Wikipedia:BOOKLINKS[edit]

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 keep. (non-admin closure) Ca talk to me! 12:17, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[]

This is one of two shortcuts for the same section. It is little used (41 incoming links), and the title is vague.

It could plausibly be used for the current targets:

It could plausibly also be used for future sections of:

Way too much of a choice abstain. Moxy🍁 21:27, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[]
What's wrong with just leaving this alone? WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:11, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[]
Excessive shortcuts make them less memorable, so there's some benefit to reducing the number in general. As I said, I find this particular one to have a particularly ambiguous name. Daask (talk) 23:05, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[]
Keep. Shortcuts having (potentially) ambiguous names is not a problem in itself (just look at every single character one and most two character ones for starters) and only becomes a problem if editors are actually misusing it practice and a hatnote cannot resolve the problems. Secondly, having more shortcuts than needed is also not a problem - there is no requirement to advertise all of them and people can use whichever they personally prefer. So you've not actually given any reason why this is problematic. Thryduulf (talk) 09:19, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[]
Keep. I find the idea that excessive shortcuts (are) less memorable... flawed.
As for the idea that the title is vague... yeah, that's nothing new, either, many shortcuts are vague and/or imply something unsupported by the actual article they link to. We even have an entire essay on the books, WP:UPPERCASE, reminding editors to actually read the articles linked to by shortcuts, in order to check and make sure that they actually support the points they're cited for.

Macra (rivers)[edit]

As far as I can see, there's only one river known (in Roman times) as Macra, and that's Magra (and even that claim is unsourced). I've removed a claim at the translated page Maira (river) because it isn't present in the source of the translation [[1]]. And anyway Macra (river) is red, so delete both these redirects.

Karli Smith[edit]

Victims of a shooting generally do not have articles unless they become notable in their own right. It isn't appropriate to associate a search term of their names with an event which took their life. The individuals would already appear in search results on the event article without the need of an explicit redirect. I am unsure if there is specific policy around this, as WP:VICTIM merely mentions outright articles specifically. Bungle (talkcontribs) 09:12, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[]

well other victims of shootings typically get redirected to the shooting article. Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting for example. Victims such as Allison Wyatt, Grace McDonnell etc have redirects. Elizzaflanagan221 (talk) 12:28, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[]
Your argument that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is poor and is not in itself a reason why the aforementioned should be kept as redirects. We have to ask for what benefit and purpose does an article or redirect serve in its existence? I don't see any value in these redirects and as the victims are all deceased, cannot decide themselves if they'd want their identities associated with such an atrocity. I don't see any policy specific to this circumstance, which is probably why there is no agreed precedent. Bungle (talkcontribs) 13:24, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[]
well like i said, most articles on mass tragedy events have redirects with the victims names. If you think its morally wrong or u dont agree with it, you should make this a bigger discussion and not just solely on the FedEx shooting. Elizzaflanagan221 (talk) 17:18, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[]
I hear what you're saying, but a poor existing precedent (generally speaking) isn't necessary justification to pursue further of a similar nature. That is the reason I brought them to rfd, as it's a community decision, not solely my own view. As for the bigger discussion, maybe it is warranted, but it's quite a minefield and this only concerns these redirects yet to be reviewed. If the consensus is to keep, then it's a moot point anyway, though in such a scenario i'd hope to see a better rationale than "others exist too". Bungle (talkcontribs) 21:54, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[]
Existing precedent is the primary source of policies and guidelines, assuming that the policies Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not are to be believed. If we have no written rule against it, and it is frequently done, then it probably is the community's normal practice to do this. WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:18, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[]

  • Delete. I'm surprised there isn't a clear policy on this. We should be guided by WP:RPURPOSE. If the victim's name is widely known enough that "Killing of EXAMPLE" is a plausible article title and existing redirect, then I accept a redirect from "EXAMPLE" as well, because it is a plausible way that a reader might search for the relevant article, eg. Philando Castile, Jeff Doucet. Otherwise, I think we should avoid these redirects. I hold this position even, and maybe even especially, if the person is approaching notability for an article in their own right for reasons unrelated to their death. If there are other relevant articles on their life apart from their death, we don't want to usurp those by redirecting rather than showing search results. Daask (talk) 22:34, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[]

funny, but i found nothing suggesting that this was ever even speculated to be its name cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 17:02, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[]

it just occurred to me that "stubby" is an actual word
which means i should look for any mention of a bidoof with that nickname, which is worse than looking for a pokémon with that name for its species cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 20:03, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[]
Checked Bulbapedia. According to them, while there are no in-game trades featuring a Bidoof named Stubby in any generation, in the Sinnoh games, you can enter a Super Contest and end up facing down a Pokemon with the nickname "Stubby."
The issue is that Stubby is a
Barboach, not a Bidoof. This is true in both Gen 4 and Gen 8. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 21:04, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[]

Delete - Doing some edit history sleuthing it looks like the original redirect came from pokemon fans reading a (blurry pre-release leaked?) photo of bidoof, and seeing the word "stubby". See Talk:Bidoof#Bidoof and Stubby. The Bidoof article was briefly moved over to Stubby, then moved back when the name "Bidoof" was officially confirmed. Seeing as the redirect was based on WP:OR, it doesn't seem to be getting any use, and the fact there's another pokemon related to the name "stubby" (as Lunamann pointed out above), it should be deleted.

may admittedly be jumping the gun here. this doesn't seem similar to any possible spelling or pronunciation of its name cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 16:47, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[]

A redirect to Seznam.cz seems inappropriate given that these are two completely different websites. Zoznam.sk looks more like a tabloid than independent source, and I can't find any evidence that both sites are owned by the same agency/publisher. I would suggest to delete and leave as an empty page until someone did a research about the site with proper references. Clara A. Djalim (talk) 10:12, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[]

See page history. It's clearly not the creator's intention but this redirect implies Wikipedia considers the title to be an alternative term for LGBT, which is extremely undesirable to say the least. J947edits 02:55, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[]

Redirect as per lizthegrey only if the information Liz mentions is added to the article. If not, delete as per Maplestrip/Mable. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 13:26, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[]
