May 17

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on May 17, 2024.

Iranian nuclear scientist killed

the redirect is way too specific, and seems almost like a search engine query. Gaismagorm (talk) 20:26, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bannzil Kwéyòl

Literally cannot see why people would search for this and the fact that I cannot find it anywhere in the article makes me want to strongly delete it. The unaccented Bannzil Kweyol will also be nominated for the same reason JuniperChill (talk) 20:15, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism of Apple Inc.

Listing this here for discussion stemming from my glance at its page history. No personal comment on this, but what do you think? Intrisit (talk) 19:41, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Either Delete as per WP:REDLINK, or Retarget to Apple supply chain, with a heavy lean to Deletion. This is an interesting case-- The current target, Apple Inc., is a bad target because it... well, doesn't discuss criticism of the company, or at least doesn't do so in a concise, easy-to-find manner. However, the page that this very redirect has been pointed to in the past-- Apple supply chain-- is too narrow in scope (given it only covers criticism of the supply chain, and not criticism of, for example, Apple's war against Right to Repair, or its removal of the headphone jack on the iPhone 7, or any number of other topics-- and furthermore, the article is in heavy need of a rewrite anyways, it reads more like a screed against Apple rather than an impartial discussion of the topic.

Practices of Apple Inc.

Listing this here for discussion stemming from my glance at its page history. No personal comment on this, but what do you think? Intrisit (talk) 19:41, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Unlike with Criticism of Apple Inc., the current target does a fairly decent job of discussing, at full breadth and appropriate scope, the entirety of Apple Inc.'s practices-- being, everything that the company does. 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 20:21, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2023-24 Major Clubs Limited Over Tournament

Delete to encourage article creation, consistent with 2022–23 Major Clubs Limited Over Tournament. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:02, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Pretty common for these types of redirects to exist and there's nothing stopping someone from starting an article. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:35, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Hey man im josh and the clear fact that this is a future rdr to a title with en-dash(es), like the 2023-24 FA Cup. By the way, the redlinked title the nominator brought up is to me what happens when info on this exist(s) at that/the time and is/are not documented here with sourcing. Just like the 2023–24 Ghana FA Cup, 2023–24 Samartex F.C. season and the 2024 Absa Cup articles which I'll create soon. Intrisit (talk) 19:41, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Boston Incident

This isn't commonly referred to as "Boston incident"; searching the term finds little about the massacre compared to other incidents (such as the 2007 Boston Mooninite panic). In the cases where the massacre is referred to with this term, it's only in a descriptive fashion and not as an actual name. Redirect was created by a quickly-reverted WP:POINTy page move in 2006. Elli (talk | contribs) 02:43, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete one would think the Boston Tea Party or Battle of Bunker Hill would be better -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 03:08, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep - although it seems ambiguous (my first thought was the Boston Marathon bombing) the article on the Boston Massacre notes in the lede that the event is also known as the "Incident on King Street"; "Boston incident" is a plausible misremembering. It's a more neutral title anyway, the article also notes in the lede that calling it a "massacre" was American patriot propaganda. As far as I can tell, the other events listed here aren't widely known as named "incidents". If deleted then don't disambiguate, search results would handle this better.

  • Delete I can't find a primary topic. GScholar results, for example, are split primarily between the current target and the Boston Marathon bombing. When referring to the current target, they seem to be mainly quoting from primary sources. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 15:15, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Telephonics Corporation

Telephonics Corporation is no longer owned by Griffon Corporation. If Telephonics is not sufficiently notable for its own article, the redirect should be deleted. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:44, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Telephonics Corporation has a section at the target article (Griffon Corporation#Telephonics Corporation), which includes a mention of its sale. I'm unsure why this redirect needs to be deleted - even though the company seems to have been sold, this section of the Griffon Corporation article still seems to contain the most information on the company that Wikipedia currently has, and so - in the absence of an article on Telephonics Corporation - seems to be the best target to send readers looking for information on it to.

Jonny cochrane

honestly, i feel like it could refer to both Johnnie Cochran or Johnny Cochrane. Probably even more to the latter since the redirect uses the exact last name. Okmrman (talk) 00:55, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguate with links to both. Traumnovelle (talk) 03:18, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for 2 errors (from whichever target is intended). There's no justification for any further disambiguation: both targets have a hatnote. 16:04, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Shhhnotsoloud (talk)

  • Keep A disambiguation page consisting of nothing but errors is questionable IMO, especially with only two entries. Since both articles appropriately have hatnotes to each other and the lawyer is ultimately more notable, I'm fine with the status quo. As a second choice, go ahead and redirect it to the football manager—the nominator has a point that at least there's an exact match for the surname. --BDD (talk) 19:45, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per Shhhnotsoloud. Two errors away from either potential target is beyond the tolerance of WP:RTYPO, and the double error also introduces an WP:XY issue that a disambiguation, as pointed out, feels like the wrong call to resolve.

PORTIA

Although I see PORTIA (in all caps) mentioned here, I think it makes sense to redirect to Portia (disambig page) instead. JuniperChill (talk) 10:56, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • REtarget to dab page -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 05:45, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This capitalised redirect is correctly targeted and there's a hatnote to other uses. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:37, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doctor (rapper)

Not mentioned in the target article, leaving the connection between the redirect and the target article unclear. Per the edit history trail left by the redirect, the subject of this redirect may have a connection to the subject at Life (Sigma album). Steel1943 (talk) 18:58, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: This redirect previously targeted the page now at Rudeboy (Sigma song), where the sole reference (outside of the infobox and citations) to the rapper was that the song was featuring vocals from British singer MC Doctor (permalink). That page was BLARed in Jan 2023 and now targets Life (Sigma album), which - outside of the tracklist - references Doctor once, in the sentence "Rudeboy" featuring Doctor was released as the album's first single on 15 December 2013. (The reason Doctor (rapper) currently targets Rude boy is because the redirect Rudeboy (song) was retargeted to that article not long after a move, causing a bot to retarget this redirect there as well.)

Pan-American English

I just created it but I'm not sure if it's the best idea. I based it on Pan-American Spanish, but English language has no specific article for all the Americas. Or does it have under another name? --MikutoH talk! 22:21, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, cannot find use as one subject, usually "Pan-American" "English school", nothing about a grouping of varieties. Caribbean English is even considered separate, so the article is purely on the US and Canada. So the redirect not necessary nor representative of the article. I cannot find any wider article, under Category:English language in the Americas, possibly one could be made, so a redirect made then. DankJae 20:01, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jhanak

Redirect with confusing history left over from promotional copy-and-paste moving. A draft of this television show exists at Draft:Jhanak (and has also been created at other titles). Target is one of the networks it has aired on, but has no information on the show at all. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:19, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Desi (Tibetan)

The target doesn't tell me what "Desi" means in the context of Tibet. Is there a better target, or should we delete it if there's no substantive information? Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:28, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The most substantive information I can find is at Dalai Lama, where the term is used several times and briefly defined once as "regent" or "viceroy." I am not sure that would be a suitable target, however, since the discussion is so brief. It might be better to leave as a redlink or perhaps find a more suitable article where a substantive mention could be added (maybe Ganden Phodrang?). - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 14:07, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional musical instruments

Misuse of category redirect. Merged per Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_November_14#Category:Fictional_musical_instruments. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:54, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

D-bar operator

These should presumably go to the same target (note also ddbar lemma). 1234qwer1234qwer4 21:35, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: the operator is somewhat overloaded: the operator might be applied to complex functions in one or several variables, or to complex differential forms. It might be a Dolbeault operator or a Wirtinger derivative, in other words. I think the most helpful target is complex differential form. (Ideally the short section in Cauchy–Riemann equations on the several variables case should also be expanded, but a {{details}} link to complex differential form would anyway be good.) Charles Matthews (talk) 02:51, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Some other relevant pages are Dolbeault cohomology#Dolbeault–Grothendieck lemma and Holomorphic vector bundle#Dolbeault operators. I suspect a disambiguation page may be the best solution. Tazerenix (talk) 04:40, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguate, several operators sharing the same mathematical notation. Ideally, redirect it to a section of the recently made Dbar disambiguation above. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 15:54, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
