 * June 31st → June (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Fictional date which does not appear at target article. I suggest deletion or a retarget to the film 31 June, where June 31 currently targets. CycloneYoris talk! 23:58, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Retarget to List of non-standard dates: I do very much like Cyclone's suggestion as an alternative, but in this article it lists both that 31 June the movie and another piece of media which uses said date. I think that page allows for a bit more room for expansion while still easily linking the reader to 31 June. TartarTorte 00:01, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree, and honestly that seems to be a better target than the film. CycloneYoris talk! 00:21, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Trans fag → Transgender sexuality (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Per WP:RFD point #3 this is offensive and abusive and is an implausible search term. The term is homophobic and transphobic. Artemis Andromeda (talk) 21:36, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: Agree with this nom, offensive term Josey Wales Parley 21:57, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete, clearly abusive. The best case for this is a typo for trans flag, but that's clearly not the intent and in this case it's more helpful to delete than to retarget. – Scyrme (talk) 22:23, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: Extremely offensive, very unlikely search term, absolutely no reason for it to exist in any capacity. <b style="color: #ea5a5a;">Tartar</b>Torte 23:57, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, and being a trans girl I'm baffled that this redirect exists. Liliana UwU  (talk / contribs) 23:59, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - I suspect this is tied to 4chan, as "fag" doesn't quite have the negative connotation there as it does outside of it, especially if it's used as a suffix. Still, this is something that anyone not in the know on would find offensive. —<i style="color: #1E90FF;">Jéské Couriano</i>  v^&lowbar;^v  a little blue Bori 00:32, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete If I had a guess this is somehow related to the person discussed at Kiwi Farms. Regardless, though, it's not a useful redirect if it's not discussed there. The creator's other edits are somewhat suspicious, too, and I have a hunch they're a sock of whichever LTA was behind, but not really enough evidence to start a SPI. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 21:04, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Spying kettle → Kettle (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

This was created as "spying kettle" when there was a section on the page at the time, ; however, this has since been removed. It was largely based on seemingly sensationalist stories about how Chinese houseware was found in St Petersburg in 2013 to have spyware, but that is not mentioned in the article. <b style="color: #ea5a5a;">Tartar</b>Torte 19:13, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

 * The Hell of Waters → Niagara Falls (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

I personally can't find anything that ties this phrase to Niagara Falls in doing some different searches. It is not mentioned anywhere on the page. <b style="color: #ea5a5a;">Tartar</b>Torte 18:48, 7 October 2022 (UTC)


 * The phrase was apparently used by Lord Byron and Fitz Hugh Ludlow, and the latter seems to have used it in reference to Niagara, and specifically his nightmares about the falls. He doesn't really use it as a synonym for Niagara Falls (or, at least, that's not how I read it), so the redirect is a stretch. – Scyrme (talk) 19:05, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete unless this term is mentioned somewhere it's not a useful redirect. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 21:55, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per . The phrase does have some history associated with the falls, but it's relatively obscure, and the redirect is too vague to be useful to the average reader. It also isn't mentioned at the target article, as brought up in the nom. Clover moss  (talk) 07:25, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete - This is process for the sake of process. Nothing links to the old, inaccurate title. Reaper Eternal (talk) 16:39, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Not at all. It's a redirect from a title that the article had been at for 16 years. Such redirects are often kept even if inaccurate, and that's exactly why R from incorrect name exists. If I had agreed with the reason for deletion I wouldn't have bothered with this. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 16:44, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

 * WTK → Java Platform, Micro Edition (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Redirect (originally pointing to Sun Java Wireless Toolkit, which was redirected to the current target) was speedy deleted by User:Deb out of process. Procedurally recreating and listing at RfD. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 16:32, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Disambig and apply a whale to Deb. A 1 minute search has found Apache Pivot, a Polish publication prominently mentioned at Tadeusz Mazowiecki, multiple references to Willie the Kid (although it doesn't appear in that article), a former railway mentioned at Austrian Society for Railway History, Noatak Airport, Watakataui language and there are probably other uses. Thryduulf (talk) 16:55, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Another use is We the Kings, which was mentioned in a hatnote at the original target before it was redirected. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 16:56, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't remember this but I'm somewhat confused by this discussion. How is "WTK" an appropriate redirect for Sun Java Wireless Toolkit or Java Platform, Micro Edition? Had it been a redirect to Apache Pivot, or even Widget toolkit, it might have made sense. Why not just explain and ask me to restore it, especially if you felt it should have been a disambiguation page anyway? Deb (talk) 17:28, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * "WTK" was clearly (ignoring possible other uses) a plausible redirect to Sun Java Wireless Toolkit because the article started with "The Sun Java Wireless Toolkit (WTK ..."; Java Platform, Micro Edition is the target that it would have had if you hadn't deleted it due to double redirect fixing bots.Why not just explain and ask me to restore it -> I know have a tendency to prefer formal processes like RfD over informal discussions even when they are sometimes not ideal, but the net result would have been worse off if I had done so since Thryduulf and others would not have had a chance to opine. especially if you felt it should have been a disambiguation page anyway -> I never did, I'm not the same person as Thryduulf. Now, I do agree it should be disambiguated, but that idea had not entered my mind at the time. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 18:03, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * As far as preferring "formal processes like RfD over informal discussions" goes, take a look at Dispute_resolution. I don't understand the statement that it was "clearly a plausible redirect" to that article, when the initials can apparently refer to several other products. Deb (talk) 13:02, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Disambiguate: draft provided. Improvements welcome, but "WTK" must be mentioned in each target article, which it isn't at Java Platform, Micro Edition. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 15:00, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

No mention of "field" at the target, delete unless a justification can be provided. signed,Rosguill talk 15:14, 7 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Charitably, this redirect could be aiming for instruments used in field recording. However, my first thought when reading "field instruments" was tools used in fieldwork. Google provides a few similar results (such as this one and this), but most of the hits actually relate to industrial automation; various automated valves and sensors (such as this result and this). I think retargeting or disambiguation might be preferable to deletion here. – Scyrme (talk) 16:15, 7 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Retarget to field work or disambiguate. I think instruments used in field work is the primary topic here, except that instruments are barely discussed in that article. Disambiguate if other specific uses can be identified and there is content to point to, but the status quo is clearly inadequate. Mdewman6 (talk) 20:57, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. I am persuaded by Shhh's arguments that we just don't have a good place to point this at the moment. Mdewman6 (talk) 20:28, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment. My guess is that the connection between redirect and target is instruments used by marching bands and similar as opposed to e.g. orchestras, but that doesn't make it a good redirect. I don't have an opinion currently about retargetting to fieldwork. Thryduulf (talk) 21:43, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Field drums and the like? Hadn't thought of that, but it makes sense. Probably more likely than my guess. – Scyrme (talk) 22:09, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, marching band instruments (beyond drums, there are brass instruments specifically designed for marching) is certainly plausible, but far from the primary topic, and likewise not adequately described at the target and therefore potentially astonishing. Completely reasonable search term, but it seems like we don't have good coverage of the term's various meanings. Mdewman6 (talk) 22:59, 7 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete. This is vague and ambiguous, and Field instrument doesn't exist. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 15:02, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Ambiguity isn't a good reason to delete, particularly when there seems to be a primary topic, and the singular could easily be created.
 * Field instrumentation in field research, applied sciences, and industrial automation is definitely a notable topic; it's disappointing there doesn't seem to be proper coverage anywhere to point to. (Field instrumentation also doesn't exist, unfortunately.) A retarget to field research with an r with possibilities might encourage content addition. – Scyrme (talk) 23:54, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Reason #1: "The redirect page makes it unreasonably difficult for users to locate similarly named articles via the search engine"; Reason #2: "The redirect might cause confusion." Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:20, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * In this case there are no similarly named articles so #1 doesn't apply. I don't think most people searching for this term would be confused by being sent to field research, but some might so fair enough. – Scyrme (talk) 14:03, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. Ambiguity is a great reason to delete if there's no way to remove the ambiguity; Wikipedia's search function will be the best option in such a case. Also, a "field instrument" could refer to more that just tools used in field work, especially considering the aforementioned article is about a subject other than tools used in fields in regards to the farming concept (and I'm surprised that I could not find neither an article nor a redirect for fields in regards to farming.)

 * Can you provide some of such definitions for evaluation here? Please be more specific 85.238.103.38 (talk) 14:44, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: While Sevastopol is rightfully in Ukraine, it's been annexed by Russia since 2014. Additionally, it was part of the Russian empire from the 18th Century – 20th Century, so it's not a wholly unreasonable search term, even if the city is currently, by international law, absolutely part of Ukraine. <b style="color: #ea5a5a;">Tartar</b>Torte 13:36, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Following your logic of historical connections it's good to create Sevastopol, Greece redirect to the same article as this city's territory have Greek origins and was populated by ancient greeks. BUt that obviously would create much more mess to Wikipedia search and reading. Please read carefully point 1 of WP:RDELETE: "The redirect page makes it unreasonably difficult for users to locate similarly named articles via the search engine" that clearly happens here. 85.238.103.38 (talk) 14:38, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * What similarly named article is this making it harder for the user to find? There does not seem to be any location in Russia that goes by the name Sevastopol, so I don't think this presents any ambiguity. With regards to the Greek point, I'll concede the argument related to the Russian Empire isn't a particularly strong one compared to the Russian occupation. I would like to say that my argument for keeping this is in no way supportive of the horrific Russian occupation. I'm only arguing to keep in that others might find it useful. <b style="color: #ea5a5a;">Tartar</b>Torte 14:48, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Occupation does not make city russian, it's just a ukrainian city under occupation - no more no less. About interferring - it clearly intereferes to above mentioned (btw linked by a couple of articles) redirect confusing both reader/editor's perception about what to read/link to if needed. 85.238.103.38 (talk) 15:04, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Greece and Russia aren't analogous situations in this case; "Greece" did not exist as a singular polity when the nearby Greek colony was founded, and the Greek colonists did not give the city the name "Sebastopolis". In-fact, as the article makes clear in, the name does not derive from antiquity and originated with the Russian Empire wherein the modern city was founded. The Greek settlement has its own article under its historic name, Chersonesus. The ancient settlement had been abandoned for centuries before the modern city was founded, whereas the modern city has been continuously inhabited since it's establishment in the Russian Empire. That comparison is just a bad argument. – Scyrme (talk) 15:23, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Dispute there was not about when was city found but about territory "claiming" based on historical events. And if follow such logic - greeks was obviously much earlier there tnen anyone else. However there's no such dispute anymore as Torte cancelled his statement about it (see above). I agree with you claiming territory based on historical events is really a bad argument, but you still doing it )) If that's about Russian Empire city - then why not rename that redirect to exact Sevastopol, Russian Empire - that will really not confuse nor readers nor editors as it's obvious that for now Russian Empire does not exist when Ukraine do. So I really don't understand what your comment about here 85.238.103.38 (talk) 16:18, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Torte didn't make any argument about claiming the city for any particular country, they only acknowledged a historical fact that makes the search "Sevastopol, Russia" plausible, meaning that someone might have an understandable reason to search for that term. Since Sevastopol, Russia and Sevastopol, Russian Empire would point to the same article, it doesn't matter that the first one is ambiguous since the redirect still sends people to the intended article. It would only cause a problem if there was a separate article for the history of the city. Redirects don't have to unambiguous, so long as their target resolves any ambiguity.
 * The point of my comment was that your argument about the Greek colony does not make sense because the situation is not the same. The arguments for "Sevastopol, Russia" can't even apply to "Sevastopol, Greece" because there has never been as a "Sevastopol, Greece" (or even a "Sebastopolis, Greece") located in what is now Crimea. – Scyrme (talk) 17:10, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Difference between Russia and Russian Empire is huge. First one - is present country, second one - is former, already non-existent one. First one interferes with Ukraine as same time period (nowadays') country and, that way, confuses a reader. Also there's clearly told 'For example, if the user searches for "New Articles", and is redirected to a disambiguation page for "Articles", it would take much longer to get to the newly added articles on Wikipedia.' as one of the main reason to delete a redirect, which clearly corresponds to pair of Sevastopol, Russia (not only misleading, but much longer named) and Sevastopol. 85.238.103.38 (talk) 18:40, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. According to Russia, Stevastopol is in Russia so this is a plausible search term - it is the job of redirects to take people to the article they are looking for, which in this case is unambiguous. It is the job of the article to present the various competing claims and explain that the international consensus is that the city is in Ukraine. Thryduulf (talk) 16:59, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Isn't Sevastopol much easier search term? ))) As of other your comment, I have to note your logic is a bit faulty, as that redirect by eve it's existence denies Sevastopol as Ukrainian city. So your comment is quite ambiguous and contradictory to itself (something like "Sevastopol is Ukraine, but it's good that redirect, telling Sevastopol is Russia exists"). What exactly you meant is unknown. 85.238.103.38 (talk) 18:13, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. Seems to be a pretty standard precedence for contested territories and the cities contained within. For example, there's a region that India and China have disputed claims over, but I can't remember what that is named at the moment. Steel1943  (talk) 17:40, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Can you provide some such example? Because what I see is there's NO ANY redirect named Falkland Islands, Argentina despite it exactly contested territory between Great Britain and Argentina for decades. Do you see any? Please confirm your views. As one as please provide examples about India and China contested territory having redirects named owned by both countries. Can you confirm your opinion with some exact verifiable reason? 85.238.103.38 (talk) 18:13, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * ...Not responding directly to that somewhat "red herring" inquiry as that redirect should probably be created based on the now-established plausibility above. Also, the territory I was mentioning above is Arunachal Pradesh. Long story short, if these redirects don't exist, they probably should be created; redirects don't have to conform to one political view over another, but rather aim to serve all readers regardless in what context they search for their topics and the search term (redirect) is, in one way or fashion, correct at the present time (as long as they don't violate WP:G10 and/or WP:G11, and this nominated redirect sure doesn't.) Steel1943  (talk) 18:22, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Side note, but Falkland Island, Argentina probably doesn't need to be created because Argentinian claims also consistently apply a different name: Las Malvinas. The latter term is widely attested in English-language sources that note the dispute. The alternative name already is a redirect to Falkland Islands, so even this example follows the precedent. – Scyrme (talk) 18:41, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * So what? As it looks like it's just spanish name of same islands. Nobody dispute about Sevastopol spelling here as it same both on Ukrainian and Russian. However there's no any redirect named Las Malvinas, Argentina that clearly would be similar to current redirect example. as one as no any Arunachal Pradesh, China or Alaska, Russia redirects. Probably that's because of written at WP:RNEUTRAL about redirect have to be neutral until it's quite needed but still verifiable, but discussed redirect still doesn't have any of links to it, so it does not look verifiable based on WP:RS, that way have not to exist at Wikipedia. 85.238.103.38 (talk) 19:12, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep as TV stations differ from TV networks. As TNT (TV station) is the only "TV station" with this name, it is more unlikely that someone would use this specific redirect to reach the American network or Russian channel, and even if a reader did, there is a hatnote that directs them to the disambiguation page.

 * Only when somebody knows the distinction between an station, a channel and a network and knows which one the one they are looking for is.

Thryduulf (talk) 10:57, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
 * If the network is composed of a single station on a single channel, then they are equivalent.

 * Retarget to TNT (disambiguation): Similar to thryduulf, I cannot off the top of my head differentiate between a network and a station. It seems that it's rather probable people are using this redirect currently who are trying to visit TNT (American TV network) or TNT (Russian TV channel) and ending up at an Australian one instead. <b style="color: #ea5a5a;">Tartar</b>Torte 16:13, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * TV stations and television networks are different because TV stations do have a callsign like TNT while TV networks don’t. That’s the reason why I would keep this redirect. Bassie f (talk) 20:21, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * That is correct, but I would argue in common parlance, at least in the United States (relevant due to TNT (American TV network), it seems the two are largely used interchangeably. I think that it's expecting the reader to understand inherently a lot about what differentiates a network from a station from a channel, and for a redirect I think that might be a bit much to ask, or at least from my view, as someone who uses the three largely interchangeably. <b style="color: #ea5a5a;">Tartar</b>Torte 20:25, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Even Seven (Southern Cross Austereo) links to TNT (TV station) Bassie f (talk) 20:55, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * My experience is that common parlance in the UK matches what TatarTorte describes. I would say that the BBC is a TV network or possibly a TV station, but I'd describe BBC 1 as a TV channel or TV station completely interchangeably. Something like Sky News is even more nebulous - I could use any of the three terms to describe it.
 * @Bassie f then change the link so it points to the correct article, you don't need permission to do that. Thryduulf (talk) 21:52, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep and apply a whale to User:Anthony Bradbury who should know better. There is not "limited space" for redirects and even if there were being unnecessary is not a reason to delete a redirect let alone speedily. Thryduulf (talk) 09:31, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep as an unambiguous and potentially useful redirect. Restore the previous history of the redirect prior to its deletion. (What CSD was used to justify speedy deletion?) Mdewman6 (talk) 20:59, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * None at all. That's what makes it out of process. You may be surprised to learn that hundreds of pages are deleted with no reference to an approved deletion process every month. I know for sure I was. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 21:13, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I would hope/assume the majority of those were deleted per deletion policy and just have inadequate summaries, but yeah, all page deletions should reference a justifiable reason for deletion. Mdewman6 (talk) 22:44, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

 * It is well-established that deletions of pages that have been around for years should be brought to RfD, rather than admins acting sua sponte based on their own assertions of lack of need or links. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 00:55, 7 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Retarget to Aeolia (mythical island) as R from alternative disambiguation. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 09:23, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Aeolia (mythical island) per the IP editor. Being "unnecessary" is not a reason to delete a redirect of any age, and this is not unnecessary but a likely search term. Paul August the only pages that can be speedily deleted are those that meet a criterion at WP:CSD, if you think otherwise please hand in your admin bits ASAP. Thryduulf (talk) 09:34, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * "Unnecessary disambiguation pages" (G14) is a criteria for speedy delete, isn't it? And I don't think anyone will ever type in the string "Aeolia (floating island)", in the search field, however redirects are cheep keep it if you like. Paul August &#9742; 11:06, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Have you actually read WP:CSD - it only applies to pages that are disambiguation pages or redirects to one, this redirect is neither. No single editor gets to decide whether a search term is likely or not unless it's both recent and completely implausible, this redirect was neither. Your comment and actions do not encourage me to believe you should remain an administrator. Thryduulf (talk) 11:11, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not convinced Paul August needs to be desysopped yet; hopefully these discussions being closed as something other than "delete" will serve as a warning message to them, and if not, well, I'll keep periodically patrolling the deletion log as I have been doing on-and-off since January and will likely find a recurrance. And, for the record, I agree Aeolia (mythical island) is preferable to the current target. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 12:55, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Ooops sorry, in my haste, I misread the meaning of G14. Look, as part of cleaning up after my moves, I've tended to delete redirects which in my opinion are obviously unnecessary. I've assumed that was the right thing to do. I still think it is. But since others disagree, and unneeded redirects are no big deal, I will stop deleting them altogether. Paul August &#9742; 16:34, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * In which case I suggest you reread the entirety of WP:CSD and any other policies you might be misremebering. Incorrect speedy deletions are one of the most harmful things an administrator can do. Thryduulf (talk) 17:03, 7 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Retarget to Aeolia (mythical island) per above. For what it's worth, the reason why discovering issues such as this can be so problematic (even after the first discovered occurrence) is because they usually take years to discover, and by that time, the damage has already grown to enormous proportions. In addition, problems like this usually result in WP:ARBCOM cases ... which have resulted in administrations being desysopped. Steel1943  (talk) 18:06, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Dotis of Thessaly

Redirect was speedy deleted by User:Paul August out of process. Procedurally recreating and listing at RfD. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 00:31, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * For the record, this is nowhere near a complete set of all redirects deleted out of process. I deliberately didn't recreate and nominate a few where I agreed with the reason for deletion, quite possibly missed a few in my search, and only looked at redirects deleted since August 2022. I took these here instead of DRV because my point was to determine whether the community agreed with the merits of the deletions, not engage in bureaucracy for the sake of bureaucracy, and DRV would likely say just "relist at RfD". * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 00:36, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * This is unnecessary red tape, nothing links to Dotis of Thessaly, how could we possibly need this? Paul August &#9742; 00:48, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It is well-established at RfD that more than just one person's assertion of how could we possibly need this? is required to delete a redirect from a page move. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 00:55, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * , for someone claiming to care about process, I'm surprised you chose such an out of process approach here. Per the Deletion policy, If you believe a page was wrongly deleted...you should discuss this with the person who performed the deletion. If this fails to resolve the issue, you may be able to request review of the closure at Deletion review. Most of the time if you explain to the admin why their deletion was incorrect, they will restore the page and we don't need a WP:DRV nor WP:RFD. If you can't come to an agreement, then you need to lay your case out at DRV, but I disagree that the result would be an obvious "relist at RfD". However, if that is the outcome, it is best for the redirect to be restored properly (either by the deleting admin or the DRV closer), and then taken to RfD by an editor who actually wants the redirect deleted. That way, the RfD is on the merits of the redirect rather than the process. Additionally, a restored redirect would contain the context of creation, which these redirects are stripped of because they were simply recreated rather than restored. In this particular case, the recreation masks the fact that this was a R from move, so it's not obvious that this was the title of Dotis (son of Asterius) from 2018–2022. -- Tavix ( talk ) 17:26, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * In this case, if my delete of this redirect had been questioned, by anybody, for any reason, I would have simply restored the page (or any other deletion of a redirect for that matter). As I've stated above, I routinely delete redirects (such as this one) after a move of mine when, in my opinion, the redirect has no incoming links and extremely unlikely to be entered as a search string. This just seems to me to be good housekeeping to clean up after myself. But redirects are cheap, and I don't really care to argue about any of them. What I certainly won't do, and would do is take such a redirect to this page, which seems to be a big waste of time for all concerned. Again, as I' ve said above, what I will do from now on, is to never again delete a redirect. Paul August &#9742; 15:10, 9 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep. WP:CSD exists for a reason and admins speedily deleting out of process need to be taken to ANI post haste. In this case this is a perfectly plausible search term for the target. Also the history of these redirects should also be restored. Thryduulf (talk) 09:38, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * This article name comes from a editor who is unfortunately unclear about how to disambiguate names. This article is about a mythological character named "Dotis" (as are other mythological characters). He has no other name, in particular this character is never called "Dotis of Thessaly", this name was simply made up by the well-meaning editor. Consequently I do not believe that anyone will ever type in "Dotis of Thessaly" in any search field. Paul August &#9742; 11:23, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
