I suggest it be turned into a DAB with:

• Umayyad Caliphate
• Abbasid Caliphate
• Fatimid Caliphate
• Ayyubid dynasty
• Almoravid dynasty
• Almohad Caliphate
• Muslim period in the Indian subcontinent
• Ottoman Empire
• Mamluk Sultanate

What do you think? Veverve (talk) 16:55, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. This is trickier. Hard to define where this list would end. The Mamluks and Ottoman Empire, for instance, would definitely need adding, and there were quite a few Indian Empires - not sure it's balanced for these to be grouped. Iskandar323 (talk) 17:33, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. I have added the two of them to the list. Veverve (talk) 17:45, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I'm not sure what difference a DAB would make over a list. Any entry on the DAB will already be listed at the current target. Also, as Iskandar323 notes, how would we define "empire" versus "state" or "dynasty"? - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 18:32, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @Presidentman and An anonymous username, not my real name: so you believe Muslim empire and Muslim Empire should not have the same target?

  What about Islamic empire (disambiguation) which should not be kept in any way (WP:NCDAB)? Veverve (talk) 06:40, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Fair enough. In that case I will amend my vote to keep all except for Muslim Empire which should be retargeted to match the rest and Islamic empire (disambiguation) which should be deleted. An anonymous username, not my real name 15:46, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was move to She-Hulk (Jennifer Susan Walters) per the discussion and an indication that the 2004 history (a single diff) should be kept. This was not a copy/paste pagemove, so a histmerge is not appropriate, hence the alternate option. Primefac (talk) 17:12, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• She-Hulk/Temp → She-Hulk  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

2004 attempt at a duplicate article. Improbable title. No significant history besides the initial creation and redirect, which should have been cleared at the time. Likely delete. TNstingray (talk) 15:08, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Move to She-Hulk (Jennifer Susan Walters) to distinguish from She-Hulk (Lyra) as a {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}. This was the first article, not an attempt at a duplicate. Peter James (talk) 09:51, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since it was the first article, it can be history merged to She-Hulk. No need to bury it in an obscure redirect. -- Tavix ^(talk) 16:35, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Move per Peter James. The pre-redirect content was merged to the target, it was not a cut-and-paste move. The target was started independently, and had more content and history than the source at the time of the merge. The source was a temporary/working version stub which was an attempt to replace the first version which was marked/deleted as a copyvio. It'll be wrong to do a history merge. Jay 💬 08:27, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• History merge the revision from 22:08, 3 August 2004‎ to She-Hulk and delete the rest of the revisions. This is the first attempt at a She-Hulk article, and this can and should be documented in the history of the She-Hulk article. As I mentioned earlier, I oppose a move to an obscure redirect. This would bury the history, and in a location the author did not intend their work to be. -- Tavix ^(talk) 18:27, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• History merge and delete, per above. — The Anome (talk) 22:47, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Move per Jay. Just for clarity, my understanding of the timeline is:
  • She-Hulk created (admin only) on 8 July 2004
  • Gtrmp tags it as a copyvio (admin only) at 21:47, 3 August 2004.
  • Gtrmp creates She-Hulk/Temp at 22:08, 3 August 2004‎.
  • Nite Mirror creates She-Hulk at 01:13, 4 September 2004.
  • Gtrmp expands She-Hulk at 03:24, 4 September 2004. None of the wording is exactly copied from the /Temp subpage.
  • SoM copies the /Temp content to She-Hulk at 22:07, 9 February 2005 (without attribution).

  So I agree with Jay that this was not a cut-and-paste move, but a standard merge. This was not the first attempt at a She-Hulk article, rather the second. It's unclear why Gtrmp didn't do the merge themselves on 4 Sept 2004, but a history merge now would be incorrect from what I can tell. Legoktm (talk) 04:39, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  One other suggestion, if there's not a clear consensus here it might be worth listing this at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge, or soliciting input from the regulars there on whether this qualifies for a history merge or not. Legoktm (talk) 04:43, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Garfield Bound for Home → Garfield  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Game referred to by redirect was never released, does not exist, apparently was planned but was quietly cancelled, and is not mentioned at the target page nor in the List of garfield video games. There are three known, dubious sources for it, [1] [2] [3] which are used to support coverage of the topic on the Garfield Fandom wiki and the Dutch-language Wikipedia, but they get some key facts wrong and they do not appear reliable (a recent Quinton Reviews video exists that deconstructs this fairly thoroughly - though said video, while interesting, is obviously also not a reliable source, and even if it was, it doesn't reveal anything which would prove notability if it were published in a reliable source). As the topic of the redirect never existed outside of a single ad and is not a topic of any coverage in reliable sources, this redirect has no basis for existing and should be deleted. silvia (BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4) (inquire within) 20:43, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep my wife's name out your fuckin mouth → Will Smith–Chris Rock slapping incident  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

While the term does have meaning at the target, I think it's an unlikely search term. Therefore I think it might meet WP:RDELETE under #8? I would also like to note that this redirect is missing the "g" at the end of the fucking so it's even more unlikely than the actual direct quote. It's possible that I'm wrong about this so I have no objections to a speedy keep if people disagree. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 00:40, 11 February 2023 (UTC), edited 00:53, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(Disclaimer: creator) I'm thinking that at least in America, it's pretty common to omit the "g" at the end of verbs, especially in casual speak. One could even argue that in Smith's quote, he didn't say "fucking" but rather "fuckin". I think this would be a case of a WP:CHEAP redirect. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 01:16, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, on second thought, I agree. TIL that G dropping exists so this isn't a typo. If the direct quote is considered a relevant redirect than I can see why this one would be too.

The result of the discussion was retarget to Micronesians#Kiribati people. There is agreement that the language redirect is incorrect. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 09:36, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know anything about Micronesian syntax, but do Ikiribati and I-Kiribati actually refer to distinct subjects or are they both ambiguous? —Lights and freedom (talk ~ contribs) 00:03, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Should be rd's to the people. Per the dict here, i- is a prefix "to names of places or categories. note. It designates persons originating or living in those places or members of these categories. Always a capital letter in this case and separate from the word. ex. te I-Buranti: a Frenchman." — kwami (talk) 00:31, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To my knowledge Ikiribati refers to the ethnic group, using it to refer to the language as well is a mistake. --Glennznl (talk) 09:58, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
