This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on March 7, 2025.

Donut President

i don't think people seriously refer to John F. Kennedy as the "Donut President" (and google seems to back me up?) Duckmather (talk) 22:05, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Howard University Speech

way too vague, there have been lots and lots of speeches at Howard University Duckmather (talk) 22:03, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Poppy Bush

this could also refer to a literal bush of poppies, so maybe retarget to poppy? Duckmather (talk) 21:57, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

BHOII

not seeing this as an established acronym (presumably for "Barack Hussein Obama II"); the google search results are instead mostly partial title matches for various South Asian (???) names, so maybe delete? Duckmather (talk) 21:45, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kumamoto, Japan

I see this redirect has some unusual history, with its most recent edit being unilateral retargeting to its current destination a few years ago by a dead account with under fifty edits. The formatting seems more indicative of a city name than a prefecture, and I believe it should be retargeted to Kumamoto. — Anonymous 20:57, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mt ev

Based on the prefix finder page, there's a lot of articles that start with "Mount Ev". Delete as ambiguous / not an accepted / common name for Mount Everest. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:12, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mt mc

Not a common name for this mountain. Additionally, based on the prefix finder page, there's 52 articles that start with "Mount Mc". Delete as ambiguous / not being an accepted name for the mountain. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:12, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh Man

yet another very common phrase that somehow ended up as a song redirect; maybe retarget to wikt:oh man? Duckmather (talk) 20:10, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Wiktionary per nom. Editorial comment: redirects based on a common phrase, epithet, idiom or motto should never target a musical album or artist because of a song that is not notable enough to have a dedicated Wikipedia page. To me, this is a clear violation of MOS:EASTEREGG. Carguychris (talk) 22:06, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Super Mario Shirayuki-hime

Not mentioned at the target, unclear connection to the target. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:08, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Super Mario Shirayuki-hime is one of the OVAs in Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros., listed in target Aprzn (talk) 17:49, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Keep - Per Aprzn's comment. Useful redirect, targets the correct location. Mentioned in the text as saying that the OVA covers the story of "Snow White", and Shirayuki-hime is simply the Japanese translation of "Snow White"... WP:RFOR allows this. Fieari (talk) 00:27, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hitler war crime

I just created this redirect. I do not know where it should redirect. Should it redirect to Nazi Party, War crimes in World War II, or somewhere else Mast303 (talk) 18:45, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to German war crimes#World War II. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 19:19, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to war crimes subsection per Yovt. Carguychris (talk) 19:53, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Elgoog cool

Delete. This page was created in 2007 with the words "ElGoOg Is CoOl" and was later redirected to the article elgooG. It seems like a pointless redirect to me. Xoontor (talk) 18:30, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

SCP-108

Delete, because it is not mentioned in the target article. Xoontor (talk) 18:16, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why not. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 18:26, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Next queensland election

Clearly a title that needs continuous changing. Not useful as a search term as well. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 14:07, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Techno Mechanicus Musk

Per WP:BLPNAME, WP:NONAME and WP:NOTPUBLICFIGURE. Absolutiva (talk) 12:30, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Does any one actually use this?Slatersteven (talk) 12:35, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Khabardar (unreleased film)

see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2019_February_15#Khabardar_(unreleased_film) for my reasons

note that a khabardar mention has still not been added after the 6 years between the last rfd. otherwise, i would've simply specified User:Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 10:56, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ed Vezey

Delete. Subject not mentioned in target article. - \\'cԼF 05:09, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. NB: mention was only added to the article at the time of the previous RfD in 10/2019 (as last survivor alive, had died 2016); that mention was deleted in 12/2020 per WP:NOT, correctly in my view as ephemeral. - Davidships (talk) 22:34, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

South Italian

The first one most definitely ought to go to the Southern Italian disambiguation page. The other three should at the very least be consistent with each other. 1234qwer1234qwer4 03:53, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Glottolog calls Neapolitan 'Continental Southern Italian', but we def shouldn't have diff spellings going to Neapolitan and Sicilian. — kwami (talk) 04:02, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget all to Southern Italian All of these terms appear roughly equivalent, so they should point to the same place. And they all also seem ambiguous. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 04:44, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Southern Italian Languages is not ideal, but would work better than the alternatives mentioned so far. If the intent is to indicate autochthonous Romance languages only, Southern Italo-Romance is the usual label. Both Southern Italian and Southern Italian Language would very likely be interpreted by non-expert readers as referring to varieties of Italian, e.g. Italian as spoken in the south of Italy, not the indigenous languages of the area. As for Neapolitan, the language of Naples is one of the several Southern Italian Languages, i.e. part of the Southern Italo-Romance continuum. Barefoot through the chollas (talk) 05:31, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • "South Italian" is only very rarely a linguistic term - Retarget to Southern Italy. The others are linguistic, and I'll let others fight over them. Johnbod (talk) 13:47, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

False or misleading statements

Feels like having "apples or oranges" redirect to "apples". I can't really see why this was created to begin with, except to parallel False or misleading statements by Donald Trump. — Anonymous 03:44, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"False" and "misleading" are synonymous for the most part as explained with the Trump example; Keep. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 14:59, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep because this is a common phrase used to talk about false statements. Misleading statements doesn't have it's own article because it's a subset of false statements. Apples and oranges both have their own article though. KyleSirTalksAlot (talk) 15:35, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Eye twitch

Should retarget to Myokymia along with Eye twitching. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 01:59, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:X

Delete. Pointless redirect. Same with Draft:C and Draft:E. GilaMonster536 (talk) 00:19, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
