• 2-year college → Junior college  (talk · links · history · stats)     
• Two-year college → Junior college  (talk · links · history · stats)      

These articles should redirect to the same place. Mstrojny (talk) 20:26, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

• Keep: why should they redirect to the same place? Do you have better targets in mind? Why does it need to be discussed here? The existing targets appear to be good articles for people searching for those terms. Lithopsian (talk) 21:01, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
• Delete 2-year college and Two-year college since these terms could also refer to Community college. No opinion on the "4-year" ones at this time. In addition, I disagree with the nominator that the "2-year" and "4-year" redirects should target the same place, but now that I'm aware of the "2-year" redirects, I believe that they should be deleted.

  (Struck out parts that no longer apply to this nomination due to the nomination being split.) Steel1943 (talk) 18:18, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

  Everything at Junior college seems to indeed be two-year, though. That's not true of Community college, so this seems unwise. I'll also register my disagreement with the initial nomination that all four of these should point to the same place. --BDD (talk) 21:31, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Junior college and community college are very nearly the same thing in the US, and generally 2-year colleges, but often very different elsewhere and not necessarily a 2-year college. One or the other still seems like the best target unless anyone comes up with something better. There is Community colleges in the United States - could that be what a majority of people are looking for when they type 2-year college? Lithopsian (talk) 22:13, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

• @Lithopsian, Steel1943, and BDD: Sorry about the nominations. I got confused. Is it OK if I partially withdraw the nomination by withdrawing the four year college redirects, but leave the two year college redirects up for discussion? Mstrojny (talk) 22:19, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

  Actually, while you have the two "four-year college" redirects here, I think there is reason to discuss them. See below. --Bsherr (talk) 03:46, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

• Keep the two "two-year college" redirects. The two "two-year college" redirects are best targeted to junior college, as that's generally an accurate synonym. --Bsherr (talk) 21:06, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
• Comment: Could anyone be so WP:BOLD as to split this nomination before it becomes even more of a potential WP:TRAINWRECK? Steel1943 (talk) 04:59, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

   Done I have not modified any of the above comments, since most touch on both the four-year and two-year redirects. Anyone should feel free to modify their own to suit the split nominations, though. This diff shows the single discussion pre-split. --BDD (talk) 15:50, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was retarget to Reblogging and hatnote. There are clearly two relevant topics here, though one is an error whose plausibility can hinge on regional pronunciation. This will provide readers access to both topics. --BDD (talk) 17:14, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

• Repost → Riposte  (talk · links · history · stats)      

WP:SURPRISE. When people search for "repost", they will be trying to find the term very commonly used in internet culture, not an obscure action in a sport. The word "repost" isn't even used in that article.  Nixinova  T  C  19:01, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

• Keep with a hatnote to Wiktionary and Reblogging or soft redirect. This is a very plausible misspelling of an uncommon term that many people looking for will not have seen written. I support a soft redirect as a second choice, as this is a term that is commonly searched for (318 hits in the first 11 months of last year) and while there isn't scope for an encyclopaedia article we should take users to the best alternative content, that at Wiktionary - remember many more people know about Knowledge (XXG) than know about Wiktionary. Thryduulf (talk) 18:10, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Due to lack of related content in the target article, these redirects seem like a bunch of WP:SURPRISEs with no good alternative targets. Steel1943 (talk) 22:50, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

• Would any of these be suitable redirects to Whitewashing in film? White films and White movies, perhaps? –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 00:42, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
  • In my opinion, I think that may be somewhat of a stretch since the terms could still be vague. Someone may look up these terms expecting to find something about white supremacy or something of the like. Steel1943 (talk) 00:46, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
• Confusing redirects. A person searching for the terms isn't necessarily thinking of the word white in the demographic sense. --Stefan2 (talk) 01:12, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Species in Inoceramus

The result of the discussion was Keep ~ Amory (u • t • c) 22:19, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Some of these, such as I. saskatchewanensis, are linked only from the target article, which contains no nontrivial information about any specific species, and others, such as I. walterdorfensis, are not mentioned at all. All should be deleted per WP:REDLINK. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 22:39, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

• Delete all per nom. Rubbish computer (Talk: Contribs) 23:15, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

• These types are tough. Redlinks in taxonomic articles are normal, and that certainly points to delete. But {{R to subtopic}} could be appropriate for a species that's never going to have its own article. Without any specific (pardon the pun) knowledge of these, I could easily see that being the case for a bunch of species of fossil bivalves, which points to keep. Those without mention sure feel like a delete, but maybe they should be mentioned, and maybe that just means listing them. (How "selected" are the "Selected species"?) I suppose I'm leaning delete, cautiously. Pinging Plantdrew, whose input on taxonomic discussions I always value. --BDD (talk) 17:40, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
  • @Animalparty, Montanabw, and SMcCandlish: Pinging additional possible editors for further input. Steel1943 (talk) 19:29, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
• Wow. This is quite an unusual case. The accepted wisdom among editors working on taxonomic articles is that fossil species are usually best covered in an article about the genus, not separate articles for each species. However, I'm having trouble finding that position documented anywhere; it certainly comes up on talk pages frequently, but WikiProject Dinosaurs seems to have the only explicit mention of it (WikiProject Palaeontology takes a weaker stance against species articles). However, for most genera known from fossils, it's unusual to have more than 2-3 known species (which could be readily compared and contrasted in an article on the genus). Bivalves fossilize exceptionally well, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that there are fossil bivalve genera with dozens of species, but that's certainly not the norm for fossil genera overall.

"Selected species" on Knowledge (XXG) never means very much "selecting" was being done. More typically it means "here's all the species listed in whatever sources I had at hand, but I'm not sure if those sources are comprehensive". Both WoRMS and FossilWorks include some species not listed in the article, as well as species listed not listed in the other database (WoRMS doesn't aim to be comprehensive for fossil species; FossilWorks aims for comprehensiveness, but isn't there in practice).

I think it's quite unlikely that articles will be created for each species, so I'm not sure the logic of REDLINK applies here. Some of these species may end up placed in other genera; I. walterdorfensis is now Cremnoceramus walterdorfensis according to WoRMS. Having these redirects poses a maintenance burden (an article on Cremnoceramus needs to be written before I. waltderdorensis can be pointed to the right place). I'm not inclined to take the time to check each redirect for current taxonomic placement (let alone writing any missing genus articles); I feel like these redirects are really more of a headache than they are worth. However, it does appear that many of these have incoming links. I'm going with weak keep due to incoming links. If they are kept, {{R from species to genus}} (which is currently a redirect to {{R from subtopic}}) would be an appropriate tag. 19:01, 10 January 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Plantdrew (talk • contribs)

• Keep. I'm more of a lumper than a splitter, even with living organisms (see e.g. Floridobolus), and comprehensive context is key. There is no rule mandating every taxon MUST have an article, especially if the article says no more than "Inoceramus aequicostatus is a species of bivalve in the genus Inoceramus described by Voronetz in 1937" (lots of extant insect stubs consist of such pablum). That exact same information (species, genus, author and year of description) is present in the full scientific name, and placed in better context in the list at Inoceramus. I don't think it's worth deleting any redirects. --Animalparty! (talk) 19:39, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
• Keep. Regardless of article content these are useful for fleshing out categories for taxa by year and author of description. Abyssal (talk) 14:20, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
• Merge to genus - palaeontology project guidelines are clear about this. Prehistoric species articles should be covered at the genus level, and only split off if that article becomes too long, which is not the case here. Prehistoric species stubs should not be created in general. FunkMonk (talk) 19:40, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

• AIEDRP was a US research program to study acute HIV infection ("what happens when you first get infected", in plain English). If we had a proper article about Acute HIV infection, then it would be mentioned there; if NIAID (which already mentions HIV 14 times) were complete, it would be mentioned there. As it stands, however, the most relevant reason to keep this redirect is that it's 12 years old, and WP:RFD#KEEP says to keep "Links that have existed for a significant length of time".

• I can see an argument for keeping as a {{R to article without mention}} (useful search term, and usage is above noise level) and an argument for deleting (not mentioned in article, and difficult to source for a mention). A DuckDuckGo search showed no mention in usable sources, the KYM entry is only a submission thus it is unusable. Leaning delete as redirects to an article without a mention are generally discouraged. feminist (talk) 02:37, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

• Rogue (brand) → Guitar Center  (talk · links · history · stats)      

No mention of term in target article. Note that the entry was removed from the Rogue dab page. PamD 13:02, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

• Retarget to Rogue (disambiguation) since there are multiple brands that use Rogue. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:32, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
• Retarget to Rogue (disambiguation) per AngusWOOF. --BDD (talk) 15:57, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

• Individual One → Donald Trump  (talk · links · history · stats)      

No evidence in target page for this particular nickname/claim. PamD 12:51, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

• Comment. It is in the target, in the section Donald Trump#Associates: Cohen said that he had made the false statements on behalf of Trump, who was identified as "Individual-1" in the court documents. -- Tavix 14:23, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Fair enough - I'd searched for "Individual One" but I can see "Individual-1" as a valid target for a redirect. PamD 15:12, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

• RfD withdrawn, as above. PamD 15:12, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

• Heat wheel → Regenerative heat exchanger  (talk · links · history · stats)      

No mention of term in target article. It may well be a synonym, but a sourced mention in the article should be added for this to be a useful redirect. PamD 11:43, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

• Update Yes, it's a synonym, and I'm moving it to the more specific thermal wheel. Since when do we need WP:RS on each redirect? Andy Dingley (talk) 12:03, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

@Andy Dingley:. Thanks for retargetting it. We need the term, or something recognisably the same, to be mentioned in the target article; everything in that target article ought to be sourced. I wouldn't demand a source for "Heat wheel" to redirect to "thermal wheel", as they seem roughly synonyms. PamD 12:56, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was article created. Thryduulf (talk) 00:22, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

• Bacolod South Road → Bacolod North Road  (talk · links · history · stats)      

Original author's request; I need this namespace for the correct article. hueman1 (talk) 11:30, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

• @HueMan1: you don't need to delete the redirect. If you already have a draft article, an admin can move it over this redirect when it is approved. Alternatively you can just overwrite the redirect with an article. Thryduulf (talk) 15:37, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

• @Thryduulf: It was my bad, I flipped South to North. Thank you! --hueman1 (talk) 23:21, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Fuckload

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 soft redirect to Wiktionary. Deryck C. 19:52, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

• Fuckload → Indefinite and fictitious numbers  (talk · links · history · stats)      

Propose retargeting to Fuck or soft retargeting to wikt:Fuckload: current target seems unlikely to be related to search term. Rubbish computer (Talk: Contribs) 03:44, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Keep or redirect to wikitionary. A fuckload is indeed an indefinitely large number. The redirect is appropriate. We could have one for truckload and boatload too. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 00:23, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Doesn't really belong to the target article as it's not a number of any sort, just an indefinitely large quantity, usually not numeric - see here and the examples here. Now shedload and shitload are both included in the Oxford English Dictionary as "A large amount or number" (while "fuckload" doesn't get a mention): if this redirect is kept, there should perhaps be an addition to the target article to include all three of these terms. PamD 12:06, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

• I once calculated a metric unit equivalent of a fuckton, but can't find that notebook now and it wasn't published anyway. It's colloquial, unlikely to have a formal definition. Keep or retarget per Headbomb. Ivanvector (/_Edits) 03:53, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

• Ivory 503 → George Washington University  (talk · links · history · stats)      

Proposing deletion. This redirect is from a shortened name of an insignificant suite in a residence hall. Bsherr (talk) 01:59, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

• Mike, Lu Og → Mike, Lu & Og  (talk · links · history · stats)      

This redirect is in a peculiar format that doesn't contain the "and" or any form of the word (&) in its name. It seems unnecessary to me. Paper Luigi 01:23, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

• Delete as an implausible typo. Rubbish computer (Talk: Contribs) 03:21, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
