Taking a fresh look at this, it doesn't say 'lower human limb muscles' so is there maybe a broader section about bipedal animals we could point this to? Kangaroos also have lower limb muscles, right? Ranze (talk) 04:46, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The point of avoiding cross-namespace redirects is to avoid readers looking for encyclopaedic content from accidentally falling into project space, but the target here is a navigation template that exists to help readers find encyclopaedic content and a dab-page would simply duplicate the template, so there is no harm at all from the cross-namespace redirect, and no better (or even equal) target in the article namespace. Ranze's point about this not being restricted to humans is a good one, but it seems we do not have any content specifically about muscles in non-human animals (we have a handfull at most of articles like limbs of the horse that contain relevant information, but only as part of larger articles about specific species) - even lower limb redirects to human leg and the "Limb morphology" entry on template:Fins, limbs and wings points to comparative foot morphology which deals primarily with bone structure and exclusively with terrestrial vertebrates.

• Of all the violations of not crossing namespaces, main and template are the least controversial because templates are typically transcluded into main articles anyway, and as you can see from the fact that in 5 years this redirect has existed nobody really bothered to change it. Feel free to point it elsewhere or hell just copy&paste the list from the template to the list (I wanted to avoid duplication, but hey). --Joy [shallot] (talk) 18:49, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - redirects from mainspace to reader-facing templates are not problematic in the slightest when there is no better target in article space (see also my argument in the nomination above). Here the section of the Montenegro article noted by Patar knight is appropriate, but not quite as good as the template which shows readers exactly what they are looking for.

• The welcome message was User:TomasBat/Welcome. FWIW I'd dub that a "non-semantic usage" of the shortcut: people aren't linking to, e.g. WP:2 because they specifically wanted to talk about Portal:Contents/Outlines, they're linking to WP:2 in order to link to every one-letter/one-number redirect, and I doubt either the senders or the recipients cared or even knew exactly where those shortcuts went. 210.6.254.106 (talk) 15:20, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose keep per nominator. We should strongly discourage internal use of obscure & confusing shortcuts with no apparent relation to their targets. There are basically unused outside of that welcome message I mentioned above; e.g. from article talkspace, WP:2 has a grand total of one incoming link (by its creator) and the others have none. I'd be happy with retarget per Tavix, since if we delete them someone would probably recreate them with an even more confusing target. 210.6.254.106 (talk) 15:20, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget all per Tavix. We should probably discourage the further use of confusing redirects and actually use them for something useful. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 21:43, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

7 and 9 added to the nomination.—Godsy^(TALK_CONT) 03:50, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Aww, I was wanting to retarget them boldly. Retarget to Wikipedia:Seven Ages of Wikipedians and Wikipedia:WikiProject Nine Inch Nails (the target of WP:NINE). -- Tavix ^(talk) 03:48, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• @Godsy: Thanks for fixing my bullet. Just so you're aware, WP:PING doesn't work within the relist template and IP's can't get pinged. -- Tavix ^(talk) 03:56, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• I was wondering whether or not it worked within that template, thanks Tavix. @Stefan2, Steel1943, The Transhumanist, and Patar knight: Please see above.—Godsy^(TALK_CONT) 04:01, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would support Tavix's proposed targets above. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 14:36, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Godsy, my opinion is that the current targets are inappropriate and that Tavix's proposals are better. --Stefan2 (talk) 15:30, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or retarget. No opinion on where these should go, but deleting shortcuts just because they're obscure or unusual isn't a problem in projectspace; if people decide that WP:NGFO (to hit a few random characters) gets a lot of use as a shortcut for Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Cesar Tort and Ombudsman vs others (to pick one of the longest projectspace names I could find), it doesn't hurt anything. Unless someone wants to use WP:2 for some other purpose, as is being suggested here, there's no reason to take it away from its established Portal:Contents/Outlines target. Nyttend (talk) 01:10, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per the very large number of incoming links that would be broken by deletion or retargetting. It may not be an intuitive organisational scheme for everyone, but it was a structured system that was promoted by at least 1 welcome template. Thryduulf (talk) 12:21, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Thryduulf: That's not the case here. If you look at User:TomasBat/Welcome, the welcome template is not trying to promote the current targets, but simply listing every single single letter/number combination, no matter what the target is. Retargeting to more intuitive targets doesn't break that. -- Tavix ^(talk) 20:45, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't break that welcome template, but that template is not the source of all the incomming links. Thryduulf (talk) 20:49, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but Wikipedia:Shortcut directory is the only other place, and that's not an issue since it would just be updated after the closure of this RFD. You still haven't refuted my point: since these shortcuts are not being deliberately used "in the wild" to point to their current targets, retargeting these shortcuts would not break any incoming links. -- Tavix ^(talk) 20:53, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

None of the other ones are notable. This is the one that shows up in the news so it would be primary topic. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:55, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Khanate which lists numerous khanates. Khanates didn't only exist in the Iranian Azerbaijan and as far as I can tell, this term doesn't uniquely refer to those Iranian khanates. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 15:25, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It'a unclear what this redirect refers to. Apparently, this may be a rough term for Film, but it's a rather unlikely search term if it is. Steel1943 (talk) 19:53, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget the disambiguation page at obdurate. There's some split of opinion, but all in all there's a majority for disambiguation = retarget "obdurate" ≈ soft redirect to Wiktionary. Deryck C. 21:15, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Obdurately → Stubborn  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

• Pinging those (with accounts) who participated in the previous discussion: KDS4444, Softlavender, Nyttend, De728631, Patar knight, AngusWOOF, Uanfala, Boleyn -- Tavix ^(talk) 01:25, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Disambiguation looks OK to me. Softlavender (talk) 01:33, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep in current form, as dab. Boleyn (talk) 06:53, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• There's no point in keeping it redirected to Stubborn as there's nothing relevant at target. It's either delete or soft redirect to wiktionary per Patar knight's comment in the previous discussion. Is there consensus on the lower threshold of pageviews for creating a soft redirect? To me, five views per month looks borderline. Uanfala (talk) 12:09, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete My sense is that no one is going to enter the word "obdurate" as a search term and be pleased to arrive at "stubborn" as its redirect ("Oh! Of course! What I really meant was 'HMS Stubborn'! I thought it was the HMS Obdurate!"). I don't see a purpose in having a redirect to a synonym disambig page that only relates to the original term thesaurically (?). Are there topics under "Stubborn" which deserve a Wikipedia article? Absolutely. Are there terms under the disambig page for "Stubborn" that are legitimate alternate terms for "obdurate"? (Little Miss Obdurate, Louis the Obdurate). No. -KDS4444 (talk) 17:04, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Soft redirect per previous RfD; gets 6 hits a month and the DAB page for obdurate is not related to the adverb form at all. Per the page view tool's FAQ, this is all actual readers, not webcrawlers or other robots. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 17:47, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to Obdurate, add to the wiktionary entry on that DAB page. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:14, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget and Wiktionary exactly per AngusWOOF. — Gorthian (talk) 19:09, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, largely per KDS4444 since Wikipedia doesn't have anything that could be considered "obdurately." There's the word, but we're not a dictionary, and per ((wi)), a Wiktionary redirect needs to be something people search for on Wikipedia, and the stats show that people aren't searching for it at any meaningful level. -- Tavix ^(talk) 02:53, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
