Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2025 January 2
This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on January 2, 2025.
Normae Congregationis
[edit]- Normae Congregationis → Norms regarding the manner of proceeding in the discernment of presumed apparitions or revelations (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Normæ Congregationis → Norms regarding the manner of proceeding in the discernment of presumed apparitions or revelations (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This name is never used to refer to this document. This appears to be a made up name by the user who created the article back in 2010, @BenedictKJS:. The very few non-RS blogs that use this expression are therefore WP:CITOGENESIS.
The article was created in 2010, before the Latin version of the document was published. From the research I have made, it seems that back then, the only Latin title was given in this 2008 interview (URL from the Italian Bishop Conference, since unfortunately the article at its original host is permanently dead) of Angelo Amato, in which the Archbishop says the title of this document is 'Normae S[acrae] Congregationis pro doctrina fidei de modo procedendi in diudicandis praesumptis apparitionibus ac revelationibus'.
As a sidenote, this is not the Latin title of the document we have as published (i.e., 'Normae de modo procedendi in diudicandis praesumptis apparitionibus ac revelationibus'); it is possible Angelo Amato got the title wrong in his interview, although the title he gave is quite close to the one given in French in the 2007 book Dictionnaire des « apparitions » de la Vierge Marie of René Laurentin and Patrick Sbalchiero (Éditions du Cerf, 'NORMES (du cardinal Šeper)', p. 668: "Normes de la sacrée congrégation pour la doctrine de la foi, Méthode pour discerner les présumées apparitions et révélations"), but this is not the topic.
The Latin version of the document was only published in 2012, along with the versions in other languages.
I suspect BenedictKJS has made up 'Normae Congregationis' by taking inspiration from the title given by Angelo Amato and possibly forgetting the 'Sacrae'. 'Normae Congregationis' are not the first words of the Latin version of the document either.
So, since they are wrong and unused, those redirects should therefore be deleted. Veverve (talk) 23:58, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Danny (Pokémon)
[edit]- Danny (Pokémon) → List of Pokémon characters#Orange Islands Gym Trainers (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
No mention of a character named Danny, at either this, nor List of Pokémon anime characters either. Utopes (talk / cont) 23:25, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Cissy (Pokémon)
[edit]- Cissy (Pokémon) → List of Pokémon characters#Orange Islands Gym Trainers (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
"Cissy" is not listed at the target article. Also, not listed at List of Pokémon anime characters either. Couldn't find anything else in a search, besides the entry on the Cissy dab page. Utopes (talk / cont) 23:22, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Bugsworth Bunny
[edit]- Bugsworth Bunny → Bugs Bunny (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Creator inf blocked. Bugs Bunny's full name is not "Bugsworth". This does not appear anywhere and is original research; the actual name is "George Washington Bunny" which is apparently real and news to me. In any case, the name of "bugsworth" does not appear anywhere at the target article, and this is tagged as an r without mention so I'm bringing it here to figure out whether or not this is helpful. I don't see any reason for "Bugsworth" to be typed out instead of "Bugs". No incoming links. Utopes (talk / cont) 23:17, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete useless redirect. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 00:44, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, his name isn't Bugsworth. 🦬 Beefaloe 🦬 (talk) 06:35, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
Awooo
[edit]Not mentioned at the target. Mind as well delete or point this to Awoo, because there is no affinity towards this onomatopoeia with exactly three "o"s, where two "o"s is a unique topic article on Wikipedia and four "o"s for Awoooo doesn't exist. Utopes (talk / cont) 23:14, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Utopes: Note the previous RfD. Steel1943 (talk) 16:51, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to Awoo, it's already hatnoted and typing one extra O is a plausible typo. I feel like the previous RFD consensus wasn't based on PAGs, or at least an onomatopoeia isn't an WP:RPURPOSE that I can find. Tessaract2Hi! 17:39, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Avoision
[edit]A portmanteau of "avoidance" and "evasion" probably should not be targeted a specific tax-related topic. This is because there used to be an article titled Tax avoidance and tax evasion as a grouped combination, but now the term "avoision" is not mentioned at the new target of Tax noncompliance after its name change. Avoidance and Evasion are disambigs right now. Utopes (talk / cont) 23:12, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- I would keep this redirect, as it is a term in real world use, though somewhat informally, to describe circumstances where an effort not to pay taxes skirts the line between permissible avoidance and illegal evasion. Sources can be found. BD2412 T 00:02, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Las arañas
[edit]WP:RFOREIGN Heyaaaaalol (talk) 22:05, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to Las Arañas (disambiguation). J947 ‡ edits 23:08, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Along the same lines, Las Arañas (disambiguation) should also be moved back to Las Arañas. J947 ‡ edits 23:10, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget as per J947, including rebasing the disambiguation. - UtherSRG (talk) 03:10, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
The other
[edit]- The other → Other (philosophy) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- The Other → Other (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
These two redirects should probably target the same article; I have no opinion on which at the moment. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 21:35, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to Other. Latter target is a dab which includes the former target as an option. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 02:08, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget both to Other per nom. The "philosophy" usage is spelt with a capital O on that page, so using case to differentiate it is wrong. Tevildo (talk) 08:35, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Rising Circle
[edit]- Rising Circle → Paramount Television (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Tagged as an unmentioned meme. No mention of "rising" or "circle" at the target article. This is a lot more broad than the other similar titles representing logo memes. Rising Sun is a slightly better target because at least that indicates a rising circle and material which is specific to this search term, but still not a great location because Rising Sun does not mention "circle" at all, even if the sun is generally depicted as a circle. Perhaps there's some geometrical articles to which this title might apply, but as a redirect to Paramount Television, this does not give insight to readers at this time. Utopes (talk / cont) 19:49, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
erm actually the sun is an oblate spheroid :hand_pointing_up: :nerd:
- delete-ish per nom-ish i think(-ish). from just a basic term like this, i think readers could also be looking for the rising of the moon, the rising of the moon, other solar system stuff, or jigglypuff seen from above, but i also don't think any fitting topics are likely to have their names forgotten in favor of "circle" consarn (formerly cogsan) 19:58, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Benevolent and Malevolent Rectangle
[edit]- Benevolent Rectangle → Paramount Television (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Malevolent Rectangle → Paramount Television (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
No mention of "benevolent", "malevolent", or "rectangle" at the target article. These redirects do not give context behind their search terms for general geometry, and without info about this material, these are not helpful as redirects. Utopes (talk / cont) 19:46, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- delete per nom, as "do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?". as with 0-3-5, i don't think redirects should rely on someone already knowing a joke that isn't mentioned in the target (with the odd exception of jerry temporary, as that one's become an actual misremembering) consarn (formerly cogsan) 20:01, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Veverve (talk) 00:40, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
Blue Mountain of Doom
[edit]- Blue Mountain of Doom → Paramount Television (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Tagged as an unmentioned meme. No mention of "blue", "mountain", nor "doom" at the target article. Also see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 April 23#Dark Mountain (logo) from April 2024 and Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 October 29#Killer Mountain (logo) from October 2024, each resulting in delete. Utopes (talk / cont) 19:45, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- delete per nom. pretty sure i've seen this name used for other mountains too, give or take mt. everest consarn (formerly cogsan) 20:03, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
The Closet Killer
[edit]- The Closet Killer → Paramount Television (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Per Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 March 21#Closet Killer, although this version was retargeted in 2023. In any case, no mention of "Closet" or "Killer" at the target article, nor was there any mention of these words when Closet Killer was deleted in March 2024. Utopes (talk / cont) 19:42, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- delete per nom. still unmentioned in the target, still mentioned in alex burger (screenwriter), still unsourced there consarn (formerly cogsan) 20:06, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

No opinion on this, just listing it for discussion. Intrisit (talk) 19:41, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Fourth Syrian Republic
[edit]Only one web page on a google search DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 17:59, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep, is a plausible search term, per Atassi, Karim (2018). "6: The Fourth Republic". Syria, the Strength of an Idea: The Constitutional Architectures of Its Political Regimes. New York: Cambridge University Press. p. 252. doi:10.1017/9781316872017. ISBN 978-1-107-18360-5. if nothing else. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 07:48, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
AOOO
[edit]seems very ambiguous, google does not only give this as the result DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 17:29, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. My Google search gave this as a very strong primary topic without many other options, besides "aooo" being used as an onomatopoiea in some youtube video titles which wouldn't require an article anyway. In any case, no other topics go by "AOOO" on Wikipedia besides a singular mention of differently-capitalized "Aooo" on Paap-O-Meter, and it is indeed a used acronym for Archive of Our Own (AO3 / AOOO) so I don't see the issue here, if it is thought to be ambiguous with something else. Utopes (talk / cont) 19:36, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep per Utopes. Abbreviations up to four letters long tend to be redlinks or disambiguation pages most of the time, but this appears to be an example of redirection being preferable. J947 ‡ edits 23:15, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Third Syrian Republic
[edit]Technically, it's still the second republic, and acc to a google search, negligible amount of web pages(<10) think otherwise. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 17:12, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
2024 Dehradun Municipal Corporation election
[edit]- 2024 Dehradun Municipal Corporation election → Dehradun Municipal Corporation (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Seems to have been created by mistake. There was no 2024 Dehradun Municipal Corporation election. Cremastra (u — c) 15:40, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Personbil 8
[edit]- Personbil 8 → Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Seems to be a separate, but related, thing used in the Swedish military (sv:Personbil 8). Since it's not discussed at the target, this should be deleted. Cremastra (u — c) 15:38, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per nom (criterion 10). Tevildo (talk) 18:37, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
One Step Away (video game)
[edit]- One Step Away (video game) → The Game Awards 2024 (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Implausible incorrect name for "One Move Away" that I don't see any usage of. Cremastra (u — c) 15:36, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per Cremastra, no mention of "one step" at the target article. Utopes (talk / cont) 19:31, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Garland war
[edit]- Garland war → Flower war (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I can't find evidence of this or "guerra guirnalda" as an alternative name, and it doesn't seem to be a plausible mistake. Cremastra (u — c) 15:35, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Christian Social and Anti-Semitic Party
[edit]- Christian Social and Anti-Semitic Party → Christian Social Party (Austria) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Does not seem to be a legitimate alternative name. Also, might this violate WP:RNEUTRAL? I assumed not since they actually were antisemitic. Cremastra (u — c) 15:27, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
2026 Kazakhstan Premier League
[edit]- 2026 Kazakhstan Premier League → Kazakhstan Premier League (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not mentioned at target in any capacity, making it a misleading redirect for anybody searching for this title. Delete as WP:TOOSOON. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:26, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete as too soon per josh. Utopes (talk / cont) 19:31, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Trump nominations for independent agencies
[edit]- Trump nominations for independent agencies → Political appointments by Donald Trump#Other independent agencies (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Appointees who have resigned from the Trump administration → Political appointments by Donald Trump (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
These have significant pre-merge edit history for Political appointments of the first Trump administration, but this title does not differentiate between first or second term. Not sure whether to redirect it to 1st term article or to the disambiguation page. Should we move it to a title mentioning "first presidency" without leaving a redirect? —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 21:41, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

List of Mario series games
[edit]- List of Mario series games → List of video games featuring Mario (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Mario game series → List of video games featuring Mario (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Out of all of the redirects to the target page, my question these two redirects due their inclusion of the word "series" in their titles. in the nutshell, the target page includes games that are not part of the Super Mario game series or the Mario franchise. For these reasons and since these redirects are video game specific, I'm proposing these redirects be retargeted to Super Mario. Steel1943 (talk) 14:47, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Are these redirects useful? Are people going to be typing either of those in? Tduk (talk) 21:44, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

No such list or topic in target article. Steel1943 (talk) 14:40, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete all per nom or retarget to a specific heading if applicable. Also, if only 2 or 3 exists, won't 2 act as 3 and vice versa? TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 02:10, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Mushroom Kingdoom
[edit]- Mushroom Kingdoom → Mario (franchise) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Due to the notability in the universe of the target subject, this redirect is a highly unlikely misspelling for "Mushroom Kingdom". In fact, most third-party sources for the exact term of the redirect, seem to be about fanfiction subjects that may or may not be related to the properly spelled subject. Steel1943 (talk) 14:36, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Weak delete: Typically, I would say this is a harmless typo, but there have also only been seven page views in the past year. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 15:16, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- delete as implausible tyop per nom. it's one intent away from being a bad pun, i swear to nyarlathotep consarn (formerly cogsan) 15:38, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, unlikely typo. Utopes (talk / cont) 19:30, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete; unhelpful redirect Tduk (talk) 21:45, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Weak delete it may be a plausible typo, but I don't see any reason to keep it. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 00:45, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Mushroom Kingdom
[edit]- Mushroom Kingdom → Mario (franchise) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Bringing this up for discussion after discovering that Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mushroom Kingdom occurred in April 2024, which established a consensus to redirect this title to Super Mario. I retargeted this redirect to Mario (franchise) As a more plausible target, given that the subject of the redirect is part of the franchise as a whole, not just the video game series. In addition, the franchise article seems to contain more information about the subject of this redirect than the series article. In other words, my vote here is keep, but I'm bringing this up for discussion because it seems like consensus for this is necessary. Steel1943 (talk) 14:29, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep per nom. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 15:17, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep per nom. Retargets must occur at RFD and not AFD. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 02:11, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Restore. I guess I'll just use this opportunity to express my displeasure at the outcome of the AfD. If I had seen it at the time I would have !voted to keep it. Plenty of sources exist as was demonstrated by Zxcvbnm. -- Tavix (talk) 20:16, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
List of Mario series locations
[edit]- List of Mario series locations → Super Mario#Settings (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Target section no longer exists, and no such information is in the target article. However, looks like this title had history as an article for a few months in 2007 before being subject to a WP:BLAR. Steel1943 (talk) 14:20, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- delete. no need to worry about the history, as it had no sources and was written like something in tv tropes, with levels of detail being all over the place consarn (formerly cogsan) 14:27, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Nominator comment: For what it's worth, it does not seem that there is such a list in Mario (franchise) either, though there are some settings sporadically mentioned throughout the article in places which would not seem to validate this redirect being targeted to any of them. Steel1943 (talk) 14:33, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- keep and mention this on the talk page to encourage development of a properly sourced section. Tduk (talk) 21:48, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
米国
[edit]Japanese is not relevant to the target. Delete as a redirect in a language other than English to a page whose subject is unrelated to that language (point 8 of WP:R#DELETE)/per WP:RFOREIGN). Noting that the previous discussion was closed as a trainwreck, with the closer asking that these be renominated individually. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:41, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:25, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Keep: it's a redirect to United States so it's no high bar that it has to cross to not be a novel or very obscure synonym. Indeed, there are more Japanese Americans than Japanese on Okinawa. Moreover, it's Chinese, not Japanese (there are definitely more Chinese Americans than Japanese on Okinawa). J947 ‡ edits 23:21, 2 January 2025 (UTC)- Retarget to Names of the United States#Names in the Asian cultural sphere per Tavix; the mention renders D8/RLOTE concerns moot. J947 ‡ edits 06:42, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

[edit]- Соединенные Штаты → United States (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Соединенные Штаты Америки → United States (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Delete as redirects in a language other than English to a page whose subject is unrelated to that language (point 8 of WP:R#DELETE)/per WP:RFOREIGN). Noting that the previous discussion was closed as a trainwreck, with the closer asking that these be renominated individually. I'm bundling these two together as they are both from Russian. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:37, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:25, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to List of country names in various languages (Q–Z)#U where it's mentioned. I'm also fine with keeping it due to the fact that Russia has colonial ties to the United States. -- Tavix (talk) 20:22, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
2025 Cincinnati Bengals season
[edit]- 2025 Cincinnati Bengals season → Cincinnati Bengals (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Current target is useless. Delete and re-create as an actual article once we have some info about the 2025 Bengals season. Same goes for every other team except the Buffalo Bills, which was deleted after an earlier discussion. 🦬 Beefaloe 🦬 (talk) 11:25, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Dub dub
[edit]This is unmentioned at the target, which has a disambiguatory hatnote to Worldwide Developers Conference where this phrase is also unmentioned. How unhelpful Search results are dominated by Rub-a-dub-dub, with Dubstep a potential target at a stretch. What's it to be? I suggest delete is probably the best course of action, unless there's a proper mention or explanation for the redirection to this target, the hatnoted target, or any other article. J947 ‡ edits 05:37, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

- Nigga Stole My Bike → YTMND (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Old meme which is not mentioned in either article. Both redirects originally pointed to List of YTMND fads which had this meme as an entry, but that list was made into a redirect long ago. 1857a (talk) 04:23, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
3rd redirect added later on 2 January. 1857a (talk) 23:36, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- steal the redirects' bikes per nom. at the moment, this seems to be stuck in the limbo of "things that have slipped into 'jokes everyone just kinda gets' territory so there's not much chance of them being covered", along with aran ryan. or google just doesn't want to give me anything usable consarn (formerly cogsan) 12:18, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per nom's reasonings. Also, there are a few dozen more similar meme redirects (those that aren't variations of YTMND, aren't mentioned in the article, but were mentioned in the list-article). Perhaps add them to this RFD, or add them all in batch after this one is done. At least add N*gga stole my bike. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 16:58, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
List of Star Trek: The Next Generation characters

Would List of Star Trek: The Next Generation cast members be a better target? Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 03:56, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- When I created this redirect I was actually moving the page back to its original, correct title. It was confusingly moved to this title which made less sense, and I considered nominating it for deletion myself. It can point elsewhere too, I really have no clear idea of what to do with it. Tduk (talk) 04:28, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to List of Star Trek: The Next Generation cast members#Cast or List of Star Trek characters#Star Trek: The Next Generation. The table on the former is transcluded in the latter, so the information is the same in both places. - Eureka Lott 14:56, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

- Keep as it expands to more than albums; extended plays and compilations. Darrion N. Brown 🙂 (my talk page / my sandbox) 22:37, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Wrench size
[edit]- Wrench size → Width across flats (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
'Wrench size' is mentioned at the target, but as someone unfamiliar with wrenches, I'm not sure if this is what I would expect. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 03:14, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. I moved the page and probably should not have left a redirect. I have edited the only two links to "wrench size" — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 09:13, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Jelping-Ja-Oyka
[edit]- Jelping-Ja-Oyka → Yalpus-Oyka (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
'Jelping-Ja-Oyka' is not mentioned at the target, and I'm not finding reliable, independent sources that connect the two. Most sources naming 'Jelping-Ja-Oyka' appear to be user-generated and/or cite Wikipedia. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:59, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per the deletion discussion for Jelping-Ja-Oyka, it was established that Jelping-Ja-Oyka is not a real name for this deity that is known as Yalpus-Oyka/Konsyg-Oyka. There was no consensus to delete the page and one editor suggested moving the page to Yalpus-Oyka instead of deleting the page and remaking the article. Jaguarnik (talk) 08:39, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Alberteum Aedes Scientiae
[edit]- Alberteum Aedes Scientiae → Brussels Planetarium (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Based on a Google search, "Alberteum - Aedes Scientiae" is related to the Brussels Planetarium. Per WorldFairs.info, the planetarium 'complemented' the alberteum at the 1935 World Fair. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:55, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Angular precision
[edit]- Angular precision → Small-angle approximation (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
"Angular precision" is not mentioned at the target, though I'm certain "Angular precision" is related to something somewhere! Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:50, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- I had hoped to point it at orders of magnitude (angle), but was surprised to see such a page no longer exists. Arlo James Barnes 03:12, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Either retarget to Angular resolution, which seems in the ballpark, or barring that, delete. The small angle approximation is a completely different concept, so it shouldn't point there. Still, I'm not sure if resolution for imaging is really as general as a term like "precision" suggests someone might be looking for. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 04:17, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
List of mayors of Bhopal
[edit]- List of mayors of Bhopal → Mayor of Bhopal (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
There is no such list at the target. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:45, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Comment, I concur the redirect is misleading in its current form. Still, does contain history back to 2021. This page existed as a standalone article until 2 days ago (December 31st), when it was BLAR'd and remade at the target of this redirect. Utopes (talk / cont) 19:29, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Triple dub
[edit]- Triple dub → World Wide Web (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Delete. It appears to be an outdated slang term that saw some use in the earlier days of the Internet but has largely faded into obscurity. A Google search shows three entries on Urban Dictionary for the phrase, and essentially nothing else. It also appears to be the name of an obscure rapper, which may well be a slightly more popular topic. Regardless, this redirect has gotten a whopping zero page views in the last month, so the course of action seems clear. Anonymous 02:45, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Should I also nominate Dub dub dub for being a related slang term? User:Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 04:38, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- That's more common and less ambiguous, so probably should be kept. J947 ‡ edits 05:29, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete or retarget to Double-double#Triple-double, depending on its prominence as a basketball term. J947 ‡ edits 05:29, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Chimera (EP)
[edit]- Chimera (EP) → Marié Digby (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
A quick Google search shows that Marie Digby is not the only artist with an EP titled Chimera. For instance, Chris Pureka also has a Chimera EP. Should we DAB? Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:30, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to Chimera#Albums, where that EP and another one by Girugamesh (whose article mentions it as "Chimera" even though it's listed as "鵺-chimera-" on the disambiguation page) are mentioned. I've gone ahead and added the Chris Pureka one to the page. It may or may not be removed, but these two other ones should be enough to warrant that redirect there. Regards, SONIC678 02:51, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- I'd say that's a perfect solution, Sonic. I was thinking a DAB of Chimera (EP). I should have checked if there was an existing DAB for Chimera. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 15:34, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Xenopronoun
[edit]- Xenopronoun → Neopronoun#Noun-self pronouns (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
When this term is used in online MOGAI circles, it seems to refer to a kind of neopronoun that are unable to be understood by humans[1][2][3] (While I know that these sources are unreliable, there aren't really any reliable sources that discuss this topic). The current target links to "nounself pronouns", which are a different category. JJPMaster (she/they) 02:01, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete By their very nature, Xenopronouns aren't currently known by humans. User:Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 04:40, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Xenopronouns aren't currently known by humans

- Keep per Significa Liberdade. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 00:47, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Many people use this term to mean nounself pronouns or even neopronouns in general, typically because they don't know this specific definition, which is possibly a recoining or reinvention. I couldn't check what's the meaning these sources are using. It's a brief mention, only a source with a lot of microlabels and neologisms would use this meaning or know this lore.

The Daffodils
[edit]- The Daffodils → Narcissus (plant) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Delete? This was an article about a Swedish band, but it was turned into a redirect. The article had no references to establish notability (there were external links to MySpace and the band's webpage). Swedish Wikipedia has an article (sv:Daffodils (musikgrupp)), but none of the sources there look to me to be sufficient to establish notability. Plantdrew (talk) 01:33, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Delete not appropriate to redirect a topic with a definite article and in title case. Could be restored and sent to AFD butgiven the redirection was in 2015 we might not need to do that. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:27, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Maybe I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud would be a target? as it was in the hatnote when the band article existed however it doesn't use "Daffodils" with "The" first. Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:44, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

6 April 1992
[edit]- 6 April 1992 → Bosnian War (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Does not appear to be the primary topic on a quick google news Wikipedia search, and the war was not a one-day event, making this redirect highly unlikely. Delete. -1ctinus📝🗨 00:05, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to 1992#April, the next best choice for pre-2002 dates too early for the current event pages. J947 ‡ edits 00:13, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm aware that it's neither an official nor a universally agreed upon perspective, but I would like to bring up WP:PANDORA. Should we really be having redirects for individual days to their corresponding month and year? This solution seems less ideal than the current situation. Anonymous 03:02, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- There are differing opinions on the validity of such redirects but I am firmly in favour of their mass creation. J947 ‡ edits 03:25, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

- Delete per Anonymous. Although we have redirects for some dates (e.g., July 4, 1776), this particular date does not seem to have that level of importance. However, I would accept a retarget to Ilirida since this was the date "the Republic of Ilirida was proclaimed", and we don't have any other major events on the same day at 1992#April. Feel free to ping me with questions or if anything else comes up. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 06:14, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- The start of the Bosnian War was probably more significant than this secession event, though, so it doesn't actually make sense to prioritize the latter, it would easily by seen as a violation of WP:FRINGE by the average reader. --Joy (talk) 16:35, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to a heading explaining the start of the Bosnian War. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 02:14, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Someone created this redirect to CNN This Morning with Kasie Hunt and moved the original article that was at this title to CNN This Morning (2022) without any discussion.
