• May 2, 2011 → Death of Osama bin Laden  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

There's not a great deal of precedent on how to treat single-day redirects; see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 December 24#August 9 1974. While bin Laden's death was probably the single most notable event of that day, it also marked the start of the 2011 Germany E. coli O104:H4 outbreak. After thinking a moment, I could've told you bin Laden died in May 2011, but not the date; I don't think it's ubiquitous in the way 9/11 or even 7/7 are. Retargeting to May 2 is an option if we take that earlier date as precedent, but we might also deem bin Laden's death a sort of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC here. BDD (talk) 21:54, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• 2011#May (which is where May 2011 points) might be a suitable target. - Eureka Lott 03:56, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I guess single-date redirects have an WP:XY problem with Month Day vs. Month Year. In this case, there's more relevant content at May 2, but there's no guarantee that would be the case with other dates, or even that it always will be with this one. --BDD (talk) 13:18, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Coffity → Death of Osama bin Laden  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This took some digging. Coffity is a restaurant in Abbottabad, but it's not mentioned at the target article, and probably never was (it wasn't there when the redirect was created). The redirect is tagged as of interest to WikiProject Uttar Pradesh (India); I have no idea why. BDD (talk) 21:48, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. To address QuackGuru below (I can't tell if that was a question or a statement), a redirect can indeed be deleted here regardless of how much history it may have. Editors are free to argue that those with substantial history should actually be retargeted or whatever, but if someone turns an article into a redirect and that's not reversed through BRD, sure, it can end up here. I'd suggest, however, that it's bad form for the same user to redirect and then nominate here, which would give the appearance of an end-run around AfD. --BDD (talk) 18:57, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Thoughtful conservatism → Compassionate conservatism  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I'm not convinced that there is any discreet school of thought known as "thoughtful conservatism", nor that it would necessarily be synonymous with compassionate conservatism. It's not mentioned at the target article. BDD (talk) 14:38, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - You could put any positive adjective before an ideology and do this ("thoughtful socialism", "positive liberalism", "contemplative progressivism", etc). As pointed out above, there's not a school of thought that's really used this as a term. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 02:57, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. To use a Wiktionary standard, it's not an idiomatic phrase. Social conservatism means something; it's not just "conservatism" which is "social". By contrast, I don't think this means anything besides conservatism someone thinks is "thoughtful". --BDD (talk) 15:56, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Mexican grand family → Extended family  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

"Grand family" doesn't appear be a term used in anthropological kinship. Perhaps it is based on a literal translation. At the least, not a common synonym. —Godsy^(TALK_CONT) 03:40, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The term is mentioned at the target (see Extended family#Mexico), and the term does appear in several sociology textbooks (see, e.g., David Cheal's Family: Critical Concepts in Sociology). -- Notecardforfree (talk) 18:51, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I changed that occurrence to "extended". I unified terminology to be consistent within the article when I merged the Mexico content there from a stub, I missed that one.—Godsy^(TALK_CONT) 20:38, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Godsy, did you delete the term because it was used improperly in the article? It seems like the term "grand family" is a term used fairly frequently in sociological literature to describe a specific family dynamic that exists in Mexico (see, e.g., the book listed in my previous post as well as this book, this book, and this book). If a reader wants to know more about the term, I think that we should direct them to an article that talks about familial dynamics in Mexico. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 01:18, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Notecardforfree: I removed it because, if I remember correctly, it was never defined. If you want to throw a couple of those sources in as references in and describe the term within the section, I'll go ahead and withdraw this nomination. Regards,—Godsy^(TALK_CONT) 02:16, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Godsy: I added a paragraph to Extended family#Mexico that describes the concept of the "grand family." Let me know if you think I should include anything else. Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 22:07, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
