July 7

[edit]

This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on July 7, 2014.

Recent deaths

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was snow keep. Nothing has changed since the previous RFD. This is a well trafficed redirect and consensus remains that the present target does the job. Each year this redirect has been updated reasonably promptly so there are no maintenance problems though methods to facilitate this are being discussed. NAC. The Whispering Wind (talk) 16:46, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is a very old redirect that was part of the main page portal several years ago, and still has some incoming links. It also is potentially useful for people using Search. Its got a lot of edit history, so just seeking consensus to permanently redirect this to Lists of deaths by year. The current year is always at the top of that list, "recent" can mean more than just the current year, and permanent redirection eliminates the need to maintain it. Netoholic @ 00:18, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Readers seeking recent deaths want to know who has died now, not back to 1987. Landing readers on Lists of deaths by year requires them to navigate again which is an unnecessary frustration. There are many gnomes working on Deaths in 2014 and its successors who also update related pages like Recent deaths as required. The proposed redirect adds reader effort and frustration without adding any real value to the project. There is no need to broaden the meaning of "recent". WWGB (talk) 01:12, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please say keep or delete. Oppose is vague - it could mean you oppose deletion or it could mean you oppose the redirect. Ego White Tray (talk) 01:17, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No RSes that use this term, just stuff like Urban Dictionary. It's also not mentioned in the article. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 19:51, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well that's just a logical phallus-y. If you're using it you're employed, for money or pleasure. If you're unemployed you're going to be holding it. Either way, IT is never unemployed. JMJimmy (talk) 20:18, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I tend to support the Ansh666's sound analysis above. He seems to have a point. Cavarrone 19:10, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep first, delete other two. Long rationale:
    1. The first redirect is hanja. Like Ansh666 said, hanja are mostly unused in South Korea today. However they've survived in a few niches ... one of which is country names in newspaper headlines (e.g. a Naver News search for 大韓民國[2] shows the most recent result to be a Chosun Ilbo headline from last week).
    2. The other two redirects are not simplified Chinese (which would be 韩国/大韩民国). They are post-WWII Japanese orthography (i.e. a way of writing that only started being used when Japanese rule over Korea had already ended).
    3. Our article on Chinese people in Korea says that they're only about 1.5% of South Korea's population and that many are descendants of earlier Korean emigrants to China in the first place. So even if any of these redirects were Simplified Chinese in the first place, I'm not sure that would make a strong argument for keeping them. And the Japanese community in South Korea today is only in the tens of thousands of people.
    4. Also, judging from Template:Overseas Chinese, there's notable communities of Chinese emigrants living in half the countries on the planet (articles on many communities probably haven't been created yet due to language difficulties). And then there's Template:Korean diaspora, Template:Russian diaspora, Template:NRI-PIO for the notoriously multilingual & multi-alphabetical Indians, etc.

Ah, didn't notice the difference in 韓/韩 (I don't read Simplified). Good catch. Ansh666 03:00, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete both. for the first one things are obvious since it is not related to the subject. For the latter there is a weak connection but it is not clear that this establishes the term as a valuable search item. Recreation of the latter can be done if a stronger relation is proven. Magioladitis (talk) 07:46, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Not in a language that was official in the USSR TheChampionMan1234 04:06, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Help us out, dudes - what language is it? Ego White Tray (talk) 06:32, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Ego White Tray: The page says its Yiddish, but I highly doubt it as google saerch for that term does not return anything meaningful, also the corresponding page on the Yiddish WP is yi:סאוועטן פארבאנד TheChampionMan1234 06:40, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 16:19, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned at target article. I suspect it may have had a section called "Internet meme", but I can't be bothered to trawl through individual revisions and no edit summaries suggest its existence. Launchballer 17:17, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - It refers to a misheard lyric for that song - variations of "I smell a..." "We're up a...", "Rub the..." ...Mexican Monkey. Don't get it personally but definitely not worth a redirect. JMJimmy (talk) 17:33, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
More specifically the misinterpreted line in the original song is "...night to get lucky". This "meme" was extremely topical since the name of the song "Get Lucky" had not been revealed yet, and a few people were trying to discern the heavily vocodered lyrics from the teaser trailer. jhsounds (talk) 17:41, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was speedy deletd (CSD G6). (non-admin closure) TheChampionMan1234 04:29, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Automatically retarget ed by a bot, but I think a retarget to Divergent (film) is useless, as the page has already be created and unlikely search term. TheChampionMan1234 08:52, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The tone marks in this transcription are incorrect, it uses the fourth tone, in contrast to the correct their tone in the second syllable, the correct one would be Táiběi. See Pinyin TheChampionMan1234 08:38, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Age of maturity

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was dabify. Personally, I find these drafted dabs helpful, as they save the closer some work, and it's not always readily apparent to a closer what should go on a dab. --BDD (talk) 16:17, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the redirect should be retarged to Age of majority. Currently it targets a very narrow definition which refers to a religious law with the same legal meaning as "Age of Majority" (within the context of that religion). As addressed in detail here the two terms hold the same meaning in different regions/legal sytems/time periods/religious laws. There is definitely some overlap between "age of maturity" and "coming of age" (re: Jewish tradition, debutantes), however, there is also overlap between many of the coming of age topics and age of majority (example: Jewish law vs tradition both relate to the age of maturity). It could also aid those in finding the article who only know the more common meaning of Majority JMJimmy (talk) 01:32, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose JMJimmy's suggestion above: Here is a WP:Permalink to the discussion JMJimmy linked to above. Like I stated there, I believe that including "age of maturity" as the WP:Alternative title is WP:Undue weight. JMJimmy stated, "The two terms do hold the same meaning depending on the law and/or region." I told him: What we are supposed to have are WP:Reliable sources that specifically state that "age of maturity" can mean the same thing as "age of majority"; otherwise, we are engaging in WP:Synthesis (see what that policy relays) by stating so. I still see no indication that "age of maturity" is commonly used to mean "age of majority." I'll likely research the matter myself later today or some time next week. "Age of maturity" clearly can mean other things, especially in relation to puberty, as seen by it currently redirecting to the Coming of age article (an article that addresses a different definition of "age of maturity" and indicates that the term might refer to some other aspects there). Because of that, especially because of where "age of maturity" currently redirects, it does not belong bolded in the lead as a WP:Alternative title...and perhaps does not belong in the lead at all. If you can find WP:Reliable sources stating that "age of maturity" means the same thing as "age of majority" in some contexts, and in more than just an Iranian context, I might be fine with it being noted in the lead, but not as the alternative title (meaning I object to it being bolded there and listed right after "Age of majority")...without sources showing that it is a common alternative title for "age of majority." And if it is common, we shouldn't bold it and list it right after "Age of majority"...considering where "age of maturity" redirects and why it redirects there). Flyer22 (talk) 01:56, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Againme created the "Age of maturity" redirect, and JMJimmy informed Againme of this discussion; however, the Againme account has not been active since April 14, 2014. Flyer22 (talk) 02:02, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also note: What JMJimmy means by "Currently it targets a very narrow definition which refers to a religious law with the same legal meaning as 'Age of Majority'" is that Againme redirected "Age of maturity" to "coming of age#Religious coming of age#Baha'i Faith"...a heading that no longer exists. There is obviously still a Baha'i section in the article. Flyer22 (talk) 02:15, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would not be opposed to disambiguation of the term itself (Age of majority, Age of maturity (biblical), Coming of age, Adulthood, Legal age, etc). Not sure about including other concepts like financial maturity. Either way, re-target or disambiguate works for me. JMJimmy (talk) 12:18, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Another note: JMJimmy also took this matter to Wikipedia:No original research/Noticeboard; a WP:Permalink for it is here. Since this discussion is still going on, I think it would have been best if czarkoff (Dmitrij D. Czarkoff) had created the disambiguation page in his WP:User draft instead of taking it to WP:Main space. It being there in WP:Main space helps bias the discussion toward the creation of a disambiguation page for "age of maturity," especially since it's already there. Like I stated at Wikipedia:No original research/Noticeboard, even if we leave out "age of maturity" as a synonym for "age of majority" in the Age of majority article because it is against the WP:Synthesis policy (unless it's acceptable to take JMJimmy's alternative approach and simply note in the Age of majority article that "age of maturity" is another term to indicate the age of adulthood, not that the terms are synonyms), we currently have a disambiguation page listing "age of maturity" as a synonym for "age of majority." Flyer22 (talk) 23:54, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I did not take this issue there, I wanted third party help understanding the issues related to alternate title. As I stated before, disambiguation is fine by me. Which page it redirects to with a disambiguation is I suppose still at issue and I would like to see it changed but that's of less import JMJimmy (talk) 00:04, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There is no need to state that you are pissed. Addressing the topic in another place is taking the matter to another place (yes, of course it is looking for other opinions); so I don't understand your semantics on that. Flyer22 (talk) 00:09, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
They are separate matters. Regardless of any outcome of either this matter or the alternate title issue I wanted a better understanding for myself. I was looking for a place to discuss the issue that did not involve some sort of dispute resolution process (3rd party/RfC etc). The noticeboard seemed to be the place to do that ("Noticeboards on Wikipedia are pages where editors can ask questions and request assistance from people who are familiar with the policies and guidelines covered by each individual board. They are to be used for specific problems that editors encounter in writing and maintaining Wikipedia articles.") - I'm pissed because you seem more intent on tossing WPs around and cross-referencing my every move. I'm sorry if I'm not living up to the ideal of wiki civility at the moment but I am restraining myself as best I can. JMJimmy (talk) 00:25, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No, I don't see the "matters" as separate simply because you were looking for more opinions or a place where you wouldn't have to debate the topic. Both discussions primarily have to do with the article title and WP:Synthesis. Same thing. And the Wikipedia:No original research/Noticeboard is a form of WP:Dispute resolution; read that page. Of course, debate was going to be involved there. And as far cross-referencing, if a matter is scattered across multiple places, I'm going to note it (except for maybe if the matter is being discussed on your own talk page, a talk page that I see the WP:Synthesis policy was addressed to you before). Such cross-referencing is my way of helping to centralize the matter; see WP:TALKCENT. Ideally, discussions about a topic should be centralized. If they are not, then so that others are aware of where else the topic was discussed, I point to it. Flyer22 (talk) 01:01, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I do see them as separate. If this gets disambiguated and not retargetted that does not preclude a resolution to the alternate title issue. Perhaps it doesn't get resolved as an alternate title, maybe it gets put further down the page. Maybe it doesn't get resolved. Resolution of one does not preclude a resolution of the other. The notice board was my attempt to understand where YOU were coming from by getting a better understanding for myself. Had it been a dispute issue I would have done as the instructions state and notified you. My issue throughout this entire ordeal has not been with any matters of wiki policy or coming to any sort of consensus - I've tried to be open minded and assume it's my fault since you obviously have more edits than me. My sole issue is your behaviour, unfortunately the dispute mechanism for that is complex, requires more than just myself, and basically says don't bother if the person you have an issue with has a high edit count. 01:21, 8 July 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by JMJimmy (talk • contribs)
I don't see them as significantly separate; I already explained why above. As seen, I also explained my reasoning for cross-referencing. I did not mean to upset you, and am sorry that I have done so. I was simply going about my usual way of editing. Flyer22 (talk) 01:32, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Flyer22: my drafting of the DAB does not bias towards any particular result. If DAB was unappropriate result, the DAB draft would bias against it. That's why drafting DABs under redirects is useful in RfD. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 07:01, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see it that way, but I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Flyer22 (talk) 07:06, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguation drafts have been created after an RfD nomination, underneath the RfD banners several times at RfD, to provide a sample draft disambiguation, that hasn't prevented them from being deleted as the outcome of the RfD in the past. Per DCD, I don't see a problem with a draft dab page appearing underneath the nominated redirect. -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 02:16, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I wonder if the disambiguation page already existing had anything to do with Magioladitis making this edit. Flyer22 (talk) 07:59, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am confused. Is this a redirect with content below or a dab page with a falsely placed redirect tag above? -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:02, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Magioladitis, see czarkoff (Dmitrij D. Czarkoff)'s comments above. The redirect existed first. Was then nominated to be changed, which is why it's listed at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion, and then Dmitrij D. Czarkoff created a disambiguation page for the redirect after "voting" above that it be turned into a disambiguation page. Flyer22 (talk) 08:44, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Flyer22 thanks. Sorry for removing the tag. I thought it was misplaced. - Magioladitis (talk) 08:49, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No problem; your mistake is understandable, and helps prove my point about it not having been a 100% good idea to create the disambiguation page in the middle of the discussion. Flyer22 (talk) 08:52, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
