This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on May 3, 2020.
*Aqualand el Arenal, Mallorca
- *Aqualand el Arenal, Mallorca → Aqualand (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Unlikely search term (because of the * and the "Mallorca," shown when it was moved to the version of the title without either of these back in 2006)...on the same day the move took place, Aqualand el Arenal, Mallorca was deleted, yet this one somehow survived all these years since this.

For the sake of consensus, I am nominating this as well: In Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 March 22#🄂, a redirection of Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement characters was decided for that characters as there was no mention on the target. This case is analogous. I suggest a retargeting of this and some others (❷❸❹❺❻❼❽❾❿➀➁➂➃➄➅➆➇➈➉➊➋➌➍➎➏➐➑➒➓) to Dingbat#Dingbats Unicode block, where the symbol is mentioned. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 18:55, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget all per nom respectively to Dingbat#1 for ❶, Dingbat#10+ for ➉, Dingbat#6- for ➏, and so on following that style of anchors (x for the first bunch, x+ for the second, and x- for the last). — J947 (user | cont | ess), at 20:25, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
- I have tagged the redirects. What about 🄌 and 🄋? — J947 (user | cont | ess), at 20:38, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. It's normal to redirect an image of X to the article on X, e.g. ✀ is a redirect to Scissors, not the dingbats page in question. I don't see the benefit of deviating from the general pattern now just because one other discussion deviated from it. Nyttend backup (talk) 23:57, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
- The targeting of these symbols is all over the place; in this scenario I think we should just target where there is the most information for the readers. — J947 (user | cont | ess), at 03:14, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Nyttend backup: If a reader stumbles over a symbol not displayed on his computer, he will be very confused if he gets redirected to a page about a digit, where a page search doesn't even find that character. On the other hand, I can't think of any other reason for a reader to search up such a symbol. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 10:29, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- I cannot see that symbol on my computer, it just displays as a white square with '2700' written inside it. Why would anyone search this and expect it to go to Scissors? – numbermaniac 14:56, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
- Because it's a scissors emoji. It may not be viewable on your computer, but it's certainly viewable on many computers. —Lowellian (reply) 03:25, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. It makes sense to target a character representing 1 to 1, etc. -- Tavix (talk) 19:17, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Tavix: Then what is the sense of these redirects? Who would type that in unless the character isn't displayed correctly? 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 13:23, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, it could be one searching for information about the symbol, in which case the current target wouldn't help either. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 14:37, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, signed, Rosguill talk 01:07, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) Noting that this discussion was out of circulation for a little while. — J947 [cont] 01:15, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep all - I'm not too sure, but the above arguments seem rather persuasive. I'd rather that we simply leave these be. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 06:13, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep all. Useful to have such characters redirect to something with information about their subject. —Lowellian (reply) 03:25, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- How is there information about the symbols in the article? 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 21:24, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- There is information about the subject that the symbols represent. —Lowellian (reply) 23:48, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- How is there information about the symbols in the article? 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 21:24, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Speedy keep - these redirects are 100% plausible. Someone may type in a ⓪ into Google and land on this page. Many search engines allow searching via unicode or emoji. Aasim 06:51, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- Surely if someone is searching ❶ they are not searching for 1 but for information on the symbol itself? — J947 [cont] 07:16, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- To clarify, I can't imagine that "ooh, this is a symbol I found on Google, I'm going to type this into Wikipedia looking for information on the number it represents" is a common or even existent thought process. — J947 [cont] 07:19, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- We can retarget the symbol if needed, I am for that, but I strongly oppose deletion. Aasim 07:23, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- That's fair. — J947 [cont] 21:05, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

- Retarget per nom. It's hard to imagine anyone searching with one of these symbols, but it's harder to imagine anyone searching or linking one of these symbols to get an article on the underlying number, as opposed to the symbol itself. From what I can see, no one advocating keep has explained the actual utility of targeting to the number articles by giving a plausible example of when that would be useful. --Bsherr (talk) 13:53, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget all per nom. I also note that one of the keep votes is justified as opposition to deletion, but I don't see anyone here suggesting deletion as an outcome. signed, Rosguill talk 20:57, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Steel1943 (talk) 23:17, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
- Retarget per nom. Some people may be looking for the symbols rather than the numbers they show. CrazyBoy826 (talk) 01:28, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- The other day, I was trying to figure out what 🥆 was (since it's a little box on my screen), and my best way of finding the answer was to go to 🥆 — it's something related to a rifle. If my computer rendered ❽ as a little box, redirecting ❽ to 8 would helpfully tell me that it's related somehow to 8, but redirecting it to the character set wouldn't be very helpful because I already know that it's some sort of special character. Learning what the character depicts is much more helpful than knowing the set that includes the character, especially since those who care about character sets already probably have better ways of looking them up than simply checking their Wikipedia links. Nyttend backup (talk) 12:45, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- It does state at the target a description of the symbol (e.g. Dingbat negative circled digit one). — J947 [cont] 19:33, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- How do I know what it is? On Chrome, I copied the ❽ character and then ran Ctrl+F for it on the Dingbat page, but instead of showing me the ❽ character, the browser found me all 133 appearances of the numeral 8. If that happened to me, I'd guess that it was somehow related to 8, but since Chrome messed up in deeming it identical to the normal numeral character, I wouldn't be very sure in trusting that the character really was an 8. But if I go to ❽ and end up at the 8 page, I'll know that it's not a mistake. Nyttend backup (talk) 20:22, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- Anchors. — J947 [cont] 20:28, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Relisting comment: There's a definite consensus not to delete these, but there's a completely even split on whether they're better at their current target or at the proposed target. Any further input to avoid a default no-consensus would help.

T:CRW
- T:CRW → Template:CricketRecentChanges (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This redirect is of a type that is strongly discouraged (it's in the article namespace and wouldn't work the way template shortcuts work). To be kept, such redirects need a high level of use, and this one appears to have received virtually none: for the entire decade of its existence, it's accumulated a single incoming link. It's also confusing because its target is a different template from {{Crw}}. – Uanfala (talk) 14:54, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per Uanfala --DannyS712 (talk) 16:31, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
T:X11
These are pseudonamespace redirects of a type that is strongly discouraged. Such redirects can be kept if they're widely used, but these don't appear to be used at all. A further complicating factor is that their targets are members of a large family (from {{X1}} all through {{X52}}), it's difficult to see why just these two should have such redirects, and it's confusing when the others don't. The first redirect was discussed at this RfD in 2015, with no resulting consensus. – Uanfala (talk) 13:58, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per Uanfala --DannyS712 (talk) 16:31, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
Landsmalsalfabet
- Landsmalsalfabet → Swedish Dialect Alphabet (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Incorrect and implausible. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 13:45, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep This and this and this and this suggest that "landsmålsalfabetets" is a real term, and even that "landsmålsalfabet" may be an alternative version. This is a plausible misspelling of that, and thus a reasonable redirect. Do we have any actual Swedish linguists here who can comment on this? -- The Anome (talk) 16:29, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
T:Closed
- T:Welcome-ql → Template:Welcome-ql (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
These two redirects are of a type that's strongly discouraged (they are in the article namespace, so wouldn't work the way template shortcuts normally work). Such redirects can be kept if there's long history of use, but these are relatively recent creations (of 2016 and 2019), have no incoming links, and their targets are relatively obscure templates. – Uanfala (talk) 13:36, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

- Delete this as well as all other purported aliases of Sonia Gandhi. These aliases appear to have been generated by Sonia Gandhi's political opponents since 2002 to block her from leadership positions and to maker her look more Italian than she is. The sources before 2002 make no mention of these supposed birth names of Sonia Gandhi. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:36, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

- RISM (identifier) → Répertoire International des Sources Musicales (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Delete: unlikely disambiguator in the redirect title: RISM is already an unambiguous redirect. The redirect was apparently created for an (in the mean while failed) experiment. Francis Schonken (talk) 10:29, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Puzzling qualifier which doesn't help the reader select between articles at all, especially when RISM is unambiguous. Not even worth keeping as {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}. Narky Blert (talk) 11:50, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

R/Foo
is a way to refer to the reddit subredditFoo
, so in this caseR/ForeverAlone
refers to theForeverAlone
subreddit, which I assume once had a ection but now no longer does. Speedy deleteR/ForeverAlone

- Delete both. If the subreddit Forever Alone were controversial then it should be mentioned in the article, and it isn't. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:49, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- Comment The subreddit could be mentioned at Incel, which already mentions the term "forever alone" and the subreddit /r/ForeverAloneWomen. See this source. [1] SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 14:05, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
Veluna
This redirect is unhelpful, as Veluna is not mentioned at the target. Readers searching for "Veluna" won't find anything useful by using this redirect. A few other pages mention "Veluna", but none of them provide much information about it, so I don't think retargetting is possible. Not a very active user (talk) 08:18, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. For the reasons the nom outlines, Search is better. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:50, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

- Trippolette → Guitar Hero (video game) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- *Trippolette → Guitar Hero (video game) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This song isn't mentioned anywhere in these redirects' target article (to be fair, it was composed by a member of the Harmonix team who worked on this game, but it doesn't appear to ). It is mentioned on these three lists, but I'm not sure where it should go, although I am leaning kinda more towards the Guitar Hero one, specifically the section "Other songs," or if it should otherwise be deleted... Regards, SONIC678 07:21, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. If this redirect is ambiguous then an uninhibited Search is better. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:51, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per above. If there are multiple unsatisfactory targets, the search tool is better than a redirect. Narky Blert (talk) 12:18, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
*Ysgol y Fron
- *Ysgol y Fron → List of schools in Flintshire (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This is a school on the list that isn't notable enough to have its own article (which was explained when this started out as an article consisting of only a single run-on sentence in 2013), which would be a good reason to redirect this here, but the * in the title makes this redirect questionably useful (as explained in some earlier nominations), which may be why it only got a grand total of four pageviews since July 2015. Also, strangely, we don't have Ysgol y Fron. Regards, SONIC678 07:08, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. An unlikely Search term, and probably created in error. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:52, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Not least because a wildcard * could mess up searching. Narky Blert (talk) 13:39, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
*Finlay
Leftover from page move, doesn't seem to be part of a stylization, having a leading * character messes with the searchbar. Hog Farm (talk) 01:56, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. An unlikely Search term, probably created (or left undeleted) in error, and anyway the wrong target (unless the band was stylised with an asterix). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:54, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per above. Narky Blert (talk) 13:40, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
T:RPT
A redirect with no incoming links, of a type that is strongly discouraged. Its name doesn't have any connection to its target – it was initially created as a redirect to Template:R from plausible term, which existed as a separate template for less than two hours at one point back in 2014, before getting redirected to the current target, for which it now serves as an obscure alias. – Uanfala (talk) 01:53, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per nom's well-researched rationale. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:56, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
T:R
Recently created (July 2019), of a type that is strongly discouraged, no incoming links. – Uanfala (talk) 01:41, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

T:VGR
- T:VGR → Template:Video game reviews (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
A redirect of a type that has been discouraged for some time; deletion would be best unless there's evidence of use, but I'm not seeing any – it's been around since 2008, and for over this period has accumulated just 11 links, more than half of which are mentions in various RfD discussions (where it has been part of several bundled nominations). Its name clashes with both Template:Vgr (a redirect with two dozen uses) and, less relevantly, WP:VGR (both of which, however, are more recently created). Pinging Bertaut, who's previously said they use this shortcut. – Uanfala (talk) 01:33, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per nom'swell-researched rationale, noting especially that it's ambiguous. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:57, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
Stayer
Not sure what should be done here. The article Motor-paced racing does mention the term stayer, but doesn't really explain what they are in the context of cycling. I would suggest that the primary term really should be Stayer (horse) but that article isn't very well developed. Otherwise at the very least I think it should be a disambiguation page, but really I'm not sure. A7V2 (talk) 01:23, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- Move Stayer (horse) to the base name and put a hatnote there to the other use. I've put a please see note at Talk:Stayer (horse). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:01, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- (1) Retarget Stayer to Stayer (horse), then WP:ROBIN swap those two pages because the horseracing term is clear WP:PTOPIC. Tag Stayer (horse) as {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}. (2) Create Stayer (disambiguation) and hatnote it from Stayer using {{other uses}}. (3) Create Stayers as a redirect to DAB page Stayer tagged {{R from ambiguous term}}. I've added a draft DAB page, with 4 entries, to Stayer. Narky Blert (talk) 12:10, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
