Redirects for discussion (RfD) is the place where potentially problematic redirects are discussed. Items usually stay listed for a week or so, after which they are deleted, kept, or retargeted.

  • If you want to replace an unprotected redirect with an article, do not list it here. Turning redirects into articles is wholly encouraged. Be bold!
  • If you want to move a page but a redirect is in the way, do not list it here. For non-controversial cases, place a technical request; if a discussion is required, then start a requested move.
  • If you think a redirect points to the wrong target article, this is a good place to discuss the proper target.
  • Redirects should not be deleted just because they have no incoming links. Please do not use this as the only reason to delete a redirect. However, redirects that do have incoming links are sometimes deleted, so that is not a sufficient condition for keeping. (See § When to delete a redirect for more information.)

Please do not unilaterally rename or change the target of a redirect while it is under discussion. This adds unnecessary complication to the discussion for participants and closers.

Current and past redirects for discussion (RfD) discussions

[edit]

Current discussions

[edit]

Redirects that have been nominated for discussion are indexed by the day on which they were first listed.

Old discussions

[edit]

After 7 days, RfDs nominations that have finished their discussion period are eligible to be closed following the deletion process.

Before listing a redirect for discussion

[edit]

Please be aware of these general policies, which apply here as elsewhere:

The guiding principles of RfD

[edit]
  • The purpose of a good redirect is to eliminate the possibility that readers will find themselves staring blankly at "Search results 1–10 out of 378" instead of the article they were looking for. If someone could plausibly enter the redirect's name when searching for the target article, it's a good redirect.
  • Redirects are cheap. They take up little storage space and use very little bandwidth. It doesn't really hurt things if there are a few of them scattered around. On the flip side, deleting redirects is also cheap because recording the deletion takes up little storage space and uses very little bandwidth. There is no harm in deleting problematic redirects.
  • If a good-faith RfD nomination proposes to delete a redirect and has no discussion after at least 7 days, the default result is delete.
  • Redirects nominated in contravention of Wikipedia:Redirect will be speedily kept.
  • RfD can also serve as a central discussion forum for debates about which page a redirect should target. In cases where retargeting the redirect could be considered controversial, it is advisable to leave a notice on the talk page of the redirect's current target page or the proposed target page to refer readers to the redirect's nomination to allow input and help form consensus for the redirect's target.
  • Requests for deletion of redirects from one page's talk page to another's do not need to be listed here. Anyone can remove the redirect by blanking the page. The G6 criterion for speedy deletion may be appropriate.
  • In discussions, always ask yourself whether or not a redirect would be helpful to the reader.

When to delete a redirect

[edit]

The major reasons why deletion of redirects is harmful are:

  • a redirect may contain non-trivial edit history;
  • if a redirect is reasonably old (or is the result of moving a page that has been there for quite some time), then it is possible that its deletion will break incoming links (such links coming from older revisions of Wikipedia pages, from edit summaries, from other Wikimedia projects or from elsewhere on the internet, do not show up in "What links here").

Therefore consider the deletion only of either harmful redirects or of recent ones.

Reasons for deleting

[edit]

You might want to delete a redirect if one or more of the following conditions is met:

  1. The redirect page makes it unreasonably difficult for users to locate similarly named articles via the search engine. For example, if the user searches for "New Articles", and is redirected to a disambiguation page for "Articles" (itself a redirect to "Article"), it would take much longer to get to the newly added articles on Wikipedia.
  2. The redirect might cause confusion. For example, if "Adam B. Smith" was redirected to "Andrew B. Smith", because Andrew was accidentally called Adam in one source, this could cause confusion with the article on Adam Smith, so the redirect should be deleted.
  3. The redirect is offensive or abusive, such as redirecting "Joe Bloggs is a Loser" to "Joe Bloggs" (unless "Joe Bloggs is a Loser" is legitimately discussed in the article), or "Joe Bloggs" to "Loser". (Speedy deletion criterion G10 and G3 may apply.) See also § Neutrality of redirects.
  4. The redirect constitutes self-promotion or spam. (Speedy deletion criterion G11 may apply.)
  5. The redirect makes no sense, such as redirecting "Apple" to "Banana". (Speedy deletion criterion G1 may apply.)
  6. It is a cross-namespace redirect out of article space, such as one pointing into the User or Wikipedia namespace. The major exception to this rule are the pseudo-namespace shortcut redirects, which technically are in the main article space. Some long-standing cross-namespace redirects are also kept because of their long-standing history and potential usefulness. "MOS:" redirects, for example, were an exception to this rule until they became their own namespace in 2024. (Note also the existence of namespace aliases such as WP:. Speedy deletion criterion R2 may apply if the target namespace is something other than Category:, Template:, Wikipedia:, Help:, or Portal:.)
  7. If the redirect is broken, meaning it redirects to an article that does not exist, it can be immediately deleted under speedy deletion criterion G8. You should check that there is not an alternative place it could be appropriately redirected to first and that it has not become broken through vandalism.
  8. If the redirect is a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name that is not mentioned in the target, it is unlikely to be useful. In particular, redirects in a language other than English to a page whose subject is unrelated to that language (or a culture that speaks that language) should generally not be created. (Implausible typos or misnomers are candidates for speedy deletion criterion R3, if recently created.)
  9. If the target article needs to be moved to the redirect title, but the redirect has been edited before and has a history of its own, then the title needs to be freed up to make way for the move. If the move is uncontroversial, tag the redirect for G6 speedy deletion, or alternatively (with the suppressredirect user right; available to page movers and admins), perform a round-robin move. If not, take the article to Requested moves.
  10. If the redirect could plausibly be expanded into an article, and the target article contains virtually no information on the subject.
  11. If the redirect ends in "(disambiguation)" but does not target a disambiguation page or a page performing a disambiguation-like function (such as a set index of articles). Speedy deletion criterion G14 may apply.

Reasons for not deleting

[edit]

However, avoid deleting such redirects if:

  1. They have a potentially useful page history, or an edit history that should be kept to comply with the licensing requirements for a merge (see Wikipedia:Merge and delete). On the other hand, if the redirect was created by renaming a page with that name, and the page history just mentions the renaming, and for one of the reasons above you want to delete the page, copy the page history to the Talk page of the article it redirects to. The act of renaming is useful page history, and even more so if there has been discussion on the page name.
  2. They would aid accidental linking and make the creation of duplicate articles less likely, whether by redirecting a plural to a singular, by redirecting a frequent misspelling to a correct spelling, by redirecting a misnomer to a correct term, by redirecting to a synonym, etc. In other words, redirects with no incoming links are not candidates for deletion on those grounds because they are of benefit to the browsing user. Some extra vigilance by editors will be required to minimize the occurrence of those frequent misspellings in article text because the linkified misspellings will not appear as broken links; consider tagging the redirect with the {{R from misspelling}} template to assist editors in monitoring these misspellings.
  3. They aid searches on certain terms. For example, users who might see the "Keystone State" mentioned somewhere but do not know what that refers to will be able to find out at the Pennsylvania (target) article.
  4. Deleting redirects runs the risk of breaking incoming or internal links. For example, redirects resulting from page moves should not normally be deleted without good reason. Links that have existed for a significant length of time, including CamelCase links (e.g. WolVes) and old subpage links, should be retained in case there are any existing links on external pages pointing to them. Please tag these with {{R from old history}}. See also Wikipedia:Link rot § Link rot on non-Wikimedia sites.
  5. Someone finds them useful. Hint: If someone says they find a redirect useful, they probably do. You might not find it useful—this is not because the other person is being untruthful, but because you browse Wikipedia in different ways. Evidence of usage can be gauged by using the wikishark or pageviews tool on the redirect to see the number of views it gets.
  6. The redirect is to a closely related word form, such as a plural form to a singular form.

Neutrality of redirects

[edit]

Just as article titles using non-neutral language are permitted in some circumstances, so are such redirects. Because redirects are less visible to readers, more latitude is allowed in their names, therefore perceived lack of neutrality in redirect names is not a sufficient reason for their deletion. In most cases, non-neutral but verifiable redirects should point to neutrally titled articles about the subject of the term. Non-neutral redirects may be tagged with {{R from non-neutral name}}.

Non-neutral redirects are commonly created for three reasons:

  1. Articles that are created using non-neutral titles are routinely moved to a new neutral title, which leaves behind the old non-neutral title as a working redirect (e.g. ClimategateClimategateClimatic Research Unit email controversy).
  2. Articles created as POV forks may be deleted and replaced by a redirect pointing towards the article from which the fork originated (e.g. Barack Obama Muslim rumorBarack Obama Muslim rumor → deleted and now redirected to Barack Obama religion conspiracy theories).
  3. The subject matter of articles may be represented by some sources outside Wikipedia in non-neutral terms. Such terms are generally avoided in Wikipedia article titles, per the words to avoid guidelines and the general neutral point of view policy. For instance the non-neutral expression "AttorneygateAttorneygate" is used to redirect to the neutrally titled 2006 dismissal of U.S. attorneys. The article in question has never used that title, but the redirect was created to provide an alternative means of reaching it because a number of press reports use the term.

The exceptions to this rule would be redirects that are not established terms and are unlikely to be useful, and therefore may be nominated for deletion, perhaps under deletion reason #3. However, if a redirect represents an established term that is used in multiple mainstream reliable sources, it should be kept even if non-neutral, as it will facilitate searches on such terms. Please keep in mind that RfD is not the place to resolve most editorial disputes.

Closing notes

[edit]
Details at Administrator instructions for RfD

Nominations should remain open, per policy, about a week before they are closed, unless they meet the general criteria for speedy deletion, the criteria for speedy deletion of a redirect, or are not valid redirect discussion requests (e.g. are actually move requests).

How to list a redirect for discussion

[edit]
STEP I.
Tag the redirect(s).

  Enter {{subst:rfd|content= at the very beginning of the redirect page you are listing for discussion and enter }} at the very end of the page.

  • Please do not mark the edit as minor (m).
  • Please include in the edit summary the phrase:
    Nominated for RfD: see [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion]].
  • Save the page ("Publish changes").
  • If you are unable to edit the redirect page because of protection, this step can be omitted, and after step 2 is completed, a request to add the RFD template can be put on the redirect's talk page.
  • If the redirect you are nominating is in template namespace, consider adding |showontransclusion=1 to the RfD tag so that people using the template redirect are aware of the nomination. If it is an inline template, use |showontransclusion=tiny instead.
  • If you are nominating multiple redirects as a group, repeat all the above steps for each redirect being nominated and specify on {{rfd}} the nomination's group heading from Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion
STEP II.
List the entry on RfD.

 Click here to edit the section of RfD for today's entries.

  • Enter this text below the date heading:
{{subst:Rfd2|redirect=RedirectName|target=TargetArticle|text=The action you would like to occur (deletion, re-targeting, etc.) and the rationale for that action.}} ~~~~
  • For this template:
    • Put the redirect's name in place of RedirectName, put the target article's name in place of TargetArticle, and include a reason after text=.
    • Note that, for this step, the "target article" is the current target of the redirect (if you have a suggestion for a better target, include this in the text that you insert after text=).
  • Please use an edit summary such as:
    Nominating [[RedirectName]]
    (replacing RedirectName with the name of the redirect you are nominating).
  • To list multiple related redirects for discussion, use the following syntax. Repeat line 2 for N number of redirects:
{{subst:Rfd2|redirect=RedirectName1|target=TargetArticle1}}
{{subst:Rfd2|multi=yes|redirect=RedirectName2|target=TargetArticle2}}
{{subst:Rfd2|multi=yes|redirect=RedirectNameN|target=TargetArticleN|text=The actions you would like to occur (deletion, re-targeting, etc.) and the rationale for those actions.}} ~~~~
  • If the redirect has had previous RfDs, you can add {{Oldrfdlist|previous RfD without brackets|result of previous RfD}} directly after the rfd2 template.
  • If appropriate, inform members of the most relevant WikiProjects through one or more "deletion sorting lists". Then add a {{subst:delsort|<topic>|<signature>}} template to the nomination, to insert a note that this has been done.
STEP III.
Notify users.

  It is generally considered good practice to notify the creator and main contributors of the redirect(s) that you nominate.

To find the main contributors, look in the page history of the respective redirect(s). For convenience, the template

{{subst:Rfd notice|RedirectName}} ~~~~

may be placed on the creator/main contributors' user talk page to provide notice of the discussion. Please replace RedirectName with the name of the respective creator/main contributors' redirect and use an edit summary such as:
Notice of redirect discussion at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion]].

Notices about the RfD discussion may also be left on relevant talk pages.

  • Please consider using What links here to locate other redirects that may be related to the one you are nominating. After going to the redirect target page and selecting "What links here" in the toolbox on the left side of your computer screen, select both "Hide transclusions" and "Hide links" filters to display the redirects to the redirect target page.

Federalism in Iran

[edit]

1. The Congress of Nationalities for a Federal Iran (currently what the redirect redirects to) really doesn't cover much about Federalism in Iran other then the fact that the CNFI advocates for a Federal Iran.

2. The redirect in question has potential to be a separate article that would be actually about Federalism in Iran.

Therefore, I would like the redirect to be deleted as the reasons stated above.

The Dark Prince

[edit]

This should be a disambig, as it also refers to the main villain in the Puyo Puyo games (in the more recent official English localizations). Kinopiko talk 00:10, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

Eka Budianto

[edit]

I can't find any evidence on google that this person's name is spelled Eka Budianto, rather than Eka Budianta. Maybe delete unless someone has an explanation? Duckmather (talk) 23:38, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

Jules Guerin

[edit]

This should probably be disambiguated or retargeted. The current target is Jules Guérin (artist), but a completely different article, Jules Guérin, also exists. Epicgenius (talk) 22:48, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

Ambiguous, could refer to anything that lacks order. I2Overcome talk 20:48, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

With all due respect this redirect does see some usage : https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2025-06-01&end=2025-11-09&pages=Unordered 🐲Jothefiredragon🔥talk🧨contributionslog🐉 03:12, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
I didn't say anything about usage. The fact that it has been used doesn't mean that people are finding what they are looking for at the target article. There are other possible targets such as Unordered list, Unordered map, Unordered associative containers (C++), Unordered pair, etc. I don't think it makes sense for this redirect to exist, but if it does, is NaN#Comparison with NaN really the best target? I2Overcome talk 03:39, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

Body soap

[edit]

Ambiguous, could also refer to shower gel. I2Overcome talk 20:28, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

  • Retarget to shower gel since bodywash redirects there. Someone searching for "body soap" is more interested in soap for the body than just soap in general. 𝔅𝔦𝔰-𝔖𝔢𝔯𝔧𝔢𝔱𝔞? 21:32, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
    I don't think that's a good solution since it can refer to either bar soap or shower gel. I think the only other option besides deletion for this title would be making it a disambiguation page, but it is not likely worth keeping. I2Overcome talk 01:25, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

Sotong

[edit]

indonesian and(/or?) malay term with seemingly no affinity consarn (talck) (contirbuton s) 13:11, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

  • Keep What does "seemingly no affinity" mean? Sotong literally means squid in both languages... I know we don't encourage excessive use of foreign terminology in articles and redirects, but it wouldn't be an unusual term to see and we have several articles on Malay dishes that use it. Perhaps a retarget to Squid as food would be better. Reywas92Talk 13:45, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
    "affinity" here means how significant any given alternate language term is to its topic in general, and how plausible that would make a redirect from that language. for example, "brasil" is a plausible redirect to brazil since it has demonstrably high affinity with portuguese (why is beyond me, though, don't they speak spanish?), but ब्राजिल, which is nepali for brazil, doesn't have affinity because there's no demonstrable relation between them that could warrant a redirect like that being plausible. in this case, indonesia and malaysia don't have any particular affinity with squid as far as wikipedia cares, with the word and countries both being unmentioned in the target and your proposed target
    this is all stuff covered in wp:forred, so i'll recommend going there consarn (talck) (contirbuton s) 16:15, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
    don't they speak spanish? Nope, they speak Brazilian Portuguese, a fact noted on the Brazil Wikipedia page-- which is *why* the brazilian portuguese name of the country has affinity, a country's name written in its own native tongue will always have affinity.

  • It's defined at Singaporean cuisine#Seafood. There's an additional definition offered at Singlish vocabulary#S. -- Tavix (talk) 16:27, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Do not keep; there may be a suitable alternative to deletion but I'm not sure what the best option is. A cursory web search indicates the literal meaning is squid or cuttlefish (most often defined as just 'squid' or as either/both) and that the slang usage described at Singlish vocabulary#S is common. The word appears in many articles, usually in reference to food. It's also part of Malay cuisine, Malaysian cuisine (and possibly others?) so a redirect specifically to Singaporean cuisine seems improper. —Myceteae🍄‍🟫(talk) 17:27, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Retarget to Singlish vocabulary#sotong is the most helpful course of action. It has a link to wikt:sotong, both the squid and cuttlefish definitions, and a couple of extra definitions. It doesn't comment on Indonesian, but it is a very similar language to Malay. Alternative good options are keep (redirects from synonym, even without definition, tend to be understood by readers very naturally and easily) or retarget to wikt:sotong which has the most comprehensive set of definitions. Not enamoured with either deletion or disambiguation as a useful option here, so I don't think we can fit in the mention at So, Communication. J947edits 20:47, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

  • Delete all. They seemingly refer to Cidade Maravilhosa, which was a march written for the 1935 Rio Carnival. The three terms are (supposedly) "mottos of the city of Rio", but I don't think they're particularly helpful and are more likely than not to lead searchers astray.

Keep Caio França de Gouvêa Gomes as a case of Category:Redirects from long names. Delete Lúcia Massis Gouvêa de França Gomes as the redirect is a malformed attempt at her full name (Lúcia Massis de Gouvêa França Gomes). Frank(has DemoCracy DeprivaTion) 09:47, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

Hotchips

[edit]

No idea what Hotchips have to do with the IEEE. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 12:59, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

This isn't a notable conference, and it is named Hot Chips, not Hotchips. And if Hot Chips redirect to French fries, so should Hotchips. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:38, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Retarget to French fries, the target of hot chips. No opposition to renominating Hot Chips, but with the uppercase, that is a separate unconnected redirect. Jay 💬 17:15, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

  • Retarget to French fries. Fries (chips) are called "hot chips" in Australia and someone could easily be searching for that just without using a space. Mclay1 (talk) 15:41, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

Bnuuy

[edit]

See previous RFDs: 1 Sep 2022 and 18 Sep 2025 UtherSRG (talk) 23:31, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

I'm amenable to having the target changed per the below discussion. - UtherSRG (talk) 17:47, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:
  • Keep: the link is a semi-plausible misspelling for "bunny" and is now discussed in the article, where it's directly relevant. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 23:39, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
    (Would it be reasonable for me to ping major contributors to the article and people who have commented on the redirect before?) – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 23:41, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
    You can ping all participants in the two past RfD discussions or other relevant discussions, or a broad swath of major contributors to Rabbit, if you think that would benefit the project. Selectively rallying editors who have added and advocated for bnuuy content would of course be inappropriate. —Myceteae🍄‍🟫 (talk) 19:04, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
    Mentioning @Reconrabbit as the biggest contributor to rabbit (and bunny-related content on Wikipedia in general). – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 17:33, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
    I don't think there is much precedent for a wiktionary redirect among internet slang (wikt:fops doesn't have a soft redirect because fop exists and wikt:amogus is too famous and already fairly internet-centric, warranting the redirect amogus), and for a topic with such a large breadth (a polyphyletic clade of mammals that have influenced culture since the Roman Empire and maybe before it) the sourcing is a little weak for a whole section about a misspelling. Not that I have a hare in this race (see dodent which is a somewhat more plausible misspelling than bnuuy IMO but might find itself at RfD eventually). -- Reconrabbit 18:33, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment. Just a quick note that the new mention at the target alluded to above is a pretty gross misrepresentation of the source -- the article currently says: "In internet memes, a rabbit is often called a "bnuuy", a deliberate humorous misspelling of "bunny".[214]" While all the source says is "Indonesian artist Bnuuy (a popular internet slang for “Bunny”) is taking matters into her own hands ..." and that's it. If anyone here thinks this should be kept, especially at the main Rabbit article, I'd urge them to source this properly to something a bit more substantial, with somewhat more to say on the topic first. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 05:57, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
    Agree that is inadequate sourcing. The entire section is weak and does not demonstrate notability of the meme phenomena relative to the subject of rabbits. —Myceteae🍄‍🟫 (talk) 15:29, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
    a popular internet slang for “Bunny” is being cited for the claim In internet memes, a rabbit is often called a "bnuuy" here; I don't think that's a "gross misrepresentation of the source". If you think the citation should be moved up to the first clause to be more clear what's being cited to this source, that's fine. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 02:56, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete and consider salting due to repeated re-creation and inappropriate addition of content to the target article in an attempt to justify its existence. The meme is entirely non-notable and in no way suitable for inclusion at Rabbit. I have removed the internet and meme culture from Rabbit. I agree with IP35 that the source for "bnuuy" did not support the statement made. A Google News search for "bnuuy" turns up only one hit, this from WP:KNOWYOURMEME, which doesn't even mention "bnuuy". This is a remarkable lack of coverage. Even obscure memes will sometimes have a handful of stories in reliable-ish sources (and a few such stories do not establish notability). —Myceteae🍄‍🟫 (talk) 18:47, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
    Salting seems a bit extreme given it's been recreated exactly once. (With an unrelated undeletion requested by another user per Wikipedia:SOFTDELETE.) I added the content since I think rabbit-related internet memes are notable enough to deserve 2-3 sentences in a section about rabbits in culture, which doesn't strike me as all that unreasonable. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 18:24, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
    I disagree about the notability and have responded to you at Talk:Rabbit#Rabbits in internet memes. I agree with Reconrabbit's statements above that the sourcing and overall coverage is extremely limited relative to the other cultural depictions of rabbits in the article. —Myceteae🍄‍🟫 (talk) 18:49, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: @Consarn, Steel1943, and Rosguill: Ping for all participants of the previous RFDs. - UtherSRG (talk) 00:02, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

    You missed @Freedom4U and @RossEvans19, I think. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 17:45, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
    I had only pinged the participants of the previous RFDs. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:57, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
  • delete as just plain ol' unmentioned. again. mild opposition towards salting, since i don't think it's unlikely that someone will find a good source someday consarn (talck) (contirbuton s) 00:05, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
    Do you agree with the deletion of this section? If the section is restored, do you think the redirect should be kept? – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 18:11, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
    yeah, it's not really due here. no opposition to retargeting to wiktionary, by the way consarn (talck) (contirbuton s) 22:24, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete. Alphabet soup. Steel1943 (talk) 00:54, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
    Could you clarify what you mean, or why you think that means it should be deleted? Keep in mind WP:IDLI. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 18:05, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Retarget to wikt:bnuuy where it's explained. -- Tavix (talk) 03:51, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
    No objections to soft redirect. If not redirected, do you think it should be deleted or kept as a redirect to Rabbit? – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 17:32, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Soft redirect to wikt:bnuuy. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 16:49, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

  • Comment: I'd like to note precedent from previous internet meme redirects of silly animal names: doggo, birb, kitteh. (In general, popular memes seem to link to Wiktionary, e.g. eepy.) – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 02:36, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

Highly implausible "misspelling" of Tampa. I don't believe this redirect has any use; has been hit once in the last 30 days (aside from mine nominating it). The Bushranger One ping only 06:07, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

Frozen desert

[edit]

Unsure if the typo for the food is the primary intended meaning for readers, or if it should instead point to something like Desert climate#Cold desert climates which discusses freezing that occurs in desert climates. What do others think? Left guide (talk) 05:57, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

  • Keep A reasonable question, but it seems much more likely that this is indeed a typo or misspelling. If "frozen desert" were the most common term for a specific type of desert, this would be a more difficult call. --BDD (talk) 02:37, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

Tree Dollar

[edit]

Redirect created by User:Winnebaggo whose creations are being discussed. This doesn't appear to be a likely search term, although Google searches for "Tree Dollar" do indeed bring results for Dollar Tree, I can't find anything to suggest that it is a common name for DT, slang or otherwise.

Mariz Ricketts

[edit]
Previous AfDs for this article:

Actress mentioned at several pages. incuding Asawa ng Asawa Ko, Stolen Life (Philippine TV series), Apoy sa Langit and Ikaw Sana. This redirect should be deleted per WP:REDLINK. Also see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mariz Ricketts each resulting in redirect. ~2025-32058-96 (talk) 02:52, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

PlayStation 7

[edit]

Far too soon. I don't think this will be necessary at all until at least the PS6's release. There is also no guarantee that the PS7 will have that name or be released at all. Both of these points also apply to PlayStation 6 to a lesser extent, but I think that redirect is probably fine as it is. I am RedoStone (talk) 01:20, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

Michael Kovach

[edit]

Subject has mentioned about not being apart of the Hazbin Hotel Cast anymore, being replaced by Blake Roman, and already has another large role as Jax in The Amazing Digital Circus. Should make sense for 'Michael Kovach' to redirect to the Jax section in the TADC article rather than the Hazbin Hotel article. ConeKota (talk) 00:54, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

Redirect per nomination. I agree with your reasoning. ElToAn123 (talk) 07:52, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
I'm also fine with this redirect as well. I think the redirect target should be The Amazing Digital Circus#Main. Historyday01 (talk) 12:54, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
