Per Bkonrad (talk · contribs), Netanyahu (disambiguation) should not exist as a redirect to the surname page, whether it is titled Netanyahu or Netanyahu (surname). --Nevéselbert 23:45, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Löve. -- Tavix (talk) 18:22, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Implausibble redirect. It's redirecting to the game Mario - has no connection to the game, and further, English keyboards do not have omlat's (the diacritic mark over the "O" ) available. May work on the German language wikipedia - but not here. Delete KoshVorlon} 13:53, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The only reliable sources that appears to mention the "Löve" engine is [1] czar 17:39, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe, but that's not needed for a redirect - if it's mentioned in an article then we have some coverage of it, and it can have a redirect/disambig. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:52, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
My point is that it is not worth mentioning in the article and is a minor point to the game altogether. The reference currently in the article is not reliable, and the content would usually be removed with it. Moot point, as it looks like the decision to disambig is the right one here czar 00:24, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I understand. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:06, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disambig - the two botanists are major phenomena and they are often referred to in publications by the brief form "Löve". (Although their official abbreviations are "A.Löve" and "D.Löve" respectively, official abbreviations are a new phenomenon that has not been followed in the past.) Since the game was apparently build using the software, it could serve as a third entry in the disambig, a place-holder to be altered if and when the software becomes notable enough to have its own page. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 16:07, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disambiguate A web search (RS or not) shows it is searchable term, but whether it is presented in all caps or not is inconsistent. As there is the surname of Löve, a non-notable but reasonable search term should not take priority over real notable persons names. Whether this is a Löve disambiguration page or added to Love's disamb page, I'm not sure (or if both should apply). Either way, this redirect should not be kept as is. --MASEM (t) 22:37, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to the to-be-made disambiguation page. All-caps, especially for shorter phrases, is a reasonable redirect for a normal-caps page, and I don't see how anyone could question that there should be a disambiguation page covering "Löve", either an entire page or a section of another disambiguation page. Just redirect this title to whatever that page is. Nyttend (talk) 23:16, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The subject of the redirect is not described/defined in the target article. Also, 1980s in music#Rock would probably be misleading since the year 1980 is not the decade 1980s. Steel1943 (talk) 21:57, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. This is another film that's still "in development". The Zap Gun, a novel, exists, but it doesn't appear to be marketed with an exclamation mark. -- Tavix (talk) 21:45, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

List of US actions since 1945 that have been considered imperialistic

The result of the discussion was delete. -- Tavix (talk) 17:52, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects don't need to be neutral, but they do need to be helpful. Nothing at the target article distinguishes which events are "considered imperialistic", or would qualify as a "Cold War power play" (actually, I was surprised to see no explicit mention of the Cold War there). Additionally, there are plenty of non-military US actions since 1945 that have been considered imperialistic, so we're really not serving readers looking for that topic anyway. --BDD (talk) 21:02, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete, unopposed. No prejudice against recreation if the term is added and sourced. -- Tavix (talk) 17:50, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I feel this redirect should be deleted. I have no objection to putting instating this information on any page. However, it seems that this is an original name for a phenomenon. Therefore, we shouldn't recognize as a name used by linguists.LakeKayak (talk) 20:32, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The page redirects to Alternative R&B. There is no mention of Robo-R&B on that page. Also, a web search of Robo-R&B does not seem to prove its existence. Kellymoat (talk) 17:05, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ambiguous and could refer to Elizabeth II. I'd say retarget the first to Queen Elizabeth#Queens regnant, not sure about others. --Nevéselbert 23:30, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. I'll also remove the unsourced nickname from the list. Please readd if a source can be found. -- Tavix (talk) 18:38, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unsure whether this should stay redirected to the stub article, or made back into a disambiguation page. A retarget to List of nicknames of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom#Earl of Wilmington would be a third option, but the entry there for "Wilmo" is currently unsourced. --Nevéselbert 03:35, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Holiday tree

[edit]

The result of the discussion was restore set index article. Thryduulf (talk) 17:53, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget While the target article does discuss the idea of "holiday tree" as a euphemism or alternate name for a Christmas tree, ultimately, a holiday tree is a Christmas tree. The term is used in that article too, and there's a link to the controversy page, so users will still be able to find that information if desired. The correct answer to "What's a holiday tree?" is "It's a Christmas tree." Not "Well, you see, some people say 'holiday tree', and it's part of this controversy..." --BDD (talk) 17:12, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Delete. I'm closing this despite being involved, as I'm the only one not recommending deletion and I feel the three other delete recommendations the nomination outweigh my weak keep. I don't think a second relisting will result in more arguments in favour of keeping, but if I'm wrong I'll happily restore this and trout myself (just leave a note on my talk page). Thryduulf (talk) 14:40, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not a common phrase, not used in the target article. BDD (talk) 20:50, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep this gets a large number of hits, up to 8 a day recently, and is the name of a 2011 documentary [2] that a cursory search suggests is probably not notable, so a redlink may encourage the creation of an article we don't want. I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise though. 21:06, 21 December 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thryduulf (talkcontribs)
  • Weak Delete - Even if this gets some hits, the wording isn't used in the target article at all, and it also doesn't seem to quite make sense. I'd rather we just get rid of it. After all, anyone interested in the 'Tea party protests' will immediately find that from searching. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 07:09, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A new, clearer disambiguation page now exists. Deleting this redirect page will allow reassignment to the living human Ben Richardson, the filmmaker currently found at Ben Richardson (cinematographer).
