Problem Solvers

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 disambiguate. (non-admin closure) feminist (talk) 11:02, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A quick Google search for “problem solvers” indicates that problem solving is closer. Problem solving is a universal skill while The Problem Solverz is a TV show. 165.91.13.168 (talk) 19:08, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak retarget to The Problem Solvers episode of 30 Rock which also hatnotes to The Problem Solverz. If that's not notable then delete, but the capital S in Solvers implies the user is looking for media of such names instead of problem solving in general.

  • Elena, Maria → María Elena (song)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The article, moved from Maria Elena which is where the redirect originally pointed to, is about a song, so I don't think it would be a sort name. Peter James (talk) 18:56, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedied, not a sort name. bd2412 T 19:00, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

  • Why women hate me → Misandry  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Completely unlikely target of a search, and inflammatory to boot –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 18:46, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it does actually partially direct to at least hate (as a male target for hatred) and considering the possibility of someone at a future time typing the exact words into the search, would be a functional and effective redirect; as a similar function, to a search engine, but with an exact return. 23h112e (talk) 18:51, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

c.f. the Buddha shows the way http://www.buddhanet.net/dhammapada/d_path.htm Verse 276.

  • Delete Redirect implies the only reason women hate men is because they are misandrist. Misleading and confusing, biased to boot.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 20:24, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Militaries of Ace Combat → Ace Combat  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The main article says nothing about any of the militaries of the Ace Combat countries. Therefore, the redirect is misleading and unnecessary. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:56, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I may be wrong but aren't redirects that pose questions usually deleted? Not sure whether this one is very helpful. --Nevé–selbert 10:18, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Why did Abraham Lincoln win?" would be a question. "Why Abraham Lincoln won" is a statement answering it. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:47, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • 丁 → 一  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

丁 or ding which is one of the four heavenly stems, has a different meaning than "一“ yi which means one. This redirect should be deleted. Goveganplease (talk) 15:06, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget I didn't realize that Ding (surname) was a page. This particular 汉字 should just be redirected to that surname page instead. Goveganplease (talk) 19:06, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Couldn't this be targeted to Ding (surname) and that article expanded with a mention of the character being a Celestial stem, thus accommodating both possible targets? Or are both topics equally likely to be sought by readers? – Uanfala (talk) 00:56, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Good question; not sure. Celestial stem gets about 2-3x as many views as Ding (surname), though of course not all viewers of celestial stem went there looking for 丁. FWIW, zh:丁 is a disambiguation page for the surname, the stem, and Vietnam's Đinh Dynasty; ja:丁 is an article about the stem, with a hatnote for a dab page (though both zh and ja have separate articles for each stem, whereas en doesn't). We also have other minor topics for 丁, e.g. its use in kanbun. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 03:13, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disambiguate with Ding (surname) and Celestial stem as targets. feminist 15:45, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • V2 (Ace Combat) → Ace Combat  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

There is no mention of anything V2 related in the target page. Unnecessary redirect. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 00:17, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
