Weak keep - I don't have an issue with the capitalisation since it seems to be used elsewhere more as a proper noun. Searching online this terminology seems very strongly associated with Romans 16:17 (and to a lesser extent verse 18). I would have thought there would be some mention at
Romans 16 (and if there was I would definitely want this to target that), but since it is at least described at the current target it does seem helpful.

Extremely ambiguous redirect. The target page does not include tons of Russian airstrikes against Ukraine and there is no discussion for doing so currently, nor should be. The target article is restricted to energy and civilian infrastructure, and this redirect does not reflect that. I don't find it useful in anyway and it should be deleted.

Doing a search, I was able to find

List of craters on Europa, although that deity does not yet have an article. A disambiguation page (
WP:TWODABS) could be created at
God of carpentry, with this redirect pointing there. (It makes more sense to have the lowercase be the main title, since this phrase isn't necessarily a proper noun.) –

I think that
Orthodox Church (a disambiguation page) would probably be a better target here; I imagine that most people who search for this are looking for one of the Orthodox Churches rather than the application of the phrase "orthodoxy" in Christian contents; if this page is to be a redirect, it would be better targeted towards the dab as such.
There is an article hidden underneath this that was BLAR'd in 2020; I haven't gone through all of the references, but we also may want to simply restore the article rather than retargeting if the refs check out. —
Red-tailed hawk(nest) 19:29, 16 March 2023 (UTC)reply
Retarget. Agreed. "Orthodox Christianity" is a search for a denomination or branch of Christianity, not the concept of orthodoxy more generally. If it were the latter I'd expect the opposite order:
Christian Orthodoxy (this is in-fact already a redirect to the same section). Plausibly, it could be used as an umbrella for Eastern Orthodoxy and Oriental Orthodoxy, that is (reductively),
Eastern Christianity, in contrast to Western Roman Catholicism and Protestantism; I think that possibility could be covered by adding
Eastern Christianity to the "see also" of the disambiguation page. –

I cannot find any reliable sourcing describing chipmunks by the name "microbear". Typing microbear into any search engine results exclusively in information about tardigrades aka water bears, and as such I tried to change the redirect. Apparently this was controversial so here's a new conversation section that should have been an email.
TNstingray (
talk) 20:11, 5 February 2023 (UTC)reply
Keep: Microbear is a common name for chipmunks, I think it may have originated in the Boy Scouts but I'm not sure. I'm also not sure what counts as a reliable source for the non-scientific name of an animal apart from just showing its commonly used.
This came up before and multiple people agreed it was quite commonly used amongst backpackers -
/info/en/?search=Talk:Microbear
By "multiple people", do you mean one additional user and one IP address? I'd say that's pretty far from WP consensus, and rather some variation of an echo chamber based on like-minded interest. Absolutely none of these provided sources are
reliable or
verifiable.
WP:UNDUE may also be applicable, as even if the redirect is kept, it certainly seems more likely to refer to a more accurate target such as
Tardigrade. I'm not part of the early-2000s backpacking community, but I have certainly never heard this as a common name for a chipmunk, and neither has Google Scholar: ("microbear"
[2]: 0 hits, 21 hits for "microbearing(s)"), ("micro bear"
[3][4]: 0 hits, 19 hits for "micro bearing(s)", or "micro-bear" in some sort of chemical/molecular context). I'm definitely overreacting, and I should
assume good faith, but I just found it a little perplexing that a user with ten total sporadic edits
[5] before today since 2009 immediately reverts my
WP:BOLD redirect. That is all.

Sorry, I did not notice that "DS" had made both of the extra citations. (I am obviously jon787 and NUXI, I wasn't trying to imply I wasn't). The only reason I don't have more edits is because im normally too lazy to log in. I mostly just fix minor typos and grammatical mistakes and care little about attribution.
I created the redirect 13 years ago so that novice backpackers could actually look up what people were talking about when they overhead other backpackers talk about microbears. There has been almost no controversy over the redirect in for the majority of that time.
While Tardigrade does show up in a google search, the first useful result is a National Geographic article that NEVER actually refers to them as microbears. Neither does the next article from Live Science.
The number of results in these links will probably vary slightly but:
Apparently its more commonly written with a hyphen ("micro-bear") in both cases and if you search that its 3,520 for chipmunk vs 213 for tardigrade.
So if we want to just delete the redirect for not being notable enough at all that would be fine with me, but based on Google results using the term to refer to a Tardigrade is even less common than using it to refer to Chipmunks.
NUXI (
talk) 01:15, 6 February 2023 (UTC)reply
Do you have any realiable or verifiable sources showing that Tardigrades are called Microbears?
The top google results I see are a National Geographic article, which as I previously noted does not ever actually call them that. So that is not a citable source. Neither is the Live Science article which comes next because it also fails to ever actually call them Microbears.
NUXI (
talk) 02:04, 6 February 2023 (UTC)reply
I do not have reliable or verifiable sources for this; it was more of an inference at the time due to tardigrades being a microorganism also being known as " water bears". In any case, none of the sources at those two links are reliable or verifiable either. That shows that this such an incredibly niche nickname that the redirect honestly needs to be deleted based on undue weight.
TNstingray (

Delete - no reliable sources show that this term is used for chipmunks or tardigrades.
SilverTiger12 (
talk) 14:50, 6 February 2023 (UTC)reply
Delete reliable sources do not use this term. Speaking of Boy Scouts, one thing I learned when I was a Boy Scout is that
golden-mantled ground squirrels are not chipmunks (but are often thought to be chipmunks by people who don't know any better). Golden-mantled ground squirrels do
steal food from campers. Are people who use the term "microbear" accurately identifying chipmunks, or just using microbear to refer to any sciurid that steals food from campers?
Plantdrew (
talk) 16:17, 6 February 2023 (UTC)reply
Keep per
WP:CHEAP and sufficient sources to meet
WP:V as an existing, if very niche, term for chipmunks. Reliable sources are not needed for redirects unless they are non-neutral/negative and not clearly established terms. Search engines returning tardigrades for just searching for "microbear" because people often refer to tardigrades as water bears and also describe them as "micro" with various terms (like animal) – not because there are people using the term microbear for them (as an example, search google with a quoted word to mostly force the exact term exists and see all the tardigrade results go away). So us retargeting to that possibly could cause
WP:CITOGENESIS. (As an side, I don't see how this should have ever been discussed via email. Either the redirect's talk page or here is more appropriate.)

Keep Enough sources to keep and doesn't hurt to have it
Delete as misleading. It's not mentioned in the target, and chipmunks are not bears or even in the bear family. They are rodents. This is just Urban Dictionary nonsense.
Softlavender (
talk) 09:45, 1 March 2023 (UTC)reply
Not literally being a bear is not a particularly strong argument. Tardigrades aren't bears either, yet "water bear" is a common name for them. Aadvarks aren't bears, but "ant bear" is still a common name for them. A lot of common names are imprecise. –
Scyrme (
talk) 18:36, 1 March 2023 (UTC)reply
Weak delete The problem with this common name is that it doesn't appear to be all that common. Searching "micro+bear" brings up a load of results for miniature dolls/teddy bears. Searching "microbear" the top result after Wikipedia is Urban Dictionary followed by more results for miniature teddy bears. If this is used by backpackers/scouts, it doesn't seem to be used very often.
The sources above seem to suggest that it is used jokingly (a reference to their, like actual bears, sometimes foraging through things campers leave unattended), not as a serious synonym. All but one of them explicitly explain that "micro-bears" are chipmunks, implying it's not used widely enough for people to assume others already understand what it means. One of them actually uses "micro-bear" to refer to any small animal that forages through unattended belongings (both chipmunks and mice are given as examples). I agree that this is one for Urban Dictionary not Wikipedia.
The strongest argument to keep would be
WP:CHEAP, but the examples given were found by explicitly looking for the term in connection with chipmunks and even then one of them uses it more broadly than that. Given that most of my results were not for chipmunks, I think the case for having this point to chipmunks specifically rather than to another topic is weak. If anything, the primary topic seems to be
miniature teddy bears, but that article doesn't exist. –

Wiktionary-ify? - There is a Wiktionary entry for
minibear with a definition which is an exact match for this term. (link:
minibear) If others feel it would be helpful to have somewhere in the Wiki online ecosystem that explains this term, I could add an entry for "microbear" to Wiktionary using the "synonym of" template. I think it would be more helpful than a redirect on Wikipedia to
Chipmunk since the article doesn't actually use or explain the term "microbear". –

Mx. Granger (

That seems like kind of a stretch to validate this redirect continuing to target this page. In particular, students can potentially earn an achievement by participating in other activities than grades such as extracurricular activities (such as sports or competitions), or participating in clubs and/or societies that a school offers ... which are not particularly related to educational grades/grading.
Steel1943 (

What you're saying is true in principle, but in practice when people talk about "student achievement", they're generally talking about coursework or learning objectives. See for instance section 1.1 of
this source, on the subject of "Defining Student Achievement", which only talks about definitions related to coursework, learning objectives, and exams, not extracurriculars. —

It's probably related to
Christian Torah-submission which was evidently an article before being merged way back in 2007. It seems it's meant as simply a concise way of saying 'submission to the Torah', that is, observing the Old Testament's commandments; the pre-merge article explicitly states that terms “Torah-submission” and “Torah-observance” are synonymous. (link to pre-merge article) The relevant discussions are still

My pre-relist reply covers what it is going for. The original article explains more about the term: Some consider the use of “submission” more accurate because the term “observance” can imply that one successfully observes all commands, which few, if any, claim is possible. It includes a note: The organization, First Fruits of Zion, for example, prefers this term. "First Fruits of Zion" is a a

Retarget adding the proposed anchor. I don't see how the encyclopedia benefits from removing these. Deleting
Rogue Squadron (upcoming film) is fine since the simple (film) dab exists, but what is the upside of this? Redirects are
WP:CHEAP, and someone might remember something about a Rogue Squadron from way back or a Kevin Feige star wars movie from way back and search for it. The proposed target can give them the information they seek. Also, as stated, these are not in active development, which does not mean cancelled. As schedules free up after other projects complete, they have left the door open for revisiting. None of the criteria set forth in
WP:RDEL seem to apply here, but refining with an anchor can get readers there faster. -
2pou (

Yeah, I follow the logic, but what I meant is that "upcoming" can't truly be called misleading yet since it wasn't actually cancelled, only put on indefinite hiatus where the door may be left open for--who knows three years later--it return to return to active development--"upcoming" is still technically true. Regardless, if we want to call that crystal balling, that's fine; like I said, I'm not opposed to disposing of that one since it's overly disambiguated and searchable alternatives remain. -

Extremely ambiguous redirect. The target page does not include tons of Russian airstrikes against Ukraine and there is no discussion for doing so currently, nor should be. The target article is restricted to energy and civilian infrastructure, and this redirect does not reflect that. I don't find it useful in anyway and it should be deleted.

I think that
Orthodox Church (a disambiguation page) would probably be a better target here; I imagine that most people who search for this are looking for one of the Orthodox Churches rather than the application of the phrase "orthodoxy" in Christian contents; if this page is to be a redirect, it would be better targeted towards the dab as such.
There is an article hidden underneath this that was BLAR'd in 2020; I haven't gone through all of the references, but we also may want to simply restore the article rather than retargeting if the refs check out. —
Red-tailed hawk(nest) 19:29, 16 March 2023 (UTC)reply
Retarget. Agreed. "Orthodox Christianity" is a search for a denomination or branch of Christianity, not the concept of orthodoxy more generally. If it were the latter I'd expect the opposite order:
Christian Orthodoxy (this is in-fact already a redirect to the same section). Plausibly, it could be used as an umbrella for Eastern Orthodoxy and Oriental Orthodoxy, that is (reductively),
Eastern Christianity, in contrast to Western Roman Catholicism and Protestantism; I think that possibility could be covered by adding
Eastern Christianity to the "see also" of the disambiguation page. –

I cannot find any reliable sourcing describing chipmunks by the name "microbear". Typing microbear into any search engine results exclusively in information about tardigrades aka water bears, and as such I tried to change the redirect. Apparently this was controversial so here's a new conversation section that should have been an email.
TNstingray (

Keep: Microbear is a common name for chipmunks, I think it may have originated in the Boy Scouts but I'm not sure. I'm also not sure what counts as a reliable source for the non-scientific name of an animal apart from just showing its commonly used.
This came up before and multiple people agreed it was quite commonly used amongst backpackers -
/info/en/?search=Talk:Microbear
By "multiple people", do you mean one additional user and one IP address? I'd say that's pretty far from WP consensus, and rather some variation of an echo chamber based on like-minded interest. Absolutely none of these provided sources are
reliable or
verifiable.
WP:UNDUE may also be applicable, as even if the redirect is kept, it certainly seems more likely to refer to a more accurate target such as
Tardigrade. I'm not part of the early-2000s backpacking community, but I have certainly never heard this as a common name for a chipmunk, and neither has Google Scholar: ("microbear"
[2]: 0 hits, 21 hits for "microbearing(s)"), ("micro bear"
[3][4]: 0 hits, 19 hits for "micro bearing(s)", or "micro-bear" in some sort of chemical/molecular context). I'm definitely overreacting, and I should
assume good faith, but I just found it a little perplexing that a user with ten total sporadic edits
[5] before today since 2009 immediately reverts my
WP:BOLD redirect. That is all.

Sorry, I did not notice that "DS" had made both of the extra citations. (I am obviously jon787 and NUXI, I wasn't trying to imply I wasn't). The only reason I don't have more edits is because im normally too lazy to log in. I mostly just fix minor typos and grammatical mistakes and care little about attribution.
I created the redirect 13 years ago so that novice backpackers could actually look up what people were talking about when they overhead other backpackers talk about microbears. There has been almost no controversy over the redirect in for the majority of that time.
While Tardigrade does show up in a google search, the first useful result is a National Geographic article that NEVER actually refers to them as microbears. Neither does the next article from Live Science.
The number of results in these links will probably vary slightly but:
Apparently its more commonly written with a hyphen ("micro-bear") in both cases and if you search that its 3,520 for chipmunk vs 213 for tardigrade.
So if we want to just delete the redirect for not being notable enough at all that would be fine with me, but based on Google results using the term to refer to a Tardigrade is even less common than using it to refer to Chipmunks.
NUXI (

Do you have any realiable or verifiable sources showing that Tardigrades are called Microbears?
The top google results I see are a National Geographic article, which as I previously noted does not ever actually call them that. So that is not a citable source. Neither is the Live Science article which comes next because it also fails to ever actually call them Microbears.
NUXI (

I do not have reliable or verifiable sources for this; it was more of an inference at the time due to tardigrades being a microorganism also being known as " water bears". In any case, none of the sources at those two links are reliable or verifiable either. That shows that this such an incredibly niche nickname that the redirect honestly needs to be deleted based on undue weight.

SilverTiger12 (

Delete reliable sources do not use this term. Speaking of Boy Scouts, one thing I learned when I was a Boy Scout is that
golden-mantled ground squirrels are not chipmunks (but are often thought to be chipmunks by people who don't know any better). Golden-mantled ground squirrels do
steal food from campers. Are people who use the term "microbear" accurately identifying chipmunks, or just using microbear to refer to any sciurid that steals food from campers?
Plantdrew (

Keep per
WP:CHEAP and sufficient sources to meet
WP:V as an existing, if very niche, term for chipmunks. Reliable sources are not needed for redirects unless they are non-neutral/negative and not clearly established terms. Search engines returning tardigrades for just searching for "microbear" because people often refer to tardigrades as water bears and also describe them as "micro" with various terms (like animal) – not because there are people using the term microbear for them (as an example, search google with a quoted word to mostly force the exact term exists and see all the tardigrade results go away). So us retargeting to that possibly could cause
WP:CITOGENESIS. (As an side, I don't see how this should have ever been discussed via email. Either the redirect's talk page or here is more appropriate.)

Softlavender (

Not literally being a bear is not a particularly strong argument. Tardigrades aren't bears either, yet "water bear" is a common name for them. Aadvarks aren't bears, but "ant bear" is still a common name for them. A lot of common names are imprecise. –
Scyrme (
talk) 18:36, 1 March 2023 (UTC)reply
Weak delete The problem with this common name is that it doesn't appear to be all that common. Searching "micro+bear" brings up a load of results for miniature dolls/teddy bears. Searching "microbear" the top result after Wikipedia is Urban Dictionary followed by more results for miniature teddy bears. If this is used by backpackers/scouts, it doesn't seem to be used very often.
The sources above seem to suggest that it is used jokingly (a reference to their, like actual bears, sometimes foraging through things campers leave unattended), not as a serious synonym. All but one of them explicitly explain that "micro-bears" are chipmunks, implying it's not used widely enough for people to assume others already understand what it means. One of them actually uses "micro-bear" to refer to any small animal that forages through unattended belongings (both chipmunks and mice are given as examples). I agree that this is one for Urban Dictionary not Wikipedia.
The strongest argument to keep would be
WP:CHEAP, but the examples given were found by explicitly looking for the term in connection with chipmunks and even then one of them uses it more broadly than that. Given that most of my results were not for chipmunks, I think the case for having this point to chipmunks specifically rather than to another topic is weak. If anything, the primary topic seems to be
miniature teddy bears, but that article doesn't exist. –

Wiktionary-ify? - There is a Wiktionary entry for

What you're saying is true in principle, but in practice when people talk about "student achievement", they're generally talking about coursework or learning objectives. See for instance section 1.1 of

Rogue Squadron (upcoming film) is fine since the simple (film) dab exists, but what is the upside of this? Redirects are
WP:CHEAP, and someone might remember something about a Rogue Squadron from way back or a Kevin Feige star wars movie from way back and search for it. The proposed target can give them the information they seek. Also, as stated, these are not in active development, which does not mean cancelled. As schedules free up after other projects complete, they have left the door open for revisiting. None of the criteria set forth in

Regardless, if we want to call that crystal balling, that's fine; like I said, I'm not opposed to disposing of that one since it's overly disambiguated and searchable alternatives remain. -
