Dead body reported

I doubt anyone is searching for Among Us by searching "dead body reported". This redirect does get half a view a day, but I would suspect at least some of these are not searching for Among Us. The term could have some everyday use, though it is weirdly phrased and most google hits are for the game with this specific wording. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 22:10, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Way too vague. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 02:01, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
KeepDelete /edit: the phrase is pretty generic actually, as noted in a comment further below/ per nom who states "it is weirdly phrased and most google hits are for the game with this specific wording" meaning that the phrase is not vague, as it is specific to the game. It being weirdly phrased only means that it is unlikely that it could appear in other contexts. The article almost mentions the phrase when discussing the related game mechanic:Any living player may call a group meeting by reporting a dead body ...
(emphasis mine). The words "Dead body reported" appear in-game on a screen when a "dead body" is reported. There is some memeing activity relating to this phrase. Someone could search Wikipedia to see what the phrase is about when encountering any such meme. So it is a plausible search term. They would then be appropriately redirected to the Among Us article which contains very similar wording, explaining the phrase's origins. The page does get some views. Redirects are cheap.— Alalch E. 09:51, 26 November 2023 (UTC)- Delete per nom. zoglophie •talk• 18:53, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was retarget to List of Five Nights at Freddy's media. There isn't much consensus on which FNAF game is supposed to be the seventh, so retargeting to the general list is likely to be the best solution.

There's no mention of this term in the target. I don't see any reliable sources that call this game by the name "Five Night's at Freddy's 7" either. Pizzaplayer219 Talk Contribs 15:30, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- Weak keep, it is called Five Night's at Freddy's 7 sometimes, and besides there's no term that shares this name. Can be kept. SouthParkFan2006 ( talk) 19:15, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- Retarget to
List of Five Nights at Freddy's media where it is noted that
Ultimate Custom Night is "Often referred to as Five Nights at Freddy's 7.", but those who are looking for Help Wanted (Google finds results for both) will also find what they are looking for.

- True, but googling for the exact phrase produces so many hits that it is clearly correct. Someone who knows the reliability of sources in the topic area should be able to add a citation very easily if desired. Those same results clearly indicate that this is a very plausible search term (the reliability of sources doesn't really matter for this purpose, only their existence).

- As someone in the FNAF community, I don't think I've really heard people use "Five Nights at Freddy's 7"; I can maybe recall a few people using it for Help Wanted in advance of the game coming out ( here's a Game Theory video using FNAF 7 in the title). I'd say either keep or retarget to List of Five Nights at Freddy's media, so anyone can find the game they're actually looking for (or technically a couple books that might be able to be referred to under this title, though that'd be a large stretch). (I don't think we need specifically reliable sources for a redirect, at least when BLP concerns aren't involved – we just need proof that the name was or is in use. Redirects are to aid readers.)

- Delete. Whether it is mentioned in reliable sources is indeed not especially relevant, however it not being mentioned in the article (or anywhere else on Wikipedia) is - someone searching for this term who knows what it means will not find any information at the target, those who don't know what it means will just be confused.

Redirect which name is not a common name to the article it is targeted. Also, the article mentions nothing related to pirates. 2x2leax ( talk) 05:09, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Delete due to no clear relation between pirates and the attacks. Yoblyblob ( talk) 13:59, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep redirects do not have to be the/a common name. Just something that is an alternative name or a useful search term. It seems that the privateers mentioned in our article are also commonly referred to as "pirates" (and my understanding is that the line between pirates and privateers was very blurry at times): [4] (pg 296); [5]; [6]; "In 1740, When Pirates Were Very Naughty." MX. [7]: "The 1740 attempt by English pirates to conquer the Canary Islands is re-enacted at Gran Tarajal on Fuerteventura island. The poorly armed native inhabitants, known as Guanches, repelled the invasion, and the event is now celebrated annually."; [8]. Some of those aren't particularly reliable sources but unless the redirect otherwise violates some policy, I'm not sure I see an argument for deletion. Skynxnex ( talk) 18:28, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:
Is Wiktionary the best target for this redirect? On the talk page User:Error suggested that List of age restrictions might be better, and at Apple Color Emoji the symbol is linked to Age of majority#Age 18. Previous RfDs failed to reach a consensus on the best target (there was consensus that Eirin (the Japanese film rating system) was not an appropriate target) and so it was deleted, it was recreated as a soft redirect following a 2021 deletion review. 18+ redirects to 18 rating. I'm undecided as local targets are generally better than Wiktionary ones but this Wiktionary entry is directly relevant and high quality. Thryduulf ( talk) 18:22, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
- I've just spotted that the page history also has
Minor (law) as another possible target. I'm actually now wondering whether a disambiguation page might be best here?

- First choice target would be Age of majority#Age 18. Second choice List of age restrictions. Third choice this Wiktionary redirect. And failing all else, Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs. I would also suggest courtesy pinging all the editors previously involved in the previous RfD and DRV. Awesome Aasim 18:33, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
- Comment - See also Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2021 August 31 and Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 March 9. If anyone is wondering why they were pinged about this RFD, they may have participated in the DRV or the previous RFD. Robert McClenon ( talk) 18:53, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs. I think attempting to turn this random emoji into something "useful", as if some user is going to type it in looking for information on age of majority or minor (law) is really silly. It's a unicode character, so just redirect to the relevant section on it. — Amakuru ( talk) 19:05, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

- Retarget
18 rating (previous closing admin changes his mind). Thanks
User:Thryduulf for the ping. Re-reading my own words from more than half a decade ago, my closure of the previous RfDs seems to have hinged on the lack of a good target that summarises the idea of "no under 18s". But since then
18 rating was created, which is a good set index for this concept. So I think it makes sense to target there now.

- Equal second choice for me would be Age of majority#Age 18 or wikt:🔞 since these also clearly refer to age 18 restrictions. Fourth choice Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs - I can see a reader copy and paste the character when the character doesn't display correctly on their device, who will find any of these targets more useful than a redlink. Mildly oppose deletion. Deryck C. 12:20, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs doesn't say anything about what 🔞 means.

Error (

20:07, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- If the emojis can be used differently to their "meaning", they clearly have multiple meanings. The most common meaning for 🔞 in my experience is Not safe for work, already listed on Wiktionary, yet that has not even been mentioned here. The proposed 18 rating target on the other hand, is a set index article listing film classification and censorship boards, and I can't say I've come across using 🔞 to mean that.

- Delete or Retarget to Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs. If a user enters an emoji in the search bar, it is unlikely that they want information about the subject. That is, an editor is unlikely to enter 🔞 to get information about anything related to age 18. As per Sandstein, I think that redirects from emoji are stupid.

- As others have said, a user who searches for this probably wants information about the emoji, not general information about age restrictions. So this redirect should target a page about the emoji: either the Wiktionary entry or No symbol#Emoji and other unicode versions. I lean towards keeping the redirect to Wiktionary as it's the most informative about this symbol in particular. — Mx. Granger ( talk · contribs) 16:43, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

- Comment: Deleting this page would make it the only emoji without a redirect on Wikipedia. This is probably why every other emoji redirect discussion brought up this year has concluded in a keep/retarget decision.

Dubious that Self-driving car is the correct WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT target for this page.

- When the page is redlinked, the editnotice shows up when you click the link. So, for example, if someone is wondering whether they should move to page to that title then request deletion there, they might visit it to see the deletion log. Or if they move the page to that title and then edit it to add {{
db-moved}} or {{
db-disambig}} (or if someone else does), the editnotice will show up. I don't think it would "never" work — or that it needs to always work. I would support salting the page as you suggested.

- I think that could be done with a (template-protected) edit to Module:Requested move at line 406 (test edits: delinking the title in an RM, sandboxing suggested template change, testing sandboxed change). I don't think it would cause any error with User:RMCD bot, but WP:RMC would still show it as a link unless the bot were changed. Pinging @ Wbm1058 who operates said bot.

- SALT the solution to prevent people from moving stuff here is to salt the pagename -- 65.92.247.90 ( talk) 06:12, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
- Delete and salt, obviously. This is a matter of a procedure spun out-of-control while I wasn't paying attention. Now it will take more time and effort to clean up the wreck. A redirect-for-discussion isn't the ideal place for discussing RM procedures, but, in a nutshell, WP:EXPLICIT was added to better deal with cases where a topic such as Cricket is pulled off of primary topic status (because it's not clear whether the sport or Cricket (insect) should be primary topic). The implied move which should be explicitly stated is Cricket (disambiguation) → Cricket. WP:EXPLICIT didn't really account for the inverse scenario, in which Cricket (sport) would become PT and move to Cricket. In this case, the opposite move is implied, Cricket → Cricket (disambiguation). User:SilverLocust made a 1 August 2023 edit to clarify this, which apparently wasn't sufficient clarification, because it was followed by the addition of bad advice, which I've reverted. WP:CSD#G14 deletion of unnecessary disambiguation pages is a separate matter of page deletion, not page moving. Consensus via discussion is not necessary to make these speedy deletions. – wbm1058 ( talk) 14:45, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

- Delete and salt – I'm pretty lenient on cross-namespace redirects, but this is not a useful one for readers. If the only reason this exists is to prevent accidentally moving a page here, I don't think an XNR is a good solution, especially when salting is good enough for non-admins; in addition, I think most editors likely to accidentally create this page would be page movers, so that deals with the most problematic group.

I doubt anyone is searching for Among Us by searching "dead body reported". This redirect does get half a view a day, but I would suspect at least some of these are not searching for Among Us.

KeepDelete /edit: the phrase is pretty generic actually, as noted in a comment further below/ per nom who states "it is weirdly phrased and most google hits are for the game with this specific wording" meaning that the phrase is not vague, as it is specific to the game. It being weirdly phrased only means that it is unlikely that it could appear in other contexts. The article almost mentions the phrase when discussing the related game mechanic:Any living player may call a group meeting by reporting a dead body ...
(emphasis mine). The words "Dead body reported" appear in-game on a screen when a "dead body" is reported. There is some memeing activity relating to this phrase. Someone could search Wikipedia to see what the phrase is about when encountering any such meme. So it is a plausible search term. They would then be appropriately redirected to the Among Us article which contains very similar wording, explaining the phrase's origins. The page does get some views.

- As someone in the FNAF community, I don't think I've really heard people use "Five Nights at Freddy's 7"; I can maybe recall a few people using it for Help Wanted in advance of the game coming out ( here's a Game Theory video using FNAF 7 in the title). I'd say either keep or retarget to List of Five Nights at Freddy's media, so anyone can find the game they're actually looking for (or technically a couple books that might be able to be referred to under this title, though that'd be a large stretch). (I don't think we need specifically reliable sources for a redirect, at least when BLP concerns aren't involved – we just need proof that the name was or is in use. Redirects are to aid readers.)

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:
Is Wiktionary the best target for this redirect? On the talk page User:Error suggested that List of age restrictions might be better, and at Apple Color Emoji the symbol is linked to Age of majority#Age 18. Previous RfDs failed to reach a consensus on the best target (there was consensus that Eirin (the Japanese film rating system) was not an appropriate target) and so it was deleted, it was recreated as a soft redirect following a 2021 deletion review. 18+ redirects to 18 rating. I'm undecided as local targets are generally better than Wiktionary ones but this Wiktionary entry is directly relevant and high quality. Thryduulf ( talk) 18:22, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Minor (law) as another possible target. I'm actually now wondering whether a disambiguation page might be best here?

- First choice target would be Age of majority#Age 18. Second choice List of age restrictions. Third choice this Wiktionary redirect. And failing all else, Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs. I would also suggest courtesy pinging all the editors previously involved in the previous RfD and DRV. Awesome Aasim 18:33, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

- Redirect to Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs. I think attempting to turn this random emoji into something "useful", as if some user is going to type it in looking for information on age of majority or minor (law) is really silly. It's a unicode character, so just redirect to the relevant section on it. — Amakuru ( talk) 19:05, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

18 rating (previous closing admin changes his mind). Thanks
User:Thryduulf for the ping. Re-reading my own words from more than half a decade ago, my closure of the previous RfDs seems to have hinged on the lack of a good target that summarises the idea of "no under 18s". But since then
18 rating was created, which is a good set index for this concept. So I think it makes sense to target there now.

- Equal second choice for me would be Age of majority#Age 18 or wikt:🔞 since these also clearly refer to age 18 restrictions. Fourth choice Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs - I can see a reader copy and paste the character when the character doesn't display correctly on their device, who will find any of these targets more useful than a redlink.

- If the emojis can be used differently to their "meaning", they clearly have multiple meanings. The most common meaning for 🔞 in my experience is Not safe for work, already listed on Wiktionary, yet that has not even been mentioned here. The proposed 18 rating target on the other hand, is a set index article listing film classification and censorship boards, and I can't say I've come across using 🔞 to mean that.

- As others have said, a user who searches for this probably wants information about the emoji, not general information about age restrictions.

Dubious that Self-driving car is the correct WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT target for this page.

So, for example, if someone is wondering whether they should move to page to that title then request deletion there, they might visit it to see the deletion log. Or if they move the page to that title and then edit it to add {{

- I think that could be done with a (template-protected) edit to Module:Requested move at line 406 (test edits: delinking the title in an RM, sandboxing suggested template change, testing sandboxed change). I don't think it would cause any error with User:RMCD bot, but WP:RMC would still show it as a link unless the bot were changed. Pinging @ Wbm1058 who operates said bot.

- Delete and salt, obviously. This is a matter of a procedure spun out-of-control while I wasn't paying attention. Now it will take more time and effort to clean up the wreck. A redirect-for-discussion isn't the ideal place for discussing RM procedures, but, in a nutshell, WP:EXPLICIT was added to better deal with cases where a topic such as Cricket is pulled off of primary topic status (because it's not clear whether the sport or Cricket (insect) should be primary topic). The implied move which should be explicitly stated is Cricket (disambiguation) → Cricket. WP:EXPLICIT didn't really account for the inverse scenario, in which Cricket (sport) would become PT and move to Cricket. In this case, the opposite move is implied, Cricket → Cricket (disambiguation). User:SilverLocust made a 1 August 2023 edit to clarify this, which apparently wasn't sufficient clarification, because it was followed by the addition of bad advice, which I've reverted. WP:CSD#G14 deletion of unnecessary disambiguation pages is a separate matter of page deletion, not page moving. Consensus via discussion is not necessary to make these speedy deletions. – wbm1058 ( talk) 14:45, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

- Delete and salt – I'm pretty lenient on cross-namespace redirects, but this is not a useful one for readers. If the only reason this exists is to prevent accidentally moving a page here, I don't think an XNR is a good solution, especially when salting is good enough for non-admins; in addition, I think most editors likely to accidentally create this page would be page movers, so that deals with the most problematic group.
