Other government types



 * 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 delete. Just Chilling (talk) 03:09, 24 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Other government types → Government (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Other_government_types&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

This redirect isn't very helpful since it doesn't specify what it is "other" than. Rather misleading. Steel1943 (talk) 23:44, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * delete as vague. I don't know what "other" is meant to exclude. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 02:10, 18 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete because there appears to be no clear target. Rubbish computer 02:10, 18 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Weak keep as the target lists many different types of governments, so would presumably list whatever other is being othered -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 06:56, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Hypothetical scenario here: Let's say I'm a reader who is currently viewing the article Government, but after reading the article, I'm curious about other types of government. So, I type "other government types" in the search bar, which directs me to the nominated redirect, and then ... I get redirected back to Government. How bizarre and confusing!

The government

 * The result of the discussion was retarget to Government. --BDD (talk) 17:21, 24 August 2015 (UTC)


 * The government → State (polity) (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_government&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Apparently, there has been a bit of a disagreement on whether this redirect should target Government or State (polity). Should we just retarget this to Government (disambiguation) (after creating it) and call it a day? Steel1943 (talk) 23:38, 17 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Retarget to Government (as in my opinion this is the most likely target). Rubbish computer 02:12, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget to government -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 07:12, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Government, we have no way of knowing which government is being referred to so best to target the generic article. Thryduulf (talk) 09:02, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Government per above, maybe with a hatnote to The Guvernment as a very plausible misspelling. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 19:14, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Government... seems clearly to be the best option... CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 21:04, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

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

Disease is not especially Dutch. Mr. Guye (talk) 21:51, 17 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:FORRED. Rubbish computer 02:15, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - directs readers to what they're looking for; nomination statement contains neither a suggested action nor any information apparently relevant to this redirect. So, ... what? Wily D  09:13, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:R and because the term isn't mentioned at the target article. -- Tavix ( talk ) 13:56, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 19:14, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

 * ReviseF65 → BDSM (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ReviseF65&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Title has something to do with a BDSM event in Oslo, Norway and there is a page about it on the Norwegian Wikipedia. Not notable as a redirect. Mr. Guye (talk) 21:46, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete to encourage article creation -- Lenticel ( talk ) 00:56, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Gross assault

 * The result of the discussion was retarget to Assault. (non-admin closure) Steel1943  (talk) 17:14, 24 August 2015 (UTC)


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

I agree that it is gross, but an expression of opinion is not allowed in redirects. WP:POV. Mr. Guye (talk) 21:43, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment "Gross assault" is the official English translation of the Swedish criminal offence grov misshandel. . Based on the first of those sources, I'm wondering about retargetting to aggravated assault, but I'm no expert on Swedish law. Thryduulf (talk) 22:02, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * sv:Grov misshandel is a redirect to sv:Misshandel, which interwikis to Assault on en.wp. Thryduulf (talk) 22:04, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Assault per Thryduulf. My search results show that this is a synonym or maybe an antiquated form. Sexual assault is gross, mind you, but there are other forms of assault. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 22:06, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Assault per Thryduulf. Rubbish computer 02:16, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Assault per Thryduulf. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 00:01, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Nứng → Sexual arousal (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=N%E1%BB%A9ng&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Sexiness is not especially Vietnamese. Mr. Guye (talk) 21:40, 17 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment Google Translate says the word translates to "hot" specifically. --Mr. Guye (talk) 22:07, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as implausible synonym since hot doesn't necessarily imply sexual arousal -- Lenticel ( talk ) 00:57, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as implausible synonym and per WP:FORRED as is in an unrelated foreign language. Rubbish computer 02:17, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NOTDIC Wikipedia is not a translation dictionary. General topic with no particular affinity for any language, even if French is called the language of love. -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 03:51, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Delete. This is neither a 2013 film nor is it titled Lawless. -- Tavix ( talk ) 21:39, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. Lawless (film) is an unrelated film released in 2012. The current target notes that it was going to be called Lawless, but allowed the 2012 film to use the name (it may (or may not) now be going to be called Weightless). Thryduulf (talk) 22:09, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as a redirect with no clear target and per WP:RFD as a confusing redirect. Rubbish computer 02:21, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete it is not a 2013 film -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 04:30, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) Steel1943  (talk) 16:55, 24 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Hot men → Physical attractiveness (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hot_men&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Like "Hot chicks" and "Hot women", this encyclopedia ain't a porn website nor is it Match.com. Mr. Guye (talk) 20:42, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget to User:Ivanvector Delete per nom. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 22:08, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Rubbish computer 02:22, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep (cross-posted to both) I created "Hot men" and "Hot women" as redirects to Physical attractiveness for a simple reason: a non-editor friend typed them into the search engine and didn't get any useful results. The statistics show that there's a 100 or so people each month who use the redirect. Wikipedia is not a pornography site or a dating site but it does cover issues that are considered romantic and/or erotic. 'Hot' is a synonym for physically or sexually attractive. Acknowledging that it is a synonym does not make Wikipedia into a pornography website or a dating site, unless someone gets some kind of sexual thrill out of typing in "Hot (wo)men" into the search engine and being taken to a rather dry article whose visual content consists primarily of classical and Renaissance sculptures. I fail to see how these redirects detract from Wikipedia's mission. —Tom Morris (talk) 05:37, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per Tom Morris. Thryduulf (talk) 09:06, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - seems to direct readers to what they're looking for. Nomination statement doesn't suggest any action, nor can any be inferred from what appears to be a non-sequitor. Wily D  09:11, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep as this redirect is used to reach its target, so appears useful per WP:R. Rubbish computer 11:36, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per Tom Morris, and thanks both for creating these and for that excellent synopsis. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 19:18, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete purely to preserve my dissent the on record, as it seems there's not much chance of this being deleted. "Hot" refers to temperature, and this is a colloquialism. I'm not sure this combination of words would have the same meaning in all English speaking locations/varieties, though I suppose those searching for this would not likely be looking for literally hot beings. However Tom Morris makes a good case, it has traffic, and WP:R is viable here: hence the weak. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 06:06, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Same as "Hot chicks" Wikipedia isn't porn nor is it eHarmony. Mr. Guye (talk) 20:37, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

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

Physique is more than how attractive someone is. Mr. Guye (talk) 20:36, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * We really ought to have something here, but I'm not immediately finding any suitable target (the current one is not wrong per se, but we can certainly do better I think). Thryduulf (talk) 22:15, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Disambiguate. On the page, include at least Physical fitness and Physical strength. Steel1943  (talk) 22:26, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Delete, non-notable meme that isn't mentioned at the target. -- Tavix ( talk ) 20:21, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - per Tavix, most of the meme redirects recently listed at RfD don't seem useful or directing to the best target (generally Know Your Meme seems to be more appropriate though still not a necessary/proper one). — Godsy (TALK<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;"> CONT ) 01:15, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Subject not in article. May or may not be an example of animal cruelty. Mr. Guye (talk) 20:10, 17 August 2015 (UTC) (UTC)

 * Mfq3 → Military (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mfq3&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

The redirect is not mentioned at the target. Also, most results found for this term via search engines return information for a mod for Quake 3 called "Military Forces Quake 3". So, probably delete as misleading and not retarget per WP:NOTWIKIA. Steel1943 (talk) 17:14, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

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

The word is not mentioned in the article, and I'm not able to find any connections that the redirect has with the target through search engines or otherwise. Per the engines, the most notable subject on the first few results is a community in Afghanistan. So, I'd say delete as confusing and per WP:REDLINK at best.

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

I'm not finding any notable references that connect this term with "army". Also, all search engine hits I get return either an author of books (author's surname) or a non-notable musician who uses the term "Jeesh" as an alias. Steel1943 (talk) 16:56, 17 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Rubbish computer 17:06, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Probably a stab at the army. Compassionate727 (talk) 17:25, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget to List of Ender's Game characters, which discusses the use of this term for some characters in that work. I doubt there's any conflicting use of the term in English under this specific spelling. 209.211.131.181 (talk) 01:25, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I noticed that as well, but didn't recommend it since it seems that all instances of the subject which you refer seems to be "Ender's Jeesh" specifically, so calling it just "Jeesh" could possibly be an inaccurate WP:PTM. Steel1943  (talk) 02:03, 18 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete WP:NOTDIC Wikipedia is not a translation dictionary. Apparently it's one way to phonetically write the Arabic word for army -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 07:01, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Weak keep per WP:RNEUTRAL, this seems to be a reasonably well-known slang moniker for the USAF, and doesn't seem to be ambiguous with anything else. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 16:37, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: whether to Keep or Delete would for me depend on whether or not this team's usage is supported by reliable sources. Rubbish computer 17:05, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I'm finding many mentions that link this term to USAF. However, I'm also a bit leaning to delete since this is nearing the edge of the "abusive and offensive" criteria. The terms seems to mean that the Air Force are a bunch of armchair generals compared to the other branches of military who fight on the ground like real men. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 01:06, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep - While the term is pejorative, it's pejorative in the sense that you can even go to military.com to find self-referential and gentle self-mocking about it. And we're additionally talking about many references being made in many different sources. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 06:52, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Searching revealed a club in Stutensee of this name, but I don't think it has any official link to Kalrsruher SC. (Karlsruher is probably the closest major club.) Spöck seems to play in the Verbandsliga Baden, and some of those articles have redlinks to FC Spöck (new).

It looks like an editor who doesn't know about red link intended links for FC Spöck but didn't want them redirecting to Karlsruher SC, and that suggests to me that the teams are not related.

 * Delete - seem to be separate clubs, no need for the redirect. GiantSnowman 17:47, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete, but comment – It is not entirely true that the club has no ties to Karlsruher SC. According to the German Wikipedia, the women's football section of the club was quite successful on a regional level in the 1980s before splitting from the main club in 1990 under the name DFC Spöck (Damen-Fußballclub or "Ladies' football club"). The new-formed club was on the brink of promotion to the Bundesliga a couple of times before slowly fading into nirvana. In 2001, DFC Eggenstein (as the club was called since 1993) eventually dissolved, with the team joining Karlsruher SC as its new women's football division. To be honest, I am not familiar with the notability level for German women's football clubs below the Bundesliga levels. Nevertheless, given (D)FC Spöck's participation in several Bundesliga promotion tournaments, it should easily be possible to meet WP:GNG at least. The article of the club should probably be created at either DFC Spöck or DFC Eggenstein, with FC Spöck pointing to one of these locations if necessary. Either way, the redirect to KSC needs to be deleted. – Soccer-holicI hear voices in my head... 19:00, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

 * very, very weak retarget to Equipment. Very few redirects with trailing punctuation are useful search terms, however this might be one as it has history and gets a smattering of hits. The history is that Tool was moved (without discussion) to this title in 2006 (presumably as Equipment (with no full stop) already existed as a redirect to Tool at that point, it is now an independent dab page) and then moved back 8 days later, see Talk:Tool/Archive 1 and the immediately following requested move.

The shortcut derives from American involvement in the war and the counterculture which developed; I suspect (but don't have the time to try to confirm) that this was an unknown term prior to the war. For users who type "'nam" looking for the country and not the war, Vietnam is linked from the war article's very first sentence.

There are several reasons why this redirect is not helpful, and could actually cause harm. For one, its target is so notable that getting the first letter incorrect in the title is very unlikely; the amount of page views in the last few days is very minimal. For two, several domain names using this word have been registered by companies other than Google; this redirect being in place gives readers the false expectation that "Foogle" and "Google" are directly related. And lastly, if this redirect exists for a long period of time, since third party web sites sometimes use Wikipedia to create mirrors of redirects, these sites could unintentionally start to mislead readers into thinking that the terms are one in the same; I mean, to this very day, thanks to a bad redirect towards Nintendo, several Wikipedia mirrors are stuck believing that the term Hujk refers to "Nintendo" since it targeted Nintendo for 7 years.

 * Delete. (Now neutral, given TheChampionMan1234's comment below.)  Steel1943  (talk) 03:40, 17 August 2015 (UTC) Unlike some of the "keeper(s)" above, I believe that WP:FORRED, along with almost any other article-related policy, can also be applied to redirects to an extent. In this case, it seems that the word has no prominent use in the English language, and would this confuse readers looking up this term and not being redirected to the article presented in the same language as the redirect. Also, translations of terms that are non-English to their respective language articles is handled by Wikidata interwiki links; keeping these foreign language redirects targeting non-foreign articles compromises the usefulness of Wikidata and interwiki searches.

 * You just described the purpose of Wikidata and interwiki links. Having a non-English title built into the English Wikipedia as a redirect to an article in English rather than its "other language equivalent", in my opinion, causes more harm than good. Steel1943  (talk) 17:46, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
 * This topic has an affinity for Chinese, per the large minority population. See my other rationales for deleting non-English redirects based on non-affinity, and many other people's as well. -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 05:08, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

WP:NOTHOWTO. That, and Soda is a disambiguation page, and I really don't feel like drinking baking soda. Steel1943 (talk) 00:36, 7 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. --Rubbish computer 01:57, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep A "Soda" when used as a name for a drink in ordinary English at least in the NE United States does mean a soft drink; it's alternative use when in conjunction with an alcoholic drink name, is "Club soda" or "Seltzer" or soda water" -- in all cases it refers to the production of a bubbly drink  by dissolving sodium bicarbonate in water (or nowadays by pumping CO2 into water) . For examples of the usage see Google books for "give me a soda"  DGG ( talk ) 20:59, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * That statement accurately supports the existence of a redirect by the name "Soda drink" (which I just created); however, this redirect is "Soda drinking", which is not the subject of the target article. Steel1943  (talk) 13:52, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per Steel1943's reply to DGG. Also, drinking baking soda would probably be exceptionally bad, both because of the violent reaction that would be experienced with one's stomach acids, and also because it's not a liquid. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 02:35, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Soda Drinker Pro. When the context is drinking, "soda" always means "soft drink" and never "baking soda", but the target (a rather bizarre subject I admit) starts with "Soda Drinker Pro is a video game that simulates the act of drinking soda". Thryduulf (talk) 13:10, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * "Soda" drinking could also refer to certain alcoholic drinks. I think that this suggested target is so obscure as to be unhelpful from this redirect, but good find. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:28, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

It pains me to do this, since I love Fallout, but none of these concepts are mentioned at the target article. And since they're concepts present in multiple Fallout games, retargeting to just one of them doesn't make much sense to me. --BDD (talk) 01:56, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - The concept of the 'Garden of Eden' is a general one with a meaning beyond the video game series. As for the other linkages made, the terms aren't particularly notable outside of the game series. Even someone that knows of the games and have seen them being played may not know or understand the concepts of 'radaway', 'GECK', or 'Nightkin'... 'Nuka cola' is a bit different given its quasi-meme status, so people who haven't played the games might know of it (same as non-Half-Life players might recognize a plush-toy headcrab)... but it's still not really helpful in the Wikipedia context.
