• Tector → List of Falling Skies characters  ( links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

There are a bunch of things named Tector, but none seem notable enough for a standalone article. I drafted a dab at Draft:Tector, and it already looks pretty dumb even though I only made it through the first two pages of search results. This had 9 hits last month, so it's probably not a very likely search term anyway, but when it is searched, I'm kind of thinking search results may be the best option.

• Disambiguate. I agree that it might be "dumb", but it's certainly useful for someone searching for it. That draft is better than search results because every usage of the term is on one page, instead of scattered through pages of search results. I've seen a few disambiguations that don't have any entries notable enough for a standalone article pass through an AfD, so this one should too if challenged. Examples include: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ernie Collins, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Move with You (2nd nomination), etc. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 21:02, 1 July 2015 (UTC) reply
• DAB it per Tavix' draft. Don't seem dumb to me at all. I was thinking also it is an aphrasis for protector as in e.g. Toe-tectors, steel toecapped boots, and also little nylon ones used in cleanrooms but that is hard to reference (easy to search with Your Favourite Search Engine but none seems very RS). (I'm not suggesting Cromwell was Lord Tector, although he was Lord Protector: but I think it is a fairly common aphrasis.) There again, we are WP:NOTDIC.

• 🏯 → Japanese castle  ( links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

This emoji seems ambiguous, considering that at least for me, this icon looks like a pagoda. Steel1943 ( talk) 16:31, 1 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• I think of pagodas as less pyramidal than this, though there are counterexamples on that article. As long as we mostly use Unicode redirects, I don't find this one particularly objectionable, but I'd be open to just getting rid of all of them. -- BDD ( talk) 17:51, 1 July 2015 (UTC) reply
• Comment: I want to soft redirect it per my rationale at WP:RFD#👯, but I had to wade through a gambit of Wiktionary policy to get there. (Fair warning: I've never used Wiktionary, so I might not know what I'm talking about.) wikt:🏯 was actually deleted last week by Kephir with the deletion rationale "Unattested character with no definition other than its Unicode name." That seems weird to me because I feel like a unicode definition would pass wikt:WT:ATTEST because it's verified through Unicode, and unicode is in widespread use. So I went to their deletion area, wikt:Wiktionary:Requests for deletion (which is ironically abbreviated RFD), and couldn't find any emoji related requests for deletion. Next, I went to wikt:WT:DELETE, which lists reasons why a page might be speedy deleted (which I'm assuming to mean without an RFD), and I'm not seeing any reasons there why that page might be deleted. So, I decided to be bold and recreate it using the same format as wikt:🔞 under the rationale that it contains more than just a unicode definition and requested an RFD there if someone still thinks it should be deleted. (It looks like you can just create a page again if it gets deleted per WT:DELETE#Undeletion.) -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 18:40, 1 July 2015 (UTC) reply

I'm assuming most people already know that they are emojis, so a redirect there probably wouldn't be helpful. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 19:33, 1 July 2015 (UTC) reply

However I am strongly against putting emoji into Wikipedia at all as it is confusing, especially because not everyone (myself included) has a browser capable of displaying them.

As a general point of order, I regard emoji as a foreign language (I don't mean Japanese, but its own language) and thus WP:NOTENGLISH, WP:RFOREIGN. We don't have 城, for example.

• 🔞 → Eirin  ( links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

This emoji's current target is specific to the film age ratings system in Japan. (For those of you who cannot see this nominated character, it's the number 18 with a circle around it with a slash through the middle.) This current target is probably not the world-wide view of what this symbol represents, let alone what it represents to the majority of this Wikipedia's readers, given that the English Wikipedia is intended for English readers/speakers. The best alternative target that I can think of off the top of my head is Age of majority, but I would think there has to be a better target out there somewhere.
