• Kiki Wigglesworth → Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Grand total of 872 Google hits if put into scare quotes, so clearly not something anyone calls her reasonably often. Origin is fairly clearly this throwaway line in a Craig Ferguson bit from 2011, but while it's a modestly hilarious moniker, it clearly didn't wind up sticking, so WP:RFD#D8 would seem to apply... AngryHarpy‍^talk 21:29, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I've never heard this before. There's no mention of it in the article and before this nomination no-one had viewed the page for over a month. Celia Homeford (talk) 15:00, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete it's not a Natural search term per WP:CRITERIA and as above, nobody is using it.Chumpih. (talk) 22:03, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I have been a regular contributor to Catherine's page and have followed news surrounding her. I have never heard this term before, not even once. And I cannot find any significant results online either. I believe it needs to be deleted. Keivan.f^Talk 07:19, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. How can the origin be the Craig Ferguson bit from 11/11/11 when the redirect was created on June 2011? Was it some kind of a game between editors (see this archive)? Perhaps Mclay1 can answer, since the redirect creator is now inactive. Jay (talk) 06:23, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Jay: I have very little memory of this from a decade ago but it rings a bell. I would likely have found this redirect by searching after hearing it on Craig Ferguson. I think it was a recurring joke so likely he'd used it prior to November. The redirect seems pretty harmless but I also don't care if it exists. It's obviously less useful now than it was in 2011.

• Kraantje Pappie → Kris Kross Amsterdam  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete as per WP:RFD#DELETE condition 10. Kraantje Pappie has only made two singles together with Kris Kross Amsterdam. The target article contains no information about him as a solo artist. Redirect should be deleted to encourage article creation. ― Ætoms ^[talk] 14:49, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Two singles with somebody is more than one or nothing, and a mention on an article is enough for a valid redirect in my book (and plenty of other editors' books, it seems). If I considered two singles together "virtually no information on the subject", I wouldn't have created the redirect. Ss112 22:54, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  @Ætoms: We can probably mark this nomination as closed now, or at least no longer applicable, considering I've just expanded the article. Ss112 03:14, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as the search results are more informative to readers than any individual existing article. Search results show his collaborations with multiple other artists, rather than just a single other artist. Additionally, the redlink acts as an honest signal to editors that we do not have an article about him and they should keep an eye out for WP:RS coverage so they can start one. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 23:59, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Ratchet Feminism/ Womanism → Ratchet Feminism  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Moved history to Ratchet Feminism. The remaining redirect is an implausible search term and should be deleted. Anarchyte (talk) 10:17, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Ratchet feminism challenges womanism & Black feminism, which is why it shouldn't be redirected to womanism. It is part of the lineage of Black feminism, being born out of Hip-Hop feminism. Ratchet feminism (sometimes called ratchet womanism or ratchet radicalism) is often tied to scholars like Brittney Cooper, Mikki Kendall, and Joycelyn Wilson, who have published on the topic. The root term "ratchet" also appears in other Wikipedia articles like Respectability politics and Ratchet (slang). I will be working on the style and citation issues of the article. User: Mkibona 6:57, 12 December 2021

• @Mkibona: This discussion is not about Ratchet Feminism. Feel free to work on that article. This discussion is about the page "Ratchet Feminism/ Womanism", which fails to meet a few of our redirection guidelines. This page's deletion will have no effect on your contributions.

The result of the discussion was no consensus. The discussion did not see much participation despite two relists, and pinging of participants of a previous AfD. There is a split opinion for retargetting based on the redirect's name (Roman vs Sulla). There is more support for deleting the Sulla redirects than the Roman ones, and a future nomination with a smaller set may result in an outcome. Jay (talk) 04:27, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Leftover redirections from an article that was gotten rid of a while ago. There's only a single "Sulla's civil war", with nothing in the article indicating otherwise. This was also not the "first Roman civil war". Avilich (talk) 01:19, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Very weak retarget the "Roman [Republic] Civil War" ones to List of Roman civil wars and revolts, where Roman civil war points, but the first entry doesn't have an article (and there may've been such conflicts happening before that, so I'm not really sure about this course of action). Definitely delete the rest per nom, plus you must've missed the "Second Civil War" one's lowercase counterpart, which I'm adding here. Regards, SONIC678 02:23, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• @Sonic678: Thanks. The entry in red, which I assume is the one you mean, is the actual first civil war. I'll perhaps create that article myself in the future, and the redirect may be recreated then, but those 'First Civil War' terms are never used as proper nouns, so I don't really see any use for these redirects with upper-case initials.

• Again, I'm not averse to recreating those two "first civil war" redirects (there is, so far, consensus to delete the others) when the corresponding article is written, but right now they're not of much use, and they would be more useful if they were written with lower-case initials. This doesn't seem controversial or a good reason for relisting this further. Avilich (talk) 13:37, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget any that don't mention Sulla to List of Roman civil wars and revolts where someone can find whichever civil war they may be thinking of. Retarget the redirects that mention Sulla to Sulla. I just read through Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sulla's civil wars and I'm not buying into the argument that these names aren't used at all. Like it or not, Wikipedia had separate articles for separate events titled this way for twelve years. Anyone who comes across sources that uses these names should have a landing page, and Sulla is a good option because it goes into detail about all the events he was involved in that could conceivably be called a civil war if you use a broad enough definition. I'm also disappointed in the lack of participation here despite a healthily attended AfD, and perhaps if this is relisted again it would be worthwhile to ping the participants therein for their opinions given their interest in this topic. -- Tavix ^(talk) 02:05, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

These are placeholder names invented by Wikipedia users, and they only remained there for years because that's the time it took for someone like me to come in and point out the mistake. If you happen to find the term somewhere online, it's because it was copied from wikipedia. These are misleading terms that are not discussed in any article, and the events implied by them did not exist. The "broad definition argument" also holds no water here since most of those "civil war" terms are specific, and the concepts specified in them ("first" and "second civil war") are not real.

• Pinging AfD participants: Andrew Davidson, Extraordinary Writ, @*Treker:, P Aculeius, T8612, Reywas92, Bearian, and Jenhawk777, who may want to join this discussion as suggested by Tavix. CycloneYoris ^talk! 07:41, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: Sulla's First Civil War and Sulla's first civil war in fact referred to events that cannot be placed into Sulla's civil war, but in Bellum Octavianum (which is a very early stub). T8612 (talk) 10:34, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@T8612: More or less: The original "Sulla's first civil war" article was a careless amalgamation of parts of the Bellum Octavianum with Sulla's march on Rome. The term "second civil war" was then invented for the only genuine "Sulla's civil war" because a distinction needed to be made with the fake "first civil war". You're probably one of few in Wikipedia who can acknowledge this fact without problem, but, for others who lack subject-matter knowledge, the explanation can sound confusing and unconvincing (such as Tavix's comment above), which leads to time and effort being wasted on merges or discussions. What's indisputable is that the mistake originated in Wikipedia; thus, any attempt to justify keeping these as plausible search terms becomes a circular, self-perpetuating problem. It doesn't seem to me that we should allow Wikipedia's past errors to perpetuate themselves, and deleting all this should be no more controversial than a regular cleanup of any article. Avilich (talk) 22:32, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• @T8612: I don't think I pinged you correctly, so I'll give another try. Your opinion in this sort of thing is valuable since, unlike most, you actually know about the subject -- but you're always so brief! Anyway, what you said about what the former article originally refered to doesn't really matter here, since it doesn't exist anymore, these are just in-wiki redirects that remained as leftovers and now have no suitable targets. Hopefully you can clarify your point. Avilich (talk) 17:32, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Avilich: I agree that these redirects should be deleted, but the problem is that I can still see several mentions of Sulla's first/second civil war in some pages (examples here and here). I suggest you finish removing these mentions from the text first (hop it's not too much work!). T8612 (talk) 21:20, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Administrators sometimes remove wikilinks after deletion discussions, but if nothing happens here I'll do it myself no probem. Avilich (talk) 23:36, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I've cleaned up most of the articles as of now, except the category, which I'll deal with later. Avilich (talk) 23:45, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment on a possible closure: It is not clear which redirects T8612 wants deleted. T8612's starting comment mentioned only two redirects - Sulla's First Civil War and Sulla's first civil war. Jay (talk) 06:30, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan → Afghanistan  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Disambiguate between Afghanistan, Taliban, and Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (1996–2001). Looking at the incoming links and disambiguation fix list, it is clear that redirecting to the modern state is not appropriate for a large number of the links out there. There is no WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. ― Tartan357 ^Talk 05:33, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose disambiguation, Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan clearly refers to Afghanistan currently under Taliban rule. Taliban is the ruling organization, just as the Chinese Communist Party is the ruling organization for the People's Republic of China. Also using search as a metric for primary topic (and I did this in private browsing), and it seems that there certainly is one: islamic emirate of afghanistan - Bing islamic emirate of afghanistan - Google Search

There is a clear difference between the ruling party and what the party calls its government.

It is also worth mentioning that our title policy means we choose the most commonly searched title for a topic. Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is not a commonly searched term (afghanistan, islamic emirate of afghanistan - Explore - Google Trends), but nonetheless refers to the new country and thus is a suitable redirect. It is even in the lead of the Afghanistan article. Aasim (talk) 10:38, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Have you even bothered to look through the incoming links? Before you reverted, I was going through the disambiguation fix list, and the vast majority of the incoming links were from older articles that were using the term "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan" as distinct from Afghanistan as a country, to refer to the first Taliban state or the Taliban itself (which is called the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and has been this whole time!). WP:DPT tells us to look at the incoming links in determining the primary topic, and that's what we should do. Look, I get there's an almost morbid interest editors have in making sure "Afghanistan" is made totally synonymous with "Taliban", but it's going too far. Yes, the Taliban is Afghanistan's government now, but we have a lot of historical content that treats it as a rebel group. ― Tartan357 ^Talk 21:52, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the Taliban is not a political party. It is the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. That is the group's name. "Taliban" is an exonym. Your analogy is incorrect. ― Tartan357 ^Talk 00:29, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep (modified from Keep at 01:01, 3 December 2021 (UTC)) Afghanistan is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and the hat notes are sufficient in my mind. It is similar to how French Republic redirects to France and not French Republics. snood1205^{(Say Hi! (talk))} 13:37, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  This is not like other countries. We only recently started treating the Islamic Emirate as a government and not a terrorist organization. A lot of links are supposed to point to Taliban, which is an article about the organization and its history. There is relatively little coverage about the Taliban at Afghanistan because that article is about the country. What matters here is the incoming links and where they're supposed to point, and this redirect broke a lot of them. Editors are so eager to treat the Taliban as a government that they're ignoring the large amount of historical coverage we have treating them as a terrorist organization. That content hasn't disappeared. ― Tartan357 ^Talk 17:44, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nowhere am I ignoring that the Taliban is a terrorist organization. My argument was not in any way related to that and does not hinge on that. snood1205^{(Say Hi! (talk))} 22:42, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My point is that there is a lot of more-relevant content at Taliban that we are ignoring by declaring the country article the primary topic. Please keep in mind that "Taliban" is an exonym and the organization's name is the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. ― Tartan357 ^Talk 00:16, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that the organization's name is the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, but it's called that quite infrequently in English compared to the use of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan to refer to the nation under the control of the former. It is a truly regrettable situation, as it leads to much confusion. I do think that a redirect hat note for Taliban as well should be added to the page. It's a tough situation because I feel that your arguments all are based on correct information, but I also believe that it's unlikely someone will use that term to search for the Taliban. I'm trying to avoid making an argument from WP:NWFCTM because I feel like I'm approaching that. NGram is honestly not even useful here when it comes to something like WP:DPT because there is no real way to determine when someone searches for this term what they are intending to search for. I still !vote for keep, but I'll weaken it because your arguments are convincing. snood1205^{(Say Hi! (talk))} 01:01, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(unrelated comment but the Taliban are not internationally recognized as terrorists, most commonly referred to as Militants, or even in some cases, freedom fighters.) "The Taliban is no longer considered a terrorist organisation and is involved in political processes in Afghanistan. However, sanctions continue to apply in relation to persons and entities designated for the purposes of the Taliban sanctions regime. " off of [3]] Anyway, that's all. Noorullah21 (talk) 15:32, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

With regards to the incoming links, the hat note that shows the previous Islamic Emirate should be enough. While it's impossible to remedy all incoming links a hat note is a not terrible medium. snood1205^{(Say Hi! (talk))} 22:51, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is not about remedying "all incoming links". It is about the fact that Afghanistan is the wrong target for most of the links already out there; WP:DPT tells us to disambiguate in such a situation. ― Tartan357 ^Talk 00:16, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Support for Disambiguation The Taliban is not a political party or group, but rather it is the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. The State and Political/Armed Group articles are only separate because it is fits an encyclopedia better to have some distinction. Because of this, the 1996-2001 and 2021-present state articles should be considered to be of the same organization, even if separated by time.

  • Keep as is I agree, keep as it is, there is no reason to change it, as Afghanistan has been a islamic emirate before, not only under the Taliban, but its main regime under Dost Mohammad Khan off Barakzai rule during the Emirate of Afghanistan. Noorullah21 (talk) 15:34, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak oppose I get your point and although I agree with it at face value, there are a lot of pages out there that are currently linking to the "Islamic Emirate of Aghanistan" with intent to have the reader redirected to the page for the country. Doing this would break all those links; Leading the reader to a disambiguation page instead of the page for the actual country, and there are tons of these pages that will be broken if this were to pass. Besides, at the very top of the Afghanistan page, there is already a "mini-disambiguation" to help out readers that may have been looking for something else when searching for "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan".

• Charlotte Marchandise-Franquet → Rennes#Mayors  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I recommend deleting this redirect. There is no mention of Charlotte Marchandise-Franquet in the Rennes article, nor, apparently, has she ever been the mayor of that city. See also below for another form of her name with the same target. Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:38, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

5 unused redirects created by spammer and now-blocked sockpuppet Rastakwere going to the same target. (The grouping: Kobo incident, Kobbo incident, Zobel massacre, Kobo massacre, Kobbo massacre) Platonk (talk) 01:31, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

These event names were coined by the Wikipedia editor, not the newspapers. Village of Zobel is in district of Kobo. Platonk (talk) 10:19, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed that redirects should be deleted. Zobel is an obscure name... all sources refer to the place as Kobo and it is better known locally as Kobo. Human Rights Watch published a report corroborating the massacre today so it needs to be renamed from "Incident" to "Massacre". It should be a standalone article especially now with the emergence of the HRW report.[4] Efekadu (talk) 15:42, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Efekadu: Irrelevant because these redirects aren't articles. And anyway, there's nothing about that HRW source or its concepts in the Timeline of the Tigray War. Start there. Platonk (talk) 18:54, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as G5 socking. This was originally an attempted event article that was then redirected to its entry in the Timeline of the Tigray War (July 2021–present). Kobo also has a few sentences about it. Whether the actual Kobo/Kobbo/Zobel incident/massacre term is actually used is not supported by any useful references. Coverage of the event can be elaborated at the Timeline and potential split discussion, but should be originated and expanded upon by someone who is not associated with the sock.

• Meleager of Gléagros of Gadara → Meleager of Gadara  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete. Implausible typo. The redirect was created as a result of this piece of vandalism, which the editor who created the redirect utterly failed to recognise as nonsense for some reason. Florian Blaschke (talk) 01:09, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy delete: WP:G3. While the page may have been made in good faith, it was the result of a good-faith editor building upon someone else's bad-faith edits. Aasim (talk) 01:07, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, as the editor who made the redirect, I can confirm that I was confused by somebody's bad edit on Anthology when I created the redirect. - - mathmitch7 ^{(talk/contribs)} 02:27, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
