• Eat out → wikt:Eat out (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

Delete. It makes no sense to create soft redirect for common English words or phrases. It is acceptable for jargon (technical, sports, ...) which doesn't get an article but makes articles on the subject sometimes hard to understand; but to use it for regular English words is not what Wikipedia is intended for. Fram (talk) 08:16, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Let's not delete it, let's turn it to an internal redirect to one of the two common definitions - either Restaurant or Cunnilingus. Following the principle of least surprise, I suggest either the former or a disambiguation page. VQuakr (talk) 08:24, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with VQuakr. This is a common term people use and may look it up on this site. We should include it at least somewhere. Redirecting it to Restaurant would be appropriate, as opposed to deleting it. Tinton5 (talk) 16:50, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"common term people use" doesn't equal "something people look up" of course. I note you also created Raspy. How many thousands of other adjectives or common word combinations do you believe should be soft redirects? Or why these and not others? Creating a few haphazardly seems strange... Note that we at the moment only have some 1200 Category:Redirects to Wiktionary, most of them not for common words. Changing redirects to wiktionary from soemthing exceptional to something commonplace shouldn't be done at a whim, but probably deserves a wider discussion to see what most people think is acceptable and what isn't. Fram (talk) 17:07, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget or disambiguate, putting a link to Wiktionary at the target. Fram, the stats show that this is something that people look up - it gets at least 12 hits a month consistently. If a disambig is created, then Eating Out may be a suitable inclusion too. Thryduulf (talk) 09:20, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The above I agree with. Retargeting to Eating out (disambiguation). Tinton5 (talk) 01:35, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That retarget obviously makes sense, so no problem with this result. Fram (talk) 06:31, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think this redirect should be deleted. The Empire Center for New York State Policy and the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research are separate think tanks, both in New York. At the time this redirect was created, they were affiliated, but according to this article, the Empire Center formally spun off from Manhattan [1] Safehaven86 (talk) 05:03, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Inappropriate redirect to project space. - TheChampionMan1234 03:02, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The reference desk is exactly the sort of project space page that new and inexperienced users need to be able to find quickly and easily without having to first learn about namespaces. To me this is a more significant consideration in this case than the slight chance of confusion for people looking for encyclopaedia articles. Thryduulf (talk) 09:25, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
