• Comment. I'm kind of surprised there is no entry at the list page, since Jaxxon is fairly notorious as a character design in Star Wars and has recently shown up in SW media in the past couple of years. I could see there being sufficient RS to justify an entry and therefore a redirect. -- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 06:16, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've re-added the entry to the list with some additional sourcing. I think there's enough coverage to keep it as a list entry. Okay with a hatnote there to the other suggestions given here. -- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 04:29, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As such, the list contains only information from the Skywalker Saga films, the 2008 animated TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and other films, shows, or video games published or produced after April 2014. This is the current list criteria, which the character does not meet as he does not appear in the visual medium. TNstingray (talk) 12:11, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Which makes no sense because the article says This incomplete list of characters from the Star Wars franchise contains only those which are considered part of the official Star Wars canon, as of the changes made by Lucasfilm in April 2014 and the comic books are very much part of that canon. There's no principled reason why minor characters who appear briefly in an animated show or video game are included, but characters with significant and in-depth real world coverage and analysis like Doctor Aphra and Jaxxon (less news media hits because older, but more coverage in academic books and articles because of his prominence of Disney's less than stellar development of its non-movie characters) are not. -- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 15:38, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe the list criteria needs to be changed. I have slowly worked on separate drafts of characters for different sections of canon: OT, PT, Clone Wars, etc., to match the existing list for The Mandalorian, as the current big list is quickly becoming too broad. I would agree with you that there is no principled reason why minor background characters should be included; hence why I have removed many of them and requested the deletion of many redirects. Doctor Aphra appears to be significant enough to include. Jaxxon is not, as his coverage is neither significant nor in-depth. There was merely a reaction to his cartoon design, which is a generic reaction to most additions to Star Wars canon (recall Ewoks, Gungans, Lurmens, Babu Frik, Noti ...) TNstingray (talk) 13:28, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said, Jaxxon gets coverage by books from reputable publishers because he is so symbolic of the ridiculousness of early Marvel Star Wars comics. I'm undecided if it's enough for notability purposes, but it should be enough for inclusion somewhere on Wikipedia. [2][3][4][5][6][7] There are also additional examples if you do a Wikipedia Library search. -- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 02:01, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

From what I can tell, this is a pejorative term related to a conspiracy theory of Jewish supremacy. I cannot find this specific term in any academic literature or in mainstream news outlets, though the related term Jewnited States has been named in academic literature (Clark, 1990; Kimmell, 2003).

• Keep: My google might be biased as I'm located in the US, but searching google for "Russia Russia Russia" gives me almost exclusively information related to Trump's association with Russia and specifically his use of the term to dismiss the Meuller investigation. It's not the most common search term, but at least from my searching it was rather unambiguous unless it were to be retargetted to a more diffuse article about Trump and Russia rather than the Special Counsel investigation. TartarTorte 13:02, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't get those results at all in my search; the nearest association was to an NCIS episode with that title. Everything else just was generic results about Russia for the most part. While you probably uncovered the reason why it exists, which I thank you for your help in that, I still am unsure whether this redirect will be useful for uninitiated readers, and may be possibly surprising to end up at an American-side investigation (especially given the fact that the only text in the title... is Russia). If this context was explained at the Mueller special counsel investigation page, this redirect would likely be more acceptable. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 16:18, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My search results were similar to Utopes'. Trump's dismissal was in the list (although sources disagreed on how many times he said the word) but equally prominent were reports of this being chanted by supporters of Putin following at least one of his speeches, the NCIS episode, discussions of NATO policy and two different podcasts about the Wagner Group uprising.

• Trump effect → Trumpism  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This phrase has a wide variety of meanings: Donald Trump's contribution to an increase in racially inflammatory speech, his contribution to increased bullying in schools, his contribution to new aesthetic developments in contemporary art, and so on. None of these are discussed in the target article, where the title phrase also isn't used, and none seem to be discussed in any depth in any other article.

ButlerBlog (talk) 12:38, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  WP:RLANG expands on criterion 8 from WP:R#DELETE: If the redirect is a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name that is not mentioned in the target, it is unlikely to be useful. In particular, redirects in a language other than English to a page whose subject is unrelated to that language (or a culture that speaks that language) should generally not be created. My comment is arguing that the film is not related to German culture, and therefore a German-language redirect should not exist. Judging from your reply, it seems my comment was too concise to actually engage with. I'm sorry for that. Also, I'd like some clarification: is "one could possibly argue" meant to signify that you're arguing in favour of keeping the redirect based on that criterion? ArcticSeeress (talk) 20:35, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  A guideline-basedpolicy-based reason is that WP:Wikipedia is not a dictionary, including a translation dictionary. If it were, and redirects were handled accordingly, we could have people adding thousands of redirects to each of a million articles on here. But it isn't and we shouldn't. The essay makes very good points and makes a good guideline whether it's an official one or not. Largoplazo (talk) 21:52, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I'm not convinced that "third most-successful film in Germany" is sufficiently close a connection to count as a linguistic affinity. I note that Das Dschungelbuch is not a redirect, though more than twice as many Germans went to see Disney's Jungle Book and that even had a German-American director. The only other language-based redirects to Once Upon a Time in the West are in Italian, which indisputably has an affinity. On the other hand, there's no redirect for Il était une fois dans l'Ouest even though the film had more views in France than Germany, and our article spends more time discussing its reception in France.

The subject here does not have a close relationship to a German-speaking culture, as it's an English language film made by Italians and Americans.

not mentioned at target -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:46, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Yes, and? Did you read the paper I put in the edit summary? In the Village of Guaraparim is a piece of Tupi-language literature—in fact, a really notable one. If someone searches for it, at least may the reader be redirected to the article of the language, while the article of the auto, itself, still does not exist. I can easily create a stub, but being threatened to have a page of mine deleted does not help me put in the mood to do so. Or I can be even lazier and just create a rough-and-ready list of Tupi-language literary works in the target article. This doesn’t make any sense and is, in fact, very abusive. Wikipedia:There is no deadline. RodRabelo7 (talk) 07:53, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:RFD#D10 - "the redirect could plausibly be expanded into an article, and the target article contains virtually no information on the subject." Without any information on the book at Tupi language, this redirect is of no value to the reader. Assuming the book is notable, a stub article should be created instead of a redirect. Tevildo (talk) 15:00, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy keep. Article created. MPGuy2824, next time, you can simply ask me to create the article, on my talk page. Or, better yet, if you do not know anything about the subject, it would probably be better simply not to touch the page. RodRabelo7 (talk) 19:06, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I declined a G6 speedy on these as out-of-process, and G14 would not apply because the target is a DAB (which I'm going to convert into a list of lists in a sec, but that's still DAB-like for G14's purposes). However, miscapitalized "(disambiguation)" titles are not helpful except when there's significant page history, so I bring this here for consideration of non-speedy deletion. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 03:28, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @Thryduulf: I'm not sure if you have checked their history before you commented here. The only edit of both ones before I proposed CSD is their creation.

NmWTfs85lXusaybq (talk) 05:26, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  That still doesn't change the fact that these are entirely harmless and we should not be deleting harmless redirects based solely on dislike for the capitalisation.

  • @Enix150, sounds like WP:OTHERSTUFF. Note the guidance at WP:REMOJI. — Qwerfjkltalk 06:33, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    @Qwerfjkl: WP:REMOJI is just an essay that needs to be updated and doesn't represent any precedent in reality. If you take a look, all of the examples presented except for the nonce emoji/text combination are in fact live redirects. Going even further to address WP:OTHERSTUFF, every base emoji has a Wikipedia redirect, and there are currently no exceptions. That would make it the sole outlier among the thousands of emojis, and encyclopedias usually seek consistency in their coverage. Enix150 (talk) 07:12, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    @Enix150, Wikipedia is by no means consistent in it's coverage, and for that matter, redirects have no need of being consistent. We could, for example, make thousands of ((R to disambiguation page)) redirects to make sure there is one for every disambiguation page, but there isn't merely much point. There's even less of a point here, because these redirects have little value - it is by no means clear that the emoji refers to the target. IN the absence of an alternative target it should be deleted. — Qwerfjkltalk 07:32, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    @Qwerfjkl: This user makes this same argument every time an emoji has been listed for deletion; I have argued multiple times that it isn't based on policy, that it would be consistently bad coverage, etc. Edward-Woodrow • talk 12:37, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• (edit conflict)Keep or Retarget to Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs where it is shown. At this rate, I'd also suggest that an RfC on "emoji redirects" may be useful for future clarity when these pop up, as WP:REMOJI seems in need of an update. An RfC has been floated a bit these last couple months, but especially with the seemingly uptick in emoji discussions, which usually echo the same sentiments (which makes sense, as all emoji share this trait), having an overarching consensus about "what to do" generally could add some much needed structure and alignment for the emojis which usually have wild variation, as shown by the different targets at Playboy Bunny / Twin, just for this example alone. (The broken-down-house redirect just below is the same way). Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 07:20, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep or retarget. With very few exceptions, every emoji should redirect either to relevant encyclopaedic content about the meaning (or a dab page if ambiguous) or, generally less preferentially, to an article about the character. Thryduulf (talk) 11:22, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Given the great ambiguity here, Thryduulf and Gonnym, where would you consider retargetting? Edward-Woodrow • talk 12:38, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Personally, I don't see any ambiguity as that is the trademark Playboy Bunny look. But if you and others feel otherwise, Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs (which can then be in expended to include the Zero Width Joiner versions) can be a valid target. The retargeting however should not occur if the base emoji (👯) does not change target, as all 3 should direct to the same place. Gonnym (talk) 15:07, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or retarget. Emojis should never be deleted as they are all valid search terms. If the target is incorrect or if there are better, then by all means, propose better options. Worse case, redirect to emoji block. Gonnym (talk) 00:00, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Gonnym: Do you think that every single possible search term should have a redirect on Wikipedia? If so, I suggest you familiarize yourself with what redirects are actually for. And redirecting to emoji block is not actually useful to the reader. Edward-Woodrow • talk 21:01, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Bird like reptile → Ornithischia  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete A web search shows various pages describing different dinosaur genera as "bird-like reptiles", but I'm not seeing that term used for any broader group of dinosaurs. Ornithischia is the group of dinosaurs that did NOT evolve into birds, so the current target is not a good choice.

I would expect somebody who would use this as a searching term is looking for a topic more specific than dinosaur, but there are many topics they might be searching. This is a descriptive phrase, and not a term with any specific referents, so a disambiguation page would not be appropriate. Plantdrew (talk) 01:24, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Rattle his cage → 1999 Goody's Headache Powder 500  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Rattling a cage is an idiom, and does not appear to be highly associated with this particular race. Granted, this phrase does show up in the article once, as something Dale Earnhardt said during a post-race statement. Besides that though, as "rattling a cage" is used often outside of this context, there is also Rattle The Cage and Rattle the Cage which are different topics that directly refer to cage-rattling as part of the subject name. Or deletion, if no better topic can be found. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 07:01, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: I am possibly a bit biased from being a motorsports fan, but this does seem like an appropriate target and what I was expecting. I think that rattling a cage is a distinct target from the rattling his cage as the latter uses a specific pronoun to differentiate from the general phrase of rattling a cage or rattling someone's cage. The quote in mention is at the article Labonte finished in 8th, and one lap down. Earnhardt's victory was subsequently met by boos and obscene gestures from the crowd. NASCAR officials reviewed the pass but decided to let Earnhardt keep the victory. Earnhardt later stated, "I didn’t mean to wreck him, I just wanted to rattle his cage a bit." so I think it should be fine to keep TartarTorte 12:29, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  The only usage on wikipedia not related to NASCAR (and specifically references to this moment) is in a plot summary for a novel, Mystery (novel). It appears to be in quotes, so I am guessing it did appear in the book, which is from before the 1999 race; however, the predominant use for this phrase is still in reference to this race.
