• Simon Andrews (motorcycle racer), British motorcycle racer → Simon Andrews (motorcyclist)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Unnecessarily redundant qualifier. Either Simon Andrews (motorcycle racer) or Simon Andrews (British motorcycle racer) would have been okay, but no one is going to search for this title. A previous attempt at speedy deletion by mine was declined, which I found surprising. Dsuke1998AEOS (talk) 21:00, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. I also find that speedy deletion decline (by GB fan) surprising given the edit summary moving it away from this title (by the page creator, 8 minutes after creating it) was "Copied too much from the Disambig page", but it's possible I'm missing something. As someone acting in good faith has stated they don't think this meets the speedy deletion criteria it does not, so listing it here is correct and it shouldn't be speedied now.

• Hee-hee → Michael Jackson  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Per Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2024_December_31#Hee_hee. We really don't need these redirects. thetechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 19:40, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, this could just as plausibly be a redirect to Laughter. 2A0E:1D47:9085:D200:C58E:8E53:4854:F5A7 (talk) 19:47, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per the consensus in the last discussion (this isn't a G4, so don't speedy it) and the IP editor above me - laughter was my first thought (actually I wouldn't object to a retarget there). Thryduulf (talk) 19:59, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • After further consideration and the comments below, I now only support a retarget. Thryduulf (talk) 19:06, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete forms of laughter are too vague to attribute to one specific individual. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 21:49, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to Laughter or perhaps Haha 𝔅𝔦𝔰-𝔖𝔢𝔯𝔧𝔢𝔱𝔞? 22:28, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Just going to point out that heehee is also a redirect to the same article that still exists; consensus for what happens here should apply to that redirect as well. LoTrWiki (talk) 14:36, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Note I've heehee (→ Micheal Jackson) and hee hee hee (→ Haha) to this discussion. He he redirects to a disambiguation page at Hehe, which includes a link to laughter but not Michael Jackson. He-he is a redlink. Thryduulf (talk) 19:06, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Eclipsing Variable star → Binary star#Eclipsing binaries  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Do we really need the non-standard case version, since Eclipsing variable star and Eclipsing variable both exist. Lithopsian (talk) 18:11, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep this is a plausible and harmless alternative capitalisation redirect. Thryduulf (talk) 18:54, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Ngreedia → Satiric misspelling  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Non-mentioned pejorative term for Nvidia, not mentioned in that article either. Xeroctic (talk) 17:24, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: not helpful to readers. thetechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 19:43, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article has other satirical misspellings as redirects that aren't directly mentioned as well, such as "Ru$$ia", for example. Also, it shouldn't be surprising that satirical misspellings are almost always inherently "pejorative" by nature. I don't see that as a problem. It's about the concept, and since "Ngreedia" is a quite frequently used misspelling for a major company, it absolutely makes sense to be redirected to this article when typing it in Wikipedia's search bar. It's a sensible and relevant redirect that should be kept. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maxeto0910 (talk • contribs) 17:30, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You have neither cited any relevant reasoning other than preference nor have you made a vote. thetechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 19:42, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I have cited reasons: It is a frequently used satirical misspelling (numerous hits on Google), so the relevance is clearly given and the target article absolutely makes sense for this to give readers context. And yes, I have made my vote more than clear: "It's a sensible and relevant redirect that should be kept". You, however, have not given any reason as to why you think the redirect would be "not helpful to readers". Also, your reference to Wikipedia:ILIKEIT doesn't make any sense at all as I have not expressed my personal opinion on Nvidia or the misspelling anywhere. Maxeto0910 (talk) 20:43, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

per wp:burden (or at least sort of per it, since it's in a discussion here as opposed to an addition there), you could end this in like 15 seconds by adding a source to the article. as is, people looking for this would end up in an article that has nothing to do with it, making it surprising consarn _{(prison phone) (crime record)} 11:55, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Gehunsdeit → Gesundheit  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Very unlikely triple-misspelling redirect Fram (talk) 15:11, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Same history as below. Delete as improbable, not a single hit on Google. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:21, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Way too improbable 𝔅𝔦𝔰-𝔖𝔢𝔯𝔧𝔢𝔱𝔞? 22:29, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Gehsuendeit → Gesundheit  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I speedy-deleted this as WP:R3, "a recently-created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer", nominated by Fram. Slowking Man has asked me to undelete it and bring it here instead, so here it is. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:09, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, very unlikely misspelling. Fram (talk) 15:12, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as improbable, not a single hit on Google. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:21, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• My argument: it's a foreign-language loanword, with phonemes unfamiliar to non-German speakers; this is attempting to catch people trying to puzzle out a phonetic spelling of the word, when there is only one conceivable answer to what they're attempting to spell. I swear once upon a time I saw something on a project page somewhere saying something like, "Redirects lessen the chance of someone typing something into the Wikipedia search box, hitting "search", and winding up staring blankly at a results page saying 'No results found for X'"—but I can't seem to track it down. Anyway nothing important but that was my intent. --Slowking Man (talk) 00:33, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, this is one way to spell it. My dad used the term all the time and I would say that this spelling is close enough to keep as a redirect. Randy Kryn (talk) 01:43, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, not a realistic spelling error, despite the above assertion, especially in light of JLAN's search. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 16:12, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep this is a perfectly plausible phonetic spelling by someone unfamiliar with German orthography. It's not in the way of anything or otherwise harmful, so there is no benefit to deletion. Thryduulf (talk) 19:14, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  No it's not. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 20:55, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  As someone only passingly familiar with German orthography but is familiar with English people trying to pronounce German words my experience is that this is the sort of spelling someone would attempt. Google results are always going to be incomplete for things like this as very few get written down in any indexable form - they get entered into search boxes, spell checkers and similar but if they then write about it they use the correct spelling they found after using their incorrect search term. So unless you have some sort of evidence to back up your assertion that this is not helpful, WP:R#KEEP point 5 applies. Thryduulf (talk) 21:56, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  This is not how people pronounce this at all, both the placement of the "h" and the "ue" are way off. Fram (talk) 08:16, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Reallly → Really  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

No word in English uses 3 Ls, seems like an unlikely/unnecessary search term. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:03, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete there are a small handful of instances of this typo in talk space, but not every typo needs a redirect and I can't find evidence that this one is more common than the average. Thryduulf (talk) 14:40, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This typo has quite a few hits on Google, which is really all that matters for typo redirects like these. User:Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 05:22, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Looked at this redirect a few times, and for some reason, I keep seeing the word "Reality" (RealIty). Steel1943 (talk) 01:51, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep reduplication of letters is a very common form of typo, and tripling doubled characters is a very common form of that common form of typo -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 03:26, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  There's a limit to what's a useful redirect though. For instance, we don't have redirects for every swap of letters in a word, or a version of every combination of an extra letter in a word. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:33, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You should be addressing Someone-123-321. S/he explains usages for this typo -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 23:10, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A) it's "he" (although I respect people who use singular they and stuff like xe/xem, I am not one of those), B) from now on please use {{TM:Pronoun|insert targetted person's Wikipedia username here}} in situations like these, C) thanks :3 User:Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 09:28, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Someone-123-321 you can actually set that preference in the... preferences. from there, people with certain gadgets (navigation popups my beloved) can see it consarn _{(prison phone) (crime record)} 11:59, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• 2025 Lanka Premier League final → Lanka Premier League  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

No information about the 2025 final at the target, making is misleading for anybody who searches this term and expects to find information. The 2025 article also does not exist, so no valid retarget option from my perspective. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:57, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom and WP:TOOSOON. The 2024 article suggests this year's league won't take place until circa July so it's very unlikely there will be much if anything to say about the final before then. Thryduulf (talk) 14:43, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom and above. Later If, 2025 Lanka Premier League article exists then I would go for redirect and I will change my opinion. Best Regards! Fade258 (talk) 16:18, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• 2025 Gasparilla Bowl → Gasparilla Bowl  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

No relevant information at the target about the event, making it misleading for anybody who searches for the term and expects to find relevant information about the event. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:55, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Retarget – The 2025 Gasparilla Bowl is an upcoming event scheduled for December 2025. Year-specific redirects for annual sporting events are common practice, as they help users looking for information about a specific edition of the event. Even if full details (such as teams or exact date) are not available yet, the redirect serves a useful purpose by guiding users to the main Gasparilla Bowl page, which will eventually be updated with relevant information.

If the main Gasparilla Bowl page is lacking details on the 2025 edition, improving that article would be a more constructive approach rather than deleting the redirect. Alternatively, if necessary, the redirect could be retargeted to a relevant page such as a list of future bowl games. However, outright deletion is unnecessary, as this event will take place, and users searching for "2025 Gasparilla Bowl" should have a direct path to related information. Abhiramakella (talk) 17:57, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Year-specific redirects for annual sporting events are common practice, as they help users looking for information about a specific edition of the event. – Exactly, hence, why when there's no information at the target, it's misleading. If you check my XfD log you'll find hundreds of redirects deleted for this exact season. Sure, improving the article would be great, but it'd make more sense for someone to not repeatedly create misleading redirects when there's no relevant information for a reader to gleam. WP:RETURNTORED to encourage article creation and discourage squatting on redirects. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:41, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:TOOSOON, given that the college football season is still months away. It's also quite unlikely that a specific date and time for the 2025 Gasparilla Bowl has already been announced (if someone has seen a press release, feel free to add a link to it) as the first press release with bowl scheduling typically comes out in the summer. In my view, bowl game articles (or redirects) should not be created prior to the season even starting; mid-to-late October seems much more reasonable. Same would apply to any of the 40+ FBS bowl games that happen on an annual basis. Dmoore5556 (talk) 19:47, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• International Draughts Federation → World Draughts Federation  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This is a separate body from World Draughts Federation (FMJD) which it targets. According to its old website and new website IDF is a breakaway faction of FMJD. In my opinion, it should exist as a redlink to allow creation of a future article, rather than redirecting to a different organisation it no longer associates with. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 12:06, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Chocolate teapot → Teapot#Chocolate teapot  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The target section no longer exists, and the word "chocolate" doesn't even appear in the target article. 2A0E:1D47:9085:D200:A520:4089:C5D3:5942 (talk) 10:56, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Don't delete. This is a well-used redirect that should lead to content somewhere, either we could restore the mention removed in this edit by Викидим without discussion, revert to a stand-alone article or soft-redirect to wiktionary. I think that order matches my preference. Thryduulf (talk) 11:29, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Given that the content has been removed, apparently by consensus, from the Teapot article (see below), my first preference is now a separate article. Thryduulf (talk) 22:35, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I've restored the content at the target page. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:14, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Fair enough. This can be considered withdrawn in that case. 2A0E:1D47:9085:D200:C58E:8E53:4854:F5A7 (talk) 18:47, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I've been reverted; please take a look at the edit summaries and talk page there. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:26, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Slayvillle Metro Line 3 → 1 Train (New York City)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I am pretty sure "Slayville" is a joke but even if it is not I can find no usage of this. Rusalkii (talk) 07:36, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, this redirect and directly related pages appears to be the only use on the internet of "Slayvillle" with three "l"s, and this RfD the only use on Wikipedia of "Slayville" with two "l"s. The latter does get hits on Google, but nothing obviously relevant; "Slayville Metro" gets exactly zero results on Google, while "Slayville" "Metro" does find results but only one of them appears to be actually relevant to that search term - a comedy TikTok about the "M train" (presumably M (New York City Subway service)). Thryduulf (talk) 11:38, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Incidents in the Gaza War → Incidents in the Gaza War (2008–2009)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Not correct target as Gaza War has its own page. Delete. Thepharoah17 (talk) 04:09, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Redirect to Gaza War. This is misleading because the relevance of the 2008-2009 conflict has been superseded by the current one. I₂Overcome ^talk 23:57, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• APT. → Apt  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The only thing "APT." refers to commonly (with both the specific capitalization and the period) is Apt. (song). Other uses either do not have the period (APT (software)) or are not uppercase (abbreviation for "apartment"). Suggest retargeting to the song. Elli (talk | contribs) 03:08, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Week delete, though changing redirect is also acceptable. Looking at the links, this looks like it was probably just a mistake where someone included the period when they didn't mean to. This doesn't necessarily look like it is useful to someone. guninvalid (talk) 06:50, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Not a mistake, I originally created this redirect because the Korean horror film is stylised this way in some sources. Since Apt. redirects to the dab page and not the recent song, I'm inclined to think that things should stay as they are. PC78 (talk) 15:21, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per PC78. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 17:15, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The song is not significant enough to warrant direct redirection. thetechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 19:45, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget (alongside Apt.) to the song. Looking at the all time page views for the similar Apt.[1] and it's very obvious that this redirect was barely used until the song came out, when it experiences a massive spike in views that has stayed pretty high ever since. Additionally, it's the only thing on this list officially known as APT. Finally, while the film Apateu is stylized like this in some sources, the song is stylized like this in the vast majority of sources. It absolutely shouldn't be deleted because, um... it, complete with the full stop, is the official name of the song. Of course it's a likely search term.

• Yahoo!ニュース → Yahoo News  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Yahoo!ニュース, while it may directly translate to Yahoo! News, is a completely separate and unaffiliated entity run by LY Corporation / Yahoo Japan Corporation as the news site connected to its web portal Yahoo Japan. It's not discussed in any of these articles, so the two options are a) add a mention and redirect to one of them b) WP:RETURNTORED as a notable news organization that we really should get an article on someday. (see ja:Yahoo!ニュース for potential) GreenLipstickLesbian💌🦋 01:25, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Seems like it should probably be targeted to Yahoo Japan, maybe to a section for it specifically? (To save reading time for people: Yahoo Japan is a very popular "Web property" in Japan, which began life as a joint venture involving the US-based Yahoo, but eventually got separated off and today has no connection besides the name/trademark.) --Slowking Man (talk) 00:43, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Redirect to a subsection would be a great solution for now - my Japanese vocabulary is v. basic and distinctly animal-focussed or I'd write one myself. GreenLipstickLesbian💌🦋 04:06, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
