Keep per EurekaLott. Fill in the blank: the reader who searches up pandas most likely wishes to go to ...The hatnote is there for the minority, which seems like it could be sizeable -- but it's dwarved by the primary use. J947 † edits 02:28, 23 April 2023 (UTC)reply

I'll add an amplification and expansion of Shhhnotsoloud below:
WP:PLURALPT links the destination of the plural redirect to the singular. If the desire is to redirect the plural somewhere else, then the singular should also be redirected. -
UtherSRG(talk) 02:31, 24 April 2023 (UTC)reply
Keep. There is no reason to divert from
WP:PLURALPT: "the normal situation is that a plural redirects to its singular".
Shhhnotsoloud (

Comment - though perhaps we should amend that to say "...to its singular or the destination its singular redirects to" to be clearer. -

Keep, seems like a useful redirect.

Retarget to Panda (disambiguation) - "pandas" could also refer to red pandas as well as giant pandas, among other things, so there is no clear primary topic.

Retarget to
Panda (disambiguation) for the fact alone that
Pandas (software) has grown in notability to a point where it could rival the plural
panda word. I guess a good comparison would be the situation with
Windows: Sometimes, the plural of a word could refer to another notable topic.
Steel1943 (

Keep per
WP:PLURALPT. Gonna need some evidence if people want to claim that
Pandas (software) is popular or notable enough to put the primary topic in question –
Microsoft Windows gets two orders of magnitude more hits and isn't in any way a useful comparison!

And also:
giant panda gets 6 times the hits of
window, although the latter is used in the plural form a higher individual percentage of the time. J947 † edits 00:16, 29 April 2023 (UTC)reply

Keep. I don't see what the problem is. This is an R from misspelling and is applicable to most if not all entries at the current target. The request at the talk was to redirect to the doll or disambiguate, and I think
User:BlazerKnight's (he's not with us anymore) decision to retarget to the dab was proper. Jay 💬 13:37, 22 April 2023 (UTC)reply
Keep: It is a misspelling not just for "Matryoshka" but also for some of the other, differently spelt terms that are disambiguated at the target dab page, like
Matroesjka's or
Matroska. –

In my mind, the question is, does it help the reader get to an appropriate article that gives information about what the reader was searching for? This Latin title is the name of the book that the reader is likely to see, or they may copy it off the image of the book cover, and it does bring them to an article where it is relevant. Had they
searched on Commons, they would have ended up with an image of the book cover, and a dead end, but it's much more likely they'll search at Wikipedia. Although there is not yet much about the book there, it is mentioned (in red-linked English and Hungarian) and is the logical place to send readers, for now, until that red link gets expanded and someone writes the article.
Depending how determined they are as a searcher, if they want more info about the book, the interlanguage link provides a link to the Hungarian article about the book. Given that the redirect is the en-wiki reader's best path to getting the information they want, it seems like an appropriate use of the feature to me. The fact that the English part of the {{
interlanguage link}} is still red because we don't have the article (yet) but hu-wiki does, is only incidental to that, and does not stand in the way of getting the reader to the best content for their search.
Mathglot (

P.S., I've added another redirect—this one—with the 'V's switched to 'U's, as the reader might type it that way if they're familiar with
later developments in the Latin alphabet. This is tacked on to the header at the top, and should also be deleted if the original redirect results in "delete".
Mathglot (

Keep. The interlanguage link provides a good link to the Hungarian article which is the best we've got.

Delete. Redirect is a game that doesn't seem to have anything to do with the game it redirects to. "Air Battles: Sky Defender" is a game by Pilot Entertainment and Wild Hare Entertainment according to
GameSpot and
GameSpy. Battle of Britain II: Wings of Victory is a game by A2A Simulations, Tri Synergy, and GMX Media. Only similarity seems to be the fact that they are flight simulations games from the mid-2000s.

Pelmeen10, this redirect is effectively an {{
R from move}}, as it appears to have been the title of the target article between November last year and the day before you started this discussion. I don't think it's likely there would be consensus for deletion now, but that would be much easier to achieve once the other list article is created and the redirect
becomes ambiguous. Would you like to withdraw this nomination now and then start a new one once the situation changes? –

Delete as it can be misleading. Whoever types "List of J1 League football transfers 2023" is currently being redirected to the winter transfer article. But, the former content of the list was supposed to cover the whole year. Personally, i don't think anyone would actually purposely type "List of J1 League football transfers 2023" at all. Previous seasons always utilized the winter and summer as separate articles, so i believe this redirect is of little to no use or importance. ~~

In 11 April 2023, a video showing the beheading of a living Ukrainian soldier was released in pro-Russian media. His identity was unknown (and I chose this title for the article believing it would stay that way) and the date of his murder was too, but it was assumed to be the summer of last year. Turns out however that yesterday it was revealed that the soldier was Szerhij Pataki and that he was murdered actually in March 2023. So, this title is now inaccurate.

Keep per
K4 – {{
R from move}}s should not be deleted without good reason: it's redirect policy. In this case, the redirect looks to have indeed accumulated views stemming from old sites linking to this old title. In fact, this redirect
has received thrice as many pageviews as it's current target. Deletion would evidently be harmful. J947 † edits 02:19, 23 April 2023 (UTC)reply
The uppercase redirect was initially pointed at Pine Bowl (stadium) before the article was merged to
DeGol Field. After the merge yesterday, it is currently being pointed to
Pine Bowl. Therefore it is not appropriate to compare the pageviews to the current target.
The uppercase version was linked 18 other articles on wiki before I have done the clean up (see my user contributions (
API output)). Though the traffic is similarly low on these 18 pages, there will always be people clicking through these 18 pages. If the pageviews of the redirect is significantly higher, I might buy the argument that there are external/old sites linking this redirect directly.
If the redirect had pointed to
Pine Bowl the whole time, the 3–to–1 split for be extremely unlikely as a view on the redirect effectively results in a view on the dab page. The point was not that, but that this redirect is actually a more useful navigational aid than
Pine Bowl
While internal links do account for some, probably most, of the views, per
this backlink checker there are 29 external links pointing to this redirect. I suggest, per policy, that it's a safer decision to keep this redirect than to run the risk of breaking links.
Keep. I'm all for getting rid of redirects for non-standard forms in the disambiguator, but not when there are any reasons to keep. Having been the title of an article (in this case, between 2015 and 2020) is one of the strongest reasons to keep a redirect and usually outweighs much worse problems with the redirect than odd capitalisation. Fixing the incoming wikilinks was great, regardless of what happens to this redirect, but the external links we have not control over. –

I just started updating
Discworld (world) and was trying to reference and link to Cheery Littlebottom assuming she'd also have an entry in
Ankh-Morpork City Watch after I saw the one on Captain Carrot. I was annoyed to learn it was empty and just redirected back there via see also. When I checked to see if she had a standalone article I saw the redirect and discussion here. I think the redirect should be pointed to
Ankh-Morpork City Watch#Sergeant Cheery Littlebottom and, since it's currently empty, that subsection be significantly expanded so it doesn't just two step redirect you to

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:
Target term not mentioned in the article; the title could refer to any of various sex acts that involve genitals. A

Keep. Plausible search term. Primary sexual characteristics mentioned at target page include anatomy of internal/external genitalia, which "genital sex" seems to be used for; see
Google Scholar search results with certain partial matches omitted. —
Sangdeboeuf (

Comment: disambiguation is used when a term is mentioned at multiple target pages. Search results for
"genital sex" show the phrase being used for either sexual characteristics, as above, or for sexual intercourse. However, Sexual intercourse does not use the phrase "genital sex", so a disambiguation link to that article wouldn't be very helpful. —

Retarget to
Sexual intercourse, largely per User:Jay. Came into this assuming I'd vote for some kind of disambig because it can refer to more than one thing, but if you trust major search engines to do their job properly, the overwhelming tendency is to bring up articles related to sexual activity, rather than different types of sex characteristic determiners; I was surprised how lopsided it was. In Google web search, it wasn't until result #11 that I found anything that wasn't related to sexual activity, whether intercourse or other types.
Mathglot (
talk) 05:11, 29 April 2023 (UTC)reply
The problem with basic search engine results is that they return both reliable and unreliable sources, whereas Wikipedia should reflect usage by just the most reliable ones. Partial title matches like
"oral–genital sex" can bias the search results as well. —
Sangdeboeuf (
talk) 08:51, 15 May 2023 (UTC)reply
Disambiguate (drafted). Two-item DABs aren't ideal, and two-item DABs where the term isn't explicitly used at either target are even less ideal, but I think that would be the least worst option here, better than an {{
r without mention}} that would necessitate a hatnote for an unlikely search term. --
Tamzincetacean needed (she|they|xe) 05:31, 15 May 2023 (UTC)reply
I'd support this option compared to a redirect to Sexual intercourse. If there is sufficient mention of "genital" at both targets then why pick one? —

In my mind, the question is, does it help the reader get to an appropriate article that gives information about what the reader was searching for? This Latin title is the name of the book that the reader is likely to see, or they may copy it off the image of the book cover, and it does bring them to an article where it is relevant. Had they
searched on Commons, they would have ended up with an image of the book cover, and a dead end, but it's much more likely they'll search at Wikipedia. Although there is not yet much about the book there, it is mentioned (in red-linked English and Hungarian) and is the logical place to send readers, for now, until that red link gets expanded and someone writes the article.
Depending how determined they are as a searcher, if they want more info about the book, the interlanguage link provides a link to the Hungarian article about the book. Given that the redirect is the en-wiki reader's best path to getting the information they want, it seems like an appropriate use of the feature to me. The fact that the English part of the {{
interlanguage link}} is still red because we don't have the article (yet) but hu-wiki does, is only incidental to that, and does not stand in the way of getting the reader to the best content for their search.

P.S., I've added another redirect—this one—with the 'V's switched to 'U's, as the reader might type it that way if they're familiar with

Keep per
K4 – {{
R from move}}s should not be deleted without good reason: it's redirect policy. In this case, the redirect looks to have indeed accumulated views stemming from old sites linking to this old title. In fact, this redirect
has received thrice as many pageviews as it's current target. Deletion would evidently be harmful. J947 † edits 02:19, 23 April 2023 (UTC)reply
The uppercase redirect was initially pointed at Pine Bowl (stadium) before the article was merged to
DeGol Field. After the merge yesterday, it is currently being pointed to
Pine Bowl. Therefore it is not appropriate to compare the pageviews to the current target.
The uppercase version was linked 18 other articles on wiki before I have done the clean up (see my user contributions (
API output)). Though the traffic is similarly low on these 18 pages, there will always be people clicking through these 18 pages. If the pageviews of the redirect is significantly higher, I might buy the argument that there are external/old sites linking this redirect directly.
If the redirect had pointed to
Pine Bowl the whole time, the 3–to–1 split for be extremely unlikely as a view on the redirect effectively results in a view on the dab page. The point was not that, but that this redirect is actually a more useful navigational aid than
Pine Bowl
While internal links do account for some, probably most, of the views, per
this backlink checker there are 29 external links pointing to this redirect. I suggest, per policy, that it's a safer decision to keep this redirect than to run the risk of breaking links.
Keep. I'm all for getting rid of redirects for non-standard forms in the disambiguator, but not when there are any reasons to keep. Having been the title of an article (in this case, between 2015 and 2020) is one of the strongest reasons to keep a redirect and usually outweighs much worse problems with the redirect than odd capitalisation. Fixing the incoming wikilinks was great, regardless of what happens to this redirect, but the external links we have not control over. –

Comment: disambiguation is used when a term is mentioned at multiple target pages. Search results for
"genital sex" show the phrase being used for either sexual characteristics, as above, or for sexual intercourse. However, Sexual intercourse does not use the phrase "genital sex", so a disambiguation link to that article wouldn't be very helpful. —

Retarget to
Sexual intercourse, largely per User:Jay. Came into this assuming I'd vote for some kind of disambig because it can refer to more than one thing, but if you trust major search engines to do their job properly, the overwhelming tendency is to bring up articles related to sexual activity, rather than different types of sex characteristic determiners; I was surprised how lopsided it was. In Google web search, it wasn't until result #11 that I found anything that wasn't related to sexual activity, whether intercourse or other types.
Mathglot (

The problem with basic search engine results is that they return both reliable and unreliable sources, whereas Wikipedia should reflect usage by just the most reliable ones. Partial title matches like
"oral–genital sex" can bias the search results as well. —

Disambiguate (drafted). Two-item DABs aren't ideal, and two-item DABs where the term isn't explicitly used at either target are even less ideal, but I think that would be the least worst option here, better than an {{

Well, I went for Sexual characteristics as the primary, and did justify it using reasons based in policy, sources, and common sense as per
WP:CONSENSUS. So in the absence of a counter-argument in favor of Sexual intercourse as the target, the term should not redirect there. —

I went by Mathglot's argument and thought it was good as the justification. But, now I see why different people may think their choice is the primary. I have changed my vote. Jay 💬 15:32, 18 May 2023 (UTC)reply

Not mentioned in the target article, leaving the connection between the redirect and the target article's subject unclear.

Keep and add in a {{
efn}} footnote on "War of Resistance" (which is listed in the article's lead as a synonym). This is the pinyin transcription of the Chinese term
抗戰 meaning "War of Resistance".
