I'm having a hard time finding a connection. "Earse" isn't mentioned at the target and wikt:earse doesn't exist. My search was dominated by misspellings of erase or ears. -- Tavix (talk) 22:31, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative Press Award[edit]

Not mentioned in target article. Alternative Press Music Awards may be a possible retargeting option, but it seems that the target of the redirect may be eligible for WP:REDLINK as a standalone subject unrelated to Alternative Press Music Awards. Steel1943 (talk) 22:13, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Portfolio selection, management, and performance[edit]

The title of this redirect seems so WP:PRECISE that it is actually incorrect. Steel1943 (talk) 21:58, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative Portfolio Selection models[edit]

Unclear what the use of the word "alternative" is meant to exclude. Also, Portfolio selection model, Portfolio selection models, Portfolio Selection model and Portfolio Selection models do not exist. Steel1943 (talk) 21:56, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative One[edit]

No evidence that this is an alternative name for the target article's subject. Possibly an invented name. Steel1943 (talk) 21:28, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative Olmec origin speculations.[edit]

Unlikely, WP:COSTLY redirect due to the period at the end of the redirect's name. (Alternative Olmec origin speculations has been created to remedy the period issue.) Steel1943 (talk) 21:26, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear why the term "alternative" has to be exclusive to anything "non-rocket", or even that "access to space" is exclusive to "spacelaunch". In fact, Access to space doesn't exist. Steel1943 (talk) 19:59, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep, now that the term as been added to the target. -- Tavix (talk) 00:33, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Phrase is not mentioned in the target article, nor is there evidence presented in the article that this phrase is an alternative name for the subject. Steel1943 (talk) 19:57, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for getting in touch with me about this. The term "alternative aggression" is used in Odd Girl Out, one of the seminal books on the topic. See especially pp. 8–9. FWIW I added the redirect because I could never remember the name that other Wikipedians had assigned to the article.
If you do not mind taking your time to educate me, is it standard to require evidence that a redirect term is an alternative term used to refer to the topic of an article? -- Marie Paradox (talk) 20:31, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Marie Paradox: My apologies for the delayed response; I started performing a lot of edits here, and just noticed this. I'd say that if this term could be added to the lead paragraph, that may be enough, but preferably with a reference added such as the one you mentioned above. Steel1943 (talk) 01:37, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Steel1943: there is no need to apologize; I found your response to be quite prompt. I have made edits to the "relational aggression" page along the lines you have suggested. Do you feel there is anything else that needs to be done? -- Marie Paradox (talk) 03:14, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for the reasons mentioned above. -- Marie Paradox (talk) 19:42, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 18:15, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This issue with these redirects is that they don't redirect to an encyclopedic subject by this name. But rather, the section which these redirects target explains an aspect of the article's subject, but the subject is just about arrangements while identifying them with the adjective "alternative". Also, the section's text uses the phrase "alternative executive arrangements", which is not a title or a letter/punctuation variation of these redirects.

Unclear what characters this redirect is meant to identify/exclude due to the use of the word "Other". Steel1943 (talk) 19:28, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. --BDD (talk) 18:05, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Two issues here ... the vagueness of the word "other" since the word is not clear on what it is meant to exclude, and the target article isn't correct anyways. According to the target article, the subject of the article is about objects in the Solar System or galaxies, not about the Solar System or galaxies themselves.

Makes sense that its an abbreviation, but that's going over board unless it can be proven to be very common like RHTDM, DDLJ where they were marketed and popularly known by their short-forms. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 10:17, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is only one film named "Thirudan", so this redirect with the "(film)" extension is unnecessary. Kailash29792 (talk) 09:38, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
