How is this a hug? Extremely ambiguous & an unlikely search term. Delete. Edward-Woodrow :) [talk] 11:42, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
:Keep or redirect. Likely search term. Gonnym (talk) 12:41, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
::{{ping|Gonnym}} It seems to me that anyone searching up an emoji on the enwiki search engine is either doing it to a) see what they get (for fun) or b) looking for Emojipedia-style information about the emoji itself. This is neither and extremely vague to boot. It doesn't necessarily refer to hugging, and, again, so marvellously vague no good alternate targets could be found. Edward-Woodrow :) [talk] 13:00, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
:::Can you support your assumptions for "a" and "b" with {{em|any}} non-anecdotal evidence? If you can't find a better target, the base Emoji#In Unicode which does list this emoji, is always a valid target. Gonnym (talk) 13:03, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
::::It's common sense. Who would use an emoji as a search term in an encyclopedia? We're not the Free Emoji Translator or Wikiemoji. And again, besides the emoji-specific arguments, it's very vague. Edward-Woodrow :) [talk] 13:09, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
:::::Your common sense seems broken to me. My common sense sees emojis as valid search terms. So whose common sense wins the argument? Have you read WP:NOCOMMON? Gonnym (talk) 13:15, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
::::::It is still extremely vague. This is the core issue. Is "Hug" the best target? Maybe. Maybe not. {{tqq|The outcome is usually deletion if the glyph is unclear, its meaning is difficult to determine, or there is no consensus on a target}}. Edward-Woodrow :) [talk] 15:36, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
::::::{{yo|Gonnym}} I'm interested in your opinion on what the most common scenario of searching an emoji is, and I think Edward is too β what's the main use case of these redirects? Partly because valid search term β good redirect often, but more importantly I'm interested in why we have this class of redirects, as someone who doesn't use their phone / type emoji much. It's also very helpful to delve deep into the reader's mind to determine the precise target of redirects; depending on your answer it could be for example the article emoji, detail on this emoji, or the topic to which it refers.

:::::::I haven't researched what {{tq|the most common scenario of searching an emoj is}}, and I can only speculate based on personal experience. I'm sure with the ever increasing usage of emojis in a lot of different aspects of life (web, instant messages and even in film and tv shows), people come across a given emoji which isn't clear to them and want to learn more about it. Or maybe one that {{em|is}} clear to them but inspires them to learn more about it, the set it comes from, or emojis in general. Here are two of first results I got when I searched for "emoji usage" [https://home.unicode.org/emoji/emoji-frequency/], [https://www.amraandelma.com/facts-emoji-and-statistics/#:~:text=Facts%20Emoji%20%233%3A%2092%25%20of%20millennials%20use%20emojis%20daily.,-Emojis%20have%20become&text=And%20it's%20not%20just%20in,convey%20complex%20emotions%20and%20ideas.], these might give more insight.

::::::::Thanks. It just seems weird to me that [a] one might try and understand the meaning of emoji as if it isn't pretty clear on one's phone and [b] to do so a reader might search it up on Wikipedia, put an emoji into the search bar (???). But that is probably the main use, and views for these emoji are high (particularly this one), and the target seems to explain what the readers wants to know so β hey. I do think a broader discussion on emoji redirects is warranted however. J947 β edits 21:15, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep The emoji is called "Hugging Face." This seems like the most plausible target. - Presidentman talk Β· contribs (Talkback) 17:02, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per Presidentman. "Hugging Face" is definitely most closely associated with Hug. -- Tavix (talk) 17:35, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per above. (or maybe retarget to 9th Shorty Awards#Content ;)). Skynxnex (talk) 18:53, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. As much as I like to make up sentences with emojis (and I DO like it!) it is highly subjective across cultures and even individuals, plus "emoji" would be a hieroglyph-like language and this is not emoji.wikipedia.org but en.wikipedia.org - Nabla (talk) 22:04, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per others above. Unambiguous per the title of the emoji. No valid reason for deletion. CycloneYoris talk! 04:20, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. This is a hugging face, and therefore the redirect should point towards hugging. Utopes (talk / cont) 17:26, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
