The quote in the article is "Beautiful, naked, big-titty womеn just don't fall out the sky, you know". I don't think random variations make sense to keep. Rusalkii (talk) 21:28, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. The quote used in the article is a quote from the movie Dogma – the lyrics in the song are reworded as "Beautiful, big-titty, butt-naked women just don't fall out the sky, you know?". dotXK 02:18, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

- Round Six → Squid Game (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
This was a working title of the Netflix series. We already have Round Six (TV series), which seems appropriate, but there are lots of other round sixes onwiki (2009_Currie_Cup_Premier_Division#Round_Six is a randomly chosen example), and a quick search shows that the TC series doesn't seem to be the primary topic for this title. Rusalkii (talk) 19:49, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. The show is named "Round Six" in at least two different national markets, so it's a valid name. And while there are other things that could be seen as "round six" s, these are not titles but part of those events, so a disambiguation factor is not part of the issue yet. — Masem (t) 19:54, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep per Masem. There is zero expectation of finding the sixth round of the 2009 Currie Cup Premier Division with a simple search of "Round Six", so that example is laughably silly. -- Tavix (talk) 19:57, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

Controversial autism therapy
- Controversial autism therapy → Applied behavior analysis (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
A cursory search indicates that ABA is one of multiple "treatments" for autism, all of which appear controversial to an extent, with this particular one apparently attracting more controversy due to being the most popular. Therefore, I think this redirect is ambiguous (and even if it weren't, probably not a likely enough search term to justify a clearly non-neutral redirect). — Anonymous 03:15, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- No I think it's just this one, as it is controversial in the autistic community and it's not just because it's the most popular, its because of the mental health outcomes of autistic people who have had ABA and because it encourages normalization (all of witch is mentioned on the page). There arnt any other ones that I know of that are as bad as this one. Anthony2106 (talk) 04:46, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

- Anthony2106, look up "bleach therapy" and "chelation therapy". They certainly appear much more controversial (and probably much less effective) than this. Also note that telling people to come vote on your side in any discussion is called canvassing and against WP rules. — Anonymous 13:12, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

- Delete I support anyone developing a Wikipedia article on this topic, but opinionated disambiguation pages for topics where there are multiple perspectives are beyond what editors can manage. I support anyone criticizing this therapy. It seems developed in the 1960s, so I am sure like most psychological therapies it has been challenged. Wikipedia is not effective for setting SEO for disambiguation pages, so if the intent is to find readers seeking this term, then keeping this page will not achieve that anyway. Bluerasberry (talk) 16:33, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

That's true, butMost people who search up "Controversial Autism Treatment" would most likely be looking for ABA, anyway. LarryL33k (Contribz) 04:18, 8 February 2025 (UTC)- @LarryL33k, is there any way to prove this? If anyone ever actually searches it, we have no way of confirming which of the multiple "controversial autism therapies" they are looking for. — Anonymous 02:08, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- Excuse me what is "whatever autism is"? There is an autistic person right here! Anthony2106 (talk) 13:22, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Consarn I forgot to @ you Anthony2106 (talk) 07:04, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Anthony2106 the reason a good handful of "autism treatments" are seen as controversial can be attributed to them being based on misunderstandings of what autism is or isn't, and whether or not it's something worth "treating" or "fixing". case in point, i've been autistic all along! maybe! the diagnosis was done at birth and was torn between autism and a really shitty respiratory system so i can't actually be 100% sure until i have that checked again but shush
- that aside aside, this is why my vote will be to delete, since it wouldn't be a fitting topic for a redirect or dab. if the concept can be expanded into an article about controversial treatments, i'd really recommend playing it safe and working with a draft until it's at least c-class consarn (speak evil) (see evil) 11:57, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- Oh cool you might also be autistic though I don't know how a bad respiratory system and autism can overlap, anyway good luck with an adult assesment especially if your a girl they might be sexist.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Jay 💬 18:27, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- A quick google suggests that ABA is by far the main topic for "controversial autism therapy". On the first page of hits I get only one for something else (Facilitated communication [2]). That being said, this is vague enough that I think retarget per Patar knight is the best option here, I think someone searching for this will be best served by an overview article without us being opinionated about whether ABA is THE controversial autism therapy or just A controversial autism therapy, though I have somewhat mixed feelings on this given how predominate ABA is in the search results. Rusalkii (talk) 20:10, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete because the current target is misleading (this is not the only controversial or discredited therapy), a DAB page doesn't make sense, and there's no perfect alternative target. As a second choice, we could retarget to Autism therapies, as suggested by Patar knight above, but this article includes non-controversial ones as well.

Pet Supermarket

There's a chain of pet stores in the United States called "Pet Supermarket", which I'm wagering is an entirely different organization than the (former?)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 23:58, 15 February 2025 (UTC) - @The Bushranger: Am I understanding you correctly in assuming one of the options you are proposing is that the nominated redirect be deleted and then Pet Supermarket (UK) be created? If so, that causes essentially a WP:PRECISE issue since the disambiguated version of the title "Pet Supermarket" would exist but the non-disambiguated version would not, which would almost be guaranteed to result in this nominated redirect being recreated anyways Steel1943 (talk) 20:00, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- Actually, keep per my above comment and there being no other articles to disambiguate against that have been identified yet. Steel1943 (talk) 20:02, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- At the moment though it falls under, IMHO, WP:EASTEREGG as I suspect most viewers searching for "Pet Supermarket" will not be expecting the UK store. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:38, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

- That would be the U.S. chain I'm referring to, yeah. @Steel1943:, would having Pet Supermarket (UK) (to Pet Supermarket's current target) and Pet Supermarket (US) to Roark Capital Group#Current investments (the latter, at least, as {{R with possibilities}}) as redirects be enough for this to be a dab? - The Bushranger One ping only 08:36, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

- Delete per nom/lack of mention in the target article. 19:51, 24 February 2025 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rusalkii (talk • contribs)
- Keep because "not mentioned" is not actually a reason for deleting redirects per WP:RFD#DELETE (only if the redirect is a "novel or very obscure synonym", and this is not novel, nor obscure, nor even a synonym. It's possible that this should be mentioned in the article, but that's solved with the [Edit] button, not with the delete one. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:15, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. Too obscure for any possible benefit (and no, trivial nonsense like this shouldn't go in the article): if it redirects anywhere, there is a tentative argument towards the Disney corporation (which did start with the mouse), but Walt did not. - SchroCat (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 08:30, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Juvéderm
- Juvéderm → Injectable filler (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
- Juvederm → Injectable filler (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Not mentioned at target. Mentioned at Actavis, as well as some more specific articles like Non-surgical rhinoplasty or Lip augmentation. 1234qwer1234qwer4 13:04, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- WP:RFD#DELETE is only concerned about redirects that are not mentioned when they are "novel or very obscure". {{R from brand name}} is a perfectly appropriate situation in which a brand name is not mentioned in an article. Therefore, keep.
- Please think carefully about this: If we add the brand names for cosmetic treatments, someone's going to come screaming WP:PROMOTIONAL. We used to have a whole article there, but it was redirected to the generic product. Since we didn't add spammy stuff to the main article, then you complain that it's "not mentioned". This kind of Catch-22 (logic) doesn't work: we can't have the article, because too spammy, but we can't have the redirect, because it's not spammy enough.
- PROMOTIONAL is a policy, and having a brand name redirecting but "not mentioned" isn't prohibited anywhere. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Medicine-related articles#cite note-3 even discourages it for situations such as this, when there are many manufacturers producing nearly identical products. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:13, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Answering this comment, but this applies to the several different places where you mentioned that "WP:RFD#DELETE is only concerned about redirects that are not mentioned when they are "novel or very obscure"' - I interpret reason #2 at WP:RFD#DELETE, "The redirect might cause confusion", as supporting deletion in any case where the person might not understand why they've been dropped onto this page from this redirect, which includes most (though not all) redirects without a mention in the target. There's no Catch-22: we can simply not have redirects for most topics that aren't prominent enough to actually deserve a (non-spammy) mention in the article. Rusalkii (talk) 20:50, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

- Keep: there are currently over 1000 cross-namespace redirects to userspace, mostly from wikipedia-space. Many of these are to userspace essays. This is not generally considered a problematic type of cross-namespace redirect, and no reason for deletion has been given which is specific to this particular redirect. Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 14:43, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Caeciliusinhorto-public: A good reason for deletion is that userspace essays can disappear at any time. The reason this is flagged is that there are a lot of redirects to this article, but it has uncertain stability. Cross-namespace redirects are more tolerable when they are less popular. This essay is beyond ambiguity, and is definitely popular. Bluerasberry (talk) 14:53, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- If the essay disappears, the redirect can trivially be deleted as WP:G8. The fact that a userspace essay can be deleted by the user at any time is a reason for widely-cited essays to be moved into wikipediaspace, but I don't see it as a compelling reason to delete CNRs to userspace essays. This is hardly the only wikispace->userspace redirect for which this would be an issue, so the solution is still not to simply delete this redirect. Nor is this a uniquely widely-used essay: just on the first page of the category I linked above is e.g. WP:ASTRONOMER, which redirects to a userspace essay with a comparable number of annual pageviews and more than five times as many incoming links.

- Comment Note that the essay endorses a minority scientific opinion: only a quarter of experts in a recent survey [3] were confident that there was no lab leak. As such the NOLABLEAK essay doesn't seem appropriate for wikispace. - Palpable (talk) 16:57, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- That is not what that source says. It says that only a quarter of experts thought the chance of a zoonotic origin of Covid was >96%, and that on average experts thought that there was a 77% chance that it had a zoonotic origin. All it tells us about their view on the lab leak hypothesis is that on average they assigned it a probability of 21%. None of this is incompatible with what the essay says.

Soup is a primarily liquid food
. A chicken noodle is not necessarily a primarily liquid food; some chicken noodles do not include soup at all. feminist🩸 (talk) 09:53, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- I get your point, but in English, "chicken noodle" without further context is most readily associated with a variety of chicken soup; I doubt other noodle dishes that happen to contain chicken are ever referred to in this way. Googling "chicken noodle" overwhelming returns results for soup recipes. I'll refrain from voting because meh, but I'll just put that out there. — Anonymous 12:54, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep per Anonymous. In English (even French, though there we'd say the equivalent poulet et nouilles), this is a reference to soup. If you had chicken noodle ice cream, it would be chicken noodle soup flavoured. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 13:32, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

2025 United States constitutional crisis
- 2025 United States constitutional crisis → Department of Government Efficiency (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
As well as DOGE's activities on federal agencies, the term 'constitutional crisis' has also been used around the same time to refer to threats to ignore court rulings as well. Xeroctic (talk) 13:03, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete popular discussion of a constitutional crisis is not limited solely to DOGE or to its actions.
- This would have to be its own article, but the use of the term in a descriptive sense would have to become much more widespread in the RS than it currently is in order for it be considered a neutral point of view description. Mikewem (talk) 14:46, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete as the identification of this name with the target subject is not sufficiently established. Neither is expansion to an article appropriate to describe what is currently a matter of passing opinion (WP:RECENTISM). 2601:642:4F84:1590:DDA6:FEA5:D834:38CE (talk) 16:16, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to Second_presidency_of_Donald_Trump#Federal_funding_freeze, the same as the 2024 United States Constitutional Crisis created earlier that I made in January 2025. Also I don't know why this specific redirect was created, as the capitalized one led to it, so delete one as you don't need two.

Topic is not discussed at the target. Remnant of an old stub. Tule-hog (talk) 05:15, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to Nationalization. This is most plausible term for "Reverse privatization", which in turn also meaning "re-nationalization" (also included in the article). Giving that the term "re-nationalization" and "Reverse privatization" already featured in "Nationalization" article, we should retarget "Reverse privatization" term to the correct article. 103.111.102.118 (talk) 07:40, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep as is as {{R from antonym}} -- since it clearly can refer to taking a company public to reverse a prior privatization -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 08:07, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- Note deprivatization targets nationalization (after a blank and redirect).
- Why not
renationalizationnationalization, since it directly addresses the topic (as renationalization)? I imagine this is either due to nuance in the municipality of going public (i.e. which level of state ownership: city, county, state, etc.) or interpreting 'public' as in public offering? I don't find much usage of the term to refer to the latter. The term can be used in the former case to refer even just to cities [4], but that doesn't seem to far out of scope of nationalization. Tule-hog (talk) 19:49, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. Nationalization is not an adequate target, and targeting privatization is pointless because a searcher would find it anyway without the redirect. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 19:40, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to renationalization, which directly discusses the topic and mentions the perfect synonym of "deprivatization". Fieari (talk) 04:41, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

- Comment: Every day in 2003 and 2004 with the exception of December 2003 has its own redirect, and I don't see much of a reason to limit the discussion to this specific one. I would think to delete all since every other year page has few or no redirects like this. I am bad at usernames (talk) 17:57, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
