• Comment – There are three places in India which are named Bhesan. Bhesan (sub-district) & Bhesan (village) are in Junagadh district, whereas Bhesan, Surat is in Surat district. As all of them are populated place which are legally recognized by the government of India, they meet WP:GEOLAND. So the above page should be converted to disambiguation page as it meets WP:DAB, and the aforementioned three red links should be added to it. BTW, Bhesan (village) & Bhesan, Surat are villages, so their red links can also be added to List of villages in India#Gujarat. - NitinMlk (talk) 20:37, 28 November 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Unprotect and undelete. At the time of the previous RfD, we didn't have the current convention of redirecting from emoji, and some votes were based on how the symbol appeared on certain platforms before it was properly standardized. This is one of the few emoji that can have a useful redirect and currently doesn't. NeonMerlin 07:10, 22 October 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Comment Wikipedia is not Emojipedia. Has anything suggested since the previous RFDs in 2015 that this icon has become more trendy and needing to be searched more? Has the icon appeared in news articles? There's a unicode on Japanese postal mark that was added in January 2016 [1]? Should similar tables be created for all the other Emojis? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:18, 23 October 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• It may be based on the postal mark, but it's a post office emoji. It's mentioned in both articles, (see Japan Post#Postal symbol) and in Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs, and should redirect somewhere. Japan Post is probably the most relevant, although there is currently more information at Japanese postal mark. WP:XY isn't a reason to delete here as this is one thing, although mentioned in more than one article, and there are no search results. Peter James (talk) 18:40, 31 October 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Comment I support the recreation somewhere, but I'm not sure where that would be. The emoji is Japanese Post Office, but I do not think there is an obvious article that fits the description. Japan Post was in service from 2003–2007. Japan Post Holdings is the current Japanese postal company, but the article doesn't provide much. It does mention that Japan Post Network runs the post offices, which is technically the closest to the emoji definition. However, that article is a one sentence stub. I'm thinking what needs to happen is to create an overview article (eg: Postal services in the United Kingdom as the closest current article that I can find). Anything from Japan Post not directly related to the 2003–2007 company would go there (including the section on the Japanese postal mark), along with the history (I can't find anything pre-2003 so that would need to be researched). Thoughts? -- Tavix ^(talk) 22:23, 13 November 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Keep deleted In most systems, this emoji does not appear as a postal mark, but as a post office (with said mark distinguishing it from a regular building). See the Emojipedia page. If it is recreated, Japan Post should be the target, not the postal mark itself.

Not listed or mentioned in target article. ... discospinster _talk 20:25, 11 November 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Keep. This term was on the list of phobias and was cited from here (deemed an unreliable source by an involved editor) and here, p. 157 (although reliable, this turned out to be a vague reference, so barophobia was ultimately removed from the list). I was unsure whether this was a "related term" (related to basophobia), an "alternative spelling" (of basophobia) or a "misspelling", and finally categorized it as a related term, perhaps incorrectly. After looking at it again, I suggest we keep this redirect, focus the target to the "B" section of the list of phobias, where basophobia is entered, and recategorize it as an "alternative spelling". Good search term.  Paine Ellsworth  ^put'r there  17:29, 12 November 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Delete unless a mention of it is reinstated in the list. If there's no mention there, then the redirect is just confusing: I can't see how it can be an alternative spelling for Basophobia: s and r don't really alternate in such contexts, and the concepts are quite different: the imagined fear that gravity might go wonky is different from the inborn fear of falling. – Uanfala 11:55, 23 November 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Just a gentle reminder that redirects from misspellings and some alt spellings are often not mentioned at their targets. This does not negate their value as search terms.  Paine Ellsworth  ^put'r there  05:40, 1 December 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I disagree that it's a misspelling or alt spelling. When I search the term, it comes back as a "fear of gravity" [2] [3], which is distinct from a "fear of falling", which is what's listed at the List of phobias page. -- Tavix ^(talk) 14:32, 1 December 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yes you are right to question that, and yet I've also considered that the distinction between "fear of falling" and "fear of gravity" is a very thin line indeed. If we keep in mind that there is little or nothing in the official, "expert" sources about the fear of gravity, then perhaps its not such a grand leap at all?  Paine Ellsworth  ^put'r there  00:37, 2 December 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Delete per Tavix. I'm not convinced by the idea that this is just a misspelling; I suspect a user would be searching for something by this name specifically, and don't think the target article is very hard to find generally. --BDD (talk) 16:51, 14 December 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• To editor AngusWOOF: kudes to you for the excellent research! The first link you give spells it differently... ANTIOPHOBIA (typo?), and while the other links may or may not be reliable, the editors involved with the phobia list seem to prefer at least some mention in expert literature about any given phobia name and definition.

There are a few articles that source the term "ultra-conservative" in reference to a group or movement, including: Wahhabism, Salafism, and Iranian Principlists. Arch-conservative didn't sound familiar to me, but a quick search shows it to be well-used. I found Arch-conservative targeting Reactionary, and I've added it to the discussion. Dumping these to Wiktionary is okay I guess, but I do not think someone searching this would be satisfied with what Wiktionary has to offer (ultraconservative means "extremely conservative"—if you are familiar the prefix ultra- you already knew that...). WP:REDLINK deletion is probably the better option as I can easily see scope for an article on ultraconservatism, describing the history, politics and groups associated with it.

Notability is not inherited, plus it doesn't seem appropriate to have more than one redirect for a single subject. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk • contribs) 00:06, 13 December 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Azerbaijan (wine) → Azerbaijani wine  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Misleading redirect. With such a parenthetical disambiguator it creates the expectation that it will lead to an article about a brand of wine called "Azerbaijan", or maybe a grape cultivar. Instead, it leads to the generic article about wine from Azerbaijan: this is upside down from the usual relation that is expressed by parenthetical disambiguators. The redirect had two incoming links, which I've fixed [11] [12]. Similar redirects were discussed last month. – Uanfala 14:11, 25 November 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• These exist for other countries. Wine has regions as well as brands and cultivars, and it can be labelled with the name of a country instead of a specific region, so this isn't misleading. "Country (wine)" is wine with the name of that country on the label, regardless of where it is sold; "Wine (Country)" would be that country's definition of wine - what can be produced or sold as wine there, regardless of where it is produced. Peter James (talk) 11:14, 26 November 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Well, from that point of view, yes, it seems less misleading. And yes, there are quite a few redirects like this but they have all been created by a single editor, and from what I've seen so far, their purpose has been to make it easier for them to produce links using the WP:Pipe trick: typing Country (wine)|]] to create a link displayed as the country name and pointing to the article about the wine from that country. – Uanfala 11:50, 26 November 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Keep. I feel like Peter James makes a good point. At wine stores, the labels for sections are often just the names of countries (e.g. Australia, South Africa, France, etc.) And unless there is a brand of wine that goes by the country's name, these would unambiguously point to the correct target.---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 19:25, 2 December 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Comment it may be suitable as an WP:ATDAB alternative. If a particular brand that goes by the country name is present, then it can be further discussed whether the (wine brand) is needed or what scheme the hatnotes should be to accommodate it.

I don't think Szechuan sauce mean Teriyaki.....?? C933103 (talk) 16:55, 27 November 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Note: Seems like the Szechuan sauce available in American McDonald's is Teriyaki but then I don't think that is the case for most Szechuan sauce outside American McDonalds. C933103 (talk) 17:20, 27 November 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Boldly retargeting to List_of_McDonald's_products#Sauces as some editors have recently written up a section on it along with the Rick and Morty reference. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:04, 28 November 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Retarget to Sichuan cuisine#Features where there's a list of various sauces. Szechuan is just an old spelling of Sichuan. Not teriyaki, and was known in the US long before McDonald's started using it [13]. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 01:21, 28 November 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • The section would need to be expanded if it is to be serve as a redirect target. It introduced Doubanjiang but not Mala sauce which is more commonly known as a Sichuan sauce, and then after some googling, seems like some also use the same word sichuan sauce to describe stir-fried sauce and dan dan noodle sauces, however they are only introduced as a cooking method and a food in the article, and their sauces are not mentioned. There could also be other sauces that are being named as sichuan sauce or szechuan sauce that need further research. C933103 (talk) 18:42, 30 November 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • It serves perfectly well as a redirect target right now: it discusses sauces in Sichuan cuisine and is the most obvious place where people will add more content in the future about such sauces. The deficiencies you mention neither make any other article the WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT nor serve a justification for deletion. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 02:16, 1 December 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Andover Townsman → Community Newspaper Holdings  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Not mentioned in target article. AFAIK, the newspaper is owned by North of Boston Media Group. Lordtobi (✉) 19:50, 26 November 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• It's in List of newspapers published by Community Newspaper Holdings. Community Newspaper Holdings has owned North of Boston Media Group since 2005 (according to Townsman owner merges with broadcast company, Andover Townsman, Sep 28, 2017).

  @Peter James: So should it be directed there instead? If so, additional redirects The Andover Townsman (proper title of the magazine), The Andover Townsman Online (title of the website) and Andover Townsman Online (title of the website when searched for without the preceding "The") should also be created equal to this one. Lordtobi (✉) 20:44, 26 November 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  It doesn't have "The" in the list at http://www.eagletribune.com/site/about-us.html. I think that the additional redirects are unnecessary (it's a list of newspapers, not of websites); I don't object to them either - Wikipedia:Redirects are cheap. Peter James (talk) 20:56, 26 November 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  Well, the "The" is still in the logo, so deffinetly applicable, and should be created if this one is kept. Online-suffixed are optional, of course. Lordtobi (✉) 21:00, 26 November 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  I agree about "The", it's been in the name before (https://www.mhl.org/sites/default/files/images/AndoverTownsmanimage.PNG) and it's in the logo; looking at others in the list use of "The" isn't consistent with their own websites. Peter James (talk) 21:20, 26 November 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
