Completely unnecessary redirect due to the article "The". Does not need to exist in any capacity, and it says an overwhelming precedent for any noun on Wikipedia to have redirects utilizing "The", "A", or "An". Please delete. TNstingray (talk) 18:19, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect is in a non-standard format (should be "Bharti (surname)"), but in any case I think it's unnecessary. Bharti is a DAB, and there are only 2 people listed with Bharti as a surname on it. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 05:49, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do you believe "John (European rulers)" is a reasonable search term if someone is looking for some specific ruler named John? Both "ruler" and "European" are very broad terms, and as noted the plural is nonsensical. Lennart97 (talk) 19:21, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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. Editors disagreed on whether "splinter group" is a derogatory term, but all participants other than the nominator agreed that it could be a valid redirect. Although this was not raised in the discussion itself, it is worth noting that from a guideline perspective, insulting redirects are allowed per WP:RNEUTRAL if they are plausible search terms that take the reader to a relevant article. Sedevacantism was suggested as a target but did not receive any further discussion from other editors. signed, Rosguill talk 05:04, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think the verdict may be out on whether or not the term "splinter group" is inherently derogatory. For the most part, I thought the term means that it's something that left or broke of from a larger group. With that being said, the undisambiguated version of this redirect, Latin Rite Catholic Church, is a redirect that targets Latin Church ... but it used to target Latin Rite ... which is now a redirect that targets Latin liturgical rites (the phrase "Latin Rite Catholic Church" is currently not mentioned anywhere in Latin liturgical rites), so it doesn't even seem clear where the ambiguous version should target. I think at this point ... my vote is keep unless action is also taken with Latin Rite Catholic Church (such as merging it into this nomination) since I do not agree with the nominator's rationale, but would consider different action if Latin Rite Catholic Church is bundled with this nomination. Steel1943 (talk) 23:12, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is why there should be an article on the whole system, instead of separate articles on the individual planets. Maybe Kepler-277b and Kepler-277c should be merged into a Kepler-277 article. SevenSpheres (talk) 17:35, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems in regards to the current target, this redirect may not be accurate. The more accurate target may be Asphalt concrete, but even then the redirect may still be inaccurate. Either target is not about a road made of oil, even though oil, specifically petroleum, is either where the product is derived (Bitumen) or one material of various materials used in the topic (Asphalt concrete).

I have done a little research online, and it seems like "oiling a road" can refer to several different practices - either applying an actual oil such as used engine oil to a road, chiefly to reduce dust, or applying a fluid asphalt compound to a road surface in order to improve the smoothness and durability of the surface. Given that, I'm not sure there is an appropriate redirect for this. Perhaps a short article on these practices would be better? Brianyoumans (talk) 19:58, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. signed, Rosguill talk 04:51, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how helpful this redirect really is. There is some mention once about oil wells in the target article, but not the specific phrase. Also, Asphaltum oil well, the singular version, does not exist. Steel1943 (talk) 19:01, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Asphaltum typically designates a species of bitumen, including dark-colored, comparatively hard, and non-volatile solids; composed of hydrocarbons, substantially free from oxygenated bodies and crystallizable paraffin; sometimes associated with mineral matter, the non-mineral constituents being difficultly fusible and mostly soluble in carbon disulfide; the distillation residue yields considerable sulfonation residue" [1] - its likely we could add it as a type of Bitumen, maybe under production.

@Garfie489: Is your argument in general about Asphaltum (which redirects to Asphaltite)? This redirect discussion is specifically about the oil wells about which there was an article (well, more of a journal entry). Jay 💬 11:24, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My argument is that we could add a section to bitumen discussing it in more detail, but if another article already exists then its likely more suitable. I was more addressing the term of what the oil wells produce as thats been a source of confusion in the past month. Garfie489 (talk) 12:50, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The existing page was written about the abandoned oil wells of Asphaltum, Indiana, so that is one plausible target. Jay 💬 12:57, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This presumably is in reference to the Wurzels' song I am a Cider Drinker; however, that article does not itself have an article (other than an article about a cover version at Remember Me/I Am a Cider Drinker that does talk some about the song's history). I was thinking this could go there to be consistent with I Am A Cider Drinker as it is currently or be targeted to Cider, or stay where it is and I am unsure what the best option is.

Questionable redirect per WP:XY. If they are billed co-headliners, they shouldn't be BLARRED for that coheadlining tour. The outcome of this co-headlining tour should be deleted by the similar situation to the AFD, I don't know Aspects pointed which redirect would be a suitable target to, either Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie or To Venus and Back, however it indicates that it failed WP:NTOUR. As a result, it should be deleted, in which a co-headlining tours cannot be BLARed by without sending to AFD. 2600:1700:9BF3:220:9DFE:C535:CFDA:2BAF (talk) 03:07, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Eejit43: Per WP:RELIST: Relisting debates repeatedly in the hope of getting sufficient participation is not recommended, and while having a deletion notice on a page is not harmful, its presence over several weeks can become disheartening for its editors. Therefore, in general, debates should not be relisted more than twice. This is a fourth(!) relist. Why are you doing this? -- Tavix (talk) 15:11, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note that this was the last open entry of the January 17 page, and I have removed that page from RfD. So if this was a procedural relist in order to close out Jan 17, this is fine, and I would suggest any uninvolved closer to close this now without waiting a week.

Didn't realize there were so many relists, but yes, I did that to close out January 17th. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 15:33, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Just wanted to note that I went ahead and reopened the discussion, as a "no consensus" close made no sense at all. Please do not close this Eejit43, as this discussion should ideally be closed by an uninvolved editor, and there's really no harm in leaving it open for the time being. CycloneYoris talk! 22:39, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm really sorry I was just trying to go off of what Jay said- I wasn't entirely sure what to do but also didn't want to not do something that was requested of me. I guess I wouldn't qualify as an uninvolved closer anyway at that point. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 06:51, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eejit43: How do you not realize there were so many relists‽ Do you not read the discussion before deciding to relist? Also, responding to Jay's comment, I tend to find discussions in the back of the log get closed sooner than discussions that have been freshly relisted. This is the kind of discussion that we would much prefer to be closed (due to how long it's been open) over trying to squeeze out a little bit more fresh participation. -- Tavix (talk) 23:42, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
