Too vague.

- Black science man → Neil deGrasse Tyson ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Proposing to delete. "Black science man" referring to Tyson has been an internet meme for several years, typified by memes such as this. A subreddit called /r/BlackScienceMan featuring these memes has 9,000 subscribers. However, I don't think a meme of this sort can be justified on an encyclopedia. The term is rather offensive on its face, suggesting that Tyson is the only notable black scientist. It's also not (and shouldn't be) mentioned in the article. Ostealthy ( talk) 17:54, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - unecyclopedic, and inaccurate, as there are many other black men in science. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 22:24, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. This would be a fine redirect to an article with an encyclopaedic mention of the term, but there isn't. Indeed the only other use of this exact phrase on en.wp is User:Bedsidelamp's "profile" at Wikipedia:Teahouse/Guests (an inactive project page whose purpose isn't explained or obvious to me) - and I'm not certain Bedsidelamp is even referencing Tyson.

- Kidwelly satanic child rape cult → Kidwelly sex cult ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
I just moved Kidwelly satanic child rape cult to Kidwelly sex cult because that is how the case is described by sources. I think we would be justified in deleting the original title, for the same reason as with the Norwich case below: the title is lurid and unencyclopedic. However I did leave it as a redirect and I am nominating it for RfD, in part so as to have a paper trail. MelanieN ( talk) 17:01, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was WP:IAR deleted. There is zero possibility that this discussion will reach any result other than delete, and it serves no useful purpose whatsoever to keep an actively disruptive redirect in place for a week just for the sake of process.

- Norwich child rape and sadistic abuse ring → Norwich sexual abuse ring ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
This was the original title for the article. It was objected to at AN [1] as being lurid and inappropriate for Wikipedia. The article was moved to a more neutral title. IMO this inappropriate redirect should not be kept. MelanieN ( talk) 14:54, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
- Absolutely agree. As the bod who moved the page (twice), I say that this is completely unlikely as a search term and the more so for not being a name that is encountered in the sources. Thanks to
MelanieN for picking this up; apologies, I forgot that not being a proper page mover, I would leave this redirect behind. Would it be easier if I just stuck {{db-user}} on it?

- Good thought, but it technically doesn't qualify for U1 or G7. I wish it did; I would rather not have this title sitting around for a week while we discuss it. Maybe it can qualify for SNOW at some point. -- MelanieN ( talk) 15:43, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

- Emil Johansson (athlete) → Emil Johansson ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
A redirect to a DAB page with no relevant entry (except perhaps for Emil Johansson (tug of war), if tug-of-war can be considered to fall within sport of athletics; which in my opinion it does not). There is an incoming link from Athletics at the 2019 European Youth Summer Olympic Festival; a competition whose name suggests that the sprinter is extremely unlikely to pass WP:GNG or WP:NTRACK as yet. I propose deletion, to encourage article creation if and when justified. Narky Blert ( talk) 08:15, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
- Comment in US English "athlete" can mean both a person who competes in the sport of athletics, or a sportsperson more generally. We should thus defer to American English speakers regarding whether the tug of war competitor would/could be called an athlete (as a British English speaker I genuinely don't know). Thryduulf ( talk) 23:52, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
- I've only ever seen the qualifier (athlete) on people who've competed in
track and field. There is a well-defined array of qualifiers for US competitors in other sports, all the way from e.g. (baseball) to (left-handed pitcher, born 1899).
Narky Blert (

- That doesn't necessarily mean it would be an implausible search term for someone partially but not intimately familiar with Wikipedia's article titling guidelines.
Thryduulf (

21:03, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
- Pretty much the exact reasons above are why I created the redirect. Page disambiguators must serve as a way of distinguishing between different topics. Footballers, boxers, tug-of-war competitors and ice hockey players are all athletes, thus the disambiguator is not a suitable one – Emil Johansson (sprinter) is the better redlink target for the track athlete. I've made numerous changes of this type for several years, changing the page handle from "(athlete)" to the specific track discipline when other athletes of the same name exist to ensure we don't confuse readers or editors with ambiguous disambiguation handles. The "(athlete)" handle is only really useful if there are no other biographies for sportspeople of that name (e.g. Sarah Cowley). SFB 23:57, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

I think we would be justified in deleting the original title, for the same reason as with the Norwich case below: the title is lurid and unencyclopedic. However I did leave it as a redirect and I am nominating it for RfD, in part so as to have a paper trail. MelanieN ( talk) 17:01, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

My search for pages containing this title found no relevant results, so it is no longer needed.

Not really a valid redirect as it happened in April and wasn't a "spree". Praxidicae ( talk) 14:57, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
- Delete regardless of whether or not it can be considered a spree the shooting happened in late April making this a highly unlikely search term.-- 64.229.166.98 ( talk) 21:57, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was WP:IAR deleted. There is zero possibility that this discussion will reach any result other than delete, and it serves no useful purpose whatsoever to keep an actively disruptive redirect in place for a week just for the sake of process. If anyone wants to complain about me, WP:ANI and WP:ARC are thataway. ‑ Iridescent 16:02, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
- Norwich child rape and sadistic abuse ring → Norwich sexual abuse ring ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
This was the original title for the article. It was objected to at AN [1] as being lurid and inappropriate for Wikipedia. The article was moved to a more neutral title. IMO this inappropriate redirect should not be kept. MelanieN ( talk) 14:54, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
- Absolutely agree. As the bod who moved the page (twice), I say that this is completely unlikely as a search term and the more so for not being a name that is encountered in the sources. Thanks to
MelanieN for picking this up; apologies, I forgot that not being a proper page mover, I would leave this redirect behind. Would it be easier if I just stuck {{db-user}} on it?

- Good thought, but it technically doesn't qualify for U1 or G7. I wish it did; I would rather not have this title sitting around for a week while we discuss it. Maybe it can qualify for SNOW at some point. -- MelanieN ( talk) 15:43, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

- Emil Johansson (athlete) → Emil Johansson ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
A redirect to a DAB page with no relevant entry (except perhaps for Emil Johansson (tug of war), if tug-of-war can be considered to fall within sport of athletics; which in my opinion it does not). There is an incoming link from Athletics at the 2019 European Youth Summer Olympic Festival; a competition whose name suggests that the sprinter is extremely unlikely to pass WP:GNG or WP:NTRACK as yet. I propose deletion, to encourage article creation if and when justified. Narky Blert ( talk) 08:15, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
- Comment in US English "athlete" can mean both a person who competes in the sport of athletics, or a sportsperson more generally. We should thus defer to American English speakers regarding whether the tug of war competitor would/could be called an athlete (as a British English speaker I genuinely don't know). Thryduulf ( talk) 23:52, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
- I've only ever seen the qualifier (athlete) on people who've competed in
track and field. There is a well-defined array of qualifiers for US competitors in other sports, all the way from e.g. (baseball) to (left-handed pitcher, born 1899).

- That doesn't necessarily mean it would be an implausible search term for someone partially but not intimately familiar with Wikipedia's article titling guidelines.

- Pretty much the exact reasons above are why I created the redirect. Page disambiguators must serve as a way of distinguishing between different topics. Footballers, boxers, tug-of-war competitors and ice hockey players are all athletes, thus the disambiguator is not a suitable one – Emil Johansson (sprinter) is the better redlink target for the track athlete. I've made numerous changes of this type for several years, changing the page handle from "(athlete)" to the specific track discipline when other athletes of the same name exist to ensure we don't confuse readers or editors with ambiguous disambiguation handles. The "(athlete)" handle is only really useful if there are no other biographies for sportspeople of that name (e.g. Sarah Cowley). SFB 23:57, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

- Keep per Thryduulf. In American English, this is a {{ r from incomplete disambiguation}}, and could refer to any of the four people listed on the disambiguation page. It's also a {{ r from move}}, since it's the former title of Emil Johansson (tug of war). - Eureka Lott 19:24, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
