• Fpoon → Spork  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

This is terminology that was created primarily from a Key & Peele sketch. Searching for "fpoon" brings up exclusively K&P related videos and the urban dictionary citing them. While this might be a portmanteau of "fork" and "spoon", this is not a widely accepted or cited synonym, and is not mentioned at the target. The common and non-confusing name for this subject is "spork"; a lack of pageviews indicate that "fpoon" may be a novel and obscure synonym for the subject, and is likely to confuse readers. Especially so as "fpoon" is not a real word, or particularly grammatical. People who use this term may very well be looking for the Continental Breakfast K&P sketch, lol. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 08:18, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I do know Key & Peele are hardly the first to come up with this portmanteau. My Elementary School came up with this term (to roarous laughter) sometime in the mid 2000's, significantly predating Key & Peele's coining, and I would have to guess we got it from somewhere just as they did. Conceptually, the jump to a inverted portmanteau is pretty simple, and while it may not be a word I draw serious issues with litigating the legitimacy of a word in a Wikipedia RfD log. Considering there is no central authority for accepted language in English, the fact that Googling the term provides several results (no mater how focused on one subject they may be) is, I think, enough of a reason to say it is a word. Beyond all of that, fpoon is no more grammatical then spork, we're just used to spork. (yes, the fp is not a frequently found constant grouping in English, but novel use of a constant group is hardly cause to call something not a word, if it was than vroom, vlog, dreamt, and bulb are all in trouble (vr, vl, mt, and lb respectively)). Foxtrot620 (talk) 14:39, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete "It's funny" and "people have come up with it before" are not valid arguments to retain the redirect. There has to be some evidence of common usage to refer to sporks in that way, which there isn't. See also WP:NOTNEO for more details. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:34, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep. Meh, it's a somewhat plausible {{R from incorrect name}}, and its existence potentially prevents this title from being recreated. (That, and I doubt that the invention of a fork with a spoon-like end, like a handle, four-prong with three holes, then curved end, which is what I picture a "fpoon" being, makes any sense to invent.) Steel1943 (talk) 21:25, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Delete. Just realized I'm actually thinking of the more likely search term "Foon", which is a redirect to a different target that has a hatnote referring readers to Spork. This nominated redirect is nonsense due to the inclusion of the "p". Steel1943 (talk) 16:45, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep - I'm shocked foon doesn't redirect to spork, as I've definitely heard that one a lot. Fpoon doesn't seem far off from that, and I don't really think the target is ambiguous... surely Key and Peele aren't the only ones to have ever used the term.

• Delete. If this were plausible for any utensil, it would be a spoon with long s, i.e. ſpoon. Even then I don't think it useful; we shouldn't go around creating "f" redirects for every word with an initial or medial "s" merely because someone might confuse an old long-s spelling with an f-spelling. fpork wouldn't make sense for the current target even with a long-s, especially since the long s fell out of favour before the spork was invented in 1874.

• Comment Disclosure: I was working on Wimbledon F.C. article and decided to remove unnecessary pipes to football teams per MOS:NOPIPE, at which point I discovered that Wokingham Town was the only one that created a redlink, i.e. it redirected to neither the football team nor the town itself. So I just went ahead and created a redirect, as there was one lacking. Rodney Baggins (talk) 16:54, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  NOPIPE doesn't mean piped links are bad and should be avoided; it just means not go out of your way to avoid one if the linked term naturally redirects where you want already anyway, not that you specifically need to make a redirect just to have it.

• Keep people including "Town" would likely be looking for the football team, you would use just "Wokingham" is looking for the town its self. As noted on the talk page this is standard. Settlements do not normally include (and are unlikely to be searched for) the common noun that they are unless disambiguation is needed from another type of place like Mexico City (from the country) and Swanley Village (from the town). See User:Crouch, Swale/Called v is and where. Wokingham (town) would be how we would disambiguate if local disambiguation was needed. Crouch, Swale (talk) 22:10, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I struggle to think that someone would write out "Wokingham Town" while looking for a town, any more than they would write "Pablo Picasso Painter" or "France Country". If they do, there can be a hatnote on the page, like on Leicester City F.C. pointing to the city of Leicester. Unknown Temptation (talk) 13:21, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  For ambiguous terms, that's why we have disambiguations. It's fine to disagree with retargeting, but it's incredibly easy to understand why someone might search this if searching for the town. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:05, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes the parish's council is "Wokingham Town Council" but that's standard for parishes that have town status.

Suggested decision: Retarget to Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not Fandom. WP:WPINFD and WP:WPINWA already target that page, which explains the differences between Wikipedia and Fandom, but this redirect is still targeting the policy on that Wikipedia is not a social network, just like treating anyone who slaps unnotable fancruft with indiscriminate collections of information just like on Fandom^[hyperbole] as someone who is using Wikipedia as a social network. 67.209.128.85 (talk) 15:53, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia now has an essay explaining that it is not Fandom. The current target of these redirects is outdated, so i was obligated to ask for consensus before doing any deliberate redirect target changes. 67.209.128.85 (talk) 17:35, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I agree that the current target should have a hatnote if we were to keep this redirect.

  I propose it should look something like this:

  {{Redirect2|WP:NOTFANDOM|WP:NOTWIKIA|the essay explaining that Wikipedia is not Fandom|Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not Fandom}}

  Which would appear as:

  "WP:NOTFANDOM" and "WP:NOTWIKIA" redirect here. For the essay explaining that Wikipedia is not Fandom, see Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not Fandom.

  67.209.128.85 (talk) 12:41, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep widely used already, and this concerns POLICY, which is of much higher import than any other rules. An ESSAY is not even a rule, and thus will be widely misleading as it makes any arguments using the shortcut expecting policy result in an argument that means nothing, as essays are ultimately not WIDE CONSENSUS created polices. -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 05:12, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Policy should be a higher priority than essays --Lenticel ^(talk) 00:36, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget. When Wikipedia users appeal to an argument by linking to it, it's crucial that the link to that argument be preserved, even if it is later rejected by consensus, because that link is part of the user's statement and is essential for understanding what they are saying. Unfortunately, it's not clear to me that saying WP:NOTWIKIA or WP:NOTFANDOM is saying anything in particular, other than the implicit "That content would be acceptable on Fandom, but is not acceptable on Wikipedia." I say this based on review of both the target and a sample of inbound links. There is no relevant content at the target, except for "If you are interested in using the wiki technology for a collaborative effort on something else, ... many free and commercial sites provide wiki/web hosting". Most editors here seems concerned about downgrading from a policy page to an essay, but this statement doesn't make any authoritative pronouncement about what is or isn't allowed or should or shouldn't be done. I think we should target the best expression of the referenced argument. I'm not overly impressed by Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not Fandom. It's a simple comparison page, and doesn't make a specific argument, but I think if we are to try to understand the views of those who link to WP:FANDOM, it's better than WP:NOT.

Unused redirect aside from a single sandbox. Obscure brand used by the company on publishing games in North America which are attributed to HAL Laboratory in the games' articles. MimirIsSmart (talk) 07:50, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't think anyone's lamenting over the loss of this redirect, not even the creator of the sandbox. Someone-123-321 (I contribute) 12:01, 30 November 2024 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Someone-123-321 (talk • contribs) [reply]

• Template:Use Myanmar English → Myanmar English  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Cross-namespace redirect, apparently created in error. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:26, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment since Myanmar English exists, we could just make a template similar to other {{Use X English}} templates that exist such as {{Use Singaporean English}} or {{Use Australian English}} -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 03:30, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Template:Country data Government of East Pakistan → Government of East Pakistan  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

This cross-namespace redirect was causing major problems at Template:Country data Provisional Government of Bangladesh, where the documentation is expecting to transclude a small template, but the article was being transcluded. – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:06, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Conservation and restoration of rail vehicles. Avoided double redirect. (non-admin closure) Cremastra ‹ u — c › 01:58, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Main Line Railway Preservation → Main line railway preservation  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Unnecessary capitalization of a two-sentence article that I had merged into a related article. MimirIsSmart (talk) 03:40, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• keep {{R from incorrect capitalization}} -- Title-Case capitalization would be an expected form to be able to be redirected if there is no proper noun topic otherwise -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 03:58, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Given that the original article already has a low amount of links in other articles, I don't believe it would be of much use anyway. MimirIsSmart (talk) 07:33, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep None of the criteria at WP:R#DELETE apply here. See also WP:CHEAP --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:46, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to Conservation and restoration of rail vehicles, which is presumably what is meant above. Given the legitimacy of Main line railway preservation, and the fact that this is capitalised in a way which makes sense, keeping it seems fine. – Michael Aurel (talk) 13:00, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
