This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on January 25, 2019.

Ruh roh
 Closed discussion, see full discussion. Result was:
 * 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  . (non-admin closure) feminist (talk) 04:08, 2 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Ruh roh → Scooby-Doo (character) (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ruh_roh&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]


 * Ruh-roh → Scooby-Doo (character) (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ruh-roh&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Redirects that suffer from WP:XY ambiguity. While Scooby-Doo does say "Ruh roh", so does the earlier character of Astro from The Jetsons, on whom Scooby-Doo's mannerisms are based. If a reader has really been reduced to searching for cartoon characters by onomatopoeia,, then Wikipedia shouldn't assume that they know which one they want. 50.248.234.77 (talk) 22:50, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think this is adequately addressed at Scooby-Doo (character). Astro doesn't have his own article, but there is a link in the aforementioned section should that be the character sought. -- Tavix ( talk ) 22:26, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per Tavix; I think there's sufficient context in that section. I'll add that for someone who doesn't know where "ruh roh" is from or what it implies, it would indeed be helpful to understand the context they are (sadly!) missing.  That context is Scooby, not Astro, so the current target makes sense. ~  Amory  (u • t • c) 20:55, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was Retarget all to Soda  (speedy), considering that the nominator has essentially withdrawn their delete vote, and all other participants commented for this as well, so might as well go ahead and get this done.

Delete per WP:XY of Soft drink or (→ Carbonated water), both listed at the DAB at Soda. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.21.204.175 (talk • contribs) 20:20, 25 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, and WP:XY may also include the dab page. ComplexRational (talk) 20:26, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Looking at it again, retarget to Soda is perhaps a better idea, as that is what readers most likely are searching for. Agree with Tavix. ComplexRational (talk) 21:04, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Also redirect Soda drink to the same target. ComplexRational (talk) 23:54, 25 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Retarget to Soda per R from incomplete disambiguation. -- Tavix ( talk ) 20:28, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment: I have added Soda drink to this nomination. If possible, I would recommend confirming that the comments above also apply to Soda drink.  Steel1943  (talk) 23:40, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Trump pee tape

 * 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  . I think the previously discussed redirects are sufficiently different from this title that there's no need or even necessarily desire to (re)create them following this discussion.

I'll be changing the section to Trump–Russia_dossier. ~ Amory  (u • t • c) 20:50, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Trump pee tape → Trump–Russia dossier (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Trump_pee_tape&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Pee tape and similar redirects were deleted at Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 September 26 for BLP reasons. Putting "Trump" before pee tape does not seem to change the argument which is why I had previously requested speedy deletion per G4. 93 (talk) 17:51, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * The phrase "Trump pee tape" gets over 28,000 Google hits, and over 1,800 Google News hits, including substantial reporting on the subject from reliable sources postdating the previous deletion discussion, such as Vanity Fair ("Trump's Pee Tape Alibi Is Falling Apart") Vox ("The “pee tape” claim, explained", and GQ ("Vladimir Putin Had a Strange Answer When Asked About the Pee Tape"). Given the volume of coverage, this appears to meet the criteria to be addressed somewhere in the encyclopedia. Even if the real-world consensus is that the claim is false, we cover conspiracy theories and crypto-subjects where they are reported in reliable sources. bd2412  T 18:07, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * If Trump pee tape stands due to new information, I would think that all the previously deleted redirects should be recreated, unless that would require a deletion review first. 93 (talk) 18:33, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Not necessarily. Many of the specific terms or phrases addressed in that discussion (i.e., variations of "golden showergate") do not seem to appear as terms used for any purpose in the real world. bd2412  T 18:56, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * "Golden shower gate" has appeared "right in the headlines" of two IB Times articles. 93 (talk) 16:21, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Still many orders of magnitude less common than "pee tape". bd2412  T 20:17, 29 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete per Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2017_September_26 Has anything changed since that discussion? AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 19:07, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, as I just explained above, there has been continued substantial reporting on the topic by reliable sources. At this point, we can't pretend that the proposition does not exist, or is not noteworthy. bd2412  T 20:07, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Obviously takes readers where they want to go. Maybe better off at Trump–Russia dossier, but I understand defaulting to the broader place. --BDD (talk) 20:11, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep this and other variants. Frankly, I'm amazed that we're even having this discussion. As was already pointed out, there has been substantial use of these terms in many news outlets. I just googled "trump pee pee tape" and it turned up right in the headline in a slew of articles, from People Magazine and Vanity Fair to The Daily Beast, from the LA Times to Haaretz in Israel. Stephen Colbert uses the phrase at every opportunity on his nightly program on CBS, so on that basis alone it's the phrase that literally millions of viewers would think of.
 * As for the target, I would agree with BDD that Trump–Russia dossier makes more sense. Anomalous+0 (talk) 10:15, 26 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep, per BDD and Anomalous+0 above. -- The Anome (talk) 12:54, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Delete per WP:RDAB: capitalized disambiguator. UnitedStatesian (talk) 13:06, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Looks like there's a policy discussion going on here, so we can do with an extra week.
 * Keep: misinterpretation of the guidelines. The guideline only applies to capitalisation errors in the term disambiguation within parentheses, not to any disambiguator word: "the capitalization and spelling errors portion only applies if (x) is an error variation of "disambiguation"".  Lithopsian (talk) 14:17, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
 * This is not a guideline, but part of an essay that summarises – a bit unclearly on this particular point – the usual outcomes of RfD discussions. – Uanfala (talk) 16:01, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete as a WP:COSTLY redirect due to the use of capitalization in the redirect's disambiguator for a non-proper noun. Steel1943  (talk) 15:53, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep with over 700 hits last year this is an unquestionably useful redirect which is WP:CHEAP. The costly argument is erroneous: the maintenance required is zero, and it's no more or less likely to be vandalised than any other redirect so the actual cost to keeping the redirect is trivial at worst and far, far outweighed by its proven utility. . Thryduulf (talk) 01:11, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Delete Redirects with "TM" are undoubtedly WP:COSTLY if created for every company and product many companies and products with a Wikipedia article. Note: these are only ones created before July 2013; later creations will come in a subsequent nom. UnitedStatesian (talk) 15:08, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete: kill them all, very unlikely, very unnecessary. Lithopsian (talk) 15:09, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom.&middot; &middot; &middot; Peter Southwood (talk): 15:38, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. The nominator's rationale is faulty because these are not created for every company and product with a Wikipedia article. Despite several of them existing for over a decade, they have not encouraged WP:MASSCREATION of TM redirects (which would require a consensus to create systematically). I don't see how the few that exist are harmful. -- Tavix ( talk ) 15:42, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * WP:MASSCREATION applies only to Bots. It is clear that human editors are capable of creating, many, many, many of these.  There is no way for editors to monitor them (delete when the trademark is abandoned? What if the same trademark has many fields of use? Or belongs to one product in the US, but a different product in another jurisdiction?) And the contrary question is, what is the value of having them? (other than WP:ILIKEALLREDIRECTS) UnitedStatesian (talk) 15:51, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Behind every bot is a human who would have to decide to systematically create these. However, after all this time, no one has decided to do so. And if for whatever reason someone decides to mass create redirects, it can be dealt with then. Perhaps some redirects should not be created, but several editors found them useful enough to create, and I don't see the value Wikipedia gains from their deletion. -- Tavix ( talk ) 15:58, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete all, as it is unlikely that a reader would bother to include the trademark symbol in a text search. bd2412  T 21:25, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete all as implausible search terms. Rubbish computer (Talk: Contribs) 21:43, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment Some (many?) of these redirects were created as part of an article move. An example is WingTsun™. Such renames are supported by the Manual of Style. Deleting these redirects seems especially unobjectionable since they were not created intentionally anyway. Vectro (talk) 21:49, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete kill them all with fire. Sorry I created one of these in the past. -- Zac  Bowling  (user 01:09, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete all. Cannot be used in running text per Manual of Style/Trademarks, unlikely to be typed, and seems to do odd things to the search engine (an gives 0 results, a  times out). So should perhaps be added to WP:TSC. 94.21.204.175 (talk) 02:17, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Background: The Department of Transport (Victoria, 2008–13) was abolished. When a new Department of Transport (Victoria, 2019–) was created it turned out there were dozens of redirects to and from variations on the title.

This one, Department of Transport (Victoria, Australia), is now not linked from mainspace, provides no useful disambiguation, and merely adds to the confusion. Triptothecottage (talk) 01:38, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep . Department of Transport (formerly a disambiguation page) is a redirect to Department of transportation, and Victoria is a disambiguation page. So, in lieu of determining the best way to fixing the aforementioned disambiguation at this time, the nominated redirect should, in the least, be kept. Steel1943  (talk) 03:17, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see what happened now: the nominator turned Department of Transport (Victoria) into a disambiguation page/SIA on 2 December 2018. This choice of action is rather misleading to our readers since, as stated above ... "Department of Transport (formerly a disambiguation page) is a redirect to Department of transportation, and Victoria is a disambiguation page". With that being said, I'd say the best option is to either:
 * Restore this revision of "Department of Transport" and merge Department of Transport (Victoria) into that page (leaving the nominated redirect to retarget to Department of Transport as a double redirect)
 * Merge Department of Transport (Victoria) into Department of transportation (leaving the nominated redirect to retarget to Department of transportation as a double redirect) (preferred option)
 * ...So, I guess either way, the option will result in the redirect being retargeted due to becoming a double redirect. (IMO, a "delete" option for the nominated redirect is not helpful since it is a valid title since its current target is not sufficiently disambiguated; if anything at a minimum, Department of Transport (Victoria) should be moved to Department of Transport (Victoria, Australia) due to the disambiguator not being sufficiently disambiguated.) Steel1943  (talk) 04:51, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, at the minimum disregarding my previous statements, Keep as a R from unnecessary disambiguation if consensus is against my arguments to merge Department of Transport (Victoria) into another page. Steel1943  (talk) 22:18, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Your assertion of “the disambiguator not being sufficiently disambiguated is at odds with the policy principle at WP:TITLE that "titles should unambiguously define the topical scope of the article, but should be no more precise than that." There is no alternative use (current or potential future) for Department of Transport (Victoria), except in the context of the Australian state of Victoria; consequently, Department of Transport (Victoria, Australia) is overly precise and even more clunky that it already needs to be. Triptothecottage (talk) 22:03, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * If the target page is to remain, it should have the "(Victoria, Australia)" disambiguator. Leaving the disambiguator as "(Victoria)" makes readers assume that the page is about all "Victoria" subjects that may have a "Department of transport(ation)" (because, again, Victoria is a disambiguation page that lists multiple "Victoria" human settlements) including the first "Victoria" that could arguably come to mind to readers in the Western Hemisphere: Victoria, British Columbia. Steel1943  (talk) 22:06, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * There’s no logical reason Department of Transport (Victoria) couldn’t a disambiguation for any such entities, which is why deleting this redirect makes sense. Realistically, however, there is little to no prospect of such disambiguation being required: any related government entity in North America would doubtless be named the Department of Transportation, but as per the policy WP:NATURALDIS, that would be a natural disambiguation. Moreover, relatively few places listed at Victoria have government jurisdictions attached.
 * I’d add that is is extremely common practice for articles about Victoria, Australia to forego further disambiguation when none is necessary, even when it might be plausible by your standards: e.g. Government of Victoria, Parliament of Victoria, Rail transport in Victoria, to name but a few. This is not a WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument but rather an illustration of the precision section of WP:TITLE applied in this precise context.
 * I’d also like to note that has edited Victoria during this discussion to make Victoria, BC appear more prominently, which I think is inappropriate given the basis of his arguments here. The layout of the dab page is not germane to this RfD discussion, but I do not believe Victoria, BC – a metropolitan area, population 350,000 – is self-evidently as significant a topic as Victoria, Australia – a sovereign polity of 6 million people – simply because it is North American. Triptothecottage (talk) 02:16, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, I did edit Victoria because |Victoria_(Australia) it's blatantly not clear which one has more primary than the other per pageviews and had absolutely nothing to do with where either one is located, considering that I did not make that claim in my edit (which interesting enough seemed to be disregarded as I even made mention of the pageviews in my aforementioned edit.) Either way, your previous comment seems to be a total strawman/red herring given Victoria is not directly related to the fate of this nominated redirect, and in fact, none of your aforementioned comment has yet to disputed, in even the least, my "Keep as a R from unnecessary disambiguation" comment. Steel1943  (talk) 02:57, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Not a straw man or a red herring – I was not critiquing your argument for keeping this redirect on the basis of your character or trying to distract from the topic at hand. I was merely observing your logic here is thus: There are other places called Victoria that might have a DOT, and one of them, Victoria BC, is particularly signficant, and therefore this disambiguation might be useful. There was no urgent need to refactor Victoria – it could have waited until after this discussion – and so making the edit could be seen as POINTy behaviour in an attempt to strengthen the second premise of your argument.
 * I won’t press the issue any further though, and I will instead say that I did show it was common practice to apply the article title precision policy to Victoria articles by foregoing additional disambiguation when none is needed. That is a direct response to your “R from unnecessary dab” argument – just because we can and because a template exists for the situation doesn’t mean we should in this case.
 * However, my continuing position is that this redirect is not useful, potentially confusing, and should thus be deleted. Every other bridge can be crossed if and when we ever come to it. Triptothecottage (talk) 08:38, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your clarification, and my apologies on the misunderstanding. Steel1943  (talk) 00:10, 13 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete. Disused disambiguation with no links from main namespace. --Bsherr (talk) 03:35, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Steel1943 is right that we shouldn't have a disambiguation page called "Department of Transport (Victoria)" if there's one called Department of Transport or Department of Transport (disambiguation). But it only gets more complicated from there. Neither Department of Transport nor its target, Department of transportation, are disambiguation pages. The target can certainly act like one, though, which certainly makes me question the utility of a separate page for Victoria or any other jurisdiction, even apart from whether or not it has an ambiguous name.
 * User:BD2412 tagged Department of Transport (Victoria) as a set-index article rather than a disambiguation page "per WP:DABCONCEPT", and while he is undoubtedly one of our expert editors on disambiguation, I think he is wrong this time. There are, in fact, no real-world entities (as opposed to Wikipedia pages) called either "Department of Transport (Victoria)" or "Department of Transport (Victoria, Australia)", the parentheticals being our disambiguation aids. Indeed, WP:DABCONCEPT begins "If the primary meaning of a term proposed for disambiguation is a broad concept or type of thing that is capable of being described in an article", but we're fully past proposing disambiguation here!
 * To try to be of some help to the poor closer of this admittedly legalistic rant, the redirect in question should be kept as things stand, but it's far from clear to me that the target page should not be changed. --BDD (talk) 17:27, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * The situation, in a nutshell, is that there have been several entities in Victoria that have, for discrete periods, exercised governmental authority over transportation. There is nothing ambiguous here. There is merely a chronology. bd2412  T 17:35, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * The topic, though, is something like Transport in Victoria, isn't it? The departments aren't currently linked from Victoria (Australia), but perhaps they should be, and that could be a natural target. And aren't SIAs and CONCEPTDAB articles different things? --BDD (talk) 18:28, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * No, the topic is the government department responsible for transport in Victoria. In Australia, following an election, it's common for the incoming government to rearrange the departments. For example, after the 2014 Victorian election, the Department of Health and the Department of Human Services were merged to make the Department of Health and Human Services (Victoria). What's happened here is that there was a Department of Transport from 1992 to 1996 (article to come one day when I get around to it), which merged into a Department of Infrastructure until 2008, then spun out again into Department of Transport (Victoria, 2008–13), then merged into the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources, then demerged again as Department of Transport (Victoria, 2019–). When this happens, we usually create a new article for each iteration as it doesn't make any sense whatsoever to talk about a continuing entirety. For example, at the federal level, there's Department of Transport (1930–32), Department of Transport (1941–50), Department of Transport (1972–82), Department of Transport (1983–87), and Department of Transport (1993–96). Plus there's Transport for Victoria which is a semi-autonomous statutory office that was occasionally referred to in the press as the "state Transport Department" between 2016 and 2018 when it was under DEDJTR. I agree that this is a case for a dab page as someone looking for "department of transport victoria" could plausibly be looking for any of the three entities which are described thus. I also get that it's horrendously confusing, but ultimately the point is that the redirect we're discussing here only adds to the confusion because the further disambiguation is unnecessary. Triptothecottage (talk) 22:27, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * And just to add to the rationale that this is a disambiguation not a chronology: the 92–96 entity, the 08-13 entity and the 19– entity are and were referred to officially and commonly called simply the Department of Transport without disambiguation. Triptothecottage (talk) 23:55, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
 * You are missing the point. All of these are subtopics of the governance of transportation in Victoria. They are black-letter dabconcept topics per both WP:DABCONGOV and WP:DABCONGEO. bd2412  T 22:07, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Deryck C. 14:05, 25 January 2019 (UTC) It’s occurred to me that the presence of Transport for Victoria is probably clouding the issue here. If that was not there, it would clearly not be a concept dab, especially with the addition of the 1992–96 Department of Transport: it’d be a plain and simple name disambiguation.

Making this a concept dab is a complete misunderstanding of the topic. There are dozens of agencies which have or had responsibility for transport in Victoria, and the vast majority don’t belong in an article by this title. A Department is a specific type of government agency. Triptothecottage (talk) 04:00, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Can a complete article be written on all agencies that "have or had responsibility for transport in Victoria" without mentioning these three? bd2412  T 04:04, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
 * If I was writing Transport in Victoria or History of transport in Victoria, sure, I'd mention them, among dozens of others. As I said, I'm more than happy to remove Transport for Victoria as I wouldn't propose including Department of Infrastructure or Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources. I don't see what this has to do with anything on a redirect policy basis and especially not for the redirect in question. There are/were three distinct entities in Victoria which share the name "Department of Transport", which need to be individually disambiguated from each other and from other agencies across the world which also share the name. For that reason, Department of Transport (Victoria) could conceivably refer to any of these three agencies. But it wouldn't plausibly refer to other sub-departmental agencies. Triptothecottage (talk) 05:47, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
 * A disambiguation page is merely a navigational device that we use when there is no other option for navigation. In this case, the relationship between the topic allows for navigation to be accomplished through the article covering all three topics at their next higher level of abstraction. bd2412  T 14:03, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
 * That’s a surprising and ridiculous outcome, directing a reader looking for something called the “Department of Transport” in a Victorian context to an article linking to dozens of agencies, only three of which have actually been known as the Department of Transport. Triptothecottage (talk) 03:13, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Given the variety of names that jurisdictions give to their agencies, don't you think that a person searching for the "Department of Transport" in "Victoria" is interested in finding out about the department in Victoria that is responsible for transport, even if the name of that department happens to be something like "Department of Infrastructure" or "Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources"? bd2412  T 04:40, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I can see your point in one sense, but I don't think it's a useful argument because it doesn't work in reverse: that is, we don't assume that someone looking for "Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources]] is looking for all departments that at some point had charge of those things. There's also plenty of subject matter very close to this where we don't make that assumption - for example, Public Transport Victoria (someone could be looking for Transport in Melbourne) or Victorian Railways (someone could be looking for Rail transport in Victoria).
 * But is any of this germane to this RFD about Department of Transport (Victoria, Australia)? Yes, there's a big mess to be sorted out here, but perhaps we can refocus on this one redirect that provides nothing useful to the shemozzle. Triptothecottage (talk) 11:55, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Why would it need to work in reverse? The phrase "Department of Transport" is a basic generic combination, and consistent with other jurisdictions (Department of Transport (Western Australia), Department of Transport (South Africa); and numerous "Ministry of Transport" or "Department of Transportation" titles). In short, a reader looking for information about the department with authority over transportation is unlikely to know or even care what the specific variations in this department's formal title are or have been, particularly where departments have been temporarily merged under lengthy titles; they are going to want to know about how the jurisdiction in question governs transport. We need to inform them, for example, that "[i]n Australia, following an election, it's common for the incoming government to rearrange the departments" (if this can be cited to a source). Where is the single page that readers can go to in order to be informed of this tendency for the department with authority over this area to be renamed and reorganized, and to see just how this has transpired over the years? bd2412  T 14:26, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

It's becoming increasingly obvious that this RFD is akin to trying to patch a geological fault line with some wallpaper and a touch of Selleys No More Gaps. The problems begin right at the top with Ministry of Transport and Department of transportation both acting as high-level articles describing the same concept, with a failed merge in the middle of last year. Is the best next step to take to draft an RFC with a broader scope to get consensus on how to treat this topic? Would any of you be able to help with that? Obviously that would involve withdrawing this nom. Triptothecottage (talk) 05:16, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Hidden Figures is a movie, Fences is a completely unrelated movie yet my previous attempts to compromise by distinguishing the two were removed without explanation. Can we please just delete this already? People know “Hidden Fences” is not the movie. Trillfendi (talk) 23:25, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * High-profile gaffes may make likely search terms. See Adele Dazeem (RfD). We could debate at length the role of racism in the original gaffe, but I don't at all think that keeping this would be racist on our part. Apparently, someone made a play of Hidden Fences, though the playwright is not currently notable. I'm not saying keep or delete at this point—just "not so fast". --BDD (talk) 15:17, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment this really depends on whether the gaffe  was discussed in either of the film's articles or the 74th Golden Globe Awards event article.  If there's a paragraph about it, then point there, otherwise this is WP:XY and you might as well redirect to Pet fence which talks about invisible fences. Tobi (over at Draft:Tobi (musician)) has a song called Hidden Fences.   AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 03:02, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete I think we're left with this being WP:XY with Fences. Note that there's also mention of an art exhibit by this name at Genevieve Gaignard. Search results should work here. --BDD (talk) 17:16, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Redirects to category space are strongly discouraged, and these redirects would be better targeted at a mainspace article such as Automotive aftermarket, since the category is nowhere near comprehensive and thus not that useful as a list.

The paragraph to which this redirect points has been deleted, leaving this as a redirect to nowhere. The "law" is nowhere mentioned in the current text of the article, so that the redirect is misleading.

This redirect interferes with acceptance of Draft:Lewis' law, which is unrelated. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:20, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

Request redirect be deleted.

 * User:Steel1943 - capitalization corrected - isn't case sensitivity annoying? Robert McClenon (talk) 03:27, 11 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep for now. I have restored a mention of (Helen) Lewis's Law to Helen Lewis (journalist). When Draft:Lewis' law is ready it should be moved to Lewis's law (the title should conform to MOS:POSS) and there should be a hatnote at the new article along the lines of . Lewis' law should then be retargeted to Lewis's law. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:27, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Objection: Draft:Lewis' law should be moved to Lewis' law, because in the literature, it is often termed Lewis law or Lewis' law (since a few decades) and more rarely Lewis's law. Cf. https://scholar.google.ch/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22lewis+law%22&btnG= -Growthandform (talk) 16:38, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter that there is inconsistency elsewhere between Lewis, Lewis' and Lewis's, or what the most popular form is elsewhere. Wikipedia has a Manual of Style which we use. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:04, 13 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment - The real question is whether the sense referring to Helen Lewis is sufficiently notable to require an entry. If so, disambiguation is required, so that the sense referring to Frederic Lewis can be accepted.  We can't distinguish the two senses based on spelling; they are both possessive forms of the same surname with different people.  If the sense referring to Helen Lewis is not considered sufficiently notable for an entry in the article, then a redirect is inappropriate.  Robert McClenon (talk) 00:55, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm saying it is notable, and that disambiguation will be available in due course with the hatnote I propose above. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:04, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete under the condition that promotes Draft:Lewis' law and adds a hatnote to Helen Lewis (journalist) on that article. This appears to be a good-faith request and I see no good reason to object to it. feminist (talk) 16:57, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
