The result of the discussion was delete. -- Tavix (talk) 20:37, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For some unfathomable reason, this page leads to the Adobe Illustrator article, and that article has no info on. I investigated a bit: [1][2][3][4] An ESD file is most intimately associated with the Electronic Software Download archive file format of Microsoft, used to compress a Windows 10 installation image for distribution to the end-user. Also there is the ExpertScan file format. Wikipedia does not have any articles on either of these two. So, since the current target makes no sense and there is no appropriate target, I suggest we delete it. Sending the reader on wild goose chase in the Adobe Illustrator article is not a good idea.

The result of the discussion was delete. ~ Amory (utc) 14:01, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This term seems a little too WP:INUNIVERSE to be a plausible redirect to anything. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 20:29, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Armored Personnel Unit goes to Armored Personnel Carrier at the moment. There is no game or media that uses "Armoured personal unit". AngusWOOF (barksniff) 23:41, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. Looks like this was autogenerated through [2], before some of these other pages even existed. Still, despite that, no mainspace links, and clear arguments below. Redirects can change in utility. ~ Amory (utc) 15:19, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There's a rather extensive list of individuals at Patten (surname). Is this redirect's target the only "Patten" who has been or is a Major? Steel1943 (talk) 19:06, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nooo

The result of the discussion was delete. Soft redirect to http://nooooooooooooooo.com/ ~ Amory (utc) 01:55, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as I'm not sure what on this page could plausibly be "nooo". My search seems to be dominated by the drawn out "no" part of Mr. Bill's Oh No catchphrase. Noo also exists, which seems to be a touch more plausible than simply "no". NO3 is Nitrate. -- Tavix (talk) 03:27, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I had closed this as "speedy delete" under G7, but since it was recreated by another author I'm backing out of my close and relisting. Note that it was recreated to Noo, but my rationale still applies.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, -- Tavix (talk) 17:44, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Because it was recreated at a new target after the listing here. Legacypac (talk) 08:59, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 00:18, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is more of a technical term that is common to pretty much all video games when textures are removed. Too vague to redirect to target but too implausible to redirect to Wire-frame model. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 10:00, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If it was a techical term, there would be sources using it in this sense. There are none. I think you may be confusing this with the general term "wire frame". Paradoctor (talk) 15:17, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If it were called "Steve Wire Frame" then that would be different. "Male" is a generic term, like "blue", "large" or "small".ZXCVBNM (TALK) 16:31, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We're talking about "Male Wire Frame", not about "male" or "wire frame". "Male Wire Frame" is a name that is only ambiguous between the NPC class derived from Captain Falcon and "Male Wire Frame trophy". There are no "male wire frame"s, and there exists no definition of "maleness" that applies to some set of wire frame models. Also note that the NPC is not rendered as a wire frame model, it is actually a differently textured derivative of the Falcon character's model.
Anyway, that question is only of secondary importance. As long as there is no text on Wikipedia describing either, there is not really much to discuss. Paradoctor (talk) 18:26, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If it helps, check out the names of the characters in The Driver, e. g. "Blue Mask". Same principle, only that, as opposed to here, there are other uses for the character names. Paradoctor (talk) 18:30, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. Mainly per the capitalization. Besides, no love for worms? ~ Amory (utc) 02:05, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Normally I would redirect to baseball bat but the capitalization makes me think it is just implausible and misleading. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 08:18, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Implausible due to added comma on the end. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 08:15, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dissident93, this is addressed at WP:FORRED. In this case, at least without the silly comma, yes, since it is a Japanese game, people might search using the Japanese title. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 06:43, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
On the English Wikipedia? I mean I'm not against it, it's just something I haven't really seen before. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 06:48, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
See Category:Redirects from Japanese-language terms for about seven thousand others. (After the first 800 or so they're all actually in Japanese, rather than just transcriptions.) 59.149.124.29 (talk) 10:34, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy delete. This was deleted per speedy deletion criterion G7 by its creator. Steel1943 (talk) 13:26, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per long-standing consensus at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 November 20#Several redirects that have wiki markup in their titles that lead to the creation of titles with consecutive apostrophes being added to the title creation blacklist due to wiki markup issues when linked or used in section titles, as seen in this section header because the wiki markup activated. (See here for currently-existing pages in the "(article)" namespace that have titles which start with two consecutive apostrophes.) Steel1943 (talk) 00:53, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sorry about that; I meant to clean up the erroneous redirect once the page was in the right place. As you can probably tell from my personal editing history, I don't do a lot of new article writing, and I suspect the last time I wrote something that required an italic title, we did it quite differently. I will personally go and delete that redirect right now. Risker (talk) 01:45, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Risker: I have something to apologize for as well: I did not realize until now that this redirect was a {{R from move}}. I put emphasis on why this should be deleted because I thought you created the redirect intentionally. Sorry about that. (If it's any consolation, I've written only, I think, one article from scratch during my 5+ years of active editing, and I have almost 95,000 edits.)
