• Wikipedia:X1 → Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion  (talk · links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Since it's now reported at WT:CSD#X1 that the last of the "Neelix redirects" has been deleted, there is no longer any need for this criterion, thence no need for this redirect. I shall take the page to CSD, but as a stopgap and to let you know, will list the shortcut to it here at RfD. Si Trew (talk) 21:36, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - even if we're not going to use the criterion any more (and that point is not yet decided btw) there will still be a mess of former redirect pages with "WP:X1" in their deletion logs, which will become broken if we delete this. WP:RFD#K5. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 21:41, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Hedge priest → Itinerant preacher  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The two concepts are almost totally unrelated. Anmccaff (talk) 17:14, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect: Much more likely to refer to the Catholic persecution during the Penal Laws in Ireland or the Hedge schools because Catholic schools were prohibited. Suggest redirect to one or other, probably the latter. ww2censor (talk) 15:01, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But it can also refer to a rural preacher, an incompetant, a sham priest, &cet, &cet, ad naus. I think it could actually use an article, maybe, if only for the disambiguation. Anmccaff (talk) 18:10, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. I think I've also seen "hedge priest" as referring to covert RC priests in England in early C16 at times when Catholicism was illegal. IMO this needs research, and could be an article. I agree that it has nothing to do with the article itinerant preacher in its present form. Narky Blert (talk) 02:05, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Doing the resarch I might have done earlier. Oxford English Dictionary (the 1928 brute). "Hedge-priest: An illiterate or uneducated priest of inferior status." First reported 1550. Narky Blert (talk) 01:41, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Long-obsolete expression, with a different meaning to that of the target. One for Wiktionary, not Wikipedia. Narky Blert (talk) 10:34, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. I don't know this at all and so bunging in as ignorant. Has this anything to do with one hedging one's bets, like the the Vicar of Bray? Si Trew (talk) 19:54, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

unfortunately hedging -> hedge (disambiguation) where hedge (finance) is mentioned, which I suppose is pretty much the same as hedging one's bets, but of course bookmaking although far more sophisticated than the stock market always gets short shrift. I really must get round to making some sense out of our bookmaking articles some day, they are in a parlous state and have been for years. Si Trew (talk) 19:56, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@SimonTrew: "Hedge a bet" was originally "hedge in (or, off) a bet". Earliest citation in OED is 1670. That's the correct era for the musical vicar, but has a different origin - he hedged his bets, but wasn't a hedge-priest. Narky Blert (talk) 01:41, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Narky Blert: that's interesting, I only subscribe to the Journal of Alcohol and Alcoholism so I was not aware of that publication. You're probably not aware of that publication. So, False friends, then, but one for Wiktionary not for us at WP. Si Trew (talk) 02:12, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Previous year snow falling → Last Year's Snow Was Falling  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

• Comment. Well, I found one article that uses that title: [1]. I agree that it's a bad translation of the title and isn't widely used, but I guess I figured at the time that a little-used redirect doesn't hurt things. Esn (talk) 07:02, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This might be okay then as an alias. I also saw this writeup in a book that uses The Last Year's Snow Was Falling and an attempted romanization. [2] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:32, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as attested plausible alternative translation of foreign-language title. (I'm not concerned by the sentence-case title - Wikipedia does the same.) We can think about deleting when something else called "last year snow falling" competes for the title. Interestingly, I've just moved the associated article on Chinese Wikipedia because they translated padal with the perfect tense marker rather than the past imperfect marker...

• Still delete for me. When I searched for this I got to page 10 of results without seeing anything at all about the Trumps. Almost all of the results were about a "DJ TJ" who we don't have an article about, and there were a handful of weird numerology sites. In 90 days prior to this nomination this redirect got a total of 6 hits. If your search results are different from mine, take this as an example of stuff invented on Wikipedia causing external search tools to skew: if DJTJ is a redirect to Donald Trump Jr., the Google assumes that usage is valid and adjusts its search results. Since the page has the RfD banner on it now Google has adapted. We should not have redirects for every thing that could possibly be referred by an initialism, unless the initialism itself is commonly used, and this one is not. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 12:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ditto. Few of the websites Ranze links above seem to be notable, The Tab appears to be the only one with an article. The AN/I thread I linked at pussy crushing's RfD shows he has a history of dumping unreliable sources. Ribbet32 (talk) 17:28, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Could you stick to arguing about the actual topic and not engage in ad hominem attacks? There's too much of this, we should have policies enacting consequences for people who engage in this behavior. Reliable sources are needed for supporting controversial claims that people may disagree about. Pointing out that several sources do use the DJTJ initialism for him is not controversial or disputed. The question is only if these sources are notable. How reliable they are in reporting news doesn't matter because this isn't about the content in their articles, just the use of the initialism.

Your wish is my command. Since it was created back in 2008 and has not been changed since, I think it will be odd if it goes by G5, though. Si Trew (talk) 21:01, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've declined the G5 request. Looking through the block log, the creator of this redirect was banned several months after creating this redirect for abusing multiple accounts, but no link was established between this user and any previously banned users the purported sockmaster wasn't banned at the time of the redirect's creation. Therefore the creator should not be deemed banned at the moment this redirect was created. Deryck C. 01:22, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The user is linked to an account which was blocked prior to this redirect being created, but all of that user's socks were only blocked for 1 week for some reason. Apparently we did things differently back then, or maybe someone screwed up. No matter, it seems Deryck Chan is right. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 01:58, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that the accounts were divided into multiple groups that were internally consistent but there was insufficient link between the groups. So the CUs blocked all but one accounts of each group indefinitely as sock, but the oldest account only for 1 week as punishment. And then that person / those people retired from Wikipedia and never came back. Deryck C. 11:04, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
