Delete, event does not exist. There will be Summer Youth Olympics in 2018 and 2023, but not 2022. -- Tavix ( talk ) 17:19, 7 February 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: To allow further discussion of the proposed retarget. Also I'm amused by the low volume of RfD nominations on Valentine's Day.
 * Delete Can it be speedied as a Hoax? Legacypac (talk) 19:10, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. It is much too premature to have that title at Wikipedia.  (And if it weren't too premature, WP:CRYSTAL allows (slightly) forward-looking articles, not redirects.  Rossami (talk) 19:20, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * To be fair, this isn't a WP:HOAX. At the time these redirects were created, the 2023 Youth Olympics were scheduled to happen in 2022 — according to their article, the decision to shift it from 2022 to 2023 didn't happen until about 1.5 years after somebody tried to create a premature Wikipedia article about 2022. So it was a good faith and fully honest creation at the time, albeit WP:TOOSOON and hence replaced with redirects instead, which later got rescheduled to a new year by a decision of its organizers. Given the change in circumstances I don't see the redirects as hugely necessary anymore — although redirecting them to the 2023 event, on the grounds that some users might be genuinely confused by the interval from 2018 being five years instead of four, would also be an option — but they're a thing that was going to happen exactly as the title states and then got rescheduled later on, not a hoax. Either delete, or retarget to 2023 to prevent possible confusion. Bearcat (talk) 20:02, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete both per Bearcat as WP:RFD confusing to redirect 2022 to 2023. Neither has any internal links beyond this discussion. Si Trew (talk) 21:01, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete both since the event won't happen in 2022. Joseph2302 (talk) 23:53, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete both -- won't happen, and therefore meaningless. -- The Anome (talk) 00:18, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Retarget to 2023 Summer Youth Olympics - given Bearcat's explanation, someone coming here to find information about the 2022 event will find that information at the 2023 article, which explains the postponement. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:51, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Retarget R from former name per Ivanvector -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 04:47, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Deryck C. 23:08, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Regarget per 70.51.200.135 (with the rcat), in turn per Ivanvector. It isn't true this is a hoax, and it's encyclopedically useful. Anyone noting or already knowing the usual timing of these events, but unaware of the rescheduling, will expect this to work.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  20:03, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was keep Chrystia, and Khrystyne as - while not unanimous, the rough consensus is that where Wikipedia has only one person with a given name of a certain exact spelling, it is preferable to redirect to the person's biography rather than pointing to a name index page with similar or related names. The other items have clearer consensus: Name index Chrystine, Jaynie, and Juliann; Disambiguate Shenae.  Thanks for drafting the name indices. Deryck C. 16:43, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Amendment - Relist Shenae separately at Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 February 25. BDD and Tavix quickly pointed out that they advocated keeping it - I had incorrectly counted them as neutral on this one as their comments didn't specifically respond to the disambiguation proposal.

Neelix redirects that fails WP:PTM MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 03:27, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I've got a split !vote that reflects current practice at WP:APO:
 * Keep Shenae, Chrystia, and Khrystyne as s: " It is used because Wikipedia has only one biographical article of a person by this given name, or because one individual is ubiquitously known by this given name."
 * Create name indexes for Chrystine, Jaynie, and Juliann. These names aren't unique on Wikipedia, so it's best to create a name index for that particular name. I have drafted the indexes below the redirect. -- Tavix ( talk ) 04:09, 14 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Retarget "Chrystine" and "Khrystyne" to Christine as R from alternate spelling -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 06:09, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Retarget "Jaynie" to Jayne as R from alternate spelling -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 06:09, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Retarget "Chrystia" to Christy (given name) as R from alternate spelling -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 06:09, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Retarget "Juliann" to Julianne as R from alternate spelling -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 06:09, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Setindexify "Shenae" for A. shenae and D. shenae and given name "Shenae" (with a list containing Shenae Grimes) -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 06:09, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Note: These are NOT "alternative" spellings for any other name. They are correct spellings for the people who have those names. -- Tavix ( talk ) 06:43, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Those people are using alternative spellings of names for which we have articles under other spellings. The targets are articles for which these spellings are alternative spellings, so they are indeed alternate spellings, since the proposed targets are not biography articles. -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 03:01, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * No, for Chrystia Freeland, for example, her name is "Chrystia," not "Christy." "Christy Freeland" is not an alternative spelling for her name, it is simply incorrect. It works just the same for any other name, "Jaynie" is a unique and different name than "Jayne." At WP:APO, we set up our name indexes to reflect that. -- Tavix ( talk ) 03:06, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * No, the proposed target is not "Chrystia Freeland", it is "Christy" (or actually "Christine" but we have an article on "Christy"). "Chrystia" is another form of "Christy". Ms. Freeland has nothing to do with it, since she would no longer be the target of the redirect. Given names have many variants and pet forms. Some parents frequently choose unique or rare spellings of given names to give a sense of identity to their children. We should not need to write new articles on every single letter difference in names as new name articles. -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 03:59, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * The scope of the article on "Christy" covers just those people who are named "Christy." It doesn't cover anything else, because anything else is a separate name. You're assuming these names are related, but since we don't have any sources connecting the names, it's a violation of WP:OR. What we do instead is include see-alsos or hatnotes to names that look and sound similar (eg: Kristy, Christie), but without sources, you don't have any authority to connect those dots. Furthermore, our readers are competent: they are searching for "Chrystia" for a reason, and are more likely than not to be looking for "Chrystia Freeland" (an exact match), than to be completely messing up the spelling for someone named "Christy." We need to reward our readers for spelling Ms. Freeland's name correctly, and for all others, that's why we have hatnotes. -- Tavix ( talk ) 04:12, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * This baby name book lists Chrystine as a variant spelling of Christine. The Anthroponymy Wikiproject guidelines on name indices recommend: "Alternate spellings of the same name may be included if they have the same origin as the primary spelling". 58.176.246.42 (talk) 16:36, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, it means listing that name as a variant form. See an example at: Christina (given name). Note that including a variant is different from merging. -- Tavix ( talk ) 18:23, 16 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I oppose deletion. Given names are not partial-title matches, because virtually every person can reasonably be referred to by their given name. If we have one notable person by any of these names, they properly should redirect to that person as an R from given name. If not, a set index. We can still hatnote to the more conventional spelling, but the only one here close enough for confusion IMO is "Juliann", which is worth a hatnote to Julianne. --BDD (talk) 16:11, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Name indexes for Chrystine, Jaynie, and Juliann, per Tavix. Retarget Chrystine and Chrystia, and especially Setindexify Shenae, per 70.51.200.135.  Is there any actual consensus record in favor of "It is used because Wikipedia has only one biographical article of a person by this given name, or because one individual is ubiquitously known by this given name"? Or did someone just create a  and stick their own "rule" in it?  Even if there is, it seems like the least useful option. And if any subject were actually "ubiquitously known by this given name" they would already be at that name here, per WP:COMMONNAME, which leads me to suspect someone just made it up for template documentation without thinking very hard about it.  The only use case I can think of for R from given name is made-up names, like Dweezil, that are unique in the encyclopedic realm yet not by themselves the actual common name of the subject.  Rare.  Also, "virtually every person can reasonably be referred to by their given name" is a good argument  redirects like these from faintly unusual spellings to some particular person.  Finally, no we do not need to "reward" readers for typing weird names correctly; WP:NOT. PS: I have improved the cross-referencing and such between the various Christie, Christy, etc. disambiguation pages, and moved the Christie-as-a-given-name material to Christy (given name) as an alternative spelling, since the Christie (name) (now Christie (surname)) article is about the Scottish surname and has nothing to do with the diminutive of Christin[e|a].  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  21:36, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm glad to see I'm not the only person with misgivings against r from given names. They may make sense in some limited contexts, but for the most part they are a maintenance & usability nightmare: their creators leave them to rot & interfere with searches even as Wikipedia builds up more and more articles about people by the same name. With regards to Jaynie, for example, it has been seven years since the statement "Wikipedia has only one biographical article of a person by this given name" became untrue, and no one noticed until now. In the meantime, we've probably confused the hell out of hundreds of searchers who were trying to find information about the name Jaynie or at least one of the other people by that name, but instead got landed on Jaynie Seal's page without any indication of why they weren't getting search results. 58.176.246.42 (talk) 10:13, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Except Jaynie was never tagged as a redirect from given name, which is why it was never maintained. Most of that category was populated by me, and I do expand them into lists where required. &mdash;Xezbeth (talk) 13:59, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, and those maintenance efforts are much appreciated, but unfortunately the vast majority of redirects aren't categorised in the first place. Given name redirects tend to languish for years because they're so hard to hunt down, unless something else draws attention to the user's creation history (like happened here). Seven years isn't even a record; Mitsuhide took eight years between the second article about a person by that name getting created and the redirect getting listified. 58.176.246.42 (talk) 16:36, 16 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep all per Tavix. Merging them into other name articles without appropriate sourcing would be wrong. &mdash;Xezbeth (talk) 06:13, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose deletion per BDD. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 15:11, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

See also previous day's Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 February 13. * Delete as WP:RFD confusing per WP:XY, or send it to the DAB at Foo-foo if we must. This doesn't disambiguate very well, because Foo Foo and Foo-Foo are also dogs (and all are poodles, at that). Not used in any internal links. 90-day stats are Foo-foo 1341 (15/day) Foo Foo 125 (1/day) Foo Foo (dog) 271 (3/day) and Foo-Foo 653 (7/day); that doesn't maybe tell us much because we don't know if people end up where they expected. Si Trew (talk) 00:25, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. This redirect exists for a simple reason: virtually all of the Western media coverage of this animal referred to it as Foo Foo (see . The reason the article is at Fufu (dog) is because that is how it is transcribed using the standard Thai-to-Latin alphabet transcription system (i.e. ฟูฟู → fufu). Prioryman (talk) 01:09, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * That's not the point, which is that it's not the only dog known as Foo Foo; I don't think it automatically follows that because the article disambiguates with (dog) then the redirect must. In any case, the article should probably be moved to "Foo Foo (something)": WP:TRANSLITERATE (policy) says "if there is a common English-language form of the name, then use it, even if it is unsystematic", and WP:ENGLISH (policy) concurs with "do not substitute a systematically transliterated name for the common English form of the name, if there is one". Si Trew (talk) 06:18, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep as an entirely plausible alternate transliteration. If there is a strong argument to disambiguate, that should be hashed out on the respective talk pages.  Deletion of the pagehistory is unnecessary before making that decision.  Rossami (talk) 22:48, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Clerk action: I think there's a clear case for merging this discussion with that of Foo Foo on the Feb 13 log. In addition, the discussion thus far suggests Foo-Foo may also be changed. Please continue the discussion for all three redirects here. Deryck C. 11:25, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * which makes the three !votes above nonsense since they refer to different things. SiTrew-- ip editing as 84.3.187.196 (talk) 23:59, 15 February 2016 (UTC).


 * Retarget all to the DAB page: These are a mixture of randomly-transliterated non-English, and baby-talk, neither of which have consistent spellings in English. These do not really qualify for WP:SMALLDETAILS and none are the article titles, anyway, just redirs.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  19:57, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep Foo Foo (dog), WP:PRIMARYTOPIC: the others don't have articles. Retarget the others to the disambiguation as they are ambiguous. (IMHO: I think the late merge muddied this discussion somewhat. I don't think this was a clear case either.) -- Tavix ( talk ) 04:11, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep as disambiguation,, Retarget the others to Foo-foo (the DAB). I've boldly made a hatnote at Fufu (dog) (with ); we'll need to change that too if we don't keep . But after this closes I'll probably open an RM discussion for reversing the redirect per WP:COMMONNAME; it's not a "random" translation but the most common one in Western sources, according toUser:Prioryman above.
