May 18

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on May 18, 2024.

"What about the children?! Won't somebody please think of the children!?"

• "What about the children?! Won't somebody please think of the children!?" → List of recurring The Simpsons characters#Helen Lovejoy  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

A variant of the title without quotes, What about the children?! Won't somebody please think of the children !?, redirects to Think of the children (which prominently mentions Helen Lovejoy). Additionally, I don't think redirects surrounded by quotes often exist here. Xeroctic (talk) 09:50, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Valéncia

• Valéncia → Valencia  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Nominating on behalf of Agpshi, who nominated this redirect via PROD with the following rationale: The name with an acute accent is not used either in academic or official sources and, in spite of some recent attempts at making it official (stemming from one of the parties currently governing the city, Vox), it has never been so and it is unlikely that they will succeed. CycloneYoris ^talk! 09:19, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

it depends on what you plan to use the article called Valéncia for. You haven't given any arguments to use this name elsewhere. "Valéncia" is name of the city in Valencian language. If the use of this name is needed elsewhere - please provide an example and specifics. If you just want to remove this name from Wikipedia, I am against it, because it would be better if it was a redirection to Valencia as a local name in regional language.

Medicare’s problems

• Medicare’s problems → Medicare (United States)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This redirect was an article for less than an hour. While the Medicare (United States) article does mention "Medicare's problems" relating to fiscal policy, they are not the same "problems" ("coverage limitations") mentioned in the WP:BLARed article. Additionally, "Medicare" may also refer to the Canadian and Australian systems, each of which surely has its own problems. I think this is a figurative WP:XY case, and this redirect should be deleted; there are just too many things its title could mean. (Note: the apostrophe is a curly one, not the straight one ordinarily used on Wikipedia.) PleaseStand (talk) 06:46, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Bharatiya Janata Party, Mrghalaya

• Bharatiya Janata Party, Mrghalaya → Bharatiya Janata Party, Meghalaya  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Unlikely misspelling of Meghalaya. Gotitbro (talk) 05:12, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Gastrosexual

• Gastrosexual → Metrosexual  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
• Gastrosexuality → Metrosexual  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Not mentioned. Retarget to wikt:gastrosexual if there's no mention anywhere else. --MikutoH ^talk! 04:51, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Flexisexual

• Flexisexual → Metrosexual#Other terms  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
• Flexisexuality → Metrosexual#Other terms  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Retarget to wikt:flexisexual or sexual fluidity. This section doesn't exist or was changed nor is it mentioned there (anymore). --MikutoH ^talk! 04:46, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Albert Rosenfeld(rugby league player)

• Albert Rosenfeld(rugby league player) → Albert Rosenfeld  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Apparently, this redirect has too significant of an edit history to be speedily deleted for WP:X3. However, the page history doesn't look that substantive and it's just someone trying to make a page for a topic that already had a page. 104.7.152.180 (talk) 04:16, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Parser function

• Wikipedia:Parser function → Help:Magic words#Parser functions  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 
• Wikipedia:Parser Functions → mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Both of these redirects should probably target the same page. I'm neutral on which option to pick. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 03:37, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

• Retarget the latter to Help:Magic words#Parser functions. Its title does not unambiguously refer to either target, whether the list of parser functions available here (both words are capitalized) or those provided by the ParserFunctions MediaWiki extension (there is a space between the words). The first target is nevertheless better, because it provides useful information regarding this particular site that the reader may be looking for, as well as a link to the same MediaWiki.org page in the section hatnote (no extra click versus a soft redirect).

American actress

• American actress → Actor  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This seems oddly and overly specific. I feel like we wouldn't want to make a habit of having nationality-plus-profession redirects to articles on professions that do not have an affinity for nationalities (which most do not). I note, by the way, that American actor redirects to Lists of American actors. BD2412 T 00:27, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Retarget to Lists of American actors. Much more useful to readers than the current target. Thefficacy (talk) 03:21, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

• Retarget to Lists of American actors per User:Thefficacy --Lenticel ^(talk) 00:23, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
• Retarget to Lists of American actors. I was going to suggest List of American film actresses as an alternative, but List of American television actresses also exists, would be a potentially valid target, and both of those are located at Lists of American actors, so... that's where this should point. Alternatively, we could make a mini-dab that only contains those two links (with the potential to create a List of American broadway actresses and other such ilk?).

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Thoughts on creating a mini-dab at this title?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris ^talk! 01:29, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Retarget to Lists of American actors to match American actor. No real opposition to making a mini-dab, but I'm not particularly swayed by the idea, either. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 03:33, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
