Polypogon(moth)
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was delete. -- Tavix (talk) 03:18, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
- Polypogon(moth) → Polypogon (moth) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not a plausible search term; receives no views. Page never was at this location for more than an hour, back in March 2009. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 22:57, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete housekeeping for the lack of space between Polypogon and (moth). AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:42, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. While all the statements above are true, none of them are reasons to delete a redirect. There is literally no benefit to the encyclopedia to deleting the redirect. Rossami (talk) 05:17, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete as implausible typo. It's not WP:R3 because it's not "recent". Keeping would set a bad precedent for keeping every typo. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:02, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete - I agree. We should just get rid of this. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 11:56, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete as implausible typo --Lenticel (talk) 00:34, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. Saw this on Wikiproject Insect's list of articles for discussion. I agree with the others that this kind of typo is not something that qualifies for a redirect. It would be rare for someone searching insect terms to even search for the correct Polypogon (moth) phrase. Kingofaces43 (talk) 19:20, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was moot. The category has been moved back over the redirect and the new title deleted. Thryduulf (talk) 13:25, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
- Category talk:Association football fullbacks → Category talk:Association football full-backs (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] Kő Cloch (talk) 19:21, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Kő Cloch: What would you like to see happen with this redirect? Why? -- Tavix (talk) 20:20, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Kő Cloch and Tavix: - KC moved the category page, I presume he wanted the redirect that was created as a result of his move deleted? It's all irrelevant anyway, I moved the category back last night as it's a big, undiscussed, controversial move. GiantSnowman 09:05, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was retarget to Wikipedia:WikiProject Sexology and sexuality. --BDD (talk) 15:45, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Sexuality → Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Currently it redirects to Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies (I think it was meant to be redirected to the section about sexual orientations). But we also have Wikipedia:WikiProject Sexology and sexuality. I don't know which is better, if kept to LGBT, retarget to WP:SAS or to create a dab page. © Tbhotch™ (en-2.5). 18:58, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Retarget to Wikipedia:WikiProject Sexology and sexuality where the main article there talks about sexuality topics. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:57, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- I also agree with going over to Wikipedia:WikiProject Sexology and sexuality. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 11:57, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
- Retarget to Wikipedia:WikiProject Sexology and sexuality per above --Lenticel (talk) 05:05, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Selective assassination
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was keep. -- Tavix (talk) 01:54, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- Selective assassination → Assassination (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Selective Assassination → Assassination (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
PBS and I hare having a good-faith disagreement about this redirect. We both agree that the phrase is a tautology—assassinations aren't random killings. On that basis, I had re-retargeted it to Targeted killing, but I was reverted. The redirect probably needs to be retained in some form because of a merge that happened, but the phrase isn't used in either Assassination or Targeted killing. Thoughts? --BDD (talk) 16:43, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- The redirect has been to assassination for most of the time it has been a redirect. targeted killing is chiefly used as an euphemism to get around the Ford Executive Order 11905 (either by the Israelis who court American public opinion, or more recently by the American government itself). BDD why do you think that a phrase with assassination in it is better redirecting to an euphemism for assassination rather than assassination itself -- which at least contains one of the two words in this redirect? -- PBS (talk) 16:55, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Term is used in articles and texts: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] some of these imply targeted killing. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:56, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Assassination has a section Assassination#Targeted killing with a hatnote to Main article Targeted killing. An inquisitive user would get to both pages Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:08, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - Readers get the information that they're looking for, or at least some of it, at the 'assassination' main page. As stated above, links to multiple articles that provide more details are right there. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 12:01, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was retarget as proposed. -- Tavix (talk) 01:47, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- Dothideomyceta → Trichophyton (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Dothideomyceta includes multiple classes and Trichochophyton is one genus of the class Eurotiomycetes. Leotiomyceta is a better target. Lophotrochozoa (talk) 15:08, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Retarget to Leiotomyceta for now. It's probably worth turning Dothideomyceta into an article at some point, although there isn't a whole lot to say about it yet (it's a relatively recently defined clade and there aren't many publications that mention it).

- Math, Science, and Technology Center → Paul Laurence Dunbar High School (Lexington, Kentucky) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Too generic a phrase to redirect to a specific high school. Also, its existence before becoming a redirect was a non-notable subject (internal school function). Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 12:08, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete as nominator. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 12:10, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete - it could refer to a number of departments and a specific link is somewhat unfair. DrStrauss talk 12:18, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete - seems like the proper action. John from Idegon (talk) 15:00, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete not unique to a high school and too local to be Wikipedia notable. See also Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology, Math, Science, Technology Preparatory School (PS 197) in Buffalo: [7] Queen's College CUNY [8] You might as well connect it to STEM AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:40, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Monday Massacre

- The result of the discussion was delete. -- Tavix (talk) 01:29, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- Monday Massacre → Dismissals of Sally Yates and Daniel Ragsdale (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
"Monday Massacre" originally redirected to "Monday Night Massacre" although no source has called it that. Recently Monday Night Massacre has been renamed to Dismissals of Sally Yates and Daniel Ragsdale per consensus in a move request. Accordingly I checked the incoming links and updated the pointers where necessary. I stumbled on this redirect and noticed that it is only used in a totally unrelated subject, the In-Fest music festival, being apparently the name of a band that performed there. Accordingly, this should remain a red link. I see no strong reason to keep this as a plausible alternate name for "Monday Night Massacre" or to set up a dab page between a nonexistent article on the band and an unused-in-sources title variant of the Yates dismissal article. — JFG talk 07:40, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete as ambiguous and allow the band to be a redlink Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:18, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

- Retired NHL players → List of NHL players (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Retired NHL Players → List of NHL players (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
The target does not contain a list of retired NHL players. -- Tavix (talk) 04:00, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete no such list or category for former athletes or most occupations. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 05:11, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. While it's not an implausible thing to look for, we don't have any suitable content related to it. Thryduulf (talk) 14:04, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

- Memorial Day (2014 film) → Oscar Isaac (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Delete, here's a faulty crystal ball. There's no 2014 film by the name. The closest is an unrelated 2012 film. -- Tavix (talk) 02:21, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Another film in development. No mention at the target. -- Tavix (talk) 02:17, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete per nom and WP:NFF. If it were just the book it could go to John Hepworth (writer). AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 05:13, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

- Sydney Unplugged → Russell Crowe (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Delete, film appears to be in development hell per IMDb. No sign of this going into production anytime soon, so this is WP:CRYSTAL. -- Tavix (talk) 02:13, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete or weak retarget to John Polson who conceived of the idea. There's also a photography book by Vasil Boglev but he isn't Wikipedia notable. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 05:20, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
