This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on March 2, 2025.
McDLT
- McDLT → Big N' Tasty (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
The decision was made in 2007 to merge McDLT into Big N' Tasty, on the basis that, in the opinion of an editor with industry experience, these products had fundamentally the same role in McDonalds's business strategy. Although I can see that this is true, and I am grateful for User:Jerem43's contributions to the article and especially our coverage of McDonald's in general, it's not clear to me why these sandwiches should be thought of as the same product from any other perspective. The McDLT predates the Big N' Tasty branding and had a different selling points to the consumer: the McDLT is about the temperature contrast of fresh lettuce and tomato. The article as it stands does not justify identifying this sandwich as an iteration of the Big N' Tasty "series," and I would argue that this particular merge was based on original research. This redirect should retarget to List of McDonald's products#Discontinued food products, where it is already summarized.
For comparison, McOz, Big Xtra, and McRoyal Deluxe redirect to Big N' Tasty as well. I understand these all to be names for tomato and lettuce sandwiches that appeared contemporaneously with or after the Big N' Tasty, and seem a lot more like localized "versions" of the Big N' Tasty concept to me. StainedGlassCavern (talk) 13:50, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep but the information on the product is at the target page; and *not* at the proposed target list. There is quite a lot of information on the product at the current target, and only a sentence for it at the proposed target. Thus the current redirect points to where the information is. -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 05:29, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

University of Islamic Studies
- University of Islamic Studies → Al-Qaeda safe houses, Karachi (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Not mentioned at target, possible confusion with ur:جامعہ الدراسات اسلامیہ, which does not say whether they are related. GnocchiFan (talk) 20:00, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: There's more content in the article history before it was blanked by an IP editor in 2021 and redirected in 2023. --Paul_012 (talk) 19:15, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Still no indicaction from the previous version that this is independently notable (i.e. no in-depth secondary RS in that now-redirected article), so I understand why this was redirected. But right now it doesn't seem to make much sense and is probably best deleted if it's not mentioned at the source article. (That article seems to have its own issues too, but that's not the purpose of this discussion). GnocchiFan (talk) 17:07, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Cáncer de Esófago
- Cáncer de Esófago → Esophageal cancer (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Obviously inappropriate FL redirect. The edit summary of the creation of this redirect is strange, as it makes it sound as though this redirect was created from a move, when there's no evidence here or on the target page that that was the case. — Anonymous 21:50, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
- delete. that's... spanish. why? consarn (prison phone) (crime record) 22:57, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:FORRED. Steel1943 (talk) 20:02, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: I also found a bot-created version without accent marks: Cancer de Esofago. I don't feel like trying to properly bundle it now, but I think per WP:NOTABUREAUCRACY it can be reasonably assumed that votes cast towards this redirect apply to this slightly different variant as well. — Anonymous 16:44, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
Subtropical rainforest(s)
- Subtropical rainforests → Rainforest (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
- Subtropical rainforest → Laurel forest (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
I think these should probably point to the same title. Cremastra (talk) 19:31, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep but fix vandalism. First, the singular "subtropical rainforest" redirect appears to have been vandalized back in 2020. It should be restored as a link to "rainforest". It should be noted that tropical, subtropical, and temperate rainforests are rainforests that exist in three distinct climate zones. There are distinct articles for tropical and temperate rainforests, but not yet for those of the subtropics. It is quite plausible that a discrete article for subtropical rainforest could be created in the future. It therefore makes sense to redirect to the broader topic page for now. Grolltech (talk) 20:13, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
- Separate articles There should be separate articles for tropical, subtropical, temperate and dry rainforest. Each of these types of rainforest are important in Australia, at least, and there are important sub-categories of some of them, including vine forest (north Queensland) and cool temperate (Tasmania). Gderrin (talk) 03:19, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep both targeted at Rainforest per Grolltech, and tag as {{R with possibilities}} until the article is created. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 21:04, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Chtonobdella
- Chtonobdella → Haemadipsidae (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Confusing: I expected a genus article, not a redirect to the family, which is already visible in a taxobox. Delete per WP:REDYES. Cremastra (talk) 15:48, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
- I am not sure why this was moved from my original redirect (from what appeared at the time to be a monotypic species) to the family page. Needs genus page creation (appears to be about 7 spp): now starting ... Roy Bateman (talk) 04:29, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Enalio Sauri
- Enalio Sauri → Marine reptile (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Not mentioned anywhere at the target. Appears to be a very aberrant spelling of Enaliosauria, which redirects to the related concept Euryapsida instead. I don't think "Enalio Sauri" is even a plausible misspelling of Enaliosauria, let alone that Marine reptile (rather than Euryapsida) is the best target for it. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 15:46, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
- A cursory browse of historical sources shows that Enalio-Sauri was how Conybeare first spelled the concept now understood as Enaliosauria, with some sources using Enalio Sauri without the hyphen [1] [2], while others follow Conybeare [3] exactly in referring to the group as Enalio-Sauri. IJReid {{T - C - D - R}} 17:17, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot, I admit I should have searched in the historical sources before, didn't think of that. In that case, retargeting to Euryapsida and expanding on the history of the concept seems like the way to go (and maybe later retargeting it to Enaliosauria if it ends up being written one day).

- Oakland Assembly Food Court Venue → Jack London Square (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
"Oakland Assembly Food Court Venue" is not, and I don't believe ever has been, mentioned at the target. I recommend delete, and delete the hatnote at Oakland Assembly, and delete G14 Oakland Assembly (disambiguation). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:18, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete The latest article I can find on this is from 2021 and discusses chefs backing out of the venture. I can't find any references to the venue ever opening, so a mention wouldn't be worth adding. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 03:03, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Identitarian
- Identitarian → Identitarian movement (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]

- Disambiguate. Some examples of "identitarian" being used in the sense of identity politics: [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Alternatively, use a redirect template at Identitarian movement. Astaire (talk) 20:51, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. There is adequate disambiguation with the hatnote at the current target. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 20:17, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- "Not to be confused with" isn't the appropriate template because "identitarian" is used to describe identity politics, as I showed above. It isn't a matter of "confusion". Astaire (talk) 02:13, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

- Kentucky militia → Kentucky in the War of 1812#Kentucky militia (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
The history of Kentucky militia is much greater than the War of 1812. The state had militia through to the Civil War era - see for instance Simon Bolivar Buckner's 1861 activities, or the various Home Guard units later in the war. I think the current target is far to specific to be useful. Hog Farm Talk 18:40, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep, this should be made into an article. It currently has 12 articles that link to it and there is precedence for separate state militia articles. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 11:48, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

Spears family
- Spears family → Spear (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
was about to retarget to spears (disambiguation), but nothing there strikes as "family-like". considered retargeting to spears (surname), but there's exactly one family there. considered retargeting to some section about britney spears' family, but that's pretty reductive. either way, the current target is grammatically incorrect, and that might be enough for keeping to not be an optimal choice. opinions? consarn (prison phone) (crime record) 20:34, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- should note that it did target the dab before, but that was a redirect, so it eventually ended up at the current target consarn (prison phone) (crime record) 20:35, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, which is what I think ought to have been done in 2006. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 20:38, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to Spears (surname). Since there is one family there it's a good fix. Can be retargetted again if things change. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 17:01, 26 February 2025 (UTC).

An Italian word for vulgar, unclear relationship to the Latin language Schützenpanzer (Talk) 02:08, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- This feels like a reference to Vulgar Latin, but I can't find any evidence that it's referred to as "Volgare" in English Aprzn (talk) 02:55, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per nom User:Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 02:57, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. Probably found as Late Latin is transitioning to Italian, or as a loan word in English. It looks like a word that might turn up in scholarship to refer to Vulgar Latin, so unless it's needed for something else, it serves a useful purpose. Redirects are cheap.

- If not deleted, your argument seems to suggest it should at least target Vulgar Latin, not Latin. I don't really feel strongly enough about this one to vote, but just putting that out there. — Anonymous 20:44, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- Comment wikt:volgare#Latin Paradoctor (talk) 12:42, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete unless there's any evidence that "volgare" is in fact found in Late Latin or as an English loanword, in which case we should redirect to Vulgar Latin. I can't find any evidence of either of these things though. Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 14:38, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris talk! 08:00, 2 March 2025 (UTC) - Delete, the possibility of it maybe referring to Latin without any more evidence to that regards isn't a convincing reason to keep. Otherwise, retarget to Vulgar Latin, although it still fails WP:RFOREIGN barring any evidence that it was used in Vulgar Latin (rather than only in Italian).

Misskarenenglishteacher
- Misskarenenglishteacher → That Vegan Teacher (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Unlikely search term and even unlikely someone would search this term without the spaces Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 07:21, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
◉ Pages that link to "That Vegan Teacher" (redirects only) (Misskarenenglishteacher isn't listed there because redirection is temporarily paused.)
- Weak oppose/Keep: That Vegan Teacher has an alternative channel. It is titled "Miss Karen English Teacher". In some of Miss Kadie's YouTube videos, it can start with a voice intro that says "misskarenenglishteacher.com". That channel's handle also has no space. 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talk • contribs) 07:24, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

Could also refer to Flameout#Engine restart, for instance. 1234qwer1234qwer4 02:11, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
◉ No opinion. I see a lack of internal and external "research". Relighting is linked from 3 pages for just that meaning; one was a REDLINK from 2013 until 2021. (See Pages that link to "Relighting".) Relighting could refer to RE-computer graphics lighting or some kind of RE-illumination. Relighting could be RE-ignition, but that's hardly a big topic. Engine relight redirects to [Flameout#Engine restart]. Relighting could be REPEAT fire lighting (fire making) after it goes out. How about Rocket engine restart (a redirect to [Rocket engine]). Relight My Fire (album)? RE-[lit]? Why nominate it for discussion? If relighting has other notable meanings, just be bold and make it a disambiguation page! -A876 (talk) 20:01, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and place a hatnote on the Polynomial texture mapping page, because it seems that said article fits more into such. Justjourney (talk) 23:18, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
