• Based on a number of edits in the history behind the redirect, people seem to disagree. Most of the arguments to merge were made by anon editors (and reverted by bots) but eventually an established editor stepped in and confirmed the redirect.
  I don't have the content knowledge to determine if that redirect was correct or not but if it wasn't, the proper fix is to revert to one of the pre-redirect versions. Deleting would lose that history. So keep but not necessarily as-is. Rossami (talk) 04:28, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• On the surface these look like the same thing, the most prominent school of thought in second-century China, but I don't know why they would have different names.

The term "Huang-Lao" is an abbreviation for the thought of "The Yellow Emperor" and "Laozi", and has traditionally been a term for Daoism as it existed prior to its becoming a bona fide religion in the 1st millennium AD, though it may have been more of an independent school of its own. "Daojia" is one of the two main Mandarin terms for "Daoism". I don't think redirecting it to "Huang-Lao" is wise, just send it to Daoism.  White Whirlwind  咨  07:51, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Taoism per White whirlwind. Daojia generally refers to the philosophical aspect of Taoism/Daoism. -Zanhe (talk) 06:31, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Let me explain a bit about the relationship between those related terms here base on my own understanding plus content currently written on relevant pages in En&Zh wikipedia to help make a better decision:

• First, a philosopher called Laozi come up with his own idea about nature of things and how the world should work and his idea become a school of thought.
• There are many people who learn from Laozi, and as the time pass, some of them have different idea about how to understand what Laozi have said. For instance, Zhuangzi's thought and etc.
• Then there is a school of thought known as Yellow Emperor (Huang). They produce their own literature and say they are words by the Yellow Emperor, an legendary emperor thousand year before their time. They mainly follow and promote Laozi's idea but also mixed some Fangxian (divination) and Yinyang content into it, and it become one of the most popular branch of Laozi's idea a few hundred years after Laozi's death. The school of thought is later known as Huang Lao after another several hundred years.
• Into the Han Dynasty, Laozi's idea, Zhuangzi's idea, HuangLao, and others are then collective called as Taoism (School of thought), or Daojia in Chinese.
• Meanwhile, Huang-Lao continue to develop, and some local religion absorbed its thought and brand themselves as Taoism (Religion). Ultimately there are few branches that survive till today and become the more widely known Taoism and also the apparent focus of the current Taoism page.

C933103 (talk) 09:54, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• It's inconvenient that Chinese Wikipedia has chosen to separate zh:道家 (Taoist philosophy) and zh:道教 (Taoist religion, WD-linked to en:Taoism), but the English Wikipedia has chosen to write a combined article at Taoism and edit-warred to stop a fork (preserved in the article history of Daojia). Given this state of affairs I think the best course of action is to retarget to Taoism. Deryck C. 22:38, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Stellar_classification#Class_B. The clear consensus is that we should find the best available target and shouldn't delete. There's a bit of "I'll defer to the expert" here, and my reading of the arguments below, with reference to the actual content of the articles, is that Stellar_classification#Class_B is the best target.

• Be star → B(e) star  (links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Be stars are distinct from B(e) ones. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 23:47, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The current situation isn't very satisfactory, but what arrangement do you think would be better? There is only one article for B stars with emission, and that article doesn't really explain very well the differences between them all. Maybe straightening out the article, possibly splitting it into two, would be the best thing to do first. Then any remaining redirects would become obvious. Lithopsian (talk) 00:16, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - Maybe targeting the broader concept of B stars, such as by going to Stellar_classification#Class_B, is most helpful? CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 01:23, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I'll happy defer to experts in the area, but it seems it's currently aimed at the best available target. If/when someone changes the target article or creates a separate Be Star article then they can do whatever is appropriate with the redirect. Just put a note on the target's talk page that the redirect exists and that the article should be improved or split. Alsee (talk) 02:31, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment we should write a set-index at B star that lists all the subtypes of B with articles. We could then retarget there. -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 06:34, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to the same place as B-type star per CoffeeWithMarkets, and add a comment about Be stars.[1] Praemonitus (talk) 16:33, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - I attempted to discuss things briefly both at B-type_main-sequence_star#Be_and_B.28e.29_stars and also at Stellar_classification#Class_B. I'm far from an expert on the subject so I'd caution that both sections probably need improvement, but it's more than a start. I stand by my recommendation of a retarget over to Stellar_classification#Class_B. It works as an initial step, and one interested in more information there will be presented with follow-up links to the B(e) star article, the B-type main-sequence star article, the Blue giant article, and so on. Would be fine with a retarget to B-type_main-sequence_star#Be_and_B.28e.29_stars as well. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 09:21, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Hook Mountain and Nyack Beach State Park → Nyack Beach State Park  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

These are two separate but adjacent state parks; redirect exists from a time when Hook Mountain State Park did not have an article and so this redirected to Nyack Beach State Park. This was used only to link a designated natural landmark that spans the two parks; that list has since been modified to link to both pages now that both articles exist.

The singular forms of each of these ("Alaskan river" and so on) are being discussed at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 January 28#Alaskan river. I imagine the outcome(s) there will be reflected for those here. I don't mind if the listings are combined, but they're three days apart. In the meantime I've marked them all as ((R to list)). Si Trew (talk) 14:15, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment the singular and plural for nearly all 50 states and a few other places were created by Neelix all in a row. I felt the plurals were OK, if a little silly, but the singular implies a single river. In fact many rivers share names with places, and not necessarily the place they are located. Columbia River is not in Columbia. Legacypac (talk) 18:28, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment – There is an obscure but notable other use of "Alaskan rivers", though it's technically "Rivers". The term was used during the 1950s to refer to Ralph Julian Rivers and his younger brother Victor Claudius Rivers, who grew up in rural Alaska and were involved together in a number of major political causes and efforts until the latter's death in 1959. There were times when "rivers" and "Rivers" were deliberately confused for dramatic effect, such as a speech which compared the two brothers to the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers in somewhat comedic fashion. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 10:36, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, unlike the singular forms which imply one river, these imply multiple rivers. These redirects targeting a list of rivers is therefore perfectly reasonable. -- Tavix ^(talk) 00:15, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We did not like Frog of China or Borneo frog etc because they imply there is an official frog or only one frog Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2015_November_17#Uruguay_frog These Neelix redirects seem similar to me.

• Keep. I don't really have a problem with these. Alaskan rivers, Saint Lucian rivers, and Trinidadian rivers all direct readers to the respective targets listed above, and it is entirely plausible that a reader will omit the final "s" at the end of "rivers." -- Notecardforfree (talk) 19:39, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Follow-up comment: after reading the comments below, I have become convinced that there is a good chance that readers may be looking for a specific river (e.g. Uruguay's Santa Lucía River), so I am going to go ahead and change my vote to delete. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 18:04, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. The alternatives noted by Notecardforfree are fine, but these imply specific rivers of these names. Yes, they have lowercase Rs, but keep in mind that many search methods are case-insensitive. Note also that "Saint Lucian river" could create confusion with Uruguay's Santa Lucía River or Australia's St Lucia Reach, of the Brisbane River. --BDD (talk) 20:43, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, for example, Canadian river (→ Canadian River) is not a river in Canada (it's in New Mexico). None of the rivers at the DAB at French river (→ French River) is in France. Si Trew (talk) 14:21, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've put them at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2016 January 31#Alaskan rivers since probably their fates are dependent on these. I don't mind if they're combined, but there's three days between them. Si Trew (talk) 14:10, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per BDD. The singular implies one river of this name, not a list of rivers. This is why Missouri river does not go to List of rivers in Missouri, but to one river. -- Tavix ^(talk) 17:11, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete List of Black Hockey Players and retarget the other four to Black players in ice hockey. We don't have a great consensus but after all this time I don't see any benefits in a further relist so some decisions need to be made. What we do have a clear consensus about is that the present targets are inappropriate. Deletion of List of Black Hockey Players is clearly correct based on Deryck Chan's argument. I am not convinced by "it only mentions select players" as a reason not to retarget. We have redirects as a way of helping the reader find information on what they are seeking and this retarget takes the reader to a helpful page; the fact that it is not fully comprehensive is secondary to its usefulness. I don't conceive that anyone is going to seek information on "hockey players who play on black ice" so I don't see the first two as being confusing. Finally, the remaining four are potentially useful, not in my view really harmful and have been around for a long time so WP:RFD#HARMFUL is relevant.

While the NHL is certainly the world's premier hockey league, it's not the only one to have had black players. There's another page, Black players in ice hockey, but it only mentions select players. I suggest deleting these unless we actually have such a list somewhere. --BDD (talk) 20:31, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I'm inclined to retarget to Black players in ice hockey. While it's not a list in the classical sense, most sections list some of the more notable black people to play in that league/region. It could definitely use some clean-up though, so I'll inform WP:NHL and see if anyone has some ideas of what to do with it.

• Delete the first two. The way these redirects are phrased, I actually thought the redirects referred to hockey players who play on black ice. But, then again, black ice usually isn't thick enough to use ice skates anyways, so this type of sport even existing would be next to impossible. (For the last three, I have no opinion.)

Si Trew (talk) 07:41, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong delete "List of Black Hockey Players" as there are also plenty of black players in field hockey. Weak delete the first two on a combination of Steel1943 and BDD's arguments. Neutral on the last two as both targets are equally plausible. (Sorry for changing my mind as relisting admin.) Deryck C. 22:03, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
