- TRAINSTATION → Train Station (film) ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Useless and potentially confusing, as it points to a movie instead of the obvious primary topic Train station. Nothing links to this redirect, so there is nothing to lose. The search engine will take care of redirecting readers typing "trainstation" without a space. There may be a case to create a redirect from the Trainstation misspelling to the Train station main article. — JFG talk 23:25, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Not mentioned in, and no particular affinity with, the current target. The film title was capitalised in the poster (well, duh), but as two words.
- The fact that WP has lived so long without Trainstation suggests that there's no crying demand. It would be harmless, though.
- Train station (disambiguation) created (I found a third full-title match). Narky Blert ( talk) 09:28, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:RCAPS. UnitedStatesian ( talk) 19:03, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete also as a non-plausible typo; this depends on two errors at once, "I don't know how to space words" and "I don't know what the caps lock key is", and we have no reason to try to double compensate in such a manner (e.g. we would not keep a redir of "Teh Treminator" or "Unitd kingdom"; two errors per string is too many). — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 19:15, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:
Interstate 13 was only mentioned on the cahighways website, which is not a reliable source. If this is deleted, the mention of I-13 should be removed from the Interstate 605 article, as well. Morriswa (Charlotte Allison) ( talk) 12:25, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

This originally pointed to Donald Trump, which does not mention the nickname at all. I tried pointing it to List of nicknames of presidents of the United States#Donald Trump and providing citations, but was informed on the talk page that it doesn't appear to meet the standard for inclusion there. I would thus suggest deletion, unless someone can find enough usage in RS to justify inclusion at that target. signed, Rosguill talk 21:36, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Not mentioned at target page. Is mentioned briefly as the name of an unrelated character in a video game plot summary, and briefly at Vala (Middle-earth) in the sentence "He lived atop Mount Taniquetil, the highest mountain of the world, in the halls of Ilmarin." Neither of those references would be particularly useful to the reader, so delete. Hog Farm ( talk) 23:00, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Vala § ManwëVala (Middle-earth) § Manwë seems okay to me. From the Vala article I gleaned "Ilmarin is the hall of Manwë", which is more than I knew about Ilmarin before.

Not mentioned at the target. Based on a Scholar search, it seems that Fakhri was a relative of Awni's and was likely notable. But, if they're not mentioned at the target, I don't think this redirect is helping anyone and would suggest deletion. signed, Rosguill talk 18:28, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
- Delete You are right, the two are not the same person. I found similarities between them when I created the redirect, and there is not a lot of information about Fakhri available on the Internet, but according to this article (in Arabic), Fakhri died in the year 1943, while Awni's article states he died in 1970.

- Tiger Global Management → Tiger Management ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Recommend deletion as Tiger Management was founded in 1980 by Julian Robertson and Tiger Global Management is a separate entity founded in 2001 by Chase Coleman. Please note I work for Rubenstein and am addressing this issue on behalf of Tiger Global Management.
A recent Bloomberg article notes, "Coleman is one of at least 10 money managers who went on to run billions of dollars after cutting their teeth at Robertson’s Tiger Management, and at least eight managers have emerged from Coleman’s Tiger Global... Robertson’s Tiger, which was founded in 1980..." [1]
A recent Wall Street Journal article notes, "Charles "Chase" Coleman started Tiger Global in 2001 when he was still working for hedge-fund pioneer Julian Robertson at Tiger Management." [2] NinaSpezz ( talk) 15:48, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
- Comment (was
Weak-ish keep) It's a mention in the "References" section, though I'm not sure if that counts as a "mention." Nevertheless, it's got the pageviews to support it.Tiger Global Management LLC appears to be a non-notable subsidiary, so I wondered if there was an rcat for {{ R from subsidiary}} (created by SMcCandlish, interestingly, as a redirect to {{ R from subtopic}}, which I feel is too broad, so I'm going to approach him outside of this RfD about potentially creating a new rcat template as I can see this being widely used; we have lots of non-notable subsidiaries and this is perfect) would work. Nevertheless, it's regrettably, a redirect for {{ R from subtopic}}; however, I recommend using {{ R from subsidiary}}, as can be used, in the event that rcat is created.Doug Mehus T· C 16:44, 4 February 2020 (UTC) - Comment Tiger Global Management is not and never has been a subsidiary of Tiger Management. What supporting evidence is there to imply it is? NinaSpezz ( talk) 20:37, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
Delete[changed to retarget, below]. These are not related companies, other than having had an employee in common and a similar name. This should redlink to encourage article creation if notable, and just not exist otherwise (or maybe exist as a redir to someone notable). The current target is misleading. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 22:21, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
Question: for SMcC or the nom, what's the reference #2 at
Tiger Management to "Tiger Global Management LLC"? If the two companies are unrelated, then that reference is incorrect, and should be removed from the article. If that's the case, then yes, I will change my !vote.

- @ Dmehus: In my experience, most hatnotes on DAB pages are of the "possible misspelling" type and belong in see-also; unless they're very common misspellings, e.g. Columbia for Colombia. That sort of hatnote is distracting. Hatnotes to other namespaces are good, though; as a topical example, see RFD. Narky Blert ( talk) 09:49, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

- Add the info + refs to
crapsGlossary of craps terms, then a {{ redirect}} hatnote on the DAB page. This is one occasion in which a redirect hatnote on a DAB page would be appropriate, to avoid the Easter Egg feeling for someone interested in dice. Narky Blert ( talk) 17:20, 6 February 2020 (UTC)- Do you think an article on dice terminology would pass muster? In addition to "little dick" for 4, I think I saw while looking for this that "big dick" is an 8; and of course snake eyes is 2 (a pair of ones) while boxcars is 12 (a pair of sixes). I expect there are probably names for all eleven values; I just found yo-leven (for "eleven", to keep it from sounding too close to "seven") as I typed this note.
- Beyond just enumerating the various names for numbers the "hard way" refers to a particular number showing up in the form of equal-valued dice in a pair (e.g., a pair of 3s is "six the hard way", as distinguished, say, from a 2 and a 4).
- The terminology appears to be more dice-related than specifically craps-related.

- Seems like a reasonable addition if there's a good source, though I would still do it as a "See also" (probably too a redirect like Little Dick (dice), Little Dick (gambling), or Little Dick (craps), all of which are redirects that should probably exist to the glossary entry. A "little Dick" in a dicing context is an abbreviation of "little Dick Fisher". As a WP:NOTDICT matter, I would say that it's not WP's job to try to give equal weight to every slangishly truncated variant of a phrase, even if Wiktionary would (e.g. by given each its own entire page); we just need to make sure that the DAB page it goes to provides a line-item somewhere that leads to this meaning. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 19:35, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Steel1943 I see what you're saying, but what I'm getting at is "fulfillment logistics," properly spelled and capitalized, is a legitimate phrase on which someone might search, and it's reasonable to suggest that they might look to one of the pages at
Logistics (disambiguation) or
Fulfillment. The problem is, they're separate dab pages. I'm wondering if maybe the best solution is to combine and rename those dab pages, as say
Fulfillment and logistics, with each of those separate concepts sub-arranged under separate headings. Following each, we'd provide the usual see also references, too. and preserve the redirects to those dab pages? It's a multi-stage close, but I think those two are such similar concepts, they could easily be combined into a renamed dab page.

Steel1943 ( talk) 00:41, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
- A page named " Fulfillment and logistics" would be one of the following: 1) an article with that concept (existing articles would have to be merged to create this, not disambiguation pages), 2) the proper name of an entity or organization that exists, or 3) a redirect that would get deleted due to its clear WP:XY nature.

Useless and potentially confusing, as it points to a movie instead of the obvious primary topic Train station. Nothing links to this redirect, so there is nothing to lose.

There may be a case to create a redirect from the Trainstation misspelling to the Train station main article. — JFG talk 23:25, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Recommend deletion as Tiger Management was founded in 1980 by Julian Robertson and Tiger Global Management is a separate entity founded in 2001 by Chase Coleman. Please note I work for Rubenstein and am addressing this issue on behalf of Tiger Global Management.
A recent Bloomberg article notes, "Coleman is one of at least 10 money managers who went on to run billions of dollars after cutting their teeth at Robertson’s Tiger Management, and at least eight managers have emerged from Coleman’s Tiger Global... Robertson’s Tiger, which was founded in 1980..." [1]

Weak-ish keep) It's a mention in the "References" section, though I'm not sure if that counts as a "mention."

Delete[changed to retarget, below]. These are not related companies, other than having had an employee in common and a similar name.

- Add the info + refs to
crapsGlossary of craps terms, then a {{ redirect}} hatnote on the DAB page. This is one occasion in which a redirect hatnote on a DAB page would be appropriate, to avoid the Easter Egg feeling for someone interested in dice. Narky Blert ( talk) 17:20, 6 February 2020 (UTC)- Do you think an article on dice terminology would pass muster? In addition to "little dick" for 4, I think I saw while looking for this that "big dick" is an 8; and of course snake eyes is 2 (a pair of ones) while boxcars is 12 (a pair of sixes). I expect there are probably names for all eleven values; I just found yo-leven (for "eleven", to keep it from sounding too close to "seven") as I typed this note.
- Beyond just enumerating the various names for numbers the "hard way" refers to a particular number showing up in the form of equal-valued dice in a pair (e.g., a pair of 3s is "six the hard way", as distinguished, say, from a 2 and a 4).
- The terminology appears to be more dice-related than specifically craps-related.

- Seems like a reasonable addition if there's a good source, though I would still do it as a "See also" (probably too a redirect like Little Dick (dice), Little Dick (gambling), or Little Dick (craps), all of which are redirects that should probably exist to the glossary entry. A "little Dick" in a dicing context is an abbreviation of "little Dick Fisher". As a WP:NOTDICT matter, I would say that it's not WP's job to try to give equal weight to every slangishly truncated variant of a phrase, even if Wiktionary would (e.g. by given each its own entire page); we just need to make sure that the DAB page it goes to provides a line-item somewhere that leads to this meaning. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 19:35, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
