- Deep-sea fangly fish → Anglerfish (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Delete; this is not a term anyone uses, especially in the literature Anthropophoca (talk) 15:28, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep The term is included in Urban Dictionary.[1] GoldenBootWizard276 (talk) 22:53, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete It seems to be a Homestar Runner reference, to a figure who resembles an anglerfish. [2] (archive). It's not an anglerfish, and is WP:FANCRUFT anyway. Aprzn (talk) 00:41, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- If it turns out to be popular enough that many people actually use the term then it could be redirected to "deep-sea angler" (Ceratioidei) since i'm aiming to rework the Lophiiformes page for better scope, but we'd have to wait for what other people think Anthropophoca (talk) 02:24, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

Oh Man
yet another very common phrase that somehow ended up as a song redirect; maybe retarget to wikt:oh man? Duckmather (talk) 20:10, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to Wiktionary per nom. Editorial comment: redirects based on a common phrase, epithet, idiom or motto should never target a musical album or artist because of a song that is not notable enough to have a dedicated Wikipedia page. To me, this is a clear violation of MOS:EASTEREGG. Carguychris (talk) 22:06, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep, since to my surprise, I can't find any other songs or pieces of media with the same title. If anyone does, I'd be okay with disambiguating too. A soft redirect to Wiktionary (always a bad idea), is especially bad here when we have a song with this exact title (also per WP:DIFFCAPS). What's the point of pointing this to the Wikt entry? This is an extremely common English phrase that we'd expect anyone reading English WP to be familiar with, and if they're not, they can use a dictionary, which Wikipedia is not. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 23:54, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Leaning keep per IP; not every common phrase needs to be a soft redirect. — Anonymous 01:00, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to O Man and add a {{wikt}} to that disambiguation page. This is clearly an ambiguous term, it's presumptuous to assume that capitalization of a commonly capitalized phrase necessarily refers to one specific song. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:52, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
- The reason I did not consider this an "O Man" dab entry, but a "See also" entry is because the dab is very "O Man"-specific. If retargeting, then change the dab to: O Man or Oh Man may refer to..., and add an entry for the Souldier song. Jay 💬 07:06, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Pppery, @Jay, taking another look at the DAB, I'm not sure whether it should even exist to begin with. There are only two entries, one of which is incredibly niche and not a major topic in its own right ("O' Man" was simply the name of the third hole at a random golf championship). There's some better stuff in the see also section, but DAB pages aren't made to accommodate see alsos. If the outcome of this discussion is not to put this entry in the main text of the DAB page, then I would recommend the page's deletion. — Anonymous 23:01, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
- Plus of course Souldier and Wiktionary. I'm thinking of heading it "Oh Man or O Man may refer to:" so those aren't see alsos. But fine with deletion too I guess. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:05, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

Needs deletion Super Ψ Dro 13:29, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Comment The nominator doesn't give any reason why this should be deleted, but I'm guessing it's because it's a subpage of an unregistered user? User to mainspace redirect are almost always fine when they are in the userspace of registered users (other than base user pages, which should be converted to soft redirects) but I don't recall any previous discussion about IP user space. This is a {{R from move}}, with the article having been written here in 2010 by Michelle JP (for no immediately obvious reason), the same editor who moved it to mainspace. Michelle JP hasn't edited since 2015 so it seems unlikely they are around to explain (and far from guaranteed they remember why even if they are). Thryduulf (talk) 13:53, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

Confusing redirect over Johnny & Associates and Starto Entertainment. Absolutiva (talk) 11:29, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Also bundle Johnny's Jr. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:32, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: They have a ubiquitous presence in the Japanese pop media industry and have their own article on the Japanese Wikipedia. Several groups make independent record deals and have acting projects before they "graduate" and make their proper debut. The group did get renamed "Junior" Johnny & Associates rebranded themselves as Starto, though. I would say to keep it in their original redirect because the name Johnny's is associated with the former company. lullabying (talk) 20:03, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- I see the expansion of "summary" and "overview" about the details of musicians on both predecessor and successor. Absolutiva (talk) 22:19, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep: As @Lullabying has said, they are an important part of the history of the agency. Besides, Junior's presence in Starto has already changed, forming new groups (still to debut). If any confusion persists, then there should be a redirect to "Starto Juniors", rather than delete "Johnny's Jr." to take people to the new trainee groups.

Take it easy policy
- Take it easy policy → Urvasi Urvasi (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
This seems to be a soramimi/mondegreen of the song title (possibly referencing the Buffalax internet meme), but there is no mention of mishearings in the article. Xeroctic (talk) 11:12, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: The lyrics are real and were used even in parody versions. How to incorporate? --Kailash29792 (talk) 11:30, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- It can be added to Kadhalan § Legacy where it comes close to a mention. The same may be replicated at the target as well. Also Prabhu Deva's audio book biography (no mention in wiki article) is called Take It Easy Policy. Jay 💬 13:10, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

- Cotton ribbon → Ink ribbon (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
what is this doing here anyway? was about to retarget to ribbon since cotton isn't mentioned in the current target but is mentioned there, but it's only mentioned in passing in the lead, so is it even worth it? consarn (prison phone) (crime record) 20:19, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Old-fashioned typewriter ribbons were made of inked cotton. This magazine describes the manufacturing process. This book describes how it worked (and says that the IBM Selectric, which is what I learned to type on, used a plastic substitute). You can use those sources to expand Ink ribbon if you'd like to.
- The redirect could become a disambiguation page, since ribbons made of cotton are (well, mostly "were") used in apparel. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:34, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 06:29, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to Ribbon, where it is mentioned, and is the most logical target. I find it highly unlikely that the searcher would be looking for ink ribbons, even if said ribbons used to be made of cotton and the sourced mentions are added to that article. I find it much more likely that a searcher for cotton ribbons would still find information useful to them at ribbon, even if cotton is only mentioned once. Fieari (talk) 23:35, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

- Retarget to Ribbon per Fieari. Those looking for ink ribbons will find a link in the article (although that does feel awkwardly wedged in), and perhaps a link should be added at ribbon (disambiguation) too? Thryduulf (talk) 14:01, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris talk! 09:49, 24 February 2025 (UTC) - Retarget perhaps to Umayyad Caliphate as they, unlike their predecessors and successors, pursued policies that could be unambiguously characterized as imperialistic. Cheers, RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 11:51, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to Efraim Karsh#Islamic Imperialism? Unsure of whether the phrase would be more likely to be used by people looking for the Ummayads, the Ottomans, IS, and so on, I did a quick Google search, and most of the results were about this book. StainedGlassCavern (talk) 15:05, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: per WP:RNEUTRAL, we should only retarget Islamic imperialism to Spread of Islam if this usage is "established" and "used in multiple mainstream reliable sources," as this would be a {{R from non-neutral title}}. StainedGlassCavern (talk) 15:14, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- It should just be made into a disambiguation page since the retarget votes also seem unsure as to what the best target would be and are just citing their personal opinions. Yue🌙 02:45, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Jay 💬 17:40, 5 March 2025 (UTC) - Redirect to Criticism of Islam. (Or maybe, per StainedGlassCavern's suggestion, to Efraim Karsh#Islamic Imperialism.) This is a politically loaded term usually used for polemic purposes, most notably (to my knowledge) by Efraim Karsh, as noted above. Criticism of Islam is an overview of these types of issues, including the history of conquest and similar issues, so this seems like the most neutral and useful target.

South Italian
- 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 no consensus. The nomination was clear about South Italian retargeting to the disambiguation page. However, there was a view that Southern Italy was the primary topic for it. The nomination's second requirement was for the language-based redirects to have a singular target, and retargeting them to the disambiguation page satisfies that. Jay 💬 14:54, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

- Glottolog calls Neapolitan 'Continental Southern Italian', but we def shouldn't have diff spellings going to Neapolitan and Sicilian. — kwami (talk) 04:02, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget all to Southern Italian All of these terms appear roughly equivalent, so they should point to the same place. And they all also seem ambiguous. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 04:44, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
- Southern Italian Languages is not ideal, but would work better than the alternatives mentioned so far. If the intent is to indicate autochthonous Romance languages only, Southern Italo-Romance is the usual label. Both Southern Italian and Southern Italian Language would very likely be interpreted by non-expert readers as referring to varieties of Italian, e.g. Italian as spoken in the south of Italy, not the indigenous languages of the area. As for Neapolitan, the language of Naples is one of the several Southern Italian Languages, i.e. part of the Southern Italo-Romance continuum. Barefoot through the chollas (talk) 05:31, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

- Delete not a commonly used phrase (it'd be "Hitler's war crimes"). Add that to the ambiguity and uncertainty of the nom itself and this all adds up to a redirect not worth keeping. Rusalkii (talk) 02:21, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

I see this redirect has some unusual history, with its most recent edit being unilateral retargeting to its current destination a few years ago by a dead account with under fifty edits.

If the capital city is not the primary topic, then the disambiguation page should be moved to the base title.

Overly specific, implausible search term. Rachel Dixon already exists as a redirect to the same target. Created yesterday, seemingly for the sole purpose of this diff. However I have removed the redirect, so currently obsolete. it's lio! | talk | work 11:09, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, far too specific for anyone to search or find in the wild. ApexParagon (talk) 19:14, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep The redirect was (righly) reviewed by User:DannyS712 bot III. I found the link "in the Wild" from Here or possibly Here - both on first page of a Goole Search. Also this edit by the OP actually removed knowledge from the article - classic case of putting the wiki policy Horse before the "sum of all human knowledge" cart. Tiny Particle (talk) 12:46, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Tiny Particle: I don't believe that the previous surnames of the character Tiffany Eglin is known for portraying is necessary information in the article; feel free to add it back if you want to, I'm not watching it. Either way, I'm not disputing that the former surnames are relevant information to the subject - it just shouldn't exist as a redirect due to it being overly long and specific. Rachel Dixon and Rachel Jordache already exist as redirects - for the former, if someone really wanted to look up the character by her former surname, Rachel Dixon alone would suffice. Please know that I'm only acting in good faith - the only reason I came across this was my shortdesc drive. Cheers, it's lio! | talk | work 12:57, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep per Tiny Particle and the IP editor. In addition to their points this redirect will assist search engines (internal and external) in directing people using similar search terms to the content they are looking for without inconveniencing anybody else. Thryduulf (talk) 14:03, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. TP's claim that there were links found in the wild is incorrect; it was merely the text (on a couple fan sites), without a link to the WP redirect. Just because a fan site formats it thus doesn't mean we need a redirect to match; that's not what redirects are for. Besides that, again, this is overly specific, and we don't need to be making redirects out of implausibly formatted search terms based on this sort of reasoning. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 16:45, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete What's the point of these overly specific redirects? We would have to create a million other redirects such as Hillary Clinton (née Rodham) or Melania Trump (née Knavs). It's useless to have it around; there is only one notable Rachel Dixon and such distinction is superfluous. Plant🌱man (talk) 18:33, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

- Even if we did have to create other redirects (which we don't), such redirects would be equally useful and so there would be benefits to the encyclopaedia and no downsides. Indeed we have {{R from currently unnecessary disambiguation}} to keep track of redirects like this. Thryduulf (talk) 12:46, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

Areo Magazine

- Keep as a plausible search term. The previous RfD advised creating an article at Areo Magazine, but no new article had been created after more than 8 months. Since the magazine now appears defunct (areomagazine.com goes to a private WordPress blog), I doubt any new WP:SIGCOV will appear. A search for "Areo" "magazine" turns up no more likely target pages. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 12:23, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
- Reviewing the previous RfD, I'm surprised by the Delete outcome from Rosguill. It could have been so because I tagged my keep vote as "weak". The only Delete vote was conditional to "if notable", so it's not clear if the closer took a call that it is notable. The recreation qualifies for a WP:G4, and it was not right on the creator's part to create this twice. If tagged, we wouldn't have this luxury of 7 days to deliberate, however, here we are..

- Keep per Sangdeboeuf, this is a plausible search term that leads people using it to encyclopaedic information about the magazine. If the magazine is notable then the redirect can be overwritten by an article, but until then it is useful. Thryduulf (talk) 14:06, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep as mentioned in the target; a very reasonable search term. Plant🌱man (talk) 16:34, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per the previous RFD. While yes, it's a completely plausible search term, that's exactly the problem. Pluckrose was an editor there for a relatively short while, and there's no significant information about the magazine at her bio (there's really more than there should be, even). Having this redirect in place impedes the plausible search that people might make, hiding about a dozen+ ish more hits. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 16:52, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- I can't really even track down those claims about EIC dates for her...And here's a claim from someone else claiming to be EIC there for a different date range that overlaps that of what's listed for Pluckrose. This is pretty questionable stuff, both in terms of verifiability and notworthiness...I would expect a redirect for something like this for someone who founded the magazine, and preferably with more detail about it, not from someone who just worked as EIC there for a few years. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 17:26, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

- Quotation marks don't seem to be commonly used for this name, though. Scientific literature seems to just say it without quotes in this instance ApexParagon (talk) 16:28, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: Checking the relevant scientific literature, as far as I've been able to tell this species is only ever called "Szechuanosaurus" zigongensis (with or without quotes) or Yangchuanosaurus zigongensis (without quotes), and never "Yangchuanosaurus" zigongensis with quotes. Unless I'm mistaken and this last form of the species' name is used in an article somewhere, I say delete because it doesn't exist in the scientific literature in that form and therefore not likely to be actually searched for.

- Delete: Cameos in the Mario series not so much.
- Comment: Barring my subcomment above about attribution, from what I understand from MOS:LISTBASICS, lists are a particular formatting style which Mario#Cameos does not follow so would not suit List of cameos of the Mario series.
