 * Rothenburg displaced persons camp → Rothenburg (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

The disambiguation page at the target is not helpful. Scouting in displaced persons camps refers to "Rothenburg displaced persons camp, Rothenburg, a camp for Latvian displaced persons" with a 2 piped links to Rothenburg ob der Tauber but there's nothing in that article. I think if Enwiki has nothing to say about the subject, the redirect should be deleted. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:25, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

Delete. Neither Rodrick nor Roderick deal with "Roderickson", and there is no mention elsewhere in Enwiki. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:14, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. The nearest matches I see are Rodríguez (surname), which has the only mention of Rodericksson and Rodney Erickson, which is where Rod Erickson points. I don't think either of those are close enough to justify retargeting, though. - Eureka Lott 16:41, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

 * → WP:Bots (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Similarly to WP:S (currently also at RfD), this shortcut is ambiguous. It has a fair number of existing uses intending the bots page, but the majority appear to be for other topics, like WP:Bold, WP:Block or WP: B class – see this search (which excludes user talk pages: there are just over 4,000 of them that feature the shortcut as part of an alphabet soup ). – Uanfala (talk) 01:40, 21 April 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Jay (talk) 06:59, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Disambiguate per nom -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 02:44, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep massively used shortcut from time immemorial ( 4000 times without user talk page apparently, and it's used several thousand times on user talk pages too well over 4000 times, including user talk pages and no alphabet soup). &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 10:34, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment Uanfala mentions that the majority of those uses are not for the current target -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 10:46, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
 * See &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 11:21, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
 * There are 4,129 instances where this shortcut appears in an alphabet listing of all single-letter shortcuts (this had been used in one of the new user welcoming messages, that's why it's so widespread) – this usage is without context and is agnostic about the redirect's target. The uses where the shortcut is piped to the word "bot(s)" are 67, which is less than a quarter of the 361 total uses in a piped link . – Uanfala (talk) 12:39, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
 * The vast majority of which are clearly about bots if you look on where they are used. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:06, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm looking at how they're used and I'm not seeing that. There are, for example, 33 uses piped for "(be) bold", 14 for "blocking" , 8 for "bureaucrat" ... – Uanfala (talk) 14:16, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I've just found out that 169 out of the 361 total piped uses are for "Wikipedia bots", but then I realised that all but 2 of those are due to an ancient wording in the boilerplate message by Suggestbot . – Uanfala (talk) 13:45, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: At a skim of the first few pages, I see uses split between WP:Bots, WP:B-Class, and WP:Be bold, all piped to WP:B (in the latter two cases, incorrectly). But some of these are template transclusions, and as you go down the pages some are bot-posted messages (and the bot-posted messages are using WP:B correctly, to mean the bots page). So trying to look at a sample of 20 entries doesn't seem likely to lead to accurate results. If indeed the same bot mesage was posted to, say, 500 talk pages, that would be a dominating usage. I agree with the nom that WP:B is ambiguous and, in theory, should be a dab. But changing shortcuts with this many usages can lead to some old links no longer making sense as the authors intended (though the risk is less problematic if we're changing to a dab, vs usurping the shortcut for another use). At the same time, if there are a lot of errors in current usage anyway, then changing to a dab could actually make some uses clearer. Neutral myself, but food for thought.

 * Disambiguate or just delete and salt. It's way too vague, poorly used, the current usage is only debatedly its best use, and in reality it's hardly used, other than in the old template. --Dweller (talk) Old fashioned is the new thing! 08:42, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:IAR. It's used well over four thousand times and it would simply be a waste of editor time to go back and change it. If we were starting from time immemorial, then perhaps it would not have been the best location, but the current location works and we should ignore rules when they would harm our ability to keep Wikipedia well-maintained. — Mhawk10 (talk) 02:32, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Disambiguate Aside from rare cases like WP:N and WP:V, most single letters simply don't have any clear meaning to Wikipedia editors, as seen here by the numerous incoming links not intended for the current target. Using terse, unclear, and rare shortcuts wastes the time of your fellow editors, since they have to follow the shortcut to have any clue what you're trying to say; making this into a disambiguation page will hopefully discourage such wastes of time. (FWIW, a few years ago there was a similar discussion about WP:2, WP:4, WP:7, WP:8, and WP:9, which ended with a "retarget" outcome, though in that case the targets were much more confusing than the current case, and there didn't seem to be anything to disambiguate). 61.239.39.90 (talk) 04:06, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. If it is disambiguated, it can no longer be used as a shortcut. -- Tavix ( talk ) 04:11, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, if it's disambiguated, it can no longer be used in an incorrect or misleading way. A dab page is a clear improvement over a shortcut that for most of its users goes to the wrong page. – Uanfala (talk) 13:45, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, the current target is certainly not incorrect nor misleading. As for linking, any such use would be incorrect if it's disambiguated. A better solution for anyone who guesses wrong would be B (disambiguation), which can exist without disrupting its long-standing service as a shortcut. -- Tavix ( talk ) 14:07, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * You mean it's not incorrect for references to the "be bold" principle or to the block policy  to instead lead to the bots info page? – Uanfala (talk) 14:46, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * That signifies that the user is incorrect, not that the shortcut is incorrect. -- Tavix ( talk ) 14:47, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * But if so many users are "incorrect" that's a clear indication that the fault lies with the shortcut. – Uanfala (talk) 14:54, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I disagree that the problem is as widespread as you make it out to be, and I recognize that the proposed solution is much worse than the status quo. -- Tavix ( talk ) 14:58, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Where is your cut-off point though? What is the maximum percentage of incorrect uses that can be tolerated before we do something about a shortcut? – Uanfala (talk) 15:52, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I am in favor of retargeting to whichever page would be most sought when using the shortcut. If that happens to be Blocking policy, for example, I would support retargeting there. I will never support disambiguating a shortcut because then 100% of uses will be incorrect—anyone who uses the shortcut will not end up where they wanted to go and it will therefore cease to be useful as a shortcut. -- Tavix ( talk ) 16:01, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * So you'd be happy if the "incorrect" uses are twice the number of "correct" ones as long as there's no single "incorrect" target that gets more uses than the "correct" one? – Uanfala (talk) 16:07, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Absolutely. Doing otherwise would inconvenience those who do use the shortcut correctly. Disambiguating would inconvenience everyone. -- Tavix ( talk ) 16:29, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Disambiguate, so that people don't confuse other users, by linking to the wrong policy. Galobtter (pingó mió) 07:15, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Strong keep - Projectspace shortcuts are ambiguous by their very nature. This long-standing (i.e. since 2004) single letter redirect should not be tampered with through retargeting or made to lose its function through disambiguating. — Godsy (TALK<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;"> CONT ) 23:53, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - Longstanding redirect and a simple dab link at the top of WP:Bots can resolve the issue. I don't see a need to complicate it. --B (talk) 10:57, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Apparently this is the opening line of the second track listed, "Little April Shower". To me what comes to mind first is, the only thing referred to in the encyclopedia's voice as "drip drip drop".
