A redirect leftover from a page move that is unhelpful or
WP:COSTLY is always going to be a redirect that is unhelpful or
WP:COSTLY. Also, some of these are not {{R from move}}s. And the external link concern, in most cases, only applies to the "File:" namespace.

Delete all – this should not be controversial, readers will not be looking for these redirects because the films are no longer upcoming. In fact, these kinds of redirects (along with "Untitled ... sequel/film") can usually be speedy deleted under
WP:G6, no discussion is needed.
InfiniteNexus (

To add on to this, it's clear from the
lengthy list of

Steel1943, I suggest nominating similar redirects for speedy deletion per G6 in the future, as this isn't a controversial topic.
InfiniteNexus (

@
InfiniteNexus: It has been occasionally been somewhat controversial the past few times a nomination like this occurred; I tend to nominate at least one batch of redirects like these every year or so. There has usually been at least one editor who will say "keep" for some reason like page views or something. And
WP:G6 is open to interpretation by the approving/denying administrator, and these are not a clear case of a technical reason. Unless there is a new
WP:CSD criterion created for redirects such as these, this is the place they should go. (But if a discussion were to occur suggesting such a speedy criterion be created, expect me to support it.)
Steel1943 (

I have indeed toyed with the idea of proposing a new speedy deletion criterion, and would definitely be open to it if there is support fromt the masses. I just haven't found the need to do so so far since G6 has been working well for me.
InfiniteNexus (

Comment It is probably obvious, but please make sure there's no older content in the histories of these redirects before deleting.

Although given the precedent doesn't exist, and that Wikipedia is more official than the wiki work i am used to, and that "unknown" doesn't necessarily make sense ( "unknown potential" would be accurate i guess, but that makes even lese sense as a redirect) that's fine, do what you need to do.

Keep According to
this article, "the Taliban said Tuesday they plan to temporarily enact articles from Afghanistan’s 1964 constitution that are 'not in conflict with Islamic Sharia (law)' to govern the country" (also referenced in the wiki article). Until a new document is created, this appears to be most the logical target (see also Superboilles' comment on the now-withdrawn Chad nomination). -

@
Presidentman, yes the Taliban plan to temporarily enact some articles from Afghanistan’s 1964 constitution. But currently there is no constitution in Afghanistan. Therefore
Draft:Constitution of Afghanistan is better. The Libyan case is also different. There is the Libyan interim Constitutional Declaration. Therefore we can redirect "Constitution of Libya" there. For other uses we can refer to
Constitution of Libya (disambiguation). But in the case of Afghanistan it would be mesleading, I think, to redirect directly to
1964 Constitution of Afghanistan.

Unclear what emoji or symbol this is… I only see an empty square. It's also unclear what connection it has to The Fool card. Therefore, I suggest deletion, unless someone can prove its meaning and what affinity it has with the article it currently targets.
CycloneYoristalk! 10:43, 10 August 2022 (UTC)reply
According to
https://unicodeplus.com/U+1F0E0 , this character displays on MS Windows (untested), so on those systems it may not be unusual for people to right-click search Wikipedia to find its meaning.
Maybe
The Fool (Tarot card) should mention the Unicode character, but I'm not sure an appropriate place for that info (since it has no infobox nor sections on representations thereof).
Keep The primary benefit of redirects like this is so that someone which is incapable of seeing the character for technical reasons can search it on Wikipedia to discover what the character represents. U+1F0E0 is an obscure character which many computers can't display (e.g. my computer displays a box with "01F0E0" in it), so this redirect would be useful for anyone who finds the character and wants to know what it means (and usefulness is one of the main reasons to keep a redirect). Maybe there should be some method of citing redirects like this one in order to help prove that they go to the correct target, but this one does (the Unicode character database which came with my computer describes it as "PLAYING CARD FOOL", which is further evidence in addition to Llew Mawr's that the target is correct). --

There are more too that target the infection article that I previously missed. The issue is that the article about the organism was created much later and the original article was left to focus on the infection, so there are many redirects that need to be reconciled. Not sure if the abbreviated versions should remain pointing to the infection article or not. We could have a new bundled nomination of all the redirects, but that's cumbersome since there are so many. Perhaps we should just reach rough consensus on what should target the organism article and which ones should target the infection article, and someone can then just do the cleanup as appropriate.

Vikram (upcoming film) having significant traffic (for a seemingly unknown reason), it doesn't make sense to have an inaccurate redirect especially if another film named Vikram were to come out. I think it's also possible people are looking for
Vikram (actor)'s next film, which would make this inaccurate regardless.

Comment: isn't it standard to keep redirects from page moves, even if the original title is no longer correct? Not all incoming links are internal links. ―

A redirect leftover from a page move that is unhelpful or
WP:COSTLY is always going to be a redirect that is unhelpful or
WP:COSTLY. Also, some of these are not {{R from move}}s. And the external link concern, in most cases, only applies to the "File:" namespace.

Delete all – this should not be controversial, readers will not be looking for these redirects because the films are no longer upcoming. In fact, these kinds of redirects (along with "Untitled ... sequel/film") can usually be speedy deleted under
WP:G6, no discussion is needed.

To add on to this, it's clear from the
lengthy list of
past discussions (virtually all of which closed as delete) that there is strong consensus to delete these kinds of redirects. @
Steel1943, I suggest nominating similar redirects for speedy deletion per G6 in the future, as this isn't a controversial topic.
InfiniteNexus (

@
InfiniteNexus: It has been occasionally been somewhat controversial the past few times a nomination like this occurred; I tend to nominate at least one batch of redirects like these every year or so. There has usually been at least one editor who will say "keep" for some reason like page views or something. And
WP:G6 is open to interpretation by the approving/denying administrator, and these are not a clear case of a technical reason. Unless there is a new
WP:CSD criterion created for redirects such as these, this is the place they should go. (But if a discussion were to occur suggesting such a speedy criterion be created, expect me to support it.)
Steel1943 (

I have indeed toyed with the idea of proposing a new speedy deletion criterion, and would definitely be open to it if there is support fromt the masses. I just haven't found the need to do so so far since G6 has been working well for me.

Delete per reasons given above, many if not all of these might need to be reused one day for new projects as well. It really should be standard to auto-delete these kinds of redirects once works have come out.

Comment It is probably obvious, but please make sure there's no older content in the histories of these redirects before deleting. (If they are the result of page moves, that's unlikely the case but you never know). Any redirects that have significant content entries should be history merged into the main film article.

Delete Redirects like these should be added to
WP:G8, in analogy to Redirects to targets that never existed or were deleted. As soon as the target is released, no upcoming film of that title any longer exists, so the redirect becomes misleading. Paradoctor (

Yeah that makes sense! Sorry about that. I thought it may be of use as that is a word i searched when i was searching for "Contaminants of Emerging Concern" after forgetting the exact term, so i thought it would be of use as a redirect. Although given the precedent doesn't exist, and that Wikipedia is more official than the wiki work i am used to, and that "unknown" doesn't necessarily make sense ( "unknown potential" would be accurate i guess, but that makes even lese sense as a redirect) that's fine, do what you need to do.

Keep According to
this article, "the Taliban said Tuesday they plan to temporarily enact articles from Afghanistan’s 1964 constitution that are 'not in conflict with Islamic Sharia (law)' to govern the country" (also referenced in the wiki article). Until a new document is created, this appears to be most the logical target (see also Superboilles' comment on the now-withdrawn Chad nomination). -

@
Presidentman, yes the Taliban plan to temporarily enact some articles from Afghanistan’s 1964 constitution. But currently there is no constitution in Afghanistan. Therefore
Draft:Constitution of Afghanistan is better. The Libyan case is also different. There is the Libyan interim Constitutional Declaration. Therefore we can redirect "Constitution of Libya" there. For other uses we can refer to
Constitution of Libya (disambiguation). But in the case of Afghanistan it would be mesleading, I think, to redirect directly to
1964 Constitution of Afghanistan.

I disagree that "currently there is no constitution in Afghanistan." The cited article clearly states that the 1964 constitution is being used, albeit only in part. We have an article for that document, and therefore it is the most logical target.

[1]So far, it is clear that the 2004 constitution is no longer in force in Afghanistan and that the Taliban have, more or less, restored their constitution that was drafted in 1998. Under that version, the Taliban’s caretaker administration is a theocratic monarchial system with a supreme leader, known as the amir al-Mu’minin (leader of the faithful), as its king.Waltermaid (

Unclear what emoji or symbol this is… I only see an empty square. It's also unclear what connection it has to The Fool card. Therefore, I suggest deletion, unless someone can prove its meaning and what affinity it has with the article it currently targets.
CycloneYoristalk! 10:43, 10 August 2022 (UTC)reply
According to
https://unicodeplus.com/U+1F0E0 , this character displays on MS Windows (untested), so on those systems it may not be unusual for people to right-click search Wikipedia to find its meaning.
Maybe
The Fool (Tarot card) should mention the Unicode character, but I'm not sure an appropriate place for that info (since it has no infobox nor sections on representations thereof).
Keep The primary benefit of redirects like this is so that someone which is incapable of seeing the character for technical reasons can search it on Wikipedia to discover what the character represents. U+1F0E0 is an obscure character which many computers can't display (e.g. my computer displays a box with "01F0E0" in it), so this redirect would be useful for anyone who finds the character and wants to know what it means (and usefulness is one of the main reasons to keep a redirect). Maybe there should be some method of citing redirects like this one in order to help prove that they go to the correct target, but this one does (the Unicode character database which came with my computer describes it as "PLAYING CARD FOOL", which is further evidence in addition to Llew Mawr's that the target is correct). --

There are more too that target the infection article that I previously missed. The issue is that the article about the organism was created much later and the original article was left to focus on the infection, so there are many redirects that need to be reconciled. Not sure if the abbreviated versions should remain pointing to the infection article or not. We could have a new bundled nomination of all the redirects, but that's cumbersome since there are so many. Perhaps we should just reach rough consensus on what should target the organism article and which ones should target the infection article, and someone can then just do the cleanup as appropriate.
Mdewman6 (

Delete all. "This filmmaker's next" is a hopelessly confusing redirect format as it can refer to literally anything people do repeatedly (meals, showers, shopping tours, doctor's appointments...). Now that the films are out, these redirects are both confusing and wholly incorrect, making them an even bigger disservice to readers than they were from the start. I found
Vijay Krishna - Yash Raj's Next Project too; can we add it to this RFD?

Template:Extant, is itself a very unintuitive and unused redirect (to
