An article already exists for
Met Him Last Night, and this redirect points to the album that it's on, instead of pointing to its own article. Even if it pointed to its own article, I would say it's unnecessary. I'd like to delete it to prevent further confusion. — Preceding

edits 21:28, 12 April 2021 (UTC)reply
No,
J947, I am saying the title,
Met Him Last Night, is sufficient. When typing the title out in the search engine, does anyone continue until they find (song) or even (Demi Lovato song)? Or is the actual title of the song sufficient? Nobody will see these redirects. If you are arguing that the title itself is not sufficient, then you need to review Article Naming, which confirms that the actual title is sufficient unless disambiguation is necessary. Both redirects, before even being listed here are tagged as 'unnecessary disambiguation' and those wishing to keep them are saying we need unnecessary disambiguation. That doesn't make sense.--

Firstly in your last but one post you said that searchers will keep searching until they have completed their search term, so the extra parenthesis words are a disadvantage to them, and you still have failed to explain the helpfulness in any way that is meaningful to me. secondly, the argument that unnecessary disambiguations help because... 'it works well in songs,' but I can't think of another WP situation where that might be the case, which makes it music exceptionalism, and thirdly, it is not helpful for linking, instead of one change necessary, we now need 3. This is why deletion of unnecessary disambiguation is not disadvantageous to anybody save those that think their particular favorite artist is bigger than everybody else's. Finally, we are talking about redirects. In the future nobody will need or see them. They will become electronic clutter. --

Sorry, but I'm not understanding your arguments very well here and I don't think you're understanding mine. Firstly, the readers often keep searching until they complete the search that they want to search for. They don't keep going as long as there's an option in the search bar left – why would they do that? What's music exceptionalism? It is helpful for linking as Tavix explained. Simply stating it is not helpful for linking does not invalidate that. Why would three changes be required by keeping this redirect? And why would this be searched up by those that think their particular favorite artist is bigger than everybody else's? I'd like to reiterate that it is helpful to readers who search this term up, as you don't seem to acknowledge that. It's a perfectly plausible search term because so many article titles are titled in this manner.Now

Note - From my analysis of Non-TfL bus routes, the 611 and the 614 below are the only bus route redirects which aren't TfL bus routes. There are no others.
Pkbwcgs (
talk) 10:50, 9 April 2021 (UTC)reply
Keep and refine to the "Non-TfL bus routes in Greater London" section. Plausible search term, and there is a bus route numbered 611 in the list. The vast majority of searcher's aren't going to know or care who the operator is, or that it isn't technically a London Buses route, they'll just be looking for information on bus route 611 that operates in London, and having one route that doesn't follow the standard naming pattern for the hundreds of other routes in the list is likely to be more confusing than helpful.
86.23.109.101 (
talk) 11:35, 9 April 2021 (UTC)reply
No because the other Non-TfL bus routes do not have redirects and it's implausible because London Buses do not operate the 611 bus. There is no
London Buses route 420,
London Buses route 515 or the other non-TfL bus routes in the list. Also, it's a rarely used search term.
Pkbwcgs (
talk) 14:03, 9 April 2021 (UTC)reply
Keep and refine per the ip above. That
WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESN'TEXIST (but should) is irrelevant. Redirects exist to help people find the content they are looking for, regardless of whether they know all the details about it before they've read the content. There is a route 611 that runs in London and so this is a perfectly logical search term.
Thryduulf (
talk) 18:35, 10 April 2021 (UTC)reply
@
Thryduulf: I am still not convinced to why it's okay to have a redirect starting with "London Buses" for a bus route that isn't operated by London Buses. This redirect and the other one below both aren't rarely used. Secondly, if I put all the points that I made aside, a quick look on the Uno bus tracker website shows that the 611 bus service is non-existent. There is a 614 bus but there's not 611 bus.
Pkbwcgs (
talk) 22:03, 10 April 2021 (UTC)reply
I used the Uno bus tracker website which is
here.
Pkbwcgs (
talk) 22:04, 10 April 2021 (UTC)reply
The 611 only runs during the day Monday to Friday during University term times
[2] so, it's not surprising that they aren't featured on the bus tracker on a Saturday evening during the Easter holiday. As for the London Buses prefix, it's acceptable because it's plausible that someone looking for a bus route in London will look for a page starting "London Buses route" whether that service is operated by London Buses or not. See
Category:Redirects from incorrect names for thousands of other examples of redirects that are not correct being used to guide people to the content they are looking for. Just because a redirect is lightly used does not mean it's harmful, and we do not delete redirects unless they are.
Thryduulf (
talk) 22:37, 10 April 2021 (UTC)reply
@
Thryduulf: Actually, no. The 610, 612 and 614 bus routes are not in service today but are still featured on the Uno bus tracker website saying when they will next be in service. This is not the case with the 611 bus; it's literally non-existent. If the 611 bus existed, it would show on the bus tracker website saying when the next 611 bus service will run on which day. Also, if you think it's so useful, why can't it be moved to something like
London Buses route 611 (Non-TfL)? Right now, it's so misleading because it looks like it is going to a 611 bus route operated by TfL which doesn't exist. How about support the alternative proposal of moving it?
Pkbwcgs (
talk) 10:34, 11 April 2021 (UTC)reply
London Buses route 611 (Non-TfL) would not be a plausible search term so I oppose that suggestion. The whole point is that we do not require people to know the operator before they look it up. Redirects do not have to be correct, they simply need to be plausible search terms. If they are incorrect then the target should correct any misunderstands, misrememberings, etc. and this one does.
Thryduulf (
talk) 11:17, 11 April 2021 (UTC)reply
@
Thryduulf: Why would it not be plausible? It's a Non-TfL bus route and it would come up if someone typed up "London Buses route 611" in the search bar, it would come up. If not deletion, at least moving it to a more correct name would make sense.
Pkbwcgs (
talk) 15:17, 11 April 2021 (UTC)reply
The internal search engine is only one of many different ways people use to find Wikipedia content and one of only a minority where search suggestions are available. There is only one route 611 so disambiguation is not needed, but even if it was needed then the undisambiguated title would always either redirect to the primary topic or disambiguate between them meaning that even if moved (and see
WP:MOVEREDIRECT for why it's generally better not to do that) a redirect at this title would still be needed.

Non-existent London Bus route which has never ever existed before. Could be potentially speedy deleted but I'm taking it to RfD.

Non-existent London Bus route from a quick search on the TfL website at

According to the creation edit summary this was a school bus route, and is supposed to be targeting
List of London school bus routes, which was deleted in 2009 following
this AfD nomination.

Former London Bus route which no longer exists. Makes no sense to redirect this to a list of current bus routes. There is no "former routes" section in the article which this bus route is being redirected to.

Note - From my analysis of Non-TfL bus routes, the 611 and the 614 below are the only bus route redirects which aren't TfL bus routes. There are no others.

Keep and refine to the "Non-TfL bus routes in Greater London" section. Plausible search term, and there is a bus route numbered 611 in the list. The vast majority of searcher's aren't going to know or care who the operator is, or that it isn't technically a London Buses route, they'll just be looking for information on bus route 611 that operates in London, and having one route that doesn't follow the standard naming pattern for the hundreds of other routes in the list is likely to be more confusing than helpful.
86.23.109.101 (
talk) 11:35, 9 April 2021 (UTC)reply
No because the other Non-TfL bus routes do not have redirects and it's implausible because London Buses do not operate the 611 bus. There is no
London Buses route 420,
London Buses route 515 or the other non-TfL bus routes in the list. Also, it's a rarely used search term.
Pkbwcgs (

Keep and refine per the ip above. That
WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESN'TEXIST (but should) is irrelevant. Redirects exist to help people find the content they are looking for, regardless of whether they know all the details about it before they've read the content. There is a route 611 that runs in London and so this is a perfectly logical search term.

Thryduulf: I am still not convinced to why it's okay to have a redirect starting with "London Buses" for a bus route that isn't operated by London Buses. This redirect and the other one below both aren't rarely used. Secondly, if I put all the points that I made aside, a quick look on the Uno bus tracker website shows that the 611 bus service is non-existent. There is a 614 bus but there's not 611 bus.

I used the Uno bus tracker website which is
here.
Pkbwcgs (

The 611 only runs during the day Monday to Friday during University term times
[2] so, it's not surprising that they aren't featured on the bus tracker on a Saturday evening during the Easter holiday. As for the London Buses prefix, it's acceptable because it's plausible that someone looking for a bus route in London will look for a page starting "London Buses route" whether that service is operated by London Buses or not. See
Category:Redirects from incorrect names for thousands of other examples of redirects that are not correct being used to guide people to the content they are looking for. Just because a redirect is lightly used does not mean it's harmful, and we do not delete redirects unless they are.

Thryduulf: Actually, no. The 610, 612 and 614 bus routes are not in service today but are still featured on the Uno bus tracker website saying when they will next be in service. This is not the case with the 611 bus; it's literally non-existent. If the 611 bus existed, it would show on the bus tracker website saying when the next 611 bus service will run on which day. Also, if you think it's so useful, why can't it be moved to something like
London Buses route 611 (Non-TfL)? Right now, it's so misleading because it looks like it is going to a 611 bus route operated by TfL which doesn't exist. How about support the alternative proposal of moving it?
Pkbwcgs (
talk) 10:34, 11 April 2021 (UTC)reply
London Buses route 611 (Non-TfL) would not be a plausible search term so I oppose that suggestion. The whole point is that we do not require people to know the operator before they look it up. Redirects do not have to be correct, they simply need to be plausible search terms. If they are incorrect then the target should correct any misunderstands, misrememberings, etc. and this one does.
Thryduulf (

@
Thryduulf: Why would it not be plausible? It's a Non-TfL bus route and it would come up if someone typed up "London Buses route 611" in the search bar, it would come up. If not deletion, at least moving it to a more correct name would make sense.
Pkbwcgs (
talk) 15:17, 11 April 2021 (UTC)reply
The internal search engine is only one of many different ways people use to find Wikipedia content and one of only a minority where search suggestions are available. There is only one route 611 so disambiguation is not needed, but even if it was needed then the undisambiguated title would always either redirect to the primary topic or disambiguate between them meaning that even if moved (and see
WP:MOVEREDIRECT for why it's generally better not to do that) a redirect at this title would still be needed.

Keep. The URL is mentioned at the target article, and as far as I can tell, that's the only place it's mentioned. There are a bunch of articles with faulty references like nytimes.com.com, so I might have overlooked something. -

Nothing links to this redirect. The redirect is improperly capitalized (it's a ship's name). Renamed to [DSV Limiting Factor], seeking to delete this redirect.

Delete per nom, no connection to the language. The editor who made this made about 500 of these redirects with a bot, which I've slowly been sorting through.
