Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2025 January 6

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on January 6, 2025.

Androidism

Confusing term defined by Wiktionary as "the quality of being an android". At the very best, it might get a soft redirect there, but it seems unnecessary given the obscurity of this term. Anonymous 22:25, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Suck my cock

“My” specifically refers to something of one person. Probably used more as an insult, like Suck my dick, which is a non existent and salted page. Heyaaaaalol (talk) 22:14, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Crosswiki redirect to Wiktionary's page suck my cock. -insert valid name here- (talk) 23:44, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Discovery Channel Canada

On January 1, 2025, Discovery Channel in Canada was rebranded to USA Network by Bell Media. At the same time, a new Discovery Channel was launched, but owned by Rogers Media. Someone recently retargeted this to the new Discovery, but I'm not sure this is a good idea.

Many articles already link to this redirect in the context of the "old" Discovery Channel, particularly when mentioning Mayday (Canadian TV program). So I'm wondering, should this redirect instead stick with the "old" Discovery Channel given its usage? Limmidy (talk) 22:03, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to disambiguation. Heyaaaaalol (talk) 22:17, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Great Western Park

Ambiguous: it is also a park in Windsor [1] and Montreal [2], among other places [3]. This is just a pretty ambiguous name and a small town in Oxfordshire doesn't necessarily occupy the WP:PTOPIC. I suggest deletion Cremastra (u — c) 21:51, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I follow the point that is being made here. It's a reasonable point that if there's no primary topic then it it should be disambiguated between the multiple places of the name. Why would that lead to suggesting deletion? Chessrat (talk, contributions) 22:14, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Cremastra: I just realized the likely misunderstanding behind your suggestion of deletion: despite the name, Great Western Park is not a park! It is the name of a settlement, located within the Western Valley civil parish within Vale of White Horse (which was split from the Harwell civil parish in 2023). It is currently the only settlement in the Western Valley civil parish, but the Valley Park housing development which is being constructed is also part of that civil parish. It's not administered as a part of Didcot, though, which makes me realize that it should either be a redirect to Western Valley or a disambiguation page- or be fleshed out into an actual article. Chessrat (talk, contributions) 22:44, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Or on second thoughts... the fact that Great Western Park North and Great Western Park South are administered as part of Didcot/South Oxfordshire, and it's only the central part of Great Western Park that's in Vale of White Horse, probably means that a standalone article is needed, because neither a redirect to Didcot nor a redirect to Western Valley are fully accurate. Chessrat (talk, contributions) 22:48, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the clarification about what the Oxfordshire Great Western Park is. I proposed deletion instead of disambiguation because not all the other things are mentioned on Wikipedia. The Windsor one is nicely discussed here, but the Montreal one doesn't seem to have coverage. This is why I brought it to RfD. Cremastra (u — c) 23:17, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Baltimore

either retarget to WP:WikiProject Maryland/Baltimore task force or WP:Meetup/Baltimore or disambiguate; it's weird to point to one specific meetup and no incoming links. charlotte 👸🎄 02:20, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Land drainage (disambiguation)

Now that Land drainage (disambiguation) has been merged into Drainage by @Klbrain:, this title is no longer required (noting it has history as a disambiguation page rather than as an article) because the target is not a disambiguation page. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 20:13, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sridevi (upcoming film)

This is an {{R from move}} but is misleading and ambiguous (with Sreedevi (film)). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 19:49, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Archimedean order

There is also Archimedean ordered field. 1234qwer1234qwer4 19:16, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Polydendri forest

Wrong redirection. Polydendri forest is not the same with Skiti, village. The article for this item simply does not exist in Wikipedia. Users refuse to speedy delete the redirection. Lord Mountbutter (talk) 19:13, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Arab Democratic Republic

I believe the redirect from Arab Democratic Republic to Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic is not appropriate. This redirect targets a specific instance from a general term. Many Arab republics have labeled themselves as democratic, such as the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen and the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria. The redirect should either be deleted or replaced with a disambiguation page. РоманЖ (talk) 10:38, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment could point to Arab Republic and itemize there -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 12:26, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I agree with the nom: this partial title match is not an appropriate redirect. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 21:24, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I don't think I've ever seen a plain "Arab Democratic Republic" refer to the Sahrawi Republic, but on the other hand googling "Arab Democratic Republic" brings up nothing but the Sahrawi Republic, and if you exclude Sahrawi the results just pop up other spellings of Sahrawi, and so on as you exclude more and more spelling variations till eventually I found a Yemen reference about six exclusions deep. CMD (talk) 04:01, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    That is exactly what I initially did before creating this redirect, which is precisely why I created it. Moreover, the Democratic Republic of Algeria is not solely Arab; many Berbers and other non-Arab groups also live there. Yemen, on the other hand, could indeed be referred to as an Arab Republic. Therefore, I now support some form of disambiguation or retargeting to the Arab Republic page, but I still oppose deletion. Cuvaj (talk) 09:18, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fish fish fish fish fish

Target section vanished + not mentioned in article anymore (Ctrl+Fing "fish fish fish fish fish" in target article shows no results). If this redirect gets deleted, it should be put on WP:DAFT. 67.209.128.64 (talk) 17:24, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Add a mention in List of linguistic example sentences and retarget Seems to be a common example sentence to demonstrate syntax [5] Ca talk to me! 02:21, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Despacito 2

Not mentioned in the target article. Delete. -1ctinus📝🗨 15:19, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:POPULARITY and per nom. Non-notable meme. 67.209.128.64 (talk) 17:29, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete 2. Placing "2" after random names is a meme for numerous things (see Sex 2 on Know Your Meme). Thus, implausible redirect. -insert valid name here- (talk) 23:48, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
i can't believe sex 2 is a pc98 game consarn (speak evil) (see evil) 11:18, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
retarget to siivagunner, life, death, undertale, every article on every deific figure of every religion ever, despicable me, snow halation, and death again, all at the same time. despacito 2 is a universal constant

Ambient jungle

Article has previously linked to a sub-section of the Jungle music article about sub-genres. That section no longer exists and there is no term "Ambient jungle" or any similar term on the page. Term for a genre or sub-genre of this does not appear to be in common use. Andrzejbanas (talk) 15:04, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Woah, ass ahoy!

This catchphrase is not mentioned in the target article, so I doubt this makes it a plausable redirect. Delete. -1ctinus📝🗨 14:41, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Annals of Clinical Cardiology

Can this redirect be deleted, please? An editor has created Journal Annals of Clinical Cardiology, which properly needs to moved to this title. BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 12:54, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support deletion (in preparation for a move), or more directly 'move over redirect' (Journal Annals of Clinical Cardiology to Annals of Clinical Cardiology. Note that this is the same journal as intended by the existing redirect. That is, Annals of Clinical Cardiology currently points to List of Medknow Publications academic journals#A, but Medknow is now part of Wolters Kluwer (the publisher listed at Journal Annals of Clinical Cardiology). Klbrain (talk) 13:09, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Guam"

Not mentioned at target, should be deleted per the recent deletion of "Israel". 🐔 Chicdat  Bawk to me! 12:38, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bundaist

Refers to Bundaism, which was apparently made up one day around 2006. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bundaism. SilverLocust 💬 07:46, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Texvc

I removed the mention from the target in Special:Diff/1267682290. The name of the parser that an optional Math extension to the MediaWiki software used six years ago is undue trivia. * Pppery * it has begun... 05:14, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

Liu Yali (skier)

Target article does not mention this athlete. Target page only names medallists in this event not all competitors. LibStar (talk) 02:52, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese role-playing

This redirect simply makes no sense. It can refer to role-playing in general, but it still wouldn't make sense. There aren't any other pages it can go to either so I suggest it be deleted. It has a few links leading to it, but those can be fixed. CheeseyHead (talk) 01:19, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Red Iron"

WP:UNNATURAL quotation marks; none of the subjects listed at the target disambiguation page are called "Red Iron". Created by a page move with the edit summary remove the unintended quotation marks. jlwoodwa (talk) 00:27, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy delete as G7. Per the edit summary, not intended to have been placed at this title. The mover is also the creator of the disambiguation page, and the only person to edit the page. Seems to be safely deleteable as it has been recognized as an error. Utopes (talk / cont) 00:42, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    G6 has been declined for this redirect in the past on grounds of there being pageviews. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 01:24, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
G7 does not depend on pageviews. As long as the sole primary author wants something removed from Wikipedia, and the edit summary says they do, the request should be obliged per WP:G7. Utopes (talk / cont) 16:04, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If this is only about deleting the redirect, I should have no problem. This might have been my first disambiguation or a cut and paste error when I first created it. As for the apparent use, it might be an interwiki link that was made to the original name, but I'll have to look into that later tonight.
If I might comment on the present disambiguation, it probably needs some work, both for style and for red links to articles that have been moved, deleted, or modified, but this may not be the time and place.
IveGoneAway (talk) 17:09, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the decliner of the G6 realized that G7 was applicable, i.e. that the disambig and the redirect were created by the same person. The creator of both pages is here in this RfD saying that there's no problem for the redirect to go as a cut and paste error. A declined G6 does not mean G7 is off the table.
