 * Alacris → Active Directory (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alacris&action=history history] · [//tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews#start=2016-04-23&end=2016-05-22&project=en.wikipedia.org&pages=Alacris stats])     [ Closure:  ]

Unclear why redirecting Alacris to Active Directory - the only link between the two terms is that in 2005, Microsoft acquired a company called Alacris which worked on directories and used Microsoft's Active Directory solution. Redirecting from a company name to a different company's product name may actually be misleading. — kashmiri  TALK  23:01, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Alacris Theranostics, which is known as Alacris. N.b., it's at AfD, so that could mean this ends up deleted after all. So be it. --BDD (talk) 15:14, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment The Alacris which was acquired by Microsoft gets a one-line mention at List of mergers and acquisitions by Microsoft listing their line of business and date of acquisition. Maybe worth a hatnote at Alacris Theranostics at most. Not sure if it's worth a redirect on its own if Alacris Theranostics gets deleted; my unscientific guess is that people are more likely to be searching for partial matches like the species than any of the companies. 210.6.254.106 (talk) 15:29, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

hmmm can we pluralise this? I mean well er just can we? Need I explain (neelix) Si Trew (talk) 22:36, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Wild honey as plural form -- Lenticel  ( talk ) 00:39, 24 May 2016 (UTC)


 *  Delete  Why? The plural of the substance honey is honey, unless you're talking about a nickname for women, then it's a question whether there are notable media such as songs, albums, or films with such a title. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 00:48, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Wiktionary says this is "usually uncountable", but it does have a plural, and the plural form is indeed "honeys". For an example of a non-colloquial usage of that, consider a cheese platter with a selection of wild honeys—i.e., different varietals of honey. The plural is also common at Honey. --BDD (talk) 14:37, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 17:38, 24 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Retarget to Wild honey per Lenticel. --BDD (talk) 14:37, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Wild honey per Lenticel. I agree. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:07, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Retarget to wild honey since I see reliable sources such as this book and this book using the wording "wild honeys", even if it looks like improper English to me. I'm also well aware that the primary usage of the term is a slang term for amorous women (Maybe amorous submissive guys in the LGBT context as well? Not sure.), but I'm swayed to ignore that by the sources I just mentioned. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 13:03, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete this is not a real word. Honey is an uncountable noun. Strong delete. We can go around creating these speculative plurals or just let the search engines do the job. --Tom (LT) (talk) 00:50, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Tom, besides Wiktionary saying this is only "usually" uncountable, the OED gives a 2012 citation of the San Francisco Chronicle using "honeys". Merriam-Webster Unabridged says "plural honeys or honies". You seem to have an extremely narrow definition of "real word". --BDD (talk) 14:18, 31 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete per LT910001, at least until someone can present usage of "wild honeys" in reliable sources. SST  flyer  07:29, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
 * SSTflyer, did you see CoffeeWithMarkets's sources above? Do you consider them unreliable? --BDD (talk) 14:18, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Ouch, didn't notice that. I would be fine with a retarget. SST  flyer  15:06, 31 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete. Yes as the slang for (potential) girlfriends etc. I can see "honeys" making sense and so on, but that is not the sense here. Sure, if it goes anywhere it should be to "" but that is kinda uncountable. You don't get seventeen different wild honeys in the market, you get seventeen different varieties of honey. What about if it was wild sugars as kinda an example, or wild asparaguses? Si Trew (talk) 01:00, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Wild honey per Lenticel. Jschnur (talk) 02:40, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - If this is being used by reliable source publications, from the United Nations no less, then does the fact that it's improper English really override everything else? CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 10:17, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Seamer (bowler) → Seam bowling (links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Seamer_(bowler)&action=history history] · [//tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews#start=2016-04-23&end=2016-05-22&project=en.wikipedia.org&pages=Seamer_(bowler) stats])     [ Closure:  ]

(Neelix) Not sure on this. I do know a bit about cricket but usually I am the bloke at the back doing the scoring cos I am bloody useless on the field. I think the terms "in-seamer" and "out-seamer" are ok essentially for spin bowling whether you are doing it clockwise or anticlockwise from the point of view of the bowler (obviously opposite point of view for the batsman) but we don't have those. Pinging WP:CRICKET if that exists. Is this a valid term or not? The target is fine I am just not sure about whether a bowler would ever be called a "seamer". Si Trew (talk) 20:22, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I've asked for help at WP:CRICKET. I note it is listed on the DAB at Seamer. It is probably OK I just probably didn't hear it ever omn Test Match Special and so forth and what with Neelix' tendency to make things up I doubt myself sometimes. It's not over yet. Since Neelix I believe is North American and that is not a game widely played there it adds to my doubt that this was created from any knowledge but from just sticking words together in arbitrary ways. We can take it out the DAB easily enough if it makes no sense. I mean, what is a seamer if not a male seamstress? It just seemed a bit kinda odd to me but is probably OK in the end. Si Trew (talk) 20:33, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * It might be better to do Seamer (cricket) instead of bowler since bowler is ambiguous. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 22:04, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I've taken this out at the DAB after discussion with User:Blue Square Thing at WT:CRICKET all in good faith. as AngusWOOF suggests, there is no need for this disambiguation now. Of course it can go but this is just clutter now.  I've asked for WP:CSD on it. Cross your fingers. (Especially if you're a cricket umpire trying to signal to a scorer namely me in a game of village cricket 50 yd over at the boundary how many bowling balls are left in an oeuvre that is a really helpful bit of semaphore to a man who could be mistaken for Mr Magoo and is trying to do double entry bookkeeping to keep track of both sides on one book while having a pint and trying to light a cigarette). Si Trew (talk) 22:21, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Honestly, if you've never done it, have a go at running a cricket book. You have to keep track of the overs, the insman, the outsman, the stupid umpire who signals to you from fifty yards away that it was four or six or two wides while you are writing it down and they love in village cricket to make their signals oh so subtle it is not as if they are a traffic policeman or anything waving their hands around no they love it to signal you four wides with a little waggle of their finger from fifty yards away and if you score two runs when they signalled one run oh you're the problem. Try it you'll love it. Really bloody difficult job. The rest of them just bash a ball about and run about a bit. If you call "Over (cricket)" when they have had six goes the umpire will tell you they have had five or they have had seven even though your book clearly shows that they have had six and has markings on it to mark off each time a bowl is made exactly for that purpose. As usual you become as I am here with the Neelix redirects the stool pigeon for everything that went wrong in the game and so on. I am used to it, I can take it. Si Trew (talk) 22:56, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * One thing and there is probably someone who has a lot more money than me probably said this better than I that the less power you have the more you will exercise it and village cricket umpires are like that. It's their one chance of power each weekend and you are always wrong. Barak Obama or David Cameron do not go around issuing parking tickets even though I imagine technically it is in their power to do so. The people with the least power execute it mercilessly. That is why security guards stop me in shops when I have paid for goods (I don't steal) because it is the one tiny little bit of power they have. Trew's inverse law of power to control ratio. I could probably write a PhD about that but the people who award the PhD theses have a lots of power but no control. Si Trew (talk) 23:07, 23 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep. Redirects are cheap. Seamer is a commonly used term for fast-medium bowlers who don't use pace, swing (and definitely not spin), but movement from the seam hitting the pitch (also called cutters). Just google "Glenn McGrath" seamer and see a heap of uses in Australian newspapers. I've fixed the incorrect definition on the Seamer page too.  Shouldn't use Seamer (cricket), as a pitch that encourages seam movement is also called a seamer - ie this NZ article. The-Pope (talk) 10:59, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. The relevant article is seam bowling and any term that relates to bowling with movement off the seam of the ball should redirect to that. The term is very common in Australia and NZ; it has become increasingly common in GB too in recent times. I think The-Pope has got this sorted so go with him. Jack | talk page 09:45, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - mentioned at seam bowling. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 03:07, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Ouch (neelix). The target is a DAB but "to chance" as a verb means usually to gamble (chanced one's arm and so forth) so now I am doubting when I boldly made chancing just R to verb rather than list it whether I should have done. I know in English there is no noun that cannot be verbed but is it the right place to put it? We can soon fix chancing if I were too hasty there. Si Trew (talk) 20:16, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - the dab lists luck, probability and randomness, each of which this verb form might refer to. WP:CHEAP. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:10, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Not sure on this one. e. e. cummings always wrote his name that way in lowercase but I appreciate that we cannot do that here on Wikipedia. (We can) but this listing as a middle name is probably a bit out of order. (Neelix redirect) Si Trew (talk) 02:45, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment. Stacks of nonsense poetry redirects coming up don't want to flood RfD or CSD. Sheesh sometimes I know what i am talking about. Si Trew (talk) 03:19, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Si Trew (talk) 11:45, 11 May 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * It is not true that E. E. Cummings “always wrote his name that way in lowercase”. According to the target article, claiming so is “stupid & childish”. Now about the redirect: Cummings went by the name Estlin, so it is reasonable for people to look him up by this name, so keep it. Gorobay (talk) 02:26, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Speedily withdrawn by nominator. Yep thanks for the second check. Yes of course he didn't "always write it that way" but he certainly always (I think) published in that way as e. e. cummings. It's fine. Si Trew (talk) 19:42, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Nope nope you cannot have this (Neelix redirect). Tetra is Greek for four and Quatra is Latin. Nobody in his right mind says Quatrameter this is rather nonsense. Si Trew (talk) 03:01, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Si Trew (talk) 04:25, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. Thanks for the musical interlude, Simon - I remember that song from Scouts as well :) Quatrameter doesn't seem like a plausible misspelling of Quartermaster to me though... delete this, it is meaningless. Thanks &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 09:07, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep- If any one of you had done a simple Google Search like I just did, you'd realize that plenty of reliable sources use this term to refer to a tetrameter. <font color="#039">Feed   <font color="#008000">back   20:02, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - oh, bad mistake on my part. For some reason I read "tetra" as 3. But of course it's not, it's 4. Same as "quatra". So, these are synonyms. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 20:22, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * hmmmmm There are perhaps enough hits to justify this, but OTOH I find that in German at least "quadrameter" means "square meter'. Mangoe (talk) 00:51, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. I almost voted delete but then found from Google Books that "quatrameter" is used as a synonym of "tetrameter" in books about poetry. Since that is a "correct" synonym, it takes priority over both "quartermeter" and "quadratmeter" which are misspellings. Deryck C. 16:42, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Steel1943  (talk) 19:36, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. The German don't come into it, this is English Wikipedia. Professional literary critics of poetry should know better, this is a hybrid word of Greek and Latin, some kind of made-up nonsense like television (smiles). I'm not convinced this is encylopaeidic. Take it to Wiktionary if you want but the word quite patently is tetrameter. Just because a few illiterary critics use it this way (I note the top four hits at the link given to Google Books are for children's books, but I should hate to suggest that is just hack writing) does not convince me this is in widespread use. I learned my Latin and Greek from the backs of matchboxes and even I know that quadrameter is just, well, it's just wrong. Si Trew (talk) 19:48, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Then again I am something rather of a prescriptive grammarian so I maybe am being a bit too narrow minded. Si Trew (talk) 19:53, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * But if a user were to make the (apparently common) mistake of blending Greek and Latin in this way, this is pretty likely to be the subject they're looking for, no? Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:12, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

(neelix redirect) not sure on this one. It is in the article in its history but might these days seem a bit pejorative as meaning "king town" or "king city". Probably perfectly OK but not 100% sure. Closing admin R to section please. Si Trew (talk) 11:17, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment. Technically I imagine this would be done as withdrawn by nominator or I can take WP:CSD with WP:A7 referring to this discussion and I imagine it would be deleted because admins at CSD tend to be more averse to the "neelix redirects" than I am but I think we need WP:CONSENSUS first hence my !vote. I didn't !vote the first time round I merely offered it for comment. Since I am daily being accused of taking Neelix redirects too hastily to CSD I should like this to stand that in fact I do not take every Neelix redirect to CSD wandering around with a blunderbuss taking potshots at every redirect.

 * The result of the discussion was delete. This is a marginal one.

 * Delete. Even if this were a Freemason's lodge it would not be notable on Wikipedia, and to redirect it simply to Freemasonry would be absurd. I go get my compass and sextant. but I think redirecting it in this way is a bit weird. I have no problems with anyone's beliefs but on wikipedia this makes no sense. WP:RFD nonsense.

It's on all sorts of shirts and bumper stickers and I suppose I figured in case someone wanted to look it up I'd at least point the person the the right direction. I guess my question though, is what made you decide to look it up and then go to the trouble of trying to get it deleted? PeRshGo (talk) 03:23, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment. I have a great friend, not seen him in many years, who is a Freemason in England. He insisted, every thursday as he went out dressed suited and booted with his star and compasses and so on that it is "not a secret society, it is a society of secrets". The distinction is valid. The Freemasons at least in England do an immense amount of good work for charities and so on but don't go round with a loudhailer bragging about it, as neither do I or neither should anyone, that is turning a good deed into a bad deed by trying to get some personal kinda recognition for something that should be done quietly. You might as well say that a confession is some kind of society of you and the Church in a society of secrets. At least in England, they are very open in what they do. The Monty Python stereotype of the left handed handshake and having to lift your left trouser leg, and so on, is exactly that, a stereotype, a funny one but it just is not like that. I am not a Freemason. I'm an apathist. What we at Wikipedia have to do here is to be absolutely neutral and welcome everybody. It says it right there, welcome to wikipedia, the free encylopedia that anyone can edit.

Delete because it makes no sense here with this combination of characters but that's all even if that is the name of the lodge that is a private matter for them and not encylopaeidic. But if you are going to start bashing Freemasons, try start bashing Jews, Gypsies, refugees, and anyone else you don't like first. Everyone's entitled to my own opinion. That line of argument really gets my goat. Si Trew (talk) 21:22, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - It's not a meme, because it predates memes. It's not a Lodge, either.   This is a slogan from an ad campaign back in the late 1990s/early 2000s (at the latest) in the US jurisdictions of Freemasonry only.  I don't know how it was originated, but it was widespread somehow, and was probably trying to be "hip" with the idea.  That being said, it does not appear to be either especially notable or successful despite its spread, so no one is going to really look for it at this point in time (20 years later), and it really just comes across as neologism at this point.  Also, to speak to Ivanvector's comment, the idea behind was to ask someone whom you knew was a Mason if one was interested as a starting point.  IMO, retargeting to joining requirements is really not in the spirit of what it was supposed to accomplish - it was an icebreaker.  Additionally, the hilariousness of the speculation in this discussion does point out the need for an WP:EXPERT sometimes. MSJapan (talk) 22:12, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * are you a Freemason? are you the expert? Any Freemasons here? as it happens
 * I can call spirits from the briny deep
 * And so can I, and so can any man
 * But will they come when you do call them?
 * That would be fine to have a WP:EXPERT but it is not obligatory for a Freemason to turn up at RfD to sort it out. As it happens, I have spent most of my evening over at a discussion on something else where patently there is an "expert" in your words who put me right and sorted it out and I am cleaning up the mess left by a stack of Neelix redirects. You call it laughable, I call it frankly abominable. To create redirects that you know nothing about is just well backwards run sentences until reels the mind. You try doing it,, you try taking stacks and stacks off of User:Anomie list/Neelix list/2 and trying to make head or tail of them. Try doing it for just about two hours and see if your head spins. Not because they were created in bad faith but just technically to list them, to sort them, to put them in good order for a CSD or an RfD or a keep, you try doing it then come back here and tell me it is laughable. Only the second personal insult I have had today so I am doing pretty well today. Si Trew (talk) 23:20, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * As it happens I probably have a new "expert" that will help out at RfD because of the intelligent and kind conversation we had this evening over one of the Neelix redirects which was only one and I have asked that expert whether I can call on his advice if I need it. (I think he his a he, but if not, I shall call on her advice, I didn't look at the user's page). What did you do? Si Trew (talk) 23:24, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Just because you have an issue somewhere else on WP doesn't entitle you to hurl abuse at an editor in an unrelated discussion. What you took as a personal insult wasn't even a reply to you, so I'd suggest you dial your attitude back. MSJapan (talk) 02:32, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I think you're thinking of Internet memes. This certainly looks like it would qualify as a meme. --BDD (talk) 14:33, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Delete? "Oreille De Souris" and "Oreille de Souris" were briefly the title of the article now at Faujasiopsis reticulata. This is a French common name that applies to several plants. The first Google hit I get for "oreille de souris" is a disambiguation page on the French Wikipedia (fr:Oreille de souris). Do we need to make a disambiguation page for a French language term on en.wikipedia, or can we just delete these? Plantdrew (talk) 18:45, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Ohhh bugger that's a tricky one. Mouse's eye literally. I don't speak botanic but I speak French. I think we can delete em, User:Plantdrew unless there is an equivalent WP:COMMONNAME in English. I give you a bonus: in Hungarian the common name for the daffodil and that lot of stuff is narcis (Narcissus). They have just about finished now around here we had a load of really nice ones this year and put them down to bed down ready for next year, in an old cast-iron bathtub that all the bulbs are in, tulips and whatnot. I know they have the botanic name in English but in Hungarian that is the common name. I think it derives or some books say from asphodel but I am not sure the etymology seems uncertain on that (in English/Welsh). Delete all. It makes no sense in English unless there is a WP:COMMONNAME in English for "Mouse Eye" and if there is it might refer to a completely different flower but I don't think there is. Si Trew (talk) 21:28, 23 May 2016 (UTC)


 * minor correction, "oreille" is "ear", not "eye". I can't find any evidence that there even is a common name of  F. reticulata in English (the IUCN redlist only lists "oreille de souris" as the French common name...)  And fr:wp don't have an article for F. reticulata at all, though their disambig page for oreille de souris does link to their page for mouse-ear hawkweed, which is apparently so called in both French and English.
 * To complicate the story further, some more searching reveals that there is Myosotis (the forget-me-not, the genus name is "mouse ear" in Greek); Cerastium (mouse-ear and mouse ear redirect there); the genus of mouse-eared bats (mouse-eared redirects there); the greater mouse-eared bat (a specific family within that genus, sometimes just called the "mouse eared bat"); mouse-ear cress; the redirect mouse-ear fungus to the dab page wood ear (based off of a translation of the Chinese common name, it appears); mouse-eared combretum; a dab page for mouse-ear tickseed.
 * We have, then, at minimum nine or ten other articles which might justly be redirects for "oreille de souris"; I suspect the best bets are mouse-ear hawkweed and Myosotis (the former having the common name "mouse ear" in both French and English; the latter meaning "mouse ear" and having that common name in French). There are so many plausible options, though, that I would just delete and have done with it... Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 09:11, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Hehehehe I dunno who just dropped a word in my shell-like but of course oreille is ear not eye. I cocked up sorry. mes yeux ne sont tres bien. Si Trew (talk) 09:27, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Right so we have lots of mouse eared things. I think best to delete them all as WP:RFOREIGN. Onh the backs of seed packets it will have the botanical name in latin/greek (that is kinda the point) then in your local language and stuff, it will not, unless you live in France or buy very cheap seeds that are out of date and shipped all over europe, have them in French. This is no help to an English-speaking audiences. Sorrry for cocking up saying eye not ear. mes oreillles et barbes my ears and whiskers as the dormouse said in Alice in Wonderland at the tea party. Of course a dormouse is not a mouse but well never mind. Si Trew (talk) 09:33, 24 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete I think. Not apparently a common name in English so this runs afoul of WP:RFOREIGN. There are some plants with common French names that are also common in English (c.f. fleur-de-lis) as we English like to borrow words, but I don't think this is one. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:14, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh in British English it is usually fleur-de-lys – I don't really know why the I/Y variation, I guess just imported at an earlier date (the word I mean not the flower). Isn't the Prince of Wales' um three feathers technically a fleur-de-lys? Orwell grumbles somewhere in his Diaries that nice english names like snapdragon were being replaced by Latin names like Antirrhinum (I can never spell that one – that was my third attempt) and forget-me-not with myositos (I think he actually spells it myosotis but I would need to really rack my memory to check) and that kind of thing. I can't think of too many more in French, oh hang on girasol um sunflower comes via French in an odd way because it "revolves around the sun" but I am not sure if we have that in English. Si Trew (talk) 00:41, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * We do but it goes to a kind of crystal not to the flower. Narcis (that is Narcissus means daffodil, asphodel in Hungarian). again, I don't really why they are so narcissistic but that is what it is. Again we do have Narcissus (plant) but they are not the little small ones but the well just normal ones. So these WP:COMMONNAMEs are rather um culture-specific which is exactly why not just on Wikipedia but in real life we have the Latin/Greek so we can be sure we aren't picking up a load of paradise fruit when we wanted paradicom (tomatoes).

Hmmm. Wrestlers (painting) went red but this one remains. It was declined at WP:CSD in good faith by User:Iridescent. It was Neelix who did the page move on 1 August 2015 which must have been like just one of his very last before the "discovery" of the Neelix redirects. Iridescent says essentially keep because it is linked from a lot of pages. I can see the logic in that but as it's (the page move being done by Neelix after creating the other one) I guess a bot will have moved a lot of links over to avoid double redirects, however, is it right? If it's wrong, regardless of the number of redlinks it might leave in its wake, it should go. I am not sure. I can see the sweeping up afterwards, were we to delete it, being a struggle but we should not have incorrect information either. We can probably somehow fix the links to the target I am aware of WP:NOTBROKEN but if this is broken that is what we have to do. I can do it. Si Trew (talk) 16:34, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Yes, of course it's correct. Practice is to disambiguate paintings by artist surname, but not all readers are familiar with that. The only question here is whether the Etty painting deserves to be consider primary for the term—some users are opposed to the idea sub-primary topics (i.e., primary for terms that include disambiguators), though official guidelines neither condone nor condemn it. If we wanted to change the status quo, retargeting to the dab at The Wrestler is the only appropriate action. --BDD (talk) 16:38, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep for the same reason I declined your speedy request. This was the redirect created by Neelix unilaterally deciding to retitle a Featured Article (disclaimer: written by me); as such, deleting this will create a sea of redlinks across dozens of pages. The Etty painting is |The_Wrestlers_(Luks) very clearly the primary target (a well-known painting by a well-known artist, reproductions of which are the best-selling poster and postcard from the gallery in which it's housed); the only reason the Luks article even exists is that Neelix had a tantrum regarding my showing insufficient respect to one of his pointless templates and deliberately set out to find another painting by that title so he could find a pretext to move the Etty article. As with so much of Neelix's oeuvre, the Luks article is a dubiously-sourced article on a painting of dubious notability (note that the references are all to general books and articles which mention it in passing, rather than books or articles which are actually about the painting in question), is not on public display, and is of no interest to readers whatsoever (as best I can tell, it has never generated pageviews in double figures, and most of the pageviews it does get can probably be accounted for by search engine crawlers). &#8209; Iridescent 16:55, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Target article's subject is a painting. No claim for ambiguity has yet to be established. Steel1943  (talk) 17:07, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Retarget to The Wrestler (a disambiguation page) since The Wrestlers (Luks) exists, rendering the disambiguator "painting" ambiguous. Steel1943  (talk) 17:09, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per Iridescent. (I'd asked him to respond to Steel1943's comment, but on rereading I see he already anticipated it.) Newyorkbrad (talk) 20:47, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Looking in to the primary topic issue further, I'm starting to lean more towards retarget. (I really only oppose deletion at this point.) None of my top three hits for were the Etty painting. Wrestlers (Eakins) is the first hit, and seems to be very common among the results. Luks comes in at #2, with another Wrestlers, this one by Alexandre Falguière, at #3. (Falguière's painting is mentioned and pictured on his works article, but doesn't have a standalone.)
 * I see Iridescent's page view stats, but I'd like to see evidence that they aren't merely a function of the one article being an FA and the other being relatively new. And to be clear, the Etty article is excellent, but article quality isn't really a primary topic criterion. --BDD (talk) 20:55, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Where are you getting "relatively new" from? They were created less than two months apart (Etty, Luks), when Neelix was in his "following me about being generally annoying" phase. To be clear, I don't have any strong objection to this being re-retargeted back to the dab page provided it isn't redlinked, but I find it vanishingly unlikely many readers are looking for the Luks—an average of four pageviews per day is little more than one would expect from search engine bots alone, and given the dubious nature of the sourcing on it I'm not even sure it would survive AFD. &#8209; Iridescent 21:11, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, honestly, I just assumed the Etty article was much older since it's in such good shape. All the more impressive as an FA, then. Still somewhat on the fence in terms of keep vs. retarget. --BDD (talk) 21:17, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

 * My issue us just that typing Star Wars: Blood... brings up both Star Wars: Bloodline and Star Wars: Bloodlines, with nothing to differentiate and guide a reader to the novel they are looking for. As the plural (Star Wars: Bloodlines) is not the proper name of the 2006 novel anyway and so is the less likely search destination, it seemed best to me to point the searcher to the 2016 novel, where there is a hatnote in the less likely case they are actually looking for the 2006 novel.— TAnthonyTalk 17:05, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - Besides this just not appearing helpful, practically-speaking, I'm not seeing actual scientists phrase things this way. I can find claims that doing a given X or Y "grows glaciers" directly from random chatter at places such as Google Plus, unclear quotes supposedly attributed to Prince Charles, idle banter over at Reddit, but nothing solid. It can be argued that this is an "R from ___" of some form, but this is not particularly helpful anyways, so what's the point of hashing that out even more? Best to just flush the redirect.

Propose to delete per WP:RFD #1: "The redirect page makes it unreasonably difficult for users to locate similarly named articles via the search engine." These redirects are for a player on the team, with no other mention in the article of them besides a sparse entry in a roster listing. Moreover, these college players are likely to appear on four different articles, one for each sports season they will be in college. The players do not meet WP:GNG. With limited information of them in each article, it makes more sense to have the term go through Wikipedia's search engine, showing all the mentions of the player to the reader, instead of redirecting to one arbitrary article.—Bagumba (talk) 05:52, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Doesn't seem to be a likely and useful redirect (but not so bad as to be R3?). Fei noh a  Talk 04:26, 23 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - seems like it's meant to be an inflammatory redirect. RA 0808  talkcontribs 05:01, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete inflammatory has little to do with whether we delete redirects (WP:RNEUTRAL: "Perceived lack of neutrality in redirect names is therefore not a sufficient reason for their deletion"), but as a nickname for the airport, this is entirely unattested in reliable sources or even unreliable ones, meaning that it will never properly be mentioned at the target and it's not possible for any Wikipedia article to discuss it. 210.6.254.106 (talk) 10:43, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh absolutely WP:RNEUTRAL but this backs into WP:NONSENSE WP:RFD. Delete. I would have combined with the one below but User:The Anome was so quick to delete that, I didn't really have a chance neither did User:RA0808 nor User:Feinoha to kinda agree to that combining. I ain't complaining I'm just saying I probably would have done if it weren't that the one below were speedied, but if that one goes this one must surely go. I think I actually nominated this for CSD on those grounds has that been declined or is it "stacking"? Si Trew (talk) 12:46, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Nope as I write it's still "stacking" at CSD. I referred it back to the conversation below in my CSD nomination. Oddly the DAB there don't we have stacking (aviation) or something not listed there, used in aviation slang when air traffic controllers "stack" aircraft to be clear for landing? No big deal but do we have anything we can add at that DAB for that? (Totally separate from this of course I was just punning it). Si Trew (talk) 12:49, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - seems like it's meant to be an inflammatory redirect. RA 0808  talkcontribs 05:00, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment I am never good for searching for these things but consensus was some time ago, I would say about eighteen months ago, that we don't keep kinda pejorative expressions for places unless they are very WP:RS. I listed one I think it was New York Shitty (and gave others examples on a similar vein like Filthadelphia and so on) that did have at least kinda marginal RS, used in a newspaper and so on, and those went even though I had RS for it. I'll try to find the previous discussion. I agree Delete that is I believe the consensus established at that conversastion. Si Trew (talk) 10:16, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Hmmmm it can't be those two exactly because they've never been created (so I can't try to pin the R conversation from the deletion history) but it was similar things in that line. Si Trew (talk) 10:18, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I have managed to block my own search now because all the WP search results (of which I get five results) all lead me back to this discussion today because I've mentioned them! I am sure some other editor will be able to find it. Maybe it was Philthadelphia (and I'll just compound the felony if I mentioned anyway you get the idea I am pretty sure we have consensus, the conversastion included List of disparaging place names and whether we should have those at all, you can imagine WP:NOTCENSORED and so forth but that if I remember we need a Pretty strong RS to keep them).
 * Incidentally I think we can safely combine this with the one above but since another editor has !voted on that would you mind if we do that? Si Trew (talk) 10:22, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

 * see Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 November 17, which closed as retarget to List of city nicknames in Pennsylvania where it is discussed with sources. (A new editor later removed it; I just restored the mention there.) Anyway, like that one, if this name Chicanery can be sourced, it should be retargeted somewhere which discusses the name; pointing it to the city isn't useful, since it provides the reader with no information about the name itself. Being inflammatory isn't a reason for deletion in and of itself, unless it's a WP:BLP violation or just a totally WP:MADEUP nickname that's never used in the real world; see WP:RNEUTRAL. 210.6.254.106 (talk) 10:28, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

has been creating a large number of redirects, some of which are of non-notable figures like Kerins and Pierce to very general articles.

Target is a disambiguation, with none of the items on that disambiguation page being idolize or any similar form. The disambiguation page is clearly an improper target, but I'm not sure what the target should be, or if there should be one at all. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 02:37, 23 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Was about to say "retarget to idolization" ... except that turns out to be another redirect to idol. I'm adding that, and idolize too. (Different creators, but same rationale applies.) Though I kinda think that whatever people are trying to find by searching for these terms (e.g. worship, cult image, teen idol) is more likely to be at this dab page than in search results for these words (and we could always add wikt:idolize to the wiktionary link that's already there). 210.6.254.106 (talk) 09:55, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete all with User:AngusWOOF, really these are not much more than a WP:DICDEF unless we take them to idolatry and if that's not a good target then we are really left with nothing except WP:XY per WP:RFD confusing. I was also wondering whether the last, idolization, is a word yet (it probably is although idolisation doesn't seem to be). Si Trew (talk) 16:47, 23 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment - To me, it looks like the beginning, original sin behind this big mess is that the topic of social "Idolization" (unlike "Idolatry" as a religious concept) seriously should have its own page. There's multiple reliable sources that look in a scientific-historical way into how X, Y, Z people go from being well-known to having philosophical/psychological significance; this repeating trend is completely notable. I would even maybe thinking of writing it myself at some future point. As for how to sort out the whole mess right now, well, I'm not sure. Maybe delete all of the redirects, allowing for starting from scratch, basically, and a page for "Idolization" being created? CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 16:56, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Yep, that makes sense. I don't know where you would start with Idolization because it would now I guess be kinda a back formation what with pop idol, teen idol and so on. I believe it is a real word and I deliberately do not check these things because I like to come with a certain naivety as if I were an intelligent but ignorant reader trying to find information, what should I expect to find? Not Idolatry probably. Yes Delete the whole lot and start again. Either that or I start going and coveting my neighbour's wife (she's a cutie). Si Trew (talk) 20:06, 23 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Create an article on Idolization and retarget the rest to it. <font style="background:gold">bd2412 T 01:48, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * That's easy to say User:BD2412. When you create the article I shall support you. Turning redirects into articles is wholly encouraged, says it right on the RFD instructions, absolutely nothing stopping you turning idolization into an article and it would disappear from RfD in two shakes of a lamb's tail. Or you want someone else to create the article? That must be WP:RS of course and so on. Si Trew (talk) 02:26, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Here is a start: Draft:Idolization. <font style="background:gold">bd2412 T 03:06, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Cracking, sorry User:BD2412 with going through the you-know-who redirects I sometimes have a short temper, I apologise. Thanks for making the draft, I think we should 'Move that over into main (I'm not worried about -ise or -ize) and then redirect whatever is sensible to that. Thanks for making the draft.
