• Wikipedia:Simplified list of Wiki projects → List of wikis  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This redirect is a WP:XNR. Also, the wikis listed at the target page are not exclusively related to Wikipedia or Wikimedia. So, delete since the target page doesn't have exclusive affinity with Wikipedia or Wikimedia, or retarget to Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects as a alternative target for a list of wikis that are related to Wikipedia and Wikimedia. Steel1943 (talk) 21:27, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• ...Or should this be retargeted to Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory since Wikipedia:List of WikiProjects redirects there? Steel1943 (talk) 21:29, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. This is a CNR out of projectspace, which is significantly less problematic than the reverse, but we shouldn't redirect WP: to article if there is a better page in a non-content namespace. Neither of the targets suggested are "simplified" and whether the searcher wants a list of (WMF) wikis, a list of wikiprojects or a list of projects on (this or a different) wiki is ambiguous, such that I don't think we have anything to offer.

• Wikipedia:WiktionaryZ → OmegaWiki  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 
• Wikipedia:OmegaWiki → OmegaWiki  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]  (Added by Steel1943 (talk) 20:51, 17 March 2017 (UTC))[reply]

I would have thought that there would have been a page in the "Wikipedia:" namespace to redirect this to, but I cannot find one. Also, its target page, OmegaWiki, was in the "Wikipedia:" namespace at various titles from 2006–2012. In addition, the content currently at OmegaWiki was at one point at the title of the nominated redirect. (The nominated redirect is a {{R from move}}.) Steel1943 (talk) 20:40, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging administrator Tavix, who deleted Wikipedia:OmegaWiki per WP:G6 last month. Pinging because ... at this point, I'm not sure if the redirect's target page should remain in the article space or be moved back to the "Wikipedia:" project namespace. Steel1943 (talk) 20:46, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored it so you know what's going on with that particular redirect. Feel free to bundle it if you want, they're similar enough redirects. -- Tavix ^(talk) 20:48, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Ironically, I saw it restored before the aforementioned comment, and was about to do just that. Steel1943 (talk) 20:51, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Wikipedia:Truth in Numbers: The Wikipedia Story → Truth in Numbers?  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The helpfulness of this redirect, as I see it, is questionable. For starters, it's a WP:XNR; however, the target page is related to Wikipedia. At this point, the strongest way to prove this redirect's helpfulness would be to establish this as an alternative name of its target, including the use of "Wikipedia:" at the beginning of the title, but I'm not able to locate such proof of that. Steel1943 (talk) 20:19, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Maybe this is a borderline case, but I just don't see the redirect as truly useful. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 22:55, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Wikipedia:Unusual articles/Places with unusual names → Place names considered unusual  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Looks as though this redirect was created as a result of an editor moving its target page here during an ongoing WP:AFD discussion, possibly without consensus to do so. (See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of interesting or unusual place names.) Also, this redirect is a WP:XNR. Steel1943 (talk) 20:12, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• NRJ Games → Ubisoft  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The connection is unclear as NRJ Games isn't mentioned in the target article. -- Tavix ^(talk) 20:00, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• CommentDelete This looks to be a French video game fansite. [1] No idea how notable it is for English Wikipedia purposes. It's not clear it is sponsored by Ubisoft. Changed vote to Delete. It's definitely not specific to Ubisoft. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:59, 20 March 2017 (UTC), updated 18:22, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• William Duke (Artist) → William Duke (artist)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Unnecessary, WP:COSTLY redirect, considering that its target has the word "artist" capitalized properly in the disambiguator. Steel1943 (talk) 19:00, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Http://en.wikipedia.org → English Wikipedia  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This is the only redirect of its kind, not as plausible as Wikipedia.org itself, for example, and not being used except for a few hits within the past 90 days. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 06:19, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep; this is a good example of WP:CHEAP, since it's not hurting anything, it unambiguously refers only to the target and not to anything else, and it provides benefit to the few people who have used it within the past 90 days. Deleting this (which I suppose is your meaning; you've not even said what you want) would provide absolutely no benefit. Nyttend (talk) 11:10, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Nyttend. Unambiguous and harmless. Thryduulf (talk) 19:33, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per lack of ambiguity. Steel1943 (talk) 20:58, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as a plausible synonym for the wiki --Lenticel ^(talk) 08:46, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment The talk page of the redirect is on the title blacklist. Also, this seems to be the only redirect I could find in Category:Redirects from domain names that includes the http prefix. – Uanfala (talk) 10:22, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Apparently the blacklist prevents the creation of any page (mainspace or talkspace) with the string http:// if the slashes are followed by alphanumeric characters and if there's a period between those alphanumeric characters; see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Http://a.a&action=edit for an example. So unless you're an admin, you can't create a page with titles like this. Nyttend (talk) 02:06, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• PS, Uanfala, I've created the talk page. Please do something with it, unless you were merely making a comment and you don't want to do anything with it; if that's the case, please let me know and I'll delete it. Nyttend (talk) 02:26, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks! The talk page would contain an {{old rfd}} notice if/when this discussion is closed as keep. – Uanfala (talk) 08:24, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
