The result of the discussion was speedy delete per WP:CSD#X3. ✗plicit 14:51, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The target is a German band, which is probably what the "de" represents, but it's not a plausible search term on this Wikipedia. Steel1943 (talk) 21:50, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I moved this originally because of the same reason ('de' isn't a plausible search term)  –Joshua Scott 22:04, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
sounds like a good ol' case of x3 to me, so i tagged it as that consarn (speak evil) (see evil) 11:27, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Previous RfDs for this redirect and similar redirects:

“My” specifically refers to something of one person. Probably used more as an insult, like Suck my dick, which is a non existent and salted page. Heyaaaaalol (talk) 22:14, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Crosswiki redirect to Wiktionary's page suck my cock. -insert valid name here- (talk) 23:44, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete consistent with Suck my dick. A soft redirect would be inconsistent. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 21:32, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, neutral on wiktionary redirect. This seems like a unlikely search term and most are probably searching for the insult rather than the act. Ca talk to me! 01:49, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Only if you buy me dinner first. Delete, yeah, phrasing it this way makes it kind of silly as a search term for the current target, while an actual search for this finds a handful of hits in various places, so it impedes normal searching. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 22:34, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:NOTCENSORED and per Thryduulf's !vote back in 2020. Nothing has changed since then, in my opinion, and this is still a plausible redirect. CycloneYoris talk! 09:35, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • One argument that is common to the three RfDs is that the redirect is a slang, and the current target about the act/practice is NOT the appropriate target for the slang. The current nomination (although unsurprisingly by a disruptive and blocked user) which highlights "my", is by far the strongest argument, and I too disagree with a prior RfD !vote that the current target is the primary topic. Agree with IP 67 and Dsuke1998AEOS from the 2023 RfD that we need a better target, in the absence of which, Wiktionary is the next best choice. My issue with the wikt page is that all it says is: An expression of discontent or aggravation to another party., and provides no reference or link to the sexual act the slang alludes to. I would suggest retarget to Cock (slang)#Cocksucker as a close match, which to some extent describes a contrast between the organ, the act and the slang. Jay 💬 11:05, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    This isn't a good target -- one is a personal insult, while the other is used as some sort of retort, making this a misleading redirect. Deletion would still be better. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 17:30, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete, or Wiktionary redirect as second choice. We're not going to have a sufficiently specific article for this use of the term, better to let the user find it on a dictionary than offer a tangentially related article, that could cause more confusion/miscommunication than anything Mlkj (talk) 13:56, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unmentioned gag pseudonym of Mona Simpson.

Ambiguous with {{R with history}}. Given valid previous name {{R from historic name}} I would probably recommend against just retargeting. Tule-hog (talk) 16:11, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Listing this for discussion having bumped into this from Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace. This was created on 8 August 2024 with no action on it whatsoever since then. What do you think? Intrisit (talk) 22:25, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Notified of this discussion at the creator's talk.

  • Delete for the simple fact that there's no reason to retain this. The page/redirect without the "Draft:" prefix, Dagbani Wikipedia, was created about two years before this nominated redirect. In addition, my most educated guest here was that this redirect was created in the hope that it would get published/promoted into the article space, but that process is traditionally done through WP:AFC/R and in this case will not be valid in any way since the mainspace title already existed at the time of this nominated redirect's creation.

The result of the discussion was delete. ✗plicit 06:26, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not a common misspelling. When I google it, it also prompted out Hurricane Carrie (similar pronunciation), so it may be misleading A1Cafel (talk) 05:28, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Looks like I discovered why this redirect exists: Per 2021 Atlantic hurricane season, the target page formed after the "J" storm, though that year's actual "K" storm formed before that year's "J" storm. I'd imagine the redirect is a nickname that has a reference somewhere due to this oddity since from what I know, storms are named by when they form in alphabetical order ("A" for 1st, "B" for 2nd, etc.) ... but in 2021, it ended up being "ABCDEFGHIKJLMNOPQRSTUVW".) Steel1943 (talk) 19:03, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
...Eh, I'm not finding sources validating this nickname, but maybe someone else will. Steel1943 (talk) 19:37, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. asilvering (talk) 00:45, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not useful. Created with the edit summary "MOS: redirects to the Manual of Style". MOS is now a namespace of its own. And in any situation, "MOS" is both longer and more specific than just the letter "h", followed by a colon. I'd argue there's really no reason to have this as a guesswork redirect. People looking for help would probably be more likely to type in something like H:HELP which takes them to the same place. All articles have titles. Utopes (talk / cont) 14:21, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep in the absence of a better target. Nice shortcut linking to the "top" of the relevant namespace, just like wikt: links to the Wiktionary Main Page. —Kusma (talk) 22:11, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    H (disambiguation) is a better as an R from modification. I'm not sure where and why there would be assumption is that someone typing in two characters would be looking to jump namespaces; it is a search that can be replicated by anyone. Many people have no idea what a pseudo-namespace redirect is, and "H:" being two singular characters feels like a plausible enough search for content about some form of the letter "H" or its disambiguations. We should make sure that the only people who fall into the Wikipedia backrooms are only the people who are confident in their actions and are sure of what they are doing. "H:" says nothing about the page and is guesswork unless one reads the RfD, imo. "H:H", "H:C", "H:?", as well as a comfortable H:HELP at least have some clarity in their usage as a pseudo-namespace and point to the same place, rather than having this be a very similar type of redirect to something like H., which points at the disambiguation. Wikt is cross-project and has different functionality. [[Help:]] doesn't work, neither [[Wikipedia:]], [[WP:]], [[Template:]], [[TM:]], or any actual namespace.

  • Delete. I agree entirely with Utopes's reasons – essentially this is an unnecessary and undesirable cross-namespace redirect – but not a redirect to a disambiguation page which does not mention "H:". Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:37, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is purely pointless and as it has barely any incoming links, deleting it will not cause any issue. Gonnym (talk) 17:25, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe this is helpful as a redirect. Even as a pseudo-namespace, it's generally a good idea to give some indication about what category is being sought here, to which there is none. CAT:CONT makes a lot more sense, rather than being one colon away from the mainspace disambiguation page of CAT. Utopes (talk / cont) 14:15, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I don't really see any reason for this redirect's existence besides for completion's sake, and it being a redirect to Category:Contents doesn't seem particularly obvious or useful. Also, there's already two other redirects to that category. Jemiamapus (talk) 18:17, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
