- Delete Extremely implausible. QuicoleJR (talk) 17:49, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

- Delete what? --Schützenpanzer (Talk) 20:56, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to Southern California. I don't think this phrase is actually that ambiguous or implausible - it clearly relates to both California and the cardinal direction of south. Plus Google search results are all about the Southern California region, even though there aren't a lot. Duckmather (talk) 21:16, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, while the phrase isn't implausible ("Where's Baja California? Towards the south of California.") I think it's very implausible as a search term. Anyone looking for this can and most likely will just type in "South of California". Rusalkii (talk) 03:16, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Siam Nakhon province

- Siam Nakhon province → Siammarat (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
- Siam Nakhon Province → Siammarat (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Having searched high and low, I could find no evidence of "Siam Nakhon" or สยามนคร ever having been an actual name of the province anywhere. The article was renamed from Siamriap Province to Siam Nakhon Province following an IP editor's addition of that name to the article way back in 2006, and remained there until yesterday when I renamed it away from the unverifiable name, which may well be a hoax. Practically all hits I'm finding for the term quite clearly copied the name from Wikipedia. Paul_012 (talk) 23:31, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
I have also since redirected Siammarat to Inner Cambodia where the topic is more extensively covered. --Paul_012 (talk) 23:37, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

- Updog → Cobra pose (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Anyone searching this is much more likely looking for the joke "what's updog" than the upward dog yoga pose. — Anonymous 20:37, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: In yoga we commonly say "Upward Dog" for Urdhva Mukha Shvanasana, Upward-Facing Dog, and this is not uncommonly abbreviated to "Updog". "Updog" serves as the counterpart, and matching name, to the commonly-used "Downdog" or "Downward-facing Dog". There is no ambiguity here as there is no article on that joke. I learn that there is even an "Updog Yoga Studio" from the familiar pose (with a familiar name). Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:51, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep Currently, the only mention of the term on Wikipedia is the yoga meaning, so the redirect has to go there. The best we can do for the joke meaning is a hatnote pointing at the Wikitionary entry, per WP:ELMAYBE and WP:IAR. I'm not married to that idea though. Paradoctor (talk) 21:00, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

- Capitalist Europe → Western Bloc (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
General term, used for capitalism in Europe more broadly than just during the Cold War. Rusalkii (talk) 20:35, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- I really expected that we'd have a potential alternative target, but it seems we don't. There appear to be only two geography-based capitalism redirects: Capitalism in China (Socialist market economy) and Capitalism in Pakistan (Privatisation in Pakistan), neither of which seem to function as potential models for this one (they're arguably rather problematic in themselves). Delete unless someone else can find a valid target. — Anonymous 20:42, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- I was thinking in more of Cold War terms. However, if you think it's redundant and shall be deleted then I'm fine with that decision. Rager7 (talk) 20:45, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

- Broque Monsieur → Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Not mentioned in target. QuicoleJR (talk) 19:35, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. Quick Google search shows that Broque Monsieur is a character from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. Although the redirect would be more helpful if the target mentioned Broque Monsieur, it's still more helpful than a red link. That's why "not mentioned at the target" is not a WP:RFD#DELETE criterion. StainedGlassCavern (talk) 20:17, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- @StainedGlassCavern: If someone looks up a specific character name, and that character is not even mentioned in the article they are sent to, they are going to be quite disappointed and probably pretty confused. As a reader, I would personally rather have a redlink than a redirect that pretends that there is useful info there when there isn't. Also, precedent is to delete these. QuicoleJR (talk) 23:03, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- I agree that it's confusing and disappointing to follow a redirect to find no mention of the searched term. However, a redlink would then encourage someone to either 1) recreate this redirect, or worse, 2) write an article about this clearly non-notable subject. (See WP:RETURNTORED). Perhaps there is a way to add a mention of Broque Monsieur on this article without creating an WP:INDISCRIMINATE collection of information. Ideas for how to do so would be welcome at Talk:Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story or WT:WikiProject Video games. StainedGlassCavern (talk) 16:09, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- I don't think "someone might recreate it" is a convincing reason to keep this redirect. It is pretty unlikely, and if it does become a problem, that is what salting is for. QuicoleJR (talk) 17:49, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

QuicoleJR (talk) 23:03, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- delete as an ultimately not very notable character. i like broque myself (if only because of broggy), but even i can't argue that he's as popular as fawful, popple, significantly edgier bowser, or the shroobs. also he's a side character that no one wants to bang, which pretty much guts his notability consarn (prison phone) (crime record) 11:29, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: As non-notable character not mentioned at target. Redirect is misleading to anybody who searches for the term and finds nothing there. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:29, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

- Restore and further discuss at AfD if desired. Former article with significant history. --Paul_012 (talk) 19:23, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Restore to AfD - no need for a dab if the animator isn't notable. If he is, (imo) better to have a stub on him with a hatnote than a redirect+dab mess. -- asilvering (talk) 21:33, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

(Deletion discussion also applies to Trump Peace Plan and Donald Trump peace plan)
The "peace plans" proposed by Trump I can think of off top of the head may refer to: the redirect, the current war in Gaza, and the war in Ukraine. It's not immediately obvious which one is the primary topic, especially considering WP:NOTNEWS in mind. I think it's probably best to delete these redirects, or failing that have these as disambiguation pages. GnocchiFan (talk) 12:24, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

- Note: Added the aforementioned redirects, and I boldly included Trump peace initiative. Dsuke1998AEOS (talk) 02:58, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. If anything, the primary topic seems to be the war in Ukraine, but neither make a great target. I suppose it could be disambiguated, but I don't think this is a term used often enough for that to make much sense. Rusalkii (talk) 03:16, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Ambiguous descriptive phrase not even mentioned at target. Numerous sour apple cultivars exist.[1] Paradoctor (talk) 16:42, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: It seems like List of sour apple cultivators would be a viable standalone list, if anyone ever decided to make it. Given its current nonexistence, I'm leaning delete for the redirect until such a list is created per REDYES. — Anonymous 19:20, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

- @Anonymous, agreed, but I think you mean List of sour apple cultivars (cultivars as in cultivated plant varieties), not cultivators (people or companies who grow plants). Carguychris (talk) 15:15, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete; "sour apple" is not just a fruit, it's a flavoring for a wide variety of candies and liqueurs, most of which have no documented connection to the Granny Smith apple, although the color green is commonly used for marketing and labels often display green apples. The problem is finding documentation in WP:RELIABLE sources; this story suggests no actual connection to the Granny Smith, and it also documents previous names and themes used to market the flavoring. I favor WP:REDYES. Carguychris (talk) 15:15, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per Carguychris. I think the primary usage of "sour apple" is an artificial flavor, with particularly sour apple cultivars being secondary to the artificial flavor. We have an article for blue raspberry flavor. There could be an article for sour apple flavor, or a disambiguation page if their is an article for the flavor and a list of sour cultivars. But absent an article or list, delete this redirect. Plantdrew (talk) 21:04, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- There is also a Sour Apple redirect that should be added to this nomination. Plantdrew (talk) 21:05, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- Sour apple is an extremely popular and common flavor (usually made with malic acid, ethyl butyrate, etc., that convey the fruity and tart characteristics, rather than from real apples). We should have an article on this concept alone. BD2412 T 21:01, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

These terms are not mentioned in the article. From looking at my search results, this term was first coined by Angela Davis, and there is an interesting quote at Wikiquote. Either delete them (unless a mention of the term is added to some Davis-related article) or soft redirect to Wikiquote. Dsuke1998AEOS (talk) 22:14, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 00:12, 10 February 2025 (UTC)- @Dsuke1998AEOS, have you read WP:RFD#DELETE about the limited circumstances under which a term that is "not mentioned" should be deleted? It needs to be "novel or very obscure". This one is neither novel nor very obscure. No reader is going to be shocked to click a link to that and end up in that article. Therefore we should keep it.
- If you would like, you can add {{R to article without mention}} to the first one. Alternatively, you could edit the target article and add a mention. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:51, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- @WhatamIdoing: Yes, I have read it countless times every time I go make a nomination. My issue is not that "glass-ceiling feminism" is not mentioned in the article, but that it is conceptually distinct from liberal feminism (I would argue it is closer to the topic of white feminism), therefore it is not currently useful. Because the situation here is not clear, a nomination would be better to determine the outcome (whether the redirect should point to some other article, or be deleted). Dsuke1998AEOS (talk) 00:55, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
- https://thecritic.co.uk/the-emptiness-of-international-womens-day/ says that glass-ceiling feminism is related to intersectional feminism, which redirects to Intersectionality. The lead of the current target says that "liberal feminism has taken a turn toward an intersectional understanding", so the current target isn't entirely bad (assuming that one source isn't wrong).
- Could we do better? Glass ceiling is an obvious alternative. White feminism is possible, though it implies that the problem doesn't really exist in countries with different racial/ethnic hierarchies (e.g., in Japan, where people with non-Japanese ancestry are discriminated against, or in much of Europe if you are one of the disadvantaged white ethnic groups, such as Sami or Roma).

- I agree that Glass ceiling is seemingly an obvious target, though I'm not sure whether that opinion piece would constitute due weight in the article. Dsuke1998AEOS (talk) 13:04, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
- The primary purpose of {{R without mention}} is to throw the redirect into a maintenance category which gets evaluated to determine if the redirect should exist or not ... in other words, to determine if the redirect should be nominated for RfD, which this discussion is. Ending an RfD discussion to tagging the redirect with {{R without mention}} is taking a step backwards since it's kicking the can down a road that eventually leads to an RfD anyways; we are already there. Steel1943 (talk) 18:14, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- @WhatamIdoing: Yes, I have read it countless times every time I go make a nomination. My issue is not that "glass-ceiling feminism" is not mentioned in the article, but that it is conceptually distinct from liberal feminism (I would argue it is closer to the topic of white feminism), therefore it is not currently useful. Because the situation here is not clear, a nomination would be better to determine the outcome (whether the redirect should point to some other article, or be deleted).

WP:UNNATURAL capitalisation; implausible redirect. 1234qwer1234qwer4 01:58, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep per {{R from camelcase}}. I am bad at usernames (talk) 03:13, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete This isn't a plausible search term, and if it was the search results would help a user find the right page. {{R from camelcase}} is for legacy page names. I note that the creator of this redirect also created Ddox as a redirect, suggesting a deficient understanding (at best) of the purpose of redirects. Oblivy (talk) 03:22, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Oblivy, on that note, having looked through their contributions, I see that they have made many other confusing, often downright bizarre, redirects. Looking at Wikipedia:‑( makes me seriously question their level of competence. — Anonymous 03:39, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris talk! 02:54, 16 February 2025 (UTC) - Keep per consarn - wikipedia's logo has the last letter larger than the rest, it's not implausible. WikipediA exists as a {{R from stylization}}. BugGhost 🦗👻 09:48, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

- Keep
per WP:CAMEL. Early in Wikipedia's history, two capital letters were required in every title, and while people were arbitrary as to where to put the capital letters for a while, it became a standard to do the first and last letter for some reason. Thankfully, this titling requirement was eventually lifted, but it's standard practice to keep all the old stupid CamelcasE links for historical reasons. Not to mention that,yes, the Wikipedia logo does have a larger "A" at the end, which could lead someone to plausibly type it even today. Fieari (talk) 23:22, 17 February 2025 (UTC)- Edit: Sorry, I just assumed this was old because of the formatting. It is a new redirect, so my reasoning is only per the logo styling now.

- Keep and add {{R from stylization}}. LarryL33k (Contribz) 00:37, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep per BugGhost and LarryL33k. This stylisation business was once included in the lead paragraph, but was deemed to be not accurate due to all of the letters being in caps. However, to me this is still an indication that some people do perceive it this way. Havradim leaf a message 03:28, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete Do people searching Wikipedia seriously not know what Wikipedia is called? Sorry, this is just silly and pointless. * Pppery * it has begun... 05:09, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- Obviously there are people who go on this website who don't know much about it yet. People aren't born knowing about this website, and there are people who don't speak English. If you go onto the main page for the first time and see a logo that says "WikipediA" it's not a large leap to think the website is called WikipediA. BugGhost 🦗👻 14:39, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

- Delete This appears to be a fake {{R from CamelCase}} because there are 3 caps not 2. Created in 2025, incoming links couldn't be a problem. The correct capitalization is taught to everyone by the Main page saying "Welcome to Wikipedia,". Most importantly, typing French WikipediA in the search box already loads the correct page despite being a redlink. 173.206.110.217 (talk) 07:45, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per the other deleters. This isn't a real camel case redirect, and no one is helped by this. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 18:23, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. Created a month ago, making it almost two decades too late to be considered a valid {{R from CamelCase}}. Steel1943 (talk) 22:01, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete – Implausible redirect. Entering alternative casing into the search box will automatically go to the correct page anyway. I can't see any situation where this would be useful as a link. Mclay1 (talk) 01:46, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
- Surprised by the amount of late !delete votes talking about this not being a CamelCase redirect. That's not the argument to keep it, the argument is that it's a stylization. Count me in as a keep, given there were 26 views between the redirect's creation and nomination, of which 12 were at least 2 days after its creation. I think that shows enough use for this to be kept as plausible, though I would've preferred a larger timeframe undisturbed by creation or nomination for deletion.
