• To be clear, while the English language technically allows for this words...existence...it’s not common usage at all. The redirect averages zero views. It’s not something people say, let alone search for... Sergecross73 msg me 19:34, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Sergecross73: Tavix's links prove this is a real term, and the redirect got 84 views last year - which is about 75-80 hits more than can be explained by undetected automated uses, random links, etc. This is uncommon but it is used and given that it is not misleading or in the way of anything else its existence causes no problems. Deletion on the other hand would be mildly harmful and bring no benefits. Thryduulf (talk) 23:59, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Context matters though. Think about what you’re saying. Thats roughly one view every 4 or 5 days. That’s extremely low. And Tavix has provided three sources for a prominent product line spanning 20 years. Anyone who follows the industry will tell you it’s not a common term in the least. Sergecross73 msg me 00:25, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete while the term could technically exist at best the fact the that the page views shows that no one is using it makes the redirect pointless.--69.157.252.96 (talk) 23:52, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Personally, I don't see pageviews as at all relevant in the majority of cases: we shouldn't have any qualms about deleting redirects with hundreds of views per day if they're misleading, and we shouldn't shy away from creating and looking after appropriate redirects to obscure topics that may see years without a single pageview. If using pageviews at all, we should look at context, as suggested by Sergecross73 just above: the most relevant page to compare to here is not some "ideal" redirect for a misspelling, nor the pageviews of the article itself, but an equivalent redirect to the same target, like the regular plural Xboxes. Surprisingly, last year the two redirects for the correct and "incorrect" plural received almost the same amount of views [4] (though the difference is much greater for this year so far). – Uanfala (talk) 17:33, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - It's inspired by a joke in a Brian Regan (comedian) skit (the version in the skit was "boxen of donuts"). We don't need to create redirects to other words based off on comedically incorrect word forms. Hog Farm (talk) 23:33, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep weird and unusual as it sounds, it's a valid plural term used in reliable sources. Juxlos (talk) 20:34, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - While it's goofy as hell, the term has been used quite a lot it seems, as stated above, and deletion seems like the wrong call. I'm inclined to think that we just leave this redirect alone. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 11:21, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:R#D8. Incorrect random removal of the first syllable of the given name of either Tan Kim Huat or Tan Eng Huat, but not the correct name of anyone, and thus not suitable for disambiguation per WP:PTM. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 14:27, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Disambig It is a very plausible mistake for someone used to British or American naming customs to interpret "Tan Kim Haut" or "Tan Eng Haut" as firstname, middle name and surname - especially if the context in which they've seen or heard the name does not indicate they are Chinese names.

  • Tan Huat may refer to... is not a falsehood. If someone arrives at this page they will have either seen one of these people referred to as "Tan Huat" or may be referring to one of these people in that manner themselves. Thryduulf (talk) 15:40, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

      • It's true that neither of them have that name, but nowhere are we saying that these are their name, we're only saying that "Tan Huat can refer to", which it is. It's not the correct way to refer to them, but again we aren't saying that it is (or isn't). Thryduulf (talk) 17:32, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • But that's not true, "Tan Huat" cannot refer to either of these people. -- Tavix ^(talk) 17:40, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
          • You mean other than when people use "Tan Huat" to refer to those people? You can't correctly refer to those people using that name, but just as you can incorrectly refer to Isabel Preysler as "Isabel Presley" you can (and it is likely people do) refer to either of these people as "Tan Huat". We make no assertions about the correctness of referring to them in this way (and nor should we, correcting any misconceptions or misunderstandings is the job of the article). Thryduulf (talk) 19:21, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as ambiguous. I agree with BDD that you'd need a better reason to justify a disambiguation page consisting solely of errors, and there isn't one here - if you put "Tan Huat" into the search engine, the top two results outside of this redirect are indeed Tan Kim Huat and Tan Eng Huat. Someone making this mistake can easily find what they're looking for that way without the need for such a disambiguation page. ~ mazca ^talk 02:25, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. Internal search results are adequate for people under the impression that Tan is a first name; in addition to contradicting PTM, a dab page has the potential to reify the reader's misconception. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 23:58, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak disambiguate. In Southeast Asian dialects of Chinese, it is (was?) common to create nicknames - especially for older men - by skipping the middle word of a three-word personal name, leaving only surname + final word of given name. Shortening "Tan Kim Huat" or "Tan Eng Huat" to "Tan Huat" would fall into this category, and I wouldn't say it is necessarily an inadmissible PTM. As Special:Search/Tan Huat~ doesn't return either of these two people on the first page of results, I'm somewhat swayed by the argument that a DAB is better than deletion. Deryck C. 16:52, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment the usual threshold for a nickname redirect/dab isn't just that the nickname is plausible in general terms, but that it's actually used to refer to the specific target(s); e.g. we deleted "Billy Bentinck" even though "Billy" is a a potential nickname for "William".

• Disambiguate; Thryduulf convinced me in the first place and Deryck adds on to that. There's no harm in creating a disambig, and we don't have to necessarily create falsehoods. Try: With Tan Huat, you may be looking for:. — J947 ^{(user | cont | ess)}, at 22:53, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: There are many Chinese names which format the characters as (Family)(1st)(2nd) and its fairly easy to find a matching instance of (Family)(2nd) between two people on the wiki (and even more elsewhere). By the argument of having to disambiguate (Family)(2nd) because any name of the format (Family)(1st)(2nd) is interpreted as (First)(Middle)(Last), then we would need to create disambiguation pages such as Lim Eng→Lim Guan Eng or Lim Lip Eng; or Goh Swee → Goh Keng Swee or Goh Swee Swee; plus any name of that format would be justified in having an accompanying redirect (Family)(2nd) → (Family)(1st)(2nd) in order to aid searching. Unless this is a very common search term used to look up a specific person, redirects of this type could be ambiguous and confusing and would also qualify for WP:R#D2. -- AquaDTRS (talk) 19:45, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Deryck C's comment gave me pause but I don't think it's enough that "Than Huat" is conceivable as a nickname for us to be creating a disambiguation page. The bar has to be a bit higher – either this form needs to be actually attested for both people, or the format should be pervasively used (as is the format of given name + family name in Western society). The search results are doing an excellent job here (no need to chase away the needed articles by using tildes) and they're also guaranteed to stay up to date as new articles about other people following this pattern eventually get created. – Uanfala (talk) 00:36, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and retarget, respectively. They're definitely referring to the same thing, so I'd be fine if it went the other way, but it looks like the drawl is more of a subtopic to the accent as a whole (that was news to me—colloquially, I'd think they'd be considered synonyms).

Also note that No Malarkey listed this redirect for deletion after trying and failing to delete the sourced material the redirect points to.[5]. I do not believe that the reason given above is the actual reason No Malarkey listed this for deletion. I believe that the real reason is at [6]; "The redirect that was present for this article was one that would imply a false narrative and lead those seeking information on this topic to believe an unfounded conspiracy. For that reason, I have elected to submit an RFD nomination", which is not a valid reason for deleting a redirect.

• Delete, redirect to Joe Biden#Allegations of inappropriate physical contact. If somebody is searching the name of somebody making an allegation of inappropriate physical conduct against Joe Biden, then it seems far more fitting to bring them to the sub-section of the Joe Biden page on such allegations. It doesn't make sense to redirect to a completely different topic, even if the person making the allegation is briefly mentioned on that page. Domeditrix (talk) 10:12, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  So you want this redirect to point to a section that does not mention Tara Reade or her allegations that Biden sexually assaulted her by pinning her up against a wall and digitally penetrating her,^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]} and instead want it to point to a section about Biden's "inappropriate proximity to women and children, including kissing and touching" that occurred ten years later? --Guy Macon (talk) 15:08, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Not sure what refspamming here is supposed to achieve, but it's also worth noting that the allegation is also no longer included on the page for Media blackout. It therefore makes absolutely no sense to redirect to there. Domeditrix (talk) 15:33, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  The references are to counter your false statement that Tara Reade's allegations that Biden sexually assaulted her by pinning her up against a wall and digitally penetrating her are the same thing as several women's allegations ten years later that Biden kissed and touched them without permission. --Guy Macon (talk) 17:44, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete and protect If the RfC at Talk:Joe Biden#RfC:_Should_Tara_Reade's_sexual_assault_allegation_against_Biden_be_included_in_the_article? decides to mention Tara Reade, then it should be redirected there. Otherwise, the consensus on wikipedia is not to mention her.—Naddruf (talk ~ contribs) 15:46, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Protect why? Do you have any evidence that anyone here is in the habit of creating redirects after there has been a consensus for removal? Please AGF. --Guy Macon (talk) 15:57, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Also, please do not misrepresent the current consensus. Talk:Joe Biden#RfC: Should Tara Reade's sexual assault allegation against Biden be included in the article? is currently at 50 "Yes", 21 "No" or "Not Yet". --Guy Macon (talk) 16:04, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Current votes aren't very important. The RfC has to finish before she is mentioned. For now it's better to delete so people won't wonder why it isn't mentioned.—Naddruf (talk ~ contribs) 16:31, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Questionably plausible typo aside, there's obviously other things that make these two redirects less plausible. 1) Their target refers to the summer of 2013 (the summer of the next year has its equivalent article), and 2) the first one's correctly spelled counterpart was deleted in 2013 (strangely, the incorrectly spelled version survived all this time). The only link to one of them also appears to from the second one to the first. Regards, SONIC678 02:40, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Robert Cohen (acting theorist) → Robert Cohen (playwright)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The disambiguator of this redirect is an undefined term on Wikipedia. For one, there has never been an article or redirect at Acting theorist, Acting theorists, Acting theory or Acting theories; not having a clear way of defining these terms in such a manner leaves a reader scratching their head trying to figure out what an "acting theorist" is. Also, trying to search for these terms through Wikipedia's search function doesn't help in attempting to locate what the definition of the disambiguator is either. (In fact, I also recently nominated the related category for deletion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 April 2#Category:Acting theorists due to the unclear nature of this term.) So, I'm proposing this redirect be deleted due to having an unclear, undefined disambiguator. (Also, note that this redirect currently has no incoming links in the "article" namespace; its target page had been sitting at the title of the redirect for several years.)

• Dan Price → Gravity Payments  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This page was locked several years ago due to an edit war about COI and notability. At the time, Price was Wikipedia:BIO1E and only really covered for this minimum wage increase. In the years since Price has been the subject of many reputable articles related to not only his his minimum wage increase but also lawsuits, abuse claims, and, just a few days ago, his pay cut to help his company survive covid-19.

This is enough to consider Price notable distinctly from Gravity Payments. His name is in the headlines of articles and people are going to search for him and may not care about his company. It is valuable to show people both the positives and controversies of Price distinctly from his company.

I apologize for not making this request earlier in the process but I am newer to wikipedia and didn't see that he previously had a page until after making this draft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Dan_Price

Let me know if this makes sense RayScript (talk) 18:32, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@RayScript: Hello! Did you see the text at the top of the page? "If you want to replace an unprotected redirect with an article, you do not need to list it here. Turning redirects into articles is wholly encouraged. Be bold!" That would suggest you could just create the article by restoring the old version of the article that is in the redirected page (see page history) or by integrating your new draft. That might involve a history merge, so someone with more expereince in that area may be better able to comment on the best way forward.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 21:37, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ThatMontrealIP: Hello thanks for the response! I did see the text at the top but the Dan Price page appears to be protected. Unless I am misunderstanding how it works. If it is protected is there a different process I should follow? RayScript (talk) 00:03, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Redirect and Replace it with Article - I reviewed Draft:Dan Price and saw the history and advised User:RayScript that one way to get consensus to change a protected redirect would be RFD. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:06, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Support article replacing redirect - @RayScript: I created the original Dan Price article in 2015 after reading about his $70,000 minimum salary offer in the news. He had also been recognized earlier by President Obama. The article that I was happy with at the time was [[7]]. There may be some info there you can use. After that, company employees started going in and adding promotional info. I went so far as to contact the company to ask them to stop, but they claimed they didn't know who was doing it. As punishment, the article was turned into a redirect. I tried to restore it and asked them to check the IP addresses of the editors to prove that I wasn't an employee, but nonetheless got lumped in with COI accusations and got my first and only block. I still think he's more notable than the company, and if anything a redirect from Gravity Payments should go to his article, which neither he nor the company would want, but it is what it is. Good luck with building consensus. The person who reported me and got me blocked hasn't been active in years, while I continue to put in time when I can to improve the encyclopedia.

Ah, more Amercan stuff! Although this typo is somewhat plausible, I'm not sure how helpful these are, as per this other discussion below... Regards, SONIC678 17:32, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Optical Society of America is The Optical Society's legal business name, with The Optical Society it's DBA and name used by the organization. The Optical Society was founded as Optical Society of America in 1916, but had it's name change in the 1990s (I will have to research exact dates). For most of it's history The Optical Society was know as Optical Society of America, and it's primary journal is still called Journal of the Optical Society of America (JOSA). Does that help why I setup the redirect? mooP (talk) 17:59, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Moop2000: Yes, it does, and Optical Society of America is definitely a valid redirect. The redirect I nominated here is its cousin Optical Society of Amerca, which has a misspelling and is more in the gray zone of validity. Does this help answer your question?

"Optical Society of Amerca" has both a typo, AND a less common phrasing, so I'm honestly not sure which way to go with it, but "United States Of Amerca" is an extremely plausible, single letter typo that's gotten 318 people where they wanted to go in the past 30 days alone.

• Delete both. We shouldn't have redirects where a common word inside a longer phrase is misspelt: the typo is handled alright by the search engine, and the presence of these two redirects can pre-empt that engine from auto-correcting, which has the net effect of making it much harder for readers who make this typo inside any number of other phrases. – Uanfala (talk) 16:29, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • The United States Of Amerca redirect (at least for me) has very unhelpful search results. — J947 ^{(user | cont | ess)}, at 01:32, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • But this is exactly my point, J947. The search you've linked to has unhelpful results precisely because of the existence of the two misspelt redirects United States Of Amerca and Amerca's 10 most wanted – the search engine finds an exact match in two titles so it spits these out and stops at that. Compare with what happens when you try a phrase containing the similarly misspelt term amercan (for which no corresponding redirects exist) [8] – the search engine doesn't find a match for amercan so it automatically corrects it to american and returns the expected results. – Uanfala (talk) 16:13, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • That's a fair point, so I'll change my !vote to delete for Optical Society of Amerca as that one isn't highly used, and weak delete for United States Of Amerca. Only delete either if Amerca's 10 most wanted is deleted too, otherwise the deletions would be worthless. I've fixed all the misspellings in the articles. — J947 ^[cont] 23:05, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
