• Mayor Boris → Boris Johnson  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Per this discussion on Boris (mayor), which had the same target and ended in delete. No one is using this and Johnson isn't the only notable mayor named Boris. Nohomersryan (talk) 21:12, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Boris#People as ((R from incomplete disambiguation)), since that section lists three notable mayors named Boris. I maintain that Boris (mayor) should redirect there as well for the same reason.---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 21:59, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Having a 'conflict of interest'/'CoI' isn't the same thing as engaging in 'whitewashing' by distorting the facts. In terms of the former, bias is a complex thing that all editors confront in some form or another, having to work through things; possessing a 'CoI' is not a sign as being some kind of inherent 'bad person'.

• Wikipedia:TANJ → Wikipedia:There is no justice  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Should this be deleted? This redirect is only used 4 times; these could be replaced with the destination. And TINJ would make more sense than TANJ; what's the "A" for? I suppose WP:NOTFAIR could be created, but I won't; this is just an essay and not a good one, IMO. Elvey^(t•c) 20:08, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as "There ain't no justice" is a bit more memorable than the current title. Nothing against creating WP:TINJ – Uanfala (talk) 21:32, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. TANJ as an acronym for "There Ain't No Justice" is familiar to readers of Larry Niven as an invented expletive; we have a mainspace redirect TANJ pointing to Profanity in science fiction. JohnCD (talk) 10:17, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, there seems to be an "Ozark Lake, Texas", but Wikipedia currently doesn't even have the aforementioned link, Ozark Lake (Texas) or even Ozark Lake. Steel1943 (talk) 13:04, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Steel1943. The lake isn't called Lake Ozark. The Ozark Lake is not a notable lake, even for List of lakes in Texas it is not mentioned. [1] Satellite pictures make it look like it's a dry lake. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:22, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not a valid abbreviation. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 06:22, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I created this redirect. I searched for HDRC because her full name is Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton and it's shorter to type than Hillary Clinton. I found no page and created the redirect. I don't understand why HDRC would be invalid — and even if it is invalid, what is the harm in having this redirect? --Gerrit ^CUTEDH 09:29, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. Subject not known and/or notably known by this abbreviation. For this reason, this redirect borders on a being a misleading promotion for the target's subject. Steel1943 (talk) 12:58, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Sunni Wahabi relations → Sufi–Salafi relations  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

The article should be deleted per criteria 2 and 3 on WP:R#DELETE. Sufis and Salafis are two separate branches of Sunni Islam, yet the redirect here is clear POV pushing of the type which isn't new to Wikipedia. Wahhabism is another branch of Sunni Islam and is related to Salafism though technically different; it's opponents from Sufism charge that they're one and the same. By switching "Sufi" to "Sunni," the redirect implies that Wahhabism and Salafism are outside the fold of Sunni Islam - a common charge of heresy that Sunni Muslims hurl at each other for their inter-sectarian polemics. It's blatant exploitation of Wikipedia as a platform for sectarian POV pushing. MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:38, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per RDEL#2, sufism is not equal to sunnism and vice versa. --HyperGaruda (talk) 04:49, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - The Wahabi (never seen a consistent spelling for turning the term into English) movement is indeed an outgrowth of general Sunni thought over the years yet said movement holds a hostile, vehemently absolutist attitude to most fellow Sunnis. This gets even more complicated when the Druze, the Kurds, various Sufi groups, and so on get thrown into the mix. The distinctions are complex. This redirect here isn't appropriate, and it needs to be deleted. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 00:27, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Ms Lauryn Hill → Lauryn Hill  (links · history · )     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Just created a few hours ago, and I don't think they are necessary and are probably confusing since it's not a well-known name or stage name for the subject. Steel1943 (talk) 01:32, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I don't see how it's confusing. There's no-one else named "Ms. Lauryn Hill". It's a relatively commonly used name for her, see: Rap-Up, Rolling Stone, TicketMaster, The Fader, Huffington Post, and her official social media accounts. The name is also listed in her article's infobox. It's true that simply the name "Lauryn Hill" is used much more commonly, but this is not a move discussion. A redirect is fine in this case. TheKaphox T 17:28, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• @TheKaphox: The infobox had her alternate name listed as "Ms. Hill" for almost the entirety of the article's existence until this edit. But, either way, I'm just going to withdraw this. Steel1943 (talk) 22:48, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
