WP:NOTDIC. Steel1943 (talk) 21:59, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I guess I best start giving Special:PrefixIndex/Definitions of a look as well. Steel1943  (talk) 22:49, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * That's a much easier project than Special:PrefixIndex/Untitled (I still don't think I'm done yet). I just looked at http://dispenser.homenet.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/rdcheck.py?page=Art. -- Tavix ( talk ) 22:53, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Missed one! ;) Steel1943  (talk) 01:43, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I saw that! I just assumed it was the same one you nominated... I should've looked closer. :( -- Tavix ( talk ) 02:06, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NOTDIC. Rubbish computer 11:33, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - A person searching could very plausibly be looking for an article about "classification disputes about art", about "art history", or just generally about "art"... given the ambiguity, I guess the term should just remain red. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 06:18, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Zythology



 * 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 keep at Beer. Deryck C. 12:50, 28 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Zythology → Beer (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zythology&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

This word means "study of beer and beer brewing". So, this is probably a good WP:REDLINK candidate, besides the fact that the word is not mentioned in the target article. Either that, or I would imagine that there is probably a retargetting option for this redirect, but I cannot find one at the moment. Steel1943 (talk) 18:44, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. I honestly don't remember creating this redirect, but it links to a directly related topic.  If the study of beer doesn't have it's own article, it seems logical that it should link to beer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrewman327 (talk • contribs) 19:15, 14 August 2015‎ (UTC)
 * That's just the thing; the destination is about the study of the destination and not the destination's subject itself. Compare to Animal vs. Zoology, Cooking vs. Culinary arts, etc.  Steel1943  (talk) 20:40, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * In the absence of a specific article, a redirect to the broader topic is appropriate. Andrew327 21:04, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

*Delete as WP:RFD confusing: not at target. "Zyth" is nearer Middle English to "said", "saith", "sayeth", and nothing to do with beer, which has a long history in both Germanic and Latinate languages of being called, er, beer (bier, birra, bière, et cetera ad nauseam: the odd one out is cerveza). WP:FORRED. Although it looks like it might be Ancient greek language, isn't: I blow my zither at this. Si Trew (talk) 21:25, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * It is Greek. Check out zythology. -- Tavix ( talk ) 21:38, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * In re Tavix. I'm not convinced of that. The last word in am English concise dictionary is usually -> zymology and I presume we get enzyme somewhere along the way. To nobody's surprise, that is  the study of brewing (particularly s -> yeast): but zyt- would come after that. It is not as if it were written zeta (letter) epsilon (letter) (or upsilon (letter)) theta (letter). I still feel it is a bad transliteration. Even by your own argument, it is WP:NOTDIC if there is no mention at target, and that one must search Wiktionary for it. Beerology is red, you''ll be glad to know. Si Trew (talk) 21:52, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * You're welcome to verify it. See wikt:Wiktionary:Requests for verification. -- Tavix ( talk ) 21:55, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Just was tidying mine above, not substanatial change just usual ce's on my part. I shall try to verify it. But it is kinda for you to prove that it is, not for me to show that itisn't: a hard task to ask. Si Trew (talk) 22:01, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Here's the source that the Wiktionary entry uses. -- Tavix ( talk ) 22:14, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm aware of that. My dictionaries are all at the new place, unfortuinately, so I can't check it in print. (Except a big Collins-Robert French, which hasn't it, with very few entries for Z and the last finishing at Zulu.) I understand that Macmillan says.
 * But wouldn't this be better then as a soft redirect to Wiktionary? Zythos is a DAB to several lepidopterae, moths particularly, and no entries for beer. That's the quandary. Although I wonder how someone can name something the "obliterated moth" Zythos obliterata, and things like that, I like to imagine some chap with an enormous butterfly net or perhaps a great big pair of boots, stamping around obliterating them, but unfair on old Z. o., all the same. None of the entries I looked up from that DAB has an from Greek or indeed any, unfortunately. Si Trew (talk)
 * My gsearch for me brings up mainly the study of beer, notably (or rather not: here at Anheuser-Busch's website where it has a pseudo definition.) Since Anheuser-Busch thinks that they can make a beer from rice, as if it were a sake, – which lovers of a bottle such as me know that technically whatever its lede says, is usually translated as but the distinction usually is that it is not a wine but a beer because it comes from  -> ethanol, not [[fruit alcohol].
 * – I will not take AB's definition as a WP:RS let alone that even were I, it would be a WP:PRIMARYSOURCE. Si Trew (talk) 23:38, 15 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete The topic might be notable but we do not have any information about it. Dimadick (talk) 04:55, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep an uncomon word, but a perfectly valid redirect, and we do have an appropriatetarget.  DGG ( talk ) 06:24, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:REDLINK to encourage article creation. Rubbish computer 11:36, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete to encourage article creation -- Lenticel ( talk ) 01:04, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Note. I just added two references for Zythology to the article for beer.  Maybe the redirect should go to this section. Andrew327 13:02, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep and refine per Andrew. I don't think this is notable enough for its own article, so I'm not sure I agree with WP:REDLINK deletion and since information has been added to the target, it clears up the "confusion" concerns. -- Tavix ( talk ) 20:17, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Tavix sums it up well. Si, Dimadick, did you see the word is used at the target article now? --BDD (talk) 05:12, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I hadn't, because I have been moving house and not been on Wikipedia much. However, I am happy to go along withg that consensus. Weakening mine to abstain for that reason. Si Trew (talk) 09:00, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 05:04, 22 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Sweet nectar → Beer (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sweet_nectar&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

I thought that this was another name for mead. But, either way, I am unable to find any reference associating this term with beer, mead, or any other specific topic. The only topics I am finding on search engines are non-notable restaurants. Steel1943 (talk) 18:00, 14 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - It looks like the most common usage of the term is for either in association with a business in New England or a business in the U.S. southeast. As well, someone could very well just be looking for the general article on 'nectar'. It seems that the best thing is just to keep the text in red. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 18:09, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, if this redirected to Nectar, there could be a WP:NPOV claim there somewhere... Steel1943  (talk) 18:24, 14 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete, really it's a tautology since (flowers') nectar is a solution of sucrose and so by definition sweet. WP:CONCISE, WP:XY. Beer is not sweet: well I suppose a few milk stouts are, but by no means is it their defining characteristic, because in a beer the sugar should turn to alcohol (that's kinda the point). Si Trew (talk) 20:16, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete extremely ambiguous -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 05:45, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as an implausible search term. Rubbish computer 11:37, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete implausible and possibly even promotional as a there is a charcoal grill and spirits that bears the name. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 20:01, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Çomment. Foster's Lager is advertised in the UK and Australia, I don't know about elsewhere, as "The Amber Nectar". It only occurred to me today in some blinding flash of perspiration, but because Amber is or was sugar (particulary, -> sap), there is a very vague connection to that. But I think so vague that shouldn't stand in the way of deleting this: indeed makes it even more WP:RFD confusing. Si Trew (talk) 23:55, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as vague. Also most of the hits that I got are companies -- Lenticel ( talk ) 01:06, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Delete, non-notable meme. This isn't mentioned at the target page or anywhere else on Wikipedia. -- Tavix ( talk ) 13:43, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable, and even failing that per WP:REDLINK as has no suitable target. Rubbish computer 11:40, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - This seems to be something that's barely notable even in the 'meme-world', so to speak. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 06:20, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. I was thinking Fajal might exist, so we could have discussed an, but it seems not. Si Trew (talk) 16:24, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - I think it's notable as a meme, personally, but until it gets enough focus on the 'internet meme' article... yeah, I think it just should be red. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 18:56, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per non notability or faikubg that through WP:REDLINK, and its having no suitable target. Rubbish computer 11:41, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

 * 'Delete with (and because of) Lenticel. I know I should come independently, but Lenticel is our expert on eastern asian languages so I think a certain amount of trust is due there. Note the Br.

 * Cranberry and rasberry juice → Juice (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cranberry_and_rasberry_juice&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

The title could make the reader believe that they are going to arrive to an article about cranberry juice and raspberry juice mixed, and that is not the case. In fact, such a mix is not even mentioned in the article. Steel1943 (talk) 04:23, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete mixed juice drinks of specific juices should not redirect this way, WP:REDLINK if we need an article on it. Otherwise, it makes no sense. Specific juices, cranberry and raspberry should redirect to the fruit articles respectively. -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 05:37, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. 67.70, Cranberry juice is an article but Raspberry juice is red. Oh, what a palaver! (or perhaps a pal, a  →  guava.) We don't seem to be very consistent with these. Orange juice is an article, OJ is rightly a DAB at which it is the first entry. I think you're wrong, then, in the general comment to say that the juice should redirect to the fruit.   → Lemon, where as I would more likely R it to citric acid. Citrus fruit juice is red.   → Lime (fruit). Mango juice  → Mango. Taking Ockham's razor, I need not enumerate, but on that small random example many seem to go to the fruit, some to an article specifically about the juse, and some are red. Si Trew (talk) 08:37, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * probably best you put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning.... (singing again) Si Trew (talk) 08:40, 14 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment: Also, in the redirect, "rasberry" is spelled wrong. Steel1943  (talk) 01:37, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Hadn't noticed that, actually. That is a case of is it called eye glide? Most typos go unnoticed (in real life) because the human brain is so good at pattern matching it automatically corrects it without one's conscious seeing it. Si Trew (talk) 00:53, 16 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:REDLINK, but appears to potentially be a redirect from a plausible typo if Cranberry and raspberry juice existed. Rubbish computer 11:45, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:REDLINK. I think it's plausible to make articles for specific juice flavors since we managed to make a specific ice cream flavor article. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 00:58, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Sing k → Karaoke (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sing_k&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

I'm pretty sure this is nonsense. It's not mentioned at "Karaoke" and Google isn't helping me figure this out. -- Tavix ( talk ) 02:32, 14 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete the term seems to be a title of a song lyrics website. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 03:00, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment this would be about singing k where "k" is karaoke. Such as "let's go and sing k" -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 05:39, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Would it, or would it be an instruction to "Sing K" on the chromatic scale, as if I had any idea what I am talking about, having learned only to play a battered old bugle and an ill-tempered klavier. I can get a tune out of a line printer, though. Si Trew (talk) 12:36, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Delete per WP:R. -- Tavix ( talk ) 01:40, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * delete as vague. Per Wiktionary, it's either the Romanian for "mattress" or the Spanish for "disregard" -- Lenticel ( talk ) 03:06, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NOTDIC Wikipedia is not a translation dictionary. General topic with no particular affinity for any language. Further WP:BIAS this has preferential bias for Romanian overtop of Spanish. -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 05:40, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:RFD confusing. My first thought in English was it might be a a misspelling for a place in The Fens, like Manea, Cambridgeshire, Whittlesea (DAB on which Whittlesey is an entry) to or as an opposite of Waterbeach, for example, to mean essentially salty, saline or in the opposite freshwater. There are lots of place names in the Fens that have "ea" at the end, many more with "sea" but that's bleeding obvious. Pitsea, Horningsea for example, but lots that have either dropped the S or never had it? old names and I would struggle to think of the etymology, Old English I would guess. But WP:NOTDIC.
 * However this doesn't really fit the pattern, and I don't know of any place in East Anglia called Saltea. Oddly, gsearching for "Saltea, East Anglia" gives me results in Italian. Si Trew (talk) 08:45, 14 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - Given that this term can refer plausibly to: a mattress, disregarding something, a set of commercial establishments in Altea, Spain, that city itself (due to a typo with an 's' added by mistake), and a song by a musical artist called 'Reboot'... it's best just to leave it red.

 * Corey Griffin → Ice Bucket Challenge (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Corey_Griffin&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

In the target article's present state, this redirect isn't helpful as he's not mentioned anywhere. It'd be pretty easy to add a cited mention to the page, but I'm not sure where or if that's a good idea. Thoughts? -- Tavix ( talk ) 01:30, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:RFD confusing usually covers this when not mentioned at target, at WT:RFD I thought we discussed it and a regular here, I forget whom, thought that we should stet the text at D2 after I proposed to add it explicitly. But I'm struggling to find that discussion. Si Trew (talk) 08:56, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've added Corey Griffin to the Ice Bucket Challenge page, as he had a full obituary writeup in The Boston Globe, which is a reliable source and ups the notability. -- Fuzheado &#124; Talk 17:35, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect - to LMFAO, the electronic music artist... I think. I'm not sure. But I feel like the most likely situation of someone searching is that they want the musical artist and are just making a very small, very plausible typo. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 03:04, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

 * LMFBAO → LOL (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LMFBAO&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Delete per WP:R. This acronym isn't mentioned at LOL or anywhere else on Wikipedia. It's supposed to be "Laughing My Fucking Bare Arse/Ass Off." -- Tavix ( talk ) 00:24, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * It's not an acronym, it's an initialism. Either that or I am a pedant. Si Trew (talk) 12:56, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. I thought it was "big" arse/ass, but hmmmm.... I thought it could maybe go via  →  SMS language, but it's not mentioned there either.   → List of Internet phenomena is no help either. (I imagine Tavix already tried all those.)
 * My same tooth-grinding applies to above. You would think it would, indeed I seem vaguely to remember that LMAO is recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary now, but that's not WP:RS as they have always described words rather that prescribed them. (DOI: about twenty years ago I used to submit, by post, before the days of email and stuff, slips with entries into the Longman Dictionary of New Words.) Si Trew (talk) 12:54, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was retarget to Foot Locker as a R from stock symbol. See comments below. (non-admin closure) -- Tavix ( talk ) 17:02, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Delete per WP:R. This acronym isn't mentioned at LOL or anywhere else on Wikipedia. It's supposed to be "Falling out of Tree Laughing" but why would the speaker be in a tree? -- Tavix ( talk ) 00:20, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Changing rationale to retarget to Foot Locker per my conversation with Steel1943 below. -- Tavix ( talk ) 15:50, 14 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete as WP:XY or WP:RFD confusing. Not being the west side of the pond my search results differ, but even for me the autocomplete search confounds this with Foot Locker: a brand I don't think we have in Europe. Footle in British English slang meens to fiddle about, to tamper (roughly to be a Wikipedian then) and footling thus an adjective for something rather trivial or  → Domestic worker: as Orwell has it of Chamberlain, a hole in the air, or as I prefer to describe it, an oxygen thief. But it's best left to a dictionary, I think: WP:NOTDIC.  (  →  Association football)  and derivatives from other languages (such as ) would seem to be kicking it out of the stands, or as the Americans might say, into the bleachers. (I note we haven't an  for bleachers, btw.) Si Trew (talk) 13:16, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh we do, I just tagged it as . It did not come up on a search for me though. Si Trew (talk) 13:24, 14 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Based on my search engine ... Retarget to Foot Locker as a R from stock symbol. (Yeah, it's rather unexpected.) Steel1943  (talk) 14:46, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * FWIW: The Foot Locker article mentions FL as their stock symbol: NYSE:FL. -- Tavix ( talk ) 14:51, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I noticed that as well, but I noticed both; some had it listed as "FL", and some listed it as "FOOTL". Steel1943  (talk) 15:01, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I'd be fine with that solution. I don't know enough about finance to figure out why that is, so I'll just leave it at that. -- Tavix  ( talk ) 15:12, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * See this reference. I guess it depends on the country where this company is represented. Steel1943  (talk) 15:45, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * That makes more sense than anything else I've seen on the subject. Thanks for the research. -- Tavix ( talk ) 15:50, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Foot Locker.It's probably a -> Dual-listed company to whack it on the Dam bourse so that they can trade in Europe or Euros without currency exchange fluctuations. I don't think it has a retail presence in Europe but perhaps there might be a few  (-> Flagship and I've just rcatted it as ). Obviously we should add the dam's stock ticker symbol to the article's lede if we get consensus here for the retarget. Si Trew (talk) 16:32, 14 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment I'm going to go ahead and close this since we're all in agreement. I guess someone can always renominate it if there's a different issue. Further discussion on adding the symbol to the article can take place at Talk:Foot Locker. -- Tavix ( talk ) 17:02, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Çomment'. I've WP:BOLDly added this ticker symbol to the infobox at Foot Locker; it's the Euronext symbol since the Amsterdam, Paris and Brussels bourses merged to form that. But I don't think there is a template for it. I'm only putting this here so it kinda ties the two together, rest can go on its talk page as Tavix says, but I wanted to tie it back to here first.~Have not modified the closd discussion above.
