Delete as vague. Has many uses related to writing systems and computer encoding as well as other works of fiction. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 15:04, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

  • Disambig - This seems like a topic that should be a WP:DAB page. Flower (she/her; Accounts) 15:10, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

Puppy Dog Tails

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. BD2412 or anyone else is free to make further tweaks to the dab page for improvement, but this RfD doesn't need to remain open to accommodate that. (non-admin closure) Left guide (talk) 01:31, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

There are multiple potential targets (no need to delete the redirect) so I am bringing it here to decide where it should point. "Puppy Dog Tails" appears to have been the original name for the show Puppy Dog Pals. So it may be worth a redirect to that show, but the current target does indeed have an episode with this name. RanDom 404 (talk) 00:56, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

Keep having a full episode seems more significant than a pre-release name only mentioned in 1 source. PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:34, 29 October 2025 (UTC)
Dabify What Are Little Boys Made Of? should be the primary topic if there was one. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 12:55, 2 November 2025 (UTC).
And If Looks Could Kill (Transvision Vamp song) should be a dab target, since the EP contains a track of this name. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 19:22, 2 November 2025 (UTC).

Butt darts

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 delete. Rusalkii (talk) 19:47, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

Overwhelmingly, the most common meaning online is actually: "A drinking game where a coin is placed between the buttocks, and the player attempts to drop it into a cup by squatting. The rules can vary, but typically if the coin is dropped in the cup, everyone else drinks, and if it's missed, the player drinks." There are a couple less common uses, including anal sex. These should be deleted. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫‍(talk) 23:08, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

Keep - "Butt darts" most often refers to playing the back nine. --Jax 0677 (talk) 22:50, 23 October 2025 (UTC)
Evidence? This is contrary to my findings. Urban Dictionary does include your definition but almost every single Google hit was for the supposed party game. The 'anal sex' meaning possibly originates with Superstar (1999 film) but I found references to the party game going back to the 2000's so it is nearly as old and far more common online now. Unsurprisingly, reliable sources don't define the term but I'm finding next to nothing to support the anal sex meaning and dozens of forum, social media, and blog posts about the game. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 18:55, 25 October 2025 (UTC)
Delete - unless the game is notable. I don't think many people wanting to read up on Anal sex are going to search for it using this term, the current use is definitely the game. Denaar (talk) 19:59, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
Maybe we should create the article. --Jax 0677 (talk) 01:05, 29 October 2025 (UTC)
This reads as an acknowledgement by the redirects' creator and sole defender that the game is the primary topic, not anal sex. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 05:03, 29 October 2025 (UTC)
User:Jax 0677 The subject doesn't need to be notable. This could, for example be a section in Drinking games. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 19:24, 2 November 2025 (UTC).
It would need to be sufficiently notable within the topic of Drinking games to warrant a mention there and I have not found any evidence that it is. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 01:44, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris talk! 00:18, 29 October 2025 (UTC)
Dabify if possible, otherwise soft redirect to Wiktionary. (There are plenty of published usages, mostly describing the game.)
Note colocation in sewing: How do I fix these pointy butt darts? at Reddit. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 23:01, 1 November 2025 (UTC).
I found many references to the game and several to sewing—more sewing than anal sex—but no SIGCOV in reliable sources that would justify an article. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 01:47, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
I am also open to creating a disambiguation page for "anal sex", "drinking games" and "sewing". --Jax 0677 (talk) 01:26, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

  • Delete, there are no reasonable targets for this. I got a chuckle out of it, but a funny, obscure joke term that's not mentioned doesn't merit a redirect. ~2025-31193-00 (talk) 21:18, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
    I just created a disambiguation page at Butt darts. --Jax 0677 (talk) 00:31, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

Nationalist China

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 procedural close. Requested moves is the proper venue. Nom has indicated their desire to close their RfD nom here. (non-admin closure) Zeibgeist (talk) 19:55, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

I propose to make this page target Nationalist government. This page is currently a disambiguation for various regimes/political entities supposedly referred to as "Nationalist China". However, the two other entities it refers are not appropriate: Republic of China (1912–1949) was not led by the Nationalist regime from 1912 to 1928, and until 1928 the Nationalist regime was a rival government and not the internationally recognised government of the ROC. Similarly, Free area of the Republic of China was far less referred to as "Nationalist China" and more often referred to as "Free China" by Western political sources at the time. I propose making this page target Nationalist government, and instead to have the page Nationalist China (disambiguation) (which currently points to Nationalist government) list the disambiguation and other regimes/entities. ~2025-31393-75 (talk) 02:35, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

  • I appreciate anon's concerns above, but I'm not sure this is the right venue to discuss them. The central question being considered is whether the page Nationalist China has a primary topic or whether it should be the base dab page—this is a concern that should be addressed through requested move process, not RfD. For context, see the discussion at Talk:Nationalist China#Redirecting to Nationalist government. Zeibgeist (talk) 02:50, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
    That’s not an ip user Thepharoah17 (talk) 03:23, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
    @Thepharoah17: They're no longer an IP following the rollout of temporary accounts, but I think it's accurate to still describe them as an anon. If you look at the talk page thread I linked above you will see the IP address they were using. Zeibgeist (talk) 04:01, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Take it to RM, this is not a redirect. Recommend a procedural close. 162 etc. (talk) 17:48, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

Object show redirects

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. Added {{r possibilities}}. (non-admin closure) Thepharoah17 (talk) 01:37, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

These should be deleted. "Object shows" has a bolded mention in the lead and there is a passing mention of BFDI's influence on other object shows later in the article body. However, the article does not give a detailed description of what object shows are, which is appropriate, because it is not about object shows generally. If the genre/medium/whatever is itself notable these are WP:RETURNTORED candidates. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 01:37, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

Weak keep. I don't believe the genre/medium is notable yet, so WP:RETURNTORED doesn't work here. Whether or not the article will include a short description/definition of object shows is still unclear, I have seen edits back and forth on that question. It's a plausible search term (somehow looking at one post on Twitter from the creators of this show mean the app needed to show me the "Object Show Community") and the article in question was supposedly the first of its genre. Katzrockso (talk) 01:53, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
Weak keep. It's somewhat helpful, and gives a hint of what object shows are. There is atm one GNG-good-ish ref on object shows I know of, . Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 05:37, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Keep. Related topic, which is currently not notable enough, and also the BFDI article is probably the only article to cover object shows. Add {{R with possibilities}} and wait for sources. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 08:04, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete. Nominator has convinced me this is a WP:REDLINK situation with WP:RSURPRISE concerns if the redirect is to remain as-is. Steel1943 (talk) 20:16, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
Weak keep per the above. ~2025-31486-81 (talk) 00:44, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Strong keep This is the series that created the genre. The subject is covered on this page. There are no "WP:RSURPRISE" concerns; this is exactly what readers would be looking for if there's no article with more information on the genre. ~2025-32675-93 (talk) 20:43, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

Keep since BFDI already qualifies for WP:GNG, and object shows are mentioned a few times in the BFDI article. DiscoveringMysteries03 (talk) 00:20, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

List of academic scandals

The result of the discussion was delete. Jay 💬 13:01, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

I declined G15 as there was a pre-LLM version (a redirect) to revert to, but the target page does not provide any list of scandals. Suggest deleting it per WP:RETURNTORED. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 01:04, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

My bad, I didn't see there was a redirect in the history. Delete per nomination and WP:RETURNTORED. Katzrockso (talk) 04:55, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:RETURNTORED --Lenticel (talk) 03:02, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 16:43, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete - Agree with nom. Also, current redirect is misleading - target is describing a possible concept behind academic scandals and not a list. Asteramellus (talk) 13:05, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

Attacks on Israeli diplomats

The result of the discussion was retarget to List of attacks against Israeli embassies and diplomats. Also agreed to by redirect creator who is the only other editor, so speedy retarget seems reasonable here. (non-admin closure) Left guide (talk) 16:36, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

This should redirect to the broader List of attacks against Israeli embassies and diplomats, not to the specific events in 2012. Longhornsg (talk) 00:46, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
