Retarget to Canada, per the original creator's intent and that it pointed to that article for a number of years. Mjroots (talk) 12:02, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note - there is a Dominion of canada redirect (lower case c in Canada). Consider this discussion to cover both redirects. Mjroots (talk) 12:10, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose - "Dominion of Canada" is not the correct name for Canada. This has been a long-standing issue and the consensus has been that the issue is best dealt with by a re-direct to the WP article that deals in detail with the evolution of the way Canada has been referred to. Redirecting "Dominion of Canada" to "Canada" is misleading, as it suggests that is the appropriate way to refer to the country. It is not, and WP should not be fostering inaccurate information. The fact that it pointed incorrectly for a number of years is not a reason to recreate the error. The "original intent" of the person who creates a redirect is not binding on the WP community. Consensus has developed that this issue is best dealt with at the "Name of Canada" article, not the "Canada" article. Pointing "Dominion of Canada" to the discussion on the name of Canada is far more helpful to a reader who is interested in the correct way to refer to Canada. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 14:57, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose. Neither the original creator's intent nor what the redirect has pointed to in the past are particularly relevant. The determining factor is getting readers to the information they are looking for. I think is is overwhelmingly more likely that someone who searches "Dominion of Canada" is looking for detailed information on that specific name, rather than just wanting information about Canada generally.--Trystan (talk) 15:17, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep both - "Dominion" was a term created within the British Empire to legally define a constitutional framework that evolved largely in pre-Confederation Canada, for a federated entity with more legal sovereignty than a colony. Dominions legally became Realms of the Commonwealth sometime between 1931 and 1949. The "Dominion" name stuck around informally because Canada took so long to patriate its own constitution and fully sever legislative ties with Britain, but the legal Dominion of Canada ceased to exist no later than the passage of the Canada Act 1982 (and debatably earlier). The targeted section explains the history of Canada's various archaic names. Note that British Dominion of Canada also targets this section, while Canada#Etymology is basically a short summary with a link to this target for more information. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 15:36, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Dominion#Canadian Confederation and evolution of the term Dominion is also good background information, although I think the current target is better. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 15:37, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  If there are mutiple good destinations, I could also support moving Dominion of Canada (disambiguation) to the base name.--Trystan (talk) 16:01, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  IvanVector, just to be sure I understand your position, when you say "Keep Both", does that mean you oppose the proposed change and want the status quo to stay? Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 16:20, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Yes, that's correct, I oppose the proposal. This discussion became slightly odd but convention at RFD is that "keep" means "don't make any changes to the redirect", while "retarget" argues for changing the target of the redirect, and "delete" means what it always means. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 19:55, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Thanks. Will keep the custom in mind for the future. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 22:03, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose I object to the change request. And I object to the use of the term Dominion of Canada in relation to geography and common use. Dominion of Canada = Canada. Please see Name of Canada. This was resolved SIX years ago. There is no separate Dominion of Canada entity and there won't be a separate article on that term. (Never say never - but seems highly unlikely) It is covered in the Name of Canada article. So it is appropriately redirected. The use of 'Dominion of Canada' only helps to continue in readers' minds that there was something separate, like Province of Canada, or Dominion of Newfoundland. But there isn't! Alaney2k (talk) 16:42, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• I disagree with retargeting to Canada. Although this certainly was a term used for Canada, it has been obsolete for some time now and it would be better to redirect to a target which explains the term in its historical context - either Name of Canada#Kingdom and Dominion, Dominion#Canada or maybe some part of History of Canada. Hut 8.5 17:49, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose – current target is correct. This has been previously debated and already settled—this request is merely WP:REHASH. —Joeyconnick (talk) 23:47, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Support The Purpose of redirects is to redirect alternative names to the most appropirate article title. Also, per Technical language, wikilinking is not a substitute for explaining terms in articles. So for example if someone reading an article about an Imperial Conference clicked on the link to Dominion of Canada,they would expect to find an article about Canada,not about its naming history.

Incidentally, the naming of the country as a Dominion predates the use of the term to describe autonomous realms other than the UK within the Empire.

TFD (talk) 20:07, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cite, please. Where in the Constitution Act, 1867, does it say that the country is named "Dominion of Canada"? I've already pointed to s. 3 of the Act which states "under the name of Canada." It doesn't say "under the name of the Dominion of Canada". Please provide the cite that says the name is "Dominion of Canada".

To that, I would add that the subsequent Constitution of Australia Act, also passed by the British Parliament, uses a different approach. Section 3 of that Act, the equivalent to s. 3 of the Constitution Act, 1867, provides that the Australian colonies "shall be united in a Federal Commonwealth under the name of the Commonwealth of Australia". There, "Commonwealth" is clearly part of the name of the country. Section 3 of the Constitution Act, 1867 is different, and says "under the name of Canada". Unlike the Australian example, the name is just "Canada", not "Dominion of Canada". Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 20:27, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

One last point, in response to this point by TFD:

So for example if someone reading an article about an Imperial Conference clicked on the link to Dominion of Canada,they would expect to find an article about Canada,not about its naming history.

I don't think anyone is disputing that. If there is a particular reason why "Dominion of Canada" in a particular article needs to refer specifically to "Canada", that's easily done in that particular case by piping: "Canada|Dominion of Canada". But we're talking here about the redirect, which should point to the discussion on the "Name of Canada". Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 21:26, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On that note, the use of Dominion of Canada pipelinked to Canada like that should only be done if linking quotes containing "Dominion of Canada", not otherwise, like in a geographic description from 1867 onwards. Alaney2k (talk) 22:51, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. If it's relevant in some way to the particular article, not as a general redirect. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 23:03, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Mr Srjeant Buzfuz. 🔥Jalapeño🔥 09:59, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Canadian Confederation. As a reader I'd expect former official names to point to an article covering the country's history during the period by which it was known by that name, if there was one. Canadian Confederation opens with, Canadian Confederation was the process by which three British North American provinces... were united into one federation called the Dominion of Canada, on July 1, 1867. This seems to satisfy that. Maybe leave a hatnote to the current target. --Paul_012 (talk) 03:55, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The section to which the redirect is linked is about the naming of Canada as a "kingdom" or "dominion".

• Retarget to Finnish Civil War#Pax Russica (where the hatnote of the current target leads). My Latin is rusty but I'm pretty sure this phrase means "peace with Russia", or peace under Russia's influence. Google suggests it was also used in the early post-Cold War period as a concept for a Eurasian military alliance against the West, but we don't seem to have anything on it on Wikipedia. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 21:43, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment In Russian, мир (mir) means both "world" and "peace", and hence русский мир (russkiy mir) could be read as either "Russian world" or "Russian peace". I can only speculate that there may be some wordplay or conflation of the concepts in Russian-language sources due to the polysemy. Incidentally, that may also be why Russian peace redirects here, another head-scratcher. But as for whether these redirects make any sense in English, maybe not, at least as it stands. The current article doesn't even use the word "peace" except in references. But maybe there's more to the story than I know. 98.170.164.88 (talk) 01:08, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Pax Russica is presumably a reference to Pax Romana in a similar manner to Pax Americana and Pax Britannica. It is a term that has been getting thrown around by some commentators in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine depleting Russia's ability to project power and help "stabilize"/dominate the central/west Asia region. It seems like a reasonable search term. I don't have a better retarget or a clear reliable source. - Darker Dreams (talk) 05:53, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I was thinking along the same lines, but if this is true then it really should be mentioned in the redirected article. Otherwise, it's a confusing redirect term for someone unfamiliar with it (which I'd have thought would be one of the main reasons to look it up on Wikipedia).

• Invest 93L → 2023 Atlantic hurricane season#Invest 93L  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Invest 93L is a common designation for tropical disturbances in the Atlantic Ocean by the National Hurricane Center. Invest designation is reused each year and year after year (cycling through 90L to 99L and then starting again with 90L). Thus there can be and always are multiple Invest 93L systems each year. This shouldn't redirect to a specific article, as that is highly misleading. United States Man (talk) 22:15, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per large media attention related to “Invest 93L. Noting, this was renamed to be “Tropical Depression 10” an hour ago, so the redirect is still useful. Sources: Florida Governor [3][4][5][6]. Googling “Invest 93L” pulls up a lot of news articles from the last 24 hours. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 22:20, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete without redirecting — an ambiguous in that the designation is used multiple times in a given hurricane season, and, nobody uses the invest numbers after the particular system either becomes a tropical (subtropical) cyclone or dissipates. It serves no no lasting, or even transient, value as a redirect. Drdpw (talk) 01:35, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget; a redirect to a page that explains the designation is better than nothing. Most of the reasons for deleting are only reasons not to link it to a specific system or create a disambiguation page; some people could be looking for a specific system, but an explanation that the designation is temporary and is used for different systems is more useful than search results similar to "Invest 91L" (where most are not found, and most mentions in articles are in references where it doesn't refer to the subject of the article). Invest 93L (2023) and Invest 99-L (August 2016) were deleted, but others without the year were retargeted: Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 September 18#Invest 99-L and Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 September 27#Invest 98L. Peter James (talk) 11:30, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Peter James: It is completely unsustainable to create such a disambiguation page. This designation is used many times per season and has been in the past, so we would have hundreds of entries, and not always with reliable sources connecting them to particular systems or seasons. Many don't develop and would not be notable. It would not be any less confusing. Any other redirects of this sort should not be kept either.--Jasper Deng (talk) 19:03, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

          • It won't explain the meteorology behind the system in question, because by its nature it's general. And it also would be unwieldy to have 80 redirects (10 invest numbers for each of the letters A, B, C, E, L, P, S, W). That's an excessive amount of disambiguation. I highly suggest not appealing to WP:OSE arguments like "should that article be deleted".--Jasper Deng (talk) 22:05, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Invest (meteorology) if this has become a common search/news term and we have a page related to a general topic for the subject deleting such redirects just makes information harder to find for no gain.

• I tried to dig into this some more. A blog post in December 2020 (on a blog that's not far off from an attack site so I won't link to it) says that the film was shelved in 2014, resurrected and began filming in 2016, and "dropped" in 2018, and also suggests that a different film on the same subject directed by "Vicky Ramanath", was filmed in 2013, had a launch party in 2014, and was planned to be released in 2021. Vicky Ramanath doesn't seem to exist, but a film titled "Sathya Sai Baba" directed by Vicky Ranawat was released in 2021. Since Kodi Ramakrishna died in 2019 and a different movie on the same subject came out later, I think it's safe to say that this film will never be released. Considering all of that, and considering that this redirect doesn't indicate that it's the title of a film in any way, it should be considered a ((R from alternate name)) redirect to Sathya Sai Baba.

The result of the discussion was retarget to Category:Country metal albums.

• Country metal → Country rock  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

non existent genre and definitely not related to country rock FMSky (talk) 08:16, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Billboard actually gives mention to country metal here: https://www.billboard.com/pro/country-metal-music-hardy-brantley-gilbert-hard-rock/

Of course, you need to subscribe to view this article, but you can bypass that. Load the page, and then with the wireless switch button on your keyboard (usually under one of the F# keys and requires FN to be held), kill the WiFi. This will prevent the "Subscribe to view this article" thing from coming up and give you the article.

Enough of that, the article uses country metal to describe Brantley Gilbert. It also ties it in with country rock, so, if an article describing this genre cannot be produced, then country rock appears to be the best spot for it. I'll see if I can gather some sources to at least make a small section on country rock for this.

There is also an artist called Hardy. He's a country artist, but per the Billboard source, he's embraced metal elements, and per this Los Angeles Times source, he's embraced nu metal elements as well: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2023-02-16/hardy-morgan-wallen-lainey-wilson-mockingbird-crow

I think there is enough notability to establish that country metal is a thing. There is also Rebel Meets Rebel by David Allen Coe featuring the Abbott brothers (Dimebag Darrel and Vinnie Paul) and Rex Brown of Pantera which lists country metal as its genre. There is also Category: Country metal albums on here as well. Moline1 (talk) 15:13, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Category:Country metal albums using Template:R to category namespace and Template:R with possibilities. I have zero doubt that this should be kept, since this is a genre that has seen involvement from various artists such as David Allan Coe, Hank Williams III and Leo Moracchioli. Until the time that an article is written, the proposed target seems to be the best fit. StonyBrook _babble 18:35, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• StonyBrook's proposition is okay in a pinch. It's rare for us to redirect a mainspace title to a category, but not "illegal". That said, I think it would make much, much more sense to just do a hour's research and create a section-stub at Country rock for this, if not a full article. Hell, even a sentence or two with an ((Anchor)) would suffice, as long as the words "country metal" appeared in it so readers know why they were redirected there. I'm halfway tempted to do the work myself, but I already have way too much on my plate and I need to stop taking on additional projects, even small ones. The nominator's "non[-]existent genre and definitely not related to country rock" is obviously balderdash, in both parts of the sentence. Perhaps an argument could be made that it's not a notable genre (which is dubious), but even that would not be an excuse to exclude the content from Country rock and delete the redirect, because WP:NOTABILITY only controls what may have its own article, not what is mentioned inside an article (that's governed by WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE, and sourcable sub-genres are obviously not indiscriminate information.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  12:46, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A hatnote can catch readers who, I don't know, their SHIFT key has a short in it? Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 22:23, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. The UUU page is a disambiguation that contains First Wikipedia edit as the first option. WP:DIFFCAPS I don't think is as prevalent when the search term is as small as it is, i.e. just three letters. If it were a longer title with more specific capitalization, it would be more confirmable that "yes this is exactly the stylization I want". With 3 letters, who knows, someone might accidentally capitalize the final U. "uuU" is the exact same thing as "UuU" anyway because the first letter is capitalized by default. In my opinion it was fine as is; if people want the first edit, or if they want WP:UuU, they can easily get that at the disambiguation page. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 16:17, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  But isn't that the point of SMALLDETAILS? If someone accidentally types the wrong title they can go to the DAB. If they type this precise term into the search box either they want the first edit or they have made the error and can go to the DAB. I don't think it would be a plausible redirect if the first edit didn't exist, see WhO for example which is a red link, that said if someone types that term it goes to the DAB. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:53, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

However, I continue to feel we can delete this, per my endorsement rationale in the DRV: "My eyes are glazing over with the word salad of CSD categories, exceptions, etc being invoked above. So I am ignoring it in IAR fashion and merely asking - is this a plausibly useful redirect to have? I agree with people above [in the DRV] that it is not. I paused a bit at the rationale (I hope I have this right) that it's an old CamelCase redirect and we shouldn't delete those in case there are external links from 20+ years ago that use it that would break - but I've done a cursory google search for any such links and failed to find any. I also understand and accept Jclemens' and others' 'multiple reasonable editors are objecting so let's discuss rather than speedy' argument, so I wouldn't object to a 'Discuss at RFD' close [of the DRV, which is what happened], but I'd love for that to be in response to objections that go beyond process.

Obviously there's going to be some cutoff where it's no longer reasonable to keep a page just because "hey, it's a really, really WP:OLDARTICLE", but #7 is probably below that limit. If we don't want to keep this in mainspace, then move it to Wikipedia:MathematicsAndStatistics or something similar; I have no preference as to which, nor any opinion on Mathematics and Statistics. —Cryptic 01:09, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. If there is not a suitable target for Mathematics and statistics then there is not a suitable target for these 2 redirects either. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:59, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all and oppose moving to project namespace. For me the limit Cryptic describes is set at 1 - WP:UuU deserved to exist because it was the first page, and continuing that trend any further is an exercise in silliness (especially given that the history from January 2001 we are supposedly preserving hasn't even been imported) None of the targets suggested are really suitable - they are desperate measures to avoid the logical consequence of deletion that people (for reasons I don't quite follow) want to avoid. If there is no consensus to delete, then prefer Mathematical statistics as the least-worst target. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 12:51, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • UuU was #11, four pages and about an hour and a quarter after this. —Cryptic 13:11, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • The relevant distinguishing factor of UuU is that it is the first edit that survived without needing to be manually re-imported. If HomePage were otherwise about to be deleted I could see retaining it somewhere in project space, but again see no point in continuing beyond that point - #7 doesn't seem special enough. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 16:21, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget MathematicsAndStatistics to Formal science, and neutral on deletion/retargeting Mathematics and Statistics – formal science seems like an okay target for a search term such as this, though I wouldn't object to Mathematics as a target either. I think any of the first 10 pages created should be kept (coincidentally, that's everything before UuU, which is another good cutoff in my opinion), so I'd say MathematicsAndStatistics should stay. These two pages also get views – it's in the double digit range per month for both pages. I think the ambiguity is enough to keep me neutral on the spaced version without it being one of the first creations. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 00:04, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @ClydeFranklin I’ll admit to not being that familiar with the rcat, but I believe the latter would also qualify as a ((R with old history)), having been created at around the same time. A smart kitten (talk) 10:22, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Whatever happens to the targets, I would strongly oppose deletion of MathematicsAndStatistics. Retain as ((R from CamelCase)). (As described in the rcat, These are kept as redirects to maintain edit history and to avoid breaking links that may have been made externally.) Given the age of Mathematics and Statistics, I would also say the same thing, and retaining as ((R with old history)). As to potential targets, as mentioned, these could potentially include Mathematical statistics, Mathematics, Formal science, etc.; but to be honest I’m much more indifferent on the targets than on the fact that these redirects should be kept alive (so don’t take my comments on targeting as a barrier against any other consensus on a target that may be forming) - but there is definitely a plausible target for these redirects. Given the historical significance, however, I just do not want these to be deleted. A smart kitten (talk) 08:30, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  It doesn't make sense to keep a camelcase redirect if the non-camelcase redirect doesn't exist: MathematicsAndStatistics is camelcase version of Mathematics and statistics. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:29, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @Shhhnotsoloud sorry if i’m misunderstanding anything, but if this RfD closes with consensus to retarget, why can’t Mathematics and statistics be (re)created as a ((R avoided double redirect))? (or ideally imo, undeleted and also tagged with ((t|R with history.) Best, A smart kitten (talk) 04:07, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I don't normally participate in procedural nominations that I've started as a result of DRV, but I'll chime in with my view on where we stand procedurally with respect to Mathematics and statistics. By the letter of WP:CSD#G4, a newly created redirect at Mathematics and statistics clearly does not qualify since it is not substantially identical to the disambiguation page that was deleted. A case could be made in the spirit of G4 that the AfD participants considered redirecting and decided not to, but I feel like the lack of an affirmative consensus to convert to a redirect is not the same as the existence of an affirmative consensus to delete such a redirect, so any newly created redirect would need to come to RfD rather than be speedied. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:42, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Late comment: If it helps the closer, I think my retargeting preference would be to Mathematical statistics per Utopes below. Best, ^user:A smart kitten_meow 09:37, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget both to Mathematical statistics. I concur with Cryptic in regards to MathematicsAndStatistics that even if it's not EXACTLY the first article created, it is still a part of that initial tiny batch of pages created by office.bomis.com, and to this end, I'd say that these first 10 pages created this way are especially significant due to this timing. Because of this, I think it is worth the effort in making these links work. In regards to a target, Mathematical statistics quite literally IS the combination of Mathematics and Statistics. Per WP:XY, it is possible to point to a page where both are being discussed, and mathematical statistics does appear to fit this, being the application of mathematics in statistics. I believe this target is logical enough that both of the discussed redirects could point here without any problems. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 07:26, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget MathematicsAndStatistics to Mathematics, it's a ((R from CamelCase)) that pointed to that target continuously for more than 23 years until it was changed barely two months ago, and the target it was changed to no longer exists. Delete the other per WP:XY and because its target no longer exists. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 19:07, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak retarget both to Formal science. When I initially nominated these two redirects months ago, my initial concern was about the lack of a fitting target. Now I think that Formal science is a reasonably good target (though I won't complain about Mathematics or Mathematical statistics, or even Statistics, as a target.) But don't delete either!

• Keep MathematicsAndStatistics. Retargeting is fine; I don't care where it points, just that it remain available. This is one of the CamelCase entries from the first few revisions of HomePage in 2001.

• Weak keep - evidently some now-very-old technical sources did refer to HTTP status codes as busy signals or equivalent to a telephone busy signal. That didn't refer to any particular code (like 503) but to any response that did not serve the requested page. It seems to be harmless, anyway.

• @Ivanvector: I'm not personally aware of these references; do you have any citations? To me it doesn't really make sense to consider all status codes like a busy signal, other than perhaps in a layperson's description back at the genesis of the web. Absent specific evidence, I don't think this is a sufficiently common interpretation to warrant a redirect. isaacl (talk) 21:10, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - I found more than a few blogs and forums and so on, talking about it. Here's an explanatory page, for example: [7] - jc37 21:20, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  That page documents what it calls the "busy signal pattern", though the text is more reminiscent of a use case scenario rather than a software design pattern (typically a design pattern would label specific actors and their specific interactions, in order to provide a common language for describing that solution). A service provided over HTTP is then used as an example. This isn't an example of "busy-signal equivalent" being used as a term to refer to all HTTP status codes, and I don't think having redirects for every cloud service implementing this scenario is useful. What are some of the other examples you have found? isaacl (talk) 22:15, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Looking at the article history, it originally stated, "An HTTP Busy-signal equivalent indicates a requested connection cannot be completed", and went on to list 500, 503, 403.9 and 404 as the relevant status codes. This was redirected without merging in 2005. Unless sources exist that could support a mention of the term/grouping being added, this should probably be deleted as original research. --Paul_012 (talk) 03:32, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was no consensus. The consensus is strongly in favor of keeping the target of "WP:WRONG" as a longstanding redirect, which undoing would cause more harm than good. Opinions about the usefulness of "WP:Wrong" shift between keeping and weakly retargeting.

According to WhatLinksHere, the existence of WP:Wrong does not seem to block or inhibit the usage of WP:WRONG, as the former redirect of WP:Wrong has only received one linkage in the last 10 years, whereas usage of WP:WRONG is always intentional and sufficiently hits the correct location. Both targets have been argued in favor of, mainly in regards to keeping the status quos of either redirect. (non-admin closure) Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 02:49, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:WRONG points eventually to m:The Wrong Version which is a piece of humour on the meta, lots of links from talk pages but a very different page to WP:correct which is a plea for everyone to consider policy rather than just their own opinions, with a rationale for doing this. WP:wrong is useful for linking in flowing text without needing to pipe, so I think both are useful. Andrewa (talk) 11:51, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• I might be missing something or not thinking of something, but in my mind it would make more sense for all capitalisations of the same WP: shortcut word to point to the same target. If that isn’t the case, people that happen to (for example) type "WP:Wrong" instead of "WP:WRONG" (whether in a wikilink, the search bar, or in some other way) may be confused that it leads to a different place. Based on that, I think my !vote will be to weakly retarget WP:Wrong to WP:The Wrong Version: WP:Wrong has a very little amount of pageviews, and only one non-Rfd use as a wikilink on a talk page (from here); whereas WP:WRONG has a large number of wikilinks, a steady stream of pageviews, and has pointed at its current target since creation. To me, and given what I’ve said above, it would therefore create less potential for confusion to retarget WP:Wrong than to retarget WP:WRONG.

  To add to my !vote after the comment below by @RedPanda25, I am strongly opposed to retargeting WP:WRONG, due to the fact that it would break a lot of links, and cause confusion from editors who are used to it linking to Wikipedia:The Wrong Version (of which there may be a lot, judging by the pageviews). Best, ^user:A smart kitten_meow 12:09, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget WP:WRONG, so that both point to WP:Correct, with a hatnote in that article linking to the one on Meta. As mentioned above, it's more helpful for someone to be able to link WP:Wrong as in "this information isn't WP:wrong, it's just not verifiable". RedPanda25 18:54, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Target both to Wikipedia:The Wrong Version. Long long LONG standing target. Changing this breaks a lot of references and edit summaries.
