History of work
- 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.
- History of work → Work (human activity)#History ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Could refer to various topics at Work, a disambiguation page, which have paragraphs/sections dedicated to their respective histories. However, with that being said, I do not think retargeting to Work is the solution here since the disambiguation page does not disambiguate a "History of work" topic. So ... probably either "listify" (if possible) or "delete". Steel1943 ( talk) 23:39, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- Weak keep as this is the likeliest target IMO despite the potential ambiguity. -

- Keep I think there is very little chance that someone will search for the other pages with "history of work". The sub-bullets under work (human activity) are covered by the same page. The history of work in physics is merely a subtopic of "history of physics" or "history of mechanics", and one would expect to find such information at "work (physics)", not on a separate page. "Creative work" and "work of art" are not referred to by the collective noun "work". Bands, musical works, and people don't have separate "history" items, and most of the entries are partial title matches. Certainly Work (human activity)#History is insufficient for a topic of this importance, but it seems to be the best we have right now. Kk.urban ( talk) 06:50, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

- Job shopper → Employment ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
No idea what this is meant to refer to. It's not mentioned in the target article, and I do not believe Job shop to be an appropriate retargeting option due to its content in relation to the structure of the redirect. Steel1943 ( talk) 23:25, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment This has history as an article, in 2005 it was a single paragraph describing someone I'd probably call a
consultant although I'm not sure that's a perfect match, This
New York Times article from 1964 supports that definition. Google results are mostly describing a person who climbs the corporate ladder by moving from one job/company to the next relatively quickly (I'm sure I've heard a different term for this but I can't remember what it is) and I've not found relevant content here, this is often contrasted with a
jobseeker (an unemployed person looking for work) (
JobSeeker and
Job Seeker may warrant a retargetting discussion of their own).

- Potential competition → Capitalism#Market competition ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
The word "potential" is mentioned nowhere in the target article, leaving it unclear what this redirect is meant to refer and/or differentiate. However, this redirect seems to be a {{
R with history}} as a result of a
WP:BLAR in 2008; the original target was
Monopoly. The redirect is mentioned in
Monopoly, but it does not seem to define this redirect, but rather using the redirect as using "potential" as an adjective to describe "competition" instead (though the redirect is used as a makeshift section header in
Monopoly#Market shares
Monopoly#Other related factors).

- The result of the discussion was retarget to Wage slavery per WP:SNOW. (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris talk! 02:27, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- Wage labor and slavery → Capitalism#Comparison to slavery ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
- Slavery and wage labor → Capitalism#Comparison to slavery ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Not mentioned in target article, and the target section does not exist. The word "slavery" seems to be present nowhere in the target article. Without context, these redirects are WP:XY issues since Wage labor and Slavery are separate articles about separate subjects. (However, the article Wage slavery exists, which may be a viable target.) Steel1943 ( talk) 20:50, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- Retarget both to Wage slavery, as it discusses the intersection of the XY, in the manner expected via the original redirect's nonexistent section name. Lunamann 🌙🌙🌙 The Moooooooniest ( talk) 21:01, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Not mentioned in the target article, leaving the connection between the redirect and the target article unclear. Steel1943 ( talk) 20:47, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- Delete unless someone can figure out who the heck Marciano is. Lunamann 🌙🌙🌙 The Moooooooniest ( talk) 20:57, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. The only connections to capitalism I can find almost certainly originated with this redirect. Google is insistent that I meant Marcionism (an early Christian belief system) but I don't think this is a plausible misspelling that for our purposes. The only other thing I found in search results is a hashtag related to a TikTok series about fishing, but I can't work out what it means in that context either.

fancruft. not mentioned in the target since... i removed it a few minutes ago cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 17:56, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep, and Revert the change mentioned. Peeko is the focus of an early main quest in the Hoenn games, where the player is expected to rescue this NPC Pokemon from a Magma/Aqua grunt. Given this means that nearly everyone who plays through said games will encounter this NPC, I'd say that the NPC's name is an appropriate- and non-crufty- mention in the article, and similarly, an appropriate and non-crufty redirect. Lunamann 🌙🌙🌙 The Moooooooniest ( talk) 20:51, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per above. Peeko definitely has a proper reason to remain as a redirect given it's a rare case of a notable, plot relevant species member. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 ( talk) 23:34, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

poussifeu is torchic's french name. pussifew is an implausible misspelling for anyone more mature than me, though it doesn't actually seem to be vandalism. does rlang apply? cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 17:16, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- I'd say yes, Delete as per WP:RLANG. Pussifew could maybe also slap on WP:RTYPO but I think RLANG already covers it. Lunamann 🌙🌙🌙 The Moooooooniest ( talk) 20:56, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

No mention of the genre anywhere on the re-directed article so it is unclear their relation and the re-direct does not help any reader connect how they got from point a to point b here. Andrzejbanas ( talk) 16:00, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment this redirect exists due to the consensus at
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sword and planet, which followed an earlier
talk page discussion that both concluded that this shouldn't be an article and that
Planetary romance was the most appropriate target for a redirect.

- Keep as per Thryduulf, isn't there a tag for this? R from merge??? In any case, someone should probably head to
Planetary Romance and add a line or two explaining the alternate name, as was suggested in the AfD discussion.

- Change to
Sword and sorcery Based on my research, sword and planet is more related to
sword and sorcery, which makes sense because the name is more similar. This is just a recap of what I said at AFD, and I will respect the consensus either way.
Shooterwalker (

Jclemens (

Should the target of this redirect not be Arthur Orton? "Thomas Castro" is understood to be the name assumed by Arthur Orton when he claimed to be the heir to the Tichborne estates and baronetcy. It would be a textbook usage of {{R from pseudonym}}. Dennis C. Abrams ( talk) 14:50, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- The main author of the Titchborne article, Brian Boulton, died in 2019. Several of his admirers and protégés like me keep an eye on the 100+ articles he took to FA and comment as we think appropriate when changes are suggested.

Random quote created as kind of a soft redirect to Wikiquote.

- Keep. Soft redirects to Wikiquote are a thing and they have community consensus to exist, and this is a properly formatted etc one so the only question is whether this an appropriate example or not. I'm not familiar with the work at all, but given that the quote is not mentioned on en.wp, it is not only mentioned on, but is used as the lead illustration of, the wikiquote page, it gets a lot of Google hits (including in things like memes, making it very likely someone will search for the origin of it) and it is not ambiguous it seems to tick all the boxes for being a useful soft redirect.

- Potential competition → Capitalism#Market competition ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
The word "potential" is mentioned nowhere in the target article, leaving it unclear what this redirect is meant to refer and/or differentiate. However, this redirect seems to be a {{
R with history}} as a result of a
WP:BLAR in 2008; the original target was
Monopoly. The redirect is mentioned in
Monopoly, but it does not seem to define this redirect, but rather using the redirect as using "potential" as an adjective to describe "competition" instead (though the redirect is used as a makeshift section header in
Monopoly#Market shares
Monopoly#Other related factors).

- Slavery and wage labor → Capitalism#Comparison to slavery ( talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/ retarget/ delete ]
Not mentioned in target article, and the target section does not exist. The word "slavery" seems to be present nowhere in the target article. Without context, these redirects are WP:XY issues since Wage labor and Slavery are separate articles about separate subjects. (However, the article Wage slavery exists, which may be a viable target.) Steel1943 ( talk) 20:50, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- Retarget both to Wage slavery, as it discusses the intersection of the XY, in the manner expected via the original redirect's nonexistent section name. Lunamann 🌙🌙🌙 The Moooooooniest ( talk) 21:01, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. The only connections to capitalism I can find almost certainly originated with this redirect. Google is insistent that I meant Marcionism (an early Christian belief system) but I don't think this is a plausible misspelling that for our purposes. The only other thing I found in search results is a hashtag related to a TikTok series about fishing, but I can't work out what it means in that context either.

fancruft. not mentioned in the target since... i removed it a few minutes ago cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 17:56, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep, and Revert the change mentioned. Peeko is the focus of an early main quest in the Hoenn games, where the player is expected to rescue this NPC Pokemon from a Magma/Aqua grunt. Given this means that nearly everyone who plays through said games will encounter this NPC, I'd say that the NPC's name is an appropriate- and non-crufty- mention in the article, and similarly, an appropriate and non-crufty redirect. Lunamann 🌙🌙🌙 The Moooooooniest ( talk) 20:51, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

- Comment this redirect exists due to the consensus at
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sword and planet, which followed an earlier
talk page discussion that both concluded that this shouldn't be an article and that
Planetary romance was the most appropriate target for a redirect.

- Change to
Sword and sorcery Based on my research, sword and planet is more related to
sword and sorcery, which makes sense because the name is more similar. This is just a recap of what I said at AFD, and I will respect the consensus either way.

Jclemens (

Should the target of this redirect not be Arthur Orton? "Thomas Castro" is understood to be the name assumed by Arthur Orton when he claimed to be the heir to the Tichborne estates and baronetcy.

Random quote created as kind of a soft redirect to Wikiquote.

- Keep. Soft redirects to Wikiquote are a thing and they have community consensus to exist, and this is a properly formatted etc one so the only question is whether this an appropriate example or not. I'm not familiar with the work at all, but given that the quote is not mentioned on en.wp, it is not only mentioned on, but is used as the lead illustration of, the wikiquote page, it gets a lot of Google hits (including in things like memes, making it very likely someone will search for the origin of it) and it is not ambiguous it seems to tick all the boxes for being a useful soft redirect.
