SURPRISE! _signed, Rosguill ^talk 22:20, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, its official name is Islamic Republic of Pakistan and even its flag has the Islam sign and color green and its capital is Islamabad, which proves it even further. So by definition it's Pakislam. I could also do Afghanislam, Turkmenislam, Uzbekislam, Tajikislam but I probably won't because they are rather misspellings.Barracuda41 (talk) 23:35, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't make any sense at all. Thryduulf (talk) 10:53, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. Islamic Republic of Pakistan is where Pakislam comes from. It's also easy to do so since istan and islam are similar. Barracuda41 (talk) 16:10, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Barracuda41: I understand how you constructed the neologisms, what doesn't make sense is why you think this makes it a good redirect. Christianity is the official religion of Argentina, should therefore Christentina, Christiantina or Christina redirect to Argentina? What about Liechtianity → Liechtenstein? Cambuddhism → Cambodia? These are all identically constructed neologisms. Thryduulf (talk) 11:06, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah but Pakislam and Pakistan both have 8 letters and Pakislam only changes 2 letters in Pakistan. Besides, Liechtenstein has no official religion, nor does Cambodia, let alone Argentina, while Pakistan DOES. And Pakislam and Pakistan still rhyme. P.S. If Islambul redirects to Istanbul why doesn't my redirect work ???? Barracuda41 (talk) 19:47, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Islambul is explained in the article - see Istanbul#Islambol - I'll refine the redirect to point to that section. Absolutely nothing else in your comment is at all relevant to the redirect - "Pakislam" is a neologism not an established term for the target - see WP:NEO and most pertinently WP:R#DELETE point 8, "If the redirect is a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name, it is unlikely to be useful." Thryduulf (talk) 00:33, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you read the above, it's not entirely a neologism because Google gives you results for pakistan if you google pakislam. Barracuda41 (talk) 02:35, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. What I see in search results is a mix of non-notable deviantart pages and social media posts mixed in with "Pakislam Positive League" and "Pak Islam Party" which are 2 (I think) very minor political parties that are not mentioned at List of political parties in Pakistan (the first might even be defunct) and about which I would struggle to write even a single encyclopaedic sentence about.

What do you mean derogatory? It is NOT derogatory and everyone knows that. Besides it's more like a misspelling and it's allowed to be redirected because again Pakistan's official name mentions Islam. Barracuda41 (talk) 19:41, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

For it to be reached with spelling typos, letters l and t would have to be as close as letters m and n, otherwise the argument devolves down to- there are some people in the world who know "paki"s (a well established racist slur) are from an islamic country and so, when they hear pakistan, they will send their ears on holiday and just assume the name of the country is "pakislam", and we need to have a redirect so that those people have a jolly comfortable time in wikipedia.

Too vague to redirect to this article in particular. See also: Naruto. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 12:37, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete or disambig. The most prominent single use seems to be The Fox Boy, a book by Peter Walker (author) about Ngataua Omahuru but we don't have an article about the book or the author, nor is there any mention in the biography we do have other than being used as a reference (and it's also used as a reference in at least two other articles). We do have a few sentences on and an image of a statue by this name at Menstrie#Recreation, but while that would be enough for a disambiguation page entry or hatnote it's not the primary topic by a long way. Fox Boy and Fox Girls are two background, non-speaking, characters mentioned at The Mysteries of Alfred Hedgehog#Russard family but that's even more obscure. While Tails (character) does get referred to as a fox boy in a few fanfictions, as far as I can tell it's not a name for him or more common than for him than for any other young male fox in furry (fan)fiction.

• Recommend a disambig page per LukeSurl's last point. Perses (Titan) and Shiva are both described as gods of destruction on their articles. It's not quite the same as war god and "destruction" as such doesn't seem to be a common enough association for an entire article about it, so a disambig might work best. —Nizolan ^{(talk · c.)} 16:45, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Disambig per Nizolan. In addition to those they list and the current target, there is Beerus (a character from Dragon Ball), Batara Kala (Javanese and Balinese) and Nergal (from ancient Mesopotamia) are both clearly described in our articles as being gods of destruction. Erra (god) (Akkadian), Typon (Greek) and Set (deity) (Egyptian) don't use the exact phrase in the article but should be listed. Trillion: God of Destruction, a Japanese roleplaying video game merits at least a see-also, I'm not sure about Loki or List of Marvel Comics characters: A#Abraxas. Thryduulf (talk) 18:10, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  Batara Kala and Nergal definitely belong there. I'm not sure about the others. Ironically, Set is only described as a god of destruction on Typhon's page! They and Erra fit a general bill of "gods of bad stuff", but might be more appropriately listed elsewhere. Set and Typhon are already listed at Chaos gods, which I included in the See also. --BDD (talk) 18:40, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tails (fox) in particular is an extremely useful redirect. --LukeSurl ^{t c} 12:38, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• A disambiguation at Big (cat) would violate WP:INCOMPDAB. The recommendation given there would be to instead redirect to the parent disambiguation, Big (disambiguation). That would not be desirable because Big cat would not be a valid entry there. Instead, a few options to get around that would be to keep the redirect at the current target of List of Sonic the Hedgehog characters#Big the Cat and hatnote there to Big cat, retarget to Big cat (disambiguation) and add Big the Cat there, or even retarget to Big cat. -- Tavix ^(talk) 17:51, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Godawari, Bagmati → Godawari, Lalitpur  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I redirected this last year to Godawari Municipality on the basis of this erroneous PROD (which if carried out would have caused WP:ATTREQ problems). Godawari Municipality was subsequently moved to Godawari, Lalitpur. I now see, however, that Lalitpur_District,_Nepal#Administrative division lists Godawari Municipality and Bagmati Rural Municipality as separate administrative divisions, suggesting that Godawari cannot be in Bagmati. This seems to have to do with the establishment in 2015 of the Provinces of Nepal: Godawari may have been in the now-defunct Bagmati Zone (though that article doesn't say it was) but is not in the Bagmati Rural Municipality, itself established in 2017. In short, I'm not entirely sure what's happened here, or what's correct, or how to find out, but having created the redirect I feel a degree of responsibility and would appreciate others' input. WP:ATTREQ still applies, so deletion is probably not an option here, but if the current target is inaccurate a new one will have to be found. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 13:24, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Bagmati, Lalitpur is a rural municipality in Lalitpur District established in 2017. Godawari is in Lalitpur District, a part of now-defunct Bagmati zone. Godawari municipality and Bagmati Rural Municipality are local levels in Lalitpur District. Arms & Hearts, I think you little confused. ~SS49~ {talk} 14:00, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment Previously a lot of local levels were followed by zonal names in article title. Now all are moved to replace zonal name by district name. ~SS49~ {talk} 14:18, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm more than happy to admit that I'm confused! So the gist is that "Godawari, Bagmati" is no longer strictly accurate, but is a plausible search term because Godawari was previously in Bagmati Zone? In that case, can we add a mention of this to the article? Otherwise the redirect strikes me as potentially confusing, especially given the existence of a new entity called Bagmati that Godawari isn't part of. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 14:20, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, Godawari was previously in Bagmati Zone. I'll mention it in the article. ~SS49~ {talk} 14:23, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• It can be deleted or be kept. Either would be fine. Previously, the full address of someone in Godawari would have been "[community], Godawari VDC - ward no. [#], Lalitpur district, Bagmati zone, Central Development Region, Nepal". As such, for example weather, map or travel websites would pick "Godawari, [one of the three], Nepal" so, all combinations of the above would have been valid redirects. People actually familiar would look for Godawari first (could lead to a ton of other places), then they'd try Godawari, Nepal or Godawari, Lalitpur. People unfamiliar would have tried Godawari, Bagmati, as well which is as valid of an argument today as it was then. Zonal divisions were always defunct (had offices but didn't do anything) but they were used in addresses in good measure. The current address format is "[Community], Godawari Municipality - ward no. [#], Lalitpur district, Province no. 3, Nepal. But, putting "Bagmati zone" between district and province is still not invalid. Since we have a new Bagmati rural municipality, now Bagmati has to be disambiguated to Zone, River and Rural Municipality. But, whenever, one mentions Godawari, Bagmati, it's clear from context it means Godawari municipality, Bagmati zone. As far as the usefulness of a redirect goes, those people who'd have searched for Godawari, Bagmati are still likely to search for it, those that wouldn't have still won't. Regardless of the validity, the demographic that the redirect services hasn't changed, as internationally, the administrative restructuring has yet to be noticed, and even if it were, I wouldn't expect them to change anything to reflect it, as in practicality, the restructuring has little to no impact. So, it's as valid as it was before. It's also as invalid as it was before. It's also as useful and as useless as it was before. I haven't heard of a smaller place named "Godawari" in Bagmati rural municipality. If and when it turns out there's another Godawari there, we can redirect it to there. Otherwise, there's no problem. So, keep it; or remove it as you wish. I'd still expect some website out there to have "Godawari, Bagmati, Nepal" in there database though. Whatever you do, probably a good idea to fix that circular redirect though. Usedtobecool ^✉️ ✨ 14:25, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• comment There are a lot of redirects of this kind. See All pages with titles containing Bagmati. No need to discuss about Godawari, Bagmati only. And there is no valid reason to delete all the redirects. Pinging @Arms & Hearts: and @Usedtobecool:. ~SS49~ {talk} 13:28, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  I came across this one in particular because of the unhelpful proposed deletion I mentioned in the nomination. I obviously don't normally edit articles about Nepali geography. I'd be happy for this to be kept if we could add to the target a mention that Godawari was formerly in Bagmati Zone. You said above that you'd do this but it doesn't seem to have happened. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 14:08, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Usedtobecool: There is WP:NOTBROKEN, which is specifically about links to redirects. There is also a short essay, "Wikipedia:If it ain't broke, don't fix it" with the WP:IFITAINTBROKE and WP:DONTFIXIT shortcuts which you might be thinking of. Thryduulf (talk) 10:46, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hey thanks! I knew about the first one but I think it's about indirect redirects, and I didn't want to be accused of confusing syntax with semantics. But with all the rest you've linked, I'm sure I'll find one suited for each occasion. Usedtobecool ^✉️ ✨ 12:31, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:XNR with no internal links, result of a page move on 4 April 2019 by User:Bradv to User:FlippyFlink/Bring Your Own Device which itself now redirects to mainspace (content fork, according to EC by User:Legacypac later on same day).

Keep, we keep Draft redirects after moves typically. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 03:15, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Do we? I couldn't find anything that says that we should or shouldn't. I would have thought this is dealt with on a case-by-case basis depending on internal links, e.g. from talk pages. Although I can't find anything to say so, I presume that external sites shouldn't be linking to draft articles expecting them to be stable. But even if we do generally keep draft links as redirects, this is a little more complicated because it was moved from user space, then back again, so really it's a vestige of those moves and nothing more. 94.21.252.162 (talk) 03:43, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
