• Grand Siècle → Louis XIV of France  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

To my mind, neither a good nor appropriate redirect. The redirect term does not even occur once (except for the title of a reference work), and is neither identical or synonymous with nor to be simply reduced exclusively to the target. The latter is a biography, while the redirect lemma denotes a period in cultural history. Hildeoc ( talk) 22:35, 26 April 2019 (UTC) reply

    • Redirect to List of rivers of the Philippines - The Padsan River is a major river with what seems to have been a significant cultural impact over the centuries. I was thinking of expanding it into an article, but was still looking for sources. I'm a bit new to Wikipedia but based on what I've been told, isn't it harder to re-create an article once a redirect article was deleted? Thanks. - Koakaulana ( talk) 00:44, 29 April 2019 (UTC) reply

@ Koakaulana: if there had previously been an article for Padsan River, which was then converted to a redirect and then deleted, we would lose the edit history from the original article. However, if it's only been a redirect, we don't really lose anything. Although if you are actively planning on creating an article, then it's not terribly important for us to delete the redirect since the issue will soon be addressed anyway. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 01:16, 29 April 2019 (UTC) reply

While this is the name of a web publication Spencer founded, I think it's much more likely someone searching for this term is looking for the Alt-right in general.

This is a confusing redirect, and I can't imagine why it points here.

• I am inclined to agree with the nominator. Sincerely, Masum Reza ^☎ 09:21, 27 April 2019 (UTC) reply
• Disambig per nominator. Note that Criminal Court is a film, and needs to be linked from wherever this title leads - either as an entry on a dab page or as a hatnote on any other page, and the film article needs a reciprocal hatnote. Thryduulf ( talk) 11:38, 27 April 2019 (UTC) reply
• Disambiguate. This definitely relates more to Criminal law than Criminal justice, but it can refer to other topics as well, such as International Criminal Court. I considered whether this should be a WP:BCA instead, but Civil court is not an article, but instead redirects to Lawsuit. feminist ( talk) 10:54, 28 April 2019 (UTC) reply
• Disambiguate. There's a clear primary topic, but this topic doesn't really correspond to any article. The best we can do is to create a dab page defining the term (with links to Court and Criminal law), and add an entry for Criminal Court (the film). I've drafted one below the redirect. – Uanfala (talk) 10:53, 5 May 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Hmm, as drafted currently that dab will not satisfy those who maintain dab pages and it's likely going to just get redirected to Court or Criminal law (with a hatnote to the film added at the target), neither of which do a good job for readers using this search term. I can't think of any easy way to fix or improve it either. Thryduulf ( talk) 13:06, 5 May 2019 (UTC) reply
    • Well, if there is consensus here for disambiguating (the dab page has got two valid main entres and four acceptable links overall, so I don't see how that could be easily challenged), then those who maintain dab pages can feel free to reorganise it into whatever format they deem suits the situation best. – Uanfala (talk) 15:06, 5 May 2019 (UTC) reply
      • I agree it should be acceptable but my experience says that it wont be - many of those who work on dab pages prioritise their guidelines for what a dab page should be over what is most beneficial to readers. Thryduulf ( talk) 15:49, 5 May 2019 (UTC) reply

• Spiritualistic research → Mediumship  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

"Spiritualistic research" is not mentioned in the target. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 17:18, 26 April 2019 (UTC) reply

@ Rosguill:I created the " spiritualistic research" redirect, but it can be deleted if you want. I wrote a little text on "spiritualistic research" for the article on " multiverse (religion)", and there seemed to be a need for a seperate main page on the subject. However, it has been decided to choose the " mediumship" page as the main page, although not all mediumship can be characterised as experimental "spiritualistic research". For this reason, and because the mediumship page didn't contain any information on ITC, we (me and a co-editor) also referred to the " Electronic voice phenomenon" page as a second "see also" option. This combination was sufficient for our purpose of referencing on the "multiverse (religion)" page. Therefore, a separate page on "spiritualistic research" was no longer necessary, so I changed it into a redirect, but - like said before - you can remove it if you want. I am only a beginning editor, and didn't know how to delete a page. -- S.w.goedhart ( talk) 19:49, 27 April 2019 (UTC) reply

@ S.w.goedhart: Having read through the articles you linked, my understanding of the situation is as follows: Multiverse (religion) has a section titled "spiritualistic research" referring to research into the properties of the multiverse. However, Mediumship deals with the much broader subject of spiritual mediums, which in most contexts are not really being used in what could be considered a "research" capacity, and it doesn't include the phrase "spiritualistic research". At this time, unless reliable sources can be found that specifically discuss "spiritualistic research" by name, I think we're best off deleting this redirect. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 22:04, 27 April 2019 (UTC) reply

• Deleted, because S.w.goedhart's statement means that we can treat this as speedy criterion G7, author-requested-deletion. S.w.goedhart, for future reference, this deletion doesn't mean that we can't ever have a page by this title again. If you can find solid, reliable sources on the subject of "spiritualistic research", you're welcome to write an article about it, or if they treat spiritualistic research as a sub-topic of something else, feel free to add information about it to our article on the other topic and then re-create this title as a redirect to the other page.

• Delete: No such term exist in Indian law. It's a pun on the term Uniform civil code. --Let There Be Sunshine 07:56, 28 April 2019 (UTC) reply
• I'm leaning Delete. Apart from India, there are a number of uniform codes promulgated by the Uniform Law Commission. Some of the better-known ones are the Uniform Commercial Code, Uniform Gifts to Minors Act and Uniform Trade Secrets Act; a longer list is at List of Uniform Acts (United States). But they don't have one for general substantive aspects of criminal law. There is such a (lower-case) uniform criminal code, but that's the Model Penal Code, promulgated by the American Law Institute. Maybe if there is some evidence that some have referred to the MPC as a "uniform criminal code" it might be worth redirecting there, but I'm leaning no; delete would probably be better. TJRC ( talk) 19:42, 29 April 2019 (UTC) reply
• Comment in google results I'm finding mostly hits about calls for a uniform criminal code, mostly relating to either India or Australia, but also some relating to the US or Mexico. There are also a few results relating to India that are clearly intended to refer to the Uniform Civil Code. It wouldn't surprise me if a notable article could be written about the various Australian proposals and a hatnote on that article pointing to the Indian civil code would be appropriate, but I'm not certain what the best solution is in the absence of that as it's clearly a plausible search term but with no clear target just several that would work as see-alsos or "not to be confused with" entries.

Delete "How is this possible?" you ask. "I thought Wikipedia:Naming conventions (technical restrictions) prevented titles from having #, the number sign, in their titles!" Fear not, knowledgeable Wikipedian, you're not crazy: these redirects actually have ＃, the musical sharp symbol, masquerading as the hashtag-indicating #. But because almost no one has that symbol on their keyboard or knows its ASCII code, these pseudo-hashtag redirects are almost certainly unlinked on the broader internet just as they are here. (Computers are funny that way, requiring an exact match) Allowing them could certainly get very WP:COSTLY. UnitedStatesian ( talk) 02:42, 26 April 2019 (UTC) reply

• @ UnitedStatesian: this has already been discussed previously at ‎Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 October 25#＃MeToo. The thing is that people search for hashtags on WP, and as you know, searching anything that starts with '#' and pressing enter gets you to the main page, which is not the idea. However, try searching "#' in the search bar, and ＃Metoo and other things appear. If you click the link, then you get the page you originally wanted to get to, not the Main Page. So yes, these redirects serve a very useful purpose. Also, when nominating redirects for deletion, try looking in the page history to see if they were previously sent to RfD before nominating the for deletion again. One last thing: when you nominate several redirects at once with the same rationale, group them in one discussion, please. This makes things so much easier.

Give a man a minute, will ya? Sheesh! UnitedStatesian ( talk) 02:56, 26 April 2019 (UTC) reply

Keep all except ＃Metoo, since it was just created to prove it was possible (as seen in L293D's link) and is redundant to ＃MeToo, per L293D. Raymond1922 ( talk) 04:34, 26 April 2019 (UTC) reply

• Keep, on principle, on the basis it works as L293D described. Just a couple of notes. I've deleted #Metoo (created by me as a proof of concept), which I don't think is that useful, as it just pollutes the list. I don't recommend using the ＃ in real article titles. I also think there could be situations in the future where widespread use could become less than desirable. For more on that see the debates about Twitter handles: Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2018_July_12#Twitter_redirects_recently_created_by_R64Q. These specific examples, however, well most of them, are good uses of this feature. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 05:39, 26 April 2019 (UTC) reply
• Delete, highly implausible and prone to causing confusion. Fullwidth characters are comparatively uncommon in English, and using one of them together with halfwidth letters is more unusual, since fullwidth is meant for situations in which halfwidth wouldn't be particularly useful or wouldn't work at all. Combine that with this exceptional usage (how many people would even think of using a fullwidth # to get around this technical limitation?), and the chance of this being typed into the address bar or the search bar is really tiny. What's more, look at the 2018 October 25 discussion — if you do end up at the fullwidth title, you're likely to get confused ("how did this title include a # when most can't?"), or if you find it and you're not aware of # restrictions, you're likely to assume that they can appear in titles and thus be frustrated when they don't work elsewhere. Let's just make things simple — using ♯ and ＃ and any similar characters works (they look like and function like the intended character), so they're a nice idea on paper, but they're disadvantageous to the point that we're better off without them. Nyttend ( talk) 18:06, 27 April 2019 (UTC) reply

  Due to the way that the search box handles characters, it is not necessary to use the full-width in the search box. You just need to type the normal hash character. Also most people wouldn't know about technical limitations - if something begins with a hashtag, they'd expect to be able to type the hashtag into the search box. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 18:30, 27 April 2019 (UTC) reply

  But the problem is that for the search box to work in this way, the redirect has to be created: right now these are the ONLY nine hashtags that appear when # is typed in the search box, and for much more likely # search results to also appear, (#BlackLivesMatter, #NeverTrump, all the others in Category:Redirects from hashtags, etc.), these malformed redirects would have to be created for them too: this is what I mean by WP:COSTLY. UnitedStatesian ( talk) 18:45, 27 April 2019 (UTC) reply

  IMO, 42 pages is not a great cost. But I think a more useful metric might be article titles which would have begun with a hashtag if they could - it's probably fewer but I don't think we have a category. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 19:22, 27 April 2019 (UTC) reply

  Correct, there is no subcat of Category:Restricted titles just for ones that would have the # at the beginning. My sense from sepnding a fair amount if time in this area is that it is actually more, not less, than the number of redirects. UnitedStatesian ( talk) 20:10, 27 April 2019 (UTC) reply

• Keep except for the capitalization variants for sukinanda. The song just uses #sukinanda or the Japanese #好きなんだ AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 18:37, 27 April 2019 (UTC) reply
• Keep because although these redirects do use a pseudo-hashtag, for commonly used hashtags (like #MeToo) where the hashtag name is known possibly even more well than any other alternative name, so readers will search for the hashtag name. If you put in the search bar "#" it will bring up the pseudo-hashtag pages as search results. If editors wanted to link it, then it isn't a big deal to do a copy and paste from the redirect in question. I understand that trying to wikilink it may cause errors if the editor used "#" and not the pseudo-hashtag, but this IMO is not a big enough argument for deleting these redirects (as like I said it isn't much of a big deal to copy and paste a small amount of text).

• Keep per zzuuzz. I had no idea that these pages would come up if you began a search string with a # character. Because this is true, these are definitely plausible and useful. The confusion issue still arises, but because these pages have a clear purpose, I suppose the better solution is to create more of them so that people won't have grounds to be confused.
