- Keep plausible misspelling --Lenticel (talk) 02:05, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - redirect allows linking from the erroneous capitalization, i.e. mike mullane should be a redlink but is not, and it does not improve search function (search is case insensitive). It is therefore harmful. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 14:18, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

- Bill pogue → William R. Pogue (links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
We actually don't have this as "Bill Pogue" as a normal redirect, and none of the sources used even refer to him as "Bill Pogue." As a matter of interest, Google shows them all to go right back to William R. Pogue in all instances, so I don't think the usage is relevant. MSJapan (talk) 22:54, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. This helps direct readers to an article about a man who is commonly known as "Bill Pogue." The fact that the "p" in "Pogue" is not capitalized is immaterial. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 23:38, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Keep as an {{R from miscapitalisation}} that's likely old enough to have accumulated incoming external links (WP:R#K4). Contra nominator, at least one source cited in the article itself calls him Bill, meaning we have verification that he used the diminutive Bill (as opposed to Will, Willy, Billy, etc.), unlike the case at, e.g., the recent Billy Bentinck discussion. 210.6.254.106 (talk) 04:10, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

It's not a useful search term - "cute is" by itself will cause the band to come top of search. The claim of "R from another method of capitalization" is actually inappropriate, because the title is a proper name. MSJapan (talk) 22:50, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. While that particular RCAT would be inappropriate, {{R from miscapitalisation}} would work. It's useful as a search aid and it's harmless. It's not out of the question for someone to search using sentence case. -- Tavix (talk) 23:12, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Complete works of Plato
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was refine target to Plato#Dialogues. -- Tavix (talk) 19:36, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
Retarget to Socratic dialogue#Platonic dialogues. I consider this a no-brainer but others might not share this opinion, so it is better to list it here. The Traditionalist (talk) 12:36, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose: There are at least four categories of "Platonic" works that are not Socratic dialogues.
- Authentic Platonic dialogues which do not feature Socrates (e.g. Laws)
- Spurious Platonic dialogues which do not feature Socrates (Demodocus)
- Possibly spurious works which are not dialogues (Epistles)
- Spurious works which are not dialogues (Definitions and Epigrams)
Any meaningful "Complete works of Plato" should certainly contain the first category. It might also contain the other three categories, but I do not insist on it (I note though that the Works of Demosthenes, while in many respects a poor article, covers both possibly and certainly pseudo-Demosthenic works). Either way, I would be very surprised to be redirected to an article on Socratic dialogues if I were looking for all of Plato's works. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 15:53, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
- Comment A quick search shows a collection titled Complete Works edited by Cooper and Hutchinson, as well as other authors compiling collections of "complete works". I don't see a bibliography on the main Plato article though. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:27, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
- Agree. "Complete works of Plato" appears to be an abandoned page and appears to be redundant anyway because the targeted section does the same job but in a much more understandable format for the general reader. Also, whatever the original editors were trying to accomplish there are no wiki links (except for two) or references that I can see. This page is really not much help to the general reader. I think it benefits only those with a background in Plato and Socrates and Greek Philosophy. Therefore, I recommend, Keep Redirect to the recommended section - this is the best use of this page. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 03:12, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, BDD (talk) 15:34, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
- Caeciliusinhorto, Steve Quinn, it sounds like you know more about this than I do. Is the content at Plato#Dialogues broader than the Socratic dialogues? More to the point, does that section reasonably list Plato's complete works as we know them? If so, keeping the redirect and refining to that section sounds sensible. If we don't have his works listed all together anywhere on the encyclopedia, though, we should delete. A reader searching for this term is clearly looking for something more specific than Plato generally, and will know enough to search for just plain "Plato" if that would suffice. --BDD (talk) 16:37, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Deryck C. 22:33, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Keep or refine target to Plato#Dialogues. The term "Socratic dialogue" generally refers to either Plato's early dialogues or (less frequently) to dialogues in which Socrates appears. Some of Plato's works do not fall into either of these categories (the most notable of these is likely Laws), and the list of works at Socratic dialogue#Platonic dialogues therefore does not actually reflect the complete works of Plato. As far as I can tell, Plato#Dialogues lists all works attributed to Plato and also explains the spurious writings and other challenges to the authenticity of various works, so we may want to refine the target as BDD suggested above. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 23:23, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Retarget to Plato#Dialogues, assuming that is a list of complete works by Plato. If not, keep at current target. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 22:58, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

- Obama's asian trip → China–United States relations (links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Obama has taken many trips to Asia. It can be argued that China is always at least a subtext on these trips, but the redirect is very misleading. And it's probably too vague to be useful. Foreign policy of Barack Obama#Asia and List of international presidential trips made by Barack Obama both contain descriptions of such trips, but no neat, single list. And none of these trips has enough prominence to merit treatment like Nixon's visit to China. BDD (talk) 16:57, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Not discussed in the body of the target article, though there's an External link to its official website. So any reader searching for this is almost certainly looking for information we don't provide. We have standalone articles for Chinese consulate-generals in Auckland, Chennai, and, probably most relevant to this discussion, Los Angeles. So there's a strong WP:REDLINK case here as well. --BDD (talk) 16:47, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2016 May 23#~*~ StAr TrEk InTo DaRkNeSs ~*~ was just closed as delete. The rationale for both of these should be the same, but I thought I'd bring it here just in case, since it's not as "bad" as the other one. For the record, I am neutral. -- Tavix (talk) 16:40, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Inconsequential - unlikely to be used as a wikilink without being swiftly corrected, and its existence does not affect the function of the search engine at all. Whether this exists or not does not matter one bit. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 18:09, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

- Delete unnecessary and non-notable stylization AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:38, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delete someone who types in this exact bizarre capitalisation already knows how to get to the movie article, and probably is looking for something else. We should assume that searchers are looking for encyclopedic information as opposed to general shits & giggles, and we have no encyclopedic information in mainspace on the topics referred to by this string of letters (either the capitalisation controversy itself, or the XKCD comic which satirised it). 210.6.254.106 (talk) 04:03, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was delete.---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 21:17, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
The current target isn't helpful because it doesn't discuss spring nor winter holidays. As far as discussions of these holidays, there's somewhat of an WP:XY problem as these holidays aren't discussed together outside of the too-broad holidays or the shell-list at List of holidays by country. Since this gets no usage (2 hits in the last 90 days), I think it's safe to delete it. -- Tavix (talk) 16:20, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- delete The only possible target for this is some list of holidays by date, and even that is weak. Mangoe (talk) 16:56, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delete given that spring in one hemisphere is fall in the other, and summer in one is winter in the other, this would cover all four seasons in some manner. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:26, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

- Actually as it happened those did go to where I expected but it was chancy considering there is Mecca Bingo and all that which is probably blashphemous.

- Now actually I didn't do this on purpose but I just said (because I kinda came up trumps with those two links without testing them) "it was chancy"). Below we have "#chanced" which I have also listed, another Neelix. If I am using it that way, to mean "I took a gamble, it may not have paid off" then what would the one below mean?

Keep- nominator didn't suggest an action; keep by default. As it happens, Lapis Niger is a shrine whose native name translates to "black stone", so this redirect makes perfect sense; the two other targets pondered but not actually suggested by the nominator are a shrine called "the cube", and a city which is not a shrine. Everything below the nomination statement is off-topic to the redirect being discussed. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 12:31, 1 June 2016 (UTC)- Perhaps better to be redirected to Black Stone (which as it happens is part of the Kaaba)? --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 14:32, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- delete Possibly this could be disambiguated but I'm getting a lot of hits for the Kaaba, some considerably fewer hits for the Roman structure, and a bunch of hits for one or more strictures in India. The problem is that none of the targets except the Roman one are actually shrines of (a) black stone, but I don't think we need Neelix's literal translation redirects. Mangoe (talk) 17:02, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Ah I see. Based on this I think this is probably better pointed at Black Stone as a primary topic, or else retargeted to Black Stone (disambiguation). Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 18:12, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- delete as rather superfluous with this parenthetical disambiguator. I think redirecting to Black Stone of the Kaaba might be problematic, as the word "shrine" doesn't feel right in this Islamic context (not sure if it's just me though). Uanfala (talk) 22:03, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

(neelix) Triameter is all right, like hexameter, pentameter, tetrameter and so on but is this a valid alternative spelling? Not sure Si Trew (talk) 09:35, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
- Keep I guess. Google Books lists a few dozen works from reliable publishers using it with the trimeter poetry meaning. There's also some sources using it to refer to some concept in Riemannian geometry. I glanced at one of the relevant papers and my main take-away is, "hey, I know some of those words!" It is possible the mathematical meaning is discussed somewhere in Wikipedia under a different name; I wouldn't recognise it even if it walked up and hit me on the nose. In any case, I don't think the mathematical meaning knocks out trimeter from its WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT positions.210.6.254.106 (talk) 11:05, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
- I'll have a think. I only have O level in maths but I am not too bad at it. trigram would seem way out but I can see this being used in geometry certainly. The thing is then we have a kinda WP:XY don't we. I mean kinda poetry at least meter, rhyme schemes are themselves musical/mathematical in the sense that you could algebraically say for a Shakespearian sonnet aabbccddeeffgg and of course indeed you do, so there is an intimate connection with poetry and mathematics in that sense, but perhaps it is just WP:XY. I mean trigonometry would seem a long way off although it essentially means the same thing. Like in iambic pentameter there are two feet to a meter but I wouldn't go quoting that to a carpenter otherwise all your new window frames will fall out. They are kinda different worlds but the same. Dunno yet. (You know the old joke about the mathematician with constipation? He worked it out with a pencil.) Si Trew (talk) 13:37, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
- Keep - I think {{R from misspelling}} as a likely error. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:24, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. Not in my Collins Concise but that was printed in 1986. dictionary.com which presumably is more up to date doesn't have it either and asks did you mean "trimeter". I have a Webster's somewhere but can't lay my hands on it right now. Fowler's Modern English Usage has neither, in in neither the first nor second editions. Neither is in Usage and Abusage either, so they're no help one way or the other here. My Hungarian translation dictionaries list neither, nor does my French Collins-Robert translation dictionaries so eveything is leading me down a cul de sac at the moment but I say WP:NEOLOGISM.

- comment "Triameter" does seem to be a rare synonym for "trimeter" in poetry, but there is also a "triameter" having to do with "metric polytopes", which is a math subject we don't have an article for. It is presumably very obscure given the small number of hits. Mangoe (talk) 17:08, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Not a helpful redirect. Any blade could be long. This tells people nothing about long blades specifically. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:51, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

This template is always a capitalization error. I've been chasing these down and fixing them. It would be better if editors would see it show up as a redlink. Dicklyon (talk) 03:14, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. Different capitalizations is one of the primary reasons for redirects. And why would a red link be better? Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:53, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Keep - someone employed with the title "Head Writer" is quite likely to work in a profession described at head writer; fixing these links is unnecessary. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 04:43, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Question – is there some other way to indicate to editors that a redirect they're invoking is really an error? Dicklyon (talk) 05:04, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- It's quite clear to me that you think this redirect is wrong. But you haven't made that case to me. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 05:11, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Not really, no. For most users a link is either blue if the link exists and red if it does not. If the redirect were clearly erroneous, we would delete it, then the links would be red. A user can install a script that changes the highlight colour depending on the nature of the link (article, redirect, disambiguation, stub, etc.) but that script can't predict if a redirect is "really an error". Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 05:37, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Dicklyon, it's tagged with {{R from other capitalisation}}, which marks it as "unprintworthy" for a print index. That's about as close as we can get. While this is undeniably wrong capitalization for an article title, it's not really incorrect as a search term. Not all readers are familiar with our capitalization conventions, and the search engine is still generally caps-insensitive. You mentioned a template in your nomination statement—did you mean to say redirect, or is this used in a template? If the latter, that might be a case for fixing something else. --BDD (talk) 15:30, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- I understand. But it's also an error in every place where it's used in articles (and there are a lot of them). It's too bad there's no easy way to let editors see when they make such mistakes. I realize my attempt to turn this one into making redlinks is not going to fly. Consider the request withdrawn. Dicklyon (talk) 16:55, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- So done, Dicklyon. The only mechanism like what you describe is really a soft redirect—see, for example, ironically, WP:DICK. But I think you're very unlikely to be able to build consensus to do this with mainspace redirects. --BDD (talk) 16:59, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

- Retarget to Big Ideas - big idea and big ideas redirect to Big Idea and Big Ideas respectively. The big idea goes to Big Idea. An argument could be made to retarget the big idea (and possibly even the big ideas) to parti pris, where it is explicitly mentioned as a synonym, and hatnote with a variant of {{Redirect}} to the disambiguation page(s).

Because of this, it shows up on their singles discography, even though they don't have a song entitled Lily's or Lily's E(.)P(.). They do have a song named "Lily" though. I'm having a hard time finding an instance of this being referred to as simply "Lily's," so the WP:PTM argument seems valid, even though that isn't the case for real EPs. -- Tavix (talk) 17:11, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

- Comment - 'Omini" appears to be a legitimate scientific term used often in reference to Tiger beetles. See: here. Biology is really not my field of expertise, particularly when it comes to the creeeeepy-crawwwwwling, creepy-creepy-crawly-crawlies. So, there's a likely helpful exact page subsection to retarget to, but I'm not sure. Can we ping someone from 'WikiProject Biology' or something like that for help? CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 17:07, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
- Comment: it also seems to be Italian for "little man", a surname, a bunch of companies presumably named after people with that surname, and the name of an online store selling children's clothes. Whatever this should be, it shouldn't be a redirect. Perhaps a disambiguation page? -- The Anome (talk) 17:59, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, that looks like a good option. I went ahead and created 'Omini (disambiguation)', but I'm still looking for more comments since I don't quite understand the biological terminology here and hope for people with expertise to chime in. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 13:19, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

- Let me check this one tomorrow. I am not a Freemason but have respect for them just as I have respect for all the pissy god botherers (joking). Because I am English I can check this probably better than you can. I am not even sure that there is a Grand Lodge what the Freemasons call essentially in the hierarchy, there is not even an occasional Grand Lodge of England let alone a regular one.

- Delete if there is no article at present. Fiddlersmouth is correct, but let me elaborate: RGLE was a schismatic Grand Lodge formed by a few folks who were expelled from the United Grand Lodge of England. Therefore, it was neither related to UGLE, nor would it be considered regular by the vast majority of Grand Lodges in the world. There is a page on it here, but it appears that if ever it actually existed outside of a website, it hasn't been heard from in over a decade. Therefore, it is not appropriate to redirect it to Freemasonry, it had nothing to do with UGLE, or Regular Masonic jurisdictions. However, this discussion illustrates that the exact problem with it was that it was claiming to be exactly what it was not, hence the confusion here. Any sourcing available is pretty much due to WP:RECENTISM. MSJapan (talk) 22:26, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

This is a tricky one. I am aware a title in Wikipedia has to start with a capital that is just technical. I am then wondering whether it makes sense because the surnames of people that start "d'" are usually lowercase (or for that matter "de" like "de Montfort"). I am not sure if we can on a redirect put {{lowercase title}}
and if it would make sense even if we did considering the search engine is case insensitive, but it is technically incorrect but probably harmless/useful? (Neelix redirect) More than happy to keep but I don't really know how to rcat this because technically it would be wrong to put {{R from surname}}
when it is not his surname. Si Trew (talk) 01:21, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
- Disambiguate. "d'Angers" simply means of/from Angers, so you see the name in things like Ducs d'Angers and Château d'Angers. There is one more person with the name, Charles-Prosper Ollivier d'Angers, which would make a dab/index viable. Also link to Angers and Dangers. -- Tavix (talk) 15:56, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
- The lowercase d is the fiddle really because that Wikipedia makes titles start uppercase. There is no doubt we should put it somwehere but I just don't know where. Perhaps we should delete it because as Ivanvector says beow a list of people with this surname are just going to be partial title matches. What do we have for an example for d'Arcy? Just throwing that out as kinda an example I have not checked yet. Si Trew (talk) 22:21, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
- That's a good example actually. It's a DAB but the entries have capitalised the D I think in all cases but the WP:FIRSTSENTENCE does not have it in lowercase even though the first entry is for Bois-d'Arcy (disambiguation).... I don't know what WP:MOS would say about this. It's not exactly WP:RFOREIGN I don't know how we would expect to, if I can put it this way, anglicise it. Si Trew (talk) It was just a random example off the top of my head so I imagine we have many others in a similar vein I just happened to strike the jackpot with this one.

- Disambig but with persons only, not the sports club or mansion. I don't consider it a partial title match to link from a last name to people who have the name. For what it's worth, there doesn't seem to be a real royal title called Duke of Angers. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 18:27, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
- Retarget to Angers (disambiguation) the locales for Ducs and Chateau clearly point to places in Angers, France. It looks like it is closer to the Monfort example in use than the d'Arcy example. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:23, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
