This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on August 25, 2024.

Sfaraddi

[edit]

Implausible redirect. This is an extremely uncommon spelling of Sefardi or Sephardi. No pages link here and no editing history. Four pageviews in the last year. Jprg1966 (talk) 22:06, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Child diddler

[edit]

I don't think we need redirects for every slang term referring to pedophiles and I doubt readers will use this as a search term when, unfortunately, most people are now familiar with the term "pedophile". It makes me wonder what other slang terms for this concept have been used for redirects. Liz Read! Talk! 22:05, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: agreed, this is very silly. AntiDionysius (talk) 22:15, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Based on some quick research, the only other slang redirect I can find is Kiddie fiddler. AntiDionysius (talk) 22:18, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
that's not even a common variant of the name, come on. delete, don't let me see this on my earth again cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 11:05, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:VRT permissions agents

[edit]

These should ideally point at the same target. 1234qwer1234qwer4 17:50, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The pandemic

[edit]
Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

WP:Recentism - There have been numerous pandemics over time and also, the coronavirus pandemic is pretty much over, I'm pretty sure if you mention "The pandemic", a bunch of people would not think you're referring to COVID-19. Additionally, if someone wants to access information about the Coronavirus pandemic on Wikipedia, he/she will obviously not just search "the pandemic". This redirect is pointless in its current form, I would suggest a retarget to pandemic. Mondtaler (talk) 15:34, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yup. It's a silly redirect. There are currently many pandemics (HIV/AIDS, mpox) so this was just a lazy shorthand. Bon courage (talk) 15:56, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
while i know what makes this pandemic "the" as of writing this (hell, i apparently had that shit thrice in the first few months), there could very possibly be another worldwide pandemic that ends up being considered "the" before the 22st century. i'll say retarget to pandemic, if only due to precedent with other "the [article title]" redirects cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 18:45, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reticulum cell sarcoma

[edit]

Currently not mentioned at the target. More specific articles like Contagious reticulum cell sarcoma mention this, but I'm not sure there is a generic description of this on the English Wikipedia. 1234qwer1234qwer4 15:23, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CRCS appears to be the only RCS presently covered on Wikipedia, so confusion is unlikely for now. When other types are covered with their own articles, such as intraocular RCS, RCS of the thyroid gland, RCS of the spleen, RCS of the bone, RCS of the lymph node, and so on, then this title, "Reticulum cell sarcoma", can become an overview article or a dab page. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 02:41, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
PS. We should note here that the other redirect would then, of course, be retargeted to the new overview article or dab page as an unprintworthy ((redirect from modification)). P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 02:57, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, right now another one is mentioned at the Skin sarcoma article (recently created from the discussion below). 1234qwer1234qwer4 13:24, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Since this was relisted, that referenced closed discussion is found at WP:RFD/2024 August 14#Sarcoma of skin. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 16:02, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gay cake

[edit]

At the moment, the two target articles are connected by hatnotes, which might end up being the best solution, but I believe it's less than ideal for the two redirects to have different targets. My main suggestion is to Disambiguate (that is, turn gay cake case into a DAB page), especially as it's possible that another lawsuit could arise from a similar situation. However, "gay cake case" is explicitly cited in the Lee v Ashers article but not in Masterpiece Cakeshop, and "gay cake" on its own doesn't immediately suggest that the article is about a lawsuit. My secondary suggestion is therefore to Delete gay cake only. Tevildo (talk) 23:17, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget/Convert Gay cake case to a disambiguation page, Delete Gay cake - Even with context "Gay cake" is a mite ambiguous; "Gay cake case" is a lot more obvious but the fact there's multiple cases like this is an argument for dabbing. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 00:31, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, excuse me!

[edit]

Was originally going to WP:BOLDly retarget this to Let's Get Small as the album from the current target which this phrase is most associated, but then I remembered ... people looking up this phrase could reasonably be trying to find The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!#Premise where a version of the subject of the article Link (The Legend of Zelda) is notable for saying "Well, excuse me, princess!" and since Well excuse me princess redirects there. Seems like a case of "disambiguate" or "retarget" and I'm not sure which, even with the fact that this redirect is a partial match for the Link phrase. Steel1943 (talk) 18:54, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As the inclusion of the word "well" is never mentioned in any context preceding the title "Excuse Me" in the album, I'd prefer to delete this, but a retarget is better than a keep. Retargeting brings this title closer to its potential context (moreso than a general pass towards the person that presumably said the phrase), but without any mention of the "well" bit, there's no indication in the article that people would search for this instead of Excuse Me (the song on the album; the song, which does not appear on the Excuse Me disambiguation page). It does not seem necessary to target this title to Excuse Me either. Utopes (talk / cont) 19:18, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
dabify or add all redirects missing the word "princess" to "excuse me" per 50% of what steel said, but also per "well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, princess"
wait, no, wrong quote, i mean "that's only barely uncommon enough to probably warrant the dab" cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 19:36, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ZSJ

[edit]

Principle of least astonishment. Should be retargeted to Zack Sabre Jr., a moderately popular professional wrestler which I daresay would be more on the average reader's mind than a rural airport. Sceptre (talk) 11:01, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kevin Tucker (anarchist)

[edit]

Redirects to an article that does not even mention the subject. Damien Linnane (talk) 02:36, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect has extensive history - not sure if RFD is the right place for this discussion? Might merit a procedural close and an AFD instead. -- asilvering (talk) 08:42, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fighting TV Samurai

[edit]

Delete, unless there is an appropriate local target for this page. Sending readers to non-English content is not helpful. Additionally, the plain ((soft redirect)) template is not used in the mainspace (WP:SOFTSP). See here for precedents. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 02:17, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
