The phrase is not exclusive to its target in the least, but there seems to not be a more proper retargeting option for this redirect either. Steel1943 ( talk) 23:09, 31 December 2018 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was retarget to Stereotype. Thryduulf ( talk) 23:58, 11 January 2019 (UTC) reply

The redirect does not answer the question "Other than what cultures?" and is thus vague. Also, Negative stereotype is a redirect to Stereotype, meaning that the title of this redirect basically assumes that all "other" stereotypes are "ethnic", which is not true in all contexts.

The result of the discussion was keep. ~ Amory ( utc) 16:39, 10 January 2019 (UTC) reply

The target is specific to an incident with USS Vincennes (CG-49). This redirect could ambiguously refer to any incident that has happened in Vincennes or and subject on Vincennes (disambiguation). A related properly precise redirect, USS Vincennes Incident, exists and also targets the same target. Steel1943 ( talk) 22:09, 31 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Reliable sources (such as here and here; many others) disagree with you; this is a synonym for the target unlike the spurious example you give. UnitedStatesian ( talk) 02:09, 6 January 2019 (UTC) reply

This redirect was an article that was redirected to its current target as a result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kathleen and the Other Three. However, in the article’s current state, this redirect is not mentioned in the target article. It seems that a song from the subject of this redirect, ”Kathleen", is mentioned a few times, but not the subject of the redirect. Steel1943 ( talk) 20:56, 31 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Mentioned in the references section as a title of a reference, but not mentioned in the content of the article. For this reason, the connection between the redirect and the subject of the article is unclear, and there is a possibility that readers who look up this term are looking for the referenced source and not the target article.

The result of the discussion was delete. -- BDD ( talk) 21:20, 7 January 2019 (UTC) reply

The disambiguator “(other rap group)” is vague due to the use of the word “other”. It assumes that all readers know that the subject currently at Gravediggaz is the other from this other. Steel1943 ( talk) 20:25, 31 December 2018 (UTC) reply

WP:FORRED. Target does not have affinity with the Italian language. (I originally was going to put all of foreign language redirects to United States together in one nomination. However, I then found discussions such as Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 September 4#États-Unis d'Amérique and Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 November 18#Verenigde State van Amerika, so instead I’m listing them each individually by language to the best of my ability.)

Based on page views, it's a WP:NOPRIMARY situation between Family Game Night (TV series) and Hasbro Family Game Night. Therefore, Family Game Night and Family Game Night (TV series) should be swapped, with the TV series article residing at the base title. Then a hatnote to Hasbro Family Game Night can be added to the TV series article. -- IJBall ( contribstalk) 18:37, 8 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Choppy scene doesn't really have anything to do with the article for film director, and it probably isn't even a topic that has encyclopedic value.

Baruch Hashem

The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) feminist ( talk) 06:03, 7 January 2019 (UTC) reply

This redirect should be deleted as Baruch Hashem is not an alternate phrase for Besiyata Dishmaya. They mean completely different things. Puzzledvegetable ( talk) 17:34, 7 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Keep Although indeed the translations are different, Baruch HaShem (correct capitalization per WP:HEBREW) means "Praise be to God" and BeSiyata DiShmaya (correct capitalization strikes again) means "With the help of Heaven", but the usage is the same: both are used at the beginning of letters written by religious Jews to express their thankfulness to God. Debresser ( talk) 19:53, 8 December 2018 (UTC) reply
I hear these expressions used often in my community, and in my personal experience, they are not at all used in the same way. “Baruch Hashem” is used after remarking about a good event. Example: “I thought I was going to miss the bus, but I managed to catch it, Baruch HaShem.” Besiyata Dishmaya on the the other hand, is used when expressing hope that something will happen. Example: “We will begin this project now, and hopefully have it done by next week, Besiyata Dishmaya.” Puzzledvegetable ( talk) 23:10, 8 December 2018 (UTC) reply
That is another usage of Baruch HaShem. The one I mentioned is the well-known writing of 'B"H' at the beginning of a letter. Not the same thing. Debresser ( talk) 22:49, 9 December 2018 (UTC) reply
I don't doubt what you are saying, but I personally have never seen B"H used in that way. Regardless, however, they still mean different things and aren't the same thing just because they can both be used in a similar situation. Puzzledvegetable ( talk) 14:21, 10 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Template:R with possibilties

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. It may make sense to discuss some of these individually, regarding how likely a particular error is, though I'd recommend a cooling-off period first. There is certainly not consensus to remove typos in template-namespace redirects wholesale. -- BDD ( talk) 22:03, 11 January 2019 (UTC) reply

Delete. Not a good idea to support typographical errors in the maintenance template space. UnitedStatesian ( talk) 00:18, 21 December 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per nom. If people took the idea of creating these seriously, we'd have tens of thousands of redirects no one needs. Having these around also makes maintenance more difficult.  —  SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  00:41, 21 December 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep all. Template:R with possibilties, which I created nearly four years ago because either I or another editor actually had used that spelling to call the template, can be considered a common misspelling. I've created many redirects in several namespaces for that reason, and they can all be considered to be common misspellings. These redirects certainly do no harm as cited by those who've used WP:COSTLY, and, in my humble opinion, they serve an important purpose for those readers who search on Wikipedia. Paine Ellsworth, ed.   put'r there   00:46, 21 December 2018 (UTC) 22:00, 31 December 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per WP:COSTLY, it takes just as much time to fix such a typo as it does to create such a redirect, keeping these would simply encourage the creation of similar redirects. - CHAMPION ( talk) ( contributions) ( logs) 06:46, 21 December 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete but consider {{ R possible}} if you really want some more useful alias for that AngusWOOF ( barksniff) 18:51, 21 December 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep 4 and 5, with no comment on the others. "Seperate" is always a plausible mistake for "separate" (and {{ Separate article}} is a working redirect to the "Seperate" title's target), and I've seen "reasearch" far more times than I can count. Someone demonstrated that my creation of {{ relfist}} was problematic, since bots look for the existence of {{ reflist}} and add it when neither it nor other reference-placement code is present; however, these templates aren't being added by bots, and I can't envision a situation in which they're significantly problematic. Template-dating bots already know how to convert redirects to current names; I've often seen {{ cn}} or {{ fact}} get bot-converted to {{ citation needed}}, for example.

The result of the discussion was Keep Sappington, Montana and Trident, Montana, delete the rest. The keep on those two is might as well be on the No Consensus side of things, but all the delete !votes specifically call out "not mentioned" and, as Steel1943 points out, those two are indeed now (trivially) mentioned. I'll be focusing them to the specific section. ~ Amory ( utc) 16:47, 10 January 2019 (UTC) reply

None of these places are mentioned at the target article. Most, if not all, of these should be presumed notable and should be deleted per WP:REDLINK to encourage creation of proper articles on these places. -- Tavix ( talk) 19:44, 20 December 2018 (UTC) reply

List of nontheists

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. After two relistings failed to bring any new opinions, I think it's safe to say that everyone who cares has opined and that there is no consensus among them. Thryduulf ( talk) 00:04, 12 January 2019 (UTC) reply

Nontheism is not exclusive to Atheism, meaning that the scope as defined by these redirects is broader than the scope of their target articles. Steel1943 ( talk) 17:43, 12 December 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Keep all. I appreciate the logic of the nomination rationale, but readers looking for these lists may start by looking for the redirect name, which is in effect a redirect from an alternative name, even if that goes against the actual definition of nontheism. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 21:33, 12 December 2018 (UTC) reply
    • ...Considering that Atheism and Nontheism are two separate articles, these redirects also have an WP:XY issue unless the scope of the target pages are updated. That, and per the definition we have for Nontheism, not all nontheists are atheists, which leaves all of these redirects telling our readers the opposite (all nontheists are atheists), which is wrong. Steel1943 ( talk) 22:31, 12 December 2018 (UTC) reply
      • I don't feel very strongly about the other related redirect discussions on this page, but here I think there is really a serious argument against deletion. It's fine to say that nontheism is not atheism, which is true, but saying it does not make all notable persons obey what Wikipedia tells them to do. There are notable persons who self-describe in all manner of idiosyncratic ways, and our policies regarding fidelity to source material should take precedence over redirection guidelines. It's not like page subjects obediently segregate themselves according to our definitions, and we have to go by what the sources about those persons say. I don't feel too strongly about the other nominations, about "atheists, agnostics, and nontheists", because those lengthy redirect titles are not all that useful as search terms. But it's entirely realistic to expect some readers to come to Wikipedia, and search using the term "nontheism" or "nontheist", and it's better to redirect them to the atheism pages than to present them with an empty search result. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 23:07, 12 December 2018 (UTC) reply
        • Your comment sounds more like rationale to nominate Nontheism or Atheism for WP:AFD (not really sure which one), but then the result being to either merge or redirect the nominated page to the other. The reason I say that is that if the lines of distinguishing the subjects really are that blurry, they should be at/in the same article. However, at the present time, they are not, which leaves these redirects in a state that is similar to redirecting Number to 10 (an example of a higher-level topic redirecting to a lower-level topic, which is not the case in this hypothetical scenario and doesn’t happen that often in practice since the redirect in this hypothetical case would essentially be eligible for deletion per WP:REDLINK since there would be huge potential for an article to cover the subject “ Number”.)

          • No matter what it sounds like, I guess I'm coming from a place of wanting to make things accessible to our readers, as opposed to following a rigid set of "rules". I think some of the ideas below about disambiguation and lists of lists sound very promising, although I don't think they can be decided entirely here. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 19:04, 13 December 2018 (UTC) reply
            • I share a similar goal of wanting to ensure that our readers are able to locate what they are looking for when they request it. Quite frankly, it’s been my primary goal during the almost half-a-decade I’ve been actively editing. It's just in this case (as it stands), it’s somewhat misleading and could confuse some due to the target not containing all the information that the redirects are basically telling they will find when they look up these terms. (IMO regarding the "rule" comment: In most cases, I’ve found that "guidelines" [and sometimes "essays"] are created based on what the community has found to be consensus on a regular basis, but again, that’s just my opinion since I’ve also found sometimes that a guideline or essay doesn’t apply to all cases, and then I WP:IAR for the better of our readers if I believe that my action will have next-to-no chance of being challenged.) But yes, the list idea below is something I think will help readers find what they are looking for since it will give them options of what they are intending to locate when they look up the ambiguous terms (but specifically only the first two redirects in this nomination.)

Considering that agnostics and nontheists are not part of the target lists/subjects (the target lists are exclusive to atheists), these redirects are misleading in the spirit of WP:XY.

Despite the nominator's statement, zh:河南話 shows that "Henan dialect" (a reasonably direct translation of "河南話") refers to a geographically defined dialect subgroup of Central Plains Mandarin. The fact that some areas of Henan speak Jin Chinese rather than Central Plains Mandarin does not stop the Central Plains dialect from being primary topic.

This redirect should be deleted as Baruch Hashem is not an alternate phrase for Besiyata Dishmaya. They mean completely different things. Puzzledvegetable ( talk) 17:34, 7 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Keep Although indeed the translations are different, Baruch HaShem (correct capitalization per WP:HEBREW) means "Praise be to God" and BeSiyata DiShmaya (correct capitalization strikes again) means "With the help of Heaven", but the usage is the same: both are used at the beginning of letters written by religious Jews to express their thankfulness to God. Debresser ( talk) 19:53, 8 December 2018 (UTC) reply
I hear these expressions used often in my community, and in my personal experience, they are not at all used in the same way. “Baruch Hashem” is used after remarking about a good event. Example: “I thought I was going to miss the bus, but I managed to catch it, Baruch HaShem.” Besiyata Dishmaya on the the other hand, is used when expressing hope that something will happen.

That is another usage of Baruch HaShem. The one I mentioned is the well-known writing of 'B"H' at the beginning of a letter. Not the same thing. Debresser ( talk) 22:49, 9 December 2018 (UTC) reply
I don't doubt what you are saying, but I personally have never seen B"H used in that way. Regardless, however, they still mean different things and aren't the same thing just because they can both be used in a similar situation. Puzzledvegetable ( talk) 14:21, 10 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Template:R with possibilties

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. It may make sense to discuss some of these individually, regarding how likely a particular error is, though I'd recommend a cooling-off period first. There is certainly not consensus to remove typos in template-namespace redirects wholesale. -- BDD ( talk) 22:03, 11 January 2019 (UTC) reply

Delete. Not a good idea to support typographical errors in the maintenance template space. UnitedStatesian ( talk) 00:18, 21 December 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per nom. If people took the idea of creating these seriously, we'd have tens of thousands of redirects no one needs. Having these around also makes maintenance more difficult.  —  SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  00:41, 21 December 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep all. Template:R with possibilties, which I created nearly four years ago because either I or another editor actually had used that spelling to call the template, can be considered a common misspelling. I've created many redirects in several namespaces for that reason, and they can all be considered to be common misspellings. These redirects certainly do no harm as cited by those who've used WP:COSTLY, and, in my humble opinion, they serve an important purpose for those readers who search on Wikipedia.

  • Delete per WP:COSTLY, it takes just as much time to fix such a typo as it does to create such a redirect, keeping these would simply encourage the creation of similar redirects. - CHAMPION ( talk) ( contributions) ( logs) 06:46, 21 December 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete but consider {{ R possible}} if you really want some more useful alias for that AngusWOOF ( barksniff) 18:51, 21 December 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep 4 and 5, with no comment on the others. "Seperate" is always a plausible mistake for "separate" (and {{ Separate article}} is a working redirect to the "Seperate" title's target), and I've seen "reasearch" far more times than I can count. Someone demonstrated that my creation of {{ relfist}} was problematic, since bots look for the existence of {{ reflist}} and add it when neither it nor other reference-placement code is present; however, these templates aren't being added by bots, and I can't envision a situation in which they're significantly problematic. Template-dating bots already know how to convert redirects to current names; I've often seen {{ cn}} or {{ fact}} get bot-converted to {{ citation needed}}, for example.

Redirects without mention to Gallatin County, Montana

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 Keep Sappington, Montana and Trident, Montana, delete the rest. The keep on those two is might as well be on the No Consensus side of things, but all the delete !votes specifically call out "not mentioned" and, as Steel1943 points out, those two are indeed now (trivially) mentioned. I'll be focusing them to the specific section. ~ Amory ( utc) 16:47, 10 January 2019 (UTC) reply

None of these places are mentioned at the target article. Most, if not all, of these should be presumed notable and should be deleted per WP:REDLINK to encourage creation of proper articles on these places. -- Tavix ( talk) 19:44, 20 December 2018 (UTC) reply

List of nontheists

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. After two relistings failed to bring any new opinions, I think it's safe to say that everyone who cares has opined and that there is no consensus among them. Thryduulf ( talk) 00:04, 12 January 2019 (UTC) reply

Nontheism is not exclusive to Atheism, meaning that the scope as defined by these redirects is broader than the scope of their target articles. Steel1943 ( talk) 17:43, 12 December 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Keep all. I appreciate the logic of the nomination rationale, but readers looking for these lists may start by looking for the redirect name, which is in effect a redirect from an alternative name, even if that goes against the actual definition of nontheism. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 21:33, 12 December 2018 (UTC) reply
    • ...Considering that Atheism and Nontheism are two separate articles, these redirects also have an WP:XY issue unless the scope of the target pages are updated. That, and per the definition we have for Nontheism, not all nontheists are atheists, which leaves all of these redirects telling our readers the opposite (all nontheists are atheists), which is wrong. Steel1943 ( talk) 22:31, 12 December 2018 (UTC) reply
      • I don't feel very strongly about the other related redirect discussions on this page, but here I think there is really a serious argument against deletion. It's fine to say that nontheism is not atheism, which is true, but saying it does not make all notable persons obey what Wikipedia tells them to do. There are notable persons who self-describe in all manner of idiosyncratic ways, and our policies regarding fidelity to source material should take precedence over redirection guidelines. It's not like page subjects obediently segregate themselves according to our definitions, and we have to go by what the sources about those persons say. I don't feel too strongly about the other nominations, about "atheists, agnostics, and nontheists", because those lengthy redirect titles are not all that useful as search terms. But it's entirely realistic to expect some readers to come to Wikipedia, and search using the term "nontheism" or "nontheist", and it's better to redirect them to the atheism pages than to present them with an empty search result. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 23:07, 12 December 2018 (UTC) reply
        • Your comment sounds more like rationale to nominate Nontheism or Atheism for WP:AFD (not really sure which one), but then the result being to either merge or redirect the nominated page to the other. The reason I say that is that if the lines of distinguishing the subjects really are that blurry, they should be at/in the same article. However, at the present time, they are not, which leaves these redirects in a state that is similar to redirecting Number to 10 (an example of a higher-level topic redirecting to a lower-level topic, which is not the case in this hypothetical scenario and doesn’t happen that often in practice since the redirect in this hypothetical case would essentially be eligible for deletion per WP:REDLINK since there would be huge potential for an article to cover the subject “ Number”.) Steel1943 ( talk) 02:34, 13 December 2018 (UTC) reply
          • No matter what it sounds like, I guess I'm coming from a place of wanting to make things accessible to our readers, as opposed to following a rigid set of "rules". I think some of the ideas below about disambiguation and lists of lists sound very promising, although I don't think they can be decided entirely here. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 19:04, 13 December 2018 (UTC) reply
            • I share a similar goal of wanting to ensure that our readers are able to locate what they are looking for when they request it. Quite frankly, it’s been my primary goal during the almost half-a-decade I’ve been actively editing. It's just in this case (as it stands), it’s somewhat misleading and could confuse some due to the target not containing all the information that the redirects are basically telling they will find when they look up these terms. (IMO regarding the "rule" comment: In most cases, I’ve found that "guidelines" [and sometimes "essays"] are created based on what the community has found to be consensus on a regular basis, but again, that’s just my opinion since I’ve also found sometimes that a guideline or essay doesn’t apply to all cases, and then I WP:IAR for the better of our readers if I believe that my action will have next-to-no chance of being challenged.) But yes, the list idea below is something I think will help readers find what they are looking for since it will give them options of what they are intending to locate when they look up the ambiguous terms (but specifically only the first two redirects in this nomination.)

Considering that agnostics and nontheists are not part of the target lists/subjects (the target lists are exclusive to atheists), these redirects are misleading in the spirit of WP:XY.

The Central Plains Mandarin is a Chinese dialect widely distributed in north central China, not unique to Henan, and Henan also distributes some non-Central Plains Mandarin Chinese dialects such as Jin Chinese.

  • Keep. Despite the nominator's statement, zh:河南話 shows that "Henan dialect" (a reasonably direct translation of "河南話") refers to a geographically defined dialect subgroup of Central Plains Mandarin. The fact that some areas of Henan speak Jin Chinese rather than Central Plains Mandarin does not stop the Central Plains dialect from being primary topic.
