This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on March 3, 2024.
Can be used in many contexts, and the current target never says "not real" at any point. Unreality disambiguation discusses several options which are infinitely more suitable from my perspective, i.e. derealization, an r from antonym to the reality, or just going to the disambig page if it has to, if anywhere at all. It's impossible to pin down a target I'd think.
Also fiction is still... real. Fiction, exists. (at least its REAL to ME 🥺). Anyway, this baffles.

The article for GameSpy currently links to Wiimmfi, which then links to Mario Kart Wii#Legacy, a subsection that doesn't exist. Nowhere in the current Mario Kart Wii article does Wiimmfi ever get mentioned. Either a proper article for Wiimmfi should be made, or this redirect should be deleted and the link to it from GameSpy should be removed.

Request to delete this redirect. Checking through the page history of the target page, it seems the editor who moved the article to the now-redirect title was put off after discovering the Paramount Television Studios (PTS) article that it may have a link to the target's actual name (TIS) when a reputable source in-page actually reveals the contrary. PTS doesn't have or never had any international division since formation as their output is rather/instead handled by Paramount Global Content Distribution. Intrisit ( talk) 19:00, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
A bundle of pages missing parenthesis after their disambiguation. In all of these cases, there is an identical version to this title, plus a closing parenthesis, that already exists. These redirects' entire histories have existed as just redirects, without any past content. Pageviews for all of these titles are low according to massviews. These titles are all implausible due to the missing parenthesis, cannot be predicted to exist, and will not be sought normally. Utopes ( talk / cont) 18:08, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
[r]edirects take up minimal disk space and use very little bandwidth; therefore,
it doesn't really hurt things if there are a few of them scattered around. WP:RDAB & WP:UNNATURAL do not explain why these redirects are costly enough to warrant deletion. (To be clear, I'm not proposing the creation of
an extra redirect for every single pagehere - just that the ones that already exist don't need to be deleted.) All the best, — a smart kitten[ meow 10:19, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
[t]here is no need to redirect from. To me, this doesn't explain why the listed redirects are costly or warrant deletion - just that, in the opinion of the essayist, these redirects don't need to be created in the first place. However, that is a very different thing to deciding to delete a redirect that already exists - which, as far as I can see, the essay doesn't provide any reason to do. (I would argue that part of WP:COSTLY actually argues in favour of keeping these particular redirects - Wikipedia:Redirects are costly § Incoming traffic is cheap notes that
[o]ne valid reason for retaining an older redirect is that it is linked to from outside Wikipedia.) All the best, — a smart kitten[ meow 22:50, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

to the lead now, but we should probably reword the article to make it cover both / all 3 terms better than being an article about MENA that happens to mention the less Eurocentric terms. —

This page was created as a duplicate of Reminisce (rapper), containing only the first sentence of this article from its previously POV-heavy state at the time, having been tagged as "written like an advertisement". In any case, the edit was immediately reverted and converted into a redirect before an hour had passed in its existence. The missing parenthesis makes this an implausible title to refer to the subject. Utopes ( talk / cont) 17:58, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Redirect missing a closing parenthesis. The page history contains an identical copy of the Robbery Under Arms (1943 radio adaptation) contents, which was created at the typoed title unintentionally. The article here was created in one edit, and converted into a redirect with the next. The lack of the closing parenthesis makes this title an unlikely term for the subject. Utopes ( talk / cont) 17:51, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
An acid redirect that is missing the closing parenthesis. This issue has since been fixed, as there is now a correct version in existence at Nitrilotris(methylenephosphonic acid). Still though, the remaining search term is unlikely to be referred to with the unclosed brackets. Utopes ( talk / cont) 17:46, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Feels like an implausible way to search for this album specifically, as well as an impractical way to search for anything of the type generally. If there were something else in front, a listing like Number Two, Part Two, Volume Two would work well enough as a new target, which the album could then potentially also be added to... but there isn't. Absent such a something, 2 (disambiguation) would be the closest equivalent, but using that seems pointless at best. The most useful thing that occurred to me is that "2 of 2" is commonly written as " 2/2", as there happens to already be a dab page there, which could be broadened. None of the current entries really use it in a sense close to this one, though, so the match would be on the clumsy side of things. FWIW, I also looked for corresponding redirects at 3 of 3 thru 9 of 9 in hopes of a nice precedent, and didn't find any, but drew the line at trying number pairs like 2 of 3. Obviously some are going to exist due to having some special significance, such as 7 of 9, but I doubt there's anything to be gleaned there... - 89.183.221.71 ( talk) 17:21, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

This can be confused with the entirely unrelated game Oink! (video game) as the terms "computer game" and "video game" are used almost interchangeably. There is not much to say about the game Oink! in the Beagle Bag collection as it is, and this redirect has no incoming links. Retarget to Oink! (video game). JIP | Talk 18:54, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
