Purge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 21:58, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just came across this randomly, but I could do this one within the next few days. However, just for clarification, because it isn't entirely clear for me from the discussion/close how strict the purge should be: It reads to me like we only keep existing articles (so excl. redirects) where the subject is a meme or memes (related to or stemming from film and television, incl. web series), which means the following would be removed: a) redirects (for specific memes or any other subject, but excl. soft redirects, e.g., to Wikiquote) and b) articles about films, tv shows or any other subject that is not a meme (regardless of whether or not a meme is associated with the subject and sourced content about a meme is in it). Have I got that right? Felida97 (talk) 23:14, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Felida97, and thank you so much for volunteering to take this one on! The closure is requesting that the category only contain articles which are defined by being memes. So redirects from specific memes to the film/movie they come from should remain in the category. What should be removed is all articles about films/TV shows/etc. which happen to have memes. If a hypothetical television show is in and of itself a meme, that would belong in the category, but I do not think there is anything in the category which meets that description. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:33, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@HouseBlaster: Ok, no problem, sounds good! I wasn't sure about the redirects, because the nominator had said that "redirects aren't helpful either because no sources can be applied to them", and I do see their point (or at least the issue I believe they were referring to; see, e.g., Is mayonnaise an instrument?, which redirects to a section/article without any indication that this is a meme or that it comes from that TV episode), but you probably meant that the meme must be mentioned in the film/TV show article in order to keep the redirect (e.g., Baneposting), right? Felida97 (talk) 03:43, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You have it exactly correct, Felida97 :) HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:37, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

These requests have been processed but "what links here" on the deleted category still shows multiple links from article and category space. This may be, in part, due to links in templates for which the revised version has yet to be populated; these are automatically processed by the job queue. The current backlog size can be seen there. Null edits can alo be used to resolve these backlinks. Please do not remove entries from the list until the only remaining backlinks are from project or user space pages.
