• Direct order → Military order (instruction)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ]

  Soft redirects to Wiktionary are almost always harmful. They pollute the search dropdown box and impede searching within Wikipedia, and the target offers no encyclopedic content, despite the fact that WP is an encyclopedia, and not a dictionary. A plain search will still offer a link to Wiktionary for a term that has an entry there, so there's really nothing lost by getting rid of this. Soft redirects also produce blue links instead of red, leading a reader to think there might be more information at the target, when there is in fact none. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 17:25, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's a camera model called the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX9 which is commonly called the GX9 for short, and if I google "GX9", the majority of the search results on the front page are for the camera model and not the music group (which has been disbanded since several years ago).

  Alright thanks, I have now published a disambiguation page draft at GX9 as the all-upper-case title is where most of the topics are at; only Gugudan is associated with the all-lower-case gx9 title.

• Snou Strait → Chyornye Bratya  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

This was created as the result of this deletion discussion but the problem remains that I found no evidence that anyone uses this transliteration of the supposed Russian, if only because it's supposedly named after a Mr. Snow, whose name was therefore supposedly transliterated into Russian. We really need to avoid making up fake English names for things through our own transliterations, so this redirect needs to go. Mangoe (talk) 13:04, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Regardless of the validity of this spelling, an article existed at this title from 2006 until last week. Since then, the spelling has been picked up by several travel sites in both Russian ([1]) and English ([2]) according to my Google searches.

Well, the other way to look at it is that some writer here decided to make up his own transliteration which has enjoyed some extremely limited dissemination by unwary WP copiers. And therefore we should suppress that by refusing to continue to amplify this by deleting the redirect. One could argue that the correct English spelling should be the English name that the Russian is itself transliterating in the firest place, but the fact seems to remain that we don't have a legitimate authority for this.

• Keep. There's nothing unusual about systematic romanization from a non-Latin alphabet. Even when we decide for other reasons to prefer a different form (e.g. because of WP:COMMONNAME, or in this case because it's named after Henry James Snow in the first place), a systematic romanization remains plausible.

• Keep Barack O, delete the rest. As Barack targets Barack Obama, "Barack O" becomes unambiguous and pointing at the correct location. "[First name] [Last initial]" is a common way of searching for names, but the only requirement at that point is that the combination needs to be unambiguously pointing at the right location for it to work well. For Barack O, it is. For the rest, it is not, and thereby the rest can be deleted.

  The above comment is the nomination statement of a duplicate nomination that is now merged that included five of these redirects and had the addition of "Future", which was not initially part of this nomination. 1ctinus, please ensure you tag all the redirects next time (which can be accomplished more easily through the use of the userscript WP:MASSXFD) so this does not reoccur.

• Delete all: Most of these hadn't been tagged for deletion until I found them today, so I nominated all for deletion. An argument could be made if they were song titles or something, but even then, we don't have "I Knew You Were Trouble" or "Hurt". Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 04:43, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all of these unnatural titles. Quotes in redirects interfere with title-matching searches and are generally discouraged. These new creations don't seem to be worth the maintenance cost. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 19:10, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• "Delete" per previous discussions. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:21, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  You will delete, but the problem of somebody who would like to search for Summer instead of summer will remain. gtp (talk) 10:50, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  gotta be honest, i don't see how that's an issue. if a reader wants something else known as "summer", they'd probably know to go to the dab, or just type a disambiguator outright. also, isn't this the opposite of what you said below? consarn _{(speak evil) (see evil)} 12:36, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete; this phrasing is just as likely to be used by someone trying to search for the exact string like in a search engine, rather than trying to search for italics; if this exists it's going to be actively hampering for someone who types this directly into the search bar looking for the string. Hog Farm _Talk 04:27, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  If you search "Universe" in the search bar you will be directed to Universe, not "Universe" or search results (which is annoying in and of itself). J947 ‡ ^edits 05:24, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @J I appreciate again, found out this discussion is unuseful. These people don't read, they are vigilantes, here to maintain the status quo. Originally, mine, was just a way to focus on the simple problem i would like to search for word instead than Word. gtp (talk) 07:43, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  what do those redirects have to do with lowercase letters? they're capitalized consarn _{(speak evil) (see evil)} 12:33, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Deadliest plane crash in South Korea → Jeju Air Flight 2216  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Wikipedia is not google. Redirects that are "x in x" are typically not kept. Delete. -1ctinus📝🗨 00:11, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: To my knowledge, we do not have other redirects like this. For instance, we don't have Deadliest snake or Deadliest_tornado. I can't imagine trying to keep up with a redirect like this if a new crash becomes the deadliest, for example. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 04:57, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, Wikipedia is not Google, we don't turn facts about articles into redirects to the articles. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 19:07, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete possible WP:PANDORA and such facts can change easily thus such redirects would require lots of maintenance not necessarily that lots of maintenance is a good reason to delete on its own though. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:23, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Remember deadliest plane crash? That's a redirect to Tenerife airport disaster. If it's fine on that article, then why is "deadliest plane crash in South Korea" not fine on Jeju Air Flight 2216? TG-ARTICLE Well, if you want to talk to me, then why don't you click this button? There's also my contributions. 20:56, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is it fine on that article? The deadliest plane crash is American Airlines Flight 11. Retarget to List of deadliest aircraft accidents and incidents. -- Tavix ^(talk) 20:33, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Flight 11 was a terrorist attack, not an accident. ThisGuy (talk to me // contributions) 21:19, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The redirect is "deadlist plane crash". American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the World Trace Center. The fact that it was deliberate instead of an accident doesn't change that. SSSB (talk) 14:12, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete or retarget to List of deadliest aircraft accidents and incidents. This would open up a WP:PANDORA of "Deadlist x in y" redirects, which would be near impossible to moniter and keep upto date. Wikipedia is an online encylopedia, not a search engine and therefore this redirect would be entirely unencylopdic, and potential fall foul of WP:CROSSCAT.

Not mentioned in target. QuicoleJR (talk) 00:11, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep if mention is added, otherwise delete If I hadn't have had the foresight to look it up on zeldawiki, I would've treated this as a redirect to a target that makes no sense to the target. However, this IS a Zelda place that IS in TLoZ:LA (and IT'S remakes), so it might be worthy of a mention.
