Dutch peoples
- Dutch peoples → Dutch people (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
I would advise deleting as potentially misleading; "peoples" implies a group of closely related ethnic groups, while the Dutch are generally understood to comprise a single ethnic group. — Anonymous 04:51, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
- Comment though they are also historically divided, with Hollanders, Frieslanders, etc. The Frisians of Friesland are not Dutch, but are in the Netherlands. People of the Netherlands leads to "Dutch people" making it the default article for the people of the country, not just the ethnic group. -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 08:01, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
- I would actually recommend retargeting the other redirect in that case. Cameroonians (a nationality, not an ethnic group) redirects to Demographics of Cameroon, so it would make sense for People of the Netherlands to redirect to Demographics of the Netherlands. — Anonymous 14:39, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep as an r from plural. I'm not seeing the implication of different groups, generally we redirect plurals to the base form of the topic. Utopes (talk / cont) 06:22, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
- But people is already a plural. A plural of a plural implies, as the nom points out, several different groups – so delete. Cremastra (talk) 16:36, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
- The plural of people is "peoples"; a "people" can be singular as well. Utopes (talk / cont) 19:39, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
- But as Cremastra and myself have already explained, the Dutch are a people in the sense of how the word is normally used, not multiple peoples. Therefore, while it could be correct in some cases, it's inaccurate for this one. — Anonymous 19:49, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

- Keep: This redirect aligns with others. For instance, American peoples redirects to Americans British peoples redirects to British people, and Australian peoples redirects to Australians. Interestingly, Canadian peoples doesn't exist. As such, if we want to change this one, we should make sure all countries' "peoples" redirect to the same place. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 01:10, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: We should probably go through the list of countries regardless. So far, Korean peoples redirects to Koreans, Japanese peoples doesn't exist, and Thai peoples redirects to Ethnic groups in Thailand. Regardless, out of my first seven attempts, four match the current target style, two don't exist, and one has a different target entirely. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 01:12, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Significa liberdade, the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia (and Canada, if someone wanted to add it) are all multi-ethnic societies, and the articles about their nationals acknowledge this. Therefore, it makes sense to use "peoples" to acknowledge that there are multiple ethnic groups who may call themselves "American" or "British". However, the article makes it clear that Dutch refers to a single ethnic group, not a nationality. A German living in the Netherlands is a Netherlander, but not Dutch. A Dutch person living in Australia who still remains their cultural customs is Dutch, regardless of citizenship. Therefore, when Dutch is understood as an ethnic descriptor, it would follow that "Dutch peoples" describes a group of related ethnic groups, like the Turkic peoples, Italic peoples, Iranian peoples, or Malagasy peoples. However, there are no "Dutch peoples" in this sense, so a reader who searches this will be left puzzled. Thus concludes perhaps my strongest and most coherent wikiargument ever, over a redirect that will probably get fifteen page views on the next twenty years. — Anonymous 01:58, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

- Retarget to Demographics of the Netherlands#Migration and origin groups. American peoples -> Americans is appropriate because Americans describes the varying ethnic makeup of American people. Likewise for British peoples -> British people, and Australian peoples -> Australians. These articles describe the multicultural makeup of their respective nations. On the other hand, Dutch people discusses the Dutch ethnicity specifically, rather than the national ethnic makeup of the Netherlands. Dutch peoples ought to redirect to the content which most thoroughly describes the multiethnic composition of the nation, and I believe Demographics of the Netherlands#Migration and origin groups is the best contender at the moment. Multiculturalism in the Netherlands could be an even better option with some TLC. StainedGlassCavern (talk) 22:35, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Not sure if Elisabeth Kubler-Ross (five stages of grief) needs to exist, but the nominated redirect is unlikely/WP:COSTLY due to the hyphen at the end. Steel1943 (talk) 19:40, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

- ...Actually, 2004, but yeah. And surprisingly, this title has always been a redirect. Steel1943 (talk) 23:54, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete - this current redirect as the hyphen at the end makes it implausible. I would probably still object to Elisabeth Kubler-Ross (five stages of grief) being made though, as a potential WP:XY between the article on the psychiatrist herself or the model named after her User:Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 08:34, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep - Implausible as it may seem, this is an OLD redirect, and should be kept for that reason alone, purely to prevent link rot if nothing else. For its stupid implausible formatting, hyphen included, it gets a surprising number of yearly hits... 33 this year alone! That hints to me that external incoming links are a thing somewhere, and we should continue to catch those. To the contrary of nom's opinion, I believe WP:CHEAP applies here.

Comment: Probably best to "delete per WP:REDLINK and WP:XY" due to possible confusion with Fried shrimp. Steel1943 (talk) 19:43, 17 February 2025 (UTC)- Weak retarget to Fried shrimp#Ebi tempura per Hyphenation Expert's comment. It's not enough for me to fully support their targeting option since all Shrimp are Prawn but not all prawn are shrimp, meaning the proposed target may not necessarily be about the subject of the redirect, but it's better than the current target which only has a vague mention of "shrimp" at Tempura#Seafood; having the redirect target there would seem to be a WP:RETURNTORED situation due to the lack of content specifically about the subject of this redirect. Either way, the current target is not specifically about shrimp but rather "presentation" about tempura in general, and there's more content about a shrimp topics at Fried shrimp regarding tempura, so at the very least do not keep. Steel1943 (talk) 23:59, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget Fried shrimp#Ebi tempura. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 20:31, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

- Дракуля → Dracula (disambiguation) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Seemingly unhelpful to redirect the cyrillic to the Dracula disambiguation page. To my understanding none of the entries have the cyrillic anywhere. Utopes (talk / cont) 23:23, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
- Comment Romanian Cyrillic alphabet, and the historical Dracula was from Wallachia, part of historical greater Romania, which also used Cyrillic. Wallachia is now part of Moldova, which also uses Moldovan Cyrillic alphabet -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 23:38, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
- Contingently, Retarget to Vlad the Impaler - According to Romanian Cyrillic alphabet, Romania used a cyrillic alphabet until 1830, Vlad the Impaler was in the 15th century. That would make this WP:RFOR compliant... assuming that this cyrillic is correct to the historical Romanian alphabet, and that this term was used for Vlad in Romanian at some point before 1830. I would guess that this is the case, but I don't know for certain, so my !vote is contingent on these being true. Fieari (talk) 23:39, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

- Tamago (food) → Tamagoyaki (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
"Tamago" means "egg" in Japanese, whereas "yaki" means "grilled". The current target effectively redirects "egg" to "grilled egg", and is hence too specific compared to other Japanese egg dishes, particularly Onsen tamago. feminist🩸 (talk) 06:35, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

Paradoctor (talk) 04:25, 10 February 2025 (UTC); edited 13:24, 10 February 2025 (UTC)- Retarget to Masami Akita discography where the 2004 album "Tamago" is listed. It cannot be redirected to Egg, since that is not a Japanese topic and there is no AFFINITY. It cannot target the current target, since it's the wrong name. The current target and other uses of Japanese food are PTM and not useful as not referred to as such on its own. -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 07:29, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- In theory, Category:Japanese egg dishes can be a plausible target. feminist🩸 (talk) 16:29, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- Apart from the WP:XNR issue, "egg" shouldn't redirect to "egg dish" for the same reason it should not redirect to "grilled egg".
- More importantly, you missed me changing my !vote to "disambiguate". Redirecting to wherever is no longer appropriate. Paradoctor (talk) 17:07, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

- Strong Delete (unless a discussion of the case is ever re-added to wikipedia) - Anyone searching this name is looking for information on the false accusation, and they won't find it because it was removed from the article, presumably for BLP compliance. Unhelpful, as the existence of this redirect without an explanation in the article could be actively misleading! It might lead a searcher to assume that the accusation was true, for example! (Note, regulars to RfD will know I often support redirects without a mention because they CAN be helpful... this one can't) Fieari (talk) 00:18, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. At best this is unhelpful; at worst there are BLP concerns. Contra Jax, WP:CHEAP#1 is irrelevant: while it is true that deleting redirects does not save disk space, that does not mean that we should retain redirects which are unhelpful or harmful. We routinely delete redirects for all sorts of reasons despite the existence of CHEAP. Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 15:48, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

ZeuS
This particular capitalisation would probably refer to Gameover ZeuS. The page was originally created as a camel-case title in pre-MediaWiki times, so I'm not sure how easily this is retargeted, but in case it is not, a hatnote would unfortunately appear quite odd (though the malware should probably be added to Zeus (disambiguation) either way). 1234qwer1234qwer4 03:23, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
Delete. Unlikely typo for a god, an unlikely redirect for malware. Викидим (talk) 03:30, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- Changing vote to Keep. With the "delete" option unavailable, the least damage is done by keeping redirect to a well-known properly capitalized name, thus avoiding a surprise. Most search engines ignore the case anyhow, so this redirect will not help externally to find the malware article. --Викидим (talk) 03:54, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- {{R from CamelCase}} redirects are kept for continuity/compatibility purposes so the first argument does not apply. 1234qwer1234qwer4 03:37, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) Retarget to Gameover ZeuS, as I can't imagine someone capitalising the final letter when looking for the god, and I'm not seeing anything at Zeus (disambiguation) which this might refer to instead. Adding Gameover ZeuS to Zeus (disambiguation) also seems sensible to me. – Michael Aurel (talk) 03:33, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- Disambiguate between Zeus and Gameover ZeuS. On one hand, Gameover is more accurate to the redirect but on the other hand the history of this article was always about the Greek god. User:Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 09:54, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to Gameover ZeuS. Agreed with Michael Aurel that anyone typing it this way is probably thinking of the malware. A hatnote directing to Zeus and Zeus (disambiguation) could be added there, and the article added to the disambiguation page as well. That should cover all the likely possibilities. P Aculeius (talk) 14:49, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to Zeus (disambiguation) -- this will take care of {{R from camelcase}} of a redirect from 2001; and other uses; just list it on the dab page -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 07:37, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget per above. / RemoveRedSky [talk] 14:57, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to Gameover ZeuS per Michael Aurel and WP:DIFFCAPS. I may have missed something, but in a quick review of Zeus (disambiguation) I didn't see anything else which would commonly be written with the last letter capitalised. 59.149.117.119 (talk) 02:55, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

- Delete - this redirect implies that King of Swing received a DS port more than it implies that it got a DS sequel. I also can't imagine it getting much digital footfall, honestly. Jack talk 17:21, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

Seems like a pretty WP:BFDI-ish redirect like "Despacito 2" and other barely notable memes that i've seen being made into redirects on Wikipedia. 67.209.129.191 (talk) 04:47, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- Note WP:BFDI is an essay on a specific article that keeps on being continually recreated over and over again, and not (as nom used it) a general catch all essay for any given topic or redirect. User:Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 07:47, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- I know, but by the way, "WP:BFDI" has evolved into Wikipedian slang for something that's popular yet not notable (which would be irrelevant otherwise). For proof on this, here's a quote from WP:BFDI itself (most related parts highlighted in bold):
In fact, several users have used the term "WP:BFDI" to broadly refer to any subject in general whose popularity, or even existence, does not translate to notability.

Landan
Unlikely misspelling; more likely people are looking for the first name. Cremastra (u — c) 00:54, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to Landan Rooney as {{R from first name}}; there doesn't seem to be anyone else notable with this name. Duckmather (talk) 18:11, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep it's the way it's sometimes pronounced by some traditional London accents see e.g. [1]. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:59, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget or probably better disambiguate as although there is some usage I'd say over a person with the name (even if a PTM) should be a priority. Crouch, Swale (talk) 22:28, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. Retargeting to the one article about a person with the given name isn't helpful. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 15:56, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

- Keep It's a nickname reflecting local pronunciation, either by local self-deprecation or outside mirth, just like Nawlins or Trawna. I don't see the point in redirecting this to a random Canadian curler as if he's like Adele or Madonna being known by one name. Unknown Temptation (talk) 22:01, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

- Delete Just because it is pronounced like that in certain accents, does not mean that it is spelled differently and this seems like a really implausible misspelling of "London". GoldenBootWizard276 (talk) 23:16, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete or retarget to Landan Rooney - I'm not convinced this is a plausible misspelling. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:26, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Pretty evenly split between keeping, retargeting and deleting; worth one final relist to try and get a clearer consensus.

Thanks, Skarmory (talk • contribs) 03:05, 17 February 2025 (UTC) - Split between delete or keep but certainly DON'T retarget to Landan Rooney because of WP:PTM.

- I'm new here, so don't kill me, but doesn't WP:PTM apply to disambiguation pages and not redirects? Worgisbor (Talking's fun!) 20:15, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- PTM does not apply. WP:RDELETE #2 and/or #8 should be the ones being mentioned instead of PTM at RfD. There are boatloads of PTM redirects already that aren't going to be deleted because of multiple WP:RKEEP reasons, particularly #5, and that WP:RCHEAP. However you can say PTM would prevent a disambiguation page from being created out of the redirect. -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 00:05, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Delete, unless there is an appropriate local target. Sending readers to non-English content is not helpful, and no other redirects to foreign language targets exist. Additionally, the plain {{soft redirect}} template is not used in the mainspace (WP:SOFTSP). See here for precedents. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 02:21, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- Comment - Mentioned in a few local articles, but La Brugeoise et Nivelles seems to be the best potential target if this is to remain extant. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 02:25, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. This is effectively a cross-namespace redirect, and it's confusing because leads unexpectedly to a page in another Wikipedia. It's one use at La Brugeoise et Nivelles should be replaced with a correct inter-language link. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 20:01, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
