Given the House of the Dragon airing, Dany's brother does not seem worthy of a primary redirect anymore, given how Viserys I is now coming into prominence. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 20:58, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Delete per WP:FORRED. According to Languages of Cyprus there is no particular affinity between German and Cyprus other than between 4.5 and 5% (depending on survey) of Cypriots speak it as a second langauge. Thryduulf (talk) 22:44, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was retarget to Northern Cyprus#1974–1983. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 10:46, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
- Name of Northern Cyprus → Cyprus#Etymology (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
The target section contains nothing about the name of Northern Cyprus, but there is nothing particularly about the name at Northern Cyprus either (beyond noting its official name) and the latter article has nothing about the name Cyprus. I'm leaning delete here for lack of anywhere with clearly relevant content, but this is a very weak preference. Thryduulf (talk) 22:06, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
- Retarget to Northern Cyprus#1974–1983, which mentions choosing the name but says little more. Could be someday retargeted to Declaration of Independence of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus if more content is added there about how the name was chosen. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 08:56, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Per Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 September 25#Eleanor Butler (Q18528457). This was recreated by a different user, and can't be speedied since G7s don't created precedent, but is no more useful since it was last month. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:04, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per every previous time we've discussed these redirects, and fix the bot that suggests these are good titles. Thryduulf (talk) 22:12, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
- Delete: I feel like that this entire œuvre of Topic (Wikidata ID) redirects are arguably a clearline enough case of not being helpful that they could have a WP:CSD category of their own, but I don't want to wikilawyer here, so I will say delete per precedent and the extreme unlikelihood of someone using the Wikidata ID as a disambiguator.

- You could make a case for a speedy criterion, but I think it would struggle on the frequency requirement - especially when fixing the bot would eliminate >99% of the problem. Thryduulf (talk) 17:23, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
- The frequency point is a good point. I feel like these come up maybe once a week at RfD, which isn't really frequent enough to make a strong case for a CSD criterion. TartarTorte 18:06, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was retarget to Typhoon Maysak (2020). While all agree that the current target is inappropriate, those favoring deletion did not refute the argument that this is a relevant RLOTE for the 2022 storm based on it hitting Russia. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 08:24, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
- Тайфун Майсак → Typhoon Maysak (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I doubt this will ever be a search, and seems to just be a way of a banned users getting their way. Slatersteven (talk) 10:25, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: Fixed nomination which was slightly malformed. CycloneYoris talk! 11:27, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:RFD#D8 There doesn't appear to be any specific connection between any of these storms and a language which uses the Cyrillic alphabet. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 14:05, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
- Retarget to Typhoon Maysak (2020): The 2020 storm did hit the east of Russia and caused a bit of damage, especially in Vladivostok. Vesti (Russian State Media, so not in any way an WP:RS, but is useful in this specific instance for verifying that the term was used in Russia) uses the term here. None of the other storms have anything to do with Russia, so I think a retarget to the 2020 storm instead of the DAB makes sense. TartarTorte 18:32, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

- Retarget to Typhoon Maysak (2020) per TartarTorte. A Typhoon which has this name in Russian and struck Russia seems a fairly standard reason to keep a foreign language redirect. A7V2 (talk) 23:11, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Huygens (chess piece)

- 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. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 08:52, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
- Huygens (chess piece) → Fairy chess piece#List of fairy chess pieces (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Delete. This piece was originally created as an article, but its only sources were forums (and later a page on The Chess Variant Pages that had been created nine days after the Wikipedia page). The article was converted to a redirect, but its only sources in the page it was made to go to, the list of fairy chess pieces, still had few sources. Its only other mention on WP was in a variant mentioned in Infinite chess, which was likely original research. (Of note is that the user who was insistent on adding this has now been blocked for using socks to argue that its inclusion, and similar things, were notable.) I BOLDly (am I using that correctly?) deleted the likely OR from both Fairy chess piece and Infinite chess, making the redirect no longer useful. If I was too hasty, let me know, but looking at the discussion pages involved I doubt it has a chance of being decided notable. ChromaTK (talk) 17:10, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
- for the sake of convenience: huygens talk and original AfD ChromaTK (talk) 17:17, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
- I was notified presumably based on my previous involvement with this page (I nominated it for deletion five years ago, which resulted in the redirect). I agree that, if the content on this made-up piece is removed from the target, then it also makes sense to delete the redirect. I also think removing the poorly supported content from the list was defensible. So I guess that means that I support deletion. (And yes, you are using BOLD correctly :).) --JBL (talk) 18:07, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
- Perfect, thanks. I've read a lot of policy, but this is my first time actually "applying" it, so to speak, so I want to avoid stepping on anyone's toes :P ChromaTK (talk) 19:09, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

The fair share sequence
[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 retarget to Thue–Morse sequence#Equitable sequencing. Nominally no consensus between deletion and redirection, defaulting to redirect in the absence of any support for the status quo. signed, Rosguill talk 17:09, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
This term is neither used nor explained at target so I don't understand the connection and google results suggest that the term can refer to more than one sequence. There has never been any content at Fair share sequence. Thryduulf (talk) 21:52, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
- The term seems to come from this YouTube video. It seems likely that people who watched the YouTube video would search for this article using the redirect. 2601:647:5800:4D2:E0D3:FE68:779:9EE9 (talk) 04:24, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
- As mentioned by the anonymous user, the term was likely coined by Matt Parker, and it is used by people who have seen his YouTube video. See [1], [2], [3], etc. There is probably no need to mention this alternative name in the article itself, but as it is ij some use, having the redirect is useful. //Yuval Talya; My contributions; Let's talk// 05:14, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per reasons I already voiced at WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 August 23#Tinky Winkenic acid. YouTubers are not RSes and their made-up words and terms must be discarded when creating encyclopaedic content. If there are RSes, peer-reviewed academic papers using the term, we can (we must) include them here. Until then "no". Content on Wikipedia has real world effects, thinking of Alan MacMasters. We should, to the extent possible, avoid leading changes. Existence of this redirect would imply that it is yet another alternative name that has had some sort of academic consensus in the domain of mathematics, which it doesn't. Also, per WP:NEO. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 16:39, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
- Comment The content that supports the redirect is at Thue–Morse_sequence#Equitable_sequencing, so we should refine the redirect if it is kept. Felix QW (talk) 08:25, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 01:18, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- Weak delete It's a bit too random of a neologism that hasn't caught on. Unless that YouTube video in particular could be mentioned in the article (perhaps by being mentioned in RS), I don't see why we should keep this. Ovinus (talk) 02:28, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Relisting comment: One more attempt for a stronger consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Jay 💬 12:26, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- Refine to Thue–Morse_sequence#Equitable_sequencing per User:Felix QW. This would avoid the problem of making this seem like an official name for the sequence and also direct readers directly to the topic they are looking for. 2601:647:5800:4D2:B01C:780A:C66D:E31 (talk) 01:39, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
- Still a neologism without any usage by academics or reliable sources. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 13:44, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
- Retarget (as nom) to that section. As while the exact term is not used several other phrasings with equivalent meaning are. Use in reliable sources is not at all relevant, what matters is that it is a plausible search term with a relevant target and the video by a notable youtuber does make it so. Thryduulf (talk) 17:14, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Thryduulf: You at #Titanic Republic above,
Use in one work does not equal a useful redirect
. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 13:36, 23 October 2022 (UTC)- If you can't understand the difference between a term appearing in one obscure book and a term being used in a very widely viewed YouTube video (and derivatives of it) then I can't help you.

Zciweisakul notation

- Zciweisakul notation → Reverse Polish notation (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Zciweisakuł notation → Reverse Polish notation (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not a useful alias name, nor a misspelling or a misnomer. The only use I have ever seen was like "Reverse Polish notation, also known as Lukasiewicz notation, sometimes called Zciweisakul notation" – it's always 'also' or 'sometimes'. As such it's just a joke on the name and not an actual alternative name. Hence not probable target of any search. CiaPan (talk) 13:52, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- Keep It is known elsewhere: see sr:Обрнута пољска нотација. It came up on Quora: https://www.quora.com/search?q=Zciweisakul. It may be "depths of Wikipedia", but I don't see the case has been made for deletion. Charles Matthews (talk) 15:40, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm usually not impressed by arguments in the form "no one is going to search for this" (tacitly, "and if they do they shouldn't"). In my view they are based on a fallacy, or at least an overestimation of what anyone can know about what anyone else or code they write might be looking for. I don't approve of WP promoting neologisms, but this mathematical joke isn't new and is funny (especially the Polish grammar point about the -a genitive inflection which I didn't know). Charles Matthews (talk) 15:56, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - Redirects for this neologism/proposed name are premature.
"Zciweisakuł+notation"
has only 3 results on Google; the first is Wikipedia, the second explicitly saysaren't you glad it's not called Zciweisakuł Notation
(emphasis mine), and the third is Quora. There are two pages of results for the term without the "ł", and they are similar in nature; some are Wikipedia and its clones/mirrors, and the others are people noting that it's not called that (with varied opinions; some expressing relief or opining that it's for the best because they wouldn't know how to pronounce it, others saying it "should" be called that, again implying it's not already called that). That Quora link given above by Charles Matthews saysbut it probably should be called “Zciweisakul notation“
, which also affirms that it's not actually already known by that term (yet).
- According to the Polish-langauge Wikipedia, Jan Łukasiewicz apparently did suggest the name "notacja azciweisakuł" (the latter being Łukasiewicza backwards), and the Polish-language Wikipedia renders that as "Azciweisakul notation" in English, but these redirects lack the "a". This information on the Polish-language Wikipedia is unreferenced. Azciweisakuł notation and Azciweisakul notation don't exist; the former gets 2 Google results and the latter gets 43. I assume some people have taken Łukasiewicz's suggestion and combined it with the English term "Łukasiewicz notation" to derive the terms without the a-; however, it's conceivable that they also came up with it independently. Regardless, the target of these redirects does not mention this term in any form (a/z, ł/l). – Scyrme (talk) 16:16, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- Regarding the Serbian-language Wikipedia linked above by Charles Matthews, it's similar to the Polish-language article in that the information given is unreferenced, except it only mentions "Zciweisakul нотација" as a proposed name with mentioning who proposed it. Looking back through the history, I think it actually originated on the English-language Wikipedia back in March 2006, and was copied in translation; this would explain the unusual mixed script name. The term hasn't been on the English-language article for over a decade, but remains as a vestige in the translated article. – Scyrme (talk) 17:04, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- Keep This is a known misnomer used by some people. Therefore we have the redirect to direct users entering this string into the search box to the relevant contents in our encyclopedia as is our normal procedure for such misnomers. It is perfectly in line with the purposes for why we have redirects per our relevant guideline WP:REDIR. None of the valid deletion reasons stated there apply, but two of the reasons to keep apply per WP:R#KEEP. Therefore, obvious keep. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 16:02, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- I'd argue point 8 of WP:R#DELETE applies (and have effectively already done so above). Regarding
used by some people
, I haven't seen any conclusive evidence that it is used by anyone. The closest thing to evidence are statements by a handful of people who think it should be used, but those same people also acknowledge that it is not already used (as I noted above). – Scyrme (talk) 17:36, 5 October 2022 (UTC) - Can you, please, cite any example of actual use of the phrase as a separate name by itself, not just in a comment to the most widely used 'Reverse Polish notation' or 'Lukasiewicz notation'? --CiaPan (talk) 19:09, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Searching on Google Scholar, I found a couple sources ([4], [5]) that apparently use "aeromatics" where "aromatics" is intended (assuming I didn't misunderstand them myself), so I agree that it's a plausible misspelling. – Scyrme (talk) 22:50, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

This redirect was created the following month with the justification that they were discussed in the article about the Irish band, which they were until that section was removed in 2013.

This redirect was left over from a move to a better in March last year, sixteen days after the article was created. Plus, it's only gotten 27 pageviews during its lifetime compared to over 25,000 for its target. Not sure why this is still necessary. Regards, SONIC678 06:13, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

These appear to be distinct services that actually are competitors (see [6], which contrasts Al Bawaba's then-newly launched "MENA report" with competitor regional news portal MENAFN). Even Al-Bawaba makes distinction between "MENA Report" and MENAFN. I'm not exactly sure how we got to redirecting the page focused on one website to an article on its competitor, but I don't think this is a worthwhile redirect to keep given that it is clearly erroneous. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 04:58, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
- Restore article. Not even sure this is an obvious "and send to AfD"; better to leave that to the discretion of Alyo or other interested editors. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 06:53, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
- Restore for now and I'll work on moving/afd later. Good catch @Red-tailed hawk: -- the article appears to have confused the MENA report and MENAFN from creation and referenced Al Bawaba two edits later. I came across it and redirected thinking I was pointing it to the parent, but this may just need to be moved to "MENA Report", or at the very least we need to decide which of the reports is more notable.

-- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 08:48, 30 October 2022 (UTC)Sega Saturn's control pad has 8 buttons — that's 6 action buttons and 2 shift (left and right) buttons. Plus, it's ergonomically correct: The advantage is at your fingertips with easy eight-button play for killer combo moves.

Not mentioned in the target article, and not mentioned in Sega Saturn. Seems this redirect was formerly an article stub that was WP:BLARed after existing for about 6 months in 2004–05. Steel1943 (talk) 06:17, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- So, the Sega Saturn, halfway through its lifecycle, had an upgraded game controller - one with an analogue stick. This may have an attempt to colloquially come up with a name the old version, which only has a digital d-pad for input. (Kind of like how, after the DS Lite was released, people called the old model DS Phat.) I'm not entirely decided on if the redirect is warranted, but just giving some background while I think further. It's not nonsense at least. Sergecross73 msg me 11:37, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. I'd add a section to the Saturn article about the controller, if reliable sources can confirm that this name was used. MightyArms (talk) 10:55, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
- That stance is dependent on there being content added to the target article which currently doesn't exist. Without such content, readers will either not find what they are looking for and/or wonder why they were redirect to this article (or any article really if this term is mentioned nowhere on Wikipedia.)

- Delete. There's no information about this specific product at the Sega Saturn article. Yes, the hardware is discussed, but I see nothing related to this digital gamepad which would warrant a retarget there. CycloneYoris talk! 07:33, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

"##:00" redirects
[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. The slight numerical advantage here was strengthened by a trendline toward deletion, the strength of the counterarguments against retargeting, and a past consensus against redirecting any of these to Time, in which the 12-hour clock suggestion was rejected. This outcome should be taken as a reïteration of the consensus against targeting these terms to any broad article, but neither consensus against nor for targeting them to specific articles like 11 O'Clock and 4 O'Clock.

Having these redirects target "AM" versions when these could also refer to "PM" versions is misleading. Steel1943 (talk) 17:41, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- Retarget all to 12-hour clock, a more general topic where stuff like 8 o'clock and 10 o'clock points. This page covers both 12-hour periods, as opposed to just the AM, so it would be a more helpful place to direct readers. Regards, SONIC678 18:27, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- Comment wherever 11:00 targets should have a link to 11 O'Clock (a film). Thryduulf (talk) 18:30, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- Sounds good. And 4:00's target should have a hatnote to 4 O'Clock (the EP). Regards, SONIC678 19:27, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - do we want to target these to pages which don't link to either of the relevant times DAB pages (ie surely wherever 11:00 targets should include links to both 11 P.M. and 11 A.M.?)? Also, not relevant but I wonder why 4 AM has its title formatted differently to all the similar pages? A7V2 (talk) 09:30, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

- Delete all. These redirects are far too ambiguous to be helpful. Additionally, the only incoming links to them are this RfD discussion, and the talk pages of the disambiguation articles they redirect to. They are not likely to be useful, and redirecting them elsewhere is more trouble than it is worth. They will not do much of anything except interfere with searches, and are better off deleted before they amass more incoming links and therefore become a bigger problem. silviaASH (User:BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4) (inquire within) 15:33, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
