April 3

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on April 3, 2016.

She-goats

The target doesn't discuss female goats separately from males, while this redirect implies content specific to females. Also, females are more properly called nannies or does. Unless there is a female-specific target, deletion is probably the best option.

Also nominated: She goat and She goats. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 23:35, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Imelda (criminal)

This is a batch of newly created redirects to Imelda Marcos. They have no incoming links. This is apparently an attempt to predict that people will type in random non-existent (disambiguators), after multiple unanimously-opposed attempts to move Imelda Marcos over the disambiguation page Imelda. Alsee (talk) 21:35, 3 April 2016 (UTC) Alsee (talk) 21:35, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (criminal) and (politician), as these are how Marcos is commonly seen and hence are potentially useful for auto-complete ("Imelda politician" works nicely), they also inform at least Google's search engine. Delete the others. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 00:40, 4 April 2016 (UTC).[reply]

Grammar Nazis

Unneeded pejorative connection of grammar prescriptivists to Nazis. Dicklyon (talk) 19:11, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:INTERNET

Misleading redirect. The internet and world wide web are not the same thing, as described in our own articles about those subjects. I am aware that those terms are often erroneously used interchangeably due to confusion, but redirects like this only serve to promote such confusion. Adam9007 (talk) 18:45, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's not our job to police the back room use of terms, though we might strive for such accuracy in content pages.
All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 00:13, 4 April 2016 (UTC).[reply]
This is an encyclopaedia, the purpose of which is to present facts, not misinformation, however it's presented. This redirect implies the internet and the web are the same thing, which they are not, as you have said yourself. Adam9007 (talk) 01:56, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Scott Brophy

Subject was a NN amateur youth hockey player deleted at AfD nearly a decade ago for failing WP:NHOCKEY and the GNG. Recreated as a redirect to a long-defunct amateur hockey team by the infamous Dolovis, who was responsible for the creation of thousands of NN stubs and spurious redirects, and was banned by the community from new article creation and the revdel process. Improbable search term, and beyond that an inaccurate one: what makes this a more valid redirect target than the Gatineau OlympiquesorSt. Mary's University, for which Brophy not only also played, but played in more games than for the Fog Devils? Ravenswing 13:13, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wes Welcher

Subject was a NN amateur youth hockey player deleted at AfD nearly a decade ago for failing WP:NHOCKEY and the GNG. Recreated as a redirect to a long-defunct amateur hockey team by the infamous Dolovis, who was responsible for the creation of thousands of NN stubs and spurious redirects, and was banned by the community from new article creation and the revdel process. Improbable search term, and beyond that an inaccurate one: what makes this a more valid redirect target than the Moncton WildcatsorSt. Thomas University, for which Welcher also played? Ravenswing 13:01, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Files for deletion

Deletion revision

Andhra Pradesh AC SF Express

The target of this redirect is about a different subject than the redirect. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 04:50, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Visakhapatnam – New Delhi AP Express was moved to Andhra Pradesh AC SF Express which was an irrational move as these two trains are altogether different. I just reverted the move, so Andhra Pradesh AC SF Express ends up being redirected to Visakhapatnam – New Delhi AP Express.  LeoFrank  Talk 05:02, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Barnsley F.C. Current Season

Deletion preferable as this obscure redirect would have to be updated every year (and only seconds ago it was updated for the first time in eight years). There is no need for any "Current X" then redirecting to the incumbent, whether it is "Current President of the United States", "Current CEO of Hewlett Packard", "Current French number one single", any '''tAD''' (talk) 03:28, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

STD Wizard

Delete this was previously sent to RFD (closed as no-consensus, because discussion at talk was ongoing), with a rationale of Non-notable software should not redirect to a general article somewhat related to the software. This never should have been a redirect; this should have been csd'd. I endorse the rationale (basically, non-notable software was redirected to the STI/D article), and what's more, the article doesn't mention the software. Not particularly useful, and we're better off deleting this page than making it look as if we have an article that discusses this software somewhere. Nyttend (talk) 02:40, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mid Wessex

Is this redirect accurate? Or completely made-up and wrong? Two others nominated for the same reason:

I'd missed that Nether Wessex was not in the table. Delete that one per WP:RFD#D2 confusing. 10:28, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
It's not a question of someone searching for Somerset or Wiltshire, but one of her searching for Mid Wessex, etc. Si Trew (talk) 10:31, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note: A quick Google search shows that Nether Wessex is a synonym for Outer Wessex. I added an (unsourced) note of that in the article. That solves the WP:RFD#D2 issue. Nether Wessex should also be retargeted. Alsee (talk) 22:28, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
