The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) Utopes (talk / cont) 00:05, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This has twice been deleted as an attack page, once by Liz and once by Isabelle Belato. While it does impute a motive to the gunman, it also strikes me as a plausible redirect. Hence my taking it here for further discussion as to a correct outcome. If deletion is decided to be appropriate I would suggest the page be salted. Barkeep49 (talk) 19:09, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - plausible search term. I don't see this as eligible for G10 and I don't agree that the existence of the redirect means, in any way, that Wikipedia is saying the assassination was successful. For those who think there was an "assassination of Donald Trump," the redirect to the article about the attempted assassination will educate them. Misleading and inaccurate redirect titles that redirect the reader to accurate articles are helpful. It's just like "Trump assassination" or other variations.

Looks as though we have another candidate for deletion. Space4Time3Continuum2x🖖 12:23, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you think it should be deleted then nominate it, but I will recommend keeping that for exactly the same reasons as I am recommending keeping this one - it's useful and not at harmful. Thryduulf (talk) 16:48, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I am really sick of this routine where people will loudly assert something is a BLP violation, and then refuse to explain how or why -- as though the words don't actually mean anything, and "byelpee" is just some sort of magical incantation that you chant in order to win arguments. Well, okay: Byelpee kadabra alakazam!! Do I win?
It is not defamation to correct a misspelled or misinformed search term. For example, there is a part of a sword called the fuller, which is often incorrectly called a "blood groove". It must be stressed that this is a complete load of crap: they aren't blood grooves. The idea that swords are/were made with grooves so that blood would run down them is an urban legend with no basis in fact. But nonetheless, blood groove redirects to fuller (groove).
If the redirect were named something like Attempted assassination of stupid asshole who sucksAttempted assassination of Donald Trump or Fuckface von ClownstickDonald Trump (indeed, that second one was a redirect once, deleted as G3) it'd be one thing, and I would agree with deleting it, but it's... like, how in the world would it be defamation to EXPLICITLY CORRECT THE MISCONCEPTION THAT someone is dead, by redirecting it to an article clearly saying they are alive? jp×g🗯️ 00:02, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
By this logic, Obama bin Laden should be restored. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 19:01, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not really - Obama bin Laden would be a bad redirect for dozens of reasons, chiefly because it is ambiguous as to where it is intended to go, it's not something users are searching for, and unlike "Assassination of Donald Trump", it isn't just one word short for a correctly titled article. This comparison makes zero sense BugGhost🦗👻 20:06, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Deleting Obama bin Laden set a precedent. Keeping Assassination of Donald Trump would be inconsistent with this precedent. If we argue that Obama bin Laden should be deleted to prevent ambiguity and harm, we must apply the same logic to Assassination of Donald Trump. Otherwise, we risk a double standard. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 18:35, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't look like you are even attempting to address any of the points brought by Bugghost as to why the "precedent" of Obama bin Laden is not applicable to this case. The Mountain of Eden (talk) 18:38, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
RfD (and indeed Wikipedia as a whole) is not bound by precedent. Redirects are discussed on their individual merits regardless of the outcome of other discussions about other redirects. 11:01, 17 August 2024 (UTC) Thryduulf (talk) 11:01, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - per a lot of people, but particularly JPxG. Redirects are not articles, they aren't claims of truth, they are just technical funnels for users to find an article when they type stuff into the search bar. Users type in "Assassination of Donald Trump" into the search bar pretty regularly, according to the stats. We don't have an article on the assassination of Donald Trump, because he was not actually assassinated, but we do have an extremely relevant article on the topic - Attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Obviously the redirect should stay, because it is helping people search for the article. Anyone talking about BLP or it being harassment or whatever is not grasping the purpose of a redirect - there is no claim that Trump died, this redirect does literally the opposite.

The result of the discussion was delete. czar 16:18, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

extremely vague. requires that "pokémon" and "incident" be defined in a way that somehow narrows it down to only this particular episode of the anime generation that also featured jynx and hypno, while excluding every other controversy the franchise has seen cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 16:42, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

should mention that i would favor retargeting it to an article or section of an article detailing most controversies, no such thing exists (yet). the closest i found was pokémon episodes removed from rotation, but even then, that's only for the anime cogsan (nag me) (stalk me) 16:48, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
