• Durre Menthor → Tau Ceti  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This is (probably) a fake name originating on Wikipedia. In any case it's not mentioned at the target. SevenSpheres (talk) 21:00, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

• Delete Near as I can tell, this name may have originated in the Star Trek universe or some other fandom. [Celestia Fandom|https://celestia.fandom.com/wiki/Durre_Menthor] has a category for this [here https://celestia.fandom.com/wiki/Category:FedTrek_Nation]. Real celestial objects with in-universe names for them apparently. So it seems best to delete it. Mark Ironie (talk) 21:35, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

  It appears there, but as far as I can tell it originated on Wikipedia in the 2000s (see citogenesis). Here is an old discussion about it. SevenSpheres (talk) 21:55, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for those links. Still more reason to delete it. Cheers, Mark Ironie (talk) 22:48, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

Delete, and add to Wikipedia:List of hoaxes. Nice find! -insert valid name here- (talk) 18:58, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

• Zldksnflqmtm → Keanu Reeves  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

per WP:RFOREIGN. I am sure this was enthusiastically created by curious people after watching a recent viral video on the subject (which I sympathise with). Juwan (talk) 18:34, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

Delete. Not actually a redirect from transcription, it's actually a redirect from alternate keyboard layout misinterpreted as QWERTY. There's no consensus for these kinds of redirects, and even if there were, Reeves has no special connection to the Korean language. -insert valid name here- (talk) 19:02, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

• Delete oddity about Korean vs QWERTY keyboard that is unlikely plausible enough, but no ties between Reeves and Korea. Joseph2302 (talk) 23:27, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

• Googlovic → Ivan Gašparovič  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

No idea why this would be a synonym of Ivan Gašparovič, googling doesn't help. Sounds like just a newbie mistake (made by a user with 7 edits) that should have been deleted in 2009. --Joy (talk) 16:03, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. I also cannot figure out what this term means, and the AfD that created the redirect offers no clues as well. The article was never referenced so no sources from the old history either. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 20:13, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

• Delete per nom and Presidentman. Mark Ironie (talk) 22:53, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

Delete Its related to his answer in the 2009 presidential debate, where he apparently confused the functionality of a search engine and email clients. As a consequence, his political opponents sometimes used the term to mock him as an elder, digitally illiterate person (presumably not fit for the job). Does not belong on wikipedia. Newklear007 (talk) 11:28, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

• Delete per all. It seemed to be relevant enough for a mention in 2009, but now we know it is not. The article content is anyway unusable too, per Presidentman. The AfD had decided that it cannot be a standalone article. Jay 💬 15:28, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

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

The correct name of the species is Karyolysus lacertae, and I think "lacerate" may be an "implausible typo". Alfa-ketosav (talk) 09:28, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

• Auto-asphyxiate → Erotic asphyxiation  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This isn't the only reason for autoasphyxiation out there. Also potentially ambiguous to the blackout challenge, the choking game and a semi-popular form of self-unaliving. User:Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 02:18, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

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

"Blae" means blue in Scots, but blue isn't an especially Scottish topic (as compared to many other countries that have blue in their flags), and there are no other good targets, so I suggest deletion per WP:FORRED. Duckmather (talk) 00:48, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

Redirect to Blue, as it links only to Early Scots (ignoring RfD, XfD, and stuff like that). SeaDragon1 (talk) 21:22, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

The problem with your proposal is that the Blue article doesn't tell me what "blae" means, which is exactly the sort of situation that WP:FORRED is designed to avoid. (If someone can add a sourced mention of "blae" or even find a decent source that can be used for such a mention, however, then I'll retract my comment.) Duckmather (talk) 22:56, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

• Weak retarget to Blae Loch (Beith), a hatnote could explain the Scots use and the target "blue" -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 16:56, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris ^talk! 01:23, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

• weak delete, with only mild opposition against retargeting. results gave me a type of artificial fly, a surname, and... fucking fortune tiger (pt article, what can you do), how the hell does that tumor keep spreading itself like this? anyway, the funny puddle took a few seconds of scrolling down to find, so i don't think it's what most readers would be looking for consarn _{(grave) (obituary)} 19:35, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was retarget to Wikipedia:Tags. voorts (talk/contributions) 04:46, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

• Wikipedia:TAGWikipedia:TAG → Wikipedia:File copyright tags  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Suggest converting the numerous hatnotes at the target to a disambiguation page. Looking through uses of this redirect, even experienced editors are often using it for something other than file copyright tags - most frequently maintenance tagging, sometimes also tag-teaming. For example, WP:V currently links this in a context in which maintenance tagging is intended. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:43, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

Comment: The ongoing RfD at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2025 April 27#Wikipedia:TAGS may be related. Steel1943 (talk) 07:26, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

• Retarget to disambiguation page at Wikipedia:Tags, as I've suggested at the April 27 discussion linked above. Havradim leaf a message 12:53, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
• Retarget to Wikipedia:Tags, which is a natural and broader target. -- Tavix ^(talk) 18:01, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

At present, it's not a broader target - it's another specific use of the term "tag". If that becomes a dab page as proposed in the other discussion then it could be a good target. Nikkimaria (talk) 04:29, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

To clarify, my use of 'broader' is in contrast to "file copyright tags" being a very specific and niche topic. Broader as in "has broader mass appeal". -- Tavix ^(talk) 17:20, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

• Retarget to Wikipedia:Tags. (everyone, and most of all the closing admin please see the related discussion) - Nabla (talk) 15:40, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
• Wikipedia:Tags is not a disambiguation page (yet). The hatnotes there do not include WP:TAGTEAM which is a hatnote at the current target. Note to closer, in case we are retargeting to Wikipedia:Tags before the Wikipedia:TAGS RfD closes or the move request is made: move the TAGTEAM hatnote from current target to new target.
