  • Note I created the re-direct, so I'll sustain from voting either way; however, I would like to specify that my rationale for creating it is simply that The Demented Duo is a very popular nickname for the rap group, despite not being mentioned in their article currently. If you Google "The Demented Duo" and "Twiztid" with quotation marks to assure that both names appear in the same page, you will find over 6,500 results. If that alone isn't enough justification, then by all means go ahead and delete. -- Ogyaf ( talk) 03:34, 28 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Delete all. This is a follow-up nomination to this one, with the same rationale: Currently, there are ~600 redirects from "Wikipedia:Books/..." to "Books:...", nearly all of which were created ~10 years ago when the Books: namespace was first established. There is no need to retain these cross-namespace redirects: each move is recorded in the page history of the destination page, the redirects are unused (maybe 1–2 pageviews each year), and the Book: prefix is certainly well-established by now. I will be nominating these redirects in batches of 30–60 so that I/others can have a reasonable chance of checking the page histories and incoming links. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 20:34, 20 October 2019 (UTC) reply

    I think you are overestimating the likelihood of "breaking things", considering many of the pages were moved within days of being created and most within 1–2 months. The point of deleting the redirects is summarized in my nomination, and expressed in more detail here. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 04:53, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply
    I don't mean to offend you, but have you read Wikipedia:Cross-namespace redirects recently? The reasons for deleting are entirely about redirects out of article space, and #9 in the section on keeping seems most applicable "Readers of the article-space only ... are unlikely to fall "backstage", because these "trapdoors" ... are only being left in the maintenance areas." I don't see how simply being a redirect from Project space to Book space is inherently harmful. Your nomination says "there's no need to retain these cross-namespace redirects" but WP:RKEEP gives us a reason. You're right that it's not strong, but you haven't given a clear reason why these redirects are harmful. We have potential problems if we delete them; what's the problem if we just leave them alone?

    No offense taken—it's a fair question, especially as, in retrospect, I should have offered a more nuanced response. :) Wikipedia:Cross-namespace redirects is written for CNRs out of mainspace, as you correctly note, but I think similar reasons apply to CNRs in general. All CNRs blur the line between namespaces, potentially adding to confusion for editors/readers; create "trapdoors" that take editors/readers across namespaces; and degrade the effectiveness of the filters in the Wikipedia search function. As such, I consider all CNRs to be harmful and worthy of deletion except when there is a compelling reason to keep them. I realize you may not agree, but I hope that at least helps to clarify my perspective. Cheers, -- Black Falcon ( talk) 05:24, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply
    I can definitely see how keeping search filters clean can be useful. I still think the balance leans toward keep, but that's the point of these discussions: get more thoughts on the matter. Thanks for the explanation! Wug· a·po·des​ 05:39, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Delete; per nom, also these are wp:Cross-namespace redirects and so come directly under WP:RDELETE#6. Re. the above vote/discussion, any unused legacy function accrues harm as its origin becomes obscure and devs/editors lose track of whether they need to retain compatibility. For example if we leave them in then one day someone will come in and start creating more of them, even moving books back across again or whatever. I'd say the risk of such harm is now greater than the risk of breaking something that matters if we delete them, i.e. that WP:RKEEP#4 is insignificant here. They are an anachronism that once lived briefly and now needs cleaning out. — Cheers, Steelpillow ( Talk) 08:13, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply

    • If you're worried about server space ( you shouldn't be, BTW), deleting unused redirects won't help in that regard. When something is deleted, it doesn't get removed from any servers. It is simply is hidden from the view of non-administrators with all edit history still in tact. In fact, deletion actually adds a bit to the servers due to the addition of a log entry. -- Tavix ( talk) 21:02, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Relisting comment: Relisting this for further discussion on the merits of keeping or deleting these, especially given that WP:CNR is largely concerned with mainspace->elsewhere redirects.

This redirect is WP:CRYSTAL. There are no sources that say that there is going to be a by-election in Sheffield Hallam. I know that this redirect emerged from a page move but it is still misleading because no sources say that there is going to be a 2019 Sheffield Hallam by-election.

There is no indication that the name "Thog" primarily refers to the Marvel character. I think Thog (disambiguation) should be moved to Thog, because at it's current state, the redirect is potentially confusing. Not a very active user ( talk) 15:01, 27 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Uttarakhand Cricket Association

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 retarget to Cricket Association of Uttarakhand#History. Deryck C. 11:58, 7 November 2019 (UTC) reply

This page shouldn't be redirected to the article Cricket Association of Uttarakhand since the Uttarakhand Cricket Association is a separate unaffiliated sports organisation and not related to the Cricket Association of Uttarakhand. Also there hasn't been any merger of Uttarakhand Cricket Association into the Cricket Association of Uttarakhand. Hence I propose the deletion of this redirect. Hemant Dabral Talk 13:33, 9 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Is the separate organisation notable in its own right? If so then the redirect can be turned back into an article describing it. I notice that there used to be content (describing the CAU), which was all deleted a couple of days after the target was created. Should there be a WP:HISTMERGE? Spike 'em ( talk) 09:05, 10 October 2019 (UTC) reply
No, the Uttarakhand Cricket Association is not a notable, neither a recognised sports organisation to govern the sport of cricket in the state of Uttarakhand. Initially there were four unrecognised cricket organisations in Uttarakhand competing to get official recognition and affiliation of the national level governing body for cricket in India, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI); the four contenders were Cricket Association of Uttarakhand, United Cricket Association, Uttarakhand Cricket Association and Uttaranchal Cricket Association. Out of these the United Cricket Association merged with the Cricket Association of Uttarakhand back in 2017. In August 2014, BCCI decided to grant the affiliation and official recognition to the Cricket Association of Uttarakhand to govern the sport of cricket in Uttarakhand, leaving it the sole cricket organisation to officially represent and control the Uttarakhand cricket team in the domestic inter-state cricket tournaments. Therefore, I've proposed the deletion of the redirect page Uttarakhand Cricket Association altogether, since it carries no significance anymore. Check out the related ESPN news article here for the reference backing my rationale for deletion. Hemant Dabral Talk 11:52, 10 October 2019 (UTC) reply
There is mention of UCA (and other rivals organisations) in the history section of the CAU page, so I think this is a valid redirect if there is no content on this page. Maybe amend the redirect to go to that section rather than the top of the page. Spike 'em ( talk) 08:44, 11 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Delete – It's not a relevant, nor a useful redirect to keep. Its history has already been discussed in the article Cricket Association of Uttarakhand#History. If the need arise, we can recreate the article in future but for now it should be just deleted. Hemant Dabral Talk 04:10, 23 October 2019 (UTC) reply

None of these are mentioned in the target article. As they're all the names of websites or web forums, these redirects seem like they were created promotionally. Ten Pound Hammer • ( What did I screw up now?) 18:25, 12 October 2019 (UTC) reply

The redirects were created because they are furry websites mentioned at the time - i.e. a decade ago - in the relevant section of the article, which were not in and of themselves notable enough for a full article (or at least had not had one created), but were significant enough to mention, and for people to reasonably search for. They may not be mentioned there now because content has been removed from the article in question - just as was the case with list of furry conventions. A big part of the goal with such redirects is to reduce the number of articles created. They do not in and of themselves have "a promotional effect". Conversely, if you don't have something there, it's very tempting to use the "create this article" link. As far as the sites go, ArtSpots closed in 2012 (to some consternation from users), FurBid was shuttered in 2015 (arguably had become less relevant than it was before then); Pounced.org was taken down by its owners in March 2018 due to concerns about the controversial sex-trafficking bill known as FOSTA; FurBuy went down just this year for an indeterminate period; Mia's Index of Anthro Stories is still up and was historically important but had been largely superseded by 2005 as fans moved to archive sites rather than their own homepages; Bluefurry, Lulz.net and The Fursuit Database are still going (probably none of those will ever have sufficient refs for a standalone article). GreenReaper ( talk) 21:55, 12 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • I still think that most of them are unlikely to ever have their names hijacked for articles. I see no point in keeping them around if they're not mentioned in the articles because it just creates confusion for the few people who know most of these sites' names. Worst case it'll cause them to add the sites' names to Furry fandom and clutter it up with listcruft or trivia about said sites.

The result of the discussion was retarget to Nightcrawler. Deryck C. 11:59, 7 November 2019 (UTC) reply

Delete. After searching it seems this term does not have a main topic or obvious target. It does not seem to refer commonly to "yobai" or any of the Nightcrawler media. There is also a song called Nightcrawl recorded by apparently NN group Odd Couple. Zerach ( talk) 22:28, 9 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Which album is Odd Couple's song on? Not even the German article mentions this. I guess for now I'll just redirect it to the Nightcrawler disambiguation page. Apparently when used as a verb it can also refer to photographers who drive around at night looking for photos, Nightcrawler (film) being named after it. Olivia comet ( talk) 19:21, 18 October 2019 (UTC) reply

It is simply is hidden from the view of non-administrators with all edit history still in tact. In fact, deletion actually adds a bit to the servers due to the addition of a log entry. -- Tavix ( talk) 21:02, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply

This redirect is WP:CRYSTAL. There are no sources that say that there is going to be a by-election in Sheffield Hallam. I know that this redirect emerged from a page move but it is still misleading because no sources say that there is going to be a 2019 Sheffield Hallam by-election.

There is no indication that the name "Thog" primarily refers to the Marvel character. I think Thog (disambiguation) should be moved to Thog, because at it's current state, the redirect is potentially confusing. Not a very active user ( talk) 15:01, 27 October 2019 (UTC) reply

This is supposed to be the katakana for "Lady", which was this character's original name. It's misspelled though as it should be レディー. In any case it is vague and shouldn't point to this list anyway. — Xezbeth ( talk) 07:07, 27 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Uttarakhand Cricket Association

The result of the discussion was retarget to Cricket Association of Uttarakhand#History. Deryck C. 11:58, 7 November 2019 (UTC) reply

This page shouldn't be redirected to the article Cricket Association of Uttarakhand since the Uttarakhand Cricket Association is a separate unaffiliated sports organisation and not related to the Cricket Association of Uttarakhand. Also there hasn't been any merger of Uttarakhand Cricket Association into the Cricket Association of Uttarakhand. Hence I propose the deletion of this redirect. Hemant Dabral Talk 13:33, 9 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Is the separate organisation notable in its own right? If so then the redirect can be turned back into an article describing it. I notice that there used to be content (describing the CAU), which was all deleted a couple of days after the target was created. Should there be a WP:HISTMERGE? Spike 'em ( talk) 09:05, 10 October 2019 (UTC) reply
No, the Uttarakhand Cricket Association is not a notable, neither a recognised sports organisation to govern the sport of cricket in the state of Uttarakhand. Initially there were four unrecognised cricket organisations in Uttarakhand competing to get official recognition and affiliation of the national level governing body for cricket in India, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI); the four contenders were Cricket Association of Uttarakhand, United Cricket Association, Uttarakhand Cricket Association and Uttaranchal Cricket Association. Out of these the United Cricket Association merged with the Cricket Association of Uttarakhand back in 2017. In August 2014, BCCI decided to grant the affiliation and official recognition to the Cricket Association of Uttarakhand to govern the sport of cricket in Uttarakhand, leaving it the sole cricket organisation to officially represent and control the Uttarakhand cricket team in the domestic inter-state cricket tournaments. Therefore, I've proposed the deletion of the redirect page Uttarakhand Cricket Association altogether, since it carries no significance anymore. Check out the related ESPN news article here for the reference backing my rationale for deletion. Hemant Dabral Talk 11:52, 10 October 2019 (UTC) reply
There is mention of UCA (and other rivals organisations) in the history section of the CAU page, so I think this is a valid redirect if there is no content on this page. Maybe amend the redirect to go to that section rather than the top of the page. Spike 'em ( talk) 08:44, 11 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Delete – It's not a relevant, nor a useful redirect to keep. Its history has already been discussed in the article Cricket Association of Uttarakhand#History. If the need arise, we can recreate the article in future but for now it should be just deleted. Hemant Dabral Talk 04:10, 23 October 2019 (UTC) reply

None of these are mentioned in the target article. As they're all the names of websites or web forums, these redirects seem like they were created promotionally. Ten Pound Hammer • ( What did I screw up now?) 18:25, 12 October 2019 (UTC) reply

The redirects were created because they are furry websites mentioned at the time - i.e. a decade ago - in the relevant section of the article, which were not in and of themselves notable enough for a full article (or at least had not had one created), but were significant enough to mention, and for people to reasonably search for. They may not be mentioned there now because content has been removed from the article in question - just as was the case with list of furry conventions. A big part of the goal with such redirects is to reduce the number of articles created. They do not in and of themselves have "a promotional effect". Conversely, if you don't have something there, it's very tempting to use the "create this article" link. As far as the sites go, ArtSpots closed in 2012 (to some consternation from users), FurBid was shuttered in 2015 (arguably had become less relevant than it was before then); Pounced.org was taken down by its owners in March 2018 due to concerns about the controversial sex-trafficking bill known as FOSTA; FurBuy went down just this year for an indeterminate period; Mia's Index of Anthro Stories is still up and was historically important but had been largely superseded by 2005 as fans moved to archive sites rather than their own homepages; Bluefurry, Lulz.net and The Fursuit Database are still going (probably none of those will ever have sufficient refs for a standalone article). GreenReaper ( talk) 21:55, 12 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • I still think that most of them are unlikely to ever have their names hijacked for articles. I see no point in keeping them around if they're not mentioned in the articles because it just creates confusion for the few people who know most of these sites' names. Worst case it'll cause them to add the sites' names to Furry fandom and clutter it up with listcruft or trivia about said sites.

The result of the discussion was retarget to Nightcrawler. Deryck C. 11:59, 7 November 2019 (UTC) reply

Delete. After searching it seems this term does not have a main topic or obvious target. It does not seem to refer commonly to "yobai" or any of the Nightcrawler media. There is also a song called Nightcrawl recorded by apparently NN group Odd Couple. Zerach ( talk) 22:28, 9 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Which album is Odd Couple's song on? Not even the German article mentions this. I guess for now I'll just redirect it to the Nightcrawler disambiguation page. Apparently when used as a verb it can also refer to photographers who drive around at night looking for photos, Nightcrawler (film) being named after it. Olivia comet ( talk) 19:21, 18 October 2019 (UTC) reply
