Delete per various WP:HOCKEY precedents that these redirects are WP:XY. See Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 September 3#More NHL draft picks for details. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 21:43, 31 January 2017 (UTC) reply

• Delete All: Completely aside from these being implausible redirects, the subjects all being obscure journeymen minor-league and amateur players, this is absolutely an XY deal. Let's take McKenzie, for example: what makes his playing for a team in the 2010 Memorial Cup a more likely redirect target than, say, the team for which he was playing, or any of the nine other amateur and professional teams for which he has played to date? These redirects are all the creation of an editor who was community banned from new redirects after creating hundreds like this to plump up his article creation count.

Outdoor treat refers to a video game and this redirect is the result of a page move in 2015. The redirect is too vague in my opinion and would be difficult to find similar articles with the name. st 170 e 19:57, 13 January 2017 (UTC) reply

@ St170e: What similar articles did you have in mind? -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 20:25, 13 January 2017 (UTC) reply

There's Retreat (spiritual), but those aren't always outdoors, and it seems like there must be secular versions of this too. I see the nominator's point that this could WP:SURPRISE, but what else is there to consider within Wikipedia? The title-case capitalization is a point in favor of the status quo too. -- BDD ( talk) 22:01, 13 January 2017 (UTC) reply

An outdoor retreat would be suited more to a dictionary definition. Outdoor retreats are synonymous with Retreat (spiritual) as BDD has pointed out. I am seeing the benefits of sticking with the status quo and a hatnote to the Retreat article too, though. st 170 e 23:59, 13 January 2017 (UTC) reply

Delete – I'm not sure what this could be but at the moment it is the definition of WP:SURPRISE. Laurdecl ^talk 06:51, 14 January 2017 (UTC) reply

Delete - I am the user who initially suggested this redirect's deletion to "st170e". As stated, the redirect is overly vague, and additionally it is highly unlikely that it would be the target of any links outside of Wikipedia. Of all the expansion packs for The Sims 4 which have their own articles, this is the only one which has a redirect for its name without the "The Sims 4" title. An earlier request that I made to have the other expansion packs for The Sims 4 have similar redirects created for them, which I made based on the existence of this redirect, was declined by "st170e", so for the sake of consistency I feel that if all the pages cannot have redirects for the shortened version of their names due to vagueness, none of them should have one. 114.75.78.136 ( talk) 13:30, 14 January 2017 (UTC) reply

In this case, may I ask what your opinion is regarding the creation of similar redirects for other expansion packs, e.g., The Sims 4: Get to Work, The Sims 4: Dine Out, etc.? 114.75.78.136 ( talk) 15:09, 14 January 2017 (UTC) reply

They'd have to be considered on a case-by-case basis. From a cursory search, Get to Work seems fine to create. Nothing else jumped out to me in terms of competing usage. Dine Out might be a different story. My Google search did show a lot of Sims related hits, but it's also a common enough phrase. Perhaps it's fine to create with a hatnote to Dining in (unless I'm missing a more appropriate article). As an aside, simply saying WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST isn't a reason to delete this redirect. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 15:19, 14 January 2017 (UTC) reply

There are no competing uses for this term that have an article, and while I can forsee there maybe being an article on the concept of places of peacefulness, holidaying or moving away from the city type uses (see also Escape to the Country) but they won't be at this title and will be listed on the disambiguation page.

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 no consensus. ( non-admin closure) - There are two crucial questions here, the first of which is whether the John Lennon song is the primary topic for Imagine (song). The view that it is the primary topic was implicit in the previous RM discussion, but it was challenged in the subsequent RfD, apparently without reaching consensus, and it was rehashed again now, backed up with what I see as strong arguments.

However, the second crucial question is what is to be done if it is the primary topic. One view, grounded in the general practice behind WP:PRECISE and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, is that Imagine (John Lennon song) would need to be moved to Imagine (song). There is no consensus for such a move now and one will have to be established by an RM. The opposing view, which seems to be allowed for at WP:DABSONG as an exception, is that the John Lennon song will keep its overprecise title and Imagine (song) will redirect to it. At present, there is no consensus for such an outcome either.

What is the way forward? Clearly, an RM would be warranted (although I don't see consensus that one should be procedurally started). A second RfD discussion would be warranted too, but in order for it to overcome the challenges to it legitimacy (which were behind the current "speedy close/send to RM" !votes), it will need to reach at least as wide an audience as the hypothetical RM. That would minimally be achieved by a notice on the talk page of Imagine (John Lennon song), but I would also recommend advertising it more broadly - to relevant wikiprojects and/or on the talk page of WP:NCM. – Uanfala (talk) 03:18, 8 February 2017 (UTC) reply

• Imagine (song) → Imagine  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

Imagine (John Lennon song) satisfies WP:PRIMARYTOPIC criteria overwhelmingly, just as Revolver (album) does for the Beatles album Revolver (Beatles album). Imagine (Tone Damli song) is only a stub article in complete contrast with the WP:FA status of Imagine (John Lennon song) (so I presume WP:NCMDAB gives us some leeway here). The Lennon song is widely regarded as among the greatest songs of the 70s and beyond; its long-term significance cannot be in doubt. Most people searching for Imagine (song) are looking for the Lennon classic. Case-in-point? Take pageviews, where Lennon absolutely swamps the other artist. There is very definitely, a primary topic at hand here. Note also that Imagine (album) redirects to Imagine (John Lennon album). -- Nevé – selbert 00:05, 12 January 2017 (UTC) reply

• The John Lennon song is obviously the primary topic. The Lennon song "has substantially greater enduring notability and educational value than any other topic associated with that term" (quoted from WP:PRIMARYTOPIC). For those reasons, I am in strong support of retargetting this to Imagine (John Lennon song) and adding a hatnote at that article to Imagine. -- Notecardforfree ( talk) 03:10, 12 January 2017 (UTC) reply
• Send to RM This seems more like a requested move discussion. The John Lennon song was originally at this title, moved to (John Lennon song) in 2015 and then, shortly afterwards, the resulting redirect pointed to the disambiguation page. If we're redirecting (song) to (John Lennon song) then the article really should just be at (song) in the first place. That would need a requested move to reverse the previous one. Thryduulf ( talk) 12:12, 12 January 2017 (UTC) reply

  @ Thryduulf and Izno: No, this is not a move request. This is to decide whether the redirect Imagine (song) should redirect to Imagine (John Lennon song) or Imagine#Songs. This has nothing to do with the title of any articles. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 15:08, 12 January 2017 (UTC) reply

  @ Tavix: I disagree. If "Imagine (song)" redirects to "Imagine (John Lennon song)" then the article is the primary topic for "Imagine (song)" and so should be at that title (per WP:PRECISE, and probably other disambiguation policies/guidelines). If it isn't the primary topic for "Imagine (song)" then things should stay as they are. Given the current set-up is the result of an RM consensus it requires an RM consensus to reverse.

  I cannot see why such a move is necessary at this juncture. The courteous thing to do would have been to open a requested move at Talk:Imagine (John Lennon album), something you did not do. It's also somewhat undermining the rationale I gave here, and I find it extraordinary that you think the action you performed was non-controversial.-- Nevé – selbert 23:29, 12 January 2017 (UTC) reply

  It was reverting an undiscussed move. I will apologize for apparently misreading your nomination statement, however; I thought the implication behind "Note also that Imagine (album) redirects to Imagine (John Lennon album)" was that that was a situation that needed rectifying. Indeed, the status quo flies in the face of WP:PRECISE, WP:D, and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, but what's a few broken policies and guidelines between friends? -- BDD ( talk) 14:35, 13 January 2017 (UTC) reply

• Keep (and disagree with moving the article). Primary topics are often shaky. When in doubt, put the article at a name that is sufficiently disambiguated from all other Wikipedia articles. When in doubt, disambiguate rather than point to most prominent topic. Deryck C. 22:32, 28 January 2017 (UTC) reply

• Speedily close and send to RM. This isn't just out-of-scope for RfC, it's shopping/rehash of previous RMs and against Wikipedia:Naming conventions (music). I would expect the RM to be speedily closed as well, honestly. Imagine (John Lennon song) is regularly cited against attempts to move song articles to be alleged PRIMARY topics on the basis of being in the charts this month. RfD doesn't exist to go for end-runs around RM precedent and NC guidelines.  —  SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  22:56, 31 January 2017 (UTC) reply

Netherlands also mentions a registration, although it's done automatically: to this day, every male and female citizen aged 17 gets a letter in which he is told that he has been registered but does not have to present himself for service. -- Tavix ^{( talk)} 19:59, 31 January 2017 (UTC) reply

• • @ BDD: I have create the article Registering for the draft in China.-- !Panzerkampfwagen! ( talk) 16:44, 1 February 2017 (UTC) reply

!Panzerkampfwagen! can you rename that to Conscription in China as with the other articles? Also there's a section on the Conscription page for China so that's ready for the hatnote. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 17:52, 1 February 2017 (UTC) reply

Great, Panzerkampfwagen! I think I agree with AngusWOOF's suggestion. Draft registration is a subtopic of conscription generally. This will make a good start for a standalone article on conscription in China. -- BDD ( talk) 18:15, 1 February 2017 (UTC) reply

• Wall of meat → Bikers for Trump  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

A random phrase that an editor happens to like isn't an appropriate basis for a redirect. Dr. Fleischman ( talk) 00:47, 31 January 2017 (UTC) reply

• weak keep. The phrase seems to have garnered significant news coverage and is mentioned in the article. I have my doubts that the target group is notable (and the existence of a notability tag means I'm not alone) but while the article exists this redirect seems not inappropriate. If the target is deleted this will be speedy deleted per WP:CSD#G8. Thryduulf ( talk) 01:26, 31 January 2017 (UTC) reply
• delete (was weak keep) I get DrFleischman's point, and I only made the redirect because I thought some readers might search for the phrase - and be happy to find that it referred to the pro-Trump biker group. But maybe it only mattered for the few days before and after the inauguration? In the old days I often would create a page and promptly move it - leaving a redirect - because my primary motivation was to help readers find the articles they're looking for. -- Uncle Ed ( talk) 02:55, 31 January 2017 (UTC) reply

A whopping pageview total of 8 over the inauguration--yes, 8--shows that readers aren't being aided by this redirect. -- Dr. Fleischman ( talk) 03:05, 31 January 2017 (UTC) reply

Actually that shows that human readers were helped 8 times in 28 days. I see no good reasons to make it harder for people to find the content they are obviously looking for. Thryduulf ( talk) 13:48, 31 January 2017 (UTC) reply

• Keep as-is; the phrase is specific and specific to this Bikers for Trump thing, which did not propose a human shield to prevent armed assault, but a vigilante version of a riot-police line to blockade protesters.  —  SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  22:51, 31 January 2017 (UTC) reply
• Delete Not mentioned at the target page, so unlikely to leave readers any more informed than they already were, and likely to leave them confused. On a more subjective measure, I follow American politics pretty obsessively and haven't heard the phrase, which makes me think it's an unlikely search term. -- BDD ( talk) 16:25, 8 February 2017 (UTC) reply
