History of modern literature

- History of modern literature → Contemporary literature (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This redirect points to Contemporary literature (defined in the article as post-wwii literature), which is not a synonym for "modern literature" (which can be variously defined, but encompasses the last 300-500 years of literature, not the last 80). The page was originally AfD'd last November; @LEvalyn:'s arguments there still apply. (See [1]). Redirect should be deleted. asilvering (talk) 22:25, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Also, WP:REDYES. Modern period is not the contemporary period; see also Timelines of modern history. Veverve (talk) 18:06, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Neither "$" or "$ $" are listed at the target page. On the other hand, $ is a redirect to Dollar sign which is a logical target page. I don't know what readers looking for a double dollar sign would be looking for but they won't find it at List of emoticons. Liz Read! Talk! 20:49, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
- No opinion on the redirect, but I'm pretty sure $_$ (definition link) is the intended "emoji" here. Primefac (talk) 21:17, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. I agree with Primefac that this is intended to be $_$, but there is no information about that anywhere on Wikipedia I can find so there is no appropriate target. Thryduulf (talk) 20:17, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - Originator is playing some sort of games with redirects, because the originator seems to be mostly playing games anyway. We don't need to play along. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:24, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

- The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won → The Boy Bands Have Won (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Another overly long redirect title page that leads to the much shorter and more likely search term that is the actual title of the page. I think it is unlikely for the longer phrase will be typed in a search bar when the article title will pop up after the first 5 words. Liz Read! Talk! 20:46, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Per nom. Not useful, and that's all we expect redirects to be. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:08, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- This and When the Pawn... are two exceedingly rare cases where a page's full title is too long for MediaWiki to handle. How rare? Well, they are 100% of the examples given at WP:TITLELENGTH. Given the somewhat uncharted waters there, I think it's reasonable to say that any plausible truncation of the full title is a valid search term. Stopping at an arbitrary word would be implausible, but this is the full "then" clause of the inverted if/then statement that makes up the title's first sentence. The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or from Exaggerated Respect. would probably be a more reasonable truncation if one isn't going to truncate at the first five words like most people do, but this is acceptable and redirects are cheap. Thus, keep. I draw a distinction with the When the Pawn redirect below, where that is not a truncation of the full title but rather an excerpt from it. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 08:54, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. A completely plausible shortening of the full title per Tamzin. Thryduulf (talk) 20:19, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - Appears to be a test of the ability of Wikipedia to handle overly long redirects, rather than to have a useful purpose. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:28, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

(talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I don't think this redirect will be used or is useful especially since So when you go solo, you hold your own hand already exists. The chances that a reader will search for this entire 45 word phrase when a shorter version will immediately pop up is doubtful. Liz Read! Talk! 20:40, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
- I don't know how to fix the stats link here which I assume is messed up by the complicated title of this page. Any help from a RFD regular? Or should it just be removed? Liz Read! Talk! 20:42, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Liz: I've removed the "stats" link, since it was highly distracting. Guess it doesn't work when the title is this long. CycloneYoris talk! 07:00, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you, CycloneYoris, I couldn't figure out how to fix that. Much appreciated! Liz Read! Talk! 06:46, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Liz and CycloneYoris:
Fixed module-side; template reënabled. Interwiki links max at 255 bytes, and the
toolforge:
link sees 74 characters added prior to the actual title, so there's a whole dead zone where a title is valid as an enwiki title but invalid as an interwiki link to pageviews. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 09:33, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

- Kylie Cantrall → Gabby Duran & the Unsittables (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
RfD#10. This is the name of an actress that is presently redirecting to an article about a Disney show. Editors of the article Ron's Gone Wrong, a film in which this actress cast a major role, have been awkwardly avoiding wikilinking this name because it redirects to an irrelevant article. It would be better off if left as a red wikilink. This actress is not currently notable enough for own article. JAYFAX (talk) 18:56, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete to allow for article creation in the future. wizzito | say hello! 22:11, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
Restore and tag for speedy deletion.WP:R#D10 doesn't apply as the actress is not notable per nom. Jay (talk) 19:59, 15 February 2022 (UTC)- Delete. A restored article would indeed be eligible for speedy deletion (not under A7, which I'm assuming Jay is referring to, but under G5, since Pennlivia created it on 2020-11-28 but had been blocked on primary account Thatdollcalledriley on the 1st of that month), but in my mind the main exception to the general rule of "don't delete redirects that used to be articles" is if the previous article was speedyable, and I see no reason to go through the extra bureaucracy of restoring this just to send it to speedy deletion. We have no obligation to preserve a sockmaster's creation, and this should just be deleted outright. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 05:17, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
- Striking off my vote because of the sock angle. Yes, I meant A7. Would like to know why A7 won't be applicable. Jay (talk) 05:56, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Jay: In my opinion, someone being the star of an encyclopedically notable TV show is a credible claim of significance, which is all that's required to survive A7. It's a much lower bar than notability. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 18:44, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Delete per WP:R#DELETE #10; this could conceivably be an independent article, and the current target only states that pianos can be a rock instrument and will be unlikely to satisfy readers. signed, Rosguill talk 18:48, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Easily confused words
- 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 move target back to mainspace at List of commonly misused English words and retarget redirect accordingly. There was little discussion of Thryduulf's original proposal. The main question is whether to move the target back to mainspace. Three editors supported a move back, while two supported deleting the redirect and one opposed the move on procedural grounds. I find no support for that procedural objection; reversing a move decided on in a decade-old AfD is within the scope of any venue that regularly moves pages, and that includes RfD.What we're left with, then, is a dispute as to whether an article is suitable for mainspace. And that, unlike the question of reversing a move, is not within RfD's scope. Three editors in good standing support an article existing at this title, and the consensus against that is a decade old (and thus subject to reconsideration); therefore the correct thing to do is move the article back without prejudice against any combination of the following:
- An RM to change the list's title
- An AfD to renew the consensus from 2012—courtesy pings @Nohat and Uanfala if they'd like to do that
- Enacting Thryduulf's proposal for a BCA/DAB/SIA at this title or some other title. (That is to say, the move consensus does not represent a consensus that the re-mainspaced page is the correct target here. This RfD can be considered no-consensus in that regard, simply for lack of substantial discussion.)
- In recognition of the content concerns raised on both sides, as a content matter I'm going to remove all unsourced entries that aren't obviously justified by linked articles post-move, and will leave a link to the permalink pre-cleanup on talk for those who wish to go back and source them. That is not per se an action I'm undertaking as closer, but is relevant. (non-admin closure) -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 21:45, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- Easily confused words → Wikipedia:List of commonly misused English words (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
In 2012 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of commonly misused English words moved the target from article space to project space, in May 2017 this redirect was created as a redirect to the project space page. In June-July 2017 Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 July 1#Easily confused words was closed with consensus that the title should not redirect to project space but no consensus on what it should be instead. In the 4½ years since then nothing has happened and it is still inapropriately redirecting to projectspace. Re-reading that discussion, I think I now support Salvidrim!'s suggestion of a broad concept article/dab/SIA linking to some or all of List of English words with disputed usage, Common English usage misconceptions, Commonly misspelled English words, Homonym, Paronym, False friend and maybe others. Linguistic confusion was their suggested title but Uanfala opposed that, I have no strong opinion on the title. Thryduulf (talk) 14:06, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 July 1 § Easily confused words – no consensus/should not redirect to project space
- The recently-active people who contributed to the previous RfD were: @SoWhy, Train2104, Feminist, Uanfala, Tavix, George Ho, Salvidrim!, and BDD:. Thryduulf (talk) 14:06, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- Move Wikipedia:List of commonly misused English words back to mainspace because this is an encyclopedic topic in the wrong namespace. I am in agreement with the "keep" position at the 2012 AfD. -- Tavix (talk) 15:05, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- Move back to mainspace. It's in better shape than I expected for mainspace. It might need some tidying up, but that's hardly a barrier. I suppose there's still the idea that the search term doesn't say anything about English, though I think that's excusable for the English Wikipedia. --BDD (talk) 16:35, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- Note. I've left a note at Wikipedia talk:List of commonly misused English words about this discussion. Thryduulf (talk) 18:09, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment I don't disagree with the move suggestions, but even if it is moved I still think there is scope for the page I mention above an addition. Thryduulf (talk) 18:09, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete I would prefer deleting the redirect over moving the page back to article space. The page seems to be a magnet for people to give their language pet peeves the imprimatur of Wikipedia declaring them as "non-standard"—despite the entries being plainly contradictory to the criteria listed at the top: "frequently used in ways that major English dictionaries do not condone in any definition". Many recently added entries have supposed "non-standard" usages which are just ordinary usages of one of the senses of the word in the first dictionary I look in. I've started removing some of these erroneous entries, but I'm not optimistic it would stay clean. Nohat (talk) 19:15, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - "Easily confused" presents problems. Search results seemingly return just as many items for commonly confused words. Then again what about "often confused words?" The question of where to point this or what should be at the title itself is another layer of complexity. Thus, we should look at the sourcing available; if good sources can be found that establish this (or something else) as a regularly used term for the concept at hand, then there is an arguable case for such a broad article. If not, then perhaps deletion (of this title) is due (if it is not covered explicitly somewhere) because the problem of where to point this is likely too grand. That aside, I agree that Wikipedia:List of commonly misused English words should likely be in the mainspace. However, I am unsure of how to title it at this time. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 06:49, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Relisting comment: If the target is moved back to mainspace, what would a proper title be? Will the redirect continue to point to the current target, or is there scope for a DAB/SIA?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Jay (talk) 16:40, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
- I don't think a lack of a clearly best title should hold up moving this to mainspace, if that is the consensus (I'm neutral on that). Move it to a plausible title and create redirects from other plausible ones. An RM can pick which title is best after that. Thryduulf (talk) 20:39, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose moving to mainspace For the same reason RfD shouldn't be used to delete article content, it shouldn't be used to overturn past discussions at AfD. * Pppery * it has begun... 05:49, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
- This seems overly legalistic, given that consensus can change, and that we're talking about an AfD almost 10 years old. --BDD (talk) 16:02, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- I too don't think that is necessary. An RM would be sufficient to reverse an old (or even recent) AfD move and RfDs not-infrequently function as RMs. There has been a note on the target talk page noting that this discussion may result in it being moved for all-but the first four hours of this now fortnight-long discussion. Thryduulf (talk) 13:07, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment. A redirect like that is definitely not acceptable. I can't see an article getting created (trying to write up something in an unfamiliar topic area only to deal with an awkward redirect is never a good idea). Deletion is the most easily defensible option. The creation of some sort of navigational aid (sia/dab) as proposed by Thryduulf may actually be in the best interest of readers. – Uanfala (talk) 01:06, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

I just now reverted a sockpuppet's re-targeting to Wikipedia:A headline is not a reliable source, an essay. However, that still doesn't make either target suitable, despite the MOS being the first target when first created. It should be either retargeted to Wikipedia:Reliable sources#Headlines (per prior RFD discussion) or disambiguated. George Ho (talk) 10:22, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Delete. Doesn't make grammatical sense, unclear as to the usefulness of the redirect (made 16 years ago, possibly a forgotten typo). --Bonoahx (talk) 11:55, 8 February 2022 (UTC)- Not typos, these are medical subject headings. There are plenty of such pages: binding, competitive -- silencer elements, transcriptional -- protein structure, quaternary- - protein structure, secondary -- mechanotransduction, cellular -- biological transport, active -- protein processing, post-translational -- transformation, bacterial -- cell transformation, viral -- antibodies, antinuclear -- immunoglobulins, intravenous. Jay (talk) 15:06, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

- Retarget to Antibody#Antigen-binding_site, though I will note we don't have redirects or other content at Antibody binding sites or Antibody binding site. The medical subject heading makes this a plausible search term. Mdewman6 (talk) 22:22, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

This runs into significant WP:XY problems. Given that the 5th Missouri Cavalry Regiment (Confederate) (which is redlinked or discussed in a number of articles) existed as well, it is inappropriate to redirect it just to the Union unit. This could be a dab page once the article for the Confederate unit is created, but the redirection right now is too narrow of a target. Hog Farm Talk 22:26, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- Disambiguate. How best to disambiguate is unclear. Since there is already the parenthetical disambiguation, we can proceed as if there is no primary topic and create a two-topic dab page that complies with WP:DABRED as I have drafted under the redirect content, or disambiguate at 5th Missouri Regiment and include infantry regiments. Alternatively, the broader 5th Cavalry Regiment (disambiguation) could be created with the redirects targeting there with appropriate entries, or the Civil War section at 5th Regiment could be expanded, though these might be getting astray of WP:PTM and MOS:DABNOENTRY. There are probably analogous issues beyond the 5th Missouri, too, that should be addressed according to consensus here. Mdewman6 (talk) 01:20, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

- Disambiguate at 5th Missouri Cavalry Regiment per Mdewman6. The draft looks good. The DAB tag should be {{mil-unit-dis}}. Retarget 5th Missouri Cavalry to it, and tag as {{R from ambiguous term}}. The redirect 5th Missouri Cavalry Regiment (disambiguation) will need to be created and tagged {{R to disambiguation page}}. Add that redirect to DAB page 5th Cavalry. Narky Blert (alt) (talk) 15:58, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
- Disambiguate The page as drafted works for me. While List of Missouri Confederate Civil War units gives little information on the Confederate unit—one could even argue it gives no more information than what a reader could glean from the unit's name—the status quo has too much potential to confuse or mislead. --BDD (talk) 04:05, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was retarget to Protein subunit. Based on minimal participation, the only vote has been taken into account. Jay (talk) 19:10, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
The target page seems unclear on how the subject of this redirect is supposed to be defined. There are synthesizations of the words "single" and "protein" in Protein, but a subject called "single protein" seems undefined. Steel1943 (talk) 06:32, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- Retarget to Protein subunit. As a search term, likely used in the context of Protein quaternary structure. Protein subunit is probably the most on point. Mdewman6 (talk) 20:50, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Birthing person

- The result of the discussion was delete. Tamzin's arguments regarding treatment of "trans motherhood" in RS appear to be uncontested after 2 weeks both here and at Motherhood, and as such carry the day despite delete only winning a plurality of support. signed, Rosguill talk 22:29, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
Not mentioned at target. This term has generally been used as a more inclusive alternative to "mother", and given its current usage, someone who searches it is likely curious about that initiative and not simply looking for information on mothers. Not sure if we currently have any information on this topic though (there is some media coverage e.g. this). Elli (talk | contribs) 04:00, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- Keep at current target. There is a section in the article Mother about transgender motherhood, and the debate over terms "birthing person", "birthing people", "pregnant people", etc. could be discussed there, and the linked article from the Atlantic could be used as a source for the controversy over such terms.--Tdl1060 (talk) 05:58, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete to encourage creation of an article or section of an article on the topic of gender-neutral terminology in pregnancy, similar to Menstruation § Terminology, to which People who menstruate redirects. The existing Transgender motherhood section does not cover that topic, and indeed per its title should only be about trans women having children. A trans man who gives birth to a child is not a mother under the definition given by that article ("the female parent of a child") (although individual trans men may identify with that term). -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 08:06, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- Keep at current target. Birthing person refers to a human who gives birth. Let human childbirth be the resulting act from a mother. Inclusivity should never compromise well established biologic terminology. And I do agree with Tdl1060 that the relevant section at Motherhood gives enough coverage for those who seek such information, as does LGBT parenting. Cheers, Pyrite Pro (talk) 20:12, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- The entirety of the relevant content in that section is
Transgender men may have biological children when they have not had a hysterectomy before carrying and giving birth to children
, which doesn't even belong in that section anyways, as a transgender man with children would generally be called a father, not a mother. This isn't about "inclusivity compromis[ing] well established biologic terminology", and if I'm understanding your meaning there, it's the opposite: "Birthing person" is a neologism, used solely in the context of discussing childbirth in a manner inclusive to trans men and AFAB nonbinary people. The redirect, as stands, takes people to an article that does not discuss this neologism. No one is typing in "birthing person" because they're looking for the broad-concept article on mothers. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 03:36, 2 February 2022 (UTC)- But someone might possibly type in the term because they've heard it and don't know what it means. StAnselm (talk) 00:29, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- And would this article answer their question for them? It doesn't seem so to me. It would define a related-but-emphatically-not-synonymous term, without discussing the nuances between the two. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 08:58, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

- John Mason of Cheshunt → John Mason (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
A redirect to a DAB page with no obvious ambiguity or specific target. Linked in Hugh Farmer. John Mason (minister) died in Cheshunt, but the article doesn't say he was known as "of Cheshunt". Tag as {{R from incomplete disambiguation}} or retarget somewhere or delete; I do not know which. Narky Blert (alt) (talk) 05:53, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
- Retarget to John Mason (minister). Was probably my intention in creating the redirect. Charles Matthews (talk) 06:05, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
- Retarget to John Mason (minister) per Charles Matthews. The only source I could find that refers to the subject as John Mason of Cheshunt was this. John, and Mason, are fairly common names in Britain - given this essay published in 1851 is the only reference is it clear enough to suggest that they were talking about the same John Mason? --Bonoahx (talk) 14:50, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Repetition of target three times, not a translation from English to Hawaiian directly, implausible redirect. Faster than Thunder (talk) 19:42, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
- wiki wiki is an older term for wiki, as in the original WikiWikiWeb. That term comes from wikiwiki, Hawaiian for "speedy". So a wikiwiki wiki could be a wiki about wikiwikis, or it could be a fast wiki. I don't see any indications, though, that anyone's used "wikiwikiwiki" or "wikiwiki wiki" to describe either of those things, so delete unless usage can be shown. (We should start calling CSDs wikiwiki deletion just to confuse people.) -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 00:24, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete wikiwikiwiki, the redirect makes no sense. It was supposed to be deleted through RfD in 2007, immediately after creation, this is a belated nomination. Jay (talk) 06:00, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Wiki Wiki Wiki as well as a misleading term. No mention at the target and I could not find external search results also except being used as the title (probably for effect) in a couple of writing pieces. The voters at the previous RfD did not provide any usages, and may have been referring to "Wiki Wiki". Jay (talk) 03:18, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

- This is not nonsensical at all - it is a now (mostly?) historic term with a specific meaning. When terms with a clear use could be confused with something with a similar name that was never known by the name then we just add a hatnote to the target making it easy for anyone using the term to find what they were looking for whether that is the correct name or the misnomer. What we do not do is make it harder for everybody to find the content they are looking for by deleting something. Faster than Thunder's comment is correct but completely irrelevant as unlike wikiwikiwiki those terms are not plausible search terms. Thryduulf (talk) 20:49, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Target had been Regular expression (for 10 years) which gets thousands of views daily. Current target get 4 views per day (and has Notability tag). I think this should go back to the prior target. MB 07:13, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose Leave as is to Find and Replace (audio drama). I originally created this redirect, but as it has capital letters, it is a proper noun and it is not referring to "Regular expression". Regular expression is not a good target at all, as it is only about find and not about "replace". find and replace should get its own article written, there was an attempt here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Find_and_replace&oldid=507641546 but AFD decided to redirect.

- Retarget back to Regular expression. A requested move discussion could consider moving Find and Replace (audio drama) to the base name Find and Replace if it is deemed the primary topic for the capitalized form, per WP:QUALIFIER, but the base name should not be a redirect to an article with parenthetical disambiguation (It should either host the primary topic, or be a dab page).

- Retarget back to Regular expression. The primary topic for this phrase (regardless of capitalization) is surely the computing topic, not the audio drama. That said, "find and replace" functionality is also used without regular expressions, so it should probably be its own article, and I'm open to a suggestion of a better target. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 15:39, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
- Retarget to Text editor#Typical features (or perhaps to Regular expression, though readers needing information on this topic might not be regexp users). Per WP:DIFFCAPS, we should guide readers
to the topic they might reasonably be expected to be looking for
. The audio drama is fairly obscure and its title clearly derived from the editing feature. I bet at least one text editor has a button or menu item marked literally "Find and Replace" which is selected more often than the drama. Certes (talk) 17:36, 30 January 2022 (UTC)- If retargeted there, Find and replace should similarly be retargeted. It might be best to reach consensus on that in a separate RfD.
