This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on February 18, 2025.
North Auckland
- North Auckland → Northland Peninsula (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
I rather expected this to go to North Shore, New Zealand, which does not seem unreasonable. This seems to be what is generally meant by "North Auckland". Cremastra (talk) 20:58, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- Use of the term has changed from referring to the Northland Peninsula (originally meaning the northern part of Auckland Province, and still in use in the name of the railway North Auckland Line) to referring to the northern part of Auckland Region, which includes North Shore, but also Rodney (formerly Rodney District), including Hibiscus Coast. It is certainly not specific to North Shore. I am happy with a change, but I don't see an obvious good target. I think it is probably best to turn the redirect into a disambiguation page that links to at least the part match of Auckland Region and the historic match of Northland Peninsula – and perhaps more. I offer to create the dab page if it is agreed to have it. Nurg (talk) 01:51, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
- Dabify per Nurg. Worgisbor (Talking's fun!) 22:31, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
- Dabify seems like a good solution. I would certainly NOT expect North Auckland to refer to the North Shore. It has always, in my experience, referred to the Northland region. The name 'North Auckland' was used previously used by the North Auckland Rugby Union and their rep team, North Auckland, both of which now use the name 'Northland'. Paora (talk) 11:12, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
- Dabify - while I totally agree that it would seem logical for North Auckland to refer to the shore, it seems there's a lot of historic and current usage of it still with Northland so a full change doesn't really suit. For example, Northland places are still listed in the land district of "North Auckland" according to the NZGB Gazetteer, such as with Te Oneroa-a-Tōhē / Ninety Mile Beach. Turnagra (talk) 09:23, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
- Dabify without a primary topic. I never hear 'North Auckland' to refer to the North Shore, usually it is just used for parts of Rodney outside the urban area. Auckland up until the 21st century was still used to refer to the areas of the former Auckland Province (see this for example: [1] and North Auckland is often used in this reference e.g. the North Auckland Land District, North Auckland line, and some other old organisations Traumnovelle (talk) 23:57, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

Simply included in an unsourced table (the first four) or list with a single external source that mentions that the country has a national team (the latter 7), without any further details about the teams provided. Delete to encourage article creation and because anybody searching for this title won't find the information they're looking for based on the current target. Similar discussions for national kho kho teams can be found here and here. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:53, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- I recommend just leave these redirects alone. They are not causing any harm. No offence, but editors making these kind of nominations, need to find something more productive to do. The idea that deleting them will encourage new articles is just nonsense. Djln19 (talk) 20:08, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Djln19: And I recommend deleting them as misleading.
No offence, but editors making these kind of nominations, need to find something more productive to do.
– Pretty sure there's no other way to take these type of statements than offensively. I came across these while doing WP:NPP work (and being productive), and I'd argue that those creating these redirects are doing a disservice to those who are searching for the relevant terms.The idea that deleting them will encourage new articles is just nonsense.
– That's where you and a vast number of people tend to disagree. WP:RETURNTORED has led to a lot of pages being created when red links are found. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:23, 18 February 2025 (UTC)- I've stated my opinion. If you find it offensive, that tough. I could find it offensive that you nominated them for deletion. But I'll get over it. Just like I'm sure you will. Djln19 (talk) 20:32, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Djln19: I never said I found it offensive, because I very clearly know I'm not wasting my time doing NPP work. I'm stating that making a statement under the guise of "no offense", when clearly stating something that cannot be taken any other way than as personally offensive, is a rather silly way to go about things. It's something that should be considered when choosing your words in the words, as that's not going to make you friends or allow for proper constructive conversations in some contexts. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:39, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

Clearly other editors who created similar redirects think the same. Djln19 (talk) 21:06, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. There is no useful information at the targets. Redlinks are preferable here, especially given that the existence of the redirects has led to a number of circular links. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 21:07, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget (or keep) All to List of national netball teams. The Men's netball#Men's national teams article does not seem to be the right target here. Now, I hear the argument that List of national netball teams contains no useful information, but I would argue that it does, in fact, provide a bit of useful information-- one, that the teams exist and are registered with the "International Netball Federation", and two, that they are competing against everything else on the list for the Netball World Cup. Sparse as that information is, it's not nothing, and I see no reason to make it harder to find this information that we have. Fieari (talk) 05:48, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
- I oppose retargeted for the exact same reason I nominated them for deletion. Simply stating they exist is doing a disservice, as it provides no additional information except that they exist. It doesn't tell us anything about whether they actually compete or not. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:17, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Team Reptile
- Team Reptile → Lethal League (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
They have made multiple games and neither is a good target; given they do not appear notable, I would suggest deletion of the redirect. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:00, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete My gut says to make it a disambiguation page that links both Lethal League and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, but I doubt that's appropriate, so I guess delete in the absence of a better option. Searching "Team Reptile" will bring both games up as the first result, which is probably good enough. Taffer😊 💬(she/they) 17:09, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- It's not, disambiguation pages are not a search index but a split between two or more identically-named topics. For example, if there was "Team Reptile (company)" and "Team Reptile (sports)" it would be a valid place for a DAB. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:27, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
Dynamic Zombie Sandbox
- Dynamic Zombie Sandbox → Arma 2 (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Mod not mentioned at target page, became a redirect as a result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dynamic Zombie Sandbox just in case it ever became notable, but it doesn't seem like it 13 years later. Nutshinou Talk! 14:51, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
Build that wall
- Build that wall → Mexico–United States border wall#First Trump administration (2017–2021) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Previously pertinent section doesn't exist anymore. Redirect lemma as such not included now. Hildeoc (talk) 06:49, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- Comment I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that, can you explain it to me? CheeseyHead (talk) 17:56, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to 2016 United States presidential election#Notable expressions, phrases, and statements. That is where Lock her up and I'm with her (slogan) currently already redirect to. Not sure if there's an established precedent for where slogans not notable enough to have their own article should redirect to but it seems to work here.
- Also, whatever decision is arrived at here, it should also be applied to Build the wall too. //Lollipoplollipoplollipop::talk 17:57, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to 2016 United States presidential election#Notable expressions, phrases, and statements as per Lollipop's reasoning above. The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 11:30, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- I agree – Retarget. Hildeoc (talk) 22:28, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. It's just a variation of "build the wall", part of a phrase that's quoted in the current target section. An erroneous versions of a quotation, as long as it's plausible, is a good redirect to a place where the correct version is discussed. For example, Extremism in Defense of Liberty is No Vice => Barry Goldwater#1964 Republican National Convention is good, even though the correct phrase begins with "extremism in the defense".

- Comment - Anyone else's first thought to retarget to Bastion (video game)#Music? No? Just me? I' don't strongly oppose the proposed target, as it is a minor variation of a pretty major potentially WP:PTOPIC thing... but the Bastion soundtrack has an absolute banger of a track with exactly this title. I don't even like the game that much and yet I love the song... Fieari (talk) 06:11, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- Disambiguate Besides the Darren Korb song, there is also a song by Aimee Mann of that title on Magnolia (soundtrack). Tracks by Anal Trump and The Cash Box Kings also exist, but are not mentioned, so far. Paradoctor (talk) 11:50, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

- Disambiguate the capitalized version per others. I also thought of the Bastion song before even going to the border wall. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:02, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. "Build that wall" isn't "Build the wall". Build a disambiguation page if you want, but that page shouldn't include the current target article, because the phrase isn't mentioned there (for good reason). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:53, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

Misleading. There is no evidence that Yakamoz S-245 was ever called Into the Deep. Paradoctor (talk) 11:10, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

No official or reliable sources use this name, except for a few WP:CIRCULAR references that have copied it from the Wikipedia article over the past few years. —Prince of Erebor(The Book of Mazarbul) 16:45, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Females Uncut
- Females Uncut → KLAA (AM) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
Radio show to radio station redirect, for a show not named in the radio station's article to provide any context for why it redirects there. To be fair, there was content about the show in the station article in 2014 when this was first redirected, but it's long since been removed for lacking any sourcing to establish its significance, so reverting it back into the article wouldn't be the solution.

April 20, 1999
- April 20, 1999 → Columbine High School massacre (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: //delete ]
A date title that redirects to a specific incident (Columbine High School massacre), not a likely search term for someone seeking that incident, not a likely linking term for a page that references the incident, not used by any existing Wikipedia pages, and a bit of a surprise if anyone is looking for general information on that date (in contrast to, say, April 20 1969, which points to a list of events on that date.) Its presence encourages people to link unrelated items to Columbine; I just removed an IP-added linking of the date of a corporate bankruptcy filing to that unrelated event. Nat Gertler (talk) 03:30, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete This redirect has only been followed six times in the last thirty days. I think it's fine to delete. And per nom, it's confusing! Davemc0 (talk) 06:29, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete Redirects from a date to a specific event should only happen in REALLY rare circumstances (mostly those to do with the September 11 attacks) User:Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 08:38, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: I don't see any problem here. The Columbine massacre is one of the most documented mass shootings in the US (and that's saying a lot), and as a result this date is strongly associated with that event. The page 1999 doesn't list any other events that occurred on 20 April. Redirects from specific dates are not really rare, see 7 July 2005, November 13, 2015, January 6, 2021 (there's an entire category dedicated to those redirects, and it's woefully incomplete). Dsuke1998AEOS (talk) 00:46, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per nom and Someone-123-321's rationale. For what it's worth, I strongly disagree with the "delete" rational presented by Davemc0 at the beginning of their comment since a redirect being "followed", "viewed", etc. a small amount is not a reason to delete a redirect if the target is correct and/or the most helpful. Steel1943 (talk) 02:23, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep as the primary topic. It doesn't appear anything else notable happened that day. -- Tavix (talk) 15:28, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. Hardly a worldwide-critical incident. Perhaps it's the most important thing that happened on that date, but these date-to-event redirects shouldn't exist for local events. Heaps of people worldwide are aware of the London bombings, the Paris attacks, and Trump's attempted coup, but putting a US school shooting on the same plane with them is a severe exaggeration.

Tenet (2022 film)

This is a purely incorrect title. The target film was released in 2020. I doubt anyone would be looking for any irregularities, unless time actually was reversed (kidding, obviously). Trailblazer101 (talk) 00:34, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
