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

This redirect should lead to Dylan (name). Especially once Dylann Roof's shooting ceases to be a current event, I suspect that more people will be searching for people named "Dylan" than this one particular person who spells it with a double N. Someguy1221 ( talk) 23:16, 9 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• Keep as this redirect is an {{ R from given name}}, and redirects to Dylann Roof because "Wikipedia has only one biographical article of a person by this given name." Retargeting to Dylan (name) isn't helpful because Dylann Roof is the only person at that page to spell his name that way. In case someone accidentally used "Dylann" to look for someone named "Dylan", a hatnote will help that person find what they are looking for.

Changing !vote to retarget to Dylan (name) as his name is no longer unique on Wikipedia. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 04:40, 11 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• Comment. Without expressing an !vote at this stage, the justification for the current redirect seems to be having a bet each way. "There is only one important Dylann" versus someone may type "Dylann to look for someone named Dylan". Well, it seems to me that BOTH of these situations can be addressed by having Dylann redirect to Dylan, where every Dylann/Dylan is found regardless of the searcher's intent. WWGB ( talk) 01:07, 10 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• It's not a "bet", it's how we handle people with unique given names. Template:R from given name makes this clear. Using this template adds the entry to a category where you can see all of the unique given names. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 01:21, 10 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• Delete or Redirect to Dylan (name). Redirecting a generic first name headword to the article of a racist mass murderer strikes me as a bit of a BLP problem, for anyone else named "Dylann". Lankiveil ^{( speak to me)} 01:56, 10 July 2015 (UTC). reply

• @ Lankiveil: Did you notice that there isn't anyone else on Wikipedia with that name? Would you want to delete/retarget the other redirects in Category:Redirects from given names? BLP has nothing to do with it, it's simply his name and it happens to be unique. As long as someone has a unique name, there should be an {{ R from given name}} if nothing else than for categorization purposes. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 02:13, 10 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• I'm sure you realise there are people with this name who are not in Wikipedia. BLP protections aren't just for article subjects. The fact that nobody else with this spelling has gotten an article written about them yet is irrelevant. Lankiveil ^{( speak to me)} 04:05, 10 July 2015 (UTC). reply

• Its not irrelevant, it's exactly what the rcat says: "This is a redirect from a person's given name. It is used because Wikipedia has only one biographical article of a person by this given name." If you want to change the rules, it'd be best to nominate that rcat for deletion because it's used for several hundred redirects. Yes, it's unfortunate that there's a few people that share the name with a murderer, but unless any of those people become notable, Dylann Roof will continue to have a "unique" name. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 04:17, 10 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• Retarget. It's a plausible typo for Dylan, and there is also a potentially notable second person by the name of Dylann listed above. I'm not aware of any consensus (in the the form of an actual guideline or policy) that says we should be redirecting given names to BLPs, anyway. Such a guideline would probably have to address situations like this, where the BLP in question in that of a racist murderer. I would imagine it's a bit contentious. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 17:02, 10 July 2015 (UTC) reply

As Tavix notes, {{ R from given name}} can be used when someone is ubiquitously known by their given name and are a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC (e.g., Saddam) or when we have "only one biographical article of a person" of that name (e.g., Epatha).

Retarget to Flags of the Confederate States of America, where this previously targeted until earlier today. Sure, the "stars and bars" flag is the best known today, but redirecting this term to an article specifically about modern usage is pretty egregious RECENTISM. If we had an article specifically about that flag (not just its modern usage), I'd be completely fine with this term redirecting there as WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. BDD ( talk) 14:39, 9 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• Keep· The common use of the term "Confederate flag" to refer to the stars-and-bars thing is at least fifty years old. If you do a Google search for "Confederate flag", you can see that it is quite clearly the one and only meaning in present-day discourse. Finally, we have a hatnote at the top of the redirect target article for those very few uses that might refer to the now little-known official flags of the Confederacy. -- The Anome ( talk) 14:42, 9 July 2015 (UTC) reply

I don't disagree that it's the best known; see WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. But it's much older than 50 years, so redirecting to a "Modern display of" fork is inappropriate. -- BDD ( talk) 14:54, 9 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• Keep - without commenting on whether or not there should be a content fork for the battle flag of the army of Tennessee, versus a content fork for the 2015 controversy, the current target is appropriate. Note that the target was only created on July 1 of this year, and describes what is commonly known as the Confederate flag in great detail. Ivanvector 🍁 ( talk) 14:52, 9 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Maybe the target article could be renamed and expanded; it's not the only place that flag is described right now. -- BDD ( talk) 14:54, 9 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Well, now we're talking about it. It would be more appropriate to expand the section in the original Flags of the CSA article, giving consideration for weight and which of these flags is most recognizable and most likely to be searched. The modern controversy over flying that flag should be a separate article, but there needn't be a separate article on the flag itself. Ivanvector 🍁 ( talk) 19:13, 9 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• Disambiguate - I propose that "Confederate flag" be used as a disambiguation page, similarly to Confederacy. We need to keep in mind that other confederacies have existed, even if "Confederate flag" in the US most commonly refers to a variant of the Army of Northern Virginia battle flag. The top link should definitely be to Flags of the Confederate States of America#The "Confederate flag", but other flags of confederacies could be listed, such as the Iroquois confederacy and Swiss confederacy, as could links like Modern display of the Confederate flag and Flags of the Confederate States of America. Also, I want to point out that the "stars and bars" was the first national flag of the CSA, not the battle flag, though that's a common misconception. SStephens13 ( talk • contribs) 18:43, 9 July 2015 (UTC) reply

The Swiss flag has never been referred to as "the Confederate flag", though, only as the Swiss flag. It wouldn't belong on a dab page.  Sandstein  19:06, 9 July 2015 (UTC) reply

True, but the page being discussed is " Confederate flag", not " The Confederate Flag" (though perhaps a redirect for that should be created as well). The flag of Switzerland is still a confederate flag even if it isn't the confederate flag. SStephens13 ( talk • contribs) 19:43, 9 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Yes, but the Swiss flag has never been described, in English, as a confederate flag, as in: "confederate flag of Switzerland". It's one possible description of the flag from the perspective of an English speaker, but not a name in actual use even in English, and therefore doesn't belong on a dab page. In German and French, it has been called "Bundesfahne" / "drapeau fédéral", but that translates to "union flag" or "federal flag". Indeed, Switzerland has had a civil war that was pretty much a miniature version of the the US civil war, except without slavery. And the Swiss flag was the flag of the victorious federal, "Union", side, not that of the rebels (which didn't agree on a flag), so the name "confederate flag" conveys pretty much the opposite of what the Swiss flag stands for, historically speaking.  Sandstein  13:44, 10 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• Keep - but I also agree with SStephens13 that Confederate flag should be a disambiguation page, because of the clearly distinct two possible meanings of the phrase. However, since I think there's ample evidence that most people are looking for the variant of the Army of Northern Virginia battle flag, the top line should probably point to Modern display of the Confederate flag, and then Flags of the Confederate States of America can follow, along with a list of the more notable flags' pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rockypedia ( talk • contribs) 19:19, 9 July 2015

• Is there not a primary topic for the term? If there are many lesser-known flags of confederacies, the solution there would be to have a Confederate flag (disambiguation) page for them. I have seen no evidence that the primary topic is not the flag that is currently being debated in the United States. bd2412 T 20:20, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

But "confederate flag" just means a flag of a confederacy. If the redirect was "the confederate flag", I would agree, and would advocate redirecting to Flags of the Confederate States of America#The "Confederate flag". As it is not, I prefer disambiguation. SStephens13 ( talk • contribs) 20:28, 9 July 2015 (UTC) reply

( edit conflict) I think we all agree on that. The problem is that there isn't a standalone article on that flag. There's an article about several flags, including this one, and there's an article about the contemporary significance of the flag. -- BDD ( talk) 20:28, 9 July 2015 (UTC) reply

It's still the oxymoron that you can't quite have a past sequel, so that is redundant (or at least a box set) but since these fellows lived in the past and now are projected into the future, we need something like the past historic future tense, which we do not have in English, the nearest we can get for the verb go is "I should have been ought to have been going", we do it all with adjunctives rather than sticking on suffixes like a proper language (Hungarian can do it in one word, for example).

Declaration of interest.

• Delete per WP:CRYSTAL, per Steel1943, and per BDD whose relist was not exactly neutral, but a good point nonetheless.

• Keep - Seems quite valid and I had personally searched for this information after seeing the movie. Steve Lux, Jr. ( talk) 21:42, 9 July 2015 (UTC) reply
• Delete Ivanvector's gentle callout of me was probably justified, but I agree with Steel1943's point enough to make a vote myself. Typically, we'd have a redirect for a future film sequel if there's some sort of discussion of it but delete if it's just someone's speculation, which applies especially to sequels two movies removed from existing ones. Especially given how successful Jurassic World is, I do think it's likely that the franchise will get a sixth film eventually, but until we can say anything about it—even a reliable source saying that it's coming—this is premature. -- BDD ( talk) 13:55, 17 July 2015 (UTC) reply
• Delete. The section discusses "sequels" in the plural, so the redirect isn't too far out of line. But at the end of the day, it's still a WP:CRYSTAL violation and should be deleted. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 18:35, 17 July 2015 (UTC) reply
• Keep. Good search term per Steve Lux, Jr. above. Also a typo for a transposed Jurassic Park IV. –  Paine  08:32, 20 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• 👯 → Playboy Bunny  ( links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

Originally targeted cosplay; was redirected by Gorobay (courtesy ping). On desktop and Android this appears as the head of a woman wearing bunny ears; as I understand it the iOS version shows two women dancing in leotards and bunny ears. Emojipedia calls this emoji Woman With Bunny Ears (link shows different appearances). I suggest retargeting to Moe anthropomorphism#Animals, which is the current target of Kemonomimi, which this emoji is supposedly intended to depict.

• Delete It sounds like there are legitimately two topics this could refer to. I know we tend to keep Unicode symbols and such as redirects like this, but that makes them essentially just function as Easter eggs. If someone puts, say, a Unicode snowman into the search box, how do we know they want what the symbol represents rather than the symbol itself? Trying to keep this one straight just doesn't feel worth it to me. -- BDD ( talk) 22:48, 30 June 2015 (UTC) reply
• Delete per BDD. I'm of the opinion that Emoji should only be redirected somewhere if there is an obvious target. For some (most?) of them, there is an obvious target, but I don't think that's the case here. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 23:01, 30 June 2015 (UTC) reply

• The stats are well above bot levels in my opinion: it has been viewed 344 times in the last 90 days. I'm against a disambiguation per WP:DABMENTION (it's not mentioned anywhere). HOWEVER, it is defined at Wiktionary as "woman with bunny ears." I think it should be soft redirected there ( wikt:👯), and someone can use that definition to make whatever conclusions they want from it. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 16:14, 1 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• Switching back to my original !vote as the soft redirect to Wiktionary idea never caught on. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 15:30, 16 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• Delete. The fact that I can't see these on my Windows 7 desktop means I have no way to decide. The fact I can't see these on my Windows 7 desktop (since I haven't whatever font necessary to be installed) means other readers, perhaps many, can't see them either. (The Playboy bunny is, by the way, a copyright logo.) In short, I don't think that emoji meets WP:TITLE: WP:EMOJI doesn't exist (nor MOS:EMOJI): Perhaps one should.

Technically it can't be part of a font since fonts don't have colours. It's a grapheme that has been just given a fucking space in the Unicode 01 plane. How it is rendered as a glyph is entirely up to your browser and that is not helpful to Wikipedia. One of the great things of Wikipedia is Keep it Simple, Stupid and this is just trying to do fancy bits that are, in my opinion, undesirable. Si Trew ( talk) 09:10, 1 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• Si Trew, the closest related guideline to a " WP:EMOJI" is Wikipedia:UNICODE. I don't think it's what you are looking for, but it seems to be all we have in regards to unicode emojis. Steel1943 ( talk) 16:37, 1 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• Disambiguate. Seems that there are multiple possible targets that could be reasonably searched by this emoji: why hinder readers by leading them to a search page that may not be helpful by deleting this title? Also, it's worth noting that Bunny girl currently redirects to Playboy Bunny (So, I'm also weak keep for that reason; most sources I have found seen to match this emoji with the term "Women with bunny ears", which some sources say is the Japanese term for "Playboy Bunny".)

• Delete Keep - Perhaps I'm wrong here but surely no one actually searches this place with an emoji ? ... I personally see no point in it nor do I believe it's useful in the slightest. – Davey2010 ^Talk 16:07, 1 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• @ Davey2010: Sometimes, these redirects help readers identify a emoji; probably one of the most useful emoji redirects is 🍠 considering that I would have no idea what it is just by looking at it. Steel1943 ( talk) 16:39, 1 July 2015 (UTC) reply

But see, that's absurd. Who says that's a sweet potato? Maybe that's the official definition, but it could just as easily depict a regular potato, or probably some other tubers as well. And if you know it's the Unicode for a sweet potato, 🍠 doesn't help you. -- BDD ( talk) 17:18, 1 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Well it's actually a "roasted sweet potato," not just a "sweet potato" as the redirect would imply. Is this a problem? Maybe a soft redirect to wikt:🍠 would help clear this up? (thinking aloud here) -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 17:32, 1 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Well I stand corrected, These - 😂 😭 - both are redirected so it kinda makes sense just to redirect this, I still believe it's pointless but hey ho. – Davey2010 ^Talk 17:36, 1 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Actually, what we think of as a potato is a sweet potato. (See Bryson, Made in America (book). Si Trew ( talk) 20:18, 1 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• Disambiguate - If there's two topics it could refer to, seems like the most obvious choice. — ajf ( talk) 23:10, 6 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• Keep per what Steel1943 said, that Bunny girl already redirects to Playboy Bunny, and since my kemonomimi suggestion went nowhere. I don't like the idea of disambiguating emoji: it's not a word that forms the title of several pages, it's a picture that a bunch of people see representing something different. Ivanvector 🍁 ( talk) 14:09, 10 July 2015 (UTC) reply

So why treat a picture different than a phrase that a bunch of people would interpret representing something different ( WP:PRIMARYTOPIC aside)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BDD ( talk • contribs) 14:11, 10 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Because with words we can say definitely that a target should be included, or not. At bunny (disambiguation), there is a definite list of things that "bunny" might refer to, or as the template says, "articles associated with the title Bunny". Any competent user can say that Howard "Bunny" Colvin should be listed there, and that Elizabeth II should not. With a picture, who's to say that I don't see 👯 a girl who likes baguettes, or 👯 a sprite from Final Fantasy II, or 👯 two chipmunks fighting over a pine cone, or 👯 Her Majesty the Queen? I see this having the potential for very serious edit warring, in the worst case, or just being difficult to maintain. If we can determine a "best" target then that's what we should do, but if they're ambiguous we should really not keep these. Ivanvector 🍁 ( talk) 14:25, 10 July 2015 (UTC) reply

There is a difference between glyph variation and the misinterpretation of a glyph. This character is either a picture of a woman’s head with bunny ears, or a picture of two dancing women with bunny or cat ears. It is definitely not two chipmunks. Gorobay ( talk) 14:33, 10 July 2015 (UTC) reply

It could be two dancing chipmunks. Maybe the artist has never seen one. 🐿

Before this gets too much more off-topic, if we're to agree that this should be disambiguated, might I suggest we create a new class of disambiguation pages? This isn't exactly "pages associated with the title 👯", although it's not far off. Ivanvector 🍁 ( talk) 14:42, 10 July 2015 (UTC) reply
