Capitalized disambiguator. Is from an move, but was only at that title for 6 hrs, so don't think that's an issue. Surprised this doesn't constitute any CSD (at least I don't think so). Clyde!Franklin! 22:58, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Now it's just a redirect to a director's page. I created an article about this film but my edit was undone by another contributor. We either should leave an article or we have to delete the page because now it's just misleading. Trio (1997 film) is not Park Chan-wook himself, it's his film. Okeanium (talk) 22:28, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I think the best solution here is to restore the article and send to AFD. The article was sourced, but one editor made a bold decision to BLAR. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 22:34, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Based on the userpage of the BLARer, it doesn't seem impossible that they simply didn't like it for quality reasons. The sourcing looked passable, and Korean sources seem to provide even more information. I second the vote to restore the article and send to AFD, where it can hopefully be improved to everyone's satisfaction. An anonymous username, not my real name 02:48, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- As the user who made the BLAR, I will vouch that the version I reverted did not have any sources, while I can see that other voters might be looking at another sourced version from before this latest attempt. In this case, per the other users' arguments, I would have to say Restore and send to AfD, but restore the version by page creator dated December 2022. Jalen Folf (talk) 04:44, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Restore the December version [2] (which has sources) as a disputed WP:BLAR. A7V2 (talk) 05:00, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I created the article back in December, but it was turned into a redirect as it had "not enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources to pass WP:GNG". I would restore this December version.Dotoilage (talk) 09:55, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just like with the other singular "Window" redirects, this one should be deleted too. Colgatepony234 (talk) 20:53, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- agree it seems consensus is on the side of deletion across multiple redirects. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 22:44, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
Well...Disagree. The other instances—Window 7, Window 8, Window 10—were deleted by the same editor all on 24 March 2019. There was no discussion, just an opinion on the part of the editor that the redirects shouldn't exist. I don't see a problem in retaining the redirect as it is a plausible typo, in disagreement with the editor who deleted the other redirects. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 21:08, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- This predates commaless Turdus simensis by ~3 months, being made by the same author. Seems very plausible that putting in the comma in the end was a mistake, placing this under WP:G6 speedy deletion criteria. @Pvmoutside: could you confirm if putting in the comma was a mistake rather than intentional?

Polished rice redirects to White rice, but I'm not seeing anything specifically "medical" related there, nor another topic that would be medical. Either way, the lack of space before the disambiguator is problematic. -- Tavix (talk) 19:17, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion was retarget to Baker Island. Consensus to unrefine. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 03:49, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Suggest deletion. Was marked as a speedy delete under CSD:G1, but did not consider this to be patent nonsense. Rather, the target is an unihabited island that has no transportation infrastructure, apparently, looking at the target section. Thus - misleading. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 19:04, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and unrefine. While it's true that the island is currently uninhabited, it used to have an airstrip and a lighthouse, and they're described in multiple sections of the target article. My only reservation is the unusual choice of preposition ("in" instead of "on" or "of"), but the redirect has been in place for over 20 years without issue. It's harmless. - Eureka Lott 04:17, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Unrefine per EurekaLott. Seems reasonable enough. I don't have an issue with "in" since Baker Island is also a territory. A7V2 (talk) 05:06, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Question by 'unrefine' you mean remove the hash-targeting of a section of the target article, yes? --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 22:48, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why this redirect needs to exist; similarly titled pages of older Windows redirects with Roman numerals were deleted as part of a deletion discussion from back in 2014. Colgatepony234 (talk) 18:44, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Agreed. The deletion was predicated on this being an "implausible typo", but I don't think I'd class it as a typo but rather an alternate, invalid name based on non-decimal numbering. Same could be used to delete "Windows 1011" as the base-2 form of "11". User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 21:03, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

May need to be deleted, as this title is not mentioned in the target article. Colgatepony234 (talk) 16:04, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Even if it's not explicitly mentioned, it's obviously an example once you read the article. HotdogPi 16:38, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: This probably could just be merged with the related discussion regarding the redirect called "Internet Exploder" give the similarity. --Super Goku V (talk) 03:15, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- If the discussions do remain separate, then I support whatever was the decision reached at the other discussion. --Super Goku V (talk) 03:15, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I did request a merging of this discussion with that one, if the earlier discussion gets relisted. Or can the merge just happen now? Colgatepony234 (talk) 03:33, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - we absolutely should not have redirects from random satirical misspellings which aren't discussed at that article redirecting there. As I said at the other discussion, if something about this term specifically is added then of course it's fine to keep the target as Satiric misspelling. Second preference to retarget to Internet Explorer but as I also said someone searching this is much more likely looking for something about the term, but nothing about the term is on Wikipedia. A7V2 (talk) 05:49, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I agree that we don’t need to mention every possible satirical misspelling and this should be deleted this unless sources are provided to show that this term is actually in use in which case a sourced entry should be added to the target article.--70.24.249.205 (talk) 01:17, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

This is a common misspelling of "Internet Explorer", but I've seen from many sources it's intentionally used for people to make fun of the browser. Keep this redirect or retarget to Satiric misspelling? Colgatepony234 (talk) 23:07, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as not mentioned and nor is mention justified. Second preference would be to keep but I don't think someone searching this is looking for Internet Explorer, more likely looking for something about the term. Definitely oppose the suggested target of Satiric misspelling unless something about this term specifically is added there. A7V2 (talk) 07:22, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment whatever happens to Internet Exploder should probably be done with Microsoft Internet Exploder as well (which currently targets Satiric misspelling). Skynxnex (talk) 15:12, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Made a separate discussion for that article on today's RfD section. If this discussion gets relisted, merge both discussions. Colgatepony234 (talk) 16:45, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete we don’t need to list every potential sarcastic misspelling.--70.24.249.205 (talk) 02:09, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Also please bundle Internut Exploder with this, or with the other RfD. And also perhaps Internet Exploiter. We already have Internet exploiter (also pointing to the same target) in case that needs to be retargeted to something that exploits the internet. Jay 💬 04:19, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, add these too, along with Microsoft Internet Exploder if this discussion gets relisted. Colgatepony234 (talk) 04:55, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- As Microsoft Internet Exploder has its own RfD with a different set of votes and voters, it's too late to merge the RfDs. However, bundling a new redirect to any of the RfDs can be done. Jay 💬 05:20, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting to bundle in the other mentioned redirects that target Internet Explorer, as well as listing it next to the discussion for the redirect that targets Satiric misspelling.

- Internet Exploder - Keep but redirect to Internet Explorer; agree it is a common typo
- the other three - Delete unless they are mentioned in the Satiric misspelling article; I myself dislike redirects where the topic is not mentioned in the target - it's a kind of teasing. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 21:17, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect should be deleted. At one point it was believed he would be called William IV, but to have it redirect is a misnomer. We don't have a redirect of George VII to Charles III, even though that name was speculated for him, this shouldn't be different. He is never referred to as William IV of the Netherlands, and confusion could possibly arise with William IV, Prince of OrangeEstar8806 (talk) 16:33, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This redirect should be retargeted back to Columbia TriStar Television as a {{R from modification}}. From Bassie f (his talk page) 08:00, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I request that Columbia Tri Star Television and Columbia Tri-Star Television, which also targets Sony Pictures Television currently, to be bundled and added into this discussion as well as Columbia TriStar International Television, which currently targets the History section of the Sony Pictures Television article. From Bassie f (his talk page) 08:13, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Done. Bundled. @Bassie f: I really hate to burst your bubble, but you should just go ahead and WP:BOLDly retarget these redirects yourself, as your proposal to retarget is uncontroversial, instead of bringing them next time to RfD. CycloneYoris talk! 21:00, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
