This was originally a redirect to Infernal Affairs II (which has a minor character by this name), was retargeted by me several years ago to The Black Ghosts (short story) as that's the original name in Chinese, and recently an IP editor from Ireland is edit warring to retarget it to Black people which is an inappropriate target per WP:RFFL; that article does not (and should not) contain a list of slurs in a bunch of languages spoken in countries which aren't even mentioned in that article.
The usage of this word itself is covered briefly at list of ethnic slurs and gweilo. I have no opinion except that this definitely shouldn't be a redirect to the current target nor a Wiktionary redirect. 59.149.117.119 (talk) 23:59, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- Retarget to gweilo, possibly refined to gweilo#Related terms. I strongly agree that the current target is highly inappropriate. I kinda want to do something to help users looking for The Black Ghosts (short story), but I don't think a persistent hatnote at the top of gweilo would be appropriate... maybe a small note at the top of the Related terms section? Not sure. Might be best just to forget it in the end. Fieari (talk) 00:16, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
:Retarget to gweilo and probably get an admin to semiprotect it if someone edit wars over this redirect. Okmrman (talk) 14:56, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
