This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on January 12, 2025.

• Metropolitan city → City  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

• Metropolitan City → Metropolis  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

I think this should be returned to the previous version, but I would like a second look. I think the previous version was more helpful. Kingsmasher678 (talk) 18:16, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Which version? As a redirect to Metropolitan area, Metropolis, City proper or as a DAB. Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:35, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Oh lord I didn’t realize that there were that many other version! Either metropolitan city or DAB. Kingsmasher678 (talk) 04:35, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @Kingsmasher678: What do you mean "metropolitan city"? Metropolitan city is the redirect under discussion, not the target. Jay 💬 22:06, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Metropolis is currently at AFD. Retarget to Metropolitan area if it gets deleted (or merged, seemingly), Disambiguate if it doesn't. Tessaract2^Hi! 19:05, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Metropolitan City combined with this nomination. The closer should also be aware of the redirect Metropolitan city (disambiguation). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 18:10, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. There is no article I can identify that provides a satisfactory definition of a "metropolitan city". Uses of Metropolitan City are partial title matches, and neither Metropolitan area or Metropolis are the right target. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 19:59, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Disambiguate: Someone entering this term might be looking for metropolis, metropolitan area, or one of the countries were "metropolitan city" is a type of administrative subdivision (Korea, Italy). Furius (talk) 21:17, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Coronoidea → Blastoid  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

"Coronoidea" is not mentioned at target. A Google Scholar search shows a connection to both Blastoid/Blastozoan ([1]) and the human masseter ([2]). Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 18:02, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn't gotten around to editing the Blastoid page when some other things came up. Blastoidea (according to several more recent papers) consists of Coronoidea, Eublastoidea and two incertae sedis genera. But I haven't had the time to sort out if there's anyone arguing against that view recently (Coronoids have been placed either inside or outside of Blastoidea at different times).

What's the minimum needed here to keep this redirect?

• Oo ee oo → Hatsune Miku  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Another song lyric redirect, but this time with general sounds, not words. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 17:46, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, delete, ee leet eet Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 20:02, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Nick Begich, Jr. → List of United States political families (B)#Begiches  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

There are a lot of mentions of this guy across Wikipedia, so I'm not really sure where the best target is or if there's a good target. I would propose WP:RETURNTORED, but the article at Nick Begich (author) got deleted earlier this month, so it doesn't seem like he's notable as of now. Possible targets include the current one and HAARP#Conspiracy theories (where there are claims of a merge to at the AFD, and at least it sounds like there used to be a redirect to there, but I can't see the page history and it feels like a weird target). I would probably keep as-is, but I figured it was worth a nomination. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 16:49, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• There's four articles which appear to have discussion of this bloke from a cursory search:
  1. Nick Begich III#Early life and family – Begich was born to Nick Begich Jr., an author and business owner
  2. Tom Begich#Personal life – his brother Nick Jr., is a conspiracy theorist author, scientist, and researcher
  3. List of United States political families (B)#Begiches – Nick Begich Jr. (born 1958), candidate for Governor of Alaska 1998, candidate for Alaska state representative 2004. Son of Nick Begich and Margaret Begich and father of Nicholas Begich III
  4. High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program#Conspiracy theories – Nick Begich Jr., the son of the late U.S. Representative Nick Begich Sr., brother of former U.S. Senator Mark Begich and retired Alaska state senator Tom Begich, and father of current U.S. Representative Nick Begich III is the co-author of Angels Don't Play This HAARP
• They leave three options in my opinion: target #3, target #4, or delete to search results. I think target #3, the natural target, is best – so weak keep. There's about the same amount of info there as at target #4, but it's a redirect to a list which exists for that purpose, as opposed to the perhaps unwise profile of him before introducing his conspiracy theories as found at target #4. Search results are slightly less preferable than these two options in my opinion. J947 ‡ ^edits 23:16, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I think you meant to say target #4 is the natural target, given it's the current one? Skarmory (talk • contribs) 00:58, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  That's a fail. I've fixed it now. J947 ‡ ^edits 06:24, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep per J947. I agree that the list is probably the best target here. Perhaps a brief mention of the HAARP stuff could be added there? - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 19:21, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Dreamshell → Dreamcast  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

The unreferenced article was BLARed in 2022. Term not mentioned at the target article. Mika1h (talk) 00:45, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Maybe try retargeting to List of Linux-supported computer architectures as being closer to what the searcher would be looking for? It does mention that Linux works on Dreamcast, and Dreamshell was apparently the name of the distro that did this. Fieari (talk) 05:45, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• CNN This Morning → CNN This Morning with Kasie Hunt  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

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. All the articles that linked to that original CNN This Morning article are now redirecting to the wrong page. Any ideas? Limmidy (talk) 22:29, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Disambiguate or articl-ify like The Tonight Show. where each era has an article The Tonight Show with Jay Leno / The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson / The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien -- start with a disambiguation page, and then build out the series article -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 23:04, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Set-indexify per the IP editor. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 21:13, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. The ambiguity is resolved by the current hatnote and a link in the lead. If there are incorrect incoming links then fix them. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:56, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Keep. The hatnote seems to clear everything up. It may not have been historically important enough for the Tonight Show approach. - Suddenblast1 (talk) 00:45, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Hartawan → Ruselli Hartawan  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

Hartawan should not be redirect to Ruselli Hartawan. Hartawan mostly used in Indonesia as last name. Stvbastian (talk) 04:41, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep When there is only one person with the name on Wikipedia the procedure is to redirect it to that person. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 05:18, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Unfortunately, the redirect linking to a person name Hartawatan that did not relate to Ruselli Hartawan in the article 1997 Asian Junior Badminton Championships. Stvbastian (talk) 03:28, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Tolkienesque → The Lord of the Rings  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

This used to redirect to J. R. R. Tolkien, which seems like a much more plausible target (after all, The Lord of the Rings is not Tolkien's only major work). However, I still think a better target could be found. With thousands of results on Google Scholar, Tolkienesque fantasy seems like a plausible standalone article, and this could easily be a case of WP:RETURNTORED. Otherwise, I would suggest at the very least retargeting to Tolkien's impact on fantasy, the closest existing result. I'll go ahead and ping Chiswick Chap, for obvious reasons. Anonymous 01:27, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Retargeting seems sensible. Chiswick Chap (talk) 03:56, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would redirect to J. R. R. Tolkien.--Jack Upland (talk) 23:47, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Dawud Republic → Republic of Afghanistan (1973–1978)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

I can't find "Dawud Republic" used for the Republic of Afghanistan anywhere, though on the face of it it seems a plausible transliteration of Dauod. All hits seems to be for the album Mabon Dawud Republic. Rusalkii (talk) 00:37, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. I also could not find any hits for this phrase beyond the album, even when appending "Afghanistan" to my searches. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 19:24, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• SCCTM → Santa Claus Conquers the Martians  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

This abbreviation seems to mostly be used for the South Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics. I can't find any usage of it referring to the film. Rusalkii (talk) 00:29, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Vitamin C2 → Choline  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: //delete ] 

No presence of the term in the article. Nothing seems to show up (in the article or from searches online) that classifies Choline as anything close to a "Vitamin C2". it does say that "..Choline is not formally classified as a vitamin despite being an essential nutrient with an amino acid–like structure and metabolism..", but otherwise there is virtually nothing going for this redirect, unless I'm mistaken.
