• 2026–27 PWHL season → Professional Women's Hockey League  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Not mentioned at target. WP:RETURNTORED to encourage article creation for when it is needed. Servite et contribuere (talk) 23:30, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

Comment Instead of deleting the article, get rid of the redirect, so that it appears as a redlink, thus encouraging article creation. Assadzadeh (talk) 00:08, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

@Assadzadeh deleting the redirect to create a redlink and encourage article creation is exactly what is being proposed here. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 02:38, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

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

weird to say this of a redirect that actually gets a fair amount of views, but go home potatobot, you're drunk

...okay, fine, i'll be more specific. the term "thanol" seems to be used for multiple different formulas and things that aren't formulas (but those aren't notable, so let's not worry about that). among them were c10h14o2, some sort of "hydroxy terminated poloxyalkyline ethers" (but that result refused to elaborate on its anything), and c4h10o2. all probably close enough to ethanol, but none actually ethanol

i thought about potentially suggesting or outright converting this into a dab, but i also couldn't find reliable, usable, or coherent sources that could then be added to the possible targets to warrant it. if needed, i can provide some of the resources i found, but as is, i don't think they'll be worth much, so returning to red would be the most "optimistic" outcome consarn _{(talck) (contirbuton s)} 19:55, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

• Delete but not per WP:RETURNTORED unless the nom found something notable with this name. This is an {{R from drug trade name}} mass created by PotatoBot. “Thanol” appears to be a pretty obscure brand. This is also part of the word methanol and many related molecules like ethoxyethanol. It could be a misspelling for Thanos. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 22:14, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

• Streptococcosis II → Streptococcus  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete. Not mentioned anywhere on Wikipedia. Google search reveals only four hits, three of which are Wikipedia pages related to Portal:Current events/2005 July 25. The Xinhua News Agency link on the Current events page is broken and this would not be a reliable source, anyway. Zero hits on Google Scholar or Wiley. Google Books and Springer–Nature searches reveal only false positives related to formatting. The Current events post presumably referred to a 2005 Streptococcus suis outbreak in Sichuan, China. If Chinese state media at one time referred to this as "streptococcosis II", I can't find any surviving record of it and usage has not caught on, so this would qualify as a novel or very obscure synonym and should be deleted per WP:R#D8. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 19:39, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

I created this redirect years ago to resolve the redlink on that Portal page, but if the actual term "Streptococcosis II" can't be confirmed, it should be removed from the portal page and then the redirect deleted too. If any reliable sources could be found to confirm the existence of the term, I would advocate keeping the redirect. Colonies Chris (talk) 08:54, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

I searched high and low and could not find a single usage of "streptococcus II" —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 20:18, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

• Diaracial → Transracial (identity)  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Not a widely used term, not longer mentioned in article GnocchiFan (talk) 16:39, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

Delete per nom. Most of the creator's recent edits have been popularizing their new article TransID into other articles (with bad sources)... 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 16:42, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:R#DELETE#8. "Diaracial" is a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name that is not mentioned in the target. This word returns zero hits on Google Scholar, JSTOR, and Google News. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 18:08, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was retarget to 2026 Lebanon war#Airstrike on Ghazali family home (5 March). (non-admin closure) CycloneYoris ^talk! 12:38, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

• 2026 Ghazali family killing2026 Ghazali family killing → 2026 Michigan synagogue attack#Perpetrator  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

On 31 March Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2026 Ghazali family killing was closed with a consensus to redirect to Temple Israel synagogue attack (now at 2026 Michigan synagogue attack). Since then, on 7 April, User:LateNightCoffee expanded 2026 Lebanon war to create a section about the attack. 2026 Lebanon war#Airstrike on Ghazali family home (5 March) would now seemingly be a better target than the current target which is their relatives apparent reaction to the strike. Yeshivish613 (talk) 15:24, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

Retarget per nom. I voted Merge in the original AfD and it looks to me like most of the content from the original article, especially the secondary sourcing has now been moved to the proposed retarget. ScrubbedFalcon (talk) 15:41, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was retarget to School security#Shootings and bombings without prejudice against creating a list or article. (non-admin closure) J947 ‡ ^edits 04:03, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

• School bombingSchool bombing → Lists of school-related attacks  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I would argue that Category:School bombings is a better redirect than Lists of school-related attacks, since the former is a category for school bombings while the latter is just a list of lists of attacks on schools, not just specifically about school bombings. DiscoveringMysteries03 (talk) 14:10, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

• Create a list. I'm surprised we don't have a List of school bombings or similarly-titled article already. I may create one, but don't have time right now. Thryduulf (talk) 14:18, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
• Create a list per Thryduulf. DiscoveringMysteries03's suggestion to redirect to Category:School bombings is probably not the best, but if a list isn't possible, I'd be okay with it (WP:IAR and all that). 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 16:47, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
• Retarget to School security#Shootings and bombings which seems to be where information on the general topic can be found. Asking an RfD closer to "create a list" is too much work for them to do so !voting in that fashion is not helpful. Obviously such a list would be welcome. -- Tavix ^(talk) 18:30, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
• Convert to article I had a "sickening" feeling that such a redirect would arise and an RFD created to judge its relevance. I have to call the bluff of the "create a list" voters because this is as good an article title all day! Should this be closed before a Saturday, I'll extract info from the titles of the category the nom revealed to "articlize", then the temporary accounts can copyedit and take over from there. Intrisit (talk) 14:26, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

  there are only two people for the list, including myself, and we're not voting, exactly, but do your work... 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 18:02, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

• Retarget to School security#Shootings and bombings per Tavix. We have a concise encyclopedic entry here that covers the topic directly. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 02:24, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
• Retarget per all. It is US-centric but that is an article concern. Jay 💬 11:56, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

Similar to "Concoction" below, but I suggest this one is deleted as a misspelling. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 13:35, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

• Charlie Kirk's tent → Assassination of Charlie Kirk  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Implausible search term derived from an item physically present but not at all significant to the subject. Nobody would use this as a link nor would anyone go looking for this, especially within the context of only the assassination—Kirk seems to have used tents at most of his taped events. ~ Pbritti (talk) 04:29, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

• Delete not a plausible search term. Traumnovelle (talk) 06:23, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
• Delete as implausible. Also not really mentioned... 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 16:50, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
• Delete. Implausible search term that serves no useful purpose. I might think this was meant in a sense similar to "big tent", as in referring to Kirk's ideology, allies, and acolytes, but it's not an especially plausible search term for any target related to that, either. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 18:17, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

  Charlie Kirk was literally killed in a tent (see the infobox of the target article). Kirk's ideologies were the quite the opposite of "big tent"—his whole shtick was to try to convince people of his views and to argue against dissenting opinions. -- Tavix ^(talk) 18:27, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

  I'm well aware. And I did not say his ideologies were "big tent". I said the meaning of "tent" could be read with the same metaphorical usage as in the common political phrase "big tent". That is, Kirk's ideology, allies, and acolytes, small as the "tent" may be. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 20:08, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

• Axel Simon → 2024 Southport stabbings  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Implausible search term based on a false name provided by the perpetrator during the commission of the attack. Reporting does not indicate this particular name has established relevance to the subject and may not be accurate to the false name actually used. ~ Pbritti (talk) 04:27, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

• Delete for the reasons above. Also the other redirects to 2024 Southport stabbings recently added by same editor.
