Not mentioned at target. Only linked from two articles on Madonna as she received an awards. The connection to Murdoch is that, according to a source used in List of Madonna records and achievements, the World Music Video Awards were the "first global television special of Rupert Murdoch's flegding network". I don't see any other content on this award, recommend delete. MB 22:50, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing redirect. There are lots of events that could be considered a "Video Awards Gala". This apparently redirects here because "Gala Salah" chairs a number of galas. This is linked from List of awards and nominations received by Madonna, and if you follow the sources there, there was an event in 1991-92 at the end of the Premier Video Magazine's home video trade show in Toronto called the Video Awards Gala. Salah Bachir is was the publisher of the magazine and presumably the host of the ceremony. The closest mention in the article is "In 1984, Bachir started a trade publication, Premiere, to serve the needs of the burgeoning video distribution and retail sectors. He also produced an annual trade show, Focus on Video, celebrating the Canadian film industry." This should be a redlink.

Not mentioned at target. If fact, removed from target as made-up name mentioned only in one blog and other mirror sites that picked it up from here. MB 16:34, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep - it seems that this is a neologism that has some usage on blogs and social media. Usage seems consistent, so unless there's a reason to suspect that this could confuse people I think keeping is fine. signed, Rosguill talk 16:38, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment (and voting keep, if I get to vote) - I created the redirect. Considering that it is mentioned elsewhere, I think it should stay. There is that blog you mention, and several other places also refer to it by that name. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=43&v=v8C6qA4D-wY is one example. Since the name is out there, the redirect is potentially useful. There's also no ambiguity, and the fact that it's a "made up name", while true, doesn't seem relevant to me (most names of chemicals are made up). As for mentioning it at the target, I wouldn't go that far. It's a potential search term, but not more. Renerpho (talk) 16:47, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Ultimately, all names are made up, as are all rules of nomenclature, and all words. We need some criterion for what to include. I found no indication that this term was in use anywhere except by one chemistry vlogger, and by two twitter users who pointed to where you added it to our article. I'll accept that you didn't intend this as vandalism, but it's not useful. I would also point out that the blog is the youtube video. "It's only in XYZ." "No, it's not, it's also in XYZ!" is not helpful. DS (talk) 13:03, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    If it is not mentioned in the target, then there is no indication of why it redirects there. WP:ASTONISH. MB 03:29, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@DragonflySixtyseven: There is no need for allegations of vandalism. Maybe you didn't intend it to, but your response came across as unfriendly. To the point: Calling the redirect "not useful" is odd. To quote from WP:RKEEP: Hint: If someone says they find a redirect useful, they probably do. You might not find it useful—this is not because the other person is being untruthful, but because you browse Wikipedia in different ways. I added the redirect because I searched for the term on Wikipedia, and found nothing. I had to look up the formal (quite unwieldy) name to find it. Yes, I found it useful, and so I added it. You have not yet explained why it is "not useful". -- As for "It's only in XYZ." "No, it's not, it's also in XYZ!", that is not what I said. I misunderstood what User:MB meant when they mentioned "a blog", and accidentally referred to the same thing they were talking about. Renerpho (talk) 03:14, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please be more careful. I specifically said that I accept that your actions were not intended as vandalism. The difference between vandalism and edits which are simply unproductive is in the intent of the editor. I accept that you meant well. Also: "I misunderstood what User:MB meant when they mentioned 'a blog', and accidentally referred to the same thing they were talking about" is equivalent to my abbreviated description.
The redirect is not useful because one chemistry blogger made it up. No one else uses it. It is not real (to the extent that any name is 'real'). We do not write articles based solely on the amused ramblings of one chemistry blogger, nor do we create redirects on that basis. I could start a youtube channel of my own and invent all the new and amusing names for molecules I wanted. Would you then advocate that every single one of my suggestions be incorporated into Wikipedia? Why or why not? DS (talk) 04:19, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@DragonflySixtyseven: Why not? Because that would be frivolous. If, on the other hand, your Youtube channel was actually viewed by people, and those people then started to incorporate your names as redirects on Wikipedia, because they were genuinely trying to search for those terms, then yes, I would absolutely support their addition. Let me be clear, I agree with you when you recently removed the name from the main article: There is no reason for the name to be in there, for the very reason you have given above. But you seem to equate adding something to the article itself, and having a redirect. The criteria for the latter are much less strict. Basically, any redirect that can be demonstrated to be potentially useful has a good reason to exist. That is FAR from what's needed for something to actually be in the article. And as I have shown with the link posted below, people have searched for the term. There were 10 searches during the 1st half of August, and almost 40 during the 2nd half. That is way more than enough to justify the redirect. Renerpho (talk) 03:59, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
See [1] for page views of "Tinky Winkenic acid" on Wikipedia. I was not the first one to try the search term, and its usage has only increased over the past couple of weeks. Renerpho (talk) 03:18, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"People looking for a search term based on the amused ramblings of one chemistry blogger" are not enough.
Why not? Genuinely, the reasons for why someone uses a search term are of no relevance. What matters is what they intent to find by using it, and whether there's a redirect in place to assist them. If you personally (or even the vast majority of the community) find their search behaviour bizarre, then that is not their fault. Let me once again point to WP:RKEEP here. Renerpho (talk) 04:05, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, there are valid reasons to delete a redirect. That's why this discussion exists. It's just that the arguments given here so far go against the policy I quoted in the previous comment. Renerpho (talk) 04:09, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If I were a chemistry blogger who called Einsteinium as Planck‍ium in one video and few people genuinely came here searching for the latter, would you create a redirect for that? (Also, I assume some of the recent pageview spike is due to this RfD, which is obvious because participants like me tend to open it, see its history etc.) —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 07:49, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@CX Zoom: No, that "Planckium" example would probably meet the criteria at WP:RDELETE -- namely, point 2 (since "Planckium" may refer to something else like a hypothetical element yet to be officially named after Max Planck), and point 5. "Tinky Winkenic acid" doesn't have either of those problems. The only question, I guess, is whether it meets WP:RDELETE point 8: If the redirect is a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name that is not mentioned in the target, it is unlikely to be useful. In particular, redirects in a language other than English to a page whose subject is unrelated to that language (or a culture that speaks that language) should generally not be created. And as I explained, that is handled by WP:RKEEP, point 5: However, avoid deleting such redirects if someone finds them useful. Renerpho (talk) 18:32, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If the term's usage has increased, prove it. DS (talk) 12:52, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nominator. When you do a Google search with -Wikipedia, there's one YouTube channel and one person on Twitter [2]. Redirects, like any other Wikipedia content, need to be verifiable by reference to reliable sources, and there's no evidence of that here. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 01:35, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, thanks to IP61. I don't see that Tinky Winkenic acid is in anyway an alternate name for this chemical compound apart from just being made up by someone. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 10:05, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:R#D8 - novel and obscure name. A vlogger/youtuber made it up. If it gets more adoption, maybe it can be accepted here. Jay 💬 17:08, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. No evidence this is an accepted or widely used name for the target in any WP:RS. If there is no consensus for (or consensus against) including it as an alternative name at the target, then we should not have a redirect for it. Mdewman6 (talk) 19:59, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was no consensus. No additional titles were found suitable for disambiguation, however it may be turned into one in future. There was no agreement between Keep, Delete or turn into article, as alternatives to disambiguating. Jay 💬 06:55, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As noted on the talk page for this - there are other non-LGBT grooming claims (some of which may be dismissed as conspiracy theories), especially outside the US. QueenofBithynia (talk) 20:33, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Love Jihad doesn't use "grooming" even once and the sole use of "groom" is in the context of bride and groom. That is not an existing target. Real cases are not conspiracy theories. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 15:35, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ideally this would be listified, but not sure there are sufficient sources for a list. Disambiguation could work... but would likely lead to various disputes about what should be considered a "conspiracy theory". If there are insufficient sources to create a list, I'd support deletion per Gilgul Kaful. Elli (talk | contribs) 21:09, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, without prejudice to it later being retargeted at a disambiguation page if there are other reasonable target articles which justify making such a disambiguation page and if somebody actually makes one. No good reason to delete. I expect that 70%-90% of people searching "Grooming conspiracy theory" will be expecting the current target topic about the homophobic and transphobic conspiracy, as this is an internationally circulating canard. Most of the rest will probably be expecting something about Islamophobic "grooming" conspiracy theories, which primarily circulate in the UK. If we can offer readers a choice of both then that's great. Otherwise, lets just leave it as it is. --DanielRigal (talk) 23:02, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Obscure slang term, not mentioned at target or anywhere else in Wikipedia besides a "see also" entry at Isosceles (disambiguation). No reliable sources available to support adding it anywhere else [5][6]. Based on a regular Google search I'm not even sure it meets Wiktionary's inclusion criteria. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 03:42, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
