "search box clutter", tag it with {{R unprintworthy}} or an RCAT that categorizes it likewise. -- Tavix (talk) 19:07, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

I would support retargeting to WP:Redirect instead of the WikiProject, assuming that is what the OP is suggesting.Actually I'm not that sure anymore; this redirect seems a bit vague. According to WhatLinksHere, it seems at least a few people ([1] [2] [3]) intended for it to refer to WP:Reliable sources, and I could see this referring to WP:Reverting as well – but any of those targets would be more intuitive than the WikiProject. –Sonicwave talk 22:24, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Steel1943 (talk) 19:33, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - generally speaking for shortcuts, whichever project claims them first is respected, unless there are good reasons to change it to something else. Per the nom's own statement there is no obvious single better target, so it should just stay the same. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 12:30, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
- Well on that basis it was initially targeted to Wikipedia:Redirect, albeit for just two days: [4] I'm somewhat sympathetic to the notion of retargeting but agree that the nomination is rather muddled. Surely WP:R offers greater ambiguity if that's the concern? PC78 (talk) 09:26, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Steel1943 (talk) 04:06, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

No scholarly articles/WP:V sources linking "Mr. Muggs" to Jim Jones. Google search produces blog posts that state Jones had a pet monkey named "Mr. Muggs". Monkey/pet/"Mr. Muggs" not referenced within wiki article. AldezD (talk) 12:48, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, there are numerous works about Peoples Temple and Jonestown that mention Mr. Muggs (such as Raven), as a cursory search on Google Books would show. He was named after J. Fred Muggs, who as far as I know was never himself referred to as "Mr. Muggs," so Mr. Muggs can only refer to the monkey associated with the Temple. I think it would make more sense for the article to redirect to Peoples Temple or Jonestown, since it was as an unofficial mascot that Muggs was notable in any way, not the fact Jones had him as a pet. --Ismail (talk) 12:31, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

- No, because a redirect is not an article and the deletion discussion did discuss a redirect there has never been a consensus to delete a redirect at this title. Even if there had been a prior discussion it would only qualify for G4 if that discussion had considered the current target or one very similar to it. Anything else is not substantially identical. Thryduulf (talk) 23:44, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
- You are right; this is not "substantially identical" to the deleted article; this is no content, not a recreation of a deleted article, just a way of trying to reclaim the title. But as for the other points, 1) I don't see anything at that deletion discussion that mentions a possible redirect; enlighten me. 2) The original article was literally described as a joke (hoax) by the author at the time of its creation. 3) The term does not appear at the target article. -- MelanieN (talk) 02:41, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Speaking as someone on the spectrum (professionally diagnosed) myself: The phrase is used enough that people will be searching for it, whether any particular redirect exists or not -- if only because it's an "inside joke" for a group that's notoriously bad at getting the joke. When people do search for it, neurotypical is probably the most useful target. Meanwhile, there's enough autisphobia on places like 4chan that the redirect will likely be vandalized if not protected.

or something similar. Some of his other shortcuts have already been deleted. I stopped using most shortcuts to rcats several years ago, because newly registered editors who wanted to work on redirect categorization had a problem with them.

Force of law
- 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. Various retargeting options have been suggested, but none have gained any traction. I note that all of these suggested targets either do not exist or do not use the phrase. Others have commented that it'd be nice to have an article on this phrase (or at the very least, a section somewhere this could redirect to), so WP:REDLINKing the phrase should hopefully encourage that to develop in the future. -- Tavix (talk) 22:25, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
I think "force of law" means something quite different from force (law): see search results for the phrase, which mostly use the phrase to mean something like the status of being legally binding or obligatory. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 17:37, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
- Retarget to criminal justice (or maybe just law). The phrase is used, as you point out. The context I most associate with the phrase is "the full force of the law", meaning the maximum punitive action of the law. Law enforcement is also a possible retarget, but I think the meaning tends to be about the action of the courts. — the Man in Question (in question) 18:20, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
- I would prefer law to criminal justice, as I think the phrase is used in civil law or private law contexts as well: contracts can be said to have force of law, I think (though IANAL and my grasp of almost all these terms is tenuous). I'm inclined to think that deletion would be preferable to retargeting though, unless an article that explains the phrase can be found or an explanation can be added to an existing article. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 18:33, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
- Definition of law' which would be a good target is a redirect to Philosophy of law#What is law? a no-longer extant section. I think this would potentially be an article. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 21:23, 13 July 2019 (UTC).

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Steel1943 (talk) 01:17, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
- Comment This is a well used phrase that isn't ambiguous at all in practice, but which we don't really have a single good target for. Maybe it would be best to have it as an entry on Wiktionary as a set phrase but that doesn't exist currently so doesn't really help. Thryduulf (talk) 11:04, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
- Retarget somewhere, probably wiktionary: "force of law", most properly used in constructions like "having the force of law" or "carrying the force of law" or "with the force of law" or "lacking the force of law", has a meaning pretty much equivalent to "effect of law". So an administrative decision may be said to have "force of law" if it's legally binding in the same way as a statute or judicial decision—the phrase is used a lot in US administrative law decisions involving the effect of agency interpretations of statutes and regulations. I'm not sure where it should be retargeted though. Interestingly Black's Law Dictionary doesn't define the phrase. In some other cases, though, it seems to get used in the same sense as "full extent of the law", which is much closer to the common understanding of "force" as in "forcible", which is the current target. But that is plainly incorrect. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 14:36, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

- Comment: we might also wish to bear in mind WT:SOP, the Wiktionary inclusion criterion dealing with phrases that may be non-idiomatic. In other words, if "force of law" is a phrase that one can understand if one knows what each component word means, then it isn't likely to be suitable for a dictionary definition, but if it means more than the sum of its parts (like for example "red herring") then a dictionary definition is appropriate. I think it's probably the former, but it's hard to say for sure. Either way it would be unfortunate if we pointed this to an entry that the Wiktionarians later deleted. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 11:16, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- Weak delete per Shhhnotsoloud. Search results can be unsatisfying, but a wrong guess on our part could make it harder for readers. --BDD (talk) 20:57, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

There is a redirect with the name "Fernando Zor" followed by four nonprinting characters; I am guessing that it was created as vandalism and turned into a redirect rather than being deleted. I found the page by accident while doing an automated search. It shows up on the What Links Here list for the target page (Fernando & Sorocaba)--you can see "Fernando Zor" twice: one real one and the one bogus one. However, all the links go to the real one, so I can't navigate there to follow the official RfD process. Matchups 01:40, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

- No, not that one, which does not have the word joiners. The wiki software seems too clever to allow any type of link to the page and even if you copy and paste the entire URL (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_Zor%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0) it still gets you to the legitimate page.

- All of the links above take me to the problem redirect (which has the RfD template on it), instead of the good one, which doesn't. For what it's worth I'm using Firefox and Chrome on Windows 10. (The problem redirect also displays its tooltip as "Fernando Zor▪▪▪▪" when I hover over its appearance in the search bar or a link to it.) –Sonicwave talk 16:58, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- For me, there is https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fernando_Zor%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0&redirect=no (which has the RFD template) and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fernando_Zor&redirect=no (which doesn't), but for some reason the tooltips for both look like ""Fernando Zor▪▪▪▪".

- No, not that one, which does not have the word joiners. The wiki software seems too clever to allow any type of link to the page and even if you copy and paste the entire URL (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_Zor%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0) it still gets you to the legitimate page.

- Delete - the invisible characters make it implausible and misleading. –Sonicwave talk 06:55, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- Keep: This "Fernando Zor" legitimately refers to one of the duo Fernando & Sorocaba. Full name is Fernando Zorzanello Bonifácio also known as Fernando Zor. The other one with four nonprinting characters mystifies me as I don't get it on my browser anyway. So we are actually talking about two different redirects? werldwayd (talk) 14:38, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- Weird. I assume we're talking about the first of these (see image to the right)? The top one is appended by four non-visible word joiners (U+2060) but clicking on it just takes me to the good redirect Fernando Zor. I suspect this is above and beyond the scope of WP:RfD.

- Technical comment The two redirects involved can certainly be linked to, as done below. But once you reach the page, there's no way to tell whether you're looking at the good one or the bad one.
- To verify that the second one is indeed the bad one, check the source code of this comment. In the second link, b/w the "r" and "}", you'll find 4 non-visible characters which can be detected by the keyboard navigation keys. SD0001 (talk) 04:46, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
- Delete the one with nonprinting characters. Barring redirects from those characters themselves (for example, [7] and [8]), I can't think of a situation in which they ever would belong in a page title. You'll never have reason to type the title with these characters included, especially since you can't even notice them without inspecting things carefully. Nyttend (talk) 05:16, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
- Comment In Firefox (68.0.2 on Linux), the links here go to the correct page and the URL in the address bar displays "%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0", but hovering over the link "displays" the non-printing characters making it difficult to verify the target. In Chromium (76.0.3809.100 on Linux), the links also go to the correct page but both hovering and the URL bar "display" the non-printing characters. I get the same behavior from both the desktop and mobile sites. @Matchups and PC78:, it seems likely to be something in your environments (e.g. your browser) that is stripping the characters from the URL.

- Speedy delete per arguments of LaundryPizza03, Sonicwave32, and Nyttend. —andrybak (talk) 14:10, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
- Speedy delete as implausible and redundant, and I've boldly tagged it as such. Home Lander (talk) 19:07, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
