- Wikipedia:BADFAITH → Wikipedia:Assume bad faith (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
It is a WP:SURPRISE that this redirects to a parody page when "bad faith" is a legitimate problem with encyclopedia users. I think it should instead redirect to the same place as WP:NOTHERE. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 05:30, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
- Keep shortcuts to humour pages aren't problematic, unless they're hijacking a primary target. In this case, there are none, so there is no problem. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:49, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
- It is problematic because up until last year it redirected to a non-humor page and was switched in apparent vandalism. I could just revert it to the correct one but I think that the proposed target is the better place to redirect. WP:AGF doesn't contain much about "bad faith" actions, which are equivalent to WP:NOTHERE.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 00:38, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
- Retarget to the same place as WP:NOTHERE, as it seems to be the primary target. Having it redirect to a humor page is misleading. 85.76.1.1 (talk) 09:10, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- There is nothing about bad faith there. If it's to be retargeted, it should be to WP:AOBF. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 11:20, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
- I disagree, that suggests that there is no such thing as bad faith on Wikipedia and therefore you shouldn't accuse people of it. Obviously accusing people of bad faith is not the norm, but pointing people to that when they might use the redirect to indicate "what bad faith behaviors are" is a bit ridiculous. WP:NOTHERE lists all the things that comprise actual bad faith editing.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 10:05, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- Retarget to either Wikipedia:Assume Good Faith#Dealing with bad faith or Wikipedia:Here to build an encyclopedia#Clearly not being here to build an encyclopedia. Both are more reasonable targets for WP:BADFAITH to redirect to. As much as I enjoy humor, we should prioritize maintaining the serious portion of Wikipedia. That is the part more people will see.

- Retarget to either Wikipedia:Assume Good Faith#Dealing with bad faith or Wikipedia:Here to build an encyclopedia#Clearly not being here to build an encyclopedia. While I sympathize with Headbomb's point, I think the redirect will be more useful if it points to one of those pages than if it points to WP:ABF. That redirect still works and is more transparent with where it goes than WP:BADFAITH is. Wug·a·po·des 07:23, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

- Depictive construction → Classifier constructions in sign languages (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Polymorphemic verb → Classifier constructions in sign languages (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
These terms are not mentioned at the target, and Google scholar searches would suggest that these are features are not exclusive to sign languages. I would suggest deletion unless someone can find a more appropriate target. signed, Rosguill talk 06:29, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- Polymorphemic verb is mentioned as an alternative to the term classifier construction in Schembri 2003 p.4 used by some people. As a word, it can only refer to classifier constructions. The expression can also be used as a phrase however, where it simply means "a verb with multiple morphemes". This is the meaning found in certain writings on oral languages. I'd say that people who are looking for polymorphemic verbs are doing so because they found an author that uses this alternative term. I wouldn't expect anyone to want to look up "verb with multiple morphemes" with this term, in which case they're probably looking for polysynthesis or something.
- I can't defend the term depictive construction the same way. I can't even find where exactly it was mentioned. Google also shows lots of unrelated results, so I would be fine with removing this redirect.--Megaman en m (talk) 10:48, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

The page history suggests that this isn't a common misspelling, and I think that this is equally likely to be a misspelling of Indian as Indium. I would suggest deletion. signed, Rosguill talk 18:52, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete as implausible. /ˈɪndiˌæm/ does not sound like any word in English, let alone /ˈɪndiəm/ or /ˈɪndiən/. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 21:34, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per nom and per WP:XY. There is no clear reason to choose one target, and both seem unlikely or unnecessary. ComplexRational (talk) 22:19, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- I created this redirect after hearing the word "indium" on the radio, having no idea how it was spelled or if I'd heard it correctly, and looking it up on Wikipedia under "indiam". I realise that sounds pretty dumb (and obviously at odds with other -ium words like radium or plutonium) but that was my first stab in the dark. If the consensus is that this redirect is unlikely to help any other dumbos then I have no objection in losing it. Popcornduff (talk) 23:06, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was delete. -- Tavix (talk) 19:20, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
These do not refer to the same subject, although they are related, see their respective entries on Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia, [1] and [2]. As Svetosavlje is not mentioned in the target article, I think deleting and leaving it as a redlink is preferable to the current redirect. signed, Rosguill talk 23:06, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
- Keep "Svetosavlje" is Serbian term for the "teachings of Saint Sava". Since we do not have a separate article on his teachings, this is a useful redirect. Vanjagenije (talk) 00:40, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
- It seems like Svetosavlje has a life of its own that extends far beyond St. Sava's teachings, as evidenced by the content of Svetosavlje and the related article on Svetosavan nationalism [3]. Moreover, a Google scholar search suggests that in English texts, Svetosavlje is used exclusively in the context of religious-nationalist movements that did not arise until long after St. Sava's death. While it may yet be acceptable to include a section on Svetosavlje ideology in Saint Sava, without such a section the redirect has the potential to be misleading for English speaking readers, as it would suggest that the modern philosophy and the medieval saint's philosophy are synonymous. signed, Rosguill talk 01:06, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Unlikely capitalization and unlikely phrasing. Steel1943 (talk) 19:33, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

- National Library of North Korea → Grand People's Study House (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Misleading because this institution is not the national library. It merely acts as a "quasi-national library" (International Dictionary of Library Histories) alongside the actual National Central Library (North Korea), for which we don't have an article. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 15:23, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
- KEEP. According to International Dictionary of Library Histories, there is no report about the “National Central Library” anymore after 1971, seems it disappeared, or, a reasonable peculation could be that it just move or became a part of the Grand Study Hall of the People: National Central Library is the predecessor of People's Study House before 1982. Plus, according to this story (https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-20773542)by BBC magazine in 2007, the Goethe Institute, clearly called their North Korean partner, the Grand Study Hall of the People, as North Korea's national library. As the Goethe Institute runs long time programmes with the North Korean government, they must pretty sure about the situation there, could not make a mistake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 安眠3 (talk • contribs) --Garam (talk) 10:54, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
- Here is the full quote from International Dictionary of Library Histories:
- This is a specialist source, acknowledges both libraries, and based on information available to them – even though limited – explicitly decides to call one of them the national library instead of the other. The source gives absolutely no preponderance to 安眠3's theory that Grand People's Study House was elevated to national library status sometime after 1971. The national library is not the only North Korean institution for which reliable data has been unavailable for decades but scholars still assume it exists (e.g. Central Bureau of Statistics). As for the BBC source, it's a single casual remark in a piece about something completely else, likely a mistake made by a non-expert. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 22:03, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
- Weak delete 安眠3 makes a very strong argument, but it's so difficult to look into North Korea. There are two things I'll say with the information we have available: 1) the GPSH functions a lot like a national library, and 2) though it has a stronger historical claim, we really can't be sure whether the National Central Library still exists or functions like a national library. I completely understand the desire to fill in "[Foo] of [Country]" topics, but I'd rather leave it to search results than risk WP:OR. --BDD (talk) 19:52, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

- Aboriginal language → Indigenous language (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Aboriginal languages → Australian Aboriginal languages (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
These should both target the same article, probably Indigenous language. Also note the existence of Aboriginal languages (disambiguation). Steel1943 (talk) 21:50, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
- Agreed, point both redirects at the general synonym Indigenous languages, which is an umbrella that includes Australian Aboriginal languages. —Michael Z. 2019-08-30 14:35 z
- In principle yes, but do other countries use the term "Aboriginal languages" to refer to Indigenous language(s) in general? If the use is not general and widespread, is it not better to manage it with hatnotes - which Australian Aboriginal languages does have, but would need to have Indigenous language added... and actually I think that Aboriginal languages (disambiguation) needs Indigenous language too? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 02:27, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, Canada does ([4] for example). Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 22:11, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
- Retarget both to Aboriginal languages (disambiguation) as there is no appropriate singular target for these. I disagree that "aboriginal languages" most often refers to Australian aboriginal languages. "Aboriginal" and "indigenous" refer to the same concept, but the former is preferred in former British colonies while the latter is a more modern blanket term. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:28, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
- In this case, per WP:MALPLACED, you'd want "Aboriginal languages" to be the disambiguation page, with the "(disambiguation)" version redirecting there. --BDD (talk) 18:21, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

- Disambiguate Aboriginal language and retarget Aboriginal languages as {{R from plural}}. Ivanvector raises an important point about the lack of a primary topic, and I agree that a disambiguation page best addresses searches for Australian, Canadian, or any other language group. I'd prefer this over a simple retarget in line with naming conventions; (disambiguation) is only necessary in the title when there is a clearly established primary topic (which there does not appear to be here).

Joke redirect. gnu57 15:00, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
- Redirect to Screwdriver (cocktail). It's a real thing, and yeah it's just orange juice, but this particular combination ends up being a WP:SURPRISE. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:07, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
- Is it? It's not mentioned at the article. I get that a "virgin screwdriver" would just be orange juice, but we need more than that. You could drink liquid dihydrogen monoxide too, but that doesn't mean we should redirect it to Water. --BDD (talk) 15:00, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
- Well I guess it's more of a joke than something you'd actually go up to a bar and order, unless you were trying to get a laugh out of the bartender or something. But a "virgin screwdriver" doesn't refer to anything other than plain orange juice, as far as I can tell. And it's more prominent than, say, a "virgin scotch and water". But I guess as a joke it's just as suitable for it to redirect to either orange juice or screwdriver (cocktail), and neither one is really helpful to readers, so really I'm fine with whatever here.

WP:FORRED, specifically the disambiguator is in Portuguese. Daß Wölf 14:20, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
- Portuguese is a language pertinent to the topic though. I'm leaning keep for that reason. Geolodus (talk) 15:28, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
- Soft redirect to pt:São Paulo. Someone searching for this is probably looking for info on the city in Portuguese, where it's a featured article, so let's offer that target. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:58, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - the stats are out of whack because several templates currently incorrectly pipe links to the city through this redirect, which is incidentally how I encountered it. Daß Wölf 07:06, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
- Keep I admit that applying FORRED to a disambiguator seems novel, but it clearly meets the "related to that language" (or "affinity") standard. Since there's a São Paulo city and state, I don't mind the disambiguation; I'd be less open to something like Minas Gerais (estado). --BDD (talk) 15:04, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

- Visible light (disambiguation) → Visible light (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Consider this a nomination of the DAB page in the state it was before my recent edit turning it into a redirect. Non-redirect pages do not seem to be RfD-able, even though RfD is clearly a better forum than AfD. So I turned it into a redirect to make the nom work. I will gladly accept any trouting accompanied by an explanation of what to do for future DAB pages. Anyway...
I WP:BOLDly retargeted visible light from light to visible spectrum (which I think is not very contentious but I could be wrong) and did some cleanup at the hatnotes of the various articles. The result is that the DAB page had two items, with one the clearest WP:PRIMARYTOPIC ever, and the other covered in a hatnote. Hence, I think the DAB page should go. TigraanClick here to contact me 13:04, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
- In response to the small text, DABs are normally discussed at AfD, not here. I'm going to say restore dab because this seems to be a pretty busy page suggesting it's useful or linked from somewhere. Also note that it is a dab page with three links, not two: one to light, one to visible spectrum, and one to a relevant collection of short stories, and I think that visible spectrum does not do a sufficiently good job of disambiguating that the page is unnecessary. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:20, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
- The page was linked from light ("visible light redirects here, for other uses, see <DAB page>"), so there's probably the source of most traffic. (The page view ratio is 1:200; a 0.5% click rate on the hatnote does not seem absurd.) TigraanClick here to contact me 09:43, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
- I agree with Ivanvector. This is the wrong forum for discussing a disambiguation page. I suggest closing, reverting, and sending this to WP:AFD. - Eureka Lott 16:08, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose. Wrong venue to discuss a dab page. I reverted the change to a redirect. The dab page has three valid links. I also reverted the change in redirect Visible light. Light is the better target for this link.--Srleffler (talk) 17:41, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
- (nom comment) OK, so my retargeting is not consensual. I still think that "light" is not a clear primary topic for "visible light" (compared to "visible spectrum"); maybe we could move the DAB Visible light (disambiguation) over the redirect Visible light instead?

- Comment - When I was a kid, "queen cakes" was the name my Mum used for the small cakes she made, much the same as what I've seen others call "fairy cakes". I've no idea if this name is more common in Scotland? Obviously personal anecdotes like that don't constitute citable evidence(!), but (for example) there's an example of "queen cakes" here. (I notice that's a South African site). Point is, there does seem to be some evidence for the term's usage out there. Ubcule (talk) 19:15, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Not clear what the connection is between the redirect and the target. The edit summary for the redirect's creation says
Creating a temporary redirect for the landmark 1980 coffee table book., but Gilda Cordero-Fernando does not appear to have been involved in writing this book. Also note that we have an article for Ancestral houses of the Philippines, which may be a more appropriate target. If the 1980 coffee table book really is notable, then this should just be a redlink until the article can be created. signed, Rosguill talk 18:53, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Rosguill: Gilda Cordero-Fernando edited the book, while her company, named after herself, published it.

There were originally separate articles titled "Generation I" and "Generation II" that were moved to add "(Sky Kids)", and later redirected. They aren't widespread terms as far as I know, and aren't at all helpful redirects, so delete. "Generation I" and "Generation II" most commonly refer to Pokémon, but those would be WP:XY (e.g. "Generation II" can refer to both Pokémon Gold and Silver and Pokémon Crystal).

- Generation 1 & Generation One redirect to Transformers: Generation 1, and Generation 2 & Generation Two redirect to Transformers: Generation 2 (that's the first thing I thought of when I saw this nom), so retarget the first two to those articles, unless of course these are deemed equally ambiguous in which case we'll have to disambiguate. The other two seem specific enough but those terms aren't mentioned at the target article or anywhere else so far as I can tell, so delete those. PC78 (talk) 12:22, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

I created this redirect based on references such as this (which will be found using the search term "mediacid soil") where it is defined as a (now obsolete) term for medium soil acidity (in a range also including minimacid, subacid and superacid). Yes, it looks similar to Medicaid. Ingratis (talk) 00:50, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Steel1943 (talk) 22:50, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
- Keep and hatnote kinda per Nyttend. While it's more likely that people will type this as a misspelling of medicaid, mediacid is a technical term to which technical articles will link. Put a hatnote on the target article pointing readers to medicaid if they have misspelled it, but probably not a good idea to hinder linking in technical articles because of a misspelling. Wug·a·po·des 03:50, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Even being really charitable here, there doesn't seem to be discussion of medium soil acidity at the target page either (note also the redness of Medium soil acidity). I'm open to specific evidence that external sources would link directly to "mediacid" or specialists really would plug the term in and go, but absent that, it sounds speculative. --BDD (talk) 17:21, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

- Keep and hatnote per Wugapodes. It's definitely an obsolete term but one which at one time was very frequently seen throughout the English world in scholarly botany articles. Google "mediacid soil" for evidence. I found a cluster of journal articles from around 1920 referring to mediacid soils, and more up to about 1940, and found a rough definition here (1992, India) and here (1929, USA) of being soil with a pH of roughly 4.0-5.0, or 4.5-5.5. This (1920, USA) defines it as "specific acidity between 100 and 1000" (which I think corresponds to pH 4.0-5.0 but this is an unfamiliar measurement to me and the article predates standardized pH by a few years); this document uses "mediacid" 53 times. It's also a very common misspelling for Medicaid, but only in the USA and not in scholarly literature (but notably frequent on some government websites; nice bureaucracy you got there). I think a discussion on pre-pH systems of measurement of soil acidity is warranted at soil pH, and it's better for a redirect to target something definitely related to the search term than to presume that the reader made an error. For what it's worth I got about 4k ghits for both "mediacid soil" and "mediacid health", so I don't think it can be said that the erroneous query is more common by any significant degree. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 12:39, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
- Information on the subject at the target article would matter. But I question how many of those mediacid health results are really about soil. I did a search too, and had to get to the third page before I was finding anything besides typos for Medicaid. --BDD (talk) 17:36, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Redirect from a non-notable person to his more notable spouse, serving no obvious purpose. We do not have an established practice of comprehensively creating or maintaining redirects like this; it's done occasionally when the spouse is close enough to the cusp of independent notability to be a plausible search term but hasn't quite cleared the bar in their own right yet (e.g. Chasten Buttigieg), but we do not indiscriminately create redirects to every notable married person from the name of their spouse. There's just no substantive reason to believe Wilfred falls in the class of spouses who warrant redirects, however: his only potential notability claim is that he was an unsuccessful one-off candidate in one election 40 years ago, which is not a reason to believe anybody would actually be looking for him on here independently of Elinor. The only place this is actually being linked to is in the surname page for Caplan, in which Elinor already appears anyway — and besides that, the only other places the link was being used at all, before I unlinked them as redundant, were in the biography of Wilfred and Elinor's son, where it was also sitting right next to a direct link to Elinor and thus wasn't serving any useful purpose on its own, and in the biography of the actual MPP he lost to, where a link isn't strictly necessary at all (and could easily be piped into a direct link to Elinor's article, instead of travelling through a redirect, if anybody actually thinks a link is useful.)

Altena, Netherlands
- 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 Altena (disambiguation). (non-admin closure) ComplexRational (talk) 21:38, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
- Altena, Netherlands → Altena, North Brabant (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Unused redirect with an ambiguous title. The redirect was a result of the move of Altena, Drenthe in preparation for the later added article Altena, North Brabant. There is no consensus on which of the two deserves the redirect as they are equally plausible targets and some reject the idea to turn it into a disambiguation page. Both articles are already being disambiguated at Altena (disambiguation), though. Since there are more specific targets, it is also unlikely that this redirect page will still be used as a target itself. Deletion would in my opinion be the only other acceptable solution. See also the discussion at User talk:Lithopsian#Altena, Netherlands. Thayts ••• 07:21, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

- Retarget to the dab page as incomplete disambiguation. This is definitely still a plausible search term, if somebody knows about one Altena but not the other. Bearcat (talk) 15:20, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
