But Wilkesboro is really small.

Along the same lines as Square pizza, except even more vague.

- Retarget to Totino's as a {{ R from product}} per AngusWOOF. Steel1943 ( talk) 17:19, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- As I said earlier, party pizza is also a synonym for Italian tomato pie, so delete. - Apocheir ( talk) 23:21, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- I also support a retarget over to ' Totino's' as the specific product term seems more notable than the alternative name use for the tomato pies. I wouldn't object at all to a hat-note or something else expanding the targeted page. CoffeeWithMarkets ( talk) 09:34, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

This redirect formerly targeted Mario Storyline. In its present state, the redirect is unclear what it refers to. Does it refer to the timeline of Mario's appearance in video games? Does it refer to Mario's character's story timeline? It's too vague to be helpful. Steel1943 ( talk) 16:38, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete Too vague to be useful. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 19:05, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

- Retarget to List of video games featuring Mario. Mario doesn't have a character timeline, except maybe Baby Mario. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 17:40, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

- Retarget as proposed - The Mario franchise doesn't really have enough continuity to sustain a "proper" timeline. I suppose we could have one for the RPGs and Paper Mario, but even that seems like a stretch. On the other hand, "Mario timeline" could also mean "a history of the Mario franchise," which the retarget would provide. -- N Y Kevin 06:16, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Redirect pointing to a dab page, where there is no link to a real article. Onel5969 TT me 12:39, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment - 'Audio disambiguation' in the sense of trying to parse out separate elements from a blended sound as well as determine the proximate location of a sound is a topic discussed by reliable sources (see
here for a printed example) that might merit its own page. At the same time, though, maybe it's already discussed in some article that we have now on A/V technology?

- Delete. For one, I don't see any precedence to use this disambiguator. For two, seems like some sort of topic that qualifies for WP:REDLINK per CoffeeWithMarkets' comment. And for three, as much as I disagree with the following statement (though I see it being plausible), I would expect any audio-related redirects to target a page in the "File:" or "TimedText:" namespaces.

- Comment @ Ywwuyi: shouldn't there be a reason for nominating this redirect as per WP:RFD#HOWTO? It look like a clear R3 to me no mention of this in the article and when a search is carried out with this name it throws up "We are a satirical PC hardware community dedicated to proving that AMD is clearly the better choice". Domdeparis ( talk) 09:52, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete Template probably ate the nominator's rationale, but in any case this is not mentioned at the target article, so it's unhelpful to readers. The few dozen Google News hits appear to be cases where people mentioned it in the comments section, with no actual WP:RS coverage. 59.149.124.29 ( talk) 03:34, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was keep. Well this is exciting! Basically, I think Zxcvbnm has it right: this is useful, and the only such incident. Should the islands receive another missile alert this would be a good dab page, but thankfully that is not yet needed. It is not up to us to optimize Google's algorithm for them, and we need not care too deeply about how readers get to the page they want as long as they get there smoothly. It's a good example of what redirects are for — Wikipedia standards may result in the current title, readers will find it useful; Although not mentioned below, I'll note that since the rename the redirect still gets dozens of page hits a day. The public safety argument is interesting, to say the least, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an arm of any given public policy institution. The redirect is useful, so we keep it. I take full responsibility for any loss of life should any cataclysm occur. ~ Amory ( u • t • c) 16:38, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- Hawaii missile alert → 2018 Hawaii false missile alert ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
delete the direct- misleading redirect source to target. God forbids if there is a real missile alert. The article was created at Hawaii missile alert in a rush and consensus reached that the old article name is misleading SYSS Mouse ( talk) 02:37, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep There having been no other missile alerts in Hawaii, real or otherwise, it is still a pertinent redirect. I don't see how it's confusing. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 03:30, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- Mild Delete I don't consider it confusing, but if the page remains then Google's machine learning algorithms will presumably consider it an additional hint that the first hit for 'Hawaii missile alert' searches should be '2018 Hawaii false missile alert', and we can't NOINDEX pages in article space (presumably including redirects). I feel like the odds are 100:1 it won't create a problem even if there is a future actual missile strike, but better safe than sorry. Rolf H Nelson ( talk) 03:42, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- As a counter-example the tsunami alert redirect doesn't show up for me on page 1 of Google and is only the 6th hit on Bing. I really think it's easier to just delete Hawaii missile alert though than to try to somehow prove that wouldn't ever be a problem. Rolf H Nelson ( talk) 05:01, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- Cant's say I've ever seen a public safety exception invoked in an RfD. But as they say on Law & Order: "It's a novel argument, but I'll allow it." That said, I think this would all hinge, then, on whether Rolf's concern is 10:1 or 100:1 or 1,000,000:1. Question: Does Google have any ambassadors here on Wikipedia who we could poke? I know the WMF has some business dealings with them, at the very least. — PinkAmpers & (Je vous invite à me parler) 11:22, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep: All Wikipedia pages use <link rel="canonical"> to canonicalize URLs. Once Google re-indexes the page (after this discussion is closed and the redirect starts working again), Google will know that the canonical title of this page is "2018 Hawaii false missile alert" and not "Hawaii missile alert." Similarly, it will know that the canonical URL has "2018_Hawaii_false_missile_alert" in it. Try searching for "foo" and note that Foo only comes up under the name Foobar. -- N Y Kevin 22:56, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

- I understand that the page is clearly labeled, my concern is that the existing redirect probably increases the relevance that search engines perceive of the page for searches on "Hawaii missile alert". We're somewhat googlebombing our own page, which probably results in the page link showing up a bit higher on "Hawaii missile alert" searches than it otherwise would. This may theoretically slightly crowd out more useful information. The page title of the redirect page is "Hawaii missile alert", which (if it matters) is arguably semantically wrong; according to the html5 spec, "Authors should use titles that identify their documents even when they are used out of context, for example in a user’s history or bookmarks, or in search results."

- Book:Great Card Games → Book:Trick-Taking Card Games ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
While this redirect resulted from a pagemove, it reflects a purely subjective assessment of what qualifies as a "great" card game. Useful history is preserved at the target page, and the redirect is neither helpful (non-neutral) nor actually used (1 pageview, by me, in the last 90 days). Delete as nominator. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 00:04, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

- What are the similarly named articles? It's not pizza party, which is very generic. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 17:23, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- Retargeting it to Totino's would make it "unreasonably difficult for users to locate similarly named articles via the search engine",
reason for deletion #1. I'd much rather delete. -

- Retarget to Totino's as a {{ R from product}} per AngusWOOF. Steel1943 ( talk) 17:19, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- As I said earlier, party pizza is also a synonym for Italian tomato pie, so delete. - Apocheir ( talk) 23:21, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- I also support a retarget over to ' Totino's' as the specific product term seems more notable than the alternative name use for the tomato pies. I wouldn't object at all to a hat-note or something else expanding the targeted page. CoffeeWithMarkets ( talk) 09:34, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

This redirect formerly targeted Mario Storyline. In its present state, the redirect is unclear what it refers to. Does it refer to the timeline of Mario's appearance in video games? Does it refer to Mario's character's story timeline? It's too vague to be helpful. Steel1943 ( talk) 16:38, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

- Retarget as proposed - The Mario franchise doesn't really have enough continuity to sustain a "proper" timeline. I suppose we could have one for the RPGs and Paper Mario, but even that seems like a stretch. On the other hand, "Mario timeline" could also mean "a history of the Mario franchise," which the retarget would provide. -- N Y Kevin 06:16, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Redirect pointing to a dab page, where there is no link to a real article. Onel5969 TT me 12:39, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment - 'Audio disambiguation' in the sense of trying to parse out separate elements from a blended sound as well as determine the proximate location of a sound is a topic discussed by reliable sources (see
here for a printed example) that might merit its own page. At the same time, though, maybe it's already discussed in some article that we have now on A/V technology?

- Delete. For one, I don't see any precedence to use this disambiguator. For two, seems like some sort of topic that qualifies for WP:REDLINK per CoffeeWithMarkets' comment. And for three, as much as I disagree with the following statement (though I see it being plausible), I would expect any audio-related redirects to target a page in the "File:" or "TimedText:" namespaces.

Domdeparis ( talk) 09:52, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete Template probably ate the nominator's rationale, but in any case this is not mentioned at the target article, so it's unhelpful to readers.

- The result of the discussion was keep. Well this is exciting! Basically, I think Zxcvbnm has it right: this is useful, and the only such incident. Should the islands receive another missile alert this would be a good dab page, but thankfully that is not yet needed. It is not up to us to optimize Google's algorithm for them, and we need not care too deeply about how readers get to the page they want as long as they get there smoothly. It's a good example of what redirects are for — Wikipedia standards may result in the current title, readers will find it useful; Although not mentioned below, I'll note that since the rename the redirect still gets dozens of page hits a day. The public safety argument is interesting, to say the least, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an arm of any given public policy institution. The redirect is useful, so we keep it. I take full responsibility for any loss of life should any cataclysm occur. ~ Amory ( u • t • c) 16:38, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- Hawaii missile alert → 2018 Hawaii false missile alert ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
delete the direct- misleading redirect source to target. God forbids if there is a real missile alert. The article was created at Hawaii missile alert in a rush and consensus reached that the old article name is misleading SYSS Mouse ( talk) 02:37, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep There having been no other missile alerts in Hawaii, real or otherwise, it is still a pertinent redirect. I don't see how it's confusing. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 03:30, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- Mild Delete I don't consider it confusing, but if the page remains then Google's machine learning algorithms will presumably consider it an additional hint that the first hit for 'Hawaii missile alert' searches should be '2018 Hawaii false missile alert', and we can't NOINDEX pages in article space (presumably including redirects). I feel like the odds are 100:1 it won't create a problem even if there is a future actual missile strike, but better safe than sorry. Rolf H Nelson ( talk) 03:42, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- As a counter-example the tsunami alert redirect doesn't show up for me on page 1 of Google and is only the 6th hit on Bing. I really think it's easier to just delete Hawaii missile alert though than to try to somehow prove that wouldn't ever be a problem. Rolf H Nelson ( talk) 05:01, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- Cant's say I've ever seen a public safety exception invoked in an RfD. But as they say on Law & Order: "It's a novel argument, but I'll allow it." That said, I think this would all hinge, then, on whether Rolf's concern is 10:1 or 100:1 or 1,000,000:1. Question: Does Google have any ambassadors here on Wikipedia who we could poke? I know the WMF has some business dealings with them, at the very least. — PinkAmpers & (Je vous invite à me parler) 11:22, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep: All Wikipedia pages use <link rel="canonical"> to canonicalize URLs. Once Google re-indexes the page (after this discussion is closed and the redirect starts working again), Google will know that the canonical title of this page is "2018 Hawaii false missile alert" and not "Hawaii missile alert." Similarly, it will know that the canonical URL has "2018_Hawaii_false_missile_alert" in it. Try searching for "foo" and note that Foo only comes up under the name Foobar. -- N Y Kevin 22:56, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

- I understand that the page is clearly labeled, my concern is that the existing redirect probably increases the relevance that search engines perceive of the page for searches on "Hawaii missile alert". We're somewhat googlebombing our own page, which probably results in the page link showing up a bit higher on "Hawaii missile alert" searches than it otherwise would. This may theoretically slightly crowd out more useful information. The page title of the redirect page is "Hawaii missile alert", which (if it matters) is arguably semantically wrong; according to the html5 spec, "Authors should use titles that identify their documents even when they are used out of context, for example in a user’s history or bookmarks, or in search results."

While this redirect resulted from a pagemove, it reflects a purely subjective assessment of what qualifies as a "great" card game.
