Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

WP:RLOTE, no affinity to Chinese. (I assume the high pageviews are bots of some sort, since nobody is looking up the Main Page through the search bar in the first place, let alone in a different language.) 1234qwer1234qwer4 23:07, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Users can navigate from jawiki to enwiki purely by changing "ja." to "en." in the URL bar, because we both have our Main Pages in mainspace. This redirect gets quite a lot of pageviews – 443 just last month – so it is WP:IAR more helpful to readers to just leave it there. Yes, I know it's an RLANG violation, but RLANG is an essay explaining a guideline, and in this case I have no compunctions about invoking IAR and saying keep. Cremastra (talk) 23:24, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is there a reason to not merge this with the adjacent RFD for 首页 immediately above? If not, I may do so. I have also added a link to an RFD from 2015 that closed as delete that included both of these. Even with that, I am not sure what is actually the best action since Cremastra's suggestion that users switch between languages by just adjusting the host name is plausible... Skynxnex (talk) 03:21, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Skynxnex: No opinion there ... but that is a reason to tag this redirect with {{Db-g4}} ... which I will do here shortly. But ... I would not be surprised if my tag gets denied due to the "keep" votes and WP:CCC, though technically, the tag should be honored. Someone's gotta WP:IAR here. Steel1943 (talk) 13:46, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Steel1943 I've declined the speedy deletion. Good faith objections to deletion mean deletion is not uncontroversial and it is thus ineligible. Thryduulf (talk) 16:32, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep based on Cremastra's explanation. Changing the language in the url is something I have done before and it isn't harmful in anyway. Traumnovelle (talk) 06:11, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete may easily confuse people by landing them on en when looking for ja. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:21, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete RFORIEGN not useful on English Wikipedia; If it is needed, it should reside in WP:projectspace and softredirect to www.wikipedia.org -- 64.229.88.34 (talk) 23:16, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I read the original 2015 discussion, and found Steel1943's comment there convincing: ... Unless a reader is looking up these terms with the intention to find the version of the Main page for the language of Wikipedia which that language refers. That seems more likely then Cremastra's hypothesis. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:50, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per me in 2015 in the previous RfD, and WP:FORRED and as a redirect that would have been eligible for WP:G4 if it were tagged first instead of being brought here. Steel1943 (talk) 02:44, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Cremastra, under the "it's useful to someone" keep rationale, invoking WP:IAR if necessary. Ease of navigation between the languages is a valid use case. It demonstrably gets used. Don't break someone's workflow for no reason... this is harmless to anyone not using it, and useful to those who do use it. It is a net benefit to the project, and we should not delete it out of a sense of "tidyness" or rote adherence to an essay. WP:RFOR is appropriate in more than 99% of cases, but this should be an exception. Fieari (talk) 23:24, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, this is not how we do redirects. Seems more likely to imply the Japanese main page. And WP:RLANG. Utopes (talk / cont) 00:24, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Tavix talks with sanity on this point Not intended to disparage other participants in any way! Just that I feel Tavix has the right approach. I do way more reading than editing, so let me provide a reader's perspective on how I (and, I suspect, others) interact with Wikipedia as readers. I live in the UK so I know full well the year of the election, but let's imagine I didn't: Perhaps I live somewhere far away, or perhaps the year is 2034 and I just can't remember. I come across an article discussing the possibility of a 2025 election, such as this one in the New Statesman. To put what I'm reading into its appropriate historical context the first thing I wanna do is find out when the election was actually held. What do I put into the Wikipedia search box? 2025 UK general election seems like a decent bet. Not only does this redirect take me to the information I want, the page it leads to does in fact contain a discussion about the timing with an entire section called "Date of the election". Perfect, just what I as a reader am looking for. My only question is if we would be best to leave the redirect exactly as it is, or should we retarget it specificallly to the date section? 78.149.135.163 (talk) 19:53, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This re-direct has a spelling error - I therefore created a new redirect page (Sonderjyllands Flyveselskab) so I propose the old re-direct is deleted. Ydemark (talk) 14:20, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The mistake here is replacing a "l" with a "k", which are right next to each other on a standard qwerty keyboard. Keep, very plausible spelling mistake, and the existing redirect isn't doing any harm. BugGhost🦗👻 21:27, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The target is a list of Pokémon species (as opposed to individual Pokémon), so this seems plausible, albeit we don't have any other lists of Pokémon. Like a "List of people by name". 1234qwer1234qwer4 15:55, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:REDLINK as the game itself is notable and an article can be created there. Making a redirect will make editors assume it is not in fact notable. As REDLINK says, "please do not 'kill' red links by redirect because their red color (annoying to some readers) seems to scream for a fix. It is easy to turn any red link blue by creating a redirect, but valid red links exist for a reason". ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:25, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is far from being the only crash of a Turkish plane or the only plane crash in Turkey. Delete this redirect.Mr slav999 (talk) 04:31, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

delete. it's irredeemably vague. it could refer to a plane from turkey crashing in some indeterminate place a plane of indeterminate nationality crashing in turkey, a plane of indeterminate nationality crashing in some indeterminate place in a manner that could be considered "turkish" (i don't know, crashing while eating börek?), a plane from turkey crashing in turkey, and at least two other combinations of differing definitions of each word, and there would still likely be too many plane crashes (translation: more than one) to warrant a redirect to just one of each kind of incident cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 20:03, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not that a similar Rwandan plane crash is a disambiguation page, while Guatemalan plane crash and Iran plane crash are redirects. 1234qwer1234qwer4 01:58, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Appears just to be a social media insult/nickname used for RFK Jr, I do not see any use of this term outside of forums/social media. Traumnovelle (talk) 04:05, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: a) Nominator's rationale isn't really enough to justify deletion of a redirect (indeed, admitting usage in social media and forums FAVORS keeping it) , b) RFK Jr having a Brainworm is RIGHT THERE in an article pbp 04:39, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It is mentioned, but 'Bobby Brainworm' just appears to be a disparaging nickname, see WP:R#DELETE #3. Traumnovelle (talk) 05:01, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    R#DELETE #3 contains the caveat: "unless "Joe Bloggs is a Loser" is legitimately discussed in the article". Since Bobby's brainworm is discussed in the article, that caveat would clearly apply here pbp 06:14, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete Per WP:G10. While the fact that he had a worm in his brain was confirmed by sources, this is clearly not a neutral phrase and is more of a disparaging nickname as indicated by its capitalization and the slang version of his name. If it was something like "RFK brainworm" then the "keep" !vote would have more of a point. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:36, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Per Wikipedia policy: Because redirects are less visible to readers, more latitude is allowed in their names, therefore perceived lack of neutrality in redirect names is not a sufficient reason for their deletion pbp 12:09, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - And I would argue that WP:G10 absolutely does not apply to redirects as redirects are not user-facing... we expressly allow (and even encourage!) non-NPOV redirects, biased redirects, and so forth as search and navigation assistence. If the term is getting use on social media, someone may stumble upon such use and not understand what it is. A good reaction to not knowing what something is is to type it verbatim into the wikipedia search bar, where it will explain what the thing is. This redirect serves that purpose well, and even explains why the nickname exists even if the article doesn't mention the nickname exactly. Again, redirects are NOT USER FACING. No one will see it who has not already seen it elsewhere and is directly trying to find out what it means. Fieari (talk) 07:00, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Ok, then where exactly is the phrase commonly used in reliable sources making it required for navigational assistance? Redirects are not commonly based on social media trends, which people can claim to be nearly anything because there's no way to confirm it. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:49, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It is common to base redirects on terms used in unreliable sources, for the reasons explained multiple times in this discussion. Almost all sources are reliable for the words used in that source (similar to how even unreliable sources can be used in an ABOUTSELF way), which is all that is relevant for a redirect, and the use of such terms in such sources is verifiable. Thryduulf (talk) 00:39, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per pbp and WP:RNEUTRAL. Thryduulf (talk) 11:37, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    RNEUTRAL states: 'In most cases, non-neutral but verifiable redirects'. There is no usage of this term in reliable sources so it cannot be WP:Verified. Traumnovelle (talk) 19:08, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    We don't need reliable sources to verify it exists as a search term. Indeed, being used in unreliable but not reliable sources is a reason why this redirect is useful as people searching on it will be taken to reliable rather than unreliable information about the subject they are looking for. Thryduulf (talk) 22:39, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    RNEUTRAL also states: 'However, if a redirect represents an established term that is used in multiple mainstream reliable sources, it should be kept even if non-neutral, as it will facilitate searches on such terms.'. Seems quite clearly to imply that non-neutral terms require use in reliable sources to be considered acceptable. Traumnovelle (talk) 06:04, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I don't see the point. Google found a mere 48 hits before "we have omitted some entries very similar...." And a few of those 48 were this redirect and discussion. (Total hits, including the dupes, was only 527.) "Bobby brainworm" does not have enough use for Google Trends search term lookup. There has been exactly one use of this redirect in the pageview statistics, and possibly that was the creator or somebody checking out the new addition. Aside from people's possible 'har har' value from seeing a pejorative sobriquet in Wikipedia, this adds nothing. -- M.boli (talk) 13:14, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The page views are not reliable in this case because views before the redirect was created on the 11 September are not recorded so we have no idea how much it is being used. Thryduulf (talk) 13:54, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete A random neologism created by anonymous social media knuckledraggers. Discussing the "brain worm" story at the target article is one thing, and the neologism itself is another. Since the latter is not mentioned at the article (nor should it be), the redirect is unjustified. Zaathras (talk) 21:55, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Please don't refer to other editors as "knuckledraggers". It's rude, unhelpful and against WP:CIVIL. BugGhost🦗👻 07:44, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I directed no such comment at Wikipedia editors. Re-read and re-attempt to comprehend, please. Zaathras (talk) 20:59, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per nom (used online), and per fieari. Yeah, it's a stupid nickname used online and not notable enough to be in the article itself - but that is a different discussion. As a redirect it is justifiable because it helps a reader identify who the term "Bobby Brainworm" is meant to refer to, and so the redirect is a net benefit to wikipedia.

Sideslip angle

The result of the discussion was retarget to Slip angle. Creating suggested redirect as suggested. (non-admin closure) Utopes (talk / cont) 04:42, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Web search mostly brings up content related to slip angle as opposed to the aviation term. Whatever the outcome, a side-slip angle redirect should probably be created with the same target. 1234qwer1234qwer4 01:38, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I agree that the term is rarely used in aeronautics, because a definition of sideslip is that it is the angle formed between the longitudinal axis of the aircraft and its velocity vector, so calling it a sideslip angle is kinda redundant. Sort of like saying "cosine angle". (In automotive terms this is called "dog tracking", caused by poor wheel alignment, because that's how a dog walks.) In diagrams it's most often represented as the math symbol theta, as in "slip θ" or "sideslip θ". I have no opinion on what to do with the redirect, because I simply came due to the notice placed at the target article, but thought I'd give my two cents on the matter if it helps anyone decide. Zaereth (talk) 02:02, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not sure I follow your analogy since a cosine is generally not understood as an angle, but from what I understand from the article, a sideslip can be a qualitative condition while the angle is unambiguously quantitative. 1234qwer1234qwer4 03:28, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    In practical application, such as refraction in optics, sine and cosine are directly translatable into angles. For example, according to the Machinery's Handbook, if sine is 0.707107 then what you have there is a 45 degree angle, regardless of run or rise. Likewise, cosine is a measurement of the opposite angle, which at 45 degrees is also 0.707107. The point is nobody calls it a cosine angle. Likewise, in aeronautic books nobody ever calls it a slip angle, they simply say your slip is 20 degrees, or 30 degrees, or whatever the case may be (because it's a variable). You only see that kind of language being used by amateurs, which is why it doesn't show up as much on google. Zaereth (talk) 05:05, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Not really a word, Google comes up with just a couple of whimsical coinages of it. We don't want to load up on redirects consisting of every word with every prefix. Largoplazo (talk) 00:51, 14 September 2024 (UTC) Keep Changing mind based on BD2412's observation about Google Books. I see a John Haiman, in linguistic analysis, labels the expression of sarcasm a "sarcastive modality", and others have cited him on this. In addition, an 1847 issue of The Law Review and Quarterly Journal of British and Foreign Jurisprudence describes a John Dunning as a great debater with the gift of "sarcastive invective, superior to most men", and an edition of The Christian Examiner and Church of Ireland Magazine from 1827 describes "the cutting bitter laugh of wounding and sarcastive insult" as something to which the mouth and lips of a Milesian are well suited. So, even if the Oxford English Dictionary has failed to take note of it, the word has both age and currency (even if Haiman was unaware of previous uses and thought he was coining a term!).

  • Leaning keep, as this gets dozens of hits on Google Books, so multiple authors seem to be assigning it meaning relevant to sarcasm. BD2412 T 02:55, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per BD2412. --Un assiolo (talk) 12:17, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Totalitarianism. Restoring pre-2023 redirect target. The article does, indeed, mention an economic aspect of totalitarianism. R from subtopic. (non-admin closure) Utopes (talk / cont) 19:09, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was originally an essay, which got turned into a redirect. The redirect target was changed several times until someone finally found an article that actually mentioned "economic totalitarianism", but that mention has since been removed because it was a POV-pushing essay. Hence, there is no plausible target. Un assiolo (talk) 16:28, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with Wbm1058's retarget suggestion. My !vote was mainly an opposition to restoration anyway (which I am still against!). -- Tavix (talk) 23:58, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This word means ‘paper’ in Sogdian. It does not make sense to redirect an arbitrary word to an article about the alphabet it is written in. Per WP:RFOREIGN, it would also not be appropriate to retarget it to Paper, because paper does not have any special connection to Sogdian. Therefore, this redirect should be deleted.
