 * Bigolas dickolas → This Is How You Lose the Time War (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Obviously spam Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 20:46, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Mate, it's mentioned at the target, rather prominently. The page history also explains this title. Obviously not spam.  J947  † edits 20:50, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * copying this from what I wrote on the talk page before it was listed here:"This is not an implausible redirect, the entire social media section of the article exists solely because a user with that name made an incredibly viral tweet promoting the book. The ridiculousness of the name is not merely incidental but clearly plays a significant part in the coverage surrounding the new found attention to the book, multiple articles specifically talk about the username and include it in the article headline. Its essentially become its own story beyond just the book. This obviously doesn't warrant an article per WP:BLP1E but a redirect seems entirely reasonable.For reference:'Bigolas Dickolas' is more powerful than the Pulitzer PrizeAn anime stan who goes by 'Bigolas Dickolas' on Twitter turned a queer sci-fi novel into a bestseller with one tweet. (they actually interview the account owner here)Bigolas Dickolas Is Giving Authors a New Career GoalViral Star Bigolas Dickolas Wolfwood on Sci-Fi Books, Trigun (another interview)An Interview With the Author Whose Novel Is Rocketing up the Amazon Charts Thanks to a Tweet From Someone Called “Bigolas Dickolas”Bigolas Dickolas is the Best of Book TwitterWhen Books Go Viral (New York Times)A Trigun fan account just turned a queer 2019 sci-fi novel into an Amazon bestseller - All hail Bigolas Dickolas Wolfwood, first of their nameTrigun Fan Account's Tweet Turns Queer Sci-Fi Novel Into An Amazon Bestseller--jonas (talk) 20:54, 15 May 2023 (UTC)"
 * Delete. Fleeting use in news coverage, which all consistently provide the actual name of the book, making it highly unlikely that anyone would be looking this up without having the book title. The redirect serves no purpose. TJRC (talk) 22:49, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I imagine many people will have remembered this phrase but not the book title. At the very least, wait a while and check pageviews to see if this does indeed occur. It's not like the redirect's existence harms the encyclopaedia to any appreciable extent.  J947  † edits 23:32, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - mentioned at target, independent news coverage exists, unambiguous target, and redirects are WP:CHEAP. Potentially useful redirect, even if that potential is small. Fieari (talk) 00:38, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: per J947's response to TJRC. I stumbled across this while patrolling redirects, and while I didn't approve it then (I was still a little confused because, as the page creation edit summary notes, it looks ridiculous, and wanted to leave it to another reviewer), I did realize this was probably at least at some level a valid redirect. Also, WP:CHEAP, and we can come back to this later if it gets basically no pageviews. No harm to keeping it for now. Skarmory   (talk •   contribs)  04:18, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. The other day I saw the phrase "bigolas dickolas" online in a context that didn't mention the book, so I think it's a plausible search term. Also WP:CHEAP. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 13:48, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep unless we think the event in question or the original Tweeter has any chance of having a Wikipedia article in the near future (I do not think they do), this is a useful redirect. Skynxnex (talk) 18:44, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Refine to This Is How You Lose the Time War where this is discussed. A7V2 (talk) 01:41, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

Having their post-nominals for a redirect is inconceivable for me at least, but I'm not going to object to policy-based arguments for it to stay. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 20:44, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Ambiguous title which could reasonably be redirected to a dozen or so pages. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:32, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per the nom. Not a good title for a disambig page either. Glades12 (talk) 18:21, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Ambiguous certainly, but it's a baseball term first and foremost right?  J947  † edits 19:46, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep anyone that types this into wiki is looking for the MLB pitching career wins list. Tiptopper (talk)

 * Delete per nom. Veverve (talk) 22:49, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: As winningest, which is essentially synonymous with this, is a soft redirect and no other term I found could find a generic topic for this, deletion seems reasonable. It's too vague as is. TartarTorte 02:35, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete as vague -- Lenticel ( talk ) 02:37, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * DABify - If the problem is that it could refer to a dozen or more different pages, the solution is to create a disambiguation page. This looks like something a sports fan... of any sport... might search for.  Let's get them to where they are looking. Fieari (talk) 06:45, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I could be persuaded to make this a DAB. Perhaps a list of lists? Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 20:14, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete to allow uninhibited search. I'm not completely opposed to disambiguation, however. A7V2 (talk) 01:42, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

assumed married name, but never used in media AngusW🐶🐶F  ( bark  •  sniff ) 15:06, 15 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete. No indication she uses this name whatsoever, and including it as a redirect is misdescriptive, no matter how cheap. TJRC (talk) 16:44, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Note The author, User:Techoliver298, has a history of creating these types of redirects; see Jennifer Veal-Hack, Elizabeth Avellán-Rodriguez, and Liz Gillies-Corcoran, among probably many others that I have not checked. I have sent them two talk-page messages about separate problems with their redirects without getting a response, though I'm not entirely sure if they've taken the advice I've given them or not; they never respond to anything on their talk page. It might be worth going through their contributions thoroughly to see how many invalid redirects they have created, though I do think the majority of their redirects are constructive ones from birth names. I've been keeping an eye on them for a while now, and I figured this was the best place to bring it up, because if this gets deleted, there are several that will follow its precedent. Skarmory   (talk •   contribs)  01:48, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: This one is a bit different from the three I listed above by this user. I can actually find news sources using it; I don't know how valid of a search term it is, but per WP:CHEAP I'm inclined to keep here. Skarmory   (talk •   contribs)  07:26, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: Based on sources provided by Skarmony. Redirects are cheap, and it's a possible search term that makes sense. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:50, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep as R from married name. estar8806 (talk) ★ 22:40, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Ancient Israel → History of ancient Israel and Judah (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

This term has no single obvious WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and could refer to a range of things. I boldly disambiguated it to this on 22 January, was reverted and instructed to take it to RfD. Here's one source providing just a taste of how indistinct and in need of disambiguation this term is. In addition to my original list of disambiguated entries, the page should probably also list Israelites, as in "Ancient	Israelites". Iskandar323 (talk) 09:24, 15 May 2023 (UTC)


 * DABify to this per nom. Veverve (talk) 22:51, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Dabify per the diff provided by nom -- Lenticel ( talk ) 02:38, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * DABify per nom. This is exactly what disambiguation is for. Fieari (talk) 06:39, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep I fail to see how the current target isn't sufficient. It's a broad article that covers all of the topics listed in the proposed DAB. If readers are looking for a specific iteration of "Ancient Israel," they can use links at the target. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 19:03, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. No need to disambiguate. Information is contained in that article for both Israelite kingdoms and their commonalities, which is not present in the specific articles on the northern kingdom of Israel and the kingdom of Judah. Dovidroth (talk) 03:40, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. The term "Ancient Israel" refers to the two kingdoms and their peoples collectively, so the existing link to an article that explores the history, society, culture and religion of both Israel and Judah is appropriate. The real issue here is History of Ancient Israel and Judah's overly broad scope, which delves into events that took place after the fall of the two Iron Age kingdoms. I'd change it to only cover the pre-exilic period of Israelite and Jewish history, moving later eras to our article on the Second Temple period. Tombah (talk) 06:38, 18 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep as the current target is already a broad article covering almost anything someone searching this could be looking for. If something is missing it should be added as a hatnote. A7V2 (talk) 01:49, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. The current target works fine for the intended topic. Iraniangal777 (talk) 09:01, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. For the reasons provided above. --Bsherr (talk) 15:41, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
 * If we had an article on Ancient Israel and Judah, that would have been my preferred target, but that article was moved, and is known by the current target title since 2007, so keep. Jay  💬 12:03, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was delete  . In addition to having a rough consensus in this RfD discussion, it is common practice for such redirects to be speedy-deleted on R3 or G6 grounds due to its interference with search form syntax. signed,Rosguill talk 04:36, 1 June 2023 (UTC)


 * <span id="&quot;Requiem&quot;">"Requiem" → Requiem (Wilberg) (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Inappropriate redirect target as there are many requiems and this is in no way the primary topic. &middot; &middot; &middot; Peter Southwood (talk): 09:13, 15 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete for unnecessary quotes. If kept though, should redirect to Requiem or its disambiguation. AngusW🐶🐶F  ( bark  •  sniff ) 15:23, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Retarget to Requiem (disambiguation), where many items listed are so titled.  J947  † edits 23:28, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Weak delete per Tamzin. Maybe motivated by my abject annoyance at trying to search for a direct match in the most efficient manner... Although, the number of readers who use search wildcards is easy to overestimate.  J947  † edits 06:19, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Requiem (disambiguation) per J947. "Requiem" is a valid search term for titles of works as they are often formatted this way. Redirects are cheap. Carpimaps talk to me! 03:56, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Retarget per above. Edward-Woodrow (talk) 14:52, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: a standard example of WP:AFFINITY. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 15:47, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't think that applies here since titles of works are often put inside quotation marks. This title has an affinity that lends to quotation marks being justified. Carpimaps talk to me! 04:00, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Retarget to Requiem (disambiguation), where many titles are written this way. No need for deletion. <b style="color:blue; text-shadow:cyan 0.0em 0.0em 0.1em;">CycloneYoris</b> <b style="color:purple">talk!</b> 09:16, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
 * It makes sense using such redirects within articles per what is expected in WP:Article titles, but I see no point in redirecting a quoted title to its disambiguation page. However, if there are similar redirect examples that target a dab page, I'll change my view. If we don't have a better solution than to retarget to the dab, Delete as a recently created redirect, created with quotes. In response to J947, how many of the entries on the dab actually have quoted titles, and not because they have to be written that way on pages because of MOS:QUOTETITLE? Jay  💬 09:42, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete because it leads to unexpected behavior in the search bar when trying to execute an exact-match search for the word Requiem. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 18:05, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Retarget to English, which usefully lists English people, England, and English national identity. Colloquially, the word "nation" is often used to mean "country" rather than "people", so we shouldn't try to guess which meaning the reader is looking for. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 14:24, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Retarget to English as per above. Veverve (talk) 22:56, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not a fan of targeting the dab page here. If we target English people it's extremely easy to get to England anyway. Maybe people are looking for English national identity but I rather doubt it, and we can include that in the hatnote anyway. However, I'm not sure what the primary topic is here upon further reflection, and would not strenuously object to the redirect being kept as is.  J947  † edits 23:07, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Retarget to English - I do think the dab is the most useful target here, particularly because, as J947 says, it's not entirely clear what the primary target should be, but the dab covers all potential targets. Fieari (talk) 00:45, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

If kept, this should be redirected to Steve. <b style="background:#f5b836;color:#d12b1f;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Pizzaplayer219</b>Talk<sub title="C" style="margin-left:-22q;">Contribs 15:16, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Conditional keep if explained not a catchphrase or meme at this point. AngusW🐶🐶F  ( bark  •  sniff ) 17:20, 8 May 2023 (UTC) updated 17:20, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Weirdly, that's the character's official name. Paintspot Infez (talk) 18:57, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. The character is literally called "Steve?", with the question mark. HotdogPi 16:41, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
 * If so, why isn't that mentioned at the target page, which is about said character in toto. signed,Rosguill talk 16:44, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
 * "Alternative Realisms: Subjectivity-production in Novels and Games" is a scholarly RS that, based on GScholar preview, verifies the question mark thing. But I wouldn't be comfortable adding anything about that to the target article without having actually read the relevant part of the dissertation, which isn't available through TWL's ProQuest access. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 17:38, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
 * If that is true, I can compromise at the redirect being moved to Steve? (Minecraft) to make it less ambiguous. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 11:44, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I would still keep it as Steve (Minecraft) as that's the primary / common name for merchandise and other media. These links suggest it is not: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/steve-bigfig-with-parrot-21148 AngusW🐶🐶F  ( bark  •  sniff ) 22:40, 17 May 2023 (UTC) updated  17:21, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Example stylization: Steve, sometimes stylized Steve?, is a Minecraft character. AngusW🐶🐶F  ( bark  •  sniff ) 22:41, 17 May 2023 (UTC) updated 17:21, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Full text of dissertation. --Bsherr (talk) 15:18, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much for finding that, Bsherr. I've added Steve? as a footnoted variant name to the article, citing Lobo. Consider me a keep, then. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 07:32, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment if kept, needs to explain the stylization. AngusW🐶🐶F  ( bark  •  sniff ) 15:24, 15 May 2023 (UTC) (striking out redundant comment)
 * Keep - Regardless of the information being in the article or not, Steve? with the question mark is in fact used by many people, and we even have a scholarly paper confirming the usage. Useful redirect. Fieari (talk) 23:35, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
