• Metals other than the alkali, alkaline-earth, lanthanide, actinide and transition metals → Post-transition metal  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

This is not at all a likely search result, and I really don't see this redirect helping anyone. Dustin (talk) 22:21, 29 January 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• This originated from a page move during an article title naming dispute in May 2014 for the article that is today at the target but has had quite a few other names. This one looks to have been created very much as a WP:POINT thing, and so I was on the verge of recommending speedy deletion. However, then I checked the traffic statistics and this got 8 hits in the 30 days leading up to the nomination, and 40 in 2016. This latter 10 times as many as I was expecting (even clearly implausible redirects seem to get about 1-4 hits a year classified as human that I suspect aren't). It is linked from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Elements/Archive 18 but a mention in a 3-year old archive is unlikely to generate more than a handful at most of hits, so there is something else going on here that I don't understand. Is this the sort of thing that will be asked as a homework question perhaps? Don't speedy delete is the most firm recommendation I can come up with at this point, but I've left a note for Nergaal, who moved the page to this title, and I'm about to leave a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Elements so they may be able to shed more light.

  • I can't remember exactly how, but I stumbled upon this by accident after the redirect popped up while I was typing something unrelated into the search bar. I have little doubt that the great majority of views of this redirect occurred in the same manner, with people viewing the redirect by accident rather than by seeking it out. Dustin (talk) 01:18, 30 January 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Speedy delete. The need for such a redirect has long passed. Sandbh (talk) 01:30, 30 January 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Delete. As Thryduulf smartly deduced: it was created in a page (and topic) naming row, now rather meaningless even in the issue. -DePiep (talk) 08:46, 30 January 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Hanazuki → Japanese destroyer Hanazuki  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

I would like this to be changed into a disambiguation for other things like Hanazuki: Full of Treasures and redirecting Miu Hanazuki to List_of_Aikatsu!_characters#Noted-Minor_Students which I'm nominating now. Ranze (talk) 22:14, 29 January 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Comment: I tagged the nominated redirect and notified its creator. (The nominator is unable to tag the redirect due to a community-enforced editing ban relating to redirects.) Steel1943 (talk) 00:46, 30 January 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Two dab this. The TV show is recently released so it will attract most if not all recent searches. As for Miu Hanazuki, the character is a partial title match and a very minor character in the franchise who does not go by just her last name as common the entire time, so I don't see a reason why she would need to be added to a dab list. In fact her character redirect should probably be removed.. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:16, 30 January 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Delete. This was created as a shortcut to a 2010 deletion discussion, possibly as an easy pointer in the event the article was re-nominated for a sixth time. That obviously hasn't happened, so the shortcut serves no purpose and is never used. - Eureka Lott 04:58, 29 January 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
