January 14

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on January 14, 2022.

"Get Morebooks!"

Each of these is apparently either an imprint or trade name used by OmniScriptum or an author who's published with them. None of them are mentioned in the target, though, so the reader is left none the wiser as to the connection between the term and the target (lists of imprints were in the article at the time the redirects were created). Several are additionally ambiguous, e.g. The (imprint) or Part Press, and several like these that are based on common words don't turn up any Google results indicating any connection at all (though others do). – Arms & Hearts (talk) 13:38, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Paul (singer)

• Paul (singer) → Paul Stookey  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete per WP:RFD#DELETE: The redirect page makes it unreasonably difficult for users to locate similarly named articles via the search engine One could imagine someone searching for Paul McCartney, sometimes referred to mononymously as "Paul" among Beatles fandom. What about other Paul's with given name or surname? It's not too unreasonable to expect a reader being able to search Peter, Paul and Mary for this "Paul". —Bagumba (talk) 13:16, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stan (fan)

• Stan (fan) → Stan (song)#Legacy  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This was the result of a merge to Fan (person), targeting the resulting section Fan_(person)#"Stan"_fans as the outcome of requested move discussion and was recently boldly retargeted to its current target. I suggest it should be retargeted back to the target of the merge, where more detail exists. Mdewman6 (talk) 21:01, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reich Ministry of Justice

• Reich Ministry of Justice → Federal Ministry of Justice (Germany)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The topic is not covered on the linked article besides a bare mention. I think it should be deleted to encourage article creation (see de:Reichsjustizministerium) (t · c) buidhe 03:19, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• I agree, delete. —AFreshStart (talk) 22:07, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Restore to pre-redirect version and tag it for translation from the German article. Jay (talk) 03:56, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Restore per Jay. Almost always better to un-BLAR than to redlink. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 06:10, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Beit Shemesh Engines Ltd.

• Beit Shemesh Engines Ltd. → Beit Shemesh  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

No substantial information about the company in the city article, misleading to redirect there. BilCat (talk) 04:04, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Refine to § Economy, where it's mentioned. Although that section is unsourced, so if the mention is removed, the redirect should be deleted. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 01:36, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• If the Western industrial zone mentioned at that section is the Lavi industrial zone, we can cite it with this Jerusalem Post article. Jay (talk) 04:18, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Photosensitize

• Photosensitize → Photosensitivity  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 
• Photosensitizing → Photosensitivity  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 
• Photosensitization → Photosensitizer  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

These should be consistent. ~~~~

PRJ

• PRJ → Jakarta Fair  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This redirect is a name of the place but PRJ can refer to many things and acronyms, should we disambiguate it? Vitaium (talk) 05:17, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• I would be inclined to support disambiguation if I could see a draft list of things that would go on the disambiguation page. BD2412 T 05:31, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Disambiguate (drafted) I see at least four potential targets (current target plus Patti Rutland Jazz, Prantij railway station, and Pronair) and no apparent WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT based on pageviews [1]. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 07:07, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Männerbund

• Männerbund → Secret society  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

• Mannerbund → Comitatus  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

"Men's league" or "men's union" I guess is the English-language equivalent of this term? ('Bund' is cognate of 'bond' in English, I believe) "Fraternity" would probably be the closest equivalent in English (and seemed to be what this article redirected to in the first place), but I think it's probably best we delete this as a redirect on Wikipedia to possibly make way for a good, encyclopaedic article on the German concept. Thoughts? AFreshStart (talk) 18:08, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete more or less per nom, a GScholar search and my own familiarity with the term suggest that Männerbund is treated as a special term for the German concept in English, and is not reducible to Fraternity or Secret society, particularly given its role in Nazi ideology. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 22:52, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Originally closed as "delete", I'm relisting after the existence of Mannerbund was brought to my attention.

• Comment Kóryos contains In Indo-European studies, the modern German term Männerbund (literally 'alliance of men') is often used to refer to the *kóryos. MB 02:27, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:REDYES (encouraging creation); the subject already exists in other version of Wikipedia, see wikidata:Q883801. Veverve (talk) 03:16, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Aprotic solvent

• Aprotic solvent → Protic solvent  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Misleading redirect; source and destination are two different terms CrafterNova (talk) 11:31, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as a {{R from antonym}}. I think this gives the cleanest definition for aprotic solvent. I considered retargeting to Solvent#Solvent_classifications, but that is somewhat misleading in implying only polar solvents can be aprotic; technically, all non-polar solvents are also aprotic. There is a link to part of that section via the redirect polar aprotic solvent. Both of these pages could use a little revision vis à vis protic vs. aprotic.
