Okay, let's take a step back here. This seems to have the potential of becoming a "hot" issue, and I'm not sure why. Rapid reverts without discussion ''does'' tend to make things hot, and I've seen a ''few'' of them, already, on this issue. Let's all take this slowly and civilly and keep to the facts. First of all, the 4 incoming links comment: This is true. But two of these four links are from ''this'' discussion, and one of them is from a User page. The only incoming link presently of concern is from [[Medallion (architecture)]], where it is used in a {{tl|distinguish}} hatnote. None of the incoming links support an argument one way or the other. Secondly, the not well founded comment: I think this reference, which I'll cite as "MWCD", can establish the usage:

:{{cite book |editor-last=Mish |editor-first=Frederick C. |author-link= |date=2003 |title=Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary |edition=11th |url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/medaillon |location=Springfield, MA |publisher=Merriam-Webster |isbn=0-87779-808-7}}


Also, I had submitted an uncontroversial technical move request for the page [[Medallion (disambiguation)]] to [[Medallion]] per standard naming conventions. The move was made and then undone without discussion. I'm not quite sure that was the proper procedure, but it ''is'' clear we need to bring this move into the discussion now.


I do believe that MWCD is a well-established [[Wikipedia:Reliable source]]. Wiktionary and Wikipedia articles are not, because that is a case of circular logic. An error on one page can not be used to justify an error on another page. Google search results are also not a reliable source. There is plenty of bad information on the Internet, and the mere ''presence'' of bad information does not make it correct. That being said, MWCD tells us that Medallion (alli) has three distinct meanings:

# a large form of medal (MWCD does not specifically add "suspended from a ribbon or chain", but this is a common usage)

# a wall ornament (MWCD uses slightly more general terms terms here, indicating possible multiple meanings in Wikipedia terms, e.g. "portrait medallion")

# a round cut of meat (MWCD does not specifically say "boneless", though I've seen it in some other definitions, e.g. [[Medallion (disambiguation)]])

MWCD also informs us that in the 3rd sense, and ''only'' in that sense, there is a variant spelling "medaillon" (aill). This spelling applies exclusively to the cut of meat, and not to the large medal or the wall ornament.


That being established, I believe the proper way to model this in Wikipedia is as follows:

#[[Medallion]] (alli) should go to a disambiguation page. This is why I submitted the uncontroversial technical move request, and why it was granted. The large medal meaning is not the exclusive or primary meaning of the word. Furthermore, there is an additional redirect, [[Medalion]], a misspelling, that currently points to the large medal. Due to double redirects, it ''cannot'' presently point to the correct spelling, Medallion. I had intended to redirect both Medallion and Medalion to Medallion (disambiguation), but while doing so, I discovered that it is ''not'' the correct naming convention. So to follow the correct naming convention, I submitted the uncontroversial technical move request that was implemented and then undone. I believe that the move is well supported, and that the misspelling Medalion should point to the disambiguation, not to just ''one'' of the three meanings.

#[[Medaillon]] (aill) should either go to an article on the cut of meat or be deleted. If someone can find a proper article where we can use a section redirect, I would support that and I am actually ''encouraging'' people to find that article, as my own search came up short. An alternative would be to create an article, [[Medallion (meat cut)]], and have aill redirect there. I attempted to ''create'' such an article and had it reverted for [[Wikipedia:NOTDIC]], which I actually ''agree'' with. If we don't have the basis for an article, then we're left with creating a redirect to a redlink. Such a redirect would qualify for a G8 speedy delete. This is exactly ''why'' I opened this discussion in the ''first'' place. Aill is not a misspelling, nor is it an alternative for ''all'' three meanings of alli. It an an alternative ''only'' for the cut of meat meaning. Currently, Wikipedia is telling users that aill is an alternative ''only'' for the large medal meaning, which is incorrect per MWCD.


As I write this, I believe I ''may'' have come up with possible compromise for aill, but it depends on the alli move that was implemented and then undone: Redirect aill to alli, which would now be a dismbig page. On the disambig page, we have the redlink [[Medallion (meat cut)]] followed by "also spelled medaillon" to indicate that the spelling applies ''only'' to the one usage.


As for the name of the redlink, I've seen [[Medallion (cooking)]] proposed and [[Medallion (food)]] has been used on the disambig page. A medallion is neither a cooking technique nor a kind of food. Perhaps "meat cut" is not the best possible term, and I'm not wedded to it, but it should not be overly generalized to the point that it takes on an incorrect meaning. Perhaps I should renew my call for a butcher or chef to help expand on this third meaning of medallion and perhaps direct us to a better place to land this redlink/redirect. I do think, however, that we've clearly established that this word is not the ''exclusive'' domain of numismatists and architects, alone.


Before we close this discussion out, I do believe we need to come to agreement on the language of the disambig page, lest we wind up in an editwar ''there'', as well.


In that regard, if I may, I'd like to quickly delve into a little etymology. Per MWCD, the word "medal" entered the English language circa 1578. The word "medallion" is a case where the French word『médaillon』has been introduced into English not once, but ''three'' separate times, each with a different meaning. (Multiple introductions of a foreign word is a very common occurrence in language evolution.) The earliest date MWCD gives is 1658. (Unfortunately the dates appear only in the print version of MWCD, not the online version.) The French spelling has been completely anglicized for the first two senses, but the French spelling remains as a valid alternate for the third. Currently, the page [[Medallion (disambiguation)]] claims that Medal is a shortening of medallion. That is incorrect. Medal came to the English language nearly a century ''before'' medallion. [[Medal#Etymology]] is correct on that point and uses the same dates without citation. (I assume we both used the same source, MWCD, to establish those dates.)


In general, the article Medal is pretty balanced and well written. It could use a little expansion here and there, but for the most part I have no issue with it. What I ''do'' have issue with is the mishandling of the terms medallion and medaillon. "Medal" is ''not'' the only or primary meaning of those terms. That is the main issue of concern. Let's not get into a game of rapid reverts and circular logic. Let's take our time and figure this out civilly. Thank you.

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on February 11, 2022.

Fannia scalaris: Ento 431

Leftover from Wikipedia:School and university projects/ENTO 431, but the tag is not needed for a mainspace version of the article. -- Tavix (talk) 20:15, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Caymanian

I'd like to review the target of this redirect, which might equally be Cayman Islands. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 19:28, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Monarchy of Hong Kong & Monarchy of Gibraltar

The pages "Monarchy of Hong Kong" and "Monarchy of Gibraltar", which can redirect to the article "Monarchy of the United Kingdom", should be deleted, here are the reasons:

There isn't any Hong Kong local monarch, but the Chinese monarchs from QintoQing (ruled Panyu County and Bao'an County, at that time included Hong Kong), the British monarchs from VictoriatoElizabeth II (ruled British Hong Kong from 1841 to 1941 and from 1945 to 1997), Manuel I of Portugal (ruled Tamão from 1514 to 1521) and Emperor Shōwa (ruled Japanese occupied Hong Kong from 1941 to 1945) ruled Hong Kong during different periods respectively, thus the term "monarchy of Hong Kong" is original research, and the thing that refer the monarchy of Hong Kong to the British monarchy is confusing and makes no sense.

There isn't any Gibraltarian local monarch, but Gibraltar was firstly under Phoenician, ancient Carthaginian and ancient Roman rule, then under Visigothic rule from 409 to 711, under Moorish rule from 711 to 1309 and from 1333 to 1462, under Castilian and Spanish rule from 1309 to 1333 and from 1462 to 1704, and under British rule from 1704, thus the term "monarchy of Gibraltar" is original research, and the thing that refer the monarchy of Gibraltar to the British monarchy is confusing and makes no sense.--Joker Twins (talk) 11:23, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: There is a weak consensus to delete the first redirect, and consensus to retarget the second but is History of GibraltarorKingdom of Gibraltar the better target?

Implausible Mixed script redirect, the first charecter here is the number zero rather than the letter o (I suppose 0 vs O isn't really mixed script, but the same arguments apply and it's just as implausible as a search term).192.76.8.77 (talk) 17:03, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

伦敦

Delete per WP:RLOTE, no special affinity between London and Chinese. signed, Rosguill talk 16:40, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

1977 Republic of the Congo coup d'état attempt

Listing this one separately from the other coup attempt redirects, as the target does mention that Yhombi-Opango took power in 1977 following the assassination of his predecessor, Marien Ngouabi. However, neither article calls this a coup attempt. Searching on GScholar, I can't find evidence that this was considered a coup. Delete unless a justification can be provided. signed, Rosguill talk 16:38, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

William Jackson (cricketer)

A redirect to a DAB page with no relevant entry. Twice WP:BLARedbyDissident93 despite passing WP:SNG WP:NCRIC. Linked in List of English cricketers (1841–1850), List of Nottingham Cricket Club players and List of Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club players. Restore article and take to AFD if anyone wants to argue notability, the current redirect is worse than useless. Narky Blert (alt) (talk) 16:16, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Restore article AfD is the only appropriate venue when someone objects to a deletion-by-redirection. UnitedStatesian (talk) 19:58, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Misisng coup d'état attempts

No mention of coups in these years at the targets, delete unless a justification can be provided.

Earth flag

delete, the term 'earth' is not mentioned in the target. Heanor (talk) 15:20, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Medaillon

This delete request is to help avoid perpetuating ongoing confusion between two very similar English words with very different meanings. For background, a medal is a small coin-like object without monetary value. A medallion has two very distinct meanings: 1. a large medal, often suspended by a chain or ribbon, and 2. a very large wall ornament used on buildings and monuments. To make things confusing, most awards are presented in the form of the first meaning of medallion, but are usually called "medals" (Think gold medal in the Olympics.) The second meaning of medallion can be found at Medallion (architecture).

This request involves a redirect that is often mistaken for "medallion", but is, in fact, a separate English word with a very different meaning. The similarity in spelling causes frequent confusion. A medaillon (spelt aill versus alli) is a small round cut of meat. I attempted to create a mini stub article out of the redirect but was quickly reverted for two reasons: 1. I had forgotten to review pages linked to the redirect. My bad, I was trying to rush it through and simply forgot. I have since corrected those links to either the large medal or the wall ornament meanings, as appropriate. The remaining links are disambigs to my former stub article. 2. The reverter cited Wikipedia:NOTDIC, which I actually agree with.

This all being said, our choices can be to: A) Keep the redirect, which is pointing to the wrong meaning of the word. B) Point the redirect to a better article. That would be preferred, but I have been unable to find such an article. That is exactly what prompted me to draft the mini-stub in the first place. C) Go back to my mini-stub, in defiance of Wikipedia:NOTDIC, or D) Delete the redirect entirely.

I feel strongly that it would be better to have no redirect at all than to have a redirect to the wrong meaning of the word. This is not an alternative spelling, it is a different word with a different meaning. It is not a misspelling, it is the correct spelling for a different word. It is not an incorrect name, it is a correct name for a subject that we find not notable. Since we don't have the usual option of B, because there is no better article to redirect to, and we don't want to do C for lack of standing, and since A is incorrect, we are left with option D, to delete the redirect.

If a butcher or chef can find a mention of a medaillon in an existing article, I'm open to turning this into a section redirect. Can anyone come up with a fifth alternative? Sincerely, PoundTales (talk) 14:05, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, let's take a step back here. This seems to have the potential of becoming a "hot" issue, and I'm not sure why. Rapid reverts without discussion does tend to make things hot, and I've seen a few of them, already, on this issue. Let's all take this slowly and civilly and keep to the facts. First of all, the 4 incoming links comment: This is true. But two of these four links are from this discussion, and one of them is from a User page. The only incoming link presently of concern is from Medallion (architecture), where it is used in a {{distinguish}} hatnote. None of the incoming links support an argument one way or the other. Secondly, the not well founded comment: I think this reference, which I'll cite as "MWCD", can establish the usage:

Mish, Frederick C., ed. (2003). Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (11th ed.). Springfield, MA: Merriam-Webster. ISBN 0-87779-808-7.

Also, I had submitted an uncontroversial technical move request for the page Medallion (disambiguation)toMedallion per standard naming conventions. The move was made and then undone without discussion. I'm not quite sure that was the proper procedure, but it is clear we need to bring this move into the discussion now.

I do believe that MWCD is a well-established Wikipedia:Reliable source. Wiktionary and Wikipedia articles are not, because that is a case of circular logic. An error on one page can not be used to justify an error on another page. Google search results are also not a reliable source. There is plenty of bad information on the Internet, and the mere presence of bad information does not make it correct.

  2. a wall ornament (MWCD uses slightly more general terms terms here, indicating possible multiple meanings in Wikipedia terms, e.g. "portrait medallion")
  3. a round cut of meat (MWCD does not specifically say "boneless", though I've seen it in some other definitions, e.g. Medallion (disambiguation))

MWCD also informs us that in the 3rd sense, and only in that sense, there is a variant spelling "medaillon" (aill). This spelling applies exclusively to the cut of meat, and not to the large medal or the wall ornament.

That being established, I believe the proper way to model this in Wikipedia is as follows:

  1. Medallion (alli) should go to a disambiguation page. This is why I submitted the uncontroversial technical move request, and why it was granted. The large medal meaning is not the exclusive or primary meaning of the word. Furthermore, there is an additional redirect, Medalion, a misspelling, that currently points to the large medal. Due to double redirects, it cannot presently point to the correct spelling, Medallion. I had intended to redirect both Medallion and Medalion to Medallion (disambiguation), but while doing so, I discovered that it is not the correct naming convention. So to follow the correct naming convention, I submitted the uncontroversial technical move request that was implemented and then undone. I believe that the move is well supported, and that the misspelling Medalion should point to the disambiguation, not to just one of the three meanings.
  2. Medaillon (aill) should either go to an article on the cut of meat or be deleted. If someone can find a proper article where we can use a section redirect, I would support that and I am actually encouraging people to find that article, as my own search came up short. An alternative would be to create an article, Medallion (meat cut), and have aill redirect there. I attempted to create such an article and had it reverted for Wikipedia:NOTDIC, which I actually agree with. If we don't have the basis for an article, then we're left with creating a redirect to a redlink. Such a redirect would qualify for a G8 speedy delete. This is exactly why I opened this discussion in the first place. Aill is not a misspelling, nor is it an alternative for all three meanings of alli. It an an alternative only for the cut of meat meaning. Currently, Wikipedia is telling users that aill is an alternative only for the large medal meaning, which is incorrect per MWCD.

As I write this, I believe I may have come up with possible compromise for aill, but it depends on the alli move that was implemented and then undone: Redirect aill to alli, which would now be a dismbig page. On the disambig page, we have the redlink Medallion (meat cut) followed by "also spelled medaillon" to indicate that the spelling applies only to the one usage.

As for the name of the redlink, I've seen Medallion (cooking) proposed and Medallion (food) has been used on the disambig page. A medallion is neither a cooking technique nor a kind of food. Perhaps "meat cut" is not the best possible term, and I'm not wedded to it, but it should not be overly generalized to the point that it takes on an incorrect meaning. Perhaps I should renew my call for a butcher or chef to help expand on this third meaning of medallion and perhaps direct us to a better place to land this redlink/redirect. I do think, however, that we've clearly established that this word is not the exclusive domain of numismatists and architects, alone.

Before we close this discussion out, I do believe we need to come to agreement on the language of the disambig page, lest we wind up in an editwar there, as well.

In that regard, if I may, I'd like to quickly delve into a little etymology. Per MWCD, the word "medal" entered the English language circa 1578. The word "medallion" is a case where the French word『médaillon』has been introduced into English not once, but three separate times, each with a different meaning. (Multiple introductions of a foreign word is a very common occurrence in language evolution.) The earliest date MWCD gives is 1658. (Unfortunately the dates appear only in the print version of MWCD, not the online version.) The French spelling has been completely anglicized for the first two senses, but the French spelling remains as a valid alternate for the third. Currently, the page Medallion (disambiguation) claims that Medal is a shortening of medallion. That is incorrect. Medal came to the English language nearly a century before medallion. Medal#Etymology is correct on that point and uses the same dates without citation. (I assume we both used the same source, MWCD, to establish those dates.)

In general, the article Medal is pretty balanced and well written. It could use a little expansion here and there, but for the most part I have no issue with it. What I do have issue with is the mishandling of the terms medallion and medaillon. "Medal" is not the only or primary meaning of those terms. That is the main issue of concern. Let's not get into a game of rapid reverts and circular logic. Let's take our time and figure this out civilly. Thank you. PoundTales (talk) 10:14, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

IPad Air (5th generation)

I don't think this is the best target. The iPad Air 5 has not been released yet and is still the subject of speculation, so there is no article on it yet. The iPad Air is an article only on the first model, while the article iPad seems too general. What is the best target here? (FWIW, the ideal is to rewrite iPad Air to be about the entire series instead of just the first one, but that is outside the scope of RfD) Oiyarbepsy (talk) 07:46, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Oiyarbepsy: As far as I know, the 5th generation of iPad Air is scheduled to be released in March 2022. So, I made the redirect page. --Hajoon0102 💬 07:53, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Chemical Bond Approach

Deletion, because the former refers to a now discontinued textbook, meaning it should not be a redirect to the latter. RekishiEJ (talk) 09:23, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AdSeg

AdSeg (administrative segregation) is not necessarily solitary. AdSeg blocks often contain two-person cells. It's not the happy place to be sure but it isn't supermax solitary either. Doesn't appear to be mentioned at target article. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:32, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense, since pretty much by definition any prisoner in solitary is in AdSeg, but not all prisoners in AdSeg are in solitary. My issue here is that I think this redirect might discourage development of a proper article on AdSeg by implying we've already covered it in the article in solitary confinement, which is not the case.

Antinational

As is, this redirect makes no sense - but, there may be a reasonable target for it, something about opposition to nationalism perhaps? Oiyarbepsy (talk) 08:55, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Aleph

Rather misleading since the target is not necessarily a transcription of aleph in a Semitic script, and especially since it makes it harder to describe aleph numbers in mathematics. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 08:55, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

🔴

Seems a little weird to me that we're assuming that people who specifically write in 🔴 want to go "Circle"—seems much more likely that if they're gonna take the time to copy and paste the unicode emoji, they'd want to be navigated to The Color Red. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/they) 04:21, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:AW

Should this redirect to Article Wizard, like WP:aw? – AssumeGoodWraith (talk | contribs) 03:51, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@AssumeGoodWraith: I would suggest bundling the other redirect into this nomination, since the aim here seems to be to syncronise them. I would be tempted to retarget WP:aw, since it was fairly recently created and has no real incoming links, as opposed to WP:AW which has been around for 15 years and has a few dozen links. 192.76.8.77 (talk) 17:13, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

CCP virus

According to online and offline usage I have observe, the term "CCP virus", and other similar terms, are not as a conspiracy theory, but rather an accusation of CCP's negligence and cover up and miscommunication that have resulted in failure at containment of the virus, with the origin possibly also come from CCP-related facilities, hence . Thus, I think it is inappropriate to point these redirects towards the current target of coronavirus conspiracy theory, and elaborate the term inside the section of Wuhan lab bioweapon theory, instead to redirecting and explaining it in more relevant dedicated article like Chinese government response to COVID-19, or COVID-19 lab leak theory, or Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

Ferrari Japan

These divisions of Ferrari are not mentioned at the target or anywhere (that I could find) and were created as redirects so I think delete. There is also the similar Ferrari India but that has substantial edit history as a former article so I have not included it in this listing. A7V2 (talk) 01:25, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
