This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on May 18, 2020.
This page got about 43 pageviews since July 2015, while its correctly spelled cousins (which are worth keeping, since it's the first album AC/DC released internationally) High Voltage (International album) and High Voltage (international album) got far more during that time period, possibly because of the misspelling that was part of the reason it was moved back in 2006. Not sure how useful it is now... Regards, SONIC 678 22:06, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

An internet suggests that this term refers to affinity to Wales and Welsh culture. As Wales is not England, I don't think that this is an appropriate redirect, and would thus suggest deletion. signed, Rosguill talk 18:29, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

One of over a hundred redirects for characters not mentioned at League of Legends or anywhere else in Wikipedia (besides list of fictional scientists and engineers which would not be an appropriate target). We do not appear to have a list of League of Legends characters. There is a mention of a real Dr. Mundo at Mundo, California. Mundo (disambiguation)#People doesn't mention any other doctors. Not sure whether to retarget to Mundo, California or delete & let the search engine do its job. 59.149.124.29 ( talk) 05:28, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
Overly vague redirect - a large number of games have "prestige classes" making this unsuitable to be recreated after the deletion of the page. While I would suggest a rename to "List of prestige classes in Dungeons & Dragons", I fail to see the purpose of such a redirect in that case. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 04:56, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
Wikilinks and redirects to subsection headings absolutely require those subsection headings to be protected by "anchors".
Our WMF software does not fully support wikilinks to subsection headings. This isn't really a problem in the wikipedia namespace, where this technique is widely used, and subsection headings are rarely changed. It is, in my opinion, represents a terrible weakness, in article space.
With regular webpages web designers don't know how many other web pages link to their pages. Sometimes we get an error 404 when a regular webpage is deleted. But we can get a 404 when the web designer corrects the spelling of part of the URL. Properly formed wikilinks don't break, because our move function leaves a redirect behind. Clever robots find double redirects, and make sure they always point to the most recent location of the page. But wikilinks that point to a subsection within an article are as fragile as regular non-wiki webpages. Even changing the punctuation or capitalization of the section heading breaks the link.
In almost all cases when a topic merits a wikilink, it merits a standalone wikipage. If it hasn't been written yet it is probably best to be left as a redlink. We can put a redlink on our watchlist. We can't put a subsection of an article on our watchlist.
What links here is broken by the use of wikilinks to subsecton headings.

Voxatron should go to either List of PC games (V) or Voxel, where it receives a brief mention. I think I lean towards List of PC games (V); although there is slightly less info there, the info can be obtained from the citation.
I'm interested in the consensus on the two Humble Bundle redirects since the Humble Bundle page has a number of these. I propose these two are deleted since there is no mention at the target. These went to a specific section for a Humble Bundle titled "Humble Voxatron Debut", but this section was
removed in favor of a linked list. The list in question was eventually deleted per
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Humble Bundles (2nd nomination). In theory, these redirects should have been retargeted to the list article, and then deleted per
WP:G8 along with the list.

About a month ago, there was a discussion regarding the redirects
Obama Bin Laden and
Obama bin Laden. Those redirects were deleted for In its current form, it is not an attack on anyone, but it is pointing at the incorrect target as "Obama bin Laden" is much more likely to be an attack on
Barack Obama than a misspelling of
Osama bin Laden. But to modify the target would make it an attack. Hence there is no suitable target.

As below, I suggest if the two separate topics,
Gorr the Golden Gorilla and
Gorr the God Butcher are worth covering, at all, they should each be covered at their own standalone article.
Gorr (comics) should either be a redlink, a disambiguation page, or a list article, listing all the series the firm published.

Circa 2016
Gorr (comics), which described a single series of comics, was changed to some kind of conjoined twin article, that had two separate topics,
Gorr the Golden Gorilla and
Gorr the God Butcher. In my opinion, if these two comic book characters are worth covering, at all, they should each be covered at their own standalone article. As for
Gorr (comics), it should either be a redlink, a list article, or a disambiguation page, depending on whether they ever published anything beyond these two series.

The article is misleading. Both comics are published by Marvel. So Gorr (comics) should definitely be a disambiguation page. Geo Swan ( talk) 00:56, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
With the exception of List of Flash animated films all the instances where this redirect is used ALSO has a nearby link to Amy Pascal. In cases like this it is far far better to leave the wikilink as a redlink. Turning it into a redirect obfuscates that the article hasn't been written yet -- making the job of wikipedia contributors more complicate. For readers it is confusing because two nearby wikilinks lead to the same article, annoying them, or making them wonder if they are going senile.
