now, i'm unmuch of a 1984ologist, so correct me if i'm uncorrect, but it seems this semicolon got here by accident... is what i would say, but as detailed in the history of ++ungood, it seems to be an unrelated programming joke

also, see the afd if you feel like it, but it's unimportant here consarn _{(talck) (contirbuton s)} 19:27, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was soft delete. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion").

• Delete During the Napoleonic Wars, French occupation of the Netherlands brought the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia today) under French influence between 1808 and 1811, but only through a form of proxy rule. The territory remained formally the Dutch East Indies and was administered by Dutch and local officials and rather than French authorities.

• Terracell (fuel cell) → Microbial fuel cell#Soil-based  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Redirect title is not present in the target article. As a redirect from the name of a company, it seems inappropriate for this title with a disambiguator to point towards the general type of product they produce; that would be analogous to me creating a non-notable cell phone company Rabbitphone and creating a redirect at that name pointing to Smartphone. -- Reconrabbit 15:31, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

• Comment I reviewed this in WP:NPP. I appreciate the feedback here if I should have nominated this for deletion because it was promotion. —🌊PacificDepths (talk) 20:52, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
• Delete. I agree with the nominator that this is inappropriate. It is arguably WP:PROMO but regardless, the redirect is a disservice to anyone who would search for this or use the wikilink. The intent would surely be to find/point to information about this specific company and products, which is not to be found at the target. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 19:40, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

• ICEICE → Ice (disambiguation)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Wikinav shows that the biggest outflow of clicks from the current target is United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement. After the murder of Renee Good, pageviews record major spikes in views on "ICE" and "I.C.E.", presumably looking for our article on the paramilitary force – even ice hit a major pageview spike. We see a similar spike in early June, 2025, at the time of the Los Angeles protests.
We had a discussion on this last year, but lacked enough evidence to warrant a retarget. I think the clickstream and the most recent pageviews clearly show what most readers are looking for at this point. Cremastra (talk · contribs) 15:05, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

• Retarget both to United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement. I agree with the nom. As I said last year, all evidence (and a bit of common sense) indicates that for most readers I.C.E. = ICE = United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement. I can anticipate continued concerns about recentism as well as US-centrism, but the US law enforcement agency has received sustained global coverage with multiple spikes in interest for months now. This change serves readers. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 19:02, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

Retarget to United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement the capitalization of the word "ice" (ICE), is used for what i said above. CaptainShark49 (talk) 01:20, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

• Keep as is. The focus on the U.S. agency is purely WP:RECENTISM. There are many other historically equally important acronyms for an all-caps ICE. BD2412 T 13:11, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

  This is not incorrect, but the stats clearly show that that is what the readers want, and they come first. Cremastra (talk · contribs) 16:19, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

oh yeah, this one's interesting! it was a really weird gun (potentially the first ever belt-fed one) that was designed for use by the british army, but the idea was turned down when it was found that it was a hassle and a slog to load and shoot, and not even efficient enough for that hassle and slog. only two were ever produced as a result. one is in a private collection, and the other is in a museum

...it was also a rifle, not a revolver. seems best returned to red, since its incoming links suggest that an article would be cool and good. i also found some sources for it, and can dump them here if needed consarn _{(talck) (contirbuton s)} 12:10, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

• Delete. A search for "SGC2C: The show" turns up zero usage online outside of Wikipedia, some mirror sites, and some false positives like "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" (12:00 AM) is drawn by the same team who created ;"SGC2C." The show chronicles the daily life of… A search for "Space Ghost Coast to Coast: The Show" turns up more hits but all are false positive similar to the example posted. I can find no evidence that the show is part of the subtitle or long name for the series. It's possible that this was created as an attempt at an identifier, in which case it is both improperly formed and unnecessary as a disambiguator. The redirect has very low all-time page views and just 20 since January 2025; the six view this year are best explained by the existence of this discussion.—Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 22:14, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

• Ʃcip → Albanian language  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

IPA transcription of shqip, the Albanian word for the Albanian language. While not as egregious as Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2026 January 3#Pʰaːsaːtʰɑj, it is still an implausible search term. Note that WP:MIXEDSCRIPT does not apply here because the first character is an esh not a sigma. The previous RFD closed as G5 so this is not a G4 either. Warudo (talk) 03:22, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

• delete, but... technically maybe not per nom!? that's definitely an uppercase ʃ, and albanian does seem to use the character sometimes, but the usage of this term written like this seems to be exclusive to the ipa notation. it'd be like having poʁtuˈɡe(j)z bɾaziˈleɾu as a redirect to brazilian portuguese (whatever that is), capital p in the title and all. also, the lowercase ʃ is actually forced in the redirect via a template consarn _{(talck) (contirbuton s)} 16:05, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
