This painting is known by many names: Head of a woman, Head of a young girl, Female head, Young Girl's Head etc. But every single source I have found always mentions it as La Scapigliata. (Among one of the other names I listed) I want to move this article's name to La Scapigliata because it is definitely more well known by the name, but since this redirect exists I can not change it. (Note: The French Wikipedia's featured version of the painting goes by La Scapigliata as well) I hope I'm explaining this clearly, but the point I'm making is that I want to rename the main article (
Head of a Woman (Leonardo)) as the name this redirect (La Scapigliata) and cannot do so unless this redirect is deleted.

Delete per
WP:VGSCOPE and the rationale at
this discussion a few months ago (1st choice). This is apparently a character in the game, but his notability is questionable (sure, he may be popular among players, but probably not enough to warrant his own Wikipedia page). Super weak retarget to
Salmo aphelios (2nd choice), a
search for the term reveals that it also has a connection with this trout species, but then again I'm not entirely sure it would be a plausible search term for that either, since it's questionable whether people would search organisms with just the species name. Regards,

Not mentioned at the target. Searching online, I found two different explanations on fan wikis:
Fandom says that this was the name of a 2007 Wii game (that we don't appear to have an article for), whereas
Mariowiki says that this was a working title for a N64/DD64 Donkey Kong game that was never released but was mentioned in a Japanese magazine. Either way, the existing redirect is not particularly helpful. I would suggest deletion unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguilltalk 18:16, 23 May 2020 (UTC)reply

The holotype of Deinodon is D. horridus. Many other species historically assigned to Deinodon have been re-assigned to other taxa, including this one. I'd probably have this redirect to Aublysodon, or remove the redirect and make it its own page.
Dinoguy2 (
talk) 19:06, 15 May 2020 (UTC)reply
Keep - I'm not an expert at paleontology, but from what I can tell, Deinodon cristatus is an obsolete taxonym for the Tyrannosaurus rex. There have been other Deinodon cristatus, but this does not seem to be ambiguous, because of the (Marsh) qualifier. Marsh was the one who assigned the Deinodon cristatus taxonym, and I can't find evidence of Marsh using this name for another creature. I'm not an expert in paleontology, so there is a decent possibility I missed something somewhere, though.

Keep as is, tagging as {{R from other capitalisation}}{{R from ambiguous term}}. If there's any possibility of confusion, it's always best to point to a DAB page - links to those get found and fixed; links to article pages never do, unless some editor grits their teeth and goes gnoming.

Delete. This is not not an obsolete species name, it is listed as a
taxonomic synonym for Canis familiaris, as found in the domestic
dog article's taxobox. This implies that it could be split out from under C.l. familairis at any time as its own species should evidence indicate that it should not fall under C.l.f., if only we knew what it was. Linnaeus in his Systema Naturae (1758) described it as "pilo crifto longo, inftar ovis" - long feathery hair, like a sheep. That is all we know about it, and to start attributing it to water dogs or poodles based on that evidence is not supported. (Your reference above in not Linnaeus 1758, it is Gmelin 1792 translated from the German into English by Kerr "with additions".)

I looked at the
mentions of "Greek Olympics" in books nominally between 2006 and 2008, and references to the Ancient Olympics are usually "Ancient Greek Olympics".

Human history#Rise of civilization per nom. I fail to see that this is not the only topic of the Google search results. Ancient History includes the rise of civilization, but also discusses topics from several millenia later. Also, as
Human history shows, civilization before writing is not considered ancient history but rather prehistory.—

This painting is known by many names: Head of a woman, Head of a young girl, Female head, Young Girl's Head etc. But every single source I have found always mentions it as La Scapigliata. (Among one of the other names I listed) I want to move this article's name to La Scapigliata because it is definitely more well known by the name, but since this redirect exists I can not change it. (Note: The French Wikipedia's featured version of the painting goes by La Scapigliata as well) I hope I'm explaining this clearly, but the point I'm making is that I want to rename the main article (
Head of a Woman (Leonardo)) as the name this redirect (La Scapigliata) and cannot do so unless this redirect is deleted.

The holotype of Deinodon is D. horridus. Many other species historically assigned to Deinodon have been re-assigned to other taxa, including this one. I'd probably have this redirect to Aublysodon, or remove the redirect and make it its own page.
Dinoguy2 (

Keep - I'm not an expert at paleontology, but from what I can tell, Deinodon cristatus is an obsolete taxonym for the Tyrannosaurus rex. There have been other Deinodon cristatus, but this does not seem to be ambiguous, because of the (Marsh) qualifier. Marsh was the one who assigned the Deinodon cristatus taxonym, and I can't find evidence of Marsh using this name for another creature. I'm not an expert in paleontology, so there is a decent possibility I missed something somewhere, though.

Numerical digit this makes sense as the quotation means a digit qua digit. It doesn't cover the original intent of the redirect, but that can be rectified by expanding the article, and the new target is more general, effectively covering most likely meanings.

Retarget to respective pages (
0,
2,
3,
9); The hexadecimal meaning is correct but it's extremely unlikely someone looking for '0' is actually looking for 48...

Retarget to
Barbet (dog). In HF's link, Linnaeus equated both subspecies of Canis aquaticus to
Buffon's "barbet". C. aquaticus is a thoroughly obsolete species name, but can be found at

Delete. This is not not an obsolete species name, it is listed as a
taxonomic synonym for Canis familiaris, as found in the domestic
dog article's taxobox. This implies that it could be split out from under C.l. familairis at any time as its own species should evidence indicate that it should not fall under C.l.f., if only we knew what it was. Linnaeus in his Systema Naturae (1758) described it as "pilo crifto longo, inftar ovis" - long feathery hair, like a sheep. That is all we know about it, and to start attributing it to water dogs or poodles based on that evidence is not supported. (Your reference above in not Linnaeus 1758, it is Gmelin 1792 translated from the German into English by Kerr "with additions".) It should simply be deleted; as an article it has only one original mention and can go nowhere. William Harristalk 13:03, 27 May 2020 (UTC)reply

Retarget per the above. "Greek Olympics" without context almost always refers to the Ancient Olympic Games. The modern games are referred to geographically by city; if you wanted to talk about the 1896 or 2004 Olympics, you'd say
Athens Olympics. --

Retarget to
Greek Olympics, now a dab page. All the best: RichFarmbrough (the apparently calm and reasonable) 15:21, 23 May 2020 (UTC).reply
I looked at the
mentions of "Greek Olympics" in books nominally between 2006 and 2008, and references to the Ancient Olympics are usually "Ancient Greek Olympics". "Greek Olympics" on its own is more likely to refer to the 2004 Olympics (or a small scale competition in a college, but these books are mis-dated). It's a small sample size, but makes your assertion less convincing. All the best: RichFarmbrough (the apparently calm and reasonable) 12:55, 24 May 2020 (UTC).reply
Retarget to
Greek Olympics. If and when
Greek Olympics becomes a redirect, bypass the double redirect as usual. If people want to change
Greek Olympics to not be a dab page, they can do that in a separate discussion, since RfD is not the correct forum for doing that. This redirect should follow the outcome of that discussion, whatever it is. --NYKevin 21:04, 29 May 2020 (UTC)reply

Weak delete. It's not massively implausible, and it's definitely harmless, but it still seems kind of unlikely and pointless. It's not even getting much use, not even quite managing to average a single view a month.

Human history#Rise of civilization per nom. I fail to see that this is not the only topic of the Google search results. Ancient History includes the rise of civilization, but also discusses topics from several millenia later. Also, as
Human history shows, civilization before writing is not considered ancient history but rather prehistory.—
