- Comment Are you sure it actually isn't used? I would not be surprised to learn if there is a bot that replaces uses of template cn with template citation needed when it dates it - and its super handy to type less when chucking cns around.

- The result of the discussion wasretarget toTemplate:LGBTQ topics and Judaism. --Patar knight -chat/contributions01:06, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There are many LGBTQ topics other than homosexuality. The current target article doesn't even cover the full scope of the "LG" part of "LGBTQ", as there's much to lesbian and gay Jewish culture that doesn't fit under "views on homosexuality", like the existence ofLGBTQ synagogues or organizations likeKeshet. That's before getting into the "B" and particularly the "T", the latter of which is covered somewhere completely different,Transgender people and religion § Judaism. That's currently linked by hatnote, but that is an incomplete solution. "LGBTQ topics and Judaism" is not just a viable topic, it's anFAäble one, so I suggest we eitherdelete perWP:RETURNTORED or—a bit unconventional, but allowed—retarget to{{LGBTQ topics and Judaism}}, a navbox I just created, and mark as an{{r with possibilities}}. This is a strong opinion regarding the "LGBT(Q)" redirects, and a normal-strength opinion regarding the "Lesbian and gay" ones.Gender and Jewish studies is another possible target, but it actually doesn't say much about LGBTQ topics as currently written --Tamzin[cetacean needed](they|xe|🤷)00:06, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Retarget - I agree that the nominated redirects are poorly targetted, yet they do have some utility and are therefore better than dead (red) or no links at all. The guiding light here is to fulfill Wikipedia's purpose. Our mission is to provide knowledge, and linking to that knowledge is often the first step. In regard to the mission, it's better to have on-target redirects, even if the destination is a navigation template and not an article. And therefore, I support retargetting to{{LGBTQ topics and Judaism}}. —The Transhumanist 03:37, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The Wiktionary entry is unreferenced and spurious.—Alalch E.02:41, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]- The Wiktionary entry is notunreferenced and spurious as you claim, because it cites several quotations, which are the usual way of citing things at Wiktionary.

- The result of the discussion wasretarget toSplatter. --Patar knight -chat/contributions03:44, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is a "splatter" emoji which could mean any variety of things, not just one genre of painting. My first choice isdeletion, since emojis appear differently on different devices and their meaning is contextual and varies from individual to individual. Importantly, this emoji was introduced recently and has not had time to develop a unified "meaning" yet. My second choice is a retarget tosplatter, a DAB page, but I don't think this target should stay.Cremastra (talk)16:49, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Retarget toSplatter.Don't delete. Deleting this page would make it the only official emoji without a redirect on Wikipedia. This is probably why every other emoji redirect discussion brought up in the past few years has concluded in akeep/retarget decision.

- The word is known as the m-word, because it is sometimes viewed as derogatory and it is sometimes called the m-word. The word "Motherfucker" is a related word to "fuck" which is commonly known as the F-word.RaschenTechner (talk)19:21, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

- DABify - We haveC-word as a dab, and it seems to be a pretty good and useful DAB to me. I see no reason why M-word can't be the same. We aren't Urban Dictionary... because we aren't any dictionary. But the words people use are of encyclopedic value, and encyclopedic content can be provided. And navigational aides are useful to get people to the information they are looking for.Fieari (talk)06:36, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral between keeping, retargeting, and deleting butstrong oppose DABifying. This isn't the same asC-word, because there are several entries on that DAB page for encyclopedic topics literally called "(the) C-word". It's not the same as making a DAB page for a random, obscure euphemism that isn't particularly common for any of the things it could potentially mean. —Anonymous03:13, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned in target. The fandom name for the relationship between the Winchester brothers inSupernatural, but they aren't twins. Probably notable, I'm getting some Google scholar hits, but I just madeMpreg and should probably stop lest I be pigeonholed into this particular corner of fandom topics.

- Mea culpa, it is actually mentioned atSupernatural_(American_TV_series)#Fandom_and_popular_culture, and in fact was targeted there at several points in the history before reverting toIncest between twins. The supernatural target seems obviously correct to me, so I suppose my first preference is toretarget and second to delete perWP:RETURNTORED but definitely not to keep as is.Rusalkii (talk)20:36, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not sure how this is "version 2", since it was created as a redirect (not created by a pagemove) and has never had any content in its history. Nobody's going to link it by accident or type it into the URL bar, and the only way you'll find it in the search bar is a search that will also find the target; probably all visitors are people who see it on WhatLinksHere or a list of possible search results and visit it out of curiosity. The only editors in its history are an account last active in 2012, a bot, and a deceased individual.Nyttend (talk)00:22, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
