Not mentioned anywhere in the target. Someone suggested in theprevious nomination that this redirect should be set to the company's page (instead of deleting it outright) because there are "some coverage of the product in Google News archives from 2007, but it doesn't appear to be substantial or fromWP:RS", and apparently it was accepted as the result.NotCory (talk)11:19, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion wasmoveTaichi (name) over the redirect. I find clear consensus for this, and will add appropriate hatnotes. --BDD (talk)15:45, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:
Right now, "Taichi" is a redirect totai chi. However, "Taichi", it is a very common Japanese name (seeTaichi (name)). We should prioritize a correct spelling over a common misspelling. Instead of a redirect, "Taichi" should be the disambiguation page now found at "Taichi (name)", with a hatnote explaining where to find the page on tai chi.SilverStar54 (talk)02:59, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Support per nom with a hatnote back to Tai chi. --Lenticel(talk)06:05, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Support per nom with a hatnote back to Tai chi.Jōkepedia (talk)14:06, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Support: i.e. moveTaichi (name) toTaichi and put a hatnote there. (As a point of detail,Taichi (name) is not a disambiguation page, it's a nameSIA).Shhhnotsoloud (talk)21:44, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Disambiguate, retarget toTaiji (disambiguation), which is the destination ofTai Chi (disambiguation). It is more likely to be the martial arts subject instead of the Japanese given name. It is not a misspelling of "tai chi", it is an alternative romanization, just as "taiji" is an alternative romanization for the martial art. Remove the single surname from the name article, and move it to the disambiguation page, making the Japanese name page only about the male given name, giving it proper focus to match what the infobox says. --65.92.247.90 (talk)09:35, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmm, the one problem with that is that the Japanese name cannot be romanized as Taiji under any system, so it doesn't really belong on aTaiji (disambiguation) page. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠18:07, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Can we flip the pagename toTaichi instead of Taiji? I will note that several other disambiguation page combines similar spellings like variant surname spellings or variant given name spellings into one dab page, which would suggest that combining Taiji and Taichi isn't a big problem. Or we could duplicate those Taiji entries that also romanize as Taichi/Tai-Chi into a new disambiguation page at
TaichTaichi --65.92.247.90 (talk) 01:11, 11 November 2023 (UTC) -- upd corrected typo65.92.247.90 (talk)02:58, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]- There are also Japanese names at Taiji, which are not variant spellings of the ones at Taichi but rather totally unrelated characters. Though I guess there is precedent for merging entries even when doing so is technically incorrect, e.g.William Smith, where some of the people on there have Will or Bill as their real name. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠05:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I strongly oppose merging theTaichi (name) andTaiji pages. The pages should absolutely include links to each other in the "see also" section, but combining different romanizations would go against well-established precedence for dab pages.
- You're incorrect about "taichi" being an alternative romanization. It's a misspelling of the common name "tai chi", which itself is a misspelled/shortened version of "t'ai chi ch'uan", the Wade-Giles romanization of the word. No system of romanizing Chinese turns 太極拳 or 太極 into "taichi".SilverStar54 (talk)00:43, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: MoveTaichi (name) to base name or disambiguate?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,—TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh)23:48, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to base name. To help anyone not looking for the name get to the right place, I suggest we have the hatnote say:
- This article is about the Japanese name "Taichi". For for the martial art, seetai chi. For other uses of "tai chi", seetaiji.SilverStar54 (talk)06:19, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This redirect is aMOS:FICTIONAL common name for Yew from the books/gameWarrior Cats. There does not seem to be a good alternative target as the other common uses of "deathberry" also relate to fiction. No results on Wikipedia library search. Edit to add: A search of books on archive.org returns results for "Deathberry" from the previously mentioned Warrior Cats series by Erin Hunter and a character from theBleach (manga). There are no uses in any books of botany, popular or scientific, only 60 results in total, all in fiction or documents about the books. This is a purely in-universe common name for European Yew.🌿MtBotany (talk)16:04, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is a perfectly valid alternative name for the plant and "deathberry" is a real English word that refers to yew.Sunstar VIII (talk)18:52, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Sunstar VIII Do you have a source for that fact that is not from the book series or related media?🌿MtBotany (talk)20:10, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- No, but the etymology of a word doesn't matter.Sunstar VIII (talk)21:07, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Sunstar VIII: We aren't fandom.warriorcats.com; it is a reasonable request to see references supporting your bold claim that it is a "real English word that refers to yew".Edward-Woodrow (talk)21:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- If the common name had crossed over to actual common usage outside fanfic and roleplay, then it should be mentioned. There are many obscure common names mentioned in plant articles like atPedicularis groenlandica#Names. I don't know how often anyone uses "elephant-head lousewort" from my example, but I found it in a source about the species. If at some point a book or source about plants (Wikipedia:Reliable sources) says that "deathberry" is a common name that's good to go in. Names do crossover from popular culture to common usage, but not yet in this case.🌿MtBotany (talk)21:28, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- We could create an anchor atList of Bleach volumes, whereThe Deathberry Returns (lol) is mentioned. It strikes me as a bit silly, though, and I think I'd preferdeletion.—TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh)21:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Too vague to be pointing to a list from one specific city and I can't see a broad topic / dab page that would be a better target so I am proposing deletion.Jenks24 (talk)09:47, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Could this point toAbandoned railway instead?Steelkamp (talk)10:04, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Note I've addedClosed lines to this discussion. Although that target is geographically broader it is still too narrow and not specific to closed lines.Thryduulf (talk)11:47, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Don't keep. "Closed line" seems to have at least one definition in mathematics,Line segment is relevant but whether it covers all the meaning(s) I don't know. I'm currently unsure whether I prefer deletion, retargetting with a hatnote or disambiguation, but the current targets are definitely wrong. 11:47, 13 November 2023 (UTC)- Along with potential mathematical meanings,Line (comics),Shipping lines andAirlines are all lines that might conceivably be closed; it doesn't seem at all given that someone searching for closed lines specifically means railway lines. There's also the militaryLine (formation) (and the relatedClose order formation. Possibly a disambiguation page would be valuable here; though I wonder whether it's best to just delete this as hopelessly vague.Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk)13:06, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Contour lines can also be open or closed, that wouldn't be a good redirect target and I'm not sure that it would be a good entry on a dab page but it's another thing to consider.Thryduulf (talk)13:48, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What do editors think of aretarget toWikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources#Discogs? The WikiProject doesn't seem to be super active, if its talk page is to be believed, and it would be useful to have a more conciseWP: shortcut. Speaking from experience, I've seen multiple instances ofAfC reviewers accidentally using the wrong shortcut when someone inevitably submits a poorly-sourced album draft.—TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh)09:43, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment:
- 1. Yeah, the WikiProject isn't usually all that active. I've had it on my watchlist for a while now and it comes up occasionally, but most questions are better redirected to WikiProject Albums since that gets way more eyes anyway.
- 2. There isWP:RSDISCOGS already which does the same job being proposed here. Having both wouldn't be a bad idea, but it has already been covered.
- 3. I also acknowledge that I have made the same mistake of going to DISCOGS when I wanted RSDISCOGS in the past.

Delete perWP:UFILM. Target subject released 3 months ago, and redirect has virtually no page views and no links in mainspace.Steel1943 (talk)00:16, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep for now. This is a premature nomination, as while the page views have slowed they have not conclusively ended - they might have done but it's too soon to tell whether the views on 2 and 3 November are the final blip or part of a continuing trend of views.Thryduulf (talk)01:30, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- "Released 3 months ago" ≠ "premature nomination" perWP:UFILM. Do you have a different guideline or essay to support your stance?Steel1943 (talk)01:33, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I have explained repeatedly and at length why a rigid interpretation of UFILM is directly contrary to the purpose of redirects (seeWP:R#KEEP points 3, 4 and 5. Tavix has failed to acknowledge this (possibly due to a lack of understanding) on any previous occasion so I felt it unnecessary to go into detail on this occasion. However, this will not stop me from objecting to the deletion of redirects of this nature that are nominated for deletion before their page views have tapered off. You will note that I recommend deletion of those redirects thathave ceased being useful, regardless of when that happened.Thryduulf (talk)01:47, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete in the spirit ofWP:UFILM. Target subject released over half a year ago, and redirect has no incoming links from the mainspace and has virtually no page views.Steel1943 (talk)00:13, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. @Steel1943: Should we apply the same logic to redirects like "System Shock (2022 video game)"? The article was moved around a lot when estimated release dates changed, and they are now equally misleading. We have such redirects for 2017, 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2022.IceWelder [✉]00:43, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @IceWelder: That would be a different argument sinceSystem Shock (2022 video game)System Shock (2022 video game) is potentially failedWP:CRYSTAL rather than being a redirect that was proven to be accurate at one point and then changed later. (I mean thatSystem Shock (2022 video game)System Shock (2022 video game) was never accurate since the subject was never released in 2022, but the target subject was always "upcoming" until it was released.)Steel1943 (talk)01:20, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- The year redirects should definitely not be bundled with this one. The general consensus regarding such redirects for films is that they are usually kept if there was significant publicity around a particular date or other reason why someone is likely to look for it under that date because there is a high likelihood of contemporary sources referring to it as such; where there is no or low likelihood of that happening the redirects are usually deleted. I have not investigated which applies in this case.Thryduulf (talk)01:39, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- (edit conflict) I agree with this, considering ... there have been discussions in the past regarding "did not release this year disambiguator" redirects; in such cases, some of the discussions have resulted in "keep" due to there being enough references to viably believe readers would be searching for the subject attached to certain erroneous years.Steel1943 (talk)01:43, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like a subject which may never be able to establish notability. Either way, the redirect is a{{R with history}} and targets what was apparently the only linked biographical subject in the edit history ... a sound designer.

- Restore and send to AfD. If it survives, I would then support the deletion of the "upcoming film" redirect that is created by means of page-movement to a correct location. But in the meantime, the pipeline of BLARing and RfDing (under the context that its located at an inappropriate name) seems to be a skirting of due process. Deletion would result in an article that existed in revision history being deleted without going through AfD, which seems to be the big sticking point for this topic.Utopes(talk /cont)19:15, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
