This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on January 21, 2017.

Engaeus affinis

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was restore stubs, retarget the common names to the stubs, and create articles for the species that have no history. SchreiberBike, I'll leave it to you to carry this out, thank you for volunteering! -- Tavix ( talk) 04:32, 2 February 2017 (UTC) reply

Delete. I can't find a policy statement, but I believe practice has been that we do not redirect species names to genus articles. I have mixed feelings about it because the genus article does provide some information, but the blue link gives the reader the expectation that there is a species article and they do not get what they expect. In the genus article at Engaeus they all show as blue links but in fact go nowhere.   SchreiberBike | ⌨  22:49, 21 January 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I'll ping the relevant project(s) but from memory standard practice is to redirect genus to species or vice versa in the case of single-species genuses, and to redirect species to genus when there is information about that species on the genus article but not enough yet for a standalone article. I haven't looked to see if either of these apply here or not. Thryduulf ( talk) 01:03, 22 January 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Why delete? Nothing keeps these from being turned into articles, if someone wants to. But yes, at least when it comes to palaeontology articles, species are usually redirected to the genus (for various reasons). Extant species usually get separate articles. FunkMonk ( talk) 01:21, 22 January 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: In the case of at least E. rostrogaleatus and E. urostrictus, they were redirected from merge by Stemonitis, and retain some categories. While preservation of history is probably not strictly necessary given what is in the main article, retention seems more useful than deletion. ~ Hydronium~Hydroxide~ (Talk)~ 01:36, 22 January 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep all as {{ R to subtopic}}, {{ R with potential}}, or similar. it's unlikely that any of these have high readership or interest in the general public, and I have no objection to future expansion, but a list of species, with year of description, authority, and conservation status of each, has the same information content of 35 near-identical stubs, with the advantage of easily viewing and comparing all species. I don't think all species must have their own article: content should dictate that in some cases. --Animalparty! ( talk) 02:22, 22 January 2017 (UTC) reply
    We don't seem to care if they have high readership/interest. There appears to be long-term consensus that species (not subspecies) are inherently notable and should eventually have articles.  —  SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  21:16, 23 January 2017 (UTC) reply

    Pinging Plantdrew since I recall this is somewhat their area of expertise. Pinging other participants from the aforementioned discussion to hopefully help assess to see if the discussions have any relation and/or for their input: Montanabw and SMcCandlish.

  • Delete Unless monotypic, species articles of extant organisms shouldn't be redirected to their genus page. The only exception I know that does this is WP:WikiProject Palaeontology, and it's done deliberately because the creation of species articles are discouraged. While I agree that this doesn't really bar the creation of articles, I do believe it makes it problematic for editors to make new articles. New editors might not know how to access the redirect page, for example. And more experienced editors might not realize they don't have articles yet because the links will show up blue all the time. Making sure that people are aware of WP:REDLINKS is a very important mechanism in encouraging the creation of new articles.--  OBSIDIAN SOUL 04:39, 22 January 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Yes, where applicable. Now that I realize some of them are critically endangered/endangered, I think it's even more vital that they be separated. Even if only for more individualized range maps which can not be represented in the genus page. Lumping together very similar species might work in some cases where there are only a few members of the genus and additional expansions can be accommodated within one article, thus avoiding a situation where some redirects are recursive but others aren't. However in this case, Engaeus has 35. --  OBSIDIAN SOUL 12:44, 23 January 2017 (UTC) reply
Note to closer: Let me know and I'll do the tedious work on the above or whatever choice you make. Thanks,   SchreiberBike | ⌨  19:08, 26 January 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Agree, by which I mean with SchreiberBike's preceding comment/enhanced proposal. That is, restore those stubs which were redirected, "un-redirect" remaining species (to red-link), and redirect common names to restored stubs where possible. This is not at all an area of expertise for me, but I do some editing on plants. I feel the same when it comes to species: that they are inherently notable, per SMcCandlish above. And that threatened species are especially worthy of documentation, per Obsidian Soul above. There's considerable endemism to Tasmania also (if that term can apply to crustaceans). Granted, the old stubs are minimal, as all Polbot stubs were initially. But on a quick search just now for books covering Engaeus, I came across A Guide to Australia's Spiny Freshwater Crayfish, McCormack; Crustacea: Malacostraca : Phyllocardia, Hoplocardia, Eucarida; and Biology and Ecology of Crayfish, Longshaw & Stebbing. I think there's room for stub expansion in many cases. And better a red-link than a blue-link when article creation is hoped for. A bit long-winded but thanks Declangi ( talk) 06:49, 25 January 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Redirects from species to genera are usually unhelpful, as they imply to editors that articles on these species exist, when they don't. They also create circular links when lists of species are included in genus articles, as is normal. So most should be got rid of: delete in most cases; restore stub where these existed. The only species redirects should be for monotypic taxa and for extinct species where there are no wikilinks in the target article. Peter coxhead ( talk) 09:59, 30 January 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Engaeus affinis, Engaeus karnanga, Engaeus laevis, Engaeus victoriensis, Engaeus yabbimunna; I believe these are all the scientific names that were created as redirects and which never existed as stubs. Keep the rest, pending SchrieberBike's offer to do the dirty work restoring the articles, dealing with common name redirects (and don't forget unredirecting talk pages). Redirects from (living) species to genera are quite rare on Wikipedia, and thus very unhelpful as the general assumption is that a blue linked species has it's own article. However, I'm also not a fan of creating substub articles for species which carry no more information than could be presented within a species list in a genus article. Everything that was in the Engaeus stubs turned into redirects can be found in the Engaeus article. Better a red link species than a substub redundant to the genus, IMHO. But better a substub than a redirect to the genus if the link is already going to be blue. Plantdrew ( talk) 04:24, 1 February 2017 (UTC) reply
@ SchreiberBike: Are you willing to create (sub)stubs for the five species that have no history as independent articles? If so, I'm happy to keep all. Plantdrew ( talk) 04:24, 1 February 2017 (UTC) reply
There appears to be enough material at http://www.iucnredlist.org/ to make stubs for those five. I don't write much, but I think I can do that. Effectively I guess I'm saying I withdraw my original proposal to delete and if there's no objection, will begin creating or restoring articles and fixing redirects (and talk pages).   SchreiberBike | ⌨  04:49, 1 February 2017 (UTC) reply

    • It's not a synonym for the article though, it's an unusually long disambiguator that may help people find the article via search engines if they use these search terms (e.g. Louis Raymond garden writer) as "horticulturalist" (a word my spellcheck doesn't recognise) isn't necessarily going to be one everybody knows or associates with him. Above all I don't see what harm it is doing. Thryduulf ( talk) 02:13, 22 January 2017 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was procedural keep, Thryduulf is correct. I'd also recommend discussing the categories with the redirect's creator. -- Tavix ( talk) 14:06, 30 January 2017 (UTC) reply

Does this redirect genuinely need all these categories? I know all those countries have signed up but there must be a more economical way of doing this? —  Iadmc talk  19:19, 21 January 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Comment If you are not proposing that the redirect be deleted, retargetted or disambiguated then this is the wrong forum. You need to discuss this on the redirect's talk page (advertise the discussion on the target talk page and to relevant Wikiproject(s)) or at a WikiProject talk page if there are multiple similar pages.

Not clear how this name is explicitly related to the film - doesn't appear to be a name the film is marketed under, and additionally could refer to extraordinary events outside of the context of this one film. Would be better either as a disambiguation page or deleted entirely. Mike1901 ( talk) 11:34, 14 January 2017 (UTC) reply

This logo for a "105.7 The Oasis" station was incorrectly placed on the article for KPKK and uploaded at this name when KPKK was never on 105.7. I've moved it to a more descriptive title — the redirect doesn't need to remain. Raymie ( tc) 02:51, 21 January 2017 (UTC) reply
