• Winter (Amebix album) → Winter (Amebix song) (links to redirect • history • stats) 

This is a song/single, not an album —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:14, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - this is a redirect left over from a page move to the correct title. I have fixed the only incoming link. No reason to keep. Bridgeplayer (talk) 20:55, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned, redundant and unlikely search term. not sure what the rationale was behind creating these redirects since they don't seem very useful and they all lead to the same place. œ^™ 10:14, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete all - wholly improbable search terms; no Ghits for them, and no reason for creation so far as I can see. However, I note that the creator has been alerted and I am willing to be convinced if a good reason can be adduced. Bridgeplayer (talk) 19:48, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all - the list is not organized by satellite, but rather by channel number. Therefore, these are useless since there is no section to link them to. PleaseStand ^(talk) 19:52, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all - not many people would search for a list of channels with these terms. If they wanted to, they'd use Google... This is pointless to have on an encyclopedia and is very useless. cymru lass ^{(hit me up)}⁄_{(background check)} 05:27, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• 朝阳区 → Chaoyang District (links to redirect • history • stats) 

re-target, create new dab (disambiguation) page, i.e. 朝阳区 (disambiguation)

• inaccurate, misleading re-direct for users who know Chinese.
• there are three places named 'Chaoyang District' in China: one is in Beijing, another in Changchun, in Jilin Province, and the other in Shantou, Guangdong
  • however, if you do a search on the Chinese Wiki with the EXACT characters I typed, you will notice that...
    • the Chaoyang District of Beijing and the one in Changchun have the above character representation
    • the Chaoyang District of Shantou is represented by 潮阳区. only a one character (actually one radical) difference, yet crucial. the re-direct for that specific character representation is correct, as it points to Chaoyang District, Shantou.
• '朝阳区' is NOT the same in traditional. the traditional equivalent is '朝陽區'. Since they are equivalent, whatever happens to the '朝阳区' MUST happen to its traditional equivalent. --- 华钢琴49 (TALK) 03:16, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Re-target as per nom. I don't know Chinese but I'll take your word for it. -- œ^™ 10:18, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

your not knowing of Chinese is acceptable but should not affect other users. other than that, you provided no reason for deleting. and your reason better not be a simple but pedantic 'this is the English WIKI'; if it is, your opinion will not be regarded for now. ---华钢琴49 (TALK) 13:12, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oops! Not sure why I wrote delete actually... My intention was to agree with you! -- œ^™ 11:31, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - it is our practice to Romanise page titles, so creating a disambiguation page in Chinese doesn't seem a good idea. Also, even if the translation is not strictly correct, since all three Chaoyang Districts are listed at the existing disambiguation page, then readers will be able to find the information they are seeking, so it achieves its purpose. Bridgeplayer (talk) 19:25, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

point taken, as Romanising page titles is preferrable, but... there is a disambiguation page in Chinese/Japanese/Hanja/Chu Nom for the word 'dragon'. ---华钢琴49 (TALK) 21:57, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as {{R from partial disambiguation}} ; and add the Chinese characters to the current dab page, to clarify which is which, if you're using the Chinese language redirects. 70.29.210.155 (talk) 05:03, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to The Luck of the Fryrish. — ξ^xplicit 01:46, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Horse Pepsi → List of Pepsi variations (links to redirect • history • stats) 

Fictional beverage mentioned in passing in one episode of Futurama, and the section in the target article that contained the reference no longer exists. SchuminWeb (Talk) 02:15, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Luck of the Fryish (or whatever episode it was mentioned in), Spongefrog, (I am Czar of all Russias!) 15:30, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to Luck of the Fryish. "Horse Pepsi" is, in the context of such things, quite a notable quote that appears in a number of sources. I would have preferred the nominator to add some text to the 'Luck of the Fryish' page when he deleted the 'Fictional varieties' section of List of Pepsi variations. But, we are where are, so the best way forward, now seems to be to retarget the link and allow someone with expertise to flesh out the page. Bridgeplayer (talk) 21:25, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Te Amo (Rihanna song). JohnCD (talk) 17:01, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Te Amo (Rihanna single) → Rated R (Rihanna album) (links to redirect • history • stats) 

The page serves no purpose. We do not use (single) as a dab. Lil-unique1 (talk) 01:29, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Te Amo (Rihanna song). Not a very likely search term I agree but, its harmless, and since its been created there seems no particular reason to delete. Bridgeplayer (talk) 20:59, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget per Bridgeplayer, seems obvious enough.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 07:43, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Boodontinae → Colubrid (links to redirect • history • stats) 

deletion because boodontinae is a distinct one of many subfamilies of Coubrid —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wwm101 (talk • contribs) 01:21, 18 May 2010

• Keep - it is a plausible search term. PleaseStand ^(talk) 02:00, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - I see no reason for deletion; not only is it a plausible search term it is prominently mentioned in the target. Bridgeplayer (talk) 18:43, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
