Jif (drink) → Jif (lemon juice) (links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Jif is not a drink, and no sources refer to it as such. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 23:49, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Legacypac (talk) 23:50, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete ... Well I guess you do drink it but it's a lemon ..... Not really sure as to the point of the redirect ? ... Anyway useless redirect. –Davey2010^Talk 01:12, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There probably are people who drink it, but I'm sure they're acutely aware that this would be typically be considered a freakish search term. Alsee (talk) 02:48, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. as WP:RFD#D2 confusing per WP:XY. It's not that unusual to add lemon juice to a drink, but this title would suggest that it is the name of a drink in itself (a cocktail or something like bitter lemon or J₂O); Lemon juice → Lemon#Culinary uses, Lemon squash → Squash (drink). Si Trew (talk) 04:29, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I don't see how this redirect is helpful. Who would search for a additive, that's not itself a drink, like this? CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 02:09, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. It can be added to drinks, but it is not intended to be or commonly drank by itself.—Godsy^(TALK_CONT) 19:29, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I don't see a problem with this redirect. According to the drink article, a drink is a "liquid intended for human consumption" and that's exactly what this is. Our article on juice describes juice as a drink, so if Jif isn't a drink, then it's not a juice either, and we've got problems with the current disambiguator. It seems that most of the above !votes are confusing "drink" with "mixed drink" or think the product is actually a lemon. In addition, the redirect isn't ambiguous since peanut butter isn't liquid. -- Tavix ^(talk) 23:11, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I was not thinking just mixed drink, but any kind of drink. Lemon juice is juice but it is not a drink. Legacypac (talk) 01:58, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why isn't it a drink? It is a liquid and it's intended for human consumption. That's what a drink is. -- Tavix ^(talk) 02:03, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So is cough syrup, also not a drink. Lemonade is a drink though. Legacypac (talk) 03:27, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So why is lemonade a drink and lemon juice not a drink? I'm not seeing how one can be called a drink and the other one wouldn't. -- Tavix ^(talk) 05:11, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why is lemonade a drink and sugar is not? I presume because we don't label things we don't drink for pleasure as "drinks". Soup is not a drink either but you can drink it. Legacypac (talk) 05:34, 2 February 2016 (UTC) (edit conflict)[reply]

Lemon juice concentrate, including Jif, is not a drink because it is not normal to drink it. It can be drunk, but it is no more a drink than soy sauce, which similarly may be drunk, in small volumes. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:28, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lemon juice serves a condiment purpose, but it may also be a drink. For example, this article lays out the health benefits of drinking lemon juice. On the other hand, drinking soy sauce can be deadly. -- Tavix ^(talk) 16:25, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've read articles about the health benefits of drinking olive oil and vinegar. Are they drinks? --BDD (talk) 16:59, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And even if so, this is a juice *concentrate*, not intended to be a drink. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:06, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, as {{R from incorrect disambiguation}} if suitable. sst✈^(conjugate) 12:50, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I'd like to point out that just because something is a 'liquid', and therefore can theoretically be consumed just by sipping it, doesn't mean that it's a 'drink'-- soup, bathtub residue, formaldehyde, perfume, barbecue sauce, and ketchup all come to mind. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 15:50, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

None of those items are intended to be drunk, with the exception of soup, which can or cannot be a drink depending on a few factors. Barbecue sauce and ketchup are purely condiments, used to enhance food, not for drinking. The rest of your examples are obviously not intended for human consumption. -- Tavix ^(talk) 16:25, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Whitenose → White nose syndrome (links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Nonsense shoving over English words together by Neelix. Further, there must be other things called white nose. Legacypac (talk) 23:44, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, Nonsensical crap. –Davey2010^Talk 01:17, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, although a DAB might be a good idea if someone wants to build it. When I Googled whitenose -"white nose" I got 34k hits, all the top hits were fictional characters showing whitenose is low on serious use. Looking further I saw a variety of other animals turn up before the bat-disease appeared, scuttling the possibility that the current redirect could be primary topic.

When the bough breaks the cradle will fall

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 keep. (non-admin closure) sst✈^(conjugate) 14:35, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

When the bough breaks the cradle will fall → Rock-a-bye Baby (links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Delete per WP:NOTLYRICS. -- Tavix ^(talk) 23:31, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. I can think of two instances where lyrics redirecting to a song would be appropriate: (1) First lines, especially of old songs (cf. incipit) or (2) very well known lines, such that a reader may have the line in mind but not the song. Kiss this guy almost fits the second criterion, though it's actually a misheard lyric; Oppa Gangnam Style fits it, though it has the actual song title right there as well. --BDD (talk) 23:49, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - in the context of redirects WP:NOTLYRICS really only applies to copyvios. This song ought to be public domain, and there's no question that a user performing this search is looking for this song. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 19:38, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I think there's at least some question. They could be misremembering the title of one of these topics. --BDD (talk) 22:41, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - With that concern in mind perhaps it's best to Retarget' to When the Bough Breaks then? --Lenticel ^(talk) 02:06, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - Well here's that thing again where we try to guess that all plausible errors are equally plausible to the exact title match. They're not. Typing "when the bough breaks the cradle will fall" is far more likely to be a search for the song, rather than any of the shorter titles which use part of this lyric, probably by a significant factor. And also what Si said. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 22:08, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. "the cradle will fall" disambiguates this from the other topics at the DAB at When the Bough Breaks; it's pointless to send an unambiguous term to a disambiguation page. Si Trew (talk) 09:09, 24 January 2016 (UTC) Reinforced to keep, below. Si Trew (talk) 06:23, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Der yck C. 22:43, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep and be done with it. This was a lame creation but the target is obvious. Just close this time-sink. Alsee (talk) 01:49, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; it's unambiguous and hardly a problem. Nobody's going to type this when looking for anything except rock-a-bye-baby, and as noted above, NOTLYRICS doesn't particularly apply to a redirect using a public-domain text. Nyttend (talk) 02:28, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As others have already said, NOTLYRICS doesn't apply and while the disambiguation page is plausible, the song is better. The song page should probably be hatnoted to the disambig page, however. Rossami (talk) 06:37, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why would a hatnote be desirable? It would make no sense to have:

because nothing else on that DAB page is about falling cradles. Si Trew (talk) 13:35, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Theway people might remember it . DGG ( talk ) 20:00, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is mentioned at the target but is this really a proper redirect for a very common phrase or not? Legacypac (talk) 20:54, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Sorry Neelix, Wikipedia is not your personal playground. Softlavender (talk) 21:09, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. It is, indeed, mentioned at the article, but I think this will likely WP:ASTONISH readers more than it will help them. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 21:14, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Nobody would ever search for this, but if they did, they could just as likely be looking for Ripley's Believe It or Not!, or Whether You Like It or Not ... —Anomalocaris (talk) 23:21, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom - Nonsensical crap. –Davey2010^Talk 01:19, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I'd genuinely like to thank Neelix for the interesting intellectual puzzle of figuring out why the fuck this redirect exists, and I'll commend them the actually interesting logic behind it. However I expect the typical reader would be ASTONISHed to find themselves caught the middle of a point-and-click logic puzzle game when they try to use Wikipedia. A logic puzzle in Latin, no less. Alsee (talk) 01:42, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak retarget to the DAB at Nor, for which the first entry is "nor, a grammatical conjunction" (itself → Conjunction (grammar)). Inclusive or → Logical disjunction.

Delete. and not is red, and if we can do without one we can do without the other. Or not. I realise WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST but there seems no good target for this, so delete per WP:REDLINK, WP:NOTDIC, WP:RFD#D5 nonsense per WP:XY. Si Trew (talk) 05:01, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dirtiness → Dirt (links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Is there a better target for this Neelix redirect? If someone is looking for the meaning of this word, reading about dirt will not enlighten them. Legacypac (talk) 18:29, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ - dirtiness is the state of being dirty, a property which is explained at the target. While in different fields we might talk about the dirtiness of some thing (databases, radio communications and signal processing come to mind) I don't think any of those uses are either a primary target or something we could write an article about, and the disambiguation page Dirty (disambiguation) doesn't really help in this regard.

Weak Keep - Dirtiness is, indeed, the state of being dirty. It seems like an alright redirect, reminding me of 'dead' going to 'death'. It's not particularly helpful, though, so maybe it should go someplace else. Maybe. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 01:26, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This one is a plausible grammatical variant. No better target comes to mind. Rossami (talk) 06:39, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Upper class. The idea of Wealth#The upper class was also reasonable, but we shouldn't redirect to a short subsection when we have a full article on the topic. Alsee (talk) 00:37, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There's no intrinsic connection between upper class status and riches, although they're frequently correlated; consider the scene in the famous painting Marriage à-la-mode: 1. The Marriage Settlement, in which the poor upper-class viscount marries the daughter of a wealthy member of the middle class. Nyttend (talk) 02:15, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

yeah, the fact there's not a 100% correlation made me think of WP:XY, but I couldn't find any better target, and "wealth" discusses different types/origins of wealth. Weak keep. Si Trew (talk) 09:23, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Butter worth → Butterworth (links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

This is not a typo, its just splitting a real name into two real word. It took several attempts to get Google to even search for this, so this redirect is just spreading error in the world. Neelix so could be G6. Legacypac (talk) 00:18, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I hate myself for voting keep on this, but when I Googled "Butter Worth" I found at least two of the first twenty hits were in fact making this error. One of those was an on-line grocery store selling Mrs. Butterworth's syrup.[1] I didn't feel any desire to look any further through the remaining 114k hits. If people *are* making the error, and stores are advertising this error, we need to lower our definition of "plausible" to include it. Alsee (talk) 00:32, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is significantly different from other spacing issues, e.g. "Butte rworth"; if nothing else, it's a compound word broken into its components. Aside from the issues of what butter is worth on the commodity market, it's a plausible mistake when a grocery store is selling Mrs. Butter Worth's Sugar Free Syrup; unlike us, they lose money when they make typos (it's harder for would-be buyers to find their products if they misspell the names), so they have every reason to fix this mistake, and to this point they haven't. Nyttend (talk) 01:10, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Willow Woods → Aldi (links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

~~Delete~~ (changed to Redirect; see below). I found this by accident when looking for Willow Wood, Ohio, so I had no awareness of the topic before finding it; I was left more confused because it's not mentioned at the target. The page history shows that this was created as a stub for an Aldi brand of mushrooms and redirected to the company because the brand wasn't notable. This is a good example of a situation where redirect-not-mentioned-in-article is confusing, because someone like me is left wondering if there's some sort of mistake (or vandalism) and if the redirect should instead go somewhere else. I don't see a way in which redirecting a grocery company's brand to the grocery company is helpful, unless the brand has gotten at least a little coverage that warrants mention in the company article. Nyttend (talk) 14:27, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to the DAB at Willow Wood.

I see that Willowood targets Willowood, Texas (which doesn't really need the "Texas" disambiguation as it stands, but was moved from the naked "Willowood" first to Willowood, Houston thence to its current target), and we also have Willowood Estates, Alberta. Perhaps we should add these to the DAB and retarget Willowood to it, too? This discussion is literally the only internal link to it, and stats are below noise level; I don't see much value in opening a separate discussion for it but I hesitate to retarget it boldly.

"Willowood" is also a track on the Evensong (album)). Si Trew (talk) 09:07, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to the Leopoldia comosa article. As long as "lampascioni" is a valid redirect, "lampasciuni" should stay, as it's an easy-to-make misspelling for an English-speaking reader. Redirects-from-typos and redirects-from-misspellings are always appropriate, as long as the mistake is plausible and the correctly-spelled version is itself appropriate. Nyttend (talk) 14:30, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The redirect creator gave this edit summary: It's a weird mis-spelling, but common in Toronto, Canada. That edit summary offers at least a plausible basis for a redirect. Per WP:Redirect avoid deleting such redirects if: Someone finds them useful. Hint: If someone says they find a redirect useful, they probably do. Let's just ping redirect-creator Nadiatalent. They were active just 11 days ago, although their activity is extremely intermittent. Alsee (talk) 23:54, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per my comment about Lampasciuni; unlike that, this one doesn't seem a plausible typo or other ordinary spelling error. You can easily misspell a word you hear in a foreign language (especially with vowels, as they're so often rather fluid), but "Labas" for "Lampas" as a mishearing isn't as likely, and "Labas" for "Lampas" as a mere typo isn't at all plausible.

Oppose retargeting. The WikiProject has two excellent recommended shortcuts in its linkbox, more shortcuts, especially with unrelated turbid history, can only make it worse. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:58, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ricky81682: I think you might have made a mistake in haste in your cleanup after your close of this redirect's former target. If you examine the discussion above you will find: 1 argument for Keep, 3 for Delete, 1 for "Retarget or Delete", and 10 for Retarget. I know it's "not a vote" but might I suggest that you consider the argument for Wikipedia:NEWUSERRETENTION --> Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention? ~Awilley (talk) 05:48, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget Much of the essay has nothing to do with bullying - there are parts on neutrality, enforcement of rules, better consensus making, and many various topics. I suggest Wikipedia:WikiBullying as a possible target. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 05:18, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget per Oiyarbepsy. Wikipedia:WikiBullying is a much better target for this redirect as that explains what a BULLYFREEZONE actually is. Second choice would be to Wikipedia:Civility. --Majora (talk) 06:57, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as unlikely search term. The idea of a "bully-free zone" isn't discussed there or at Wikipedia:WikiBullying (though the latter has an image with that phrase). It's actually a pretty silly phrase. Whether it's Wikipedia, a school, or whatever, the idea is to have no bullying, not just zones without it. Compare to the red WP:NEUTRALZONE, WP:CIVILITYZONE, or any number of things I could make up. --BDD (talk) 22:00, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the target is likely to be deleted or userfied, and per BDD "BULLYFREEZONE" is an extremely poor term in general here. Alsee (talk) 23:10, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Soft retarget to meta:Inclusionism. The reform page covers way too many topics for this redirect to be logical. Inclusionism is what most using this redirect would be looking for. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 05:20, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This nomination is forum shopping, and 'new essay' is an invalid argument, so deletion is out of the question while the present target page continues to exist.

Someone disturbed the CSD. We deleted a bunch of these vague Neelix redirects to this target. Need to kill some more. Legacypac (talk) 01:39, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious keep What are you thinking? "White van speaker", with or without hyphen, is definitely a plausible search target for getting to "White van speaker scam". You might as well propose the deletion of dihydrogen monoxide because it's a vague redirect to dihydrogen monoxide hoax. Nyttend (talk) 14:36, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I know about the Neelix mess, but I'd say these redirects have low but legitimate utility. Alsee (talk) 23:28, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The common understanding of "white van speaker" as an exact term is pretty clear, referring to the specific hoax. I agree with Nyttend . CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 01:30, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
