• Jaakko Saario →Esa Saario (talk ·links ·history ·stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

User:Jaakko.saario originally created the pageEsa Saario under the wrong nameJaakko Saario, and later requested it to be moved to the correct name. This means that the pageJaakko Saario is now useless. Jaakko Saario and Esa Saario are different people, whether they are related I don't know, but that is not relevant here. Esa Saario is clearly notable but Jaakko Saario is not, and besides, I don't see why one person should redirect to another. All incoming links to this redirect are from Wikipedia's internal maintenance pages.Delete this.JIP |Talk20:36, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Indeed so, but both user "Elmidae" and "JIP" are correct, therefore this redirect should be deleted in my opinion.Extremely sexy (talk)01:09, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:PNS to a moribund portal that was recently replaced with an article redirectper MfD. Page views are almost zero.  —Scott•talk14:46, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally: this and the nomination below for#P:Freedom have led me to look atCategory:Redirects to portal space. There are641 "P:" redirects. I suspect the vast majority of them will be unlinked and have negligible traffic. What's the best way to investigate? Previousen masse nominations of shortcuts have often floundered (I'm thinking of examples likethis in 2010 which was specifically on the topic of redirects to portal space; there were also others around 2014when this was a hot topic).  —Scott•talk16:54, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment "P:" redirects to portals are specifically listed atWP:PNR, indicating that there is consensus for them to exist as a class. Main → Portal redirects are also explicitly excluded fromWP:CSD#R2. I would therefore strongly advise against a mass nomination of P: redirects without first having gained consensus to deprecate the pseudo-namespace.Thryduulf (talk)00:45, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I know that and I'm not suggesting one, hence the comment above.  —Scott•talk17:24, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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

Inspired by the nomination ofWiki/ down below. I'm wondering what we should do with this redirect. I don't think the current target makes sense, given that "w/" only means "with" in the plain English meaning of the term and none of the articles in the disambiguation deal with that. Should wedelete it? Should weretarget it toMain Page as a likely mistake per below?King of♥♦♣ ♠02:53, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or soft redirect to Wiktionarywikt:w/. Almost nobody is going to be helped by either deletion or retargetting this to the main page.Thryduulf (talk)12:19, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Soft redirect to Wiktionary (wikt:wwikt:w/ (see additional comment below)-PS-2019-04-02) per Thryduulf's comment above. Similar towiki/ andwiki\ below, this could also be an accidental attempt to get tohttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php (the main page), but I think that is much more unlikely than either wiki/ or wiki\. Better to redirect to wiktionary (and barring that,with is still a better choice than deleting or redirecting to the main page as Thryduulf argued above). - Paul^T+/_C21:28, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Soft redirect towikt:wwikt:w/. The current target is incorrect as "w/" is an abbreviation of the word "with" but the articleWith is about things named "With", which is unrelated to the word "with".JIP |Talk13:58, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• I still think thatwikt:w/ is the better target, as that matches what people who intentionally used the slash are searching for, and we should prioritise correct results over typos.Thryduulf (talk)09:54, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're right, that's a better idea.JIP |Talk16:28, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I erred in my original comment and that error ledAmorymeltzer to relist the discussion. My intended target for the soft direct to Wiktionary waswikt:w/ but I accidentally wrote outwikt:w. Sorry for the confusion and unnecessary discussion! I have amended my comment above to make this clear as well as referencing this new comment here. - Paul^T+/_C19:00, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the clarification!  I probably still would have relisted, so no need to apologize! ~Amory(u •t •c)19:11, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget toBarack Obama Day. The redirect implies a holiday to me, in the same vein as a few entries inCategory:Presidential birthdays in the United States. --Tavix^(talk)17:01, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget toBarack Obama Day per Tavix. His actual birthday is mentioned directly on that page as well. Furthermore,Barack Obama Day (about 2 separate holidays in the US - only one of which is Obama's birthday) andObama Day (the Kenyan holiday) should probably be merged into a single article as well, though that is for a separate XfD. - Paul^T+/_C19:11, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
