I'm not sure the Flipboard acquisition Zite is the primary topic here. If the primary topic is the pasta then retarget it to Ziti. If there's no primary topic, move Zite (disambiguation) to Zite. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 15:48, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Not a credible typo. Colonies Chris (talk) 11:09, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * 83 page views since creation, but none in the last couple of months. From the page history it seems it was created to fix a problem on an external website. If that external incoming link no longer exists, we won't need this redirect any longer, but it doesn't seem to do much harm. —Kusma (talk) 12:25, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * This is not the type of typo I'd personally nominate, but now that we're here I fully agree and vote delete, not helpful or logical to type in without any spaces, will never see plausible use now that pageviews have dropped to zero. Utopes (talk / cont) 23:20, 26 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep. The published work and it's link have not changed. Still there at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv1JJ227CQk, still valuable imho. Krinkle (talk) 04:27, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was Keep  . Although the arguments are numerically close, those in favour of keeping (primarily demonstrated utility) are stronger than those preferring deletion (principally not personally seeing the need). Thryduulf (talk) 13:24, 6 February 2024 (UTC)


 * T:WPBIO → Template:WikiProject Biography (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

As per the Prefix Index:, there are only two T: space redirects that point to WikiProject banners. The one to WP Tech, and this. T: redirects are already few and far between, and this particular redirect is already very confusing and niche, as it is a redirect not just to the template, but to the work groups section (which would otherwise not be expected). Out of the very limited number of T: redirects that would need to be reached on a regular basis, such as at DYK and ITN, it doesn't make sense for this redirect to exist, and to skip well into the prose at that. Utopes (talk / cont) 06:22, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't see the benefit of it. The WPBIO shortcut is sufficient. -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:10, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * To clarify, I mean just delete the T: one. No objections to others being created in an appropriate namespace. -Kj cheetham (talk) 12:57, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep Niche is corret, and although I don't use it as often anymore as my Wikipedia usage has decreased since those days, I'll repost some of what I wrote in the [2009 November 11 deletion discussion]: slightly edited Well.. I'll tell you the reason I created it. I do a lot of manual placing of that template on bio talk pages and found myself having to refer back to this list of parameters when adding those specific workgroups because I can never remember the names of these parameters, so I created a quick 'lil shortcut to take me directly there to that section. So you may not find any use for it but I certainly did. But if others also think it's useless, or if there's now a better alternative, then it's not a big deal to me if it gets deleted. Also, renaming it to T:WPBIOWORKGROUPS would defeat the purpose of "shortcut". -- &oelig; &trade; 00:05, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * While this template definitely has uses, the unideal part about this is that it resides as a PNR which is technically in mainspace. A redirect targeting a section is not particularly the problem, it's just that as a T: redirect (which is supposed to be technically a replacement for template), it might not be apparent why Template:WPBIO and T:WPBIO aren't the same, because the latter goes halfway down the page. I will note, that if desired, WP:TBIO can be used as a shortcut to nearly the same effect, and has the plus side of being in project space all the while.

 * <span id="P:AN/M">P:AN/M → Portal:Anarchism/Maintenance station (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Primarily developed in 2009, this PNR to a portal subpage seems to no longer have utility that requires a redirect. Instead of landing at a regular portal from typing this shortcut in, one is thrust into the backrooms of an untouched maintenance sector. This does not seem like a location in need of a PNR that occupies mainspace with the rest of articles. Utopes (talk / cont) 06:08, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

 * <span id="P:BW/NA">P:BW/NA → Portal:Rhineland-Palatinate/New Articles (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Does not contain any new articles since its creation (with 3 edits) in 2014. It is probably not necessary to have this title be a redirect from a pseudo-namespace, which otherwise occupies the same area as other articles and confuses anyone that stumbles upon it. Utopes (talk / cont) 06:01, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * It is also not plausible ("BW" is not an abbreviation of "Rhineland-Palatinate"). I believe it was originally meant to target a subpage of Portal:Baden-Württemberg, but that is not currently in portal space. So delete unless a relevant use can be found. —Kusma (talk) 20:14, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Current computer and video game events → Portal:Video games (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]
 * Current computer and video games events → Portal:Video games (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

I am not convinced that this redirect is helpful. Also in existence are a set of Current sports events redirects, which all are redirects to Portal:Current events subpages which are built for this purpose. On the flipside, these are not, and just go to the main Portal article for video gaming, which leaves people lost in a sea without a paddle. There is Portal:Current events/Video gaming/Headlines which is what I'd consider to be a more helpful target for this title in theory, but the recent game announcements are Red Dead Redemption 2 and Destiny 2. While it might've been more helpful in the past, I don't think we're going to be able to well-accommodate readers with this redirect, only discourage them due to a lack of the coverage they were looking for. Utopes (talk / cont) 05:45, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 2024 in video games--Pacostein (talk) 00:27, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete all since the redirects will need regular maintenance at least once a year. Steel1943  (talk) 01:03, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Retarget per Pacostein. Needing maintenance isn't a reason for deletion in itself, especially when its something like updating the year which can easily be done by a bot. Thryduulf (talk) 13:27, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry Dave

 * The result of the discussion was No consensus to delete.  There is agreement here that in an ideal world this quote would be mentioned at the target article, however since RfD only has authority over redirects that's not actionable here. On the immediate issue of whether to keep this redirect despite not being mentioned, I see no consensus. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun...  05:17, 7 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry Dave → 2001: A Space Odyssey (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

The word "sorry" does not ever appear at the target article, but Dave is mentioned. While an apology towards Dave may occur in the film, its existence as a redirect is questionable, as it does not seem apparent or necessary if it's just a one-liner that is never addressed at the page. Utopes (talk / cont) 07:40, 12 January 2024 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, signed,Rosguill talk 14:43, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that" is not just a random one-liner, it's almost certainly the second most quoted line in the entire film (after the immediately preceding "Open the pod bay doors, HAL."). Thryduulf (talk) 21:48, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * That's a fair point, I should have used different words to describe it (I'm more-or-less familiar with this quote as well). This redirect does differ from the others that have been nominated alongside it, in the sense that this quote is substantially shorter, and possibly more worthwhile due it being likelier to be typed and easier to maintain than some of these others. I didn't mean to imply it was random, but that's a potentially workable analogy. While it is certainly a quotable line, it's "random" in the grand scheme of all quotes; not only in relation to this film but beyond it. Among the quote redirects we do keep, it's necessary to have something for the readers that choose to type in these lines verbatim, else it's not a helpful redirect. As it's the second most quotable line, it could be easy to incorporate if that's the direction taken. Utopes (talk / cont) 08:54, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

 * can be tagged R without mention -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 07:07, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * That's a really unideal outcome in my opinion; that whole category consists of titles that already teeter on the verge of usefulness, and is a good spot to look for unhelpful redirects. Wikipedia isn't a search-by-quote service, and it wouldn't be very enticing if it was, with only 500 redirects currently tagged as R from quotation. Utopes (talk / cont) 08:01, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * You had already tagged it before you had voted. Jay  💬 09:25, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * How about "no" since that's putting the cart before the horse. R without mention puts the page into Category:Redirects to an article without mention, which is a maintenance category: Maintenance categories are meant to be empty, meaning pages marked with maintenance category have an issue that needs to be fixed as designated by the category. This means the resolution here is to ... add a mention to the target article before this RFD is closed. Steel1943  (talk) 10:34, 4 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Weak keep, part of the most notable quote relating to the film. —Kusma (talk) 12:22, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep -- and the quote should probably be mentioned in the article more prominently. JesseW, the juggling janitor
 * Delete: not mentioned. Don't tag R without mention, that's not a solution, that's just kicking the can down the road. Queen of Hearts 04:30, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
