The target is not a list, but a DAB of Christian denominations. For example, the DAB does not contain List of Eastern Orthodox churches in Toronto as it is a list of buildings, not of denominations. There is no good retarget.

Therefore, I propose deletion. Veverve ( talk) 14:17, 14 April 2023 (UTC) reply

• Keep the uppercase version per WP:DIFFCAPS. "Orthodox Church" is likelier to refer to a denomination rather than a specific building. No opinion on the lowercase version. - Presidentman talk · contribs ( Talkback) 19:01, 14 April 2023 (UTC) reply

Keep both, for navigational purposes. If people are expecting to find a list of orthodox churches, and we serve them the disambiguation page that lists the various sorts of Orthodox churches, we're serving our reader well with this reasonable search term. — Red-tailed hawk  _(nest) 23:13, 16 April 2023 (UTC) reply

Delete. A disambiguation page is not a list article and is not intended to be used as one; these redirects are misleadling to readers and editors, regarding what a disambiguation is for.

It's not clear whether a searcher wants a list of buildings, a list of autocephalous Churches (eg. Organization of the Eastern Orthodox Church), or a list of denominations. Having them point to different destinations based on case could cause some confusion, and wouldn't resolve all the ambiguity since the autocephalous Churches and denominations often share the use of the capitalised "Church". Additionally, these list redirects are ambiguous because "Orthodox" is itself ambiguous. For example, is someone searching this looking for Eastern Orthodox or Oriental Orthodox C/churches?

The current target would be useless for anyone looking for buildings. As noted by the nominator, the target doesn't link readers to any list articles that might be relevant. (Including, in addition to the Toronto list, List of tallest Eastern Orthodox church buildings, List of Russian Orthodox churches, List of largest Eastern Orthodox church buildings, and perhaps others.) These could be listed under "see also", but that section already has more entries than are listed for disambiguation; better not to add clutter.

All these problems are most easily solved by not having the redirects. The titles should remain vacant to allow uninhibited searching, unless someone wants to volunteer to make an actual list article or at least a list of lists linking the list articles mentioned here. – Scyrme ( talk) 00:35, 17 April 2023 (UTC) reply

The target article is about a Ukrainian prisoner of war who was executed by Russian soldiers. Initially (in the first three days), he was identified as Tymofii Shadura, but later the soldier was identified as Oleksandr Matsievskyi. Now that it's been clarified, redirects regarding Shadura should be eliminated, as this person is not related to the subject of the article. The so many existing redirects are only a product of recentism; had this happened prior to the creation of Wikipedia or had it gotten less attention, probably nobody would have ever created these redirects.

This nomination is also meant to include Execution of Tymofiy Mykolayovych Shadura, Tymofii Shadura, Tymofiy Shadura, Execution of Tymofiy Shadura, Tymofiy Mykolayovych Shadura and Tymofii Mykolayovych Shadura. Super Ψ Dro 18:59, 13 April 2023 (UTC) reply

I think anyone searching for a specific rivalry would type in some variation of the rivalry name (i.e. "Michigan-Ohio State rivalry," "Michigan-Ohio State," "Ohio State-Michigan," "The Game," all of which lead to the football rivalry page either directly or indirectly), and not the nickname some supporters of one school use for the other school. Likewise, anyone looking up info on the generic "college rivalry" would not find it by searching for "the school up north" so a retarget there really does not make sense either.

• While my first choice is still retarget, I would support deletion over keeping at this time as a second choice. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 05:16, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply

• Norph → wikispecies:Chada Norphanphoun  ( talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure:  keep/ retarget/ delete ] 

WP:SSRT notes that only topics with a less-than-encyclopedic scope that are commonly wikified words or that are repeatedly recreated should become soft redirects. Making a cross-wiki redirect here doesn't make sense (this is not commonly wikified nor a repeatedly recreated page), so I propose that this cross-wiki redirect be deleted. — Red-tailed hawk  _(nest) 02:39, 13 April 2023 (UTC) reply

• I created this after realizing that "Norph" (which was discussed at the previous RfD) was actually mentioned in passing on Wikipedia in terms of the mycologist Chada Norphanphoun (who might be notable enough for us per WP:NPROF, based on their Google Scholar profile, by the way). Thus, "Norph" is a legitimate usage and deleting a page about it would cause confusion for anyone trying to look up this person. Pragmatically, however, I also created Chada Norphanphoun as a soft redirect to the same target (since Category:Redirects to Wikispecies) generally lists people by their full names). Thus, I actually propose to retarget to Chada Norphanphoun as a hard redirect to a soft redirect (which IIUC is hardly unprecedented on enwiki). Duckmather ( talk) 19:24, 13 April 2023 (UTC) reply

  That page that you propose we retarget to has been nominated at RfD for similar reasons to this discussion. — Red-tailed hawk  _(nest) 23:04, 16 April 2023 (UTC) reply

I'm striking my suggestion that this person could be notable; see this edit. Basically, each paper listed has tons of coauthors, so the citations/authors ratio is too low. By the way, I still maintain that we should retarget this redirect to Chada Norphanphoun, for the same reasons as before. Duckmather ( talk) 19:34, 19 April 2023 (UTC) reply

• The Wikispecies page only lists the name (Chada Norphanphoun), the abbreviation (Norph.) and the fact that she's a mycologist, all of these are facts that almost any user of the redirect will likely already know. That doesn't make it a good redirect in my view. I'm wondering about the bigger picture too: can Wikispecies entries for taxonomists be expected to grow into encyclopedic articles? should we create redirects for every taxonomist not covered on Wikipedia? – Uanfala ( talk) 13:03, 28 April 2023 (UTC) reply
