Redirects to disambiguation page "Jawi"

- Chowie → Jawi (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]

Seems misleading that these redirects target the target disambiguation page when all the subjects on the target disambiguation page are specifically spelled "Jawi". Steel1943 (talk) 22:58, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
- Both Jawi dialect and Jawi people mention the alternate spellings. Not sure how it should be handled given there isn't a primary topic. Kdroo (talk) 17:20, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
- Disambiguate Djawi (drafted) for Jawi dialect and Jawi people, and add the Indonesia-related entries there once they meet WP:DABMENTION. ("Djawi" is the historical spelling of all the Indonesia-related entries at Jawi, from ꦗꦮꦶ 'Javanese'). No opinion on Djaui/Chowie/Dyawi whether the best solution is to create even more dab pages, or just redirect to Jawi people and hatnote for Jawi language, given that none of those are an alternative spelling of anything else. 59.149.117.119 (talk) 02:54, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

A RFC decided that name of the victim should be excluded from the article - 2024 Kolkata rape and murder ; However this redirect explicitly contains the name of the victim which leads to the page. Given the conclusion of the RFC, I suggest that this redirect be deleted. The AP (talk) 17:01, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- So, as the RfC's closer, I'll note that the close only directly applies to the article. Now, generally, we don't redirect names that aren't mentioned in an article. However, we've sometimes made an exception for cases where a name is only omitted as a matter of editorial discretion but still serves a navigational purpose. Color me neutral, but I'd suggest that's the main consideration to bear in mind here—how to handle lack of mention when it's a discretionary omission. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe|🤷) 19:53, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Retarget to Violence against healthcare professionals by country#India. Do the same for Rape and murder of Moumita Debnath. The name is mentioned at Rituparna Sengupta, so as a redirect, it provides context.Jay 💬 18:19, 10 January 2025 (UTC)- I have removed both mentions.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, charlotte 👸♥ 20:34, 10 January 2025 (UTC)- Either keep as is or delete. The suggestion to retarget is misleading, if anything. If we are going to remove the name from that page it should be removed from the others. It gets where one wants to go so I don't see the problem with it. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:52, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- Agreed on this. I would lean towards keeping, because this is a valid redirect even unmentioned. Since Tamzin has clarified that the RFC closure only applies to that article, I would say WP:NOTCENSORED and WP:RNEUTRAL apply here, and redirects are meant to aid readers get to the correct article from whatever search term they're using. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 18:08, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Yes, it is ridiculous that the name is mentioned at other articles with reference to the incident, but cannot be at the incident article itself. If mention continues to be there at the Violence article, but not at the event article, then I would oppose keeping at the current target. We don't want readers trying to discover easter eggs on wikipedia.Jay 💬 11:04, 18 January 2025 (UTC)- I disagree about this being an easter egg; this is a redirect from a valid search term (the victim) to the article that best explains what happened to her (the crime). It doesn't need to mention her by name for it to be helpful, and likewise an article that does mention her by name would be less helpful (I plan on removing those references to her in those articles at some point soon if nobody else gets to it first, I don't usually like touching topics like this but if nobody else is going to do it I should). Skarmory (talk • contribs) 01:00, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- Eh, actually changing my mind to delete. Not in that it is misleading, but if the BLP issues are so overriding that her name cannot be mentioned whatsoever in article space I don't see why we should not also abide by that in redirect/article titles. PARAKANYAA (talk) 12:09, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

- Weak delete. While Wikipedia is WP:NOTCENSORED and this would have a navigational purpose, the RFC that led to the name raised the prospect of serious BLP issues for the victim's surviving family. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 21:06, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- Comment. There are other redirects that include the victim's name: Rape and murder of Moumita Debnath, Murder of Moumita Debnath, Killing of Moumita Debnath. -- Tavix (talk) 00:11, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, no mention of this name at the target page. Also consider RFDing the titles that have been brought forth by Tavix. If consensus indicates that the name should not be mentioned in any article-space material, this redirect should go too, as redirects are also in article-space, and are "material". Utopes (talk / cont) 11:27, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per Utopes - if it isn't appropriate to mention the name in mainspace then it's not appropriate to do so by the back door with redirects. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:19, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

Controversial autism therapy
- Controversial autism therapy → Applied behavior analysis (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
A cursory search indicates that ABA is one of multiple "treatments" for autism, all of which appear controversial to an extent, with this particular one apparently attracting more controversy due to being the most popular. Therefore, I think this redirect is ambiguous (and even if it weren't, probably not a likely enough search term to justify a clearly non-neutral redirect). — Anonymous 03:15, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- No I think it's just this one, as it is controversial in the autistic community and it's not just because it's the most popular, its because of the mental health outcomes of autistic people who have had ABA and because it encourages normalization (all of witch is mentioned on the page). There arnt any other ones that I know of that are as bad as this one. Anthony2106 (talk) 04:46, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- Can I ask WP:AUTISM to come vote on my side or is that against the rules? Anthony2106 (talk) 04:49, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- too late, i already did that consarn (speak evil) (see evil) 12:43, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- Anthony2106, look up "bleach therapy" and "chelation therapy". They certainly appear much more controversial (and probably much less effective) than this. Also note that telling people to come vote on your side in any discussion is called canvassing and against WP rules. — Anonymous 13:12, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- Okay these two you pointed out seem worse, maybe it should be changed, maybe re-targeted, couldn't be a disambiguation page could it? I've already made 8 bad redirects I don't wanna add to the list. Anthony2106 (talk) 13:25, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- We don't usually make DAB pages for vague descriptive terms. Also, it seems we only have an article for this one. — Anonymous 14:36, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

- Delete I support anyone developing a Wikipedia article on this topic, but opinionated disambiguation pages for topics where there are multiple perspectives are beyond what editors can manage. I support anyone criticizing this therapy. It seems developed in the 1960s, so I am sure like most psychological therapies it has been challenged. Wikipedia is not effective for setting SEO for disambiguation pages, so if the intent is to find readers seeking this term, then keeping this page will not achieve that anyway. Bluerasberry (talk) 16:33, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. ABA is still controversial, enough said. LarryL33k (Contribz) 17:09, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- @LarryL33k the problem the nom proposed is that it's not the only controversial flavor of "autism treatment" (whatever autism is) consarn (speak evil) (see evil) 20:40, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
That's true, butMost people who search up "Controversial Autism Treatment" would most likely be looking for ABA, anyway. LarryL33k (Contribz) 04:18, 8 February 2025 (UTC)- @LarryL33k, is there any way to prove this? If anyone ever actually searches it, we have no way of confirming which of the multiple "controversial autism therapies" they are looking for. — Anonymous 02:08, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- Excuse me what is "whatever autism is"? There is an autistic person right here! Anthony2106 (talk) 13:22, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Consarn I forgot to @ you Anthony2106 (talk) 07:04, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Anthony2106 the reason a good handful of "autism treatments" are seen as controversial can be attributed to them being based on misunderstandings of what autism is or isn't, and whether or not it's something worth "treating" or "fixing". case in point, i've been autistic all along! maybe! the diagnosis was done at birth and was torn between autism and a really shitty respiratory system so i can't actually be 100% sure until i have that checked again but shush
- that aside aside, this is why my vote will be to delete, since it wouldn't be a fitting topic for a redirect or dab. if the concept can be expanded into an article about controversial treatments, i'd really recommend playing it safe and working with a draft until it's at least c-class consarn (speak evil) (see evil) 11:57, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- Oh cool you might also be autistic though I don't know how a bad respiratory system and autism can overlap, anyway good luck with an adult assesment especially if your a girl they might be sexist. The YouTuber I'm Autistic Now What? made some knowledge that might help:[1] Anthony2106 (talk) 23:46, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

Interstitial fauna
- Interstitial fauna → Meiobenthos (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
"Interstitial" is not mentioned at the target, and I think the term may be ambiguous with Microfauna. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:41, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- Interstitial fauna are those "Animals that inhabit the spaces between individual sand grains. The term is often used synonymously with meiofauna, mesofauna, and microfauna" (source) I assume interstitial fauna include both meiofauna (45 μm to 1 mm) and microfauna, but not larger fauna. Meiofauna is probably the best target but not ideal. The Interstitial disambiguation page has "Interstitial fauna, small aquatic invertebrates, larger than microfauna but smaller than macrofauna" (unsourced), which might be an alternative target, but has been proposed for deletion. — Jts1882 | talk 15:39, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

Translation of song not listed on the page. Xeroctic (talk) 16:43, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. The Swedish cover version by Lil Lindfors in 1972 is apparently not notable, not worth mentioning per WP:SONGCOVER. If it charted or could be proved notable for some other reason, then it would be worth a mention, and the redirect would make sense. Binksternet (talk) 18:25, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
Cybersexism
- Cybersexism → Cyberbullying (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Sexism is not restricted to bullying, and the target does not talk a lot about it anyway. There is wikt:cybersexism, but apart from that I am not sure how much relevant content we have to point the reader at. 1234qwer1234qwer4 05:15, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete/Wiktionary redirect rare term that is too vague to point a specific article. Traumnovelle (talk) 05:20, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to sexism as {{r from hyponym}} and tag as {{r with possibilities}}, per "Cybersexism: How Gender and Sexuality Are at Play in Cyberspace ". Paradoctor (talk) 13:43, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per Traumnovelle and WP:RETURNTORED (though maybe, given the concerns expressed at the essay WP:AVOIDCYBER, a future article wouldn't be at this exact title). Search results are probably the best we can do for now as they show the Wiktionary definition, online gender-based violence, and Laurie Penny's book. Sexism doesn't contain any discussion of sexism in "cyber" contexts, so would not be a useful target. Online gender-based violence does mention the word "cybersexism" but isn't quite an exact subtopic/supertopic (as that article itself points out), so I don't think retargeting there probably would be much improvement on the current situation. 59.149.117.119 (talk) 02:49, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

Cephalobaenida
- Cephalobaenida → Cephalobaena (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
I’m putting this up again, for the reason that Invavita is also a cephalobaenid. IC1101-Capinatator (talk) 15:13, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Jlwoodwa, Loopy30, and CycloneYoris: pinging the previous participants and closer, in case this is a Speedy. Jay 💬 19:47, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
- WP:WikiProject Palaeontology should be canvassed to determine if Wikipedia should follow either PBDB (classifying Invavita as a cephalobaenid) or Henga et al. (2020) (that places Invavita as a genus within the parent subclass Pentastomida). As Henga did not explicitly state that Invavita was "not" a cephalobaenid, I lean towards supporting the PBDB view in this matter. Loopy30 (talk) 22:25, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
- Siveter et al. (2015) provisionally assigned it to the Cephalobaenida. Typical convention is that Invavita would be listed with a question mark in the taxobox (if Cephalobaenida had its own article), or Cephalobaenida would redirect to Pentastomida.

Bravo Nolan
- Bravo Nolan → Christopher Nolan (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Apparently this redirect is for a meme from 2010. There is no discussion of said meme in the subject article and there has been no adequate categorization or tagging of this redirect to justify its existence. Even the redirect creator admitted here (bolding emphasis): "I love the Bane-posting phenomenon. It is one of the most hilarious memes the internet has come up with in the last ten years. It does not merit any direct mention on Wikipedia. But the name they call the film's director should exist as a redirect.
" Not much merit to warrant in an encyclopedia. Trailblazer101 (talk) 18:56, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- Wait... did you misinterpret my edit summary? I have no memory of writing that, but its meaning seems very clear to me even now. We don't have to write an article on the various memes (I was unaware of the one you alluded to), but a name that was commonly used to refer to Nolan on various social media sites over the course of multiple years probably does merit a redirect. I don't agree with the implied conclusion that the Christopher Nolan article should reference one or another of these memes to justify the redirect's inclusion. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 08:13, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- If the subject of a redirect bodes no mention at the target article, then there is no need for it to exist in the first place, especially just because it was used by some social media sites to refer to the subject. It has no encyclopedic value on its own. Trailblazer101 (talk) 16:06, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
