The result of the discussion was keep. signed, Rosguill talk 16:24, 7 August 2020 (UTC) reply

In the almost decade I've been editing Wikipedia, I think this is the first time I've seen a redirect with the disambiguator "celebrity" in any form of capitalization, and from what I see, there's probably a reason why. The use of the term "celebrity" is so vague that it's almost an objective/opinionated term to label someone as so, and thus the term itself is ambiguous in nature. For these reasons, I'd say this redirect should be deleted. Steel1943 ( talk) 16:14, 20 July 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep. It's useless, but the Beau Walker page was at this title for 6 months, so there may be old links on external pages. Given that this isn't blatantly harmful, I think the reasons to keep outweigh the reasons to delete. Hog Farm Bacon 18:09, 20 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Keep as a harmless and potentially useful {{ R from move}} and harmless {{ R from unnecessary disambiguation}}. There are no other people with this name who could be described as a celebrity. Thryduulf ( talk) 19:33, 20 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. I think the nom makes a good case why this redirect is deletable, and for what it's worth the target does not explicitly describe him as a celebrity. The page was moved 10 years ago, which was long enough ago to not worry about linkrot, and I think the likeliness of external linkage of this redirect is negligible. -- Tavix ( talk) 23:46, 26 July 2020 (UTC) reply

"Dinsey" is technically a mispelling for "Disney". However, there's no proof that Disney and Dinsey would sound exactly the same. Dinsey is literally an implausible redirect and there's also no reason why the redirect page "Dinsey" has to be created to begin with. Thank you, Seventyfiveyears at 19:23, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply

This term is mentioned in some articles, but none of them actually explains what it means. Unless an explanation for this term can be added to an article, I think this redirect should be deleted. Not a very active user ( talk) 17:16, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply

Looking at the history of the article it was originally an unsourced article (redirected to Email spam article a few hours later) stating that E-blasts were bulk emails sent to people that agreed to receive them and they they weren’t spam. Since the target article doesn’t mention the term I believe deletion is appropriate.-- 69.157.254.92 ( talk) 17:56, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 21:53, 3 August 2020 (UTC) reply

I believe this redirect is for the boat "Feiseen" used in the 1893 speed record, however the redirect has seen no traffic in the last 30 days and the Water speed record article has no additional information on it. FozzieHey ( talk) 17:10, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep - Only a passing mention and a single photo of the yacht on Water speed record, however it is very difficult to find much information about this yacht apart from in the cited article in Water speed record (suggesting that it is perhaps not notable enough for a stand-alone article). There are no incoming links so I don't think there's much harm in keeping, and someone could always write an article if they found more sources. That said there's no strong reason not to delete either since this is the only mention on Wikipedia, so searching will find the Water speed record article anyway. A7V2 ( talk) 07:20, 28 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Mentioned in the article. The nominator has not given a policy reason to delete. Shhhnotsoloud ( talk) 07:27, 28 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Mentioned in the article with useful information, including a photo. Perfectly appropriate redirect. Narky Blert ( talk) 13:01, 30 July 2020 (UTC) reply

The redirect was created as part of a AfD discussion. Currently the redirect leads to a section that IMO is quite one-sided when it comes to what the reader is trying to read about. I have created an article ( 2020 Facebook ad boycotts) that IMO serves as a better target and I propose that the redirect be retargeted there. N0nuun ( talk) 05:09, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply

Cross namespace redirect from Wikipedia project space to user space. A previous RFD credibly argued the redirect in project-space was inappropriate, but the RFD closed as no consensus. The user was site-banned five years ago and the target page is completely defunct. The project-space redirect now clearly serves no credible purpose. Alsee ( talk) 02:13, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Since it's been discussed before, I guess it's not really G8 eligible, but this serves no purpose. Hog Farm Bacon 02:25, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply
    • As long as the target page exists the redirect is not eligible for speedy deletion under criterion G8. The redirect was created before the user was banned so it is not eligible for G5 speedy deletion either. R2 applies only to redirects in the article namespace and it isn't recently created, so R3 also does not apply. Thryduulf ( talk) 02:39, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Keep; harmless, especially given it's a soft redirect now. Note that this redirect was undeleted but its companion in the previous discussion wasn't. J947 messageedits 04:19, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Neutral with this target. My previous !vote was based on an error in the nomination. Hog Farm Bacon 04:24, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Keep as a soft redirect. Yes, the kaffeeklatsch is effectively defunct. But there are many people who wish to gain information on defunct Wikipedia projects and I remember a time when the idea of the kaffeeklatsch was seriously being proposed and discussed. Chess (talk) (please use {{ ping|Chess}} on reply) 05:44, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply
    • there are many people who wish to gain information on defunct Wikipedia projects There are? Care to give some examples? And an explanation of why a project created by a discredited contributor and, IIRC, discussed by other discredited contributors serves any purpose beyond this alleged research interest. - Sitush ( talk) 06:44, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply
    • Chess the entire problem is that it is NOT Wikipedia project. Am I (and everyone else) entitled to create projectspace wp:REDIRECTs to arbitrary userspace pages? Alsee ( talk) 16:32, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - I went looking for this the other day in an on-wiki discussion about harassment (not the Arbcom RFC) and found that it had been G8 deleted, but the target still existed. At the time that it was deleted the target had also been deleted, but it was restored shortly after, so I restored the redirect. I didn't restore the other one because, well, I didn't need to, but I don't object to restoring it if someone wants to. I also marked the project historical at that time, which probably should have been done five years earlier when it was restored. I pretty strongly supported the redirect when the project was active but I'm fairly soft on it now: the creator recently appealed their ban and it appears to have been declined, and evidently nobody else wants to take over the project since it's been idle for half a decade. Leaning keep anyway because there are pretty important discussions that refer to all of this. I oppose deleting it if the only reason for deletion is because it's marked historical, we have lots of WP-shortcut redirects to historical processes and failed proposals. Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 16:49, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply
    Oh wait, I didn't mark it historical, I suggested that someone should do so but respecting the original purpose of the page I could not, but yeah, someone should mark it historical. Also, just noting for whoever cares that since this nomination was clearly prompted by my restoration of the redirect (three days ago) it would have been kind to notify me of the thread. Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 17:00, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply
    For what it's worth, in case it affects anyone's rationale, the Kaffeeklatsch was deleted at the creator's request before she was banned. It was restored a little while afterwards by Graeme Bartlett noting it was by request by Staszek Lem. I don't see where that request was so I've pinged both in case they wish to comment on this redirect. Personally, I don't think any of this matters: the target currently exists regardless of this history, but thought it worth mentioning in case it affects anyone else's opinion. Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 17:32, 28 July 2020 (UTC) reply
    My restorations are mostly based on requests at WP:REFUND, occasional people use my talk page, and very rarely an email request. I will normally overturn a G7 request if the user changes their mind or owner is inactive, and there is no other problem. (actually this was a U1 delete reversal) Graeme Bartlett ( talk) 01:03, 29 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - Not seeing a real reason to delete this. I'm wary of projectspace-userspace redirects in general, but think it's fine when the userspace page is intended for project-wide use (like some essays, projects, etc.) so long as it doesn't conflict with policies/guidelines. I wouldn't consider a banned/blocked user to be sufficient reason in itself. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:03, 28 July 2020 (UTC) reply

"Dinsey" is technically a mispelling for "Disney". However, there's no proof that Disney and Dinsey would sound exactly the same. Dinsey is literally an implausible redirect and there's also no reason why the redirect page "Dinsey" has to be created to begin with. Thank you, Seventyfiveyears at 19:23, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply

This term is mentioned in some articles, but none of them actually explains what it means. Unless an explanation for this term can be added to an article, I think this redirect should be deleted. Not a very active user ( talk) 17:16, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply

Looking at the history of the article it was originally an unsourced article (redirected to Email spam article a few hours later) stating that E-blasts were bulk emails sent to people that agreed to receive them and they they weren’t spam. Since the target article doesn’t mention the term I believe deletion is appropriate.-- 69.157.254.92 ( talk) 17:56, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply

I believe this redirect is for the boat "Feiseen" used in the 1893 speed record, however the redirect has seen no traffic in the last 30 days and the Water speed record article has no additional information on it. FozzieHey ( talk) 17:10, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep - Only a passing mention and a single photo of the yacht on Water speed record, however it is very difficult to find much information about this yacht apart from in the cited article in Water speed record (suggesting that it is perhaps not notable enough for a stand-alone article). There are no incoming links so I don't think there's much harm in keeping, and someone could always write an article if they found more sources. That said there's no strong reason not to delete either since this is the only mention on Wikipedia, so searching will find the Water speed record article anyway.

The redirect was created as part of a AfD discussion. Currently the redirect leads to a section that IMO is quite one-sided when it comes to what the reader is trying to read about. I have created an article ( 2020 Facebook ad boycotts) that IMO serves as a better target and I propose that the redirect be retargeted there. N0nuun ( talk) 05:09, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply

Cross namespace redirect from Wikipedia project space to user space. A previous RFD credibly argued the redirect in project-space was inappropriate, but the RFD closed as no consensus. The user was site-banned five years ago and the target page is completely defunct. The project-space redirect now clearly serves no credible purpose. Alsee ( talk) 02:13, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Since it's been discussed before, I guess it's not really G8 eligible, but this serves no purpose. Hog Farm Bacon 02:25, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply
    • As long as the target page exists the redirect is not eligible for speedy deletion under criterion G8. The redirect was created before the user was banned so it is not eligible for G5 speedy deletion either. R2 applies only to redirects in the article namespace and it isn't recently created, so R3 also does not apply. Thryduulf ( talk) 02:39, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Neutral with this target. My previous !vote was based on an error in the nomination. Hog Farm Bacon 04:24, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply

    • Chess the entire problem is that it is NOT Wikipedia project. Am I (and everyone else) entitled to create projectspace wp:REDIRECTs to arbitrary userspace pages? Alsee ( talk) 16:32, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - I went looking for this the other day in an on-wiki discussion about harassment (not the Arbcom RFC) and found that it had been G8 deleted, but the target still existed. At the time that it was deleted the target had also been deleted, but it was restored shortly after, so I restored the redirect. I didn't restore the other one because, well, I didn't need to, but I don't object to restoring it if someone wants to. I also marked the project historical at that time, which probably should have been done five years earlier when it was restored. I pretty strongly supported the redirect when the project was active but I'm fairly soft on it now: the creator recently appealed their ban and it appears to have been declined, and evidently nobody else wants to take over the project since it's been idle for half a decade. Leaning keep anyway because there are pretty important discussions that refer to all of this. I oppose deleting it if the only reason for deletion is because it's marked historical, we have lots of WP-shortcut redirects to historical processes and failed proposals. Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 16:49, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply
    Oh wait, I didn't mark it historical, I suggested that someone should do so but respecting the original purpose of the page I could not, but yeah, someone should mark it historical. Also, just noting for whoever cares that since this nomination was clearly prompted by my restoration of the redirect (three days ago) it would have been kind to notify me of the thread. Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 17:00, 27 July 2020 (UTC) reply
    For what it's worth, in case it affects anyone's rationale, the Kaffeeklatsch was deleted at the creator's request before she was banned. It was restored a little while afterwards by Graeme Bartlett noting it was by request by Staszek Lem. I don't see where that request was so I've pinged both in case they wish to comment on this redirect. Personally, I don't think any of this matters: the target currently exists regardless of this history, but thought it worth mentioning in case it affects anyone else's opinion. Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 17:32, 28 July 2020 (UTC) reply
    My restorations are mostly based on requests at WP:REFUND, occasional people use my talk page, and very rarely an email request. I will normally overturn a G7 request if the user changes their mind or owner is inactive, and there is no other problem. (actually this was a U1 delete reversal) Graeme Bartlett ( talk) 01:03, 29 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - Not seeing a real reason to delete this. I'm wary of projectspace-userspace redirects in general, but think it's fine when the userspace page is intended for project-wide use (like some essays, projects, etc.) so long as it doesn't conflict with policies/guidelines. I wouldn't consider a banned/blocked user to be sufficient reason in itself. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:03, 28 July 2020 (UTC) reply
