April 25

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

MediaImpression

No mention of MediaImpression at the target page. Neither this, nor "ArcSoft MediaImpression" are useful redirects in the article's current state, as we have no information at the stub for this subtopic. Utopes (talk / cont) 06:21, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Though I don't remember creating the ArcSoft MediaImpression redirect, checking the history confirms that it was in the article at that time but was later removed.
Further checking backs up my guess that I most likely created it as an EXIF redirect for "software used".
In order to address this issue that is causing you concern, I have updated the article to mention it.
The redirect can now be left as-is or changed to ArcSoft#Products.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 06:38, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TotalMedia Theatre

No mention of TotalMedia or TotalMedia Theatre at the target article. This is not a helpful redirect as there is no content about this subtopic, and the stub for ArcSoft does not help enlighten readers here. Utopes (talk / cont) 06:23, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Thoughts on the page history of Arcsoft TotalMedia Theatre?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 06:37, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lady Godiva syndrome

Lady Godiva is never mentioned or referred to at the target article. Redirect a hyper-specific reference to an apparent synonym where it never is talked about is not very helpful. People looking for exhibitionism would have gotten to that point through just searching Exhibitionism. The current title might just be more helpful pointed at Lady Godiva, if anything, as the presence of a name within the title makes it seem like the name is the most defining aspect. Utopes (talk / cont) 04:59, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Lack of imagination

A lack of imagination isn't an "argument from ignorance". It's not being able to imagine and doesn't have to do with arguments. If anything, it's Aphantasia. However, this has been a redirect here for the last 21 years. Utopes (talk / cont) 04:56, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 06:34, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Baak (Telugu Film)

Indian films sometimes do this thing were they reshoot 10% or less of the film in another language. Either way, there is absolutely no need for this redirect when Baak (film) exists. only 10% or less of people interest seeing Aranmanai 4 will likely opt to see this version due to low key release. DareshMohan (talk) 05:39, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I think this is the same film as Baakghost. It looks like there is no point for this. Cleo Cooper (talk) 06:30, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Swinging sticks

Lots of things involve swinging sticks, not just pendulums. The word "swing" nor the word "stick" appear ever at the target page, and can refer to basically anything from baseball to hockey to swordplay and beyond. I'd be hardpressed to think this would be a likely search term for this topic only. Sure, the pendulum may look like "sticks that swing", but the inference of it being a pendulum I believe is the most noteworthy aspect. This is one of the few technical topics that is prominent for its recognizable name and functionality, not just being "sticks that swing". Utopes (talk / cont) 05:17, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Bundling with comment: Not to mention the singular version, which would otherwise literally be just, a pendulum. Not sure why it goes to the double variant. Utopes (talk / cont) 05:18, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Supplemental Result

A topic not discussed at the target page, as "supple" nor "supplement" ever appear at the target page. Was BLAR'd in 2017 as being based on almost entirely unreliable sources, but does not serve its purpose as a good redirect if there is no content to be read about this at PageRank. Utopes (talk / cont) 05:12, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Google's Supplemental Results (technically still there - just not labeled as such) were not relevant to an article about the PageRank algorithm. Technically, the Supplemental Results are all the low-value content for which Google makes room available in its index, but they're not likely to be selected for competitive (high-interest) queries. Nor are the pages likely to be recrawled or refreshed very often. The only real connection anyone from Google ever confirmed was that these types of pages usually had very little PageRank. It would be more appropriate to redirect the page to the article about Google and add something there, assuming a suitable resource could be found (probably one of Danny Sullivan's articles from Search Engine Land from around 2006-2010). Michael Martinez (talk) 06:30, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here is an article from 2007: Google Dumps The Supplemental Results Label (searchengineland.com) Danny Sullivan now works for Google but in 2007 he was just a journalist covering search engines. Michael Martinez (talk) 06:33, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strike Force Entertainment

Neither "strike" nor "force" is listed at the target article, giving this title insufficient context as a redirect to the target article. There is no dedicated information on Wikipedia to this sub label. Utopes (talk / cont) 05:04, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strike fingering

"Strike" not mentioned at the target either, and Cut fingering was recently deleted. Utopes (talk / cont) 05:01, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Split Rectangle

No mention of a rectangle at the target article. And as per the box, no piece of geometry is getting split at the target page. Utopes (talk / cont) 04:58, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Split Box

"Box" never appears at the target article, and certainly not splitting one. The only few mentions of "split" at the target are in reference to Viacom's. Utopes (talk / cont) 04:58, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Soquid

A neologism portmanteau of a "solid liquid". Picked up by Wendy's, but not mentioned at target, and totally not an all encompassing term for a Frosty, especially for a term representing a space between two distinct phases of matter. See Quasi-solid / Semisolid. Utopes (talk / cont) 04:53, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Solowheel

Targets the manufacturers section, but solowheel is not listed as a manufacturer of electric unicycles at the target. Utopes (talk / cont) 04:50, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Snaf

Was created as a non-notable slang term that was instantly BLAR'd, same-day reverted, and reverted back to a redirect yet again. Seems to have no business targeting the pieces of paper left behind after you hole-punch something. I never knew that these had a name, so there you go! Learn something new every day I guess, Wikipedia for you. There was Chav and Chad (slang) that were all in the mix around here, but as this is suitable short and not mentioned there or anywhere in this realm, it doesn't seem of use to keep this redirect around. Utopes (talk / cont) 04:47, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shuggie

No mention of "Shuggie" as a nickname at the target article. Could also be confused with Shruggie. Utopes (talk / cont) 04:39, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shoob

This is a meme slang term not mentioned at the target article, as garnered from the edit summary and rcats. Not useful in its current form as we have no further information about the term of "shoob" at the target article. Utopes (talk / cont) 04:38, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shoo-in

No mention of this word at the target, although it's pointed here since 2012. Perhaps a wiktionary redirect would be more appropriate? Not sure if there are other encyclopedic topics where this title could be a shoo-in.... :) Utopes (talk / cont) 04:36, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shman

No mention of the term "shman" at the target article. Pertaining to more pronounceable versions, sheman has a different target, while all external search engines were pointing me to topics related to shaman. Utopes (talk / cont) 04:32, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shadow Dio

No mention of this variant of Dio at the target article, as the word "shadow" never appears at any point. Utopes (talk / cont) 04:27, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Actually, he does. He appears as a secret boss in Heritage for the Future. Hansen SebastianTalk 06:30, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The target article is Dio Brando, not Heritage for the Future. The word "shadow" bears no mention on Dio's page. I'm neutral on retargeting to the video game if he appears as a secret boss, although the only mention on that page is a list entry. Utopes (talk / cont) 08:39, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
shadow DIO (case sensitive) is a playable character (not a boss, that'd be DIO (still case sensitive) with his jacket) in hftf, so i'd say redirect there cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 11:49, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sexy flash

Not called a "sexy flash" at the target article. Utopes (talk / cont) 04:26, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Self loading freight

Vague term not mentioned at the target. While passengers might "load themselves onto an airplane", from a literal perspective anything that can move by itself is self-moving freight, and will not always be a passenger. Someone searching this term is very likely looking for something particularly specific, and if they really wanted to see the article for "passenger", they'd just look up "passenger" instead. Seems like keeping this as a blue link would be a disservice towards potential article creation for a transportation operator lingo. Utopes (talk / cont) 04:23, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Scrmable

Is otherwise confusing, and would never be searched with this term to reach the target page. Also not mentioned, so users would have no idea why this term goes here instead of being an r from typo. If letter transpositions are considered good to target to the base word, this redirect insists that is not the case, as it considers "Scrmable" to be a separate topic to "Scramble" (correctly, imo!). Scramble is not a hard word to spell, so it would not benefit from having a typo in this style aimed there, especially because "scrmable" does not sound like "scramble" at all. On the flipside, because "scrmable" isn't mentioned at the target article either, it's not useful in its current form as it stands. Utopes (talk / cont) 04:17, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Scranton lax

No mention of "lax" or a lax team at the target, inferred from history. Utopes (talk / cont) 03:59, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Marco Scocco

No mention of this passenger at the target article, and is not a useful redirect on its lonesome without context as to who this person is. Utopes (talk / cont) 03:53, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Scientific sexism

"Scientific" is only said once in the lead, and "sexism" only appears once in the body, both in entirely different situations. While listed as an alternative name, there is nothing in the article to indicate that this is the case, and there seems like there'd be other sexism articles that this could refer to, as there are also mentions of "scientific" at sexism as well. Seems as if this is an otherwise ambiguous term that has a lot of possibilities due to the lack of clarity between "science" and "sexism". Utopes (talk / cont) 03:52, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Scary sharp

No mention of a "scary sharp" method of sharpening at the title. The word "scary" does not appear at the target, and the only time "sharp" appears is in the form of "sharpening", but nothing about a "sharp" on it's own. Non-notable technique which was BLAR'd this time last year. Utopes (talk / cont) 03:48, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Saturday Rocks

No mention of a children's programming "Saturday Rocks" at the title. Utopes (talk / cont) 03:44, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ali O'Shea and etc.

A list of characters from Fair City not mentioned at the target in any form. In these cases for Fair City redirects, my interpretation a "mention" is generous; this is just a list of names on a table that are only said once, but nevertheless at least they exist, and sometimes the boxes might make allusions to characters that didn't even MAKE a table entry. But for the titles included in this nomination, they cannot say the same re: having even a bare bones namedrop. They either appear nowhere on this list, or are an alternative name mentioned nowhere on this list. Utopes (talk / cont) 02:15, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I will note, for navigation purposes, the titles in this nomination are sorted from oldest at the top and newest at the bottom. Some of the older titles do have a light history, but none of the newer ones do (i.e. nothing after the year 2008 has any history). And for those that do have history, a good chunk have either been through an AfD, are so minor that they were redirected in various short periods of time, or both. Utopes (talk / cont) 03:01, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sanju Bhagat

No mention of "sanju" or "bhagat" at the target, or any context of his case of fetus in fetu. Utopes (talk / cont) 01:51, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Samlor mcheu

No mention at the target, and could not find evidence of this spelling missing a vowel, and including an extra e. Seems implausible to me, although perhaps content at the page or a translation could clear this up. Utopes (talk / cont) 01:49, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

S from Hell

No mention of this meme, or "hell", at the target article. Utopes (talk / cont) 01:44, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rute Gunnay

No mention of "Rute" or "Gunnay" mentioned at the target article, hasn't had content at this title since 2006. Utopes (talk / cont) 01:32, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rush (Leland Remix)

No mention of "Leland" or a remix of Rush is mentioned at the target article. Utopes (talk / cont) 01:31, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RTV News Inc.

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

No mention of RTV News at the target article. Utopes (talk / cont) 01:29, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Roshutsu

Seems to be an alternate language version of exhibitionism, not mentioned at the target, and with no strong association to the target outside of what would be expected of WP:RLANG. Utopes (talk / cont) 01:22, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ross and Rachel (song)

No mention of "Ross" or "Rachel" at the target singer's page, but also no mention at Jake Miller discography either. Utopes (talk / cont) 01:20, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Roses (SoMo song)

No mention of a song called Roses at the target article, not a helpful redirect and indicates that we have content when we don't. Utopes (talk / cont) 01:13, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Romantic Homicide (Jaden Hossler song)

No mention of this song, "Romantic", or "Homicide" at the target article. The existence of a redirect indicates content that we don't have on Wikipedia. Utopes (talk / cont) 01:12, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rockman 4 Minus Infinity

This ROM hack is not discussed at the target. No mention of "Minus", "infinity", "ROM", or "Hack" at the target page. The existence of a redirect indicates content at the target that we don't have and is never addressed, making this not a very useful redirect. Utopes (talk / cont) 01:10, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As the creator of this redirect: I was planning on adding content about the ROM hack to the article when I had time, but it slipped my mind. I do think it is notable enough for at least a brief mention, with several articles about it on the internet. [1], [2] [3] Also, as a well-known hack, it is a plausible search term, and it's mentioned in multiple other pages on WP, which makes it a useful redirect to have.
I do agree that it's awkward that it's not mentioned at the target page - would it help if I just used these sources to add a brief summary of what the hack is to the article? I'm not super familiar with the exact policies here, so if I'm misunderstanding something, I apologize. HappyWith (talk) 06:48, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rkkody

No mention of this former cult member at the target article, in any form, it seems. Utopes (talk / cont) 01:08, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. He is actually mentioned. According to CBS News this was Chuck Humphrey's cult name. Humphrey is mentioned here. I could add a mention this was his name in the group, if you'd like? PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:43, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Riksenergi

No mention of this fictional agency/company (derived from the deleted categories) at the target role-playing game. Utopes (talk / cont) 01:03, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redwop

No mention or context as to what "redwop" is at the target article. Seems to be a company based on external searches, but such a company is not discussed at the article. Utopes (talk / cont) 00:58, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recursive X-Y cut

No mention of "recursive", "x-y" or "cut" at the target article. Used to be it's own article, but this seems to be a topic that isn't discussed at the overarching topic of "bitmaps". Utopes (talk / cont) 00:55, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget The topic appears to have been discussed in literature (e.g. [4], [5]), but would be more appropriate for Document layout analysis, to which I added a mention of it. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 07:01, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rail transport in Socotra

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

We have nothing to say about rail transport at the target article. Anyone that types in "rail transport in socotra" but doesn't click on the article or glosses over the unrelated info about minibuses (on a hunt to find information on rail transport) will get the faulty impression that rail transport is discussed at the target. We don't have redirects for topics that DON'T exist on an island, and aren't mentioned as not existing. We wouldn't have Horse transport in Socotra, Plane transport in Socotra, or Spaceship transport in Socotra just because "the article says minibus transport, so therefore it's helpful to know that these don't exist." Alternatively, a red link is more explicit that a topic doesn't exist, as it doesn't make people question the topic's existence, and think "Why does this redirect exist if rail transport doesn't, is the article wrong? Surely there must be something to explain this discrepancy..." Utopes (talk / cont) 00:41, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rail transport in X is one of those topics we have myriad links for for historical (cultural?) reasons, unlike horse plane and spaceships. Suspect this is one of those. I lean towards delete, but not strongly. CMD (talk) 01:05, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per my arguments in the previous discussion. This is misleading due to the target not discussing this topic. -- Tavix (talk) 01:36, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Per nom. I find it a bit funny for such a redirect to exist, especially because this island has literally no infrastructure Abo Yemen✉ 03:36, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per nom, the existence of the redirect implies the existence of something that just isn't there. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 06:44, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rail Sim Pro

No mention of "Rail", "Sim" or "Pro" at the target article. Was redirected here after a 2015 AfD as an "obvious alternative to AfD", but this topic seems to have never been discussed at the target before, and certainly not after. Not a helpful redirect in its current form. Utopes (talk / cont) 00:34, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rachel Inns

No mention of Inns at the target article. Used to exist standalone, before being redirected into the list where it was presumably mentioned, but no longer. Utopes (talk / cont) 00:31, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

R@ygold

No mention of "raygold" or "r@ygold" at the target article. Seems to be a tagline or username, maybe, although I haven't looked too far into how incorporable this topic might be into the article. Utopes (talk / cont) 00:29, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This court document from another case gives more information about the word, and it doesn't seem to be specific enough to warrant a redirect to this case in particular. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 06:55, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Quantum realm

Realms are not discussed at the target page. With the existing of a conflicting Quantum Realm, there's no diffcaps differentiation in topics. Should have matching targets, with a hatnote at Features of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not the other way around. Utopes (talk / cont) 00:25, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support I read a lot of QM and "realm" is not common. Johnjbarton (talk) 04:07, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per Johnjbarton. As a professional QCD physicist, I can affirm that physicists are not keen on the word realm, tending to describe areas in real or abstract spaces as regions. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 09:42, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: This is obviously linked with the Afd of Baakghost. Here too, I suggest to Keep the redirect (and then rename. Baak (Telugu film) if needed, and maybe ask for page protection. Like that, history can be kept and further work on the article is easier. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 13:33, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
